Chapter 562: Chapter 52: Adventure

Because of the rush at the time, he had not paid attention to the characteristics of Qing State.

Jing Rui took everyone on a plane to Qing State.

After that, they stayed in Qing State for a day before transferring to a bus to reach a remote area.

Finally, after four days and nights of a long journey,

Jing Rui brought Gu Xiaoxi and Jing Haoran before a large mountain in a Primitive Forest.

As soon as they approached the mountain, Gu Xiaoxi felt a strong presence of Spiritual Energy emanating from it.

Moreover, this Spiritual Energy was very pure, even just looking at it from a distance felt like basking in the warmth of the sun.

Gu Xiaoxi clearly felt the previously stagnant sea of energy within her beginning to boil.

"Good stuff!" Jing Haoran clenched his fist, almost certain that there were extraordinary Spiritual Objects within the mountain.

Gu Xiaoxi stroked her chin and pondered, "That doesn’t make sense though! With such a rich outflow of Spiritual Energy, it should have been discovered long ago. Why has nobody taken action?"

"I checked the information yesterday, and it seems that people have entered the mountain before, but they all came back injured. Not only did they not catch a glimpse of that Spiritual Object, but their injuries were also severe and difficult to heal," Jing Rui explained.

"So Auntie is still going? What if we also meet with disaster?" Jing Haoran said, fearing death.

"I brought you here to check out the situation, didn’t I? If it doesn’t work out, we run. If we can get the treasure inside, it would be a great opportunity for us," Jing Rui said with a solemn expression and heavy eyes.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, feeling that Jing Rui’s approach was correct.

"This is indeed a good place. We must check it out no matter what. Even if there is a powerful Spiritual Object, we should be able to escape without a problem."

"Why do I feel it’s very dangerous?" Jing Haoran held his hands together. Especially since he felt as if someone was watching him, his back was chilly, and a cold draught shot up his heels.

Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment, then said to Jing Rui and Jing Haoran, "You two wait here, I’ll take a look. If anything happens, I can run fast."

Jing Rui knew Gu Xiaoxi could fly, and indeed, she was faster than them.

"Then you must be careful; it doesn’t matter if you can’t find the treasure. I just brought you here to have a look. Come back if there’s trouble, and if there’s a problem, signal us. We’ll come to rescue you," Jing Rui hastily instructed.

Although the treasure was important, if they lost their lives over an object whose nature they didn’t even know,

she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Young Master Quan.

Gu Xiaoxi squinted her eyes and smiled with confidence, "No problem! Trust me."

With that, Gu Xiaoxi cautiously made her way into the brushwood, heading towards the heart of the mountain.

The closer she got to the depths of the forest, the denser the Spiritual Energy became.

Previously, when she cultivated the second volume of the Spiritual Realm, the converging Spiritual Energy led her forward, but now it seemed to automatically surge toward her body.

Her body was like a greedy Demon; even just standing there, she didn’t need to exert any strength, as her sea of energy would operate on its own, absorbing the needed Spiritual Energy.

Gu Xiaoxi herself was astonished.

So she hid in the brushwood, carefully making her way towards the central valley of the big mountain.

Because she could feel the Spiritual Energy in the valley was even richer, purer, and more gentle.

It was only when she entered that Gu Xiaoxi discovered the dense trees were shrouded in curls of white mist.

The forest was extremely quiet, without a single sound.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t help but wonder. Normally, such forests would be full of birds, or at the very least, elk calling out.

But now, she couldn’t hear anything at all.

Thus, she became even more cautious.

Gu Xiaoxi was almost crawling, making her feet hover in the air without making a sound.

She moved from one dense tree to another as she ventured deeper, the fog grew thicker.

Eventually, she even felt a strange scent mixed within the thick fog.

Gu Xiaoxi stood at the top of the tree, sniffing carefully over and over again.

Finally, her heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down her spine. "The stench of a fox, could it be..."

Gu Xiaoxi thought of the name Nascent Soul, and shivered involuntarily!

But in the next instant, she calmed down again.

If it was Nascent Soul, with his power, he surely would have noticed her arrival long ago.

Gu Xiaoxi stood on the tree tip, feeling the rich Spiritual Energy getting closer and closer to her.

To retreat now, she felt somewhat reluctant, so she pressed on, more cautiously than ever.

Gradually, what would have been a journey of a few minutes took her tens of minutes to traverse.

Finally hiding in a dense little tree, she emerged from the mist to see clear weather nearby and a small lake, fed by mountain springs.

The water was as blue as a mirror, surrounded by a variety of wildflowers blooming profusely; even from a great distance, Gu Xiaoxi could see the small fish swimming at the bottom of the lake.

Gu Xiaoxi gripped the tree trunk, pondered for a moment, then nodded in realization.

The Spiritual Energy was emanating from beneath the water.

Could there really be treasures under the water?

Gu Xiaoxi touched her chin, her big eyes rolling around.

She brought out her dagger and directed one of them, flying toward the bottom of the lake.

However, her dagger had not gone far when a ferocious eagle suddenly burst out.

It actually used its sharp beak to peck at her dagger, and as expected, its beak got clipped off by the dagger on the spot.

The eagle, now beakless, fell to the ground in pain, rolling around.

Fearing she might stir the grass and startle the snake, Gu Xiaoxi immediately retrieved her dagger.

Then the eagle on the ground screamed for a while before it took flight again, heading for the sky and departing.

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t understand what was happening.

So, she moved to another tree, crouching down.

She continued and shot out her dagger for the second time.

This time, another eagle flew out from the forest, blocking her dagger with its claws.

The eagle’s speed was incredibly fast, and before Gu Xiaoxi could retrieve her dagger, the separated claws were cut off.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately put away her dagger, not daring to act rashly or to approach carelessly.

Clearly, these eagles were being controlled by something.

Just as Gu Xiaoxi was preparing to continue observing, she suddenly felt a fierce gaze behind her.

Instinctively, she turned to look back. To her surprise, an eagle was plunging directly at her with such speed that she barely had time to react.
