In the picturesque valley, the mountain spirit stretched out her right hand, with immortal light swirling at her fingertips amidst lush verdancy, as a wooden staff with a huge white and green flower bud on top materialized out of thin air.

She placed the staff horizontally in mid-air, lightly jumped up, and sat slantwise on top of it. The staff then carried her, leaving a trail of the fragrance of grass and flowers as she flew towards the center of the valley.

Along the way, many residents with strange and unusual appearances paid their respects to her with bows.

"Respect to Lady Mountain Spirit!"

There were also some children who hopped and jumped towards her waving their hands, shouting her name.

"Yao Ge, come play with us."

"Sister Yao Ge—"

Yao Ge put her finger to her nose and made a funny face, huffily saying, "You should call me Lady Mountain Spirit!"

"Okay, Yao Ge!"

"Yao Ge!"

The children chased after her, calling out her name even more jubilantly.

Yao Ge had no way to deal with them, so she could only puff out her cheeks and let them call her by her name.

The valley was not large, and before long, she had already arrived at the cave mansion deep within the valley, above which hung a plaque bearing the words "Sky Scraping Cave."

"King! King..."

As soon as she reached the entrance, Yao Ge was stopped by two stone lion sculptures in front, and she could only shout out loud, her voice melodious as if a lark was stretching its vocal cords.

However, the master of the cave mansion obviously did not feel the same way.

Just as Yao Ge yelled a couple of times, a cold voice rang out: "Who is shouting there? Don't you know this king needs to cultivate in peace?"

"Well... King…" Yao Ge trembled slightly, a trace of fear rising in her eyes as she carefully said: "I came because there is an important matter I need to report..."

"Come in and talk!"

The palace owner spoke succinctly.

At the same time, the two stone lions guarding the door also returned to their original positions, staring straight ahead without a glance to the side.

Yao Ge sighed in relief and carefully walked into the cave.

Although she was born within this cave mansion, under normal circumstances, she was reluctant to return to this Treasure Hall.

But there was an urgent matter at hand, and she had to fulfill her duty as a guardian.

After entering the door, she immediately saw various stone sculptures on both sides of the corridor: wolves, tigers, leopards, snakes, insects, rats, ants—everything was vivid and lifelike.

Yao Ge did not let her gaze wander, and her steps quickened somewhat.

Soon she came to a spacious hall and just caught sight of a young man with a tall figure walking out from inside, dressed in a golden robe, handsome in appearance, with an arrogant demeanor.

Yao Ge quickly bowed in respect.

"Greetings to the King!"

The man in the golden robe looked at Yao Ge and said indifferently: "Speak, what exactly is it?"

His cold gaze seemed to carry an immense pressure, causing Yao Ge to shudder involuntarily, and she quickly said in a low voice: "King, an outsider has come to our place, and he is terrifying..."

She rapidly described the scene she had witnessed with a tone full of amazement and fear.

The man in the golden robe slightly furrowed his brows, "Are you sure that outsider is only a Profound Immortal?"

"Beyond a doubt!"

Yao Ge affirmed with conviction, solemnly saying: "I saw with my own eyes the True Mysterious Light above his head. He clearly has only passed two of the Three Calamities and has not yet completely integrated the True Mysterious Light into his Primordial Spirit to transform into a True Immortal!"

"If he's a Profound Immortal, then he can't be from the Witch Clan..."

The man in the golden robe's eyebrows relaxed as he spoke indifferently: "After all, it's just a Profound Immortal, even if he has some special means, there's no need to pay him much attention.

This valley is a blessed land opened up by me, the Sky Scraping Cave King, and is protected by a Great Formation on the outside. A few days ago, so many Demon Kings and Demon Gods wanted to break in but were all blocked outside.

Just a mere Profound Immortal, I can crush him with the flick of a finger; it's impossible for him to break in!"

No sooner had his words fallen than a commotion and uproar suddenly came from outside.

Subsequently, several harsh rebukes sounded one after another.

"Who are you!"

"Someone come quickly, an outsider has broken into Mo Yun Valley!"

"What are you standing there for, go inform the King right away!"

"..."

Yao Ge: "..."

Sky Scraping Cave King: "..."

Their gazes met and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

"It must be the outsider who has broken in..."

Yao Ge said a bit nervously: "If he can break into the valley, he must be even more formidable than those Demon Gods from a few days ago! What should we do, King?"

"What's there to panic about!"

The Sky Scraping Cave King frowned and rebuked: "As the saying goes, even a mighty dragon cannot crush a local snake! I, the Sky Scraping Cave King, am one of the Seventy-two Cave Demon Kings. Offending me is to offend all the Seventy-two Cave Demon Kings!

Even if a Daluo Golden Immortal were to come to our Seventy-two Cave Demon Kings' territory, they would still have to follow our rules!

Come, follow me to see what this outsider is all about."

With that, he produced a cloud of mist under his feet, which carried him floating towards the cave entrance.

As he left, the cave mansion suddenly fell eerily silent, with only the densely packed stone sculptures all around, each looking frightened, giving off a ferocious and strange vibe.

Yao Ge blinked, feeling as if tens of thousands of gazes were watching her.

Her scalp tingled, her hair standing on end, and she quickly conjured her staff and flew out.

"King, wait for me..."

Outside the hall, she saw a group of monsters bustling around, with a young man dressed in a light cyan robe surrounded in their midst.

He looked tall and mighty, impressive in appearance, and amidst the strangely looking residents, he stood out like a crane among chickens.

Unlike the Demon Immortals whom Yu Yuan had encountered before, the residents of this valley, although they had also transformed into human forms, still retained some features of their respective races.
