Chapter 152: Python In The Valley
"But where should we put the little guy?"
In the pavilion, Gu He furrowed his brows.
He did consider placing the little one in his own courtyard.
However, his courtyard had too much traffic, with Cloud Mist Sect elders coming to him for pills almost every month.
This was his duty as an honorary elder of Cloud Mist Sect.
Since he enjoyed the generous treatment offered by Cloud Mist Sect, he couldn't refuse.
Gu He did feel some attachment to Cloud Mist Sect.
After all, without the sect's strong support in the past, he wouldn't have become the Alchemy King so quickly.
So, even though Gu He no longer needed Cloud Mist Sect, he had no intention of leaving.
Of course, if the situation demanded it, Gu He wouldn't be stubborn and would leave when necessary.
With so many outsiders coming and going, it was not suitable to leave the little one in his courtyard.
Given the little one's abilities, a secluded place with minimal traffic would be the best choice.
The mountain range where Gu He often went into seclusion seemed like a good option.
However, that mountain range was quite far from Cloud Mist Sect.
Gu He treasured the little one's extraordinary abilities.
Placing the little one too far away might pose a risk if something happened, and Gu He couldn't arrive in time.
That seemed inappropriate.
Even though the little one could handle even ordinary Martial Saints with ease, there might be powerful wanderers in the sparsely populated northwest region.
But what if some strong individual liked traveling the continent and happened upon the little one? That wouldn't be good.
Better safe than sorry.
The little one was extremely important to Gu He now.
He didn't want to consider any dangerous places.
Gu He thought of a few places but gave up after careful consideration.
Half an hour later, Gu He suddenly set down his teacup and looked towards the rear of Cloud Mist Sect.
That was the forbidden area of Cloud Mist Sect, where the back mountain was located.
"Perhaps, the back mountain is a good place."
As if realizing something, Gu He's deep eyes gradually brightened.
Cloud Mist Sect was named after Cloud Mist Mountain.
In reality, Cloud Mist Mountain was vast, and the portion occupied by Cloud Mist Sect was just one-tenth of the whole mountain.
Because Cloud Mist Sect was established in front of Cloud Mist Mountain, the remaining part was called Cloud Mist Sect's back mountain.
And it was this back mountain that Gu He now thought of as a place to settle the little one.
With Gu He's current peak Profound Realm soul power, he could envelop the entire Cloud Mist Sect when fully unleashing his soul power.
As long as Gu He wanted, no movement on Cloud Mist Mountain could escape his notice.
Moreover, the little one's soul realm had reached the Spiritual Realm.
In case of danger, she could instantly use her soul power to notify Gu He.
From a safety perspective, Cloud Mist Sect's back mountain was undoubtedly the best choice.
Next, Cloud Mist Mountain's back mountain is a forbidden area of Cloud Mist Sect, and without the sect master's order, no one is allowed to enter.
This also led to the fact that there is almost no human activity in Cloud Mist Sect's back mountain.
Some fourth and fifth-order magical beasts survive there, but they pose no threat to the little one.
Even if high-ranking members of Cloud Mist Sect enter the back mountain with the sect master's order, under the influence of the soul illusion created by the little one, they cannot discover her presence.
The power of Spiritual Realm souls is unquestionable, even the former sect master Yunshan would be trapped in a soul illusion.
Moreover, Cloud Mist Sect's back mountain is extremely close to Gu He's courtyard, and with the ability to unleash his soul power, Gu He can instantly reach any part of the back mountain.
In the future, bringing disciples to the little one's territory for cultivation will also be very convenient.
After considering all aspects, Gu He finally made a final decision.
That is to place the little one in Cloud Mist Sect's back mountain.
With the decision made, Gu He no longer hesitated. He released all his soul power and probed towards Cloud Mist Sect's back mountain.
He wanted to choose a Feng Shui treasure to settle the little one, and a terrain like the valley in the Beast Mountain Range would be perfect.
...
The forest was vast, and dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves.
The roars of magical beasts echoed through the woods, and dry leaves rustled as they fell.
Deep within Cloud Mist Mountain, this was a dense primeval forest, with towering ancient trees that reached the clouds, blocking out the sun.
Within, there were many fourth and fifth-order magical beasts roaming for food.
In the dim primeval forest, occasional roars of magical beasts broke the silence.
Magical beasts below the sixth order were fierce and bloodthirsty.
For survival, frequent clashes and killings occurred in the dense forest, disrupting the tranquility of this primitive forest.
Yet, in the deepest part of Cloud Mist Sect, in the very center, there was perpetual silence.
Any magical beast that arrived here would show signs of fear and dread before hastily fleeing.
In the world of magical beasts, strength was respected.
Obviously, this silent place was home to a king among magical beasts in this area.
This was a valley surrounded by mountains, with only one entrance.
Inside the valley, energy abounded, and various plants flourished abundantly.
In one corner of the valley, there was a deep and cold pond, covering dozens of yards in width and depth.
At this moment, at the bottom of the pond, a massive creature lay silently.
It was a giant python covered in blue scales, its body stretching tens of yards, and a single horn protruded from its ferocious head like a long spear, emitting a cold and eerie luster, as if it could tear apart the world in an instant.
The python exuded a sharp and terrifying aura, unmistakably a peak fifth-order magical beast.
In Cloud Mist Mountain, a fifth-order peak magical beast was enough to be the ruler of this primeval jungle.
It was precisely because of the existence of this python that this valley became a rare tranquil place in Cloud Mist Sect's back mountain.
At this moment, the python was quietly lying at the bottom of the pond, eyes closed, in a state of peaceful slumber, looking quite content.
Just then, a powerful soul force swept through and quickly returned, hovering in the air above the valley.
"Hmm, this valley is not bad."
With a hearty and surprised voice, a figure in white suddenly appeared in the valley, standing by the edge of the deep and cold pond.
The person in white did not conceal their aura, and the python, which was in a state of sleep, suddenly sensed the danger. Fierce anger flashed in its huge pupils, and it swiftly surged up from the bottom of the cold pond.
Boom!
In the next moment, the previously calm deep and cold pond churned violently, and a massive water column, tens of yards in height, shot up into the sky.
