Hidden Threat of Lethality

Upon entering the Jianxing Valley not long ago, Qi Ming, originally brimming with ambitious aspirations, gradually lost the grandiosity he once possessed. He believed that by memorizing the map given by the venerable symbol elder and with the assistance of Lu Ze, he could complete the mission within a day. However, reality surpassed his expectations; the Jianxing Valley was vast beyond imagination, teeming with rampant magical beasts—flying in the sky, traversing the earth, a myriad of formidable creatures. Each possessed considerable strength, exceptionally fierce, surpassing by a thousandfold all the magical beasts he had encountered in the Qiantian Sect.

Even with Lu Ze clearing the path ahead, he traversed with a heart full of trepidation, fearing that any misstep could lead to his demise within the jaws of these creatures. Thus, after a day of strenuous effort, nearing dusk, he exerted the strength of nine oxen and two tigers to barely collect a single spiritual herb.
