"Senior..."
"Please allow this Junior to step onto the stage and try..."
Xiao Yi's voice slowly rang out.
Immediately, his figure flashed, and he had already arrived in front of Venerable Miaoyin.
Venerable Miaoyin slightly raised her head to look at Xiao Yi, a hint of shock appearing on her wrinkled face... "Little friend, you look very young..."
"At such an age, you are already a Dou Zun Expert?"
Venerable Miaoyin spoke in a deep voice, seriously scrutinizing Xiao Yi!
After all, those who could pass the screening and participate in today's assessment were at least Dou Zun.
Therefore, the young man in front of her must be a Dou Zun.
But such a young Dou Zun Expert must have an extraordinary background!
He should not be a Loose Cultivator; perhaps he is a young talent cultivated by one of the great Families!
Moreover, Venerable Miaoyin was a Three-Star Dou Zun, yet she could not see through the true strength of the person before her. This showed that the young man's strength was probably even more terrifying than a Three-Star Dou Zun!
Such a young expert naturally made Venerable Miaoyin seriously examine him... But Xiao Yi merely smiled:
"Senior, rest assured..."
"This Junior is just a Loose Cultivator. I was lucky enough to obtain an Opportunity, and relying on that Opportunity, I barely managed to reach the Dou Zun level..."
"This time, I only wish to seek a backing. I sincerely came today, hoping to join the Sound Valley..."
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Venerable Miaoyin nodded, and then softly said: "Since that is the case..."
"Then please begin, little friend. Let this old woman see if you are qualified to join the Sound Valley!"
As Venerable Miaoyin finished speaking, her Aura instantly surged, and she uncharacteristically launched the first attack...
Venerable Miaoyin's figure flashed, and in an instant, she struck out from the Void Realm behind Xiao Yi!
Dou Qi condensed into a palm print, fiercely smashing towards Xiao Yi's back...
However, Venerable Miaoyin's seemingly fast speed was insignificant in Xiao Yi's eyes!
Xiao Yi merely moved slightly and dodged the palm strike... "What a quick reaction..."
Venerable Miaoyin exclaimed, and then quickly adjusted her stance!
The long flute in her hand changed again, and clear flute sounds instantly rang out.
The flute sound was strange yet ethereal, and within it seemed to be an invisible power.
Accompanying the sound waves of the flute, streaks of purple energy ripples appeared, enveloping the entire world...
Wherever it passed, it was as if everything had been frozen!
At the same time, the purple energy resembled sharp blades, instantly slicing apart the surrounding static space!
"So this is the Sound Valley?"
"This kind of sound wave Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique is quite interesting..."
Seeing this, Xiao Yi murmured softly.
The sound waves could indeed hold the surrounding space, including everything within it!
However, it could only restrain Cultivators whose level was lower than Venerable Miaoyin!
Yet, even though Xiao Yi had not displayed the power of a Nine-Star Dou Zun, he would not be restrained by those sound waves...
Streaks of purple lightning Dou Qi suddenly appeared on Xiao Yi's palm!
This was precisely the lightning-attribute Dou Qi obtained after refining the five-colored pill thunder!
"Sizzle! Crackle!"
Xiao Yi slowly raised his hand, and the lightning in his palm instantly surged out!
Like palm thunder, it tore through the Void Realm and shot toward Venerable Miaoyin!
A strange look flashed in Venerable Miaoyin's eyes, and immediately her figure also flashed.
She instantly dodged the attack of Xiao Yi's palm thunder!
At the same time, Venerable Miaoyin continuously changed her position while playing the long flute!
Before long, a sound wave Formation was created, completely surrounding Xiao Yi in the center...
"It looks like I need to resolve this with a single strike..."
"Otherwise, I will only expose more!"
Xiao Yi murmured softly, and then gently raised his hand!
The firmament above instantly changed color. A terrifying spatial rift suddenly appeared in the sky above!
And from the rift, a Dragon head slowly emerged!
Immediately, accompanied by a Dragon roar!
Xiao Yi's dragon abyss formation breaking spear pierced out from the rift!
Carrying a thunderous Aura, it thrust toward the ground!
Merely the residual might of the dragon abyss formation breaking spear tearing through the Void Realm directly forced Venerable Miaoyin, a Three-Star Dou Zun, back several steps!
And the sound wave Formation naturally collapsed without being attacked!
"What a terrifying Aura!"
"This young man's strength is probably even greater than the Valley Master's!"
"Is he truly not a descendant of those great Families?"
Venerable Miaoyin looked at Xiao Yi in the air and couldn't help but sigh...
And Xiao Yi also looked in the direction of Venerable Miaoyin and said:
"Senior!"
"I wonder if this Junior can enter the Sound Valley?"
Venerable Miaoyin thought for a moment, then nodded: "That is natural..."
And because Xiao Yi Xian was Xiao Yi's friend, she was able to take this Opportunity to join the Sound Valley with him...
Under the guidance of Venerable Miaoyin, Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others who passed the assessment officially headed towards the mysterious Sound Valley...
The Sound Valley was hidden deep within continuous green mountains, its entrance lightly shrouded by man-high green mist, obscuring the view inside.
As Xiao Yi and the others stepped into the valley, the mist gradually thinned, and they heard the "ling ling" sound of streams hitting rocks.
The valley was covered with ancient trees as thick as a hug, their trunks covered with dark green moss.
The faint fragrance of unknown wildflowers drifted through the forest from time to time, mixed with the damp scent of soil; taking a breath felt instantly cool.
At the same time, this part of the Three Valleys formed a stark contrast with the environment of the Ice River Valley...
What was most special was the "sound" within the valley—when the wind passed through the bamboo forest, the leaves rubbed together, producing a soft "susu" rustle.
The pond water flowed over smooth pebbles, creating a "chanchan" tune.
The entire valley seemed wrapped in an invisible "sound membrane," isolating all external noise, leaving only these natural sounds. It was so quiet that one could hear their own heartbeat resonating with the sound of the wind.
No wonder the Sound Valley chose to remain isolated; it was indeed difficult for anyone to leave such a peaceful and comfortable environment...
However, just as Xiao Yi stepped into the true territory of the Sound Valley, Xiao Xuan's familiar voice sounded in his mind:
"Little Fellow... This trip was not wrong..."
"My intuition was indeed correct. The Yin Yang Twin Flames truly underwent Rebirth within this Sound Valley..."
Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes!
With this, Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body could be completely resolved!
Under the guidance of Venerable Miaoyin, everyone arrived at a plaza.
Standing on the high platform of the plaza was a woman whose face was covered by a veil.
As soon as Xiao Yi and the others stood on the plaza, the veiled woman slowly spoke:
"Congratulations to you all for successfully passing this assessment..."
"And becoming Guest Elders of my Sound Valley..."
"This Venerable is the Valley Master of the Sound Valley, Sound Butterfly!"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but look at the Valley Master of the Sound Valley. At this moment, Xiao Yi saw through the Valley Master's strength; she was a Five-Star Dou Zun.
It must be said that there was a reason why the Three Valleys could stand side-by-side!
At the very least, the strength of the three Valley Masters matched, all being at the Five-Star Dou Zun level...
Sound Butterfly paused, then continued:
"Esteemed Elders..."
"According to the agreement, since you have passed the test and become Elders, you have the right to choose a Disciple within the valley to be your Dao Companion for Dual Cultivation..."
"Next, let us begin..."
As Sound Butterfly finished speaking, several young, beautiful women with excellent figures, all uniformly dressed in the Sound Valley's purple qipao, slowly walked out...
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel shocked:
"Wait, are they serious?"
