Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 279 - 277: The Second Ten Stars, Black Tide Nether River Leading to the Nine Netherworlds!

Chapter 279: Chapter 277: The Second Ten Stars, Black Tide Nether River Leading to the Nine Netherworlds!

Not only are many disciples curious about this matter.

In the Task Hall, even the Elder overseeing the hall is sitting leisurely in a room at the moment, watching the monitoring array.

Opposite the Task Hall Elder is an Elder from the Fifth Peak who recently reached the Innate Fifth Layer.

At this time, as they look at the scenes inside and outside the Task Hall, they can’t help but have mixed feelings.

Such a scene is hard to imagine, yet it occurred because of a disciple.

At this moment, from the distant sky, on the summit of the Sect Leader Peak, a figure emerges from the sky!

The target... aiming straight for the Task Hall!

"He’s coming... He’s here! Is he really going to accept the second Ten-Star?"

"This Brother Lu Xuan truly has courage beyond others, this Ten-Star isn’t so easily accomplished."

"Do you think, after Brother Lu Xuan arrives and sees this task, he’ll turn around and leave?"

Many disciples have already entered the Task Hall previously and have seen the newly refreshed Ten-Star Task.

The difficulty... is far higher than killing the Blood-handed Butcher!

Unless one is a chosen child of providence, it might become somewhat easier.

Moments later, the figure from the Sect Leader Peak landed on the plaza.

Lu Ye gazed at the hundreds of eyes around him, somewhat unexpectedly, attracting so much attention.

Still calm in demeanor, Lu Ye walked toward the Task Hall, and along the path, disciples respectfully made way for him.

"Greetings, Brother Lu Xuan!"

"Brother Lu, this task is very difficult..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye’s steps lightly paused, then he faintly smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder."

Soon, he stepped into the grand and bustling Task Hall.

The disciple who reminded Lu Ye that the Ten-Star Task was difficult immediately felt elated.

"Brother Lu Xuan is so approachable; he responded to me!"

At this moment, on the summit, Red Cloud Fairy stood at the edge of the cliff, feeling the mountain breeze, watching the distant sprawling hall, and sighed.

"Black Tide Forbidden Land... are you really going?"

...

Task Hall.

As soon as Lu Ye entered, the gaze inside instantly focused on him.

Including the two Elders sitting in the room drinking tea, monitoring the hall through the array screen.

This task, as the two Elders watched... they shook their heads; the difficulty was too great, unless luck exploded.

Lu Ye paid no mind to these gazes, he looked up at the array screen...

Seeing the top of the array screen, the recently appearing Ten-Star Task still available, he was slightly surprised.

[Ten-Star Task (Extreme Danger!): Go to Black Tide Forbidden Land, seek the Shadow Flower, and bring back its top root and petals.]

[Complete the task to earn: 200,000 Points!]

This task surpasses the previous kill of Pang Xiong by 50,000 Points.

Just the 50,000 Point difference between two Ten-Star tasks could match several Nine-Star tasks.

Even a Nine-Star task, for someone like Su Wan, can’t guarantee completion; for an extremely dangerous Ten-Star... no need to say more.

"Black Tide Forbidden Land huh..."

In Lu Ye’s mind swiftly flashed information about Black Tide Forbidden Land.

This is a very mysterious area within the Northern Territory!

Vast in area, its Heaven and Earth Source Qi is abundant, not only nurturing many fierce beasts, creating beast kings...

Even some top-tier Spirit Medicine and Spirit Fruit that are hard to find outside have a chance to be found within.

Lu Ye recalled that long ago, there was a rumor that Red Cloud was due to an opportunity gained from the Black Tide Forbidden Land, rapidly advancing to the Grandmaster Seventh Layer.

Having aged with time, likely nearing the promotion to Grandmaster Eighth Layer now.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye calmly walked towards the task acceptance window.

Watching Lu Ye’s progress, the initially crowded hall automatically formed a path, leaving clear access between Lu Ye and the window.

Inside the room.

The two Elders look at each other.

"Is Lu Xuan still going to accept it? Doesn’t he know what the Black Tide Forbidden Land Ten-Star task signifies?"

"Indeed, it requires venturing deep into the forbidden land, into the depths of the Black Tide, alas... wonder why the Sect Leader doesn’t dissuade him."

Task Hall, task acceptance window.

"Brother Lu Xuan, may I ask what task you wish to accept?"

Thinking about the operation that might follow, the disciple’s speech was somewhat hesitant.

Lu Ye’s voice was calm as an Ancient Well: "Help me accept the Ten-Star Task, thank you."

"Okay... okay! Please wait a moment!"

Moments later, they handed the Task Jade Token to Lu Ye, who turned and walked away without any hesitation, leaving the Task Hall in silence.

...

Outside the mountain gate.

Still unimpeded all the way, Lu Ye’s mind envisioned the direction of the Black Tide Forbidden Land, then departed from Red Cloud Sect’s mountain gate, flying into the firmament.

After traveling approximately fifty or sixty miles, when Red Cloud Sect had become a small point, Lu Ye gazed at the figure silently emerging ahead and slightly paused.

"Are you waiting for me?" Lu Ye asked.

"I’m waiting for you." Red Cloud nodded lightly.

"Since you decided to go, I won’t stop you, but I’ve been to Black Tide Forbidden Land a few times, there are things that might be useful to you."

Thinking about it, Lu Ye felt Red Cloud Fairy made a valid point, he was confident but not arrogant.

To understand as much as possible about Black Tide Forbidden Land is naturally beneficial.

Immediately, Lu Ye cupped his hand in thanks: "In that case, thank you."

Red Cloud Fairy’s gaze swept over him, saying, "Follow me."

Minutes later, they gently descended upon a clearing.

"In Black Tide Forbidden Land, given your strength, the outer and middle regions shouldn’t pose too much of a problem."

Red Cloud Fairy said seriously, "However, in the depths of the forbidden land, there are several beast kings, you need to be cautious."

"This is a simplified map of Black Tide Forbidden Land drawn by myself, marking some extremely dangerous areas, you can have a look."

As soon as the words fell, Red Cloud Fairy produced a map, handing it to Lu Ye.

"Thank you."

This map is quite useful. Lu Ye did not refuse, and immediately began to study it.

In the map, extremely dangerous areas were marked in red, while dangerous areas were in pale yellow.

These two colors were mostly in the depths of the forbidden land.

"Oh, even the middle region has extremely dangerous places?"

Sweeping his vision over the middle region’s section, Lu Ye expressed surprise.

"Black Tide Nether River?"

"Yes, this place... is shrouded in mystery." The normally confident Sect Leader of Red Cloud Sect now bore an extremely serious expression.

"This river, no one knows where it leads, it emerges in the middle of the forbidden land and extends all the way to its deepest reaches... still unending."

"Because the river water is eternally as black as ink, it has been called the Nether River, seemingly... capable of leading to the Nine Netherworld."
