Ye Chenfeng faces suspicion from Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an regarding his connection to extraterrestrial demons. He asks for their trust until the Valley of Divine Instruments event concludes. Meanwhile, He Yuantian, harboring deep animosity towards Ye Chenfeng, plots with Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi to investigate everyone after they exit the valley, and summons the Hes elders. Unbeknownst to them, He Yuantian's ancestor, He Kongsheng, is enacting a vast, ancient plan called 'Myriad Yuan Return to One,' which will drain the life force of the entire Divine Origin Realm to help him achieve Eternal Life in three months.

No one knows about He Kongsheng’s scheme, not even the Hes, who only know that He Kongsheng hopes to step into Eternal Life. They don’t know what method he will use to achieve it.

The entrance to the Valley of Divine Instruments at this moment.

The time for the Valley of Divine Instruments to open has arrived.

The entire Valley of Divine Instruments initially had no entrance, but suddenly, a blinding light burst forth from the valley.

The entrance to the Valley of Divine Instruments appeared in everyone’s view. Most of the artifact refiners present had been to the valley before, so they were not surprised by this change, their eyes tightly fixed on the entrance.

Entering the Valley of Divine Instruments does not mean that the earlier you go in, the more benefits you get, so the artifact refiners present were not in a hurry.

Once the blinding light faded and the entrance to the Valley of Divine Instruments stabilized completely, the artifact refiners began to proceed towards the entrance in an orderly manner.

Ye Chenfeng, in disguise, leisurely followed beside Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an. As his feet stepped into the Valley of Divine Instruments, he clearly felt a wave of energy sweeping over his body, likely meant to determine if the entrant was an artifact refiner; if not, they would be bounced out immediately.

However.

What Ye Chenfeng didn’t expect was that once he entered the Valley of Divine Instruments, his disguise was removed by a power within the valley, revealing his true face.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an were the first to notice this unexpected scene. Previously, no artifact refiners had entered the valley in disguise, so they were unaware that disguises would be peeled away by the valley’s power. This caused their brows to furrow suddenly.

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi naturally entered the valley as well, not far from Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an, so they soon noticed Ye Chenfeng. After a slight pause, a sinister look appeared on their faces.

Having just entered the valley, sounds from within could still be heard outside. Qi Kangfu immediately shouted towards the outside, "Master He, that brat has indeed sneaked in."

Outside, He Yuantian, upon hearing Qi Kangfu’s shout, immediately responded, "Boy, I’m waiting outside for you; this time you won’t escape."

Previously, He Yuantian and the others speculated that Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t take the extraterrestrial demon along and would come alone, as revealing the demon’s identity would make Ye Chenfeng a target for everyone. It seems their speculation was correct; Ye Chenfeng has come here alone.

Inside the Valley of Divine Instruments.

He Yuantian’s voice echoed inside, drawing all the artifact refiners’ attention to Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng had been placed under a couple of wanted orders by the Hes; his appearance was well-known to those present. They didn’t expect Ye Chenfeng to have actually sneaked in.

The most crucial thing was the latest wanted order by the Hes, indicating that Ye Chenfeng had colluded with the extraterrestrial demon, which made the expressions of these artifact refiners fluctuate.

The Valley of Divine Instruments has many restrictions.

No one is allowed to fight here, which is one of the restrictions. There was once an artifact refiner who fought here, and the fighting party was directly obliterated by the valley’s power. Since then, no artifact refiner has dared to behave recklessly inside the Valley of Divine Instruments.

Facing the gazes from all the artifact refiners present, Ye Chenfeng merely shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "Why are you here? What are you staring at me for?"

With Ye Chenfeng’s reminder, most of the artifact refiners snapped out of it. They were here for opportunities, not fighting, and the most important thing now was dealing with the challenges inside the Valley of Divine Instruments.

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi’s eyes remained fixed on Ye Chenfeng; last time, they nearly died in the Land of the Fallens.

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes turn red!

"Boy, you really dared to come to the Valley of Divine Instruments all by yourself? Didn’t expect your identity to be revealed so quickly, did you?" Qi Kangfu’s tone was filled with mockery.

Ye Chenfeng directly replied, "Why waste words? Are you thinking of making a move on me here? I’m ready anytime."

"If you’re only talking nonsense, then please shut your mouth."

Qi Kangfu was left speechless, his face alternating between red and green. Of course, he didn’t dare to make a move here; he didn’t want to be obliterated by the power inside the Valley of Divine Instruments.

After saying this.

Ye Chenfeng ignored Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi, almost making them cough up blood. Right now, they truly felt helpless against Ye Chenfeng.

After entering the Valley of Divine Instruments.

The group arrived at a spacious area with only a way out, no path forward.

Ye Chenfeng wasn’t worried about what might happen next; his sole focus was attaining opportunities inside the Valley of Divine Instruments to strengthen his artifact refining skills.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an might be concerned for Ye Chenfeng, too, but they knew there was nothing they could do at the moment. Just take things as they come.

Li Muyan transmitted to Ye Chenfeng, "Brother Ye, this is the first challenge of the Valley of Divine Instruments. Soon, everyone will face different challenges, and each will be taken to a different location by the valley’s power."

"Most artifact refiners can’t even pass this first challenge. You’ll remain here for about a day; if you can’t clear the first challenge, there’ll be no benefits to gain in the Valley of Divine Instruments."

After hearing Li Muyan’s explanation, Ye Chenfeng slightly nodded.

As he nodded.

Suddenly, beams of light surged from all directions, enveloping each artifact refiner, causing them to vanish from the spot.

It appeared that the first challenge of the Valley of Divine Instruments was about to begin.

Soon.

Ye Chenfeng was also enveloped by a beam of light. In an instant, he sensed the surroundings transform dramatically, finding himself in another space.

High mountains and flowing waters surrounded him, while atop one mountain stood a solitary figure.

This figure’s hand manipulated a Heaven and Earth Flame, refining a metal from a heavenly treasure. His method was extraordinarily mystical and quick, so much so that even Ye Chenfeng found it hard to discern.

Ye Chenfeng’s gaze was firmly drawn to the spectacle atop the mountain.

The figure on the mountain was refining artifacts, his hands constantly moving in a dance. An extreme profound meaning filled the air, his artifact refining technique far more advanced than what Ye Chenfeng had mastered.

Ye Chenfeng simply couldn’t take the time to comprehend the refining technique of this figure.

Suddenly.

The figure’s movements paused slightly, and his gaze turned to Ye Chenfeng.

This unexpected moment tensed Ye Chenfeng’s body slightly.
