Although the Return Ruins Valley is described as a submarine canyon, it is effectively an independent, small-scale realm. After traversing the ancient path, Chen Xuan and Jing Yulou traveled by flight across a landscape of undulating hills, leaving no trace of what a canyon might look like.
Only after witnessing Jing Yulou swear a Heavenly Dao oath did Chen Xuan feel at ease following him for over three hours, eventually arriving at a small hill that was notably lower than the surrounding peaks. While most of the peaks in the Return Ruins Valley were desolate, this hill was lush and vibrant, a scene not unlike the forest garden Chen Xuan had encountered in the barren woods. He speculated that this hill might contain a similar ancient well; as long as there was spirit water, life would flourish. Combined with Jing Yulou’s mention of searching for a medicinal mountain, where spirit herbs would certainly require spirit water for irrigation, Chen Xuan felt his conjecture was likely correct.
As the four landed, the gray, listless eyes of Master Huantong suddenly glowed with a startling cyan light. After scanning the hill, he retracted his unique ocular technique and spoke indifferently: "As the Young Demon Lord said, this is indeed a mountain planted with medicinal herbs."
