Chapter 165: Misty Forest
Qingling Beast Taming Sect.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the demon Lin Xia has repaired the ancient teleportation array deep in Beiwang Mountain and has left." A young disciple hurried into the main hall.
The Sect Master, Immortal Lingyuan, looked a little unhappy and said calmly, "I understand. You can go down."
The young disciple hesitated for a moment and did not leave immediately, as if he had something else to say.
"What else?" Immortal Lingyuan was a little impatient. Because of this female cultivator named Lin Xia, their Qingling Beast Taming Sect suffered a huge loss, and his prestige as the sect leader was almost gone.
Despite this, he still did not avenge Hao'er.
Lingyuan Immortal Lord couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart, including resentment towards Lin Xia and guilt for not being able to avenge his only son Li Haoqing.
Hao'er is his only bloodline, with outstanding talent and a promising future. However, because of Lin Xia, his cultivation has regressed and he is plagued by inner demons.
He should have killed Lin Xia at all costs to avenge Hao'er, but now the attitudes of the various peak masters and elders in the sect forced him to be cautious.
Although the sect leader looked unhappy, the young disciple still said, "After the demon Lin Xia left, the ancient teleportation array that had been repaired broke down again... According to the news, it is no longer usable."
"Bang!" The innocent little disciple was knocked away, followed by a roar, "Get out!"
……
As soon as Lin Xia stepped onto the teleportation array, he felt like he had entered a void. It was pitch black and extremely quiet all around him.
I don’t know how much time had passed, so long that Lin Xia had fallen into a coma unconsciously. "Splash!" When the feeling of weightlessness came, Lin Xia fell into a pool of green water before he could react.
The whole person was submerged in the pool water. He swallowed several mouthfuls of water before floating out of the clear pool water.
The rich spiritual energy around washed over Lin Xia's body. It was at this moment that Lin Xia clearly realized that he had arrived at the other side of the teleportation array. The spiritual energy here was much richer than that of Qianyuan Continent.
Lin Xia used his spiritual power to fly out of the pool and began to look around.
This place is at the foot of a cliff. The surroundings are so quiet that it seems as if time has stopped. There is no trace of any cultivators or monsters.
Even in the pool of water where he had just fallen, there was no sign of life.
The towering cliffs stand like giants, blocking the sun and casting large shadows, making this world appear even more quiet and peaceful.
The cliff in front was covered with unknown vines, and many huge nests could be seen on the vines, densely packed and staggered.
Lin Xia released his spiritual sense and carefully explored the area, but found nothing unusual.
In those nests, there were occasionally a few eggs the size of a fist, but the rest were empty.
Lin Xia guessed that this should be the nest of some kind of bird monster.
But it’s a bit strange. How could there be no monsters guarding the nest with eggs?
Without thinking too much, Lin Xia turned around and looked back.
Not far away, a dense forest is lush and green, like a green world. The trees are tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light.
Soon, the sky darkened and the roars of monsters were heard in the distance. As they got closer, Lin Xia knew that these must be the owners of the nests on the cliff returning to their nests.
Not knowing the details of these monsters, Lin Xia didn't want to confront them rashly, so he quickened his pace and hid in the dense forest not far away.
Although he didn't know where this place was, Lin Xia guessed that the only way to leave here was to go through this dense forest.
This was a completely unfamiliar place and he didn't know the way, but Lin Xia still relied on his past experience and walked into the dense forest.
Not long after they started walking, it became completely dark. Within the range of Lin Xia's consciousness, he discovered several cultivators not far away.
If Lin Xia didn't want to be discovered by those monks, he could do it, but what Lin Xia needed most now was to blend into the crowd and figure out where he was.
Therefore, Lin Xia did not hide, and even took the initiative to make some noise, and then walked towards the direction of those cultivators.
Surrounded by several tall trees, a fire was burning, and the flames illuminated a small area around it.
The cultivation levels of those cultivators were not high. Only one of them was at the Golden Core stage, while the rest were at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Training stages. They wore uniform disciple uniforms and were obviously disciples from a certain sect or force who came here to train.
Hearing the noise, they all became alert, stood up, and stared at the direction where Lin Xia was coming.
In order to avoid being misunderstood, Lin Xia slowly stopped.
Seeing that the person coming was just a female cultivator, several monks relaxed their vigilance a little.
The Jindan-stage cultivator with the highest cultivation level was the first to ask, "Who are you? Why are you traveling alone so late at night?"
Lin Xia bowed slightly, quickly thinking of a reason in his mind. "My name is Lin Xia. A few days ago, I accidentally fell off a cliff and entered this dense forest. I then lost my way in the forest. I saw the fire and came here to ask for directions. I wonder if you fellow Taoists can help me point out the direction to get out of this forest?"
Several cultivators looked at each other, then looked at the ordinary robes on Lin Xia, and concluded that Lin Xia must be a casual cultivator.
Although Qianmiao Forest is not a particularly dangerous place, there are still many dangerous monsters in it. Therefore, disciples from famous sects and major families will not choose to step into here alone, but will form teams to gain experience. Only helpless independent cultivators will come here to take risks alone.
As for what Lin Xia had just said about falling off the cliff, these cultivators automatically ignored it. It was obvious that these cultivators thought Lin Xia was just looking for an excuse to go with them.
After a moment's deliberation, the leading Jindan cultivator spoke: "The Qianmiao Forest is full of obstacles, and it's inevitable that you'll get lost if you're all alone. We'll be heading out in a few days as well. If you're willing, why not join us?"
Lin Xia naturally wanted it very much and nodded quickly, "That's great. Thank you so much, fellow Taoists."
Lin Xia's impatience naturally deepened the misunderstanding of the cultivators on the opposite side. As expected, this female cultivator just wanted to travel with them.
For the following time, Lin Xia sat quietly in the corner, listening to the monks chatting and capturing the information he wanted from them.
Lin Xia learned from several cultivators on the opposite side that this dense forest is called Qianmiao Forest and is located on the Sky Island. If one wants to leave the Sky Island, one needs to fly across the Fantasy Sea.
The reason why they chose to leave Qianmiao Forest in a few days was because a flying boat from a trading company would come here to pick them up in a few days.
The company's flying boat will dock at the edge of Qianmiao Forest. As long as the cultivators pay the spirit stones, they can board the flying boat. There are no other restrictions.
