Chapter 707: Arriving at the Central Mainland!
Swoosh!
Then, without further hesitation, he dashed forward and vanished into the spatial passage.
Inside a dark forest, towering trees rose from the ground as if they were propping up the firmament. Their umbrella-like canopies completely blocked out the sun, preventing even a single ray of light from passing through.
On the ground, weeds grew in thick clusters, and all kinds of unknown flowers and plants bloomed in abundance. Occasionally, a few demon beasts passed by, and the aura they emitted was incredibly powerful. Even the weakest among them were comparable to cultivators at the 3rd level of Heavenly Core Realm.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, four figures abruptly appeared.
By sheer coincidence, they landed right on the back of a demon beast, instantly provoking it into a furious roar.
"Shut up."
Zhu Heng let out a cold snort and swung his sword, directly slaying this demon beast, which was equivalent to the 6th level of Heavenly Core Realm. Only then did he cast his gaze toward the surroundings.
Not only him, but Li Yun, Yan Shuo, and Qi Ren also immediately looked around.
"Such abundant heaven and earth spiritual qi."
Soon, Zhu Heng and the others showed expressions of shock.
The abundance and purity of the heaven and earth spiritual qi in this dark forest far exceeded their imagination. It did not even need conversion and could be directly absorbed into the body.
Compared to the Azure Void Region, the heaven and earth spiritual qi here was at least ten times more abundant.
’If I cultivate here, I can reach the Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm in less than a month.’
Li Yun also nodded inwardly.
The cultivation environment here was almost not inferior to the sixth floor of the Floating Island. It might even be slightly stronger.
"It seems we have arrived at the Central Continent. Only the Central Continent would have such dense spiritual qi."
Li Yun spoke calmly. "This is indeed the Central Continent. Our most urgent priority is to figure out exactly where we are."
"Agreed."
Zhu Heng also nodded.
The Central Continent was vast. Within the entire Central Continent, there were no fewer than a thousand domain realms similar to the Azure Void Region. Figuring out which domain realm they had descended into was undoubtedly very important.
"I have a way."
Yan Shuo spoke up.
A green compass appeared in his hand as he said, "I have a compass that can sense the aura of large groups of cultivators. As long as we find a gathering place for cultivators, we should be able to figure out where we are."
He added, "My master also told me that just like the Eastern Martial Domain has many regions like our Azure Void Region, the Central Continent has many domain realms. This compass should be useful here."
"That is indeed a good item."
Li Yun and the others nodded one after another.
Although this compass was not some great treasure, it was extremely practical in their current situation.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Under Yan Shuo’s control, the compass needle spun rapidly before finally pointing toward the north.
"Let us go."
Immediately, Li Yun and the others sped toward the north.
Along the way, they did not encounter many demon beasts, and none of them exceeded the 7th level of Heavenly Core Realm. Because of that, Li Yun and the group dealt with them easily.
Two hours later, Li Yun and the other three walked out of the dark forest.
Outside was a wilderness. Weeds covered the ground, and the surroundings looked desolate and dilapidated.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Just then, a purple gale swept past.
Looking closely, it was not a gale at all. It was a giant purple bird. Its massive wings stretched outward, reaching nearly a thousand meters in length.
A powerful pressure radiated from the body of that giant purple bird. Even from a distance of several thousand meters, it made Li Yun and the others feel a chill in their hearts.
This was unexpectedly a Rank Nine demon beast, an existence equivalent to the Spirit Manifestation Realm.
Even more shocking was that a beautiful middle-aged woman stood atop that giant purple bird.
Her appearance was extremely beautiful. She wore a purple palace dress, and her bearing was elegant and noble. Her entire body radiated a strong pressure.
This woman was also a powerhouse of the Spirit Manifestation Realm.
Moreover, she was clearly not an ordinary expert who had just stepped into the Spirit Manifestation Realm. The aura she emitted was several times more terrifying than the giant purple bird beneath her feet, showing that her strength was absolutely astonishing.
"A Spirit Manifestation Realm expert."
Zhu Heng could not help sucking in a breath of cold air.
Although he did not know which domain realm this was, the first person they saw here was actually a Spirit Manifestation Realm expert. This alone proved that this place was definitely extraordinary.
Sure enough, just as the beautiful middle-aged woman disappeared from sight, another golden light streaked across from the distance.
In only two or three breaths, this golden light revealed its true form before Li Yun and the others.
It was a golden flying boat.
The flying boat was several thousand meters long. Its surface was covered in strange patterns, and golden light sparkled across it, forming a golden barrier. Even from far away, one could feel the startling energy contained within it.
At the bow of the golden flying boat stood a middle-aged man in a golden robe.
His face was full of indifference as his gaze swept over Li Yun and the others from a distance.
With only this one glance, Zhu Heng and the other two felt their bodies go cold and stiff, almost falling over on the spot. Although Li Yun was not as miserable as them, his entire body also shook slightly.
Clearly, this golden-robed middle-aged man’s strength had reached an astonishing level. To emit such strong pressure with only one look from several thousand meters away, his strength was likely at least at the 5th level of Spirit Manifestation Realm or higher.
Fortunately, after just one glance at Li Yun and the others, the golden-robed middle-aged man withdrew his gaze. Clearly, in his eyes, a few Heavenly Core Realm cultivators were simply not worth mentioning.
Behind him were six or seven young people.
These young people were also dressed in golden robes and looked to be under thirty years old. Yet the weakest among them was already at the 7th level of Heavenly Core Realm, while the strongest had even reached the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
"Hiss!"
This scene immediately made Zhu Heng and the other two suck in a breath of cold air, and bitter smiles appeared on their faces.
They were all over thirty-five years old, yet their cultivation levels would be considered near the bottom among those young people, even though they were at least five years older, or nearly ten years older.
’Now this is interesting.’
Unlike Zhu Heng and the other two, Li Yun’s eyes lit up.
Clearly, the domain realm they had descended into possessed formidable strength. It was far stronger than any ordinary region in the Eastern Martial Domain. Even among all the domain realms of the Central Continent, it should rank quite high in strength.
And such a domain realm would surely be crowded with experts and geniuses.
For Li Yun, such a place was exactly to his liking.
