Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Because of Si Ying, Xu Ning became famous in State Jifeng.
This was the first time many people had heard of Xu Ning.
When they went to investigate, they discovered that this person named Xu Ning was the disciple of Mi Xingye from the Yuelan Sect. His martial arts aptitude was terrifying, and he was already very prestigious in the Yuelan Sect.
Many admirers even traveled thousands of miles to the Yuelan Sect, wanting to see Xu Ning’s glory.
However, to their disappointment, Xu Ning did not appear in the sect.
At this moment, Xu Ning had already ridden Little Gray and rushed all the way to the southernmost part of the seventeen states, State Chungu.
Xu Ning knew very well that the enemy beyond the Endless Sea Abyss was about to arrive, so he had to improve further and gain the strength to protect himself.
…
State Chungu
Yunfeng Lake
This place was covered by dark clouds and thunderstorms all year round.
The rivers, lakes, and swamps stretched out endlessly.
Several figures gathered in the center of Yunfeng Lake, searching around for something.
There were men and women, all wearing different clothes and carrying weapons. They stepped on the muddy water as if they were walking on flat land.
“Found it!”
Suddenly, a man in green holding a black stone shouted excitedly.
The black stone in his hand emitted a dark light, as if it had sensed something.
“You found it?”
The green-clothed man shouted, causing the others who were still searching around to gather.
When the others approached the green-clothed man, the black stones in their hands also flashed frantically.
“Good! Good!”
Everyone looked excited.
“Our hard work paid off. We finally found the inheritance ground of the Red Sea Demon Lord!”
A burly bearded man said excitedly.
This person was more than two meters tall. He was wearing a sleeveless vest, and his exposed arm was full of muscles. His veins were bulging, as if his body contained extremely strong power.
On his back was a sharp giant axe.
The surface of the giant axe was engraved with strange lines, giving off a terrifying sense of oppression.
Obviously, this giant axe was a dao weapon.
“Red Sea Demon Lord has left behind his inheritance for too long. I wonder if anyone has entered it over the years.”
A slender woman next to the burly bearded man said worriedly.
“I don’t know about that.”
The bearded man shook his head. “But even if someone came here, they hadn’t taken away the main treasure. Otherwise, the black stone wouldn’t have sensed anything.”
“That’s right.”
The man’s words made the others very excited.
“In this case, let’s move quickly!”
Some people were already impatient.
“Okay!”
The bearded man responded.
He took off the giant axe on his back and swung it around.
The people around him quickly moved away.
Swoosh!
The bearded man injected true qi and attribute power into the giant axe and suddenly slashed into the mud.
The mud was split open and spread to two sides, extending deep into the lake. The separated mud seemed to be fixed in place, unable to close up.
“Let’s go explore the mystic realm!”
The bearded man jumped in first.
The others followed closely behind and joined in.
It was not until the last person entered the mud that the mud slowly gathered together and the surface of the lake regained its serenity.
…
“State Chungu, Yunfeng Lake, we are almost there!”
Xu Ning was currently sitting on Little Gray’s back.
From a distance, he could already see that the river and the mud in the Yunfeng Lake were connected and spreading endlessly.
Even the dark clouds above gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression before he even stepped in.
Xu Ning also felt that Little Gray was a little nervous.
“Don’t panic.”
Xu Ning gently stroked Little Gray’s head.
Under Xu Ning’s comfort, Little Gray calmed down a lot.
‘This Yunfeng Lake is indeed dangerous.’
After flying into Yunfeng Lake, Xu Ning could feel countless terrifying auras in the mud and lake below him.
“As expected of State Chungu, which is connected to the Endless Sea Abyss. As the number one danger zone here, there are dangers everywhere in Yunfeng Lake.”
At this moment, Xu Ning tensed up.
Although he was strong, he still had to be careful so that he would not screw up.
‘Let’s see where the mystic realm is…’
Xu Ning flipped his wrist and a black stone appeared in his hand.
This black stone was obtained from Feng Changge to sense the location of the mystic realm.
‘According to Feng Changge, the entrance to the mystic realm is unpredictable. Only by holding this black stone can I sense it…’
Xu Ning had already obtained a lot of information about the mystic realm from Feng Changge by using the Truth Pill.
Whoosh!
As Xu Ning was searching for the entrance of the mystic realm on Little Gray, a fish-headed monster covered in mud suddenly appeared from the swamp below.
The fish-headed monster opened its bloody mouth. Its teeth were extremely sharp, and they were lined up closely.
With its ferocious appearance, it jumped more than a hundred meters, wanting to swallow Xu Ning and Little Gray together.
Little Gray noticed the abnormality, and its demon beast instincts made it feel danger.
Although it had become a mid level void realm demon beast, it did feel fear in its bloodline when facing this fish-headed monster.
This fish-headed monster was a high level void realm demon beast.
“Huh?”
Seeing this, Xu Ning quickly reacted.
Water Cross Sword! Bright Fire Sword!
Immediately, several sword seals condensed in the air, slicing the fish-headed monster into several pieces.
After being sliced, the fish-headed monster did not lose its vitality immediately, but instead squirmed in the air.
However, when it fell onto the surface of the swamp, several monster and demon beasts emerged from the swamp, dragging its body into the swamp to gorge on.
‘Truly dangerous…’
There was a hint of fear in Xu Ning’s eyes.
“Little Gray…”
Xu Ning stroked Little Gray’s feathers again. He could clearly feel Little Gray’s unease and fear.
“Put me down and go back the way you came.”
Xu Ning said to Little Gray.
Little Gray let out a soft cry, as if it wanted to stay with Xu Ning.
Xu Ning shook his head gently and said to Little Gray, “This place is too dangerous. If a more dangerous demon beast appears, I may not be able to protect you. Since we have just flown into Yunfeng Lake, it’s still very close to fly your way back.”
“Leave Yunfeng Lake and find a safe place nearby, then wait for me to come out.”
Xu Ning whispered to Little Gray.
This time, Little Gray chose to listen to Xu Ning. It put Xu Ning down and left.
Xu Ning kept his eyes on Little Gray. After making sure that it was safely away from Yunfeng Lake, he slowly looked away.
Although in the beginning, Little Gray was just a demon beast that Xu Ning had subdued with violence, after being partners for so long, they had already formed a friendship.
Xu Ning obviously wouldn’t put Little Gray in danger for his sake.
After Little Gray left, Xu Ning walked on the swamp river lake.
He could tell that many demon beasts under the swamp wanted to hunt him.
Faced with this situation, Xu Ning directly activated his strength as a void realm eighth stage true intent realm martial artist, causing countless demon beasts to consciously avoid him.
After that, Xu Ning focused on holding the black stone to search for the entrance to the mystic realm.
Five days and five nights went by.
“Found it!”
Finally, when he passed by a pond surrounded by mud, the black stone in Xu Ning’s hand suddenly began to shine.
‘The search process was so boring…’
Seeing this, Xu Ning was relieved, and he jumped into the pond.
The water under the pond was muddy, so Xu Ning wrapped his body with his true qi to block the water.
‘I’m almost at the entrance of the mystic realm!’
The black stone in Xu Ning’s hand was no longer flashing and was just constantly lit.
Soon, after diving several hundred meters into the pond, Xu Ning discovered that there was a vacuum in the water.
Additionally, there was a space vortex spinning in the vacuum.
‘There!’
Xu Ning rushed in without hesitation.
The moment Xu Ning touched the space vortex, a huge force pulled Xu Ning inside.
Afterwards, he felt weightless.
Xu Ning was no longer unfamiliar with this sense of weightlessness. When he entered the Demon Beast Scroll Mystic Realm, he had gone through similar experiences several times, so he did not panic at all.
When Xu Ning’s body entered the space vortex, the space vortex disappeared.
The entrance to the mystic realm was unpredictable. After entering the entrance, the entrance would disappear and appear elsewhere.
‘This is the mystic realm?’
After experiencing the feeling of being weightless, Xu Ning arrived at an empty space.
The space was gray, and there seemed to be strange energy fluctuations in the air.
‘This is the first test of the mystic realm that Feng Changge mentioned, the strength test…’
Unlike the last time he entered the Demon Beast Scroll Mystic Realm, Xu Ning knew a lot about this mystic realm.
‘According to Feng Changge, the owner of this mystic realm is the Red Sea Demon Lord of State Wansheng, and he left this inheritance behind casually. The Red Sea Demon Lord is extremely strong, and he is a famous figure even in State Wansheng. Even if he left it behind casually, the inheritance inside is something that countless people yearn for. Even dao realm masters are attracted to it…’
Xu Ning thought to himself, ‘There are several checkpoints set up in Red Sea Demon Lord’s mystic realm. The first checkpoint is the strength test, the second is the mental test, and the third is the aptitude test. There are still checkpoints after the third test, but Feng Changge didn’t pass them.’
‘Feng Changge was stuck in the third test. And after failing it, he was expelled from the mystic realm.’
‘However, even after passing the first two stages, Feng Changge had already gained a lot. Not only did he become a half-step dao realm master, but he also obtained the pill formula and alchemy technique of the Demon Blood Great Pill, as well as a damaged dao weapon.’
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
Right at this moment, the strange power in the air around Xu Ning began to fluctuate.
Black fog condensed instantly.
Soon after, a hideous monster head condensed on top of the black fog.
In just a few seconds, black fog monsters were everywhere in the gray space.. They were densely packed, surrounding Xu Ning.
