Chapter 191 Wilderness 12
"It's getting late, let's set off!" Immortal Lord Qingxu stood up.
Several immortal lords summoned their spirit beasts, including the familiar Xuanze, Thunder Dragon, and Golden Yuan.
Lu Yan Daojun's spirit beast was a very beautiful white crane, pure white without a single blemish. Upon closer inspection, its fur actually had a rather strange silver color, which shimmered and shone brightly in the sunlight, making it dazzling.
Lord Suyuan's spirit beast is also a giant silver fox, with auspicious cloud patterns engraved on its snow-white fur, adding a touch of nobility to the silver fox's charm.
Elder Tiexian's spirit beast was a huge bull-shaped spirit beast as tall as a mountain, and the sound it made with each breath was like muffled thunder exploding in one's ears.
It was covered in a layer of rock armor, exuding a fierce aura and looking quite intimidating. Standing on the cliff, surrounded by spirit beasts that had not yet revealed their true forms, it looked down from a great height and was extremely intimidating.
Immortal Lord Qingxu pulled Cheng Jiu onto Xuanze's head. Xuanze let out a long roar, his body grew larger, and he entered the sea of clouds like a dragon.
The others followed closely behind, entering the sea of clouds.
"Woo~!" A long, ancient melody echoed in their ears as a huge, strange fish swept high above them without attacking the group of unexpected outsiders.
The giant fish continuously stirred up the sea of clouds, forming cloud nests, and one spectacular sight after another appeared before our eyes, beautiful and magnificent, each frame and scene like a gift from nature.
The clouds here are not the clouds that Cheng Jiu thought they were, but a special phenomenon formed by the collision of spiritual energy and spatial turbulence. They look beautiful, but in reality, they are full of danger. In addition to the strange giant beasts that can be seen, there are also spatial rifts everywhere.
Guang Chengjiu saw no fewer than ten, while Xuanze focused his attention on traversing the sea of clouds, occasionally avoiding the hidden cracks in the space.
Jin Yun moved with ease in the sea of clouds, as if it were a fish in water. It was a spirit beast that had comprehended the power of space, and apart from the occasional monster that would suddenly appear, it felt as if it were returning home in this sea of clouds.
Those behind followed closely behind the two in front to avoid falling behind. In terms of spatial mastery, apart from Immortal Lord Qianli, they were no match for the two in front. If they didn't follow closely, it would be very easy to get lost in this sea of clouds.
Besides the rifts with deadly attacks, these rifts also contain spatial passages. If you accidentally enter one, you might be transported somewhere by these passages. If you're still on the Xuan Tian Continent, that's fine, but the worst-case scenario is being exiled outside the world by these spatial passages, making it extremely difficult to return to the Xuan Tian Continent.
Qianli Immortal Lord was responsible for covering the rear, in case anything happened ahead and there was no time to respond.
The team flew for several days. On the first day, Cheng Jiu found it very novel. Not only were there big fish living in the sea of clouds, but there were also other monsters, such as a big bird with bright feathers and an unusual appearance.
These birds and beasts are generally very aggressive. Once they encounter something, they will attack spontaneously. They are completely unlike the docile fish. The two are predators of each other. Cheng Jiu has even seen a large bird and a large fish fighting each other.
And these foolish monsters all met their end with no return.
As for the surrounding scenery, apart from the spatial turbulence, it was all white. Even if you felt amazed at first, after a few days you would find it quite ordinary.
This is not suitable for cultivation. The spatial turbulence combined with spiritual energy is no joke. As soon as Cheng Jiu absorbed it, she felt a pain as if she were being cut by a knife. You have to understand that even she, with her spiritual immortal body, could not withstand this violent spiritual energy.
However, the master seemed completely at ease in this environment. When he encountered the violent spiritual energy in his spiritual energy vortex, it was eventually transformed into docile spiritual energy, and he was not affected by the environment at all.
Although she couldn't cultivate, this seemed to be the perfect place for the secret method her cultivation master had taught her. Not wanting to see the same old environment anymore, Cheng Jiu silently began to practice.
Under his master's guidance, Cheng Jiu began to tame the surrounding spiritual energy little by little.
Time passed, and Cheng Jiu made great progress in her secret techniques. At least the violent spiritual energy no longer affected her absorption.
"Cheer up, we're about to enter the demon realm!" Immortal Lord Qingxu interrupted his disciple's cultivation, speaking with a serious expression.
"Hmm, so fast?" Cheng Jiu woke up from his cultivation and looked ahead at the thin pink mist that covered a large area, like a tall protective shield.
Xuanze plunged into the protective shield, and pink mist cascaded out towards the group like an upside-down curtain.
"Ugh!" Under the intense impact, Cheng Jiu felt dizzy, lightheaded, and extremely uncomfortable.
Immortal Lord Qingxu channeled spiritual energy into Cheng Jiu from behind to help alleviate his discomfort.
The other disciples showed the same reaction, experiencing varying degrees of discomfort under the impact of the pink mist.
Fortunately, the masters took this situation into account and did their best to channel spiritual energy into their disciples to alleviate their discomfort.
Xuanze didn't stop for a moment, flying straight ahead until it broke through the protective shield formed by the pink mist. The azure sky and bright sunlight warmly shone on a colorful land, creating an incredibly dreamlike and wondrous scene.
Xuanze landed on one of the giant blue mushrooms. Cheng Jiu, feeling dizzy, got off Xuanze. Her legs went weak, and she stumbled, but fortunately, Qingxu Immortal Lord behind her caught her in time.
"Ugh!" Cheng Jiu arched his back and dry heaved as his feet touched the slightly soft ground.
"Here, have some water. Why are you having such a strong reaction?" Immortal Lord Qingxu patted her back to help.
Cheng Jiu drank some water. The cool water soothed her throat and relieved her discomfort. She felt as if she was wrapped in a sticky mass, unable to struggle, and even her breathing became difficult.
Immortal Lord Qingxu carefully examined Cheng Jiu: "No wonder, we cultivators cannot absorb too much demonic power."
However, Cheng Jiu's spiritual immortal body unconsciously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy. When he arrived in the demon realm, the spiritual energy was almost non-existent, and the surrounding area was mainly the demonic power unique to the demon realm.
With too much demonic energy absorbed into his body, and unable to absorb and expel it, Cheng Jiu naturally experienced various discomforts and rejections.
Knowing the reason, a thin layer of icy blue light appeared on Qingxu Immortal Lord's hand. Cheng Jiu felt a chill run through his body and involuntarily shivered. Then, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared, and he felt refreshed.
"master!"
"I have temporarily sealed your constitution." Immortal Lord Qingxu withdrew his hand, his tone calm yet revealing undisguised concern: "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Cheng Jiu shook his head: "Master, I'm fine!"
"Hmm!" Immortal Lord Qingxu was relieved.
"Junior Sister Jiu!" Gong Cheng and Gong Yu ran over: "You looked really uncomfortable just now, are you alright!"
"Thank you for your concern, senior brothers, with your master here!" Cheng Jiu reassured the two.
After entering the demon realm, Xuanze's spirit beasts became noticeably more relaxed and lively.
"Ah!" Xuanze took a big bite of the large mushroom at his feet and swallowed it in a few bites. "This is the taste I've been craving! It's been so long!"
Cheng Jiu looked at the blue mushrooms at her feet, their vibrant blue color quite beautiful: "Uncle-Master Xuanze, are these edible?"
"It's poisonous, but it doesn't matter, it tastes delicious!" After saying that, Xuanze ran to another big green mushroom and took a big bite. Although it was a little poisonous, with its cultivation level, it was able to expel it quickly without any effect.
Not only was it eating these mushrooms, but the other spirit beasts were also nibbling around everywhere.
The wondrous mushroom world, with its giant beasts that constantly devour mushrooms, looks just like a fairytale.
Cheng Jiu watched the spirit beasts eating with great relish. Was it really that delicious?
"Xuanze and the others are tough and thick-skinned and not afraid of poison, so don't try it!" Seeing Cheng Jiu's eagerness, Immortal Lord Qingxu stopped him.
"Fine!" Cheng Jiu had no choice but to regretfully abandon his sudden idea.
As Xuanze and his friends were gnawing on the mushrooms, the mushrooms around them suddenly started to glow with various colors.
"boom!"
Spores of various colors fluttered in the air, like randomly scattered candies of different colors, like fireworks bursting in all directions, their colors intertwining and swirling, as if in a dream.
The dragons that were gnawing on mushrooms were hit by the spray. Xuanze yawned heavily, and a puff of green smoke came out of its nostrils. The whole dragon looked a little dazed.
"Bad guys! Six big bad guys!" a sweet voice rang out.
As her voice rang out, spore bombs were continuously spewed out from all around.
"boom"
"boom!"
The explosions all around, though not particularly dangerous, left a few of them somewhat disoriented.
Cheng Jiu looked around, wondering where the voice was coming from and why she couldn't see it.
After being hit a few times, Xuanze adjusted to the shattering sounds and continued munching on the mushrooms without any hindrance.
"Stop gnawing! Stop gnawing!" The voice became even more furious upon hearing this.
"Where did you come from, you little brat? Come out here right now!" Xuanze shouted, chewing on a mushroom, completely unconcerned.
"Mushroom Bun is no villain. You bad guys ate my mushrooms and then insulted me." The sweet voice was filled with indignation.
Xuanze's eyes lit up, and he quickly disappeared into the colorful mushroom forest. This idiot, he's showing his true colors now!
"Ah, don't eat me! I don't taste good, help! A dragon is going to eat a demon!" With a series of cries for mercy and some faint buzzing sounds, ice sculptures scattered and exploded continuously deep in the mushroom forest.
"Ugh~!" A loli with a giant mushroom on her head was thrown by Xuanze to the giant mushroom where Qingxu Immortal Lord was.
Cheng Jiu curiously examined the mushroom-like person. It was so small, only reaching Cheng Jiu's waist in height. White hair covered its body under a pink mushroom head, and the clothes that were visible also seemed to be mushroom-shaped. Not only the clothes, but also the shoes were mushroom-shaped, making it look quite cute.
The mushroom man groggily got up from the ground, and an extremely cute face appeared in front of Cheng Jiu. His big brown eyes were now filled with tears, and he looked like he had suffered a great injustice.
"Hello, my name is Cheng Jiu!" Cheng Jiu looked at the cute little girl and extended his hand.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist her feelings for Cheng Jiu, and reached out to put her hand on Cheng Jiu's hand.
Ah, her hands are so small, how adorable!
Cheng Jiu felt like she was being completely charmed by the other person! So adorable!
"Little Mushroom Bun! Plant Mushroom Fairy! Dragons don't eat mushrooms!" Little Mushroom Bun's voice was also sweet.
"I won't eat you. If Uncle Xuanze wants to eat you, just tell me and I'll teach it a lesson for you." Cheng Jiu felt her heart melting. Sometimes, attraction is just that unreasonable. The little guy was just too cute, and she couldn't control herself.
“Little Bao Bao! Are you all alone in this mushroom forest?” Cheng Jiu asked.
Mushroom Little Bun puffed out its chest: "I'm a mushroom demon! I planted all these mushrooms! But these bastards actually stole my mushrooms."
"None of my fellow disciples knew that this patch of mushrooms was actually planted to help Xiao Bao! Can we forgive them since they were unaware of it?" Cheng Jiu was also a little embarrassed upon hearing this. It's no wonder that Xiao Bao was angry. It planted this whole patch, and taking it without asking is stealing. It would be strange if Xiao Bao wasn't angry about stealing.
Xuanze lay on the ground, no longer gnawing on mushrooms like before. Listening to the conversation, he lazily said, "No, we know that the mushrooms in this area are from the Mushroom Demons. They are quite easy to distinguish from wild mushrooms."
"Uncle-Master, shut up!" Did you think you'd get something out of making this little mushroom demon cry?
Cheng Jiu noticed that Mo Xiaobao's expression had softened, but now she was puffing up in anger again.
"Bad dragon!" Mushroom Bao charged at the dragon, determined to teach this shameless dragon who stole her mushrooms a lesson!
"Hey! I can't hit you, little guy. You're still too weak. Go back and train some more." Xuanze said, pressing a dragon claw against the other's mushroom head.
Cheng Jiu took a deep breath. How come she hadn't noticed that her Uncle Xuanze was a bit cheeky?
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I apologize to you on behalf of my Uncle-Master. This is what I gave it. Don't be angry, okay?" Cheng Jiu teased the stubborn little mushroom, holding a bottle of pills that emitted an enticing fragrance.
The little mushroom demon knew it couldn't do anything to Xuanze, so it retreated following Cheng Jiu's force: "Good job, Xiao Jiu, Dragon is bad!"
"Yeah, Uncle Xuanze is so mean!" Cheng Jiu agreed, hoping to prevent any further trouble.
Xuanze didn't even lift its eyelids; it had long since stopped falling for such childish tricks.
But the little mushroom fairy, seeing that Cheng Jiu was on her side, happily said, "I'll treat Xiao Jiu to mushrooms, delicious mushrooms!"
"Thank you, Xiao Bao!" Cheng Jiu's voice involuntarily became louder when facing Mo Xiao Bao.
Mushroom Xiaobao rummaged through its caps, and a bunch of white mushrooms fell to the ground: "These are the best-tasting mushrooms I've grown, for Xiao Jiu!"
"Thank you, Xiao Bao, you're so kind!" Cheng Jiu took the mushrooms she offered; they looked delicious.
"Fool, you've been sold out. You'd probably be counting the money for the seller!" Xuanze raised an eyebrow when he saw the mushroom it had pulled out. A few kind words and it would even give away its own natal mushroom. It must have emptied its coffers!
"Uncle-Master Xuanze!" Cheng Jiu cried out, his head aching.
"Xuanze!" Immortal Lord Qingxu called out in a calm tone.
"I understand, you two, master and disciple!" Xuanze turned around, indicating that he would not say anything more.
"I'm not stupid, Xiao Jiu is a good person! She smells nice!" Mushroom Bun retorted, hands on its hips. It didn't believe everyone, okay? Others couldn't even see her, so they wouldn't be fooled.
"Little Bao is the smartest!" Cheng Jiu coaxed. "Little Bao, this is our first time in the Demon Realm too. Do you know how to get to the royal city?"
"The royal city?" Mo Xiaobao asked, sounding like she'd just realized something. "You're going to the royal city? That's so far! It's a really long way!"
