"Crack," with a sound, a turbulent stream accompanied by a sudden rise of frost began to rapidly freeze...
Bam!
Inside the ice layer, a fist broke through the ice surface.
"Where have I been teleported to?"
The ice shattered, and a young man with short black hair crawled out.
He swept his Divine Sense, and everything within a radius of several kiloters beca known to him imdiately.
This person was Lin Jing, who had been teleported from the academy to an unknown place due to the Immortal Palace’s teleportation compass!
Once the teleportation ended, Lin Jing imdiately observed the environnt he was in.
Since it was a random teleportation, if, as Elder Shen Song said, he was teleported to a demon beast lair, then his life would be finished.
On the Celestial Essence Continent, the territory of demon beasts is not much smaller than that of the human race...
The Mist Forest, Cloud Sea Mountain Range, West Desert Snowfield... all have Demon Emperors comparable to the Enlightennt Stage, leading various domains of the Demon Beast Empire.
However, after sweeping with his Divine Sense, Lin Jing found that he wasn’t that unlucky, only situated within an unknown forest.
No dangerous items in the radius of several kiloters, not even Foundation Establishnt stage demon beasts were present.
"Forest..." Just seeing a forest environnt doesn’t allow Lin Jing to be sure of his location, then, due to the sudden change, the three pet beasts—Pine-needle Mouse, Fire Qilin Dragon, and Ice Soul Gu—started to appear one by one.
"Squeak! Squeak!!"
"Roar!!!"
"Luckily, you three have a contract bond with , seen as one entity..." With the three pet beasts by his side, Lin Jing felt a bit more at ease.
Elder Shen Song had also been teleported to an unknown place and couldn’t protect his path, if they were separated from the three pet beasts, the fighting strength he had left wouldn’t provide a sense of security at all.
"This broken compass."
Lin Jing checked the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle again, found that the mosquito beast group had indeed been stripped away, and couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
The mosquito-powered cha couldn’t be used for the ti being.
Luckily, mosquito beasts aren’t rare at all, as long as he can return to Hidden Dragon Academy and ask the academy’s instructors to help catch two in the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, they could soon breed into a swarm.
Nevertheless, being in an unknown environnt, in order to avoid being recognized by the Demon Sect, even if Lin Jing had the mosquito-powered cha, he wouldn’t dare use it.
"What should I do next?"
The Ice Soul Gu also heard Shen Song’s reminder, knowing they might have been targeted jointly by the Yin Corpse Sect and Gu God Sect.
Although the demon cultivators of Yin Corpse Sect claid it was revenge for academy experts interfering with Yin Corpse Sect’s grand plan, Lin Jing’s side didn’t believe the truth could be that simple.
Most likely, they still have intentions regarding his Longevity Body.
"Gu God Sect wouldn’t have so special secret technique to find you, would they?" Lin Jing asked the Ice Soul Gu.
"I don’t know, should I pretend to be dead and hibernate first?" Ice Soul Gu cried, being very scared.
To the Ice Soul Gu, although its status isn’t high with Lin Jing, it would rather cry in the Longevity Body than laugh inside the body of a Gu Cultivator from the Gu God Sect.
Not to ntion it recognizes the potential of this container this ti, besides, having followed the new container so long, it hasn’t absorbed even a drop of the Longevity Body yet, it feels indignant!
Before defeating the Pine-needle Mouse and Dragon Carp, becoming the top of the team, and making Lin Jing willingly offer his blood, it doesn’t want to leave!
"Then play dead, and don’t reveal your aura unless necessary."
"On our side... the main direction is definitely to return to the Ancient Country as soon as possible..." Lin Jing took out a golden leaf given to him by Elder Shen Song before teleportation.
Elder Shen Song said this leaf could help him conceal his fate to so extent, avoiding being deduced by strong practitioners of his location, but as for the extent this golden leaf can achieve, Lin Jing wasn’t certain.
"There should be so effect, Elder Shen Song managed to breakthrough to Divinity Transformation unbeknownst to anyone, hiding in the Beast Taming Sect for so many years without being discovered for sure there’s so trick."
"With this leaf accompanied by the tamorphosis Technique and Thousand Changes Technique, as long as I act cautiously and keep my identity concealed, the two major demon sects shouldn’t be able to lock onto for a short period... If they do lock on, then it’s my bad luck."
Lin Jing took a deep breath and withdrew the Pine-needle Mouse and Fire Qilin Dragon, intending to minimize using his Beast Taming abilities in the future to avoid exposing his identity.
His body slowly levitated, exploring while navigating with Divine Sense, transforming into a long rainbow, setting out to discover the outer world.
During this process, his appearance and physique slowly changed...
The main direction is indeed to return to the Ancient Country as soon as possible, but the premise is to figure out his current whereabouts.
If he was already in a forest sowhere within a domain of the Ancient Country, that would undoubtedly be the best outco...
After so ti of flying, though not yet out of the forest, Lin Jing finally saw a living person.
A youth in his mid Qi Cultivation stage, rely within his teens, was walking alone in the forest, seemingly exploring sothing.
Seeing this, Lin Jing relaxed a bit; at this ti, the most fearso thing is encountering no one.
As long as he t soone, it would signify he hadn’t strayed far from a civilized area, unlikely to arrive at so ominous place like the Mist Forest.
Buzz!
The next instant, a violent gust arose around the youth, Lin Jing descended from the clouds, landing before the youth whose expression had changed.
Seeing Lin Jing transform into an ordinary youth, the Qi Cultivation stage youth imdiately felt an incomparable sense of oppression.
Foundation Establishnt stage!
He dropped to his knees at once, worshipping and saying, "Junior pays respect to the elder, unaware the elder was cultivating here, disturbing your tranquil cultivation, junior deserves a thousand deaths."
"That’s truly all I have, I beg the elder for forgiveness." He took out a few Spirit Stones.
"If only the Yin Corpse Sect had been as wise as you." Lin Jing felt silent inside, having honestly cultivated in the academy for ten years without stepping outside, yet still implicated, truly unable to express his grievance.
Swoosh.
A spider silk shot into the Qi Cultivation stage youth’s body, and the youth’s eyes instantly lost color, successfully controlled by Ice Soul Gu.
"What is this place?"
"Answering the elder, this is Senluo Dao, one of the sixteen regions of Qingzhou, outside Linglong City, within Evergreen Forest."
The youth answered according to Lin Jing’s question, expressionless, his consciousness entirely dominated.
Qingzhou!
Getting that response, Lin Jing looked to the sky, wondering why he ended up in Qingzhou.
This place, though not the main base of demon beasts, returning to the Ancient Country isn’t easy either.
Due to the mist interference in the Mist Forest affecting the Divine Sense and the void, Qingzhou and the Ancient Country have not established a teleportation formation.
To return to the Ancient Country from Qingzhou, one must traverse the Mist Forest.
And the Mist Forest is demon beasts’ territory, many within are revered as emperors or progenitors, their numbers terrifying, usually only the Lotus Pavilion has relatively stable capabilities to traverse the Mist Forest.
There’s speculation that the Pavilion Master of the Lotus Pavilion has cooperated with a powerful demon beast.
But regardless of the reason, that was before, now under such special circumstances, Yin Corpse Sect, and Gu God Sect would certainly pay extra attention to the rchant routes through the Mist Forest controlled by the Lotus Pavilion, even if he intends to blend into the Lotus Pavilion’s caravan to return to the Ancient Country, it isn’t a particularly safe option.
Besides, if Cloud Sea Mountain Range is the primary base of Gu God Sect, then Yin Corpse Sect’s main base is actually in Qingzhou, not within the Ancient Country.
In such circumstances, Lin Jing feels that safely returning to the Ancient Country from Qingzhou is fraught with danger and difficulties.
"I recall Sect Leader Xu Xiaoyao, isn’t he along with Senior Brother Ouyang Hao following the Lotus Pavilion caravan to Qingzhou to engage business??"
"Wait... in the current situation, perhaps it’s unwise to et them, better to hide alone and wait for Elder Shen Song to find ." Lin Jing reflected, if he had already mastered the Celestial Demon Body, he would be bolder, it grants at least four thousand years of lifespan to burn, he certainly wouldn’t be so cautious now.
If he were a Golden Core now with nearly ten thousand years of lifespan, paired with the Celestial Demon Body, he would feel more at ease.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have it.
"Who are you, what are you doing alone in this forest?" After contemplation, Lin Jing posed another question to the controlled youth.
