Chapter 548: Chapter 282: Fox Mound_2
He didn’t have much interest in these spirit grass and spirit medicines, as the ones within the Dan God Secret Realm were much more potent. The unique Five Elements Region here was incomparable to anywhere in the outer realm.
At this time, Lin Yi once again confirmed Yin You’s specific position and found that it was exactly the same as the last time he checked. It seemed that this guy had been staying in a certain location in the core area of the Monster Forest and had not moved at all.
Reaching the core area of the Monster Forest in about a year’s time, moreover as a Golden Core Real Person, was indeed quite fast.
Considering the current situation, two possibilities can be entertained: one is that Yin You had encountered a powerful monster beast in the core area and died; the second possibility was that Yin You had found a backer in the Monster Forest ahead of time.
This could explain why this guy had fled here and safely reached the core area at such velocity.
Lin Yi figured that the latter possibility was much more likely. Moreover, when Yin You left the Xuan Yin Sect, he took quite a lot of evil spirits and resources from the sect treasury, which was more than the quantity taken by the other three.
However, Yin Wei, the sect leader of the Xuan Yin Sect, didn’t obtain information about Yin You fleeing to the Monster Forest. Therefore, this backer in the Monster Forest might only be known by Yin You himself.
As he continued to move forward, a few Golden Core Monster Kings suddenly appeared in front of him. They blocked his path with the leader being a buffed up tiger demon, far more powerful than the Tigers in the Dan God Secret Realm.
It cast a divine sense at Lin Yi, “Our ancestor wants to see you. Follow us.”.
Lin Yi sneered and with a wave of his hand, a lounge chair appeared in mid-air. He slowly flew and sat on it, casually saying, “If your ancestor wants to see this lord, let him come to me personally.”
The several Golden Core Monster Kings instantly looked irritated and started shouting. However, before they could even shout a few words, they each received a slap on their faces. freewebnoveℓ.com
“If you want to fight, then fight. No need to shriek, it’s annoying. This slap was in honour of your ancestor. If you shout again, I’ll behead you.” Lin Yi sat on the lounge chair and coldly said.
Just then, a red and black giant python slithered over. It exuded a powerful aura and all the monster beasts around it quickly retreated and knelt down in reverence as it approached.
The python came over to Lin Yi and coldly cast a divine intent, “Who are you and why have you entered my territory?”
Lin Yi looked at the python and couldn’t help but shake his head. Wild pythons were simply no match for domesticated ones. Just like the White Painting, also a gigantic millennium python, its eyes held peace.
However, this red and black python had a triangular head and was full of murderous intent. It looked like it had come from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
In the more brutal monster forest compared to the Cultivation World, if one wasn’t ruthless, they wouldn’t live long.
“I am Invincible East, Master of the Sun and Moon God Sect. I’m here to pursue a human enemy and it’s none of your business. Don’t obstruct me.” Lin Yi was lying on the chair and spoke calmly.
Since this old snake was so impolite, he wouldn’t lower his dignity.
Looking at the mark on this python’s forehead, it had failed one Transformation Tribulation. Its cultivation level had not yet returned to its peak state. This should have happened within the last twenty years.
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the python’s cold face displayed a trace of surprise. ‘Invincible East’ was indeed a domineering name, and it was one that he had heard of recently.
The Monster Forest was not entirely isolated. They often received some information about the Human Cultivation World from the cultivators who entered the forest.
The news about the Sun and Moon Divine Sect had reached the core area of the forest quite early.
Because a demonic cultivator of Nascent Soul Great Perfection from the Xuan Tian Realm had passed through the Monster Forest and entered the Heng Yuan World not long ago. However, he returned hurriedly after a short while.
Along the way, this demonic real Monarch greeted some Nascent Soul Monster Ancestors and was able to pass through unscathed with the help of the Wan You Sect’s reputation.
When returning, some Nascent Soul Ancestors asked him about his rush, received the news of the emergence of the Sect Master of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, and openly advised them not to provoke this Sect Master easily, or else they would meet a fatal disaster.
Hence, this message began to spread throughout the Monster Forest.
The giant python watched Lin Yi’s style of action and made up its mind, slowly bowing its head out of courtesy, “So you are Eastern Daoist Friend, I’ve heard of your grand name. It’s an accident that I stopped you today.”
Although Monster Beasts and Humans are enemies, strength also matters, and they don’t fight to the death every time they meet.
Just like this Eastern Sect Master, who seems to be at the first layer of the Nascent Soul stage, but according to the information from the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Wan You Sect, he is extremely powerful. He can easily obliterate a Nascent Soul Great Perfection True Monarch with a casual flick of his hand, showing his extraordinary power.
“You are too kind, Daoist Friend. Since it was an accident, I will take my leave.” Lin Yi also lightly clasped his fists. Courtesies must be given in return, and if it’s possible not to fight, he wouldn’t fight.
“Hold on, Daoist Friend. You intend to kill a Black-cloaked Taoist?” The python sent another Divine Intent, inquiring.
Lin Yi wasn’t surprised, a Golden Core Real Person, who ventured deep into the core area, was naturally discovered by the surrounding Monster Beasts, “Indeed, does Daoist Friend know where he is?”
The python nodded, “Certainly, this Black-cloaked Taoist entered the Fox Mound. He seems to have made some deals with them. The Fox Clan is known to be cunning and treacherous; they won’t let you kill him easily.”
“There’s no need to worry about that, Daoist Friend. Just tell me the direction. If there’s any reward required, feel free to say it.” Lin Yi waved his hand, it seemed likely that Yin You had found a backer in the Monster Forest, and it was the Fox Clan.
In the world of Earth, foxes are generally solitary animals, but it is different in the Cultivation World. It’s been said that foxes are social creatures that form tribes and they are highly united.
“Hahaha, you misunderstand, Daoist Friend. It’s just a casual favor, there’s no need for a reward. Fox Mound is in that direction… ” The Python shook its head and sent a Divine Intent, at the same time, it pointed in a certain direction with its head.
“Alright, I am grateful, I’ll go now.” Lin Yi nodded. It seemed this old snake wanted to stack up some good karma, or perhaps, it harbored a grudge against the Fox Clan and wanted to use this opportunity to take revenge on them.
Watching Lin Yi’s retreating figure, the red and black python exposed a cold smile on its face. Their territories were adjacent to the Fox Clan’s, and they held quite a few contradictions so it anticipated whether this Eastern Sect Master could stir up trouble in the Fox Clan.
After parting with the Python, Zhi Ling peeped her head out, expressing that this old snake was very fierce, completely different from White Painting.
Lin Yi smiled and rubbed her little head, “This is a result of the rules of the Monster Forest. Being weak here is the same as telling others they can bully you.”
If White Painting was placed in the Monster Forest, it would act the same as this red and black python. In the Monster Forest, it would be truly unusual to find a beast with a benevolent nature.
Having flown quickly through the forest for a while, Lin Yi saw some burial mounds and also smelled a stink of foxes, indicating that he had entered the so-called Fox Mound.
Though there are no humans living in the Monster Forest, several human-like graves are scattered around. This would certainly confuse an ordinary cultivator.
Yet, Lin Yi, from some rumors in books about two different cultivation worlds, learned that the Fox Clan feeds on human essence, soul, spirit, as food for cultivation, and can even transform into human form in advance.
Of course, this human form cannot be maintained for a long time and it can’t cultivate the body of a human. It’s completely different from the human form resulting from passing a Transformation Tribulation.
Through powerful Divine Sense, he could feel that within these mounds, there were humans corpses that had been preserved by some secret techniques and were maintaining their vitality to absorb Yin Soul Qi.
At times, fog would billow from the mounds. Ordinary humans, if they came here, would be scared out of their wits by this horrifying sight.
At the same time, Lin Yi also sensed several foxes moving about. No wonder the Black-cloaked Taoist of Xuan Yin Sect brought a lot of evil spirits here. It seemed the Fox Clan could also cultivate by absorbing evil spirits.
