Arrival at the Ancient Forest

She took care of Little Flame for several months.

Little Flame had just paid his dues to Hu Nuannuan.

He spat out a fruit pit, glanced sideways at Hu Nuannuan, and said:

"Little fox, I understand what you mean."

"However, a mere lowly Demon Beast is not worthy of climbing into this dragon's bed."

At this point, Little Flame raised his head, his face full of pride.

This is the pride bestowed upon it by the True Dragon Blood.

"Only when your bloodline evolves to the level of Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox will you barely qualify to be my concubine."

Do you understand?

Upon hearing this, Hu Nuannuan was not angry at all; instead, she went along with it and said:

"The True Dragon is right."

"My bloodline is now too weak; I am truly unworthy of you, sir."

Little Flame nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmm, at least she has some self-awareness."

Hu Nuannuan blinked and whispered:

"However, I do not seek any official title."

"I only ask to stay by the True Dragon's side, even if it's just as a maid, I'd be willing."

True Dragon Blood!

The most elite bloodline of the Demon Race.

The Beast King the Purple Cloud Mountain Range is incomparable to the Little Flame before us.

If one could stay by his side, their future would be bright.

Upon hearing this, Little Flame glanced at Hu Nuannuan's appearance and figure.

He rubbed his chin, "She's got a pretty good appearance and figure."

But... we'll see.

This dragon doesn't just tame any demon.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen shook his head helplessly.

This Little Flame is really getting going.

That's normal, though.

The Demon Race places great importance on bloodline and strength.

It's quite normal for Hu Nuannuan to have both of these Little Flame.

He turned his head and started chatting with Great Sage and Little Peach.

"Great Sage, you shouldn't be far from reaching the Fourth Stage Late Stage now, right?"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage immediately perked up.

"This Great Sage is not far from the Fourth Stage Late Stage. At most, he will be able to break through again in three years."

Time flies, and six months later...

The Mystic Firmament Warship arrived at the Endless Sea.

The sea was turbulent.

This place is far removed from Human Race and the mainland.

It is a place where Sea Demon gather.

Even from the edge, Zhang Xuanchen sensed that there were more than ten Third Stage Demon Beast hidden in the deep sea.

I couldn't help but sigh:

"The Endless Sea truly lives up to its name."

Those who are not at the Nascent Soul probably cannot even cross the edge of the Endless Sea.

No wonder cultivators from the South Sea Immortal Continent, even those at the Nascent Soul Cultivator stage from top sects, rarely cross the Endless Sea to reach the Central Land Immortal Continent.

"Azure Lion, you and those sea Demon Beast belong to the same Demon Race."

"It seems much easier to travel to the Central Land Immortal Continent than to the Human Race, so why not go Central Lands to seek an opportunity to break through to the Fifth-grade?"

Upon hearing this, the Azure Lion gave a bitter smile, "You jest, Venerable One."

We, the Demon Beast of the mainland, have no close relationship with the Sea Demon.

Furthermore, Demon Beast will devour each other, and for those high-level Sea Demon, we are walking tonics.

Moreover, this Endless Sea is not only inhabited by Sea Demon, but also by Deep-Sea Evil Spirits.

Without substantial strength or proper clearance, any contact will result in certain death.

"However, there is no need to go to Central Lands now."

My Spirit Vein in the South Sea Immortal Continent have already advanced to the Fifth-grade.

The path to the Fifth-grade is already open; why bother seeking the distant one when the path is near?

Zhang Xuanchen nodded. The Spirit Vein in the Core Zone the Azure Nether Mountain Range and the Purple Cloud Mountain Range have all advanced to the Fifth-grade.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two Beast Kings to go into seclusion at the same time.

As Zhang Xuanchen chatted with the Azure Lion, he gained a deeper understanding of the Endless Sea.

Nascent Soul cultivation level only grants the ability to survive in the Endless Sea.

Those at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and below are delusional, wanting to reach the Endless Sea Line faster.

The Nascent Soul Late Stage depend on luck.

Only those at the Nascent Soul Peak stage have a greater chance of successfully reaching the Central Land Immortal Continent.

Two months later.

A massive continent appeared on the surface of the Endless Sea.

It was the Ancient Forest.

Looking into the distance, one can see an endless expanse of verdant forest stretching across the land.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, their branches and leaves blocking out the sun.

As the distance gets closer.

Zhang Xuanchen discovered that on this continent, some trees were tens of thousands of feet tall, with canopies resembling continuous mountain ranges.

Various vines are also wrapped around the thick tree trunk.

A thick fog shrouded the forest, within which flashes of lightning, colorful clouds, and the silhouettes of enormous Demon Beast could be seen from time to time.

A series of long, drawn-out roars echoed out.

The sound pierced through the clouds, causing ripples to spread across the sea.

"Such an ancient feel."

The Azure Lion stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the Ancient Forest ahead, his expression filled with awe.

"Legend has it that this Ancient Forest is home to many Demon Beasts that have never appeared in the South Sea Immortal Continent."

And other races.

The outside world consists only of First Stage and Second Stage.

The depths remain unknown.

Hu Nuannuan also abandoned her usual alluring demeanor, her expression turning solemn as she said in a deep voice:

"A Yao Sect once ventured into my Purple Cloud Mountain Range to explore it."

The Ancient Forest contains many ancient bloodlines, some of which are Demon Race that have been thriving since High Antiquity times.

However, no Demon Beast of the Fourth Stage or higher, alien races, or humans were found.

Because, just as he was about to venture deeper, he received a warning.

So he withdrew.

Hearing this, the Great Sage, carrying his Golden Staff, gleamed with fighting spirit and smirked, saying:

"Oh? It can instill fear in Fourth Stage Yao Sect?"

Hahaha."

"It seems this place is suitable for this Great Sage to stretch his muscles."

Little Peach quickly said, "Don't do anything reckless."

"We're here to scout the situation, not to start a war with the entire Ancient Forest."

Don't ruin Brother Chen's plan.

Zhang Xuanchen remained silent, his gaze fixed on the depths of the Ancient Forest.

The Mystic Firmament Warship slowly descended to the edge of the Ancient Forest.

Zhang Xuanchen secretly inquired:

"Well, Xuanjing, are there any powerful individuals in this Ancient Forest?"

"It is not yet perceived at this time; it must be deep within."

Be careful, try not to take action.

To avoid any accidents.

This Ancient Forest is shrouded in an invisible barrier. Once you enter it, you will be sensed by some being within the Ancient Forest.

He must be a very capable person.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen's expression turned solemn, and he nodded, saying, "Alright."

I see.

It seems the waters of this Ancient Forest are deeper than I imagined.

As the warship landed, a faint spatial fluctuation rippled out from the edge of the forest, as if an invisible barrier enveloped the entire forest.

Zhang Xuanchen raised his hand and cast a Method Formula.

The array patterns on the warship lit up one after another, then transformed into a stream of light that passed through the invisible barrier.

After everyone disembarked, Zhang Xuanchen stored the warship in his Myriad Spirit Ring.

Then they headed deeper into the Ancient Forest.

Along the way, the group encountered many races they had never seen before.

Demon Race with transparent wings on its back and a body as if sculpted from crystal flew through the forest.

A giant ape with three heads is carrying spirit wood.

Furthermore, the three faces each display a different expression: joy, anger, and sorrow.

Beside a forest stream, a group of Demon Race clad in blue scales and sporting single horns on their heads were drinking water.

They are calm and slow-moving, seemingly not adept at fighting, yet they are able to manipulate water veins.

"Crystal Butterfly Demon, Three-Headed Mountain-Moving Ape, Water-Scaled Unicorn."

Zhang Xuanchen looked shocked. He had only seen these three kinds of Demon Beast in the Starry Emperor Sovereign's inheritance books.

It is Demon Beast from the Spirit Realm.

It seems that this Ancient Forest, like the Dragon Domain, belongs to a certain area of the Spirit Realm.
