The Central Continent and the Demon Territory
The two Golden Core elders swaggered around the territory of the Spirit Transformation stage Demon Beast —not because they couldn't defeat them, but because there was no need to cause trouble—and arrived deep in the dense forest.
"The fog is so thick."
Before them lay a thick fog so dense that they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces, like walking through reeds, unable to see the path ahead and having to rely solely on their senses to move forward.
"Ha!"
Meng Jingzhou slapped out a palm, the palm print gleaming with golden light, more than a meter tall, with an astonishing palm wind. Normally, this palm alone could blow away a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage, but unexpectedly, the palm print hit the mist and didn't even create a ripple.
Even a palm strike couldn't disperse the fog in front of him.
Lu Yang used his proud Divine Sense, but he never expected that his Divine Sense could not extend at all and would dissipate upon touching the mist.
"I'd heard there was mist deep in the forest before, but I never expected it to be this strange. It's so thick that even Divine Sense can't penetrate it—no, it's more like it's broken down Divine Sense."
During their training at the Demon Suppression Pass, the two had heard that the area deep in the forest bordering the Demon Realm was shrouded in thick fog that never dissipated, even at noon.
"I thought that once you reach the Golden Core stage, this legendary mist would be nothing special, but now it seems I was too naive. This is probably not something created by a Demon Beast like the Mirage King."
Now that my Divine Sense is unusable and my five senses are greatly diminished, my perception of my surroundings is reduced, making it easy for someone to launch a sneak attack.
The two dared not be careless and walked with utmost caution in the fog, trying to minimize their presence.
Their worries were unnecessary. In the fog, they couldn't detect the enemy's situation, and the enemy couldn't detect their position either. No one would choose to launch a sneak attack here.
"Could this be the anomaly that Senior Sister was talking about?" Lu Yang suddenly remembered what Senior Sister had said before she set off.
"What did Senior Sister say?"
"My eldest sister told me that there might be new discoveries at the border between the Central Continent and the Demon Realm. If I have any questions, I can ask my third sister when I see her."
"It must be fog."
At this moment, the Immortal Fairy awoke from her sleep. She had slept comfortably all the way, and her strength had been greatly restored.
"Huh? Where are you two? Why is there a wall in front of you?"
The Immortal Fairy woke up groggily, rubbing her eyes as she reminded Lu Yang that he was about to crash into the wall if she didn't.
"Wall?"
The fog was too thick, Lu Yang couldn't see anything.
"The wall is so tall, I can't see the end of it... Wait, something's not right!"
The Immortal Fairy gasped softly, sensing something amiss.
No matter how strange the fog was, it could not obstruct her vision and divine sense; she could clearly see her surroundings.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yang rarely saw the Immortal Fairy react so strongly.
The last time she reacted this strongly was when she shouted that she wanted to be suppressed, and was subsequently suppressed by the summoned senior sister.
"I will share my divine consciousness with you."
In the spiritual space, the Immortal Fairy tapped Lu Yang's spiritual body on the forehead, connecting his Divine Sense and immortal sense, and Lu Yang temporarily gained the Immortal Fairy's vision.
Lu Yang felt his body lighten, his vision became boundless, as if he were a god high above, with everything presented before him and at his disposal.
"What's this!"
Lu Yang looked on in disbelief. In front of him was an unimaginably tall and thick wall, which even the fairy's Divine Sense could not see the end of!
The fairy's Divine Sense even extended beyond the mist, and Lu Yang saw shrubs growing on the walls, trees standing tall, Demon Beast running around, and tribes gathering—a thriving scene.
Most importantly, the Demon Beast Lu Yang saw was standing on the wall!
"Lu Yang, where are you?"
Meng Jingzhou was unaware that Lu Yang had stopped; he was still walking forward when he turned around and the person beside him was gone.
Lu Yang was silent for a moment; he had watched Meng Jingzhou "walk" to the wall.
The moment Meng Jingzhou touched the wall, he stood on it, forming a ninety-degree angle with Lu Yang.
Meng Jingzhou continued walking forward, indicating that he was completely unaware of what was happening!
"Don't go yet, come back here!"
Lu Yang called out, Meng Jingzhou turned around, puzzled. But since Lu Yang had called out, he must have discovered something, so he took a few steps back and stood next to Lu Yang.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Jingzhou was puzzled.
Lu Yang's heart trembled. The scene he saw with his divine sense, and Meng Jingzhou's coming and going, made him realize one thing—what lay before him was not a thick wall at all, but a demon realm!
The Central Continent and the Demon Realm are not on the same continent, but on two completely different continents, and these two continents are placed vertically!
Lu Yang took a step forward, and in the eyes of the immortals, the world spun around them as they arrived in the Demon Realm.
Lu Yang returned to the Central Continent and told Meng Jingzhou everything he had discovered. Meng Jingzhou remained silent for a long time after hearing it.
"It seems this is the 'new discovery' that Senior Sister was talking about."
"I never imagined that the Central Continent and the Demon Realm were two completely different continents... Wait, why is the Central Continent called 'Central'?"
Lu Yang suddenly thought of another question.
Lu Yang had always thought that the Central Continent was bordered by the vast East China Sea to the east, the Golden Buddha Kingdom to the west, the Demon Realm to the south, and the extremely cold land to the north, with the continent located in the middle, which was what made it "Central".
If the Demon Realm and the Central Continent are placed perpendicularly, how can it be considered "central"?
Unless the other three locations are also three continents perpendicular to the Central Continent!
The Central Continent is surrounded by four other continents, hence the name "Central Continent"!
"There's no mistake, this is a technique only immortals can use," the Immortal Fairy concluded.
"Was this done by an anonymous person in High Antiquity?"
It must be him.
High Antiquity, nameless person refined stars into continents, not just one, but five!
The purpose of the nameless High Antiquity figures remains unknown.
Refining stars into continents sounds impressive, but in practice, it's fraught with difficulties and not something that can be done casually.
The elaborate process of refining the continent must have been for a specific purpose.
Lu Yang took a deep breath. The eldest senior sister had already anticipated this situation, which is why she said to ask the third senior sister if there were any questions.
The reason I didn't explain the situation on the mainland before setting off was probably because seeing it with my own eyes was far more impactful and the experience more profound than any verbal description.
"Most cultivators don't know that the stars in the sky have been refined, and I'm afraid very few people on the continent would know that they've been arranged in this way."
The two had met many high-level cultivators, none of whom mentioned the situation on the mainland, indicating that this situation would not have any impact.
"Forget it, don't think about it too much. We can't control the mainland, so let's not create trouble for ourselves," Meng Jingzhou said.
"That's true."
The two nodded and took a step forward at the same time, arriving on another continent.
There was also thick fog on the demon realm side, but as the two continued walking forward, the fog gradually dissipated.
We have officially arrived in the Demon Realm.
The second update will be at 11 PM.
