Slaying the Demon (Third Update)

The wolf-like scream abruptly ceased. Judging from where it had come from, a group of demons had left not long ago. They seemed to have just crossed the long bridge and gone deep into the hazy silhouette.

Meng Qi and the others instinctively moved closer in that direction, quickening their steps. But as they ran, they all tacitly slowed down again. The situation ahead was unclear, and they had no idea what they had encountered. If they charged in recklessly, the Great Peng Demon King would be a lesson from the past. It was better to be cautious and observe first before deciding how to act. In any case, it was not their own companions who had run into danger.

Though the Heavenly River Cloud Bridge was long, it eventually came to an end. Before long, Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others saw an area resembling a wonderland. Trees flourished luxuriantly, pavilions showed between them, and Pure Qi rose and drifted unpredictably. Farther away, the void had taken on a chaotic color, as if this fragment of the Heavenly Court had "folded" from there onward.

"The core object should be here..." Meng Qi withdrew his gaze and first examined what lay before him. At the end of the cloud bridge was a sparse forest. Every tree was several people's arm spans around, its crown spreading like a roof and blocking the Clear Light. Beneath them were no thorns, shrubs, flowers, or things like spirit mushrooms and celestial fungi.

To enter the wonderland, one had to pass through this forest, unless one flew directly over it.

Seeing this, Meng Qi could not help thinking, These are all enormous celestial trees. If I brought one back, I could probably trade it for quite a few Merit Points...
