The Moon Mirror Cliff
One of the Four Supreme Planes, Infernal Realm!
A scythe-like, purple, cold moon hung in the night sky, radiating a hazy, eerie purple light that enveloped the boundless world below. ♞👣 Claw ♔🐺
"Boom!"
The dark waves crashed hysterically against the cliff that was tens of thousands of meters high, yet for hundreds of millions of years, no matter how the seawater of the Starry Fog Sea pounded against it, the cliff remained standing there just as it had for hundreds of millions of years.
This cliff, rising straight up as if cut by a knife, has a surface as smooth as a mirror. In the Infernal Realm, it is called Mirror Moon Cliff.
At the highest point of Mirror Moon Cliff stands an ancient castle constructed entirely of purple ore. The castle seems to have existed since time immemorial, yet a dreamlike light always shines from its interior.
In the center of the purple castle, the open ground is paved with ancient, earth-yellow stone, and is extremely smooth.
On this open ground, there were two giant magic circles, each a hundred meters in diameter, standing side by side. These magic circles were many times more complex than the teleportation magic circles in the Arctic Icefield. Beside these two giant magic circles, two burly men stood.
The two men wore purple close-fitting clothes underneath and purple robes embroidered with gold trim on top. They also had distinctive purple marks on their foreheads.
"Third Brother is really serious, never giving up any time to cultivate," the burly man in purple robes with short black hair laughed.
The purple-robed, silver-haired man beside him chuckled, "With Third Brother cultivating like this, it probably won't be long before he's able to take on the role of captain." As he spoke, the two of them glanced at a bald, purple-robed youth dressed similarly to them, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground not far away.
"Buzz~"
On the open ground, one of the giant magic circles once again emitted a hazy light, and then three figures appeared in the center of the distorted magic circle. After the hazy light disappeared, the three figures became clearly visible. Standing in the middle was a young man wearing a sky-blue robe, flanked by a beautiful woman with long golden hair and a quirky and handsome boy wearing a straw hat.
The three of them looked around with great curiosity.
"Oh!" The burly man with black hair and purple robes laughed heartily. "How rare! The three who have come to the Infernal Realm this time have all reached the god level. And they're all Midgod. They're quite clever to come before reaching the Saint Realm, haha."
"Coming to the Infernal Realm with the Saint Realm strength? That's idiotic," the silver-haired, purple-robed man sneered.
The purple-robed, bald youth who had been meditating cross-legged stood up. This purple-robed, bald youth had a pair of cold, silver eyes. He walked over directly and said calmly, "Welcome to the world of the strong, Infernal Realm!" His hoarse voice echoed in the open space.
The three people who were teleported here were Lin Feng, Dilia, and Beibei.
"The Zijing Army?" Lin Feng curiously sized up the bald youth. Upon seeing the man's attire and the distinctive purple mark on his forehead, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh and cry as he realized that he had once again been controlled by Fate and had been teleported to Mirror Moon Cliff, the only teleportation array for the Zijing in the Infernal Realm.
Lin Feng was speechless. Although the Lin Feng in the original book also came to the Infernal Realm this year, it shouldn't be like him, being teleported to this Zijing. After all, there are seven teleportation arrays in the Infernal Realm, and each person teleported to the Infernal Realm is randomly teleported to one of them.
"Whether it's Fate playing tricks or luck, being teleported to Zijing is fine, at least it's closer to the Zijing Mountain Range." Lin Feng quickly accepted the fact and stopped dwelling on the unpredictable Fate.
At this moment, Beibei exclaimed with delight, "Wow, a handsome guy in purple robes! Is this Infernal Realm? Wow, the elemental aura is so strong! And there are so many powerful beings here! Look at those, those six-horned creatures, I've never seen anything like them before!"
Upon hearing Beibei's description, Lin Feng also noticed that besides the three purple-robed figures, there were dozens of creatures of various appearances on the edge of the open space. Nearly half of them were human-like, while the majority of the others had all sorts of strange appearances.
The bald man in the purple robe stared at Beibei with his cold purple eyes. "Shut up!"
Beibei was taken aback.
"I'll only say this once, so listen carefully, or you'll have no one to blame but yourself for being killed." The bald man in the purple robe spoke in a hoarse voice, seemingly without inflection.
Seeing Beibei being scolded, Lin Feng frowned. He was, after all, a Seven-Star Fiend, and naturally wouldn't be subservient to others. It wouldn't be in his nature for him to remain silent when his brother was being reprimanded.
Of course, Lin Feng was aware of the authority of the Zijing Army in Zijing, so he wouldn't be foolish enough to confront them head-on. Instead, he said calmly, "Sorry, my brother is here in the Infernal Realm for the first time, so he spoke a bit bluntly. I know the Zijing Army is very busy, so the three of us won't bother you any longer."
After saying this, Lin Feng ignored the bald youth's reaction and left with the puzzled Beibei and Dilia. Lin Feng had no interest in hearing what the purple-robed bald man was about to say.
"This kid is so arrogant. He's only Midgod, yet he dares to speak to our third brother like that. Does he have a death wish?" The burly man with black hair and purple robes was clearly surprised that Lin Feng spoke to their third brother in such a "rude" tone.
The silver-haired man in purple robes said, "Judging from the words spoken by that Midgod, this shouldn't be his first time in the Infernal Realm. The fact that he knows we are the Zijing Army suggests he might be from another Supreme Plane or Divine Plane."
"How could that be? They're just Midgod. You have to understand that even the teleportation fees between the Divine Plane Supreme Plane are not something a Midgod can afford, let alone three Midgod in their group," the black-haired, purple-robed burly man sneered.
"You never know, maybe they're scions of some powerful family, just visiting Infernal Realm," said the silver-haired man in purple robes.
"When members of prominent families go out to play, wouldn't they be accompanied and protected by Highgod?" the burly man with black hair and purple robe retorted.
"Alright, who cares about their identities? Since they don't need our Zijing Army's escort, their deaths are none of our business," the bald man in purple robes said coldly. After speaking, the bald man in purple robes returned to the corner and sat down cross-legged with his eyes closed.
The other two men in purple robes exchanged a glance and then fell silent.
By this time, Lin Feng and his two companions had already left Mirror Moon Cliff.
"Lin Feng, you just said they were the Zijing Army? What is the Zijing Army?" Dilia asked curiously.
Beibei's mischievous eyes also looked curiously at Lin Feng.
"Let me first give you a brief overview of the situation in the Infernal Realm," Lin Feng said. "Infernal Realm mainly consists of five vast, almost boundless regions: Zijing, Kaluosha, Muya, Blood Peak, and Bifu. Our target this time is Blood Peak's Youlan Prefecture!"
Although Beibei and Dilia were puzzled as to how Lin Feng knew so much, they did not interrupt him.
"Of the five, the Zijing in the north and the Kaluosha in the west are already connected to the edge of the plane. That is to say, the northern end of the Zijing is the edge of the plane, and the western end of the Kaluosha is also the edge of the plane."
"Besides these five areas, the rest of the region is sea. The five areas almost form a ring, within which lies the vast Starry Fog Sea. The Starry Fog Sea is extremely vast, far exceeding the area of any one of the five areas. The Starry Fog Sea is considered the inner sea, while the outer sea, which is the outer region of the five areas, is mainly located to the south and east of the ring formed by the five areas. This outer sea is called the Sea of Chaos. The Sea of Chaos is the most expansive!"
"Of course, the vastness of the Infernal Realm is unimaginable. These five continents and two oceans are all incredibly expansive, and many powerful individuals spend their entire lives confined to just one of them. The place we are currently in is called the Zijing!"
"Boss, since this Zijing is so big, and there's a Starry Fog Sea separating it from Blood Peak, how are we going to get to Youlan Prefecture?" Beibei couldn't help but ask.
Lin Feng looked at Beibei and laughed, "Even the biggest place has its limits. It would take a hundred or two hundred years to fly there."
"A hundred and eighty years?" Dilia exclaimed, and Beibei's eyes widened as well. "It will take that long?"
"Perhaps it's more than that." Lin Feng looked at Dilia and Beibei. "Infernal Realm is fraught with danger. Bandits gather in most mountains and swamps, and they're mostly composed of god-level experts. Without overwhelming strength, it's impossible to safely traverse the Starry Fog Sea from Zijing to Blood Peak. If we weren't so close to Mirror Moon Cliff, with the Zijing Army stationed here, we'd probably already be under attack by bandits."
"A god-level expert becoming a bandit?" Beibei asked incredulously.
"Who says a god-level expert can't be a bandit?" Lin Feng retorted. Seeing that Beibei had nothing to say, Lin Feng continued, "Although god-level experts are high and mighty beings in the Material Plane, in this Infernal Realm where powerful beings are as numerous as clouds, they are just like mortals in the Material Plane, and can be seen everywhere."
"The weakest beings in the Infernal Realm are all at the Saint Realm, and those Lowgod are only slightly better off than these pitiful Saint Realm. However, their survival is still precarious, and they are also the most numerous group in bandit gangs. Of course, the leaders of bandit gangs are usually Midgod, or even Highgod."
"Infernal Realm is so dangerous." Beibei touched his nose and said, "If that's the case, do all the Lowgod and Midgod who come to the Infernal Realm become bandits?"
"Of course not," Lin Feng laughed. "Every god-level powerhouse or Saint Realm expert who comes to the Infernal Realm from the Material Plane is randomly sent to a location by the army stationed there and then thrown down there. These newcomers to the Infernal Realm are also informed about the general situation and dangers of the Infernal Realm, and they usually find a tribe or family to join. Of course, Saint Realm are not qualified to join tribes or families; even bandit gangs disdain to recruit these weak Saint Realm. So, Saint Realm are pitiful creatures in the Infernal Realm."
"Then wouldn't those people from the Saint Realm who come to the Infernal Realm die very easily?" Dilia asked.
"That's not entirely true. Precisely because they are so weak, like ants in the Infernal Realm, most god-level experts disdain to bother with these weak Saint Realm. Even bandits wouldn't dare to rob these Saint Realm that have nothing to offer. Under such neglect, as long as they learn to keep a low profile and find a place to cultivate diligently, they won't face any danger to their lives."
"Luckily, I came to the Infernal Realm without Saint Realm," Beibei said thankfully. "Even though I'm a rat, I don't want to be an ant that everyone ignores."
"Even if you wanted to come, Lord Beirut wouldn't allow you to come from the Saint Realm," Lin Feng said with a smile.
In the Infernal Realm, Lin Feng and his companions' route will differ significantly from the original story.
Moreover, although Lin Feng has arrived in the Infernal Realm, his Wind Divine Clone is still in the Yulan Plane, so the plot will develop along two parallel storylines: Infernal Realm and Yulan.
Later, Lin Feng's Divine Clone may also go to other Supreme Plane or Divine Plane.
