Ten days passed in Heavenly Abundance City for Lin Heng.
That day, Lin Heng had just performed a soul guidance for Liu Ling'er and sensed that his mother's soul realm had reached the Supreme Saint Great Perfection. Lin Heng was overjoyed.
From now on, it will be up to the mother herself to break through to the Nirvana Realm of the soul; there is no way to rely on external forces.
However, Liu Ling'er witnessed Lin Heng's breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm up close and should have gained some insights, so it shouldn't be too difficult for her.
The two had just finished their cultivation and stepped out of the house when Situ Jiannan ran over with a joyful expression.
"Master, the information you asked me to gather has yielded some results."
As soon as Situ Jiannan finished speaking, Lin Heng and Liu Ling'er both smiled.
Situ Jiannan didn't waste any time and directly told him the information he had gathered.
Over the past ten days, he has used all his connections and finally discovered that a Ascenders has just arrived in the Longevity Realm has appeared in the Night Heaven Region.
This woman was extremely fierce. She encountered a group of Spirit-Hunting Bandits outside the city and killed them all. After learning that the Spirit-Hunting Bandits were colluding with the city lord of Heavenly Capital City in the Night Heaven Region, she single-handedly stormed into Heavenly Capital City. More than a thousand people in the city lord's mansion were wiped out, and none of them survived.
Heavenly Capital City is connected to a force in the Ninefold Heaven. Now, that force has directly contacted the city lords of several nearby cities, ordering them to surround and kill the female Ascenders.
Despite the combined strength of the four city lords, they still couldn't capture the female Ascenders, and were even killed by her after she fled.
According to the information Situ Jiannan gathered, the female Ascenders was pursued after breaking through the encirclement and now seems to have fled into the territory of the Devil Race race, the Blood Baleful Intent Region.
Lin Heng frowned upon hearing this; it was hardly good news, especially since Situ Jiannan mentioned that the female Ascenders had been chased and fled to the Devil Race realm.
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Heng asked, "What is the overall strength of the Blood Baleful Intent Region? If we escape to the Devil Race's territory, Human Race cultivators shouldn't easily enter and hunt us down, right?"
Situ Jiannan said helplessly, "I'm not entirely clear on the specifics of the Blood Baleful Intent Region yet, but there are definitely Nirvana Realm cultivators there. Human Race cultivators certainly won't enter the Devil Race's territory casually, because the Devil Race hates Human Race very much. That female Ascenders would probably have an even harder time escaping to the Devil Race's territory than she would have in the Night Heaven Region."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ling'er's heart clenched. " Heng'er, let's set off quickly. Regardless of whether that person is one of Linglong's or not, we must get there as soon as possible."
Lin Heng understood this as well. From Situ Jiannan's words, it was clear that the female Ascenders was in constant danger of losing her life if she entered the Devil Race territory.
" Situ Jiannan, if we set off now, how long will it take us to reach the Blood Baleful Intent Region?"
Lin Heng asked.
After thinking for a moment, Situ Jiannan replied, "With the cultivation level of Supreme Saint, it would take about a hundred days to travel there by flying."
Lin Heng immediately rejected the plan. A hundred days was such a long time; by the time they reached the Blood Baleful Intent Region, they would probably be collecting the corpse of that female Ascenders.
"No, that's taking too long. Are there any other options?"
Lin Heng's words this time were clearly tinged with anxiety.
Situ Jiannan offered another solution. "There's another way, though it's more dangerous. We can go through the Chaotic Sand Sea, which will save us from taking a detour and at least half the time."
When Situ Jiannan presented this plan, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes, and he even spoke through gritted teeth.
What kind of place is the " Chaotic Sand Sea "?
Lin Heng asked curiously.
Situ Jiannan sighed and offered an explanation.
The Chaotic Sand Sea is a dangerous place among the Ten Regions of the Longevity Realm, inhabited by a native branch of the Demon Race of the Longevity Realm.
However, due to the extremely violent Source Power within the Chaotic Sand Sea, ordinary cultivators were unable to enter and cultivate there. Even those who were not born in the Chaotic Sand Sea, despite being of the same Demon Race, could not adapt to the violent Source Power there. Over time, no one paid any more attention to that place.
As for where the infamous reputation of the Chaotic Sand Sea comes from, it goes back to a long time ago, when the Eight Great Imperial Clans hunted down the Ascenders.
On that occasion, a large army of over a hundred powerful individuals from the Eight Great Imperial Clans entered the Chaotic Sand Sea in pursuit, including many Nirvana Realm cultivators. However, in the end, only one person escaped with serious injuries.
From then on, no one was willing to step into the Chaotic Sand Sea again.
Furthermore, the Chaotic Sand Sea serves as a boundary between the Human Race and Devil Race territories, and cultivators from both sides rarely venture into each other's domains, making it a place that is almost forgotten.
If Lin Heng hadn't been in a hurry, Situ Jiannan really wouldn't have been willing to reveal this place.
But after explaining, Situ Jiannan added, "Master, you should think carefully before entering the Chaotic Sand Sea."
Lin Heng did not blame Situ Jiannan for talking too much. After all, of the hundreds of members from the Eight Great Imperial Clans who went in, only one survived. The three of them were far weaker than the original hunting team. To describe their fate as a near-death experience would be too optimistic.
Lin Heng pondered for a while, and after about ten breaths, he finally spoke, "Let's go to the Chaotic Sand Sea."
Lin Heng dared to make this decision because he was confident in his abilities.
He planned to first put Liu Ling'er and Situ Jiannan away, and then travel alone through the Chaotic Sand Sea, which would greatly reduce the level of danger.
Seeing Lin Heng's decision, neither Situ Jiannan Liu Ling'er said anything more.
Lin Heng then asked Situ Jiannan, "What will happen to Heavenly Abundance City after you leave? Will the Ninefold Heaven find out?"
Lin Heng doesn't want the Ninefold Heaven to pay too much attention to him right now. One Blood Demon Sect is enough. If several other forces notice him, it will be a big problem.
"Don't worry about that, Master. I've already made arrangements in advance. One of my subordinates will temporarily take over the position of city lord to handle my daily affairs. As for the Ninefold Heaven, they generally won't contact me unless something major happens. It's normal to not hear from them for a hundred thousand years."
After hearing Situ Jiannan's words, Lin Heng nodded.
The three did not linger in Heavenly Abundance City. After Situ Jiannan gave them some instructions, they set off directly towards the Chaotic Sand Sea.
On the way, Lin Heng also asked Situ Jiannan if there was any news of other Ascenders in the Ten Regions recently.
Unfortunately, Situ Jiannan has not yet found out.
However, he had already given instructions and spent a lot of money. Anyone who had a relationship with him would contact him immediately if they found out any news about the Ascenders.
Although Lin Heng and Liu Ling'er felt helpless, there was nothing they could do; at least they now had a direction.
Now, all they can do is wait and find that Ascenders in the Blood Baleful Intent Region to see if he is one of the three women. As for the other one, they can only wait for Situ Jiannan's intelligence network to provide information.
