Lin Heng followed Chu Duanhun for two days and one night, finally arriving at their destination.
Stepping onto land, Lin Heng was greeted by a vast island shrouded in a hazy, gray atmosphere.
The dense, vast forest, shrouded in gray gas, evokes an extremely oppressive feeling.
In the very heart of the forest stands a colossal building that soars into the clouds.
The scene before him gave Lin Heng the feeling of being in the deepest hell.
Lin Heng was still observing when Chu Duanhun's voice came over.
"This is the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain."
Remember, the coastline is the only safe place.
"If you want to save your life, you can stay on the shore for the rest of your life."
"But if you want to leave the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain, you must enter the forest."
"Only by traversing the dense forest ahead, reaching the Senluo Hall, and using the teleportation array on the top floor can we leave."
"As for the way we came, without the token, you will be attacked by the formation as soon as you step off the island."
Lin Heng did not show much reaction to this.
Since he came with Chu Duanhun, he must have prepared for the worst.
Seeing that Lin Heng had no questions, Chu Duanhun, who was always cold, said nothing more and then turned and left.
After Chu Duanhun left, Lin Heng walked forward.
Having reached the edge of the forest, Lin Heng did not rush in.
Even while still standing outside the forest, he could already feel an intense, extremely cold aura.
This is the combined aura of the Earth Yin Origin and the Nine Netherworlds Origin.
Moreover, the sounds of ghostly wails and howls would occasionally drift from the forest, causing one to feel uneasy and disturbed.
Lin Heng also chose to first use telepathy to inquire about Dijiang's information regarding this place.
" Dijiang, I have arrived at the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain. Before me lies a forest."
Without Lin Heng needing to say more, Dijiang already understood upon hearing this.
Then he began to tell Lin Heng about the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain.
I learned this from Dijiang.
From the outside, the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain appears to be just a relatively large island.
But once they entered the Mist Forest before Lin Heng's eyes...
It was an endless space inside.
The Mist Forest is home to all sorts of vengeful spirits and ghosts.
Furthermore, there are illusion arrays that will gradually make you lose your way within the grand formation.
Back when Mu Chen ventured into the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain.
I have seen many monks who have suffered mental breakdowns in the Mist Forest.
These people are trapped in the Mist Forest and cannot get out.
During this time, he was also tormented by evil spirits and illusions.
Ultimately, this led to his Divine Power failing him, and he embarked on a path of self-destruction.
As for the magnificent building in the center of the Mist Forest...
That is the Netherworld Purgatory Tower.
It was said to be to temper the cultivators sent to the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain.
But that place was nothing short of hell.
At this point, Dijiang couldn't help but complain about Dasiwoba.
This guy is a heretical cultivator.
In the early days, he was a cultivator who was half god, half demon, half Buddha, and half ghost.
This also led to Dasiwoba's extremely twisted mind.
No one can guess what he's thinking.
The word "madman" is most fitting to describe him.
Over the years, he has tortured and killed quite a few cultivators in the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain under the guise of testing them.
One of his greatest pleasures was watching these cultivators being tortured in the Death Space he created using the Mystic Light Mirror.
Finally, Dijiang revealed a secret.
Master, you must be careful.
" Dasiwoba once challenged his old master."
"But he was severely injured by his old master's palm strike."
"All the other lords from Four Seas were present to witness this event."
To call it a witness is actually a euphemism used by Dijiang.
The implication is simply that Hongjun and the others had personally witnessed Dasiwoba being severely injured by Mu Chen's palm strike.
Lin Heng's expression instantly turned somewhat strange.
Doesn't this mean that Dasiwoba harbors deep hatred for Mu Chen?
Now that Mu Chen is gone, Dasiwoba will most likely hold him accountable for this.
Lin Heng couldn't help but ask Dijiang a question.
"You recommended that I come to the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain."
"Could this also be to make my test more difficult?"
Why didn't we talk about the feud between Mu Chen and Dasiwoba earlier?
They only say it after they've already arrived.
If Dijiang didn't have some ulterior motives, would Lin Heng believe him?
Faced with Lin Heng's questioning, Dijiang did not refute it, but simply chuckled and said:
There is essentially no difference between speaking out and not speaking out.
"Even if the master knew beforehand, this is where the old master underwent trials, and it was also the most difficult place to be tested."
Will the master consider undergoing trials in other Archaic Land?
This rhetorical question made Lin Heng shake his head helplessly.
Indeed, even if he had known beforehand, it wouldn't have changed the outcome of his trip to the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain.
After the casual conversation, Dijiang got down to business.
"Master can thoroughly explore and comprehend these teachings within the Mist Forest and the Netherworld Purgatory Tower."
"This is actually the universe of Dasiwoba."
"Master will be able to pass the test of the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain."
"It will also bring immense benefits to oneself."
This piqued Lin Heng's interest.
Dasiwoba moved his universe here, thus creating the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain?
Who knows, undergoing trials here might significantly enhance the formation of Lin Heng Universe.
With that in mind, Lin Heng no longer hesitated and stepped directly into the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Domain.
The moment Lin Heng stepped in, the surrounding scenery instantly changed.
The coastline behind us disappeared.
The trees that were originally only a dozen meters tall have now grown into towering trees.
Within this tall and dense forest, ninety percent of the light was blocked.
A dark space creates a sense of visual tension.
Lin Heng was still looking around.
But suddenly, a series of chilling voices rang in his ears.
"Give me back my life... give me back my life..."
"Heh heh, another fool who doesn't know his own limits has arrived."
"What a handsome young man! Come in quickly, we sisters are all waiting for you!"
The mournful sounds that rose and fell had no effect on Lin Heng in the slightest.
However, what surprised Lin Heng was...
Within this Mist Forest, his soul power was suppressed and rendered unusable.
Unable to use soul power, one naturally cannot discern whether the other party is human or ghost.
You should know that in this Mist Forest, besides those vengeful spirits, there are also cultivators who have been sent there to undergo trials.
If it's impossible to tell, then rashly taking action could very well kill other cultivators trapped here.
Dasiwoba's rule is indeed vicious.
The monks undergoing trials were killing each other in the Mist Forest, while he sat in the palace watching the spectacle.
"This is getting more and more interesting."
Lin Heng smiled. He had gained a preliminary understanding of Dasiwoba's madness, as described by Dijiang.
Lin Heng also wanted to see just how crazy this madman could be.
