After searching for the traces of Bai Mao’er for a long time, Lin Jiufeng found nothing. But unexpectedly, he gained information of her whereabouts by signing in before the Mountain Sea Realm. This made him sigh. Even when there was no solution to a problem, there would always still exist hope.
“Where exactly did she go?” Lin Jiufeng couldn’t wait to check.
A map appeared in his mind. There were traces of a very cute cat walking on the map.
This cat started from the old imperial capital. When Lin Jiufeng died in battle in the mortal realm, Bai Mao’er left the imperial capital and began her journey.
Lin Jiufeng clearly saw that she had headed to the new imperial capital after leaving the old imperial capital. But she didn’t stay inside for long. After wandering around, she discovered that the new imperial capital didn’t have anything that she was familiar with. It had become completely unfamiliar. Even with Emperor De and Princess Yulin around, her feelings for them were also placed on Lin Jiufeng. Without Lin Jiufeng, the Bai Mao’er ignored them indifferently.
Hence, she didn’t stop in the new imperial capital. She only familiarized herself with the place and began her own journey.
Just as Lin Jiufeng thought, after leaving the new imperial capital, Bai Mao’er headed for the Mountain Sea Realm, which was where he was now.
Bai Mao’er had stayed in the Mountain Sea Realm for a relatively long time. Her footprints had circled the entire Mountain Sea Realm. Here, she had beautiful memories with Lin Jiufeng, second only to the Cold Palace.
But after she circled around the Mountain Sea Realm, she ultimately didn’t stay here quietly. She turned around and left the Mountain Sea Realm.
“Where can you go after leaving the Mountain Sea Realm?” Lin Jiufeng was quite curious. It had been more than a thousand years since Bai Mao’er descended to this world. She had experienced two relatively familiar people. One was the Demon Lord who cared about her very much, and the other was Lin Jiufeng.
These two were the two people who treated Bai Mao’er the best in the world. The Demon Lord had already died more than a thousand years ago, so the only person she really cared about was Lin Jiufeng.
On the map, after Bai Mao’er left the Mountain Sea Realm, she headed for a huge mountain.
It was in the Western Region. It was surrounded by mountains, and the terrain was steep. Amidst the tall mountains, venomous insects and ferocious beasts ran amok, and a foul smell filled the air.
A large area of the Western Region was an uninhabited area because the dense forest naturally blocked the pace of humans entering. Even for the Monster Race that was inside, they didn’t have a systematic reproduction.
Hence, very few people truly understood the mountains of the Western Region.
“Why did she go there?” Lin Jiufeng was curious.
Lin Jiufeng closed his eyes and continued to look at the map. He discovered that Bai Mao’er had stopped for a considerable period of time in the mountains of the Western Region.
She even stayed for a much longer time than the new imperial capital and the Mountain Sea Realm combined.
After staying there for a long time, Bai Mao’er still disappeared in the end.
He didn’t see her whereabouts on the map after that.
“It seems that I have to make a trip to the mountains that I have yet to set foot in.” Lin Jiufeng murmured softly. His gaze looked into the distance, as if he could see through space and closed the countless distance between them. He directly stared at the tall mountains.
Bai Mao’er might be there.
Lin Jiufeng stretched out his hand and drew a line. The space shook and directly shattered, revealing a passageway. On the other side of the passageway were the high mountains of the Western Region.
Lin Jiufeng walked in.
In the very next moment, he descended into a huge mountain range.
The dense forest was lush and filled with huge ancient vines. The humidity in this forest was very high, and venomous insects and ferocious beasts were everywhere in Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual perception.
This area was vast and sparsely populated. There was very little area suitable for humans to live in.
Only the Ancient Yi people had settled here since ancient times.
Moreover, the area they lived in was only far away from the venomous creatures and ferocious beasts, far away from the area where the demonic beasts thrived.
Hence, they actually didn’t know much about what was in the depths of the mountain.
Lin Jiufeng had read many books regarding the mortal realm in the early years. They also involved the boundless mountains and ravines.
“There was once a cultivator who explored this place, but he returned with no results. He only left behind a legend that there was a huge secret hidden among the mountains and ravines. Later on, people searched for the footsteps of this cultivator and continued to explore. But even after thousands of years, the secret in this mountain range was never discovered by anyone. Later on, people thought that this was fake and gradually lost their interest in this mountain range.” Lin Jiufeng recalled the contents of the books that he had once read.
There were once people who wanted to develop and occupy this huge mountain range. They wanted to establish their own sects and factions here.
But the poisonous gas, miasma, and the magical magnetic field environment in this mountain range were too harsh for cultivators.
Before the spiritual energy in the mortal realm recovered, when the most powerful person in the mortal realm was only a Martial Sage, no one could do anything about this huge mountain range.
The natural poisonous gas and miasma in this mountain range were the best barrier, protecting them from being occupied by humans.
As time passed, after the recovery of spiritual energy began, the speed of cultivation increased by leaps and bounds. Martial Sages were no longer the strongest peak combat power. With the arrival of immortals, this huge mountain range might become occupied.
Lin Jiufeng scanned this huge mountain range with his spiritual consciousness. Under the envelopment of his spiritual consciousness, this huge mountain range had nowhere to hide.
“It has been almost 200 years since the recovery of spiritual energy. This mountain range that has yet to be stepped into has actually not been occupied by any faction. This is a little unexpected,” Lin Jiufeng said in surprise.
Under the perception of his spiritual consciousness, every blade of grass and tree here was incomparably clear. He didn’t find any traces of Bai Mao’er here.
“There’s no one and no Bai Mao’er here?” Lin Jiufeng frowned. He walked into this huge forest and passed by the poisonous fog. He was calm and composed. In the end, he walked to the place where Bai Mao’er stayed at.
“This is the place, but where’s Bai Mao’er?” Lin Jiufeng looked around at the huge mountain range, the trees that blotted out the sky, the thick vines, the exquisite poisonous worms, and the blooming poisonous flowers. This place seemed quiet and dangerous.
“Since the map managed to trace Bai Mao’er’s whereabouts, this place should be where she appeared last on the map, but there’s nothing here.” Lin Jiufeng was puzzled.
He seriously used his huge spirit consciousness to search the surroundings, frantically scanning every inch of land.
With his strength at the ninth heaven of the Immortal King Realm and his already huge spiritual consciousness, he really found something different in this dense forest.
At this moment, the world was pitch-black. Lin Jiufeng discovered that at the place where Bai Mao’er’s traces disappeared, the dimension of the space was a little different.
“There’s another world here!” Lin Jiufeng went from being puzzled to surprised to resolute. In the end, he was very certain.
A new world appeared in the dark forest.
“Since I’ve discovered you, you can’t hide anymore.” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes were firm. He stretched out his hand as if he was unveiling a painting in the air. With a gentle pull, a piece of space was pulled down.
Then, a World Door stood tall in front of Lin Jiufeng.
This door was mysterious and unfathomable. It was entirely black, but there were countless sword scars carved on it. The scars carried a strong sense of sharpness. Staring at this World Door, Lin Jiufeng seemed to feel countless swordsmen attacking him.
“Where exactly does this door lead to?”
“Is it a new world?”
“And it’s even a Small World that’s attached to the mortal realm?”
Lin Jiufeng looked at this door. Thousands of thoughts ran through his mind, and questions appeared one after another.
But nothing gave him an answer. He needed to find the answer himself.
“The answer is behind this door. I need to go in and take a look,” Lin Jiufeng said softly.
No matter what, since he had come here and didn’t find any traces of Bai Mao’er, Lin Jiufeng had to take a look no matter where the door led to.
“Now is not the time for the Seven Races of the Ancient Age to invade yet. I need to hurry up and find Bai Mao’er, and explore this new world.” Lin Jiufeng didn’t hesitate anymore. He walked towards the World Door and looked at the dark door. He stretched out his hand and pushed. With his strength at the ninth heaven of the Immortal King Realm, this door was easily opened.
Pushing open the door of the world, Lin Jiufeng was the person standing behind the door.
Lin Jiufeng raised his eyes and looked at the newly born world. Countless sharp auras surged out from inside. These auras were tough and durable. Lin Jiufeng was relatively familiar with them. These were sword energies.
Although he had yet to step foot in this unfamiliar world, Lin Jiufeng’s divine soul scan had already expanded.
Behind the door of the world was a huge mountain range.
This wasn’t a complete world. This was just a severed Small World.
What exactly was inside?
Lin Jiufeng decided not to think anymore. He stepped into this world.
The light before his eyes suddenly lit up.
This world had a huge mountain range. There was a huge valley in the mountain range here, and this valley was the center of this Small World.
Wherever Lin Jiufeng’s gaze landed, swords were inserted everywhere in this mountain range.
“This used to be the sea of the path of the Sword.” Lin Jiufeng was quite certain.
These swords had been here for a very long time. As Lin Jiufeng walked into this mysterious Small World, he reached out and picked up a sword that was inserted into a stone. With a flick of his finger, he didn’t use any strength, but this sword broke inch by inch.
It was obvious that the sword had been inserted here for at least 10,000 years.
As he continued to walk in this newly discovered world, Lin Jiufeng didn’t discover any traces of anyone.
This place was like a dead mountain range with countless swords.
Lin Jiufeng walked to the valley in the center. He saw extended buildings, pavilions, snowfalls, and a long chain bridge.
But there was no one here. It was empty.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Just as Lin Jiufeng was looking around, the sound of air being torn apart came from the huge valley.
Then, shocking sword lights that were incomparably terrifying connected the sky and the earth. The endless killing intent made Lin Jiufeng, who had the strength of the ninth heaven of the Immortal King Realm, change his expression.
The endless sword energies rushed over. Lin Jiufeng’s speed was very fast. Although he dodged the sword lights that rushed into the sky, he was still shocked by the invisible killing intent. His blood energy surged, and his face turned red as he said in surprise, “This is definitely a terrifying sword energy at the Immortal Emperor Realm. It’s far stronger than the Immortal Emperors I’ve seen!”
Lin Jiufeng was very surprised. There was actually such powerful sword energy in this Small World that was considered small in size?
What kind of existence was this place in the past?
Who left these sword energies behind?
