Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 391 - 402: Magical Beast Life and Death Forest
The vice hall master of the rival sect smiled and said, "The current situation in Canglan Ancient Land is extremely subtle. Several major sects have no major movements, while the Carefree Palace has always maintained a neutral position. However, because of its powerful influence, no sect dares to provoke it.
Among them, the Holy Sword Sect and Blood Evil Hall are as incompatible as water and fire. Whenever members of the two major sects meet, it results in a life-or-death confrontation, making them the most contradictory factions in Canglan Ancient Land.
Mist Rain Pavilion and Celestial Fragrance Pavilion are sworn enemies, and it is said that the two pavilion masters were once a deeply loving couple. For some unknown reason, they separated and each established their own forces. These two sects are exclusively male and exclusively female, which is quite interesting.
The other sects occasionally have minor conflicts but no real grudges. However, recently, due to the rise of the Dark Divine Teachings, the major sects vaguely sensed the seriousness of the situation, and some sects have started forming hidden alliances."
"Dark Divine Teachings? Just hearing the name, you know it’s nothing good. It seems Canglan Ancient Land is about to experience turbulent times," said Chu Linfeng.
"Lin Feng, what are your plans? Your current strength is still very low, and trying to seize the position of Green Frost Sect Master will be very difficult. I think you should stay in West King Hall until your strength grows, as the Spirit Medicine and Star Stones here are very abundant, fully meeting your cultivation needs," Elder Yuan said at this point.
"Elder Yuan, I will stay here for a while, but my friends will remain in the West King Hall. Following me can only make them a burden. In this world of strong cultivators, I really can’t protect them. Bringing them here in the first place might have been a mistake," Chu Linfeng said.
"Don’t worry about that. Whatever they need, we will provide. In West King Hall, no one dares to cause trouble," Elder Yuan said.
Upon arriving at the Canglan Ancient Land, Chu Linfeng’s desire for the Spiritual Pearl grew stronger, so he asked, "Do you know where I can find Spiritual Pearls? I need them to increase my strength."
"Spiritual Pearls? These are very rare treasures. We don’t have them at West King Hall, but I know there is a Wood Spirit Pearl in the Magic Beast Forest. However, no one has been able to obtain it. There is also a Gold Spirit Pearl in the hands of the Carefree Palace Master, which is very difficult to acquire," the vice hall master said at this moment.
Upon hearing the whereabouts of these two Spiritual Pearls, Chu Linfeng’s heart surged with excitement. No matter what, he must obtain these two Spiritual Pearls. Otherwise, in this Canglan Ancient Land, he will find it hard to make progress. However, obtaining these two pearls is truly challenging.
"Lin Feng, there is a Thunder Spirit Pearl in the Thunder Pool of the Divine Battlefield. However, even if you know its whereabouts, you cannot obtain it because you need at least the Fifth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm to enter the Thunder Pool. Even if you enter, there is no guarantee you can get it, as the Thunder Pool is filled with countless lightning bolts. I once went inside and almost died, it’s extremely terrifying," Elder Yuan said.
Chu Linfeng felt a bit unsettled. The Fifth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm is simply unapproachable for him. Whether he can even break through to the Saint Martial Realm is unknown, and restoring Sword Spirit’s body seems to be a distant goal.
"No worries, let’s take it one step at a time. Now, with the Netherworld entrance sealed, obtaining the Netherworld Purple Orchid is even more difficult. Getting the Wood Spirit Pearl and Gold Spirit Pearl is already good. Where is this Wood Spirit Pearl located?" Chu Linfeng asked helplessly.
"The Magic Beast Forest is actually filled with conflicts. The Four Great Royal Palaces have strained relations as well, with prevailing opposition. West King Hall and North King Hall are always at odds, and East King Hall and South King Hall are also on tense terms.
The North and South Halls have long since allied, while we, the East and West Halls, have not. It’s not that I don’t want to ally, but that dead bear from East King Hall thinks his strength is enough, so he doesn’t need an alliance, causing my West King Hall to always be on guard against the other two Hall’s actions," said the vice hall master.
Chu Linfeng seemed to understand the vice hall master’s words. It appears nowhere is a pure land; conflicts are everywhere. So, he asked, "Is the Wood Spirit Pearl located within the range of the North and South Halls?"
"Indeed, there is a very terrifying place in the Magic Beast Forest called the Life and Death Forest. Entering magical beasts face near certainty of death, though a few do come out. Those that do emerge find their strength greatly increased but, when asked for the reason, they themselves don’t know. The only thing they can say is that the interior is very strange. Upon entering, they become ordinary beings unable to use the Star Power within, yet upon exiting find their realms significantly improved.
Many magical beasts wish to increase their strength by entering this Life and Death Forest, but among the thousands that enter, only a few emerge, and of those that do, they become idiots. It’s exceedingly strange," said the vice hall master.
Chu Linfeng was also shocked upon hearing this. How can there be such a place in the world? "Then how is it known that there is a Wood Spirit Pearl inside?"
"Magical beasts that come out always mention ’Spiritual Pearl.’ There is a very rich Aura of Life inside the Life and Death Forest, which undoubtedly is due to the presence of a Wood Spirit Pearl. You want to obtain it? It’s extremely difficult, I think it’s best to give up. It’s too dangerous inside, a magical beast of Saint Martial Realm strength entered and didn’t come out. You can imagine what it’s like inside," said the vice hall master.
"Lin Feng, you shouldn’t be afraid. The Life and Death Forest should be a very powerful Illusion Realm. With me here, plus your formidable defense power, it should be fine. Perhaps, as they say, it can indeed increase your strength. This is a rare opportunity, you should seize it," Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly appeared in Chu Linfeng’s mind.
"Illusion Realm? Should we then have the Purple Demon Thunder Fox accompany us as well? I don’t know where she’s run off to, I haven’t seen her around," said Chu Linfeng.
"Yes, that little fox has a good understanding of Illusion Realms, so she can be brought along. She’s with Ouyang Qian, I don’t know how she managed that, but she can attach herself to her body, perhaps due to absorbing the Fiery Fire Spider’s essence," said Sword Spirit.
Chu Linfeng then spoke to Elder Yuan and the vice hall master, "I must enter the Life and Death Forest. You can be assured, I have confidence I can return. You should know who I am."
"This... Shouldn’t you reconsider? The Life and Death Forest is indeed very dangerous, what if something unfortunate happens?" Elder Yuan asked hurriedly.
"Yes, you carry a very important mission, and you shouldn’t take such risks. Perhaps it’s better if I go in instead," said the vice hall master.
"No need. Since I dare say this, I naturally have the confidence to do it. Look, what is this?" Chu Linfeng displayed his wrist.
PS: Readers have said the updates have decreased. Indeed, that’s because Xiao Xiao is stockpiling drafts. I’m sure everyone knows about limited-time free Chapters. Otherwise, when there are no drafts, it’ll be sad...
