Chapter 360 - A Realm Beyond the Realm (1/2)

Yi Qing brought Shen Ying a bit closer.

Lonemoon frowned, trying to suppress his anger. Awhile later, he said, “The purple gaseous clues are gone now. If we want to find it-”

“No!” Shen Ying interrupted.

“What?”

Lonemoon paused. Shen Ying suddenly handed the box containing the purple gas over. A thin line drifted out of the box. There it was again! This time, though, it was leaning toward the west.

“Holy shit! Why is it here again?”

“I don’t know.” Shen Ying tilted her head. “I just realised it was there.”

Lonemoon took the box and studied it closer. “Forget it, let’s try to search in the direction it’s leading us.”

Once he finished speaking, he followed the direction of the purple line. Yi Qing tried to catch up.

“Master, just now…” Yi Qing started saying, but realised that Shen Ying was looking in the direction of the Fertility and Marriage tree once again. She looked deep in thought. “Master? Master!”

“Yes?”

“But it seems inappropriate.”

Shen Ying faced Yi Qing. After pondering for a moment, she said, “Chef, don’t you think that-”

“I found it!” Lonemoon, who was in front of them, suddenly shouted. He looked at the box once more, then pointed below. “It’s right there!”

Indeed, the box containing the purple gas began to glow very faintly with purple light. It looked like something was pulling it downward.

The few of them landed. Surprisingly, it was a forest. All around them were tall, sturdy trees. It did not look like many people came here before. The moment they entered the forest, the light disappeared. Their surroundings became pitch black.

All three of them felt slightly surprised. Initially, they had found the purple gas in different dharma artifacts which resembled accessories. Naturally, they thought they would be led to other similar-looking artifacts. Yet, it did not look like this forest contained any similar-looking artifacts.

Lonemoon quickly used his divine perception to scan the forest, but he found nothing. Frowning, he asked, “Why can’t I find anything?” If the purple gas was correct, they should find something over here.

The three of them split up to look around.

“Father Niu, don’t you feel…” Yi Qing pointed to the trees around them. “Don’t you feel that these trees are all grown in quite unique positions?”

The trees!

It was then that Lonemoon realised the suspiciously tall trees all around them. On closer inspection, his eyes widened. “This is an array!”

Yi Qing’s and Lonemoon’s eyes twinkled with surprise. Arrays required some kind of force to sustain – spirit Qi, immortal Qi or demonic Qi would normally do the trick. Yet, this array looked like it was being supported by the natural trees. The roots of the trees were buried deep in the soil, where the immortal meridians flowed. Naturally, the array would be able to obtain some by seeking support from the trees. This was the reason this array was camouflaged so well. It would give outsiders the impression that this place was filled with immortal power. However, nobody would realise that there was an array standing right there.

This was the first time either of them was seeing an array like this. Indeed, the person who set it up was creative.

Lonemoon walked toward one of the trees and activated some immortal Qi. Using the immortal Qi’s force, he changed the flow of the array and broke it open.

At once, the dense forest shook before their eyes. As if curtains had just been opened, the forest disappeared. A majestic palace stood in its place.
