Chapter 601 Four Cloud Sections (1/2)

Jian Qingwu and Jian Qingling took the lead. Next, Jian Luobo and Jian Zhiqiu looked at each other before following them.

Qin Chuan and Qin Lian were about to follow them when a fragrant wind blew past them as Xie Hongyan and Luo Pianpian seemingly floated forward like the wind.

Qin Chuan’s steps paused for a moment and he threw a scornful grin at Chen Feng before entering the mists as well.

“Ha ha. Looks like the three of us will be in the rear,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“Staying in the rear is good. It is safer than being the vanguard.” Situ Nan laughed.

The mists in the outer areas of the Misty Mountains were incapable of affecting Chen Feng and the others, not by much. Thus, they were able to quickly cover an extended distance as they ventured into the mountains. Along the way, they did encounter other adventuring cultivators as well. However, the force that Chen Feng’s team possessed was simply too strong. Amongst the eleven of them, six were half-step Human Immortals.

Due to their line-up, the adventuring cultivators and even the yao beasts hiding in the dark, wanting to ambush the adventuring cultivators, ran away in fear. Either that or they simply crouched down meekly, fearing that these experts would kill and plunder them.

“Did you fellows see that? Those fellows are from Heavenly Sword Faction.”

“Naturally, I even recognize the two sisters, Jian Qingwu and Jian Qingling.”

“There are also the two Qin Family siblings, Qin Chuan and Qin Lian.”

“The others don’t look weak either.”

“They are all the experts from great sects and great families. I wonder, why did they form a team to enter the Misty Mountains? Are they here to hunt some yao beasts? I don’t think that’s the case.”

“Maybe they are here for Shadesoul Flowers and Misty Fruits?”

“Guys, stop making pointless conjectures. The Misty Mountains is one of most highly ranked danger zones in the Central Plains. It covers a vast area and contains countless treasures. Who knows just how many legacies and grotto-mansions of senior experts are left inside this place? Naturally, they are here for an adventure. Aren’t we doing the same thing now? All for the sake of obtaining something to help us advance further along in our path of cultivation.”

“Brother Sun’s words make sense. Rather than waste time guessing what others are doing here, we should just join up and check up the lake up ahead. I heard that someone found some Misty Fruits there last year.”

Chen Feng followed the team in a leisurely pace. Although he possessed a high level of strength, he did not let his guard down. Putting aside the fact that the Misty Mountains was famous as a danger zone, the fact that Jian Qingwu and Jian Qingling invited so many people here for this expedition informed him how dangerous this was. If the search for Immortal Cloudmist’s legacy was something without risk, the two sisters would have simply set off on their own. There would have been no need for them to look for partners and wait for them.

Chen Feng’s divine sense was released and an image of his surroundings appeared clearly within his mind. Not even the smallest insect hidden within the clouds could escape from Chen Feng’s senses.

Even though Chen Feng’s Soulflame had yet to transform into Lifebound Flame after the Lightning Tribulation, the power of his soul had risen to a terrifying level. After undergoing the tempering process from the Sky Lightning and fusing with the will of the world, Chen Feng’s soul power could easily perceive everything happening within a radius of several hundred li with just a casual scan.

Due to that, Chen Feng felt confident in his ability to notice any dangers beforehand.

There are quite a number of cultivators exploring this place. However, their cultivation bases are too weak. I wonder, will we encounter experts once we venture deeper inside? Chen Feng wondered.

After moving slightly farther ahead, Jian Qingwu took out the half-section Cloud Map. Her soul powers swept forward and the half-section Cloud Map suddenly spread out from her hand. At the same time, a faint, white light shone out, like a living creature.

Wave after wave of power spread out to envelop them all and the mists around them were all swept away.

Sensing the resulting energy fluctuations, the Blood Mustering Bead in Chen Feng’s body shook slightly, shocking Chen Feng somewhat.

“The half-section Cloud Map is actually a Dao artefact!” Chen Feng exclaimed.

“More accurately, it is part of a Dao artefact. This half-section Cloud Map is the key to entering the Cloudmist Dimension. By stirring the remnant spiritual consciousness left within this Cloud Map, I will be able to pinpoint the exact location of the Cloudmist Dimension,” Jian Qingwu said as she mobilized her soul power and sent it into the half-section Cloud Map. As expected, the dark clouds within the Cloud Map roiled and the image of a mountain range flashed upon the map, seemingly containing a small world inside.

As Jian Qingwu was stirring the Cloud Map to find the location of the Cloudmist Dimension, another group of cultivators had made their way deep into the Misty Mountains. There were eight of them in total. Every single one of them radiated a formidable aura, causing the thick mists around them to be pushed far away.

“According to the pointer, the Cloudmist Dimension is just up ahead.” The eyes of the one in the lead shone and he chortled as he looked ahead. He possessed a tall and mighty stature and his hair billowed about. His figure seemed brimming with power, like a volcano.

“I didn’t think that the Cloudmist Dimension would be hidden deep inside the Misty Mountains. This is a danger zone. We should hurry up and enter. Let’s get the items inside first,” a white-clad cultivator with sword-like eyebrows said solemnly.

“This Cloudmist Dimension will likely be dangerous as well. It will not be easy to get our hands on the treasures and legacies of Immortal Cloudmist.”

“Eh, hold up!” Suddenly, the face of the cultivator holding the Cloud Map flickered. The Cloud Map in his hand had suddenly quivered. Clearly, something had happened.

“Dongfang Ming, what happened?” the white-clad cultivator was quick to ask.

“As you all know, the entire Cloud Map is a Dao artefact. Later, it was split into four pieces. This piece in my hand is only one of the four pieces. Earlier, something happened to this Cloud Map. It responded to something 5,000 kilometres away. This means that someone is doing the same thing as us. They have obtained a piece of the Cloud Map and have come here. Though, they have yet to enter even the central area of the Misty Mountains,” Dongfang Ming said with a serious tone.

“Since someone is here, I suggest we wait here for them, kill them and seize their Cloud Map.” A young man in faint-cyan armour said, killing intent glinting across his eyes.

“That won’t do. If the other party is stronger than us, our actions will be the equivalent of ushering sheep into the mouth of a tiger.”

“Hey, stronger than us? If so, they will have to be at the Human Immortal stage. However, even if there are Human Immortals, they will be no match for us.”

“While that is true, we have already managed to take the lead in this matter. We’ll enter the legacy site first. When they arrive, it will be too late and all of the treasures and legacies inside will already be ours. Thus, there is no need for us to waste our time to fight them head on. Naturally, if you want to stay behind, we will not stop you, Qing Zhifeng,” a cultivator with sparkling blue eyes said smilingly.
