Chapter 256 - 256 Arriving at the Netherspirit forest

Liu Mei"s eyes widened when she heard Shun Long"s words.

Since Shun Long had already told her a few things about the "Dragon Lord"s villa", Liu Mei already knew, that that was probably the most dangerous place in the entire "Night star continent".

Seeing the shocked look on Liu Mei"s face, Shun Long smiled lightly as he continued

""We are only going to have a look. I don"t plan to enter in there just yet.""

Indeed, with all the rumors going around about how scary of a place the "Dragon Lord"s villa" was, and considering that Cui Guoliang and his wife who were both Dao Kings are also trapped in there, Shun Long entering inside would be suicide.

Liu Mei heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Shun Long"s words.

Although she knew that he wasn"t too reckless, she was still afraid that his curiosity would cause him to wish to explore the villa in the end.

Shun Long didn"t head to the villa right away though, and closing his eyes, he sent his spirit sense in the "Stone of Time".

Inside the foggy place, the black panther still had his eyes closed, while powerful energy fluctuations were coming from his body.

Little Black"s blue eyes observed the panther whose aura was rising with every pa.s.sing moment, and soon, it had already reached the absolute peak of rank 5.

More and more energy was being gathered in the panther"s body, while its silver wings were now shining with a bright silver l.u.s.ter.

Closing his eyes, Shun Long"s spirit sense returned back in his body, before he waved his hand and a beast skin along with a white scroll appeared in his hands.

The beast skin was Cui Guoliang"s map that showed the location of the "Dragon Lord"s villa", while the white scroll was the map that Shun Long had purchased from the shop at the eastern part of the "Heaven"s Dome city" an hour ago.

After putting Cui Guoliang"s beast skin on top of the map he had purchased, Shun Long could see the route that he had to take in order to arrive at the "Dragon Lord"s villa".

His finger traced through the route as he mumbled

""As long as we pa.s.s through the Netherspirit forest, we should reach the "Dragon Lord"s villa" within a few hours.""

Liu Mei nodded her head as she observed the 2 maps.

Indeed, if they didn"t follow the route through the Netherspirit forest, they would have to take a huge detour in order to arrive at the villa.

After placing the 2 maps back inside the "Stone of Time", Shun Long and Liu Mei started to travel towards the Netherspirit forest.

Since the black panther was still undergoing his breakthrough, and they were still close to the Heaven"s Dome city, Shun Long could only choose to fly there by themselves.

Shun Long and Liu Mei shot to the sky, as they flew towards the Netherspirit forest"s direction.

The forest itself was close to the Heaven"s Dome city to begin with, and just 8 hours later, the 2 of them had arrived at its entrance.

As soon as they arrived outside of the forest, Shun Long saw Liu Mei"s eyes that had lit up in excitement.

Shun Long immediately understood the reason, as he could also sense the boundless death qi inside the Netherspirit forest, that reached all the way to the forest"s entrance.

It was said that the Netherspirit forest was a place where countless cultivators had died here in the past, and their souls had turned into powerful spirits that would roam inside the forest.

Although the spirits didn"t have sentience and they couldn"t see or hear, they would instinctively attack any cultivator that approached close to them.

It was said that a few powerful magic beasts also lived inside the forest, and some of them were strong enough to threaten even Dao Kings.

However, these magic beasts would only appear if someone intruded in their territory, and would otherwise stay dormant inside the forest.

Since it was already night, Shun Long and Liu Mei chose to set up camp 3 miles away from the forest"s entrance, and enter the forest in the morning.

Since they were out in the open and in an unfamiliar place, Shun Long didn"t choose to enter the foggy s.p.a.ce in the "Stone of Time", but instead, he cultivated normally inside the tent along with Liu Mei.

This was the first time in a while that he cultivated outside of the foggy s.p.a.ce in the "Stone of Time".

Waving his hand, more than 1000 middle-grade spirit stones appeared around him and Liu Mei.

Shun Long smiled lightly as he looked at Liu Mei, before he summoned the "Heaven swallowing vine" from the "Stone of Time".

Under Liu Mei"s shocked eyes, the vine started to absorb the middle-grade spirit stones at an incredible speed, before it filled the tent with pure qi that Liu Mei had never seen before.

Understanding that Shun Long had done this for her, Liu Mei felt a warm feeling coursing through her heart.

Circulating the "Moonlight Sigil", she started to absorb the moonlight that was entering inside the tent, along with the boundless pure qi that had filled the air around her.

Shun Long had a smile on his face, as he circulated the "Monarch"s Hourgla.s.s" and started to absorb the qi inside the tent as well.

Even though he was cultivating together with Liu Mei, Shun Long noticed, that the qi that Liu Mei could absorb was minimal when compared to him.

Not only was the "Monarch"s Hourgla.s.s" absorbing almost 90 percent of the qi in the air, but that was with Shun Long holding back.

5 hours pa.s.sed like this, and as the sun started to rise, Shun Long heard a powerful roar in his mind, that was filled with joy and excitement.
