Chapter 481: Chapter 480: A Flower, A World

```

"No."

Lin Hao shook his head; this was neither a Giant Cauldron nor an Illusion.

"We’ve already gone beyond the deepest point mapped out; this place should have never been visited before," Ziyue said, taking out the Communication Device given by Li Yuan and turning on a three-dimensional virtual map. After a long glance, she suddenly spoke.

"It’s not that no one has ever come here, but rather, those who did have all died inside, with none ever returning alive. The Path of No Return? Sounds interesting." Mo Changfeng chuckled mischievously, not fearful at all, but rather eager to try.

"What should we do?" Liu Chuixue was more straightforward, looking to Lin Hao for an answer.

"According to the last message, this should be the deepest part of the mysterious forest. People from Dragon Needle and the East Atlantic Company all went in."

Ziyue closed the map and looked towards the pitch-black forest ahead.

A chilly wind howled, as if thousands of wandering souls were roaring within the forest; even Ziyue felt waves of chill.

Meaning, all Cultivators who entered the forest and managed to get this far have all entered the Path of No Return.

"Let’s go in," Lin Hao decided without further thought, walking straight ahead.

Everyone else didn’t speak. Even the four jokesters were now somber, following seriously at the rear.

Inside the forest, the place quieted down, and the air seemed to ripple with the scent of death.

Thump... Thump... Thump...

The group moved forward, each step on the muddy ground sounding like the tolling of bells.

Finally, Lin Hao stepped first into the forest; a gust of cold wind blew towards him, but strangely accompanied by the refreshing fragrance of a rainforest after rain, completely different from the outside.

An entirely new natural world, wholly inconsistent with the scene of corpses strewn all around outside.

But even so, Lin Hao didn’t let down his guard one bit. The forest was empty, without even the cry of a bird, and not a single corpse on the ground.

What was in front were two large trees on either side, their bark stripped away, resembling two door frames of a gate, with what seemed to be characters inscribed on them.

"Cultivation leads to the path ahead; please pass through this gate."

"If you fear death and covet life, there’s no turning back."

Lin Hao and Liu Chuixue walked up to take a closer look and read them out loud together.

"What does this mean? A couplet?" Mo Changfeng and the others couldn’t understand the ancient characters on the tree trunks, but they grew curious as they heard Lin Hao and Liu Chuixue reading it.

In such a place, with such trees, and such writing, one couldn’t help but feel a sense of eeriness.

"Does it mean, if we move forward, we can Cultivate and find the path? And if we retreat, we’ll find death?"

"No wonder those who fled all died; is this the meaning behind the Path of No Return?"

The four comedians looked at each other hesitantly. Whether they could enter the Immortal World or not, they were unsure, but they knew that retreating would mean death.

For a moment, everyone’s gaze turned to Lin Hao.

"What are you looking at? Let’s go." Lin Hao’s mouth twitched, and without any courtesy, he stepped past those gate-like ancient trees. With just one step forward, he disappeared into the darkness of the forest.

"Bang... Bang... Bang!"

In the darkness, only the sound of heartbeats could be heard, leaving the others staring at each other, a sense of ill omen rising in their hearts.

"Go!"

Ziyue grit her teeth, her figure flashed, and she quickly rushed towards the direction Lin Hao disappeared.

Liu Chuixue swiftly followed after her, and then Mo Changfeng and Poison Rose also charged into the darkness of the forest.

Only the four clowns were left, looking at each other.

"Let’s go all in!"

Finally, the four of them entered in unison, speaking as with one voice.

The mountain breeze caressed them, and suddenly, the view opened up before their eyes; no dark skies or dense jungles. Instead, sunlight poured down from the sky, warming their bodies.

At this moment, Lin Hao stood at the edge of a cliff halfway up a high mountain. Behind him was a dimly lit forest, and in front of him, a hundred paces square on the mountainside—a sheer drop of about a thousand zhang beneath, leading to endless plains.

"Is this..." Behind Lin Hao, Ziyue emerged from the dark, gloomy forest and was instantly captivated by the sight before her, wondering if she had taken a wrong turn as she glanced back.

Right behind Ziyue, Mo Changfeng and the others also came out one after another, everyone was stunned by the scene before their eyes.

Verdant mountains and clear water under a cloudless sky, the air not only fresh but also tinged with an ancient aura.

"Could this be another world? Am I dreaming?"

"We just walked into the forest, how did it suddenly change to this? Could this be the legendary Immortal World?"

The four fools were the most astonished, looking around curiously like babies, then turning back to look behind them.

"Is this the exit? If we go back, it should be the forest we came from, right? It was clearly a forest, so how did it turn into a mountain?"

"Go back? Do you dare to go back? This is a no-return path; going back means death."

The four fools chattered back and forth, and then there was silence.

"Is this an Illusion Technique? Or is it something that exists similary to that cauldron?" Mo Changfeng’s Divine Cauldron Syndrome flared up again, as he ran behind Lin Hao and asked in a low voice.

"No. It’s a spatial turbulence, a place formed by the profound Space Law. That gateway is a space-time portal."

The Divine Cauldron was a creation of God from the chaos of the Three Realms; there were only nine of them, and this place obviously could not be similar to the Divine Cauldron. During the dark passage through the forest, Lin Hao had felt a distinct force of the Space Law.

What lay before them was merely a Sumeru Space.

"A single flower is a world: a single leaf is a Bodhi. Perhaps we are now within a leaf of that forest," Liu Chuixue glanced back at the exit behind her. "However, the no-return path is not without its reputation. I’m afraid all those who died outside are people who got here and then turned back, and in the end, were killed."

"Then... doesn’t that mean we are trapped here?"

"What should we do next?"

Dong Bubai and Zhong Taobai shivered, and just as they were about to step into the forest, they abruptly halted in mid-air, turning their heads in shock to look at Liu Chuixue and Lin Hao.

"Since we’re here, let’s settle in. Since there’s such a no-return path, let’s move forward and give it a try," Lin Hao was unconcerned, scoffing to himself, with a certain enlightenment in his heart.

He suspected that if they crossed the no-return path, it would be the dwelling of the Guardian. Since the Guardian set up this no-return path, he would play along.

"Let’s go." Lin Hao scoffed inwardly, glanced around, and decided to leave by jumping down the thousand zhang cliff.

This, of course, was no difficulty for them, and Lin Hao was the first to approach the cliff, ready to jump down.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the right side of the mountain. Lin Hao turned his head and his eyes widened instantly.

"Dragon!"

Everyone behind him also exclaimed, only to see a giant dragon emerging from behind the mountains, flapping its wings.

It was neither the Divine Dragon of the Eastern lands nor the large lizards of the Western, but an ancient Winged Dragon!

The Winged Dragon saw the group too, its eyes flashed with gold, its sharp beak seemed to salivate as it swooped straight towards them.

Without Primordial Qi, without any energy fluctuations, it was simply an ancient Winged Dragon.

At that moment, Mo Changfeng, too, was fearless, sweeping his Treasure Sword, ready to slay the dragon.

But just then, the Winged Dragon suddenly opened its long mouth and with a sudden blast, it spat out a blue fireball, smashing it directly towards the group’s heads.

"Samadhi Fire!"

This time, Lin Hao was truly startled and his expression changed!
