Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Heavenly Human Realm Powerhouse

Hearing Lin Chen’s plan, Xu Ma’an and Li Xuanming both seemed somewhat worried. After all, Black Cloud Mountain was fraught with dangers, and it was not far from the Black Cloud Sect. If Lin Chen’s movements were discovered by the Sect, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Despite this, faced with Lin Chen’s resolute attitude, Xu Ma’an and Li Xuanming, though feeling helpless, could only advise him to be extremely careful.

For safety reasons, they proposed sending several elders from their sect to accompany Lin Chen, but Lin Chen declined this suggestion.

In his view, acting alone was actually safer, and it would be easier to escape danger if encountered. If he were to travel with the elders, it might actually increase the burden, so he chose to refuse.

"If that’s the case, be very careful, go quickly and return quickly, we’re in Divine Sun City for you."

Xu Ma’an could only agree to this.

Afterward, Lin Chen took the flying boat towards Black Cloud Mountain.

The small flying boat driven by Lin Chen, although not nearly as spacious as the large ones, was quite fast. He had refined it later according to the Green Bird.

It took Lin Chen two full days to reach Black Cloud Mountain. Alighting from the flying boat, he began walking through the mountains.

This place was very close to the Black Cloud Sect. If people from the Sect discovered Lin Chen’s trail here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It was not entirely out of fear of the Black Cloud Sect, but rather, Lin Chen was worried that if the Sect learned he was not in Divine Sun City, they might immediately launch an attack on the city.

While making his way through Black Cloud Mountain, Lin Chen saw several flying magical beasts in the sky, all of them fifth-grade beasts, equivalent to martial artists of the Reverting Void Realm.

Lin Chen was shocked, not expecting Black Cloud Mountain to be so dangerous.

The battle power of those fifth-grade magical beasts before him was such that even martial artists at the peak of the Reverting Void Realm might not be their match. Lin Chen naturally did not dare to be careless, carefully concealing his aura and quietly passing through their territory.

When Lin Chen left Divine Sun City, he had found a map of Black Cloud Mountain in the Scripture Pavilion. After avoiding the territories of the strong beasts, he slowly headed towards his destination for the herbal materials.

All along the way, Lin Chen proceeded with extreme caution.

Releasing his Divine Sense and using the sensitivity of the Spiritual Bee, Lin Chen would avoid any strong magical beasts he encountered. When he came across some he was confident he could defeat, he made quick work of them, killing them swiftly, and their bodies were instantly collected into the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron. He took care not to let any blood spill out to avoid attracting more magical beasts.

After another two days, Lin Chen finally reached the depths of Black Cloud Mountain. Upon his arrival, Lin Chen wanted to search for those materials as soon as possible. The sooner he found them, the sooner he could leave Black Cloud Mountain, as it was no place to linger.

He had heard of the dangers of Black Cloud Mountain early on, and Lin Chen did not believe his cultivation was strong enough to ignore the dangers there.

Whoosh—

However, just as Lin Chen released his Divine Sense to detect the whereabouts of the herbs, he immediately felt a powerful presence emanating from somewhere in the mountains.

This powerful presence had Lin Chen’s hair standing on end the instant he perceived it.

It was far beyond the Reverting Void Realm.

"Is this... the presence of a sixth-grade magical beast, comparable to a creature of the Heavenly Human Realm?"

Lin Chen stopped in his tracks, his back already soaked with sweat, and he hurriedly retracted his Divine Soul.

If that magical beast also sensed Lin Chen’s Divine Soul, there would be big trouble.

If targeted by a sixth-grade beast, Lin Chen was not confident he could escape from its clutches.

"Damn it, what bad luck, to come across a sixth-grade magical beast."

Lin Chen was speechless, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding mountains, vigilant.

Now that he dared not use his Divine Sense, he could only rely on his eyes.

Releasing Divine Sense against an enemy far stronger than himself would be tantamount to revealing his location.

If Lin Chen had known that Black Cloud Mountain harbored sixth-grade magical beasts lurking within, he wouldn’t have dared to come here, even if he had a hundred times the courage.

It was like a lamb walking into a tiger’s den. What Lin Chen wanted to do now was to quietly slip away at once, leaving this cursed place.

However, just as Lin Chen was cautiously planning his escape,

a powerful presence suddenly erupted in the woods.

In the sky above, a strong Wind Blade swept across, instantly dispersing the clouds, followed by a white figure swooping down from the horizon, appearing right in front of Lin Chen, hovering over his head.

Lin Chen was shocked and looked up to the sky, only to see a creature with snow-white feathers like a fluffy coat, revealing some of its white skin underneath, beautiful as a fairy.

For a moment, Lin Chen was stunned, thinking to himself that such beautiful women could exist in this world.

However, he quickly came to his senses, silently reproaching himself for nearly succumbing to her Bewitching Technique that could captivate the soul.

"Where did you come from, martial artist, to dare enter my territory uninvited?"

Her gaze fell upon Lin Chen, as if she looked down on everything in the world.

The voice, upon reaching his ears, sounded like music from the heavens, but Lin Chen did not see her mouth move.

Not only did the woman’s voice reach Lin Chen’s ears, but it also transformed into a strong presence, spreading for miles in all directions.

The nearby magical beasts immediately became agitated and knelt down, trembling in fear.

Witnessing her methods, Lin Chen was deeply alarmed, thinking to himself that her power was indeed extraordinary. Was this the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm?

"I’m lost and didn’t mean to intrude into your territory. Please spare me, miss."

Lin Chen looked up at the woman in the sky and quickly spoke in a supplicating manner.

He couldn’t exactly say that he came to the mountains to look for herbs. After all, this was this woman’s territory. Wouldn’t that be confessing to stealing? If he told the truth, she would surely see him as an enemy.

"Lost?"

"What is your purpose for coming to the mountains?"

The woman’s gaze locked onto Lin Chen, as if trying to see right through him. Clearly, she did not believe Lin Chen’s claim of being lost.
