The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 694: Mysterious Forest

Clear Light Ridge, as its name suggests, is a vast, uninterrupted mountain range.

It is covered with endless forests, but the vegetation inside has long since turned black, apparently devoid of any life.

Despite its lush appearance, the atmosphere of death and eeriness here is far more intense than in any other part of the Divine Kingdom.

“Great place!

I haven’t even entered yet, but I can already feel the extraordinary aura inside. Maybe there’s a lot to be gained here.”

Standing on a mountain peak, Su Jingzhen looked at the front of Clear Light Ridge with a slightly excited expression on his face.

At the same time, he spoke to Little Green inside the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss: “Little Green, don’t worry about the Bronze Gate yet. You will absorb it eventually.

And in the area where I’m now, you might find what you’re looking for in abundance.

Don’t worry, we’ll take our time this time, and I’ll make sure your seventh leaf grows.”

With Bai Suzhen protecting him, Su Jingzhen was extremely confident about keeping his promises.

Before Su Jingzhen and Yan Xia could discuss from where to enter Clear Light Ridge, Bai Suzhen suddenly sent him a message from his right arm: “I sense something interesting in the forest ahead. You should check it out quickly.”

Bai Suzhen’s sudden message made Su Jingzhen’s eyes widen in surprise.

Throughout their journey, even at the Bronze Gate of Enlightenment Cliff, Bai Suzhen had shown no interest.

Even when the Bronze Gate appeared, she had not reacted at all.

Now that she was taking the initiative, it was a sure sign that there was something valuable there.

“Follow me.”

Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen followed Bai Suzhen’s lead and told Yan Xia to come along.

They headed towards the forest in front of them.

“Oh? You’ve already found a destination so quickly? I didn’t have much of a plan for this area either.”

Yan Xia was momentarily stunned, but also somewhat excited.

For Yan Xia, Su Jingzhen had been an extremely mysterious figure ever since they met in Linjiang City.

Even though she felt that she had more information about the Divine Kingdom than Su Jingzhen, she hadn’t expected Su Jingzhen to remain so mysterious even here.

Yan Xia didn’t ask any more questions and quietly followed Su Jingzhen.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, the environment became more and more eerie.

Whenever they accidentally touched the trees, the trees would instantly turn to ash.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen’s expression turned slightly surprised: “This forest is even more fragile than I thought.”

He chuckled and didn’t give it much thought.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Su Jingzhen and Yan Xia exchanged a glance.

Their energy began to surge within them.

A silver-white light emanated from Su Jingzhen’s body, and his innate dragon scale defense was fully activated.

Although Bai Suzhen’s presence gave him confidence, this reaction was a natural instinct.

“It’s not far ahead. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I have an instinctive desire for it.

If I can get it, my strength might be restored somewhat.

By then, I can’t guarantee that you’ll be invincible in the Luo River Valley, but I can at least guarantee your safety.”

As she spoke, Bai Suzhen’s voice carried a hint of excitement.

At that moment, a blood-red glow suddenly appeared in their line of sight, accompanied by a strange yet powerful aura. 

This aura enveloped the surrounding several miles of forest.

“Master, be careful. I… I actually have a terrifying feeling.”

At this moment, what Yan Xia felt was not excitement, but an unprecedented sense of gravity. 

The Purple and Gold Longevity Pagoda that she had put away reappeared in her hand. 

Although the aura around her had not yet manifested, her power was surging, ready to act at any moment.

“You stay back. If there’s any danger, don’t worry about me, just take care of yourself.”

Su Jingzhen spoke to Yan Xia with a serious tone.

“Master, do you know something? 

With the enhancement of the Purple and Gold Longevity Pagoda, my combat power is quite formidable. If there is any danger, I can definitely fight by your side.”

Yan Xia was unaware of Bai Suzhen’s existence. 

As far as she was concerned, her combat strength was not much different from Su Jingzhen’s. 

Moreover, with the Purple and Gold Longevity Pagoda, a powerful weapon, she had immense confidence.

“Do what you want, but I have my own means in critical moments. You don’t need to worry about me. Just take care of your own safety.”

Su Jingzhen did not explain much more. 

Then, the two of them resolutely headed towards the place where the red light was coming from.

As they got closer and closer, the strange aura became more and more intense, and a strong pressure and repulsive force acted upon them, as if it wanted to drive them away.

“Get out!”

Under this pressure, they continued to move forward, and suddenly, a voice echoed in their ears from the red light. 

The voice was filled with anger and a touch of urgency.

Sensing this, the oppressive aura around them grew even stronger.

“Master, the owner of this voice is extremely powerful. Maybe we should retreat. 

If Senior Shen Yifeng were here, we would have nothing to fear. But with Senior Shen not around, it might be difficult for just the two of us to continue.”

Yan Xia, as the Water Spirit Saint Body of the Yan Clan, had a high status, but she was still afraid at this moment. 

After all, they were just young cultivators, and their cultivation path had just begun. 

There was no need to force a confrontation with some ancient monsters.

More importantly, they didn’t even know who their enemy was, so the psychological pressure was immense. 

If the various major powers of the Unity Realm had entered together, it would have been easier to handle. 

But what they feared most were the primordial dangers and ancient evil that existed in the Divine Kingdom.

Even though they had entered this place many times without encountering such things, it didn’t mean that they didn’t exist. 

Both of them had a bright and promising future, and Yan Xia really didn’t want to take any risks.

Su Jingzhen did not react to her words. The excitement in his eyes only increased. 

Then he resolutely walked forward.

“Unwilling to leave? 

Then stay.”

Seemingly sensing Su Jingzhen’s actions, a voice from the strange red light spoke again, still filled with urgency and anger. 

The next moment, a vague and ethereal figure condensed within the red light. 

The figure suddenly raised a large palm and pressed it towards Su Jingzhen and Yan Xia.
