The yellow brocade handkerchief was extremely fast. Relying on this treasure, Shen Luo only used half a day's time to reach the border of the Southern Viewing Section State. A boundless turbid water appeared in front of him. It was the sea region that he had encountered when he came out of the remains of the Treasure Hall.
He learned from the white-robed old man that this sea was called the Dark Shadow Sea. It was a natural moat between the North Continent and the Southern Viewing Continent.
As for why there was such a dangerous place, it had to be explained from the Great Witch Demon War in ancient times. Gong Gong rammed into Mount Buzhou, causing the Heavenly Pillar to collapse and the human world to suffer.
In order to prevent the disaster, the Saint slashed a giant turtle on the North Continent. Its four legs supported the sky, and the giant turtle died in anger. After its death, its body turned into endless miasma, enveloping the entire North Continent. The sea around the North Continent was also infected by the miasma, turning into a poisonous sea.
However, it was also because of this natural moat that the Witches and Demons who were exiled to the North Continent after the Great Witch Demon War couldn't easily leave and go to the other three continents.
Shen Luo had personally experienced the horror of this sea. Moreover, he couldn't use the Earth Escape Technique in this sea, so it was very troublesome to cross.
However, he was now much stronger than before, and he had a few more treasures to protect himself, so he wasn't afraid.
Time was tight, so he took out the Sea Suppressing Iron Staff and merged with it. He turned into a golden light that shot toward the depths of the sea like a shooting star.
Not long after, the turbid surface of the sea parted, and a thick black gas shot out from it. It emitted a monstrous cold aura, and easily blocked the golden light, and was about to sweep it down.
At this moment, a yellow light flashed outside the golden light, and the void within a few miles was dyed yellow. The thick black gas collided with it and was immediately sent flying.
However, the golden light didn't stop and continued to shoot forward. In the blink of an eye, it left the black gas behind.
In the golden light, Shen Luo looked at the yellow handkerchief in his hand and grinned. He sped up.
He flew for a day and a night, and finally, he crossed the vast Dark Shadow Sea. The North Continent appeared in front of him, but the entire North Continent was covered by a layer of endless black clouds that reached the sky.
"This is the miasma formed by the giant turtle?" Shen Luo stopped in front of the black clouds and mist. Then, he raised the yellow brocade handkerchief to protect his body. Then, he flew inside without any hesitation.
Chi! Chi!
As soon as he came into contact with the black miasma, the protective yellow light immediately flickered and was constantly eroded away.
However, the yellow brocade handkerchief's defensive power was very strong. Naturally, it was not afraid of the miasma. An endless stream of yellow light gushed out from the brocade handkerchief, resisting the corrosion of the miasma.
After a few breaths, Shen Luo's eyes suddenly lit up. He finally passed through the black miasma and appeared in the sky above a gloomy mountain.
"Is this godforsaken place really the North Continent?" He surveyed his surroundings.
Below them was a stretch of lofty mountains and precipitous ridges, but it was different from the mountain peaks of the Southern Viewing Department Continent. The mountain peaks here were basically bare and barren, without the slightest bit of spiritual energy. Occasionally, some trees and forests grew, but they were all greyish black in colour. There were not many birds, beasts, insects and ants in the forest, and the air was filled with a rotten and sour smell, looking indescribably oppressive.
Shen Luo frowned. It was no longer appropriate to describe this place as barren and unruly. It could even be called a land of death.
He looked around for a moment and quickly retracted his gaze. He flipped his hand and took out a jade slip. Inside was the map of the North Continent that the yellow-robed man had drawn for him. The location of the Huokuo Mountain was already marked out.
Just as he was about to investigate where he was, his expression suddenly changed. He pounced toward the ground, and with a flash of yellow light, he entered the ground. He dived two to three thousand feet deep into the ground before he stopped and hid.
Then, Shen Luo silently activated the Connate Treasure Refining Technique that the white-robed old man had taught him. He activated the concealment ability of the yellow brocade handkerchief.
The yellow brocade handkerchief immediately expanded dozens of times and turned into a roll of yellow gauze, covering his body.
The aura on his body was instantly obliterated and disappeared completely. It was as if his entire person had disappeared from the ground. He was instantly overjoyed.
Shen Luo had just finished doing all this when a black cloud flew over from afar. A group of demon soldiers in black armor appeared. There were about fifty to sixty of them.
These demon soldiers had purplish-black skin. Their limbs and other parts of their body were rotting and swollen. Their appearance was even more ferocious than the demon soldiers that Shen Luo had seen before.
Shen Luo had learned from the white-robed old man and the others that the demons of the North Continent had mutated in many parts of their bodies because they had been in contact with the miasma all year round. However, it was also because of this that the demons of the North Continent were much more powerful than ordinary demons. Most of them were proficient in supernatural powers such as miasma and poison.
The leader of the group was a burly man in black armor. His body did not mutate, but his thick demonic aura was mixed with a deep demonic aura.
This demon's cultivation level was very strong. He had reached the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm. The other demon soldiers were also in the Mahayana Realm and the Out-of-Body Realm.
The burly man in black armor held a dark red bead in his hand. It spun and emitted ripples of red light that spread far and wide to investigate the surrounding situation.
Shen Luo's hiding place was also affected by the red ripples. However, the yellow brocade handkerchief was really mysterious. The red ripples swept past the yellow gauze without being detected.
"This is strange. I just felt that there was a strange breakthrough in the Miasma Array here. Why did it disappear again?" the burly man in black armor said with a frown.
"Maybe the Lunar Beasts of the Yin Nether Sea accidentally touched it. Recently, the Lunar Beasts outside have been very active," a Mahayana Realm demon beside him said casually.
"Not necessarily. I heard that the remaining humans, immortals, and demons outside are not willing to admit defeat. They are secretly accumulating strength. They want to take advantage of Lord Chi You's deep sleep to launch a counterattack. We can't be careless! I will continue to search here. You guys go and check the surroundings. Don't miss any clues! "the burly man in black armor said in a low voice.
"Yes!" The other demons hurriedly put away their expressions and answered before flying in all directions.
The burly man in black armor held the dark red bead in his hand and searched the surroundings several times. However, he didn't take it back. The suspicion in his heart slowly dissipated. He then led the group of demon soldiers away.
Deep underground, Shen Luo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, he didn't move and just lay there quietly.
After half a day, he was sure that the demon soldiers had really left. Then, he stopped the concealment magic of the yellow brocade handkerchief.
However, Shen Luo didn't return to the surface. Instead, he simply stayed underground and moved forward using the Earth Escape Technique.
Although it consumed a lot of magic power, it was safer.
He first walked around for a while to confirm his location. After comparing it with the map, he headed northwest.
The North Continent was really the world of Demons, just as the yellow-robed man in the Heavenly Book Remnant Realm had said. Almost all the demon tribes had surrendered to the Demons.
Moreover, there seemed to be a high alert everywhere. Patrol teams led by Demons or Half-Demons were everywhere. Although Shen Luo was moving secretly underground, he was still almost discovered several times.
Fortunately, his cultivation was very high. He was also alert. The yellow brocade handkerchief and other treasures were very mysterious. Therefore, he was able to avoid the detection of the Demons.
