The next day!
Ye Chen didn't inform anyone and entered the dense fog alone.
Amidst the thick fog, Ye Chen floated in the air with the Perceptive Ball in his left hand.
"The Perceptive Ball is shining with an orange light. I should be almost eight hundred li away from Bewilderment Fog Island, and one thousand li away from the large Perceptive Tower. If Bewilderment Fog Island happens to be in the center of Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone, then I'm about half of thirty thousand li away from the edge. Subtracting one thousand li from that, it would be fourteen thousand li. Fourteen thousand li, ah! My soul power can only radiate forty-seven li in the fog. In other words, I'll have to use my soul power three hundred times.
If there's a huge deviation in any one of them, all my efforts would be wasted. "However, traveling forty-seven li in one go is countless times more effective than traveling fourteen thousand li without a plan. With the strength of my will, the influence won't be too great, and the deviation can be controlled to a small extent. However, traveling fourteen thousand li is something that the majority of Sea of Soul realm experts wouldn't be able to endure, and would get lost midway."
"En, let's begin!"
Putting away the Perceptive Ball, Ye Chen closed his eyes and a powerful soul power radiated out from his forehead, traveling along the fog until forty-seven li away. Without opening his eyes, Ye Chen's Zhen Yuan erupted as he flew at an extreme speed.
After twenty breaths …
"Here!"
Following the same pattern, Ye Chen's soul power radiated another forty-seven li away, making it the second destination in a straight line.
Third destination!
Tenth destination!
…
Third destination!
"The edge of Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone still seems very far away. Perhaps, it's more than fourteen thousand li from the starting point to the edge. After all, the entire Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone has an irregular shape. Some places are longer, while others are shorter. Let's persevere for a while more."
Three hundred and twentieth destination …
Four hundred destination …
Five hundred destination …
"Damn, wrong! Five hundred times of positioning, forty-seven li for each. Five hundred times would be twenty-three thousand five hundred li. If there were no deviation, I would have left long ago."
Although Ye Chen had already prepared himself for failure, the cruelty of Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone still made him smile bitterly.
"I wonder where I am in the Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone now. One wrong step really leads to all the wrong steps!"
There was no time to be depressed. Five hundred moves did not take much time, adding up to only three and a half hours. Ye Chen planned to continue flying in a straight line, because no matter how long the distance was, as long as it was a straight line, there would be a chance to get out. He did not believe that he would not be lucky even once.
…
The large water leak told Ye Chen that a month had passed.
In the past month, he had used his soul power to locate the target 180,000 times. Every day, out of the 24 hours, twenty hours were spent flying. Of the remaining four hours, two hours were spent absorbing the energy from the top rank spirit stones, and two hours were spent resting.
During this period, he coincidentally returned to Bewilderment Fog Island eleven times.
What was certain was that the closer one was to Bewilderment Fog Island, the less affected one was. The closer one was to the edge of Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone, the more affected one was. Being able to return to Bewilderment Fog Island eleven times was a good proof.
"Thinking about it, even Sea of Soul realm experts have to rely on luck to get out. If they are lucky, they can get out in a short time. If they are unlucky, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they would be stuck inside for three to five years."
"However, as long as you persevere, luck will come to you."
Swish!
Ye Chen's figure pierced through the dense fog.
…
Another month passed.
Bang!
Earthen yellow fist shadows burst forth, raising huge waves on the lake's surface.
"Damn it! It's been two months! Could it be that my method was wrong from the start? Relying on will alone is impossible to get out? Perhaps, my will is not enough."
For Astral Reaching experts, two months was nothing more than a single session of seclusion, which could pass in the blink of an eye. However, it was different now. During this period, Ye Chen had been flying again and again, calculating again and again, repeating the same boring behavior. If there was a time limit, Ye Chen wouldn't be so upset and sullen. The crucial point was that he didn't know how long he would have to endure such days. The sullen feeling in his heart finally erupted, and it was a huge one at that.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The lake surface of dozens of li was riddled with holes, raising huge waves that reached thousands of meters high. Many demonic beasts were shaken to death at the bottom of the lake.
After venting his anger, Ye Chen gasped for breath.
"No, I don't even believe in myself anymore. What sword dao is there to cultivate? The further I go, the more difficult it gets. It seems like my strength is there, but my mental state is not there yet. Usually, I think I'm very calm, unfazed even if the sky collapses. But, when it comes to a true test of will, I'm actually no good. Oh well, this time, I'm not only looking for a way out, but also tempering my mental state."
Ye Chen's terror lay in his ability to reflect in time. If it were an ordinary person, they would only be tangled in the problem of leaving the forbidden zone. However, Ye Chen could jump out and find his own problem.
Buzz!
A spacious wooden board flew out of the storage ring and landed on the lake. Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the board and calmed his mind.
"Any tribulation is a test for me."
"Any setback will allow me to reach a higher level."
"Any obstacle will be an opportunity for me to improve."
"Turning all favorable and unfavorable things into my own … This is my will, my spirit, my sword dao."
In the dense fog, the young man started his first mental state transformation. Of course, the transformation had just begun. Whether he could break through or not, he could only rely on himself.
…
The third month, failure!
The fourth month, failure!
The fifth month was about to begin.
During this period of time, Ye Chen had been dispirited, dispirited, lacking in confidence, persevering, comprehending, and reflecting.
Every time he pulled himself together, Ye Chen felt like his spirit had gone through a baptism and a tempering. His sword dao will had become sharper and indestructible.
The fifth month …
The seventh day …
Ye Chen continued to fly, his eyes resolute.
…
"Feng Yanrou, you've been chasing me for three months, and you still haven't given up?" Above the boundless lake, two figures were seven to eight li apart, one in front and one behind. The one speaking was the middle-aged man in front. He was tall and thin, wearing a long robe. As he flew, his whole body seemed to have turned into the wind. Under the wind's escort, his speed was as fast as a ghost.
The one chasing him was a young woman in her twenties, wearing a snow-white dress with a longsword at her waist. Her fine black hair was like a waterfall, and her eyes were like stars. Her ice-cold expression carried a kind of breathtaking beauty. What was especially eye-catching was the snowflake pattern on her forehead, appearing exceptionally holy and gorgeous. She said with a clear voice, "Gao Qianhe, the matter of you killing my junior sister won't end like this. Even if I have to spend a year, I'll kill you with my own hands."
"Humph! Chase me then! Although my strength is not as high as yours, in terms of agility technique, no one in the Astral Reaching realm can compare to me. "
The young woman called Feng Yanrou creased her brows. The opposite party was right. Although her agility technique was exceptional, this Gao Qianhe's agility technique was even more frightening. His comprehension was also not to be underestimated, as he had actually comprehended wind mentality and soft mentality to the extreme. With the two mentalities superimposed together, his speed had already reached an unimaginable level. If not for her vigorous Zhen Yuan and a secret skill that could increase her speed, she would have long since been left behind. Even so, he had still escaped several times in these two months. Fortunately, she was quite well-versed in the art of tracking, and caught up again.
"Indeed, if nothing unexpected happens, I will never be able to catch up to you. However, I can endure this kind of life. Can you endure being chased for a long time?"
Gao Qianhe was furious, "You!"
After being chased for three months, Gao Qianhe had long since been exhausted. Not only was his body exhausted, but his spirit was also the most painful. As he thought up to this point, he regretted not killing his junior sister at the beginning. As for this matter, it had to start from three months ago. Gao Qianhe cultivated a rather evil martial art, and his desires were extremely great. One day, he encountered Feng Yanrou's junior sister in a remote area. His heart filled with evil intentions, and after injuring her, he wanted to have sex with her. But, how could he have known that the other party had used some unknown secret technique to contact Feng Yanrou, and had ambushed him at the most unexpected time. Gao Qianhe tangled with her for a while, and in the end, killed her out of anger. However, just as he killed her, Feng Yanrou arrived.
Feng Yanrou was only twenty-two or twenty-three years old, but her martial arts were extremely high. It was said that among the young generation of Misty Snow Region, she was at least in the top five. As for which of the top five, nobody knew. After dozens of moves, Gao Qianhe was no match for Feng Yanrou, and fled in defeat. What followed was a chase that lasted for three months.
"Flying Snow Connecting the Sky!"
From seven to eight li away, Feng Yanrou pulled out the longsword at her waist and slashed in the air. An ice-cold sword Qi swirled up a sky-filling snowflakes as it chopped toward Gao Qianhe. The sword intent contained within made Gao Qianhe's scalp go numb, and his speed unknowingly increased.
Kacha!
The sword Qi didn't manage to hit Gao Qianhe, but the lake water below him froze. A nearly three hundred zhang long sword scar was imprinted on the layer of ice, looking very ghastly.
"Damn it, this girl's sword dao cultivation is too frightening. I'm absolutely not her opponent. I'm afraid that in the entire Misty Snow Region, there won't be an Astral Reaching realm sword artist more powerful than her." Gao Qianhe inwardly rejoiced, and subconsciously looked into the distance.
"Eh? That's the fog area. I might have a chance to escape. "
Dozens of li away, the thick fog covered the sky and covered the sun. It was hard to tell how wide it was, and how high it was. It was the perfect place to escape.
"Not good! There's actually a fog area above the Star Regional Lake."
Feng Yanrou's brows creased.
Thirty li.
Twenty li.
When Gao Qianhe was only twenty li away from the fog, a long roar came from within, and a blue silhouette rushed out. It was a youngster.
"Finally out!"
Ye Chen raised his head to look at the sky. The warm sunlight sprinkled on his body, making him feel exceptionally gentle.
On the seventh day of the fifth month, Ye Chen broke the iron rule of the forbidden zone, and smoothly walked out with an Astral Reaching realm cultivation base. If this were to spread out, who knew what consequences it would bring. However, none of this was important. What was important was that he had finally left that damned place.
As he thought of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but rejoice at his perseverance. Without the perseverance of the previous four months, the possibility of him walking out would be close to zero. He reckoned that those Sea of Soul realm experts who had fallen into the forbidden zone might not have been able to persevere for too long. After all, Sea of Soul realm experts surpassed Ye Chen in terms of speed, and had certain advantages.
"Eh, is this person being chased? Quite fast. "
Feng Yanrou and Gao Qianhe's pursuit was too eye-catching. It would be hard for Ye Chen not to notice it.
"Please help me stop him, please."
From far away, Feng Yanrou circulated her Zhen Yuan, and her voice was transmitted to Ye Chen at a frightening speed. Actually, she didn't think Ye Chen could stop Gao Qianhe, but he only needed two breaths of time. Two breaths of time, and she would be able to catch up with all her strength. At that time, she would be well-prepared, and she would absolutely not let Gao Qianhe escape.
"Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone only allows one to enter, but not leave. Since this person has entered, it's almost impossible to track him. Help her stop him! In any case, it won't take much effort. " According to his soul power, Ye Chen roughly estimated that Gao Qianhe was an Extreme Astral Reaching expert, and so was Feng Yanrou. However, the latter was much stronger, and should be one of the top existences among Extreme Astral Reaching experts. Of course, it didn't mean much to him.
"A brat wants to stop me? Dream on! Shadow Shift Godly Art! "
Gao Qianhe's body suddenly paused, and an astonishing scene occurred. Behind Ye Chen, another Gao Qianhe appeared. Two Gao Qianhe appeared in front and behind of Ye Chen, making it impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake. Even Ye Chen was instantly mesmerized.
Seeing this, Feng Yanrou could only smile bitterly. Asking him to stop Gao Qianhe, whose movement technique was exceptional, was indeed too difficult. She couldn't blame him.
