Along the way, Linlong bumped into some demons. However, these demons weren't strong. Linlong could totally kill them without alerting the powerful beings of the demon race.
After spending more than a day, Linlong finally arrived at the Qingyue Mountain. This Qingyue Mountain was extremely far away from the three major cities.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Linlong found a young man seated there.
Looking at Linlong's travel-worn appearance, the young man could not help but ask, "Are you Young Master Lin?"
"That's right." Linlong nodded his head.
"Young Master, please follow me then." With that, the young man led the way.
Following the young man, Linlong arrived at the waist of the mountain. There was a wooden hut here. The young man brought Linlong to the front of the wooden hut.
He then called out to the wooden hut, "Grandpa, Young Master Lin is here."
"Hurry and bring Young Master Lin in then." A voice rang out from within. It seemed like the person who spoke was seriously ill.
The young man brought Linlong in immediately. Walking into the wooden hut, Linlong found an old man lying on the bed with a haggard expression.
When he saw Linlong, the old man let out a smile before saying, "Young Master Lin, you're here."
"May I ask if you guys are from the demonic sects?" Looking at the two of them, Linlong asked in bewilderment.
Even though he could tell that the young man was a martial artist, his strength was really weak. As for the old man, he did not have a single bit of a martial artist's aura.
Therefore, the two of them didn't look like they were from the demonic sects at all.
"Young Master Lin, you've guessed correctly. We are from the demonic sects. Furthermore, there are only the two of us in this mountain." The old man said.
"Only the two of you are from the demonic sects in this mountain? What about the others? "Linlong could not help but ask.
In his opinion, there should be plenty of people from the demonic sects here. Therefore, he did not dare to believe the words of the old man at all.
The old man laughed out bitterly, "Because the demon race has taken control of the human race, the talents of our demonic sects have withered. As time goes by, the situation is getting worse. It can be said that the demonic sects that you've met earlier on are the elites of our demonic sects. The remaining powerful beings are basically hiding within the demon race, not daring to reveal their identities at all."
Hearing the elder's words, Linlong's face couldn't help but twitch. That was because he hadn't met many people from the demonic sects. One could imagine how rare the demonic sects were.
"Even if we rescue the entire Human Race from the hands of the Demon Race, we still won't be a match for them." Lin Long couldn't help saying.
"Young master, it's not like that. The reason why our Human Race has been suppressed by the Demon Race for so many years is entirely because of their great formation. The power of their great formation covers the entire world. Because of this, we have no way of cultivating in other cultivation techniques, and can only cultivate in demonic techniques that we do not know. Because of this, we are not their match at all. But if we can break through their great formation, we can cultivate in other cultivation techniques like them. With the talent of our Human Race, we can at least share the world with the Demon Race!" The old man said.
"I see." Hearing the elder's words, Lin Long could not help but nod his head.
He was still wondering why only the demonic sects were strong among the human race, but he didn't expect this to be the reason.
"Then how can we break through their great formation?" Lin Long asked again.
"That will naturally depend on young master. There is a place in the Qingyue Mountain. As long as you enter that place, young master will be able to find the way to break through the great formation." The elder said.
"Don't the Demon Race know that place? Also, where are your people? Why don't they go there? "Lin Long couldn't help but ask.
"Actually, there is an entrance in another mountain, but with the ability of the Demon Race, there is no way for them to enter." The elder said.
"Why is that?"
"Because if one doesn't master demonic techniques, there is no way to pass through that place. The Demon Race doesn't have any demonic techniques, so they naturally can't pass through."
"As for our people, because they are not capable in other aspects, there is no way for them to enter that place."
"As for the reason, I will let Little Yi take you there. You will understand when the time comes."
The elder explained.
"Then why do you believe that I have that ability?" Lin Long asked.
"Because there is a rumor in our Human Race that those who have the ability to leave the No Man's Realm can enter that place. And we, the Human Race, have waited for hundreds of years for young master to arrive. "The elder said.
"In that case, I really want to take a look at that place." Lin Long couldn't help but smile.
Then, he asked again, "Old man, where is the elder who refined the elixir for me previously?"
The runes in his body were now showing signs of rising again, so Lin Long was naturally worried.
"That elder died the day before yesterday. He encountered experts from the Demon Race on his way back to deliver the medicine and was directly killed by them." The old man let out a sigh and said.
Hearing the elder's words, Lin Long couldn't help but fall silent.
"But young master, don't worry. I still have the elixir formula here." As he said that, the elder said to the young man, "Little Yi, give the elixir formula to young master."
"Yes." Little Yi nodded, then took out a piece of paper from a pile of miscellaneous items and handed it to Lin Long.
When Lin Long took a look, his brows furrowed. He realized that there was a material inside that he had never seen before.
"Young master, this material is actually in that secret place. As long as you reach there, you will be able to obtain it. At that time, you won't have to worry about not having enough materials to refine this elixir. The reason why that elder could only make a half-finished product was because this was the last of the material. "The elder said.
"I see." Lin Long nodded.
"Old man, I will give you a elixir. After you consume it, your body's illness will definitely be much better." Lin Long said.
As he said that, he took out a elixir and handed it to the elder.
"Thank you, young master." After receiving the elixir, the elder hurriedly thanked Lin Long.
"Alright, there's no time to lose. Little Yi, bring me to that place." After seeing the elder consume the elixir, Lin Long immediately said to Little Yi.
"Yes, young master." After saying that, Little Yi led Lin Long out.
The two of them sprinted and after an hour, they arrived at the peak of the Qingyue Mountain. When he saw the scene before him, Lin Long couldn't help but reveal a trace of astonishment.
This was because he discovered that outside the peak of the Qingyue Mountain was a misty world. Moreover, it was obvious that the world was not as simple as a mountain.
The passageway to the misty world was a stone bridge. Walking on the stone bridge, Lin Long could see the bottomless abyss on both sides.
Lin Long had a feeling that even if he was a cultivator with a body technique, he would most likely be smashed into pieces if he fell into this abyss.
After crossing the stone bridge, Lin Long discovered that there was a bamboo forest in front of him. This bamboo forest was extremely vast and it seemed as though there was no end to it.
When they arrived at the front of the bamboo forest, Little Yi immediately shook his head. "Young master, you should go ahead by yourself. I can't go any further."
"Why is that?" Lin Long couldn't help but be puzzled.
"Because there are Bamboo Leaf Swords in this bamboo forest that I can't avoid. If I go any further, I will definitely be stabbed to death by these Bamboo Leaf Swords." Little Yi explained.
"Bamboo Leaf Swords?" Lin Long was extremely puzzled.
"That's right." As he spoke, Little Yi picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the bamboo forest.
The moment the stone entered the bamboo forest, a few bamboo leaves immediately shot toward the stone from the seemingly harmless bamboo forest. If it was just the bamboo leaves, it wouldn't be a big deal. The key was that these bamboo leaves obviously contained sword aura.
In this way, these bamboo leaves were basically lethal weapons.
Sure enough, with a "swish swish swish" sound, the originally extremely hard stone was directly cut into several small pieces by these bamboo leaves.
Although these bamboo leaves were powerful, the sword aura on them wasn't that strong. Most importantly, they weren't dense and could be completely avoided. Hence, Lin Long couldn't help but ask again.
"Young master, this is only the beginning. The further we go, the more powerful these bamboo leaves are. Without an extremely powerful spirit, it is impossible to avoid them." Little Yi shook his head.
"Is that so." Lin Long nodded. "Then I will give it a try."
Subsequently, Lin Long directly walked inside.
"Young master, be careful. If you find that you really can't handle it, you can directly retreat. When you retreat, these bamboo leaves will no longer attack you." Little Yi hurriedly said.
"Understood." Lin Long replied.
As soon as he spoke, bamboo leaves immediately shot toward him.
Linlong easily dodged the bamboo swords.
However, as time passed, Lin Long increasingly understood what Little Yi said. The number of bamboo leaves increased and the sword aura on them grew stronger.
For example, if it wasn't him, but someone else, even a Martial King expert, would definitely be injured by the bamboo leaves that just brushed past his ear.
As Lin Long walked deeper and deeper, he finally couldn't see Little Yi behind him.
As he walked a little further, Lin Long simply couldn't estimate the situation around him. His spirit was completely focused on the bamboo leaves that might appear.
These bamboo leaves appeared and disappeared unpredictably. Even if his spirit was strong, he would still be injured if he wasn't careful.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Long finally passed through the bamboo forest.
After passing through, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This bamboo forest really tested one's spirit. If one's spirit was not strong enough, it would be impossible to pass through.
Lin Long now also understood why it was so difficult for the human race in this world to pass through this bamboo forest. It was completely because they didn't have a spirit as strong as his.
