Chapter 547: Chapter 282 Fox Mound_1
Upon entering the Monster Forest, Lin Yi released Zhi Ling from the Spirit Pet Column. Seeing its surroundings, Zhi Ling, thrilled, transformed into a lightning bolt, and began to dash through the woods.

He could not help but laugh, and he waved a hand, “That’s enough, Zhi Ling, come back and rest. There will be plenty of time for you to jump around later.”

Judging from the previous consumption of Virtue Points, Zhi Ling’s parents were some distance from here. And what they had found now was probably just a rough direction. They would need to continue to use the Minor Blessing State to further pinpoint the exact direction.

However, when he used the Minor Blessing State to determine the direction, all he thought about was the direction where Zhi Ling’s parents might be. Whether they are still alive, he didn’t know.

After all, when he met Zhi Ling at the Outer Sect, he had just crossed over not too long ago. Now, a hundred and seventy-eight years have passed.

Zhi Ling sprinted back like a lightning bolt and perched on Lin Yi’s shoulder, her face filled with anticipation, yet with a touch of unease in her heart.

Lin Yi patted its head and smiled, “Let’s go. We’ll deal with those sinister scum from the Xuan Yin Sect first, and then look for your parents. No matter what the end result is, we’re always partners.”

Zhi Ling nodded heavily. She rubbed her little head against Lin Yi’s shoulder, then pointed forward with her small paw and squeaked twice as if signaling to start.

The place where they were now was deep within the Monster Forest and was the farthest location that the Dan God Secret Realm could teleport to. Further ahead were the territories of Golden Core Monster Kings and, possibly, Monster Ancestors equivalent to human Nascent Souls.

While determining the direction earlier, Lin Yi had taken out a rough map of the Monster Forest he obtained from the Xuan Tian Realm, hoping to locate Zhi Ling’s parents or perhaps Yin You of the Xuan Yin Sect.

Unfortunately, as if influenced by something, the stick fell outside the map, and Virtue Points were not consumed.

However, even though he could not confirm their exact location on the map, he could get a rough direction through the Minor Blessing State. The only thing was that the Virtue Points consumed were much more than those used when searching within the Cultivation World.

This suggested that a sort of mist enveloped the depths of the Monster Forest, which could affect even the Minor Blessing State. If the subsequent search became too challenging, he might consider using the Big Fortune State, which might break through this mist layer.

With the direction previously determined, Lin Yi headed deeper into the Monster Forest, from where it seemed that the black-cloaked Taoist, Yin You, had also ventured. It appeared as though he was trying to flee to another Cultivation World.

However, the Monster Forest was extremely vast and fraught with danger. It might take a Golden Core Real Person two to three years to cross it entirely.

Only a Nascent Soul Great Perfection could cross it rapidly and safely, just like the helper the Xuan Yin Sect had previously solicited. However, even with the cultivation level of the Realm of Nascent Soul Great Perfection, it would still take several months to cross the entire forest.

That was because the depths of the Monster Forest were treacherous. Flying a sword in the air would significantly increase the probability of encountering danger, given the countless old monsters inhabiting this forest. Otherwise, the two Cultivation Worlds would not have completely lost contact.

Now, only about a year had passed since he annihilated the Xuan Yin Sect. He estimated that this person would not have been in the Monster Forest for too long.

Before, he had also used the Dan God Secret Realm to teleport to the other side in the Xuan Tian Realm. He used the Minor Blessing State to explore and verify that this guy was still within the Monster Forest.

Although he was powerful and could display the might of the Deification Realm, he did not plan to fly over the forest flagrantly on a sword. That would be like defecating on the heads of these old monsters. No one would tolerate that, and fighting all the way would be too troublesome.

Even with his identity as Invincible East, embodying the swagger of the unmatched and unrivaled in the world, he would not apply brute force recklessly.

Lin Yi put Zhi Ling into a pocket on his clothes. Although he was in the form of Invincible East, there was a pocket on his clothes for Zhi Ling to enjoy the scenery.

He activated his wind element ability and quickly dashed through the forest. Through his strong Divine Sense, he could detect strong Monster Beasts nearby and avoid them in advance. The journey was quite smooth.

Here, he truly felt the law of the jungle within this forest. He often saw monsters fighting with blood and flesh flying around; it was absolutely a primitive world.

However, as he delved deeper, these fights became fewer, because Golden Core Monster Kings started to appear and they all had their own territories, which they would not cross lightly.

Regarding these Monster Beasts, Lin Yi would avoid them if he could. If they could not be avoided, he would emit a Nascent Soul aura. Any beast with a bit of sense would not attack. If he encountered ones that were rash, there was nothing he could do.

Every time he advanced a certain distance, he would use the Minor Blessing State to confirm the location of the black-cloaked Taoist Yin You again, and the direction would change slightly.

In the meanwhile, he also confirmed the position of Zhi Ling’s parents again, which had also changed a bit. This meant that they might still be alive, which instantly eased his mind.

A month later, Lin Yi ventured deeper into the forest which was likely the core area of the Monster Forest. Nascent Soul Monster Ancestors lived here, and the Spiritual Energy in this part of the forest was denser with more resources, especially the ancient Spirit Grass and Spirit Medicine.
