968: Chapter 261_2 968: Chapter 261_2 Forcefully pushing through was absolutely impossible with this fog.
Unless one moved above it.
Cao Zhen looked up at the sky again, his body levitating and soaring up outside the mist, flying upwards.
However, no matter how high he flew, when he crossed the clouds, the fog still blocked his path.
Even when he flew higher, he found that the fog enveloped everything above him too.
If he flew further, he would touch the fog again.
“If not from above, what about below?
Surely the fog couldn’t be in the water as well.”
Moved by a thought, Cao Zhen turned and dove downwards, dropping onto the ocean surface before plunging into the sea.
However, the next moment, he was completely stunned.
Within the seawater, there astonishingly existed another layer of white fog.
Moreover, the fog continued to spread downward, reaching the seabed.
“The bottom is the same.”
Having no other options, Cao Zhen flew back to the surface, where his body once again gathered strength, his aura climbing back to its peak state.
He decided to test the fog once more.
This time, he didn’t try to disperse the fog with his power but plunged into the midst of it, instantly feeling the sensation of being battered by fearsome waves again.
Wave after wave of fog continuously struck him.
The energy inside Cao Zhen circulated rapidly, forcefully stabilizing his body.
Yet, his body uncontrollably began to retreat backwards.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he fiercely turned around.
Instantly, the endless fog pushed him, flying out of its bounds.
Cao Zhen took another look at the fog before getting up and flying off into the distance, landing on a mountain.
There, he looked at Little Bei Yan and said, “The power within this fog far exceeds the limits of the Golden Core Stage.
During the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, no one could break through this fog.
However, it seems the fog really does act like ocean waves, coming from one direction.
I wonder if on the other side of the fog the mist is also blowing that way.”
As he spoke, Cao Zhen stood on the mountain, looked around a few more times, then mused, “We temporarily cannot pass through the fog.
If you have time, stay here and keep an eye on it.
Should anything change, immediately contact Jing Yao and the Hundred Peaks Sect.
I’ll go check around.”
He pondered a problem—the Eastern Wasteland is immensely vast.
If this side could see the fog and possibly a continent, what about the other four sides of the Eastern Wasteland?
Had similar phenomena appeared on the other four sides, or was it only near the Great Lai Dynasty?
He could only look around or inquire from others.
Initially, the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s Immortal Sects could exchange information by burning the Sect’s chart, but the Immortal Sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty had no contact with those of other dynasties.
However, as peace prevailed and it became known that the Eastern Wasteland might connect with the Central Five Provinces, contact was established between everyone, allowing them to communicate by burning the Sect’s chart.
After all, if the Eastern Wasteland were to connect with the Central Five Provinces and invaders from the Central Five Provinces attacked the Eastern Wasteland, they would need to stick together for warmth.
Thinking this, Cao Zhen quickly connected through China Cloud to Ling Xi, who was still at the Hundred Peaks Sect, and inquired, “Ling Xi, have the Immortal Sects of other dynasties contacted us, discovered anything?”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ling Xi immediately replied, “Master, I was just wondering how to inform you.
Just now, the Cliff-Watching Sect of the Extreme Edge Dynasty burned their Sect’s chart; they said that they too saw the white fog, and beyond it, another immense, unfathomable continent.
And, they were curious; three people flew into the fog.
Among them was one after Pill Fusion with seven Special Gold Cores, and the other two hadn’t completed Pill Fusion, both being at the eighth rank of Golden Core.
However, after the trio entered the fog, they never returned.”
Cao Zhen was immediately alarmed, asking worriedly, “Did they die in there?”
“I don’t know,” Ling Xi shook his head, “Once they entered the fog, they could see nothing, so it’s not possible to ascertain if they died.
Moreover, that fog is truly terrifying.
Afterwards, they tried sending a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection expert to the edge to probe.
However, that expert also didn’t return.”
“Even a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection didn’t return?”
Cao Zhen felt something was amiss; the white fog in front of him clearly expelled anyone who entered, instead of directly killing them.
The person from the Cliff-Watching Sect who entered the fog, why would they disappear completely?
Clearly, the fog over there was different from this side.
Cao Zhen continued asking, “Beside there, have other places seen white fog appearing?”
“Yes, other Immortal Sects have reported seeing fog.
Furthermore, we discovered that the Sects reporting fog were all based on our Eastern Wasteland’s east and west sides.
However, those on the north and south didn’t report seeing any fog.”
“Hmm?
Just the east and west sides?” Cao Zhen was momentarily puzzled.
If the Eastern Wasteland was to connect with the Central Five Provinces, it should be from the east, or north, or perhaps both east and south, or west and south…such adjacent sides joining with the Central Five Provinces.
