Chapter 737: Five Elements Pass
Scanning the area within a hundred miles with his spiritual consciousness, Liu Yu hesitated a bit before speaking.
Although it sounded like a question, by the end, he was completely certain.
A golden core cultivator could truly achieve photographic memory; anything seen once could never be forgotten. How could they forget the journey through the Jin Kingdom on their way to the Transverse Mountain Range years ago?
Even though almost a hundred years had passed, as soon as he recalled the past, the memories became vividly clear in his mind.
"It's definitely the Jin Kingdom."
"If I remember correctly, if we fly north for a while longer, we should reach Tian Nan."
Zhuo Mengzhen said.
Her spiritual consciousness detected the active presence of demonic beasts, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
The Jin Kingdom bordered the Chu State, but it had fallen into the hands of the demonic race thousands of years ago, making it a frontline in the conflict between humans and demons.
Due to the presence of immortal cultivators who had been clearing out the demonic beasts, the number of low-level demonic beasts in this area had never increased much.
However, it was evident that there had been some changes.
"As a boundary between the human and demonic forces, it should constantly face assaults from immortal cultivators and remain highly vigilant."
"But looking at these demonic beasts lounging around, they seem completely unprepared for any cultivators."
"All signs indicate that this place hasn't seen any immortal cultivators for a long time; perhaps this former territory of the Jin Kingdom is no longer a 'frontline'."
"The Jin Kingdom is adjacent to the Chu State, so what about the current situation in the Chu State?"
Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness continuously scanned the surroundings as an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
The two exchanged glances, both filled with grave concern.
If the Chu State had already fallen, then the predicament of the Five Great Sects would likely not be good either.
No matter what, as righteous sect cultivators, they ultimately had to return to their sects.
Various precedents indicated that being a loose cultivator held no future.
"Let's head back to the Chu State and see if we can find a few cultivators to understand the current situation in Tian Nan."
After a moment of silence, Liu Yu made a decision.
So, after simply concealing their cave, the two retracted their auras and set off, stealthily moving toward the Chu State.
The teleportation array had already been destroyed, and there might still be holy land cultivators guarding the other end, making it impossible to use again. Therefore, Liu Yu handled the matter casually, just covering it up a bit.
"Whoosh, whoosh~"
With the wall of spiritual consciousness surrounding them, the breath concealment technique dampened their auras and fluctuations as they silently advanced toward the Chu State.
At present, Liu Yu's stealth techniques were quite sophisticated, ranking among the best even in the Central Domain.
In the Tian Nan golden core stage, they were impeccable.
Even if faced with a fourth-order demonic king, it would be difficult to detect their presence unless one observed very carefully.
Thus, despite being in the territory of the demonic race, the two were not overly worried.
After all, in Tian Nan, even a divine transformation existence might not reveal itself for centuries; a fourth-order demonic king was already among the top-tier existences, not something one would encounter easily.
As long as they avoided those fourth-order spiritual mountains and blessed lands, there was basically no need to worry about running into a fourth-order demonic king.
"Roar~"
As they flew and observed along the way, their moods gradually became heavier.
After flying more than two thousand miles, everything they saw remained largely unchanged; the Jin Kingdom had completely become a paradise for demonic beasts.
Various demonic beast clans thrived here, with no signs of any immortal cultivators.
