Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Forbidden Area?

There was no need to look around; the mere change in temperature around him told Lu Chen he had arrived in a brand-new place.

Without a doubt, this was a teleportation array!

"Could it really be the forbidden land?"

Lu Chen couldn’t help but mutter to himself, looking down at his feet.

Unbeknownst to him, the ice had been replaced with a large array composed of numerous irregularly-shaped bluestone bricks.

The seams between the bricks formed intricate array patterns through which Spiritual Power flowed.

Lu Chen remembered that these patterns were identical to those of the large array he had stood upon earlier!

Looking up, he saw that the gray Spiritual Power fog had begun to slowly dissipate.

Lu Chen took a deep breath.

Once the fog had completely vanished, he was stunned by the scene before him.

The sky was dark.

An extreme darkness, scattered with strange luminescence, stretched and twisted slowly from the distance before fading away.

Not a single star was to be seen.

Looking ahead, there was an endless wilderness.

The land was barren, devoid of any signs of life.

Above the wasteland, there rose mounds of earth, and deep, bottomless fissures.

The mounds would occasionally tremble, while ancient, inexplicable roars emanated from the fissures.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but desolation...

"A forbidden land in name and reality!"

Lu Chen took another deep breath and with a thought, the Heavenly Inquiry Spear appeared in his hand.

He then carefully sensed his surroundings and realized that the Spiritual Power here was even more scarce, like a person groggily waking from sleep.

The Ice Ji Fan was clearly of no use now, only the Heavenly Inquiry Spear could provide him much comfort.

"Master, have you left the secret realm? Where is this?"

At that moment, the voice of the spear spirit suddenly echoed in his mind, and Lu Chen was overjoyed, "Wen Tian, you’re awake?"

"I am," said the spear spirit, "Master, have I slept for a long time? Is the Haotian Secret Realm over?"

"Not yet," Lu Chen said gravely, "You’ve only slept for a few hours. By accident, I entered this place from the icy terrain. I’ve just arrived, and it seems to be a forbidden land within the Haotian Secret Realm."

As Lu Chen spoke, he was also deep in thought.

From what he knew so far.

Kong Wu from Haotian Sect and several people from the Spirit Sound Sect must be aware of the ultimate purpose behind the first-rate sects of the Eastern Domain’s venture into the secret realm.

The letter was obtained from Kong Wu.

The junior sister from Spirit Sound Sect wanted Lu Chen to work for her from the very beginning.

"So, there must be several first-rate sects in the Eastern Domain that are using various methods to deceive the disciples of the other major regions’ first-rate sects to come here!"

Lu Chen felt somewhat helpless; he knew too little about the Eastern Domain!

Aside from the Haotian Sect and the Spirit Sound Sect, he had no idea how many other first-rate sects there were in the Eastern Domain!

But one thing was certain—most of the cultivators he would encounter here were now enemies!

"I hope Yaotiao and Sister Li are both safe!"

The gray fog had completely dispersed, and the bluestones underfoot showed no further reaction. Lu Chen knew it was time to leave.

He glanced around, memorizing the terrain.

If this place was the entrance, it would surely also be the exit. He wanted no part in the Eastern Domain’s schemes. Once he found both women, he planned to bring them back here and leave.

Thinking this, Lu Chen stepped onto the teleportation array, only to be suddenly greeted by fierce winds!

The winds were almost tangible, as if they meant to tear his flesh apart. Alarmed, Lu Chen hastily retreated back into the safety of the array!

The fierce winds vanished without a trace.

Lu Chen was dumbfounded as he looked down at his feet, then up ahead.

Wind has no form, and now, no sound either.

"This array still serves as protection; I must first put up a defensive barrier," he murmured.

Lu Chen couldn’t stay put. He murmured again as he gathered Spiritual Power to form a protective shield around himself before continuing onward.

"Shasha shasha—"

The fierce winds rubbed and cut against Lu Chen’s shield of Spiritual Power, emitting a grating noise. Fortunately, Lu Chen had come prepared this time, and the winds did not affect him.

If anything, it was only the consumption of Spiritual Power that concerned him, which, for Lu Chen, was hardly an issue.

At the same time, he noticed that within the range of the large array, the Spiritual Power was sparse.

But beyond the array, the Spiritual Power within the winds was incredibly dense—a density that was almost terrifying...

It was so terrifying that he dared not use the Imperial Command to absorb and refine the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!

Because the Spiritual Power was extremely violent, there were also many auras that felt utterly foreign to him, and he could not identify their properties.
