It was as if a thin layer of mist hung in the air, causing vision to blur at a distance. Only the outlines of mountain ranges could be seen, and the expanse of the forbidden zone seemed larger than anticipated.
Catching a whiff of the pungent stench, Qin Sang immediately held his breath and looked around. In front of him lay a swamp emitting an awful odor, while behind him stretched a dark and endless forest.

The jungle was thick with branches and shrouded in mist, whether from humidity or miasma, making the shadows of the trees look like countless demons clawing at the air.
Entering the Forbidden Zone of Gossip, where you land is entirely up to luck. If you happen to fall into a monster's den, you can only blame fate.

This place doesn't seem like a kind place at all. Qin Sang pondered for a moment, then wings appeared on his back. The wings gave off clouds, enveloping his figure, and then he vanished into thin air.

Climbing up a tree, waiting for a moment, with no unusual movements around him, Qin Sang silently jumped down from the tree and cast the Yun Dun technique, swiftly dashing towards the chosen direction.

After traveling a distance through the forest without incident, Qin Sang finally arrived at the foot of a mountain. The mountain wasn't large, but according to Qin Sang's observation, it should be the highest point in the surrounding area.
However, just as he was about to reach the summit, Qin Sang quietly slipped behind a large stone.
Moments later, another Qin Sang emerged from behind the large stone and climbed upwards grandly. As he neared the peak, the 'Qin Sang' suddenly let out a whooshing sound and transformed into a puddle of water, soaking the ground.

After a while, the real Qin Sang walked out from behind the large rock.
The one before, of course, was a clone created by him using the Shape-Shifting spell. In preparation for this Grand Ascension Ceremony, he had practiced another spell.
Due to limited time and energy, he did not choose the more difficult techniques of quicksand barriers and fog locks across the river.
Even with his masterful skill, Qin Sang's creations were not flawless. The phantoms he conjured had weaknesses that a discerning opponent could exploit. However, if the enemy was careless or momentarily distracted, they would likely fall prey to Qin Sang's ruse.
As Qin Sang's realm improved, his horizons widened, and he realized that every magical incantation had its unique uses. He initially thought that the Shapeshifting technique was useless, but it turned out to be incredibly versatile. It could be used for scouting and luring enemies, just to name a few examples.
To act so cautiously would inevitably delay things, but in this perilous situation, it's a necessity.
Although the mountain appears safe at first glance, Qin Sang's vigilance remains undiminished. This mountain boasts a wide field of vision, offering an excellent vantage point to observe the surrounding terrain—a boon for awareness. However, it also harbors potential dangers. If there are other individuals nearby, they too might harbor similar intentions as their own.
Qin Sang held the Purple Soul Orb tightly in his palm, while his divine sense was always ready to activate the Ice Silkworm Armor. Although this armor was only a mid-grade magic weapon, it could still help him block a surprise attack and buy some time.
Having prepared everything, Qin Sang continued to urge Luoyun Wings, silently moving towards the peak. Every few steps, he would cautiously glance around, taking a considerable amount of time to finally reach the summit.
My vision broadened instantly. Within sight, the terrain was surprisingly diverse and fantastical.
He just came from the left, where the swamp and jungle met. Both the swamp and jungle were incredibly vast, stretching far beyond sight.
Sometimes, you could see a rustling of leaves in the jungle canopy, whether it was caused by something moving beneath or simply the wind.
That patch of swamp was no kind place, the edges were bearable enough, but the deeper you went, the more it seemed to be boiling. Mud bubbles constantly erupted, and above it all, swirls of multicolored mist gathered, most likely poisonous.
Those two places are absolutely off-limits!
Qin Sang was afraid that before he even met anyone, he would be eaten by the monsters and poisonous insects inside.
You should know that there are monster beasts of the mortal demon realm in the gossip forbidden zone.
Birds, beasts, plants, ghosts and even mountains, rocks, and artifacts, if they have deep fortune and are enlightened by nature, can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and swallow the essence of the sun, moon, stars. This is called a demon.
All the fairies and ghosts spoken of in the world are like this.
These demons only have the instinct to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. Their intelligence is not yet open, and they are called common demon-phase monsters. Common demon-phase monsters have some strength, but they are weak. Ordinary people can kill them with special means.
If it is a powerful demon that has lived for many years, many of them already have a considerable amount of intelligence and various strange abilities. Even cultivators in the Qi Refining period would find them very difficult to deal with.
When a demonic beast reaches the peak of its Yaoqi period, it is about to give birth to a demon spirit and possesses strength comparable to that of a cultivator at the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Period.
When a demonic being is conceived, its true spirit begins to manifest and develop its divine intelligence. This stage is known as the Demonic Spirit Stage, which can be likened to the Foundation Establishment stage of human cultivators.

Fortunately, there were no great demons of the Yao Ling period in the Gossip Forbidden Zone, but it was said that there existed demon beasts of the Fan Yao period late stage or even peak. Even Qin Sang, who possessed a top-grade magic weapon, did not dare to provoke them easily.
The Quiyin Sect didn't have a map of the Bagua Forbidden Lands, and Qin Sang had no idea which area he was sent to.
From all directions, you can go any way. Only after collecting all the jade talismans will you know which direction leads to the core area. Before that, just strive to survive and snatch the jade talismans.
Qin Sang looked at the surrounding terrain, pondered for a moment, and finally decided to go in the direction of his right hand. There was a large mountain range there, with lush vegetation on the mountains, but it was not as dense and dark as the gloomy forest. This complex terrain was most suitable for him.
After making up his mind, Qin Sang was just about to head down the mountain when he suddenly felt something was amiss. He abruptly looked up and fixed his gaze on the bird in the sky, which resembled a yellow oriole.
Not long after he ascended the mountain, this yellow warbler flew over. There were wild beasts in the forbidden zone as well. At first, Qin Sang glanced at it and didn't pay any more attention.
But this yellow warbler never stopped eating, and after appearing it circled around the mountain peak constantly, like a hawk patrolling, especially at the summit where it had already flown several circles.
Qin Sang stared at the yellow warbler, the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. After a moment of contemplation, he lowered his head to look down the mountain, searching inch by inch, not letting go of any spot, but finding nothing.
Just as Qin Sang suspected she was overthinking things, the yellow warbler suddenly spread its wings and flew towards the mountainside. Qin Sang's eyes lit up as she followed the warbler with her gaze, only to see it disappear into a thicket of weeds.

There was a valley there, filled with knee-high wormwood, very hidden.
Then, the clump of mugwort swayed, and a figure emerged from it. A yellow warbler stood on his shoulder, preening its feathers with its beak.
This person scanned their surroundings and then dashed up the mountain.
"Fortunately, I never put away the Falling Cloud Wings."
Qin Sang couldn't help but secretly rejoice at his own caution. He didn't expect anyone to fall so close to him, and at the same time, he felt a sudden surge of tension.
Though he had taken countless lives, this was the first time he encountered an opponent who was also a cultivator.
Qin Sang hurriedly cast his divine sense, discovering that the visitor's cultivation level was similar to his own. He didn't need to dodge.
However, cultivators have many bizarre methods and should not be underestimated.ded in demonic fire.He vanished into the ghostly mist in a flash, arriving before a pile of skeletons. He unleashed a gust of wind with a flick of his finger.Let me know if you'd like to translate any...
