Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 248 The Puppet Who Usurped the Nest

The elite disciples from various sects rested for a night at the inn, and the next day, they returned to their respective arks and set off again.

Their next stop was the endless demon forest ahead.

The Endless Demon Forest is the most mysterious place in the entire Tianyuan Continent. This forest stretches endlessly, and for thousands of years, countless cultivators focused on adventure have wandered all over the world, but no one has ever seen the end of the Endless Demon Forest.

Moreover, this forest is spread across various continents of this world, with the largest area belonging to the Tianyuan Continent. Some small places may only have a few small trees, but they ensure that this forest winds its way forward until it reaches an end that no one knows.

Some say that at the end of the Endless Demon Forest lies a place all cultivators yearn for—the Immortal Realm. This is a forest planted by immortals, hence its mystique. Every tree here is a spirit, usually lying quietly, only attacking when their lives are in danger. The forest is home to all sorts of demonic beasts, even mythical creatures existing only in legends. Entering through the outer perimeter reveals treasures everywhere; rare spiritual materials, extremely rare on the Tianyuan Continent, grow throughout the Endless Demon Forest. Once, the leader of an obscure sect in the cultivation world, by chance, passed through the outer perimeter of the Endless Demon Forest and stayed in its central area for ten days. After ten days, he miraculously escaped, bringing back various rare treasures, instantly elevating his once lowly sect to a first-rate one. This demonstrates the immense treasure hidden within the Endless Demon Forest!

But what people covet most is the Central Plains Secret Realm deep within the Endless Demon Forest.

This is a very strange secret realm. Whenever this realm opens, the Endless Demon Forest falls into tranquility. All animals vanish, and rare plants disappear without a trace, leaving only towering trees. At this time, people can safely pass through the outer and middle perimeters of the Endless Demon Forest to reach the very center, where the most brutal test takes place. Those who pass the test and score highly will receive a mysterious gift, and the person who scores first in each test will always receive either a divine artifact or a mythical beast!

Divine beasts and divine artifacts are extremely rare throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent. Obtaining one is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of top experts. Therefore, all the major sects are going all out, even sacrificing disciples they have cultivated for many years, just for the divine artifact or divine beast that only one person can obtain in the end.

The Central Plains Secret Realm opens once every fifty years, and in a few days, it will be exactly fifty years. That's why so many disciples from various sects have gathered here, each determined to obtain the divine artifact!

Including Ling Miao'an.

Moreover, Ling Miao'an was confident that he was the strongest among these disciples. In addition, he had an unbeatable trump card. He was certain that he would be the number one in the Central Plains Secret Realm this time!

He raised his hand and proudly waved his folding fan. Although it was high in the sky and the air was bitterly cold, he pretended to be as if it were springtime. The other inner disciples of the sect who were going to the Central Plains Secret Realm with him were respectful on the surface, but couldn't help but curse him as a show-off in their hearts.

Ling Miao'an knew nothing of this, nor did he care to know. He stood on the gunwale of the ark, his wide sleeves and robes fluttering in the wind, his handsome face giving him an ethereal appearance. "Yu Liu" stood quietly not far behind him, like a guard.

The ark moved at great speed, streaking across the sky like streaks of light as it approached the endless forest below.

Yu Liu was already waiting for Ling Miao'an in the Endless Demon Forest.

Having followed Ling Miao'an for nearly a year, and with the information she gained about this world after arriving, Yu Liu had roughly figured out the main plot of this so-called fictional world. In layman's terms, the main plot of this fictional world follows the popular online novel genre of power-ups and overpowered protagonists.

The male protagonist was a child prodigy, but later suffered setbacks, losing all his cultivation and becoming estranged from everyone. He accidentally discovers a ring left by his mother containing a powerful, albeit unbelievable, old man. With the old man's help, he begins cultivating again, changes his appearance, and is taken in by his current master, becoming the senior disciple of one of the five major sects in the cultivation world and the designated successor to the sect leader. He then embarks on a journey of trials and tribulations, gaining countless beauties along the way: a beautiful and spoiled junior sister, a stunningly beautiful demon ancestor, and alluring demons—any woman with even a modicum of attractiveness becomes his.

After leveling up and slapping faces along the way, the male protagonist finally ascends to the immortal realm, becoming a legend that circulates throughout the entire cultivation continent.

That's roughly how it goes. That's why Yu Liu didn't follow the ark; she knew that the Central Plains Secret Realm was definitely a way to give the protagonist a cheat code, and the protagonist couldn't possibly refuse to go. Even if he didn't want to go, in this world where the protagonist is paramount, the protagonist would appear before the cheat code in various forms.

As long as I appear in the Endless Demon Forest, I'm not afraid of not being able to wait for Ling Miao'an.

Clutching a red feather that shimmered with a faint light, Yu Liu sat quietly on a branch, her eyelashes drooping and motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, a commotion finally arose from the outskirts of the Endless Demon Forest, as elite disciples from various sects arrived.

"Brother Ling, Brother Mo, Brother Xuanyuan, from now on we'll be competitors. However, the Endless Demon Forest is fraught with danger. If we meet again in the future, please show mercy. Farewell!"

After the ark landed, the various sects assembled their teams. After packing their belongings, they split into small groups of four or five people and dispersed. The tense expressions were replaced by vigilance. From this moment on, the environment they were in was no longer the peaceful sect, but the endless demon forest where they could die at any time.

After bidding farewell to Ling Miao'an and the others, the white-clad man, exuding an aloofness, turned and left with his men.

Ling Miao'an gave a polite smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. The other party was the biggest threat to him on this trip. He was a sword cultivator, and a sword cultivator's sword was said to be able to challenge opponents of higher levels. Although Ling Miao'an wasn't afraid of him, he still felt that he was somewhat troublesome.

"Let's go too."

He concealed the coldness in his eyes and turned to speak gently to his junior sister, who was still sulking. His long, narrow eyes were filled with tenderness, so much so that just looking at them could drown one in their warmth. Yu Qing, who had been sulking, was like a punctured balloon when she saw him like this; all her anger was released, leaving only a blush of shyness.

"Mmm," she responded softly, her face flushed with embarrassment.
