Above the forest, a layer of mist enveloped the area like a lid, and he found himself caught between this lid and the sea of fog below. Fortunately, the mist in the forest was merely ordinary fog; although it affected visibility, it did not hinder his perception, which still extended up to twenty miles. This allowed him to relax slightly.
Gazing upward through the space between the cloud layer and the fog below, he spotted a towering peak that pierced the sky. He could only see a section of the mountain's body, as both the clouds above and the fog below thickened as they approached it. It was as if the clouds and mist emanated from this very mountain. He recalled his map, which did not indicate any peculiarities in this vicinity. If he wasn't mistaken, the distant peak was labeled as Bei Yin Mountain on the map—a landmark of sorts—but there was no additional information about it, suggesting it was just an ordinary mountain. However, looking at the distant peak, he felt certain that it was anything but ordinary; there must be something special about it that he simply did not know yet. Since it seemed unique, he decided to investigate. After his experience in Cloud Mist Swamp, he had grown significantly stronger and bolder. Now within the borders of Lianyun Empire, he assumed there wouldn't be too much risk.
Descending from the mountain, he continued toward Bei Yin Mountain. Though emboldened, he remained vigilant, frequently stopping to survey his surroundings. As expected, the closer he got to Bei Yin Mountain, the denser the fog became, severely impacting his visibility—his range had dropped from two hundred yards to just fifty. Fortunately, his perception distance remained largely unchanged; however, he did not fully extend it and kept it within three hundred yards. In this forest, even Mountain Body trees could obstruct perception, so three hundred yards was sufficient for him to react in case of danger. Yet, as he progressed, an increasing sense of unease settled over him. The surroundings were eerily silent—no Demon Beasts or regular Beasts could be heard; even the chirping of insects and birds was absent. This reminded him of the Bai Xu he dealt with alongside Erniu in Kao Shu Village. Could there be a flowering Bai Xu lurking here? After a thorough inspection revealed no signs of infection on him, he concluded that the mist was indeed just ordinary fog. Nevertheless, he remained cautious in case anything unexpected occurred.
The temperature around him gradually dropped, and his heightened senses picked up on this change. The strangeness of his surroundings did not deter him from pressing forward; instead, he felt a growing sense of anticipation that such a unique place might yield unexpected rewards.
As he searched while advancing deeper into Mist Sea Forest for five days now, he reflected on how what seemed close from afar could turn out to be quite distant upon approach. After climbing a tree for a better view, he estimated that he still had another five days' journey to reach Bei Yin Mountain.
The area around him was devoid of life—a silence that felt almost terrifying—but fortunately, his efforts had yielded some rewards. While they couldn't compare to those found in Cloud Mist Forest, they were still relatively rare medicinal herbs that helped calm his restless mind somewhat.
Restless? Yes, indeed restless. As he drew nearer to Bei Yin Mountain, he sensed an increasing agitation within himself that intensified with each passing moment.
