Chapter 1157 The Divine Realm

The Divine Demon Continent was teeming with Demigod Realm magical beasts. Their current strength was far too weak to contend with them. Zhou Yan considered this for a moment and said, "Let's not wander around here for now. You all stay on this beach. I'll find someone to rescue you once I return."

After Zhou Yan instructed everyone to disperse, he led the three warriors towards the Divine Realm.

"Master, we haven't found anything to enhance our cultivation along the way, and I have no idea if there are any treasures within the Divine Demon Continent that can help us improve our power," Qinglin's voice sounded. Zhou Yan replied, "Whether there are or not, I must enter the Divine Realm to search."

"Alright," Qinglin said, falling silent and daring not to ask further questions.

Zhou Yan continued to fly forward with the three warriors. His speed was very fast, but he dared not push his limits. He feared a powerful magical beast might suddenly emerge, making escape impossible. Thus, Zhou Yan couldn't guarantee absolute safety.

"Mr. Qin, what are we doing here in the Divine Realm?" a young man asked at this moment.

"You don't need to know what we're doing here in the Divine Realm. You'll know when we get there," Zhou Yan replied, not wanting to reveal his identity.

They flew for a long time and finally stopped by a vast beach. The beach was expansive, but there were no buildings. The surroundings were entirely ocean, with no shelter in sight.

Zhou Yan and his group stood by the shore for quite a while. Zhou Yan observed the scenery, noticing fish swimming in the sea, which looked beautiful.

"This must be the Divine Realm, isn't it? It's so beautiful," a young man exclaimed. These men were around twenty years old, handsome, and refined in appearance.

"Yes, it truly is beautiful. I've never seen such a magnificent sight before. It's so comforting to behold," another added, his eyes fixed on the distant sea as if he had spotted a treasure.

Zhou Yan smiled at their expressions. He recalled having experienced similar situations in the past, a long time ago. He realized then that those past experiences were indeed extraordinary.

"Since that's the case, let's enter the Divine Realm now. Regardless, we've finally managed to reach it," Zhou Yan said calmly, looking at the sea with a hint of excitement in his heart.

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly spoke, "Mr. Qin, since this is the Divine Realm, why don't you disguise yourself as an ordinary person? I remember when we first came to the Divine Realm, the demons wore black cloaks. That way, we wouldn't be easily discovered."

"You're right, I do have that concern. However, I believe my appearance is quite suited to this environment," Zhou Yan replied, then further explained, "Actually, it's not just my appearance; I don't want their appearances to be recognized either, given their strong auras."

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the group fell silent, no longer speaking. They understood that Zhou Yan was protecting them.

Zhou Yan led them deeper into the Divine Realm. He noticed that many demons resided in the depths of this realm.

"Mr. Qin, we've been here for quite some time, yet we haven't encountered any demons," a middle-aged man asked, confused.

"Heh, demons live in the depths of the Divine Realm. They generally don't venture into the inner parts because they will attack humans as soon as they detect their presence," Zhou Yan replied with a smile. "However, in the central region of the Divine Realm, many demons are hidden. As long as you are careful, you won't encounter danger."

"Oh. I see."

"Yes, keep following me. I will protect you," Zhou Yan said lightly.

"Okay, we trust you, Mr. Qin."

Zhou Yan nodded. These demons would only be safe if they followed him; otherwise, they would face certain death.

"Alright, we are about to enter the Divine Realm. Everyone be careful and don't fall behind," Zhou Yan said and charged forward, with the demons close behind.

Soon, they arrived at the central region of the Divine Realm.

At this moment, a mountain peak that pierced the clouds appeared before Zhou Yan. Gazing at the colossal mountain reaching into the sky, Zhou Yan's heart trembled violently.

"Is this the legendary Divine Demon Mountain Range!" Zhou Yan murmured to himself.

Zhou Yan was so astonished because he had read about the Divine Realm in books. The Divine Realm was the core area of this territory, and the heart of the entire Divine Realm lay within this mountain range. Many divine beasts and powerful magical beasts lived in the Divine Demon Mountain Range.

The Divine Demon Mountain Range was a forbidden area. Only those possessing divine status could tread upon it. Anyone else wishing to enter had to pass through a series of trials.

Although Zhou Yan was a powerful figure with divine status, he had only recently evolved. Attempting to traverse this mountain range was still far beyond his capabilities.

"Brother Zhou Yan, that mountain ahead is the Divine Demon Mountain Range. You must not act rashly, or you will die," the young man beside him warned Zhou Yan sternly.

"I understand. I know what to do."

Zhou Yan looked at the young man, secretly admiring his calmness and rationality. He could maintain composure even in such a dangerous place.

"Brother Zhou Yan, is that mountain ahead your intended destination?" the young man asked Zhou Yan again.

Zhou Yan nodded without speaking and then rushed forward. The young man watched Zhou Yan's retreating figure, his eyes filled with shock.

"I never expected him to dare enter the Divine Demon Mountain Range. This is simply courting death," the young man said, looking at Zhou Yan's back with astonishment. He then turned and walked away. He felt it was best not to get involved in such a perilous place.

Zhou Yan swiftly raced towards the Divine Demon Mountain Range. With one step, he instantly teleported.

"Whoosh!"

Soon, Zhou Yan appeared at the entrance of the Divine Demon Mountain Range. At this moment, Zhou Yan stared at the mountain wall, bewildered. He found it strange that an array formation was set up within the mountain.

In Zhou Yan's memory, there were no array formations at the entrance of the Divine Realm. What was going on?

"Could it be the work of that demon? Impossible. That demon's power is so low, and I've never heard of their kind setting up array formations."
