Chapter 609: Chapter 572: Location of the Celestial Cloud Pool

Though Qin An stood on this land, he felt an invisible force surrounding him.

This invisible force was like maggots that cling to bones, ready to burrow into his body at any moment.

Every moment, Qin An could hear countless voices echoing in his mind.

These voices were very faint, impossible to hear if not listened to carefully, yet they continuously eroded his mind.

He knew that if given time, as these voices amplified to a certain level, he might indeed become a walking corpse as Chen Liuyun had mentioned, turning into a puppet within this Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land.

"How should I go about finding the whereabouts of the Celestial Cloud Pool?"

Qin An furrowed his brows, pondering.

"The Celestial Cloud Pool appears randomly, with no fixed location. It seems I’ll have to rely on luck."

The challenge did not lie in the will of the masses but in the fact that the Celestial Cloud Pool appeared randomly.

Therefore, anyone who came here seeking the Celestial Cloud Pool would have to rely on a stroke of luck.

With this thought, Qin An did not linger, and randomly chose a direction, quickly sprinting forward.

Since it’s about chance, then chance it is.

If after three days he still couldn’t find the whereabouts of the Celestial Cloud Pool, Qin An would temporarily exit the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land and seek another solution.

Soon, Qin An’s figure vanished from sight.

...

The Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land was vast, though outwardly it appeared to be an unremarkable mountain peak, within it inexplicably concealed worlds.

It was as if someone with great power had independently carved out a space here.

The immense Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land, however, lacked any sign of life.

Qin An headed in this direction for about the time it takes a stick of incense to burn, and despite his rapid pace, encountered nothing.

Not even a hint of danger crossed his path.

Qin An couldn’t help but halt, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Supposedly this is the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land, a large forbidden area, yet I encountered no danger and not even a single person; it’s very strange indeed."

Sometimes the safest places can be the most perilous.

Qin An knew well that the calm scene before him was far from ordinary.

After some contemplation, he continued onward.

If he continued further, he would encounter the local human forces, which was why Qin An chose this direction.

He hoped to find the whereabouts of the Celestial Cloud Pool through these human forces.

If even the local human forces were unaware, likely his hopes of success would truly be slim.

Qin An walked for about another hour, without encountering any threat.

A city outline gradually emerged before Qin An.

The Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land was a large forbidden area, far larger than the Forbidden Land of Extreme Heat.

Therefore, the grandeur of the city here surpassed that of the Forbidden Land of Extreme Heat by far.

Upon arriving at the city gates, two human guards immediately stepped forward barring the way and asked, "Who are you? Why do you look unfamiliar? We’ve never seen you before."

Qin An pondered for a moment, then displayed his token from his waist in front of them.

The two guards were taken aback, then quickly responded, clasping their fists, "Greetings, Forbidden Land Envoy."

However, a hint of doubt lingered in their eyes.

Because Qin An presented a copper identity token, indicating his status as Forbidden Land Copper Envoy, yet Forbidden Land Copper Envoys lacked the qualifications to enter large forbidden areas.

Thus, they were puzzled why Qin An had come to the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land and arrived here.

Qin An considered and said, "I’ve come here for a private matter, one permitted by Lord Bai Lingfeng, so could the two of you take me to meet your Clan Leader?"

The person on the left nodded slightly, "Please follow me inside, I’ll lead you in."

Upon hearing the name Bai Lingfeng, they immediately understood its significance and knew Qin An would unlikely use this name to deceive.

Few dare to use that name fraudulently.

Without dawdling, Qin An followed behind this person into the city.

After stepping into the city, what came into sight was an impressive street.

The bustling atmosphere here seemed even greater than that of the Celestial Cloud Path. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The guide, seeing Qin An’s surprise, explained with a smile, "Though the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land lies within the Celestial Cloud Path, it has independently carved out its own space, different from other large forbidden areas."

"Thus, the size of the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land is unmatched by many large forbidden areas. Indeed, if the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land could be accessed beyond this place, it would become another Celestial Cloud Path."

Qin An nodded slightly, "Its prosperity is impressive, especially considering it’s just one side of humanity’s forces, not counting the demon pseudo-gods or the original inhabitants."

The guide shook his head slightly at this comment, "The demon pseudo-god forces are about as strong as ours; as for the original inhabitants, even we seldom encounter them. They are considered the most stable element in the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land."

"Of course, some of the original inhabitants are restless and occasionally stir up events, although nothing too significant."

Qin An nodded, "I’ve heard a little about that. Is the Clan Leader just ahead?"

The guide’s gaze traversed ahead, settling on the tallest building and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Qin, please come with me; given Lord Bai’s instructions, the Clan Leader should be willing to meet you."
