Chapter 502: Chapter 374: The Four Great Wind Belts, Unknown World

“This time, Young Master Chu is here to familiarize himself with the environment, so the next time he comes, he won’t be at a loss,” Li Hen said to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu nodded, looked around, and asked with some confusion, “Why do I feel like this isn’t a place where Wind Element Soul Pets would inhabit? I can’t even feel a hint of wind here.”

Li Hen was momentarily stunned by Chu Mu’s question, but soon, he chuckled and explained, “I almost forgot to tell you, this is the Wind Belt area.”

Chu Mu didn’t understand Li Hen’s words; if this was the Wind Belt, why couldn’t he feel even a trace of wind?

“Young Master Chu, look at the horizon, do you sense anything unusual?” Li Hen pointed to the skyline and said.

Chu Mu looked where Li Hen was pointing, and all he saw was a blue sky.

“I don’t sense anything unusual.” Chu Mu shook his head, indicating he didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.

“Take a closer look using your Soul Sense,” Li Hen said.

Chu Mu unleashed his Soul Sense, allowing his vision to see further. At that moment, he faintly saw that the blue sky appeared to be hazily covered by a thin veil, making it seem not so clear and clean.

Chu Mu looked at the Earth Realm again, and finally noticed something off – he felt an inexplicable sense of spatial distortion in the horizon!

Chu Mu was gradually astonished. Distortions usually only occurred when the airflow was too strong, which meant that at the edge of the sky, there was an extremely powerful Wind Element energy. Not only did this energy cause the horizon to appear distorted when viewed from afar, but it also cast a layer of haze on the entire sky!

Suddenly, Chu Mu realized another issue – if the edge of the sky was a vast area of strong winds, then he should be able to feel the movement of the air, just like when he faced the Layered Heavens, where he could distinctly feel the formidable destructive power bursting out as an Intense Gale.

However, Chu Mu couldn’t feel the slightest hint of wind here. He remembered that in the true Wind Belt, there was only one place where no airflow changes could be detected – the center of the entire Wind Belt area!

“Are we in the center of the Wind Belt?” Chu Mu ventured to ask.

Li Hen nodded with a smile. When he first entered this place, he was stunned by this phenomenon, or rather, almost everyone who entered the Wind-binding Sanctuary for the first time would show an incredulous expression.

Indeed, Chu Mu was now at the very center of the Wind-binding Sanctuary!

This place had no hint of airflow and seemed like a hidden paradise. Sunlight was cast into the center of the Wind Belt due to the immense vastness of the wind, even allowing some ordinary plants to gradually grow despite the harsh conditions that would usually prevent them from thriving. There was little to no difference between this place and a normal natural world.

Of course, those who knew the truth were aware that this seemingly ordinary natural area was actually a unique wonderland of the entire World!

Chu Mu’s inner shock could hardly be described in words. If the Wind-binding Sanctuary was a swirling hurricane, then this vast Earth Realm that could not be seen in its entirety was the eye of the storm!

If the eye of the storm was like a vast land, then just how enormous was this Wind Belt?!

Chu Mu was thoroughly shocked. The existence of plants in the center of the Wind Belt meant that there was no lack of air here. However, gazing at the hazy veil on the horizon, Chu Mu couldn’t help but feel a sense of suffocation!

“We, the Soul Hall, have divided the entire Wind-binding Sanctuary into four zones: Windless Zone, Windy Zone, Strong Wind Zone, and Destructive Wind Zone. The Windless Zone is where we are right now, at the very center of the Wind Belt. Here, only a few tenacious plants reside, and there are almost no other living beings. Moving in any direction from here, you will gradually approach the Windy Zone. The Windy Zone is the inner wind belt of the Wind-binding Sanctuary, where the wind pressure is stronger, but creatures of a certain level of strength can still cross it. There are many Wind Element Soul Pets inhabiting it. Further out is the Strong Wind Zone, where the wind pressure is very intense; creatures at your level of strength shouldn’t be able to linger there. Finally, further in is the Destructive Wind Zone. In our entire Soul Hall, the number of experts capable of entering the Destructive Wind Zone can be counted,” Li Hen explained.

Windless Zone, Windy Zone, Strong Wind Zone, and Destructive Wind Zone – four zones make up the entire Wind-binding Sanctuary!

Commonsense could no longer explain this peculiar Wind Element structure. In Chu Mu’s understanding, the hurricane’s wind strength should increase from the outside to the inside. The normal sequence should be a Windy Zone, Strong Wind Zone, Destruction Wind Zone, and finally, a Windless Zone.

On the other hand, the wind strength from the inside to the outside should transition from Windless Zone to the strongest Destruction Wind Zone. However, from Li Hen’s explanation, this did not seem to be an ordinary hurricane.

“According to this wind belt structure, doesn’t this entire Wind-binding Sanctuary have seven wind belts? Beyond the Destruction Wind Zone, there is the Strong Wind Zone, followed by the Windy Zone, and finally, an even more vast space outside the Wind-binding Sanctuary,” Chu Mu speculated.

Once outside the Wind-binding Sanctuary, one could witness the grandness and magnificence of the entire sanctuary from the outside, even surpassing the existence of the Layered Sky Mysterious Realm!

Ting Lan and Li Hen couldn’t help but smile at Chu Mu’s words. Ting Lan’s beautiful eyes gazed at Chu Mu as she said with a faint smile, “Soul Hall has stood for a thousand years. To this day, no one has passed through the Destruction Wind Zone. It’s not that we haven’t guessed, but considering the limits of our human capabilities, there are only four wind belts. Beyond the wind belts, no one knows whether the world extends infinitely or if it doesn’t exist at all…”

Chu Mu was certain that there was a new world beyond the Wind-binding Zone! The infinite blue sky was proof of that, and the sunlight that came from an unknown source also hinted that there was definitely a brand-new space beyond the Wind-binding Sanctuary!!

“In the Windy Zone, we still have visibility, but after entering the Strong Wind Zone, our vision becomes extremely limited. In the Destruction Wind Zone, we can’t see anything at all. Since ancient times, scholars have had difficulty explaining why we can see blue sky and sunlight while standing in the Windless Zone. In the end, one of the scholars posited that it might be similar to the mirage effect in the desert. The intense wind belts may distort space and human vision, creating an illusion of sky and sunlight. This theory is closest to the truth, but it is not entirely valid, as plants in the Windless Zone genuinely grow and exist,” Li Hen explained, knowing that Chu Mu still had many doubts in his heart.

“Hehe, let’s not discuss this anymore. Let’s head to the Windy Zone,” Ting Lan said.

“Yeah, it’s quite fortunate to encounter a Wind-binding Spirit in the Windy Zone. Many members struggle to find one even after entering the Strong Wind Zone,” Li Hen continued.

Chu Mu was also aware that it was meaningless to think too much about it at present. Suppressing his strong desire for knowledge, he went with the other two towards the Windy Zone.

At first, Chu Mu could only comprehend the grandeur and power of the Wind-binding Sanctuary with his vision. However, as he walked towards the real Windy Zone from the Holy Territory Gate, he realized how vast the Windless Zone within the Wind-binding Sanctuary truly was. At least in terms of human vision and imagination, it was impossible to grasp the entire Wind-binding Sanctuary.

Oddly enough, as Chu Mu got closer to the Windy Zone, his vision started to become blurry. The clear blue sky and sunlight he saw earlier slowly disappeared, replaced with a hazy sky and chaotic, roaring winds echoing beside his ears. This was exactly what Li Hen had mentioned!

With wind whipping against his face, it was already painful, and this was just after stepping into the Windy Zone. If he continued walking, how much more intense would the wind be!

“I’ve made an indelible mark, let me look for it,” Ting Lan said, coiling up her hair when they entered the Windy Zone, revealing her beautiful face.

Once inside the wind belts, there were no reference points. As Li Hen said earlier, if one had followed a specific route, the second time they entered the area, they would certainly be thrown off course, eventually ending up utterly lost.

“This way,” Ting Lan pointed towards the increasingly hazy wind belt.

Li Hen was there as an accompaniment this time. He simply followed Ting Lan, not participating in any fights, unless a soul pet posed a danger to Ting Lan’s life.

Chu Mu, on the other hand, rode his Night Thunder Dream Beast and followed Li Hen. Unlike Li Hen, Chu Mu paid close attention to his surroundings as he entered deeper into the wind belt.

Gradually, Chu Mu noticed that some areas that had already become blurry were filled with hostile eyes. It seemed like they were just waiting for him to take a step in their direction before launching an attack.

Soul pets excelled in combat whenever the wind’s aura was more potent, and it seemed like the Wind Soul Pets in this area were much harder to deal with than those outside. Consequently, Chu Mu found that Ting Lan resolutely avoided disturbing any Wind Soul Pets unless absolutely necessary.

“The average strength of the Wind Element Soul Pets here is quite impressive!” Along the way, Chu Mu barely saw any Wind Soul Pets below the Eighth Stage. This was only in the outer area of the Windy Zone, so wouldn’t the Strong Wind Zone be filled with Tenth Rank Wind Soul Pets?!

“These soul pets can only be considered the lowest level lifeforms in the entire Wind-binding Sanctuary. Though members with level 7 titles can also enter the sanctuary, very few can acquire a Seven Diagram Sacred Beast in this area. Most of them catch other creatures,” Li Hen said.
