Netherworld?

There’s trouble!

After hearing the pointers from Mu Yao of the Chaos Spring Wood, Lv Zhong couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, “Indeed, it’s a shared space!

It’s just way too unfair for those from the lower world…”

He didn’t mention any of this to Mu Cangqiong beside him, but after entering this space, Lv Zhong became even more cautious.

Lv Zhong and Mu Cangqiong quickly discovered that this space imposed strong restrictions on mental power and Spiritual Sense.

However, the restrictions on Immortal Sense were slightly weaker.

Even so, the range of Lv Zhong’s Immortal Sense was no more than a hundred kilometers.

Mu Cangqiong’s range of mental power stretched to about a hundred and eighty kilometers.

The reason her range was broader than Lv Zhong’s was due to her millions of years of cultivation, which had amassed immense mental power.

As for the others who entered this area with Lv Zhong and company, their sensing abilities basically did not exceed seventy kilometers.

Unconcerned with these limitations, Lv Zhong summoned some Alien Insects under his command and sent them scattering about to act as his eyes and ears.

With the Insect Clan Crown at hand, Lv Zhong could easily integrate the vision and senses of the other Alien Insects, infinitely amplifying his own “sensing power.”

“Lv Zhong, you’re such an abnormality, to actually raise so many disgusting insects?”

As Lv Zhong carelessly released his cultivated Alien Insects in front of her, Mu Cangqiong frowned in disgust.

Ever since she found out she had been drained of millions of years of life essence by the Life-devouring Insect, she felt particularly averse to all insect-like creatures.

If it were anyone else releasing so many insects in front of her today, she would have definitely annihilated that person and all the insects.

“Sister Cangqiong, you are overthinking it,” said Lv Zhong with a faint smile, shaking his head, “What’s most disgusting is not the insects, but the human heart!”

Although Mu Cangqiong agreed with what Lv Zhong said, she still coldly snorted, “Hmph, in my eyes, they are disgusting.

If it weren’t for you releasing them, I would have wiped them out with a single slap…”

“Hehe, let’s not talk about this anymore.

It’s more important for us to hurry on our way!

Hopefully, we can quickly reach the center of this space, to that tomb…” Lv Zhong said calmly, smiling as he started to speed forward.

Seeing this, Mu Cangqiong quickly followed suit.

This space is vast and boundless.

Having been the site of the fall of so many legendary behemoths, it is certainly immeasurably dangerous.

It was better for the two of them to be together; each could watch over the other.

With the vision and sensing abilities of countless Alien Insects to amplify his own, Lv Zhong’s consciousness could now monitor movements within a radius of a thousand kilometers.

Only then did Lv Zhong discover, with shock, just how expansive the swamp to which they had been randomly teleported was—it was simply endless.

If it were in the outer world, this would definitely be a very dangerous place, occupying a vast expanse of land, filled with a significant amount of poisonous miasma that never dispersed throughout the entire space.

Here, there were no animals or even plants in existence.

You could say this was an utterly barren place.

The entire space was quiet and dim.

There was not the slightest sign of life anywhere.

But what was strange was that there were no fallen behemoth carcasses present in the swamp.

Across the swamp, many areas were submerged under a black water surface, and on that vast expanse of black water, there seemed to be numerous ripples and undulations.

Those water ripples were the only things that faintly gave this swamp some sense of movement.

Traveling with light body techniques, leaping from solid ground, Mu Cangqiong suddenly felt uneasy and curiously glanced at Lv Zhong, whose expression was as impassive as an ancient well, and asked, “Eh, Lv Zhong, do you feel there’s something wrong with this place?”

“What’s wrong?” Lv Zhong rolled his eyes at Mu Cangqiong and said annoyedly, “What’s wrong is very wrong, indeed.”

“Tell me about it!” Mu Cangqiong’s beautiful eyes rested on Lv Zhong.

After millions of years spent in secluded cultivation, she was very reserved and rarely spoke.

Even towards her own people—the Elf Race—it was the same.

But with Lv Zhong, she seemed to talk more.

This was mainly because Lv Zhong had made a good first impression on her.

Of course, the most fundamental reason was that she had had a brief exchange through Lv Zhong with the Chaos Spring Wood behind him.

She felt a subconscious closeness to this man in front of her, who had gained the approval of the Chaos Spring Wood.

This was also why, last time on the Angel Clan’s Holy Light Star, she openly thought about Lv Zhong being behind the scene, snatching all of the Angel Clan’s treasures without keeping it a secret.

Lv Zhong spread his hands lazily, “What’s there to say?

This space, being the burial space of an ancient deity, is bound to be extremely dangerous.

The countless mythical behemoth corpses we sensed earlier are proof of that.

Now we’ve traveled so long, and not even one behemoth corpse has been seen; isn’t that wrong?

Besides, this space is filled with a heavy Death Qi, and there is a strong stench of decay within, indicating that many beings have fallen in this swamp.

And yet, we see none of them, which could only mean that the corpses have all been submerged by the swamp.

Therefore, the area beneath the swamp must be extremely dangerous…”

Before he finished speaking, a few Independent Immortals who were moving quickly using mundane world light-body techniques two kilometers ahead were suddenly swallowed by a circle of ripples in the black waters of the swamp without any reaction.

“Ah…” Mu Cangqiong let out a cry of alarm, only to realize that just beneath them, on the surface of the swamp, were countless barely discernible whirlpools making gentle ripples.

These black whirlpools were scattered across the surface of the deathly still black water, and without careful observation, it would be very difficult to detect their presence.

What was even more eerie was that these black whirlpools had no energy fluctuations, yet as soon as someone tried to lightly step on them using lightness skills, they would be directly swallowed up.

Sensing that another two Independent Immortals had accidentally met their demise, and furthermore, these two were 4th Tribulation Independent Immortals, simply swallowed by the black whirlpools without any power to resist, Mu Cangqiong couldn’t help but exclaim in a subdued voice, “My God, you can’t fly high in this space, and with these mysterious black water vortexes, they’re absolutely super deadly weapons.

Indeed, it’s dangerous!”

“Be careful, try to tread on solid ground as much as possible,” Lv Zhong instructed indifferently, advancing alongside Mu Cangqiong.

With the precedent of several people’s demise before them, everyone else became more cautious, attempting to sense solid ground before leaping across.

No longer daring to touch the swamp’s black water.

The danger that came with the pursuit of knowledge forced everyone to proceed with utmost caution.

Those who entered the Hongmeng Dragon Tomb were all of substantial strength, at the very least, they were practitioners at the Independent Immortal realm of the 2nd Tribulation, and they were exceedingly experienced and knowledgeable.

After dialing up their caution to two hundred percent, the death rate began to decrease.

Among those who entered this area with Lv Zhong and Mu Cangqiong were people from the Sector of Magical Techniques, the Cultivation World, as well as those from the Black Demon World.

However, in this extremely odd swamp, everyone was perplexed, with no heavenly materials or earthly treasures to vie for—everyone coexisted peacefully, and no one had the desire to fight.

Now, everyone’s most urgent wish was to get out of this swamp.

Time stealthily passed as everyone carefully made their way.

After three days, Lv Zhong, Mu Cangqiong, one 5th Tribulation Independent Demon, and one 6th Tribulation Independent Demon arrived at a small island first.

This small island was right in the center of the swamp.

On it were infinite “trees”!

Of course, these trees were not alive, but rather “petrified trees.”

Clusters upon clusters of these “petrified trees” on the small island were as crystal-clear as jade, almost lifelike.

Monstrous and vast spiritual energy was stored within them.

“My God, these…

these are all ancient spirit trees, they…

they’ve actually been petrified…” the 6th Tribulation Independent Demon exclaimed in shock, his eyes brimming with a glimmer of greed.

Petrified trees are trees that became quickly buried underground millions of years ago (at least several tens of thousands of years), and their woody parts were replaced by silicon dioxide (SiO2) from the groundwater, retaining the wood’s structure and texture.

Their colors range from earthy yellow, pale yellow, yellow-brown, red-brown, gray-white to gray-black, with polished surfaces that can have a glassy luster, being opaque or slightly translucent.

Some petrified woods have a jade-like texture due to the nature of the fossilized material, which is why they are also referred to as petrified jade or silica wood.

Silica wood is formed when trees from hundreds of millions of years ago are buried underground for various reasons; chemicals such as silicon dioxide, iron sulfide, calcium carbonate and others around the tree trunk get into the wood through groundwater, replacing the original wooden components while retaining the tree’s shape, resulting in petrified plant fossils…

Yet the petrified trees here were extremely magical, as their original bodies were ancient spirit trees, containing vast amounts of spiritual energy, mostly that of innate immortal spirit qi.

Generally speaking, it’s rare for ancient spirit trees to become petrified, as they might develop spiritual intellect and start cultivating as demons.

And since they could absorb huge amounts of innate immortal spirit qi in the ancient times, they would unlikely petrify under natural conditions.

But on this small island, an astonishing large number of petrified trees had appeared.

That left only one possibility: these ancient spirit trees were transformed into petrified trees by top-tier powerhouses using superior divine powers.

Doing so, not only were the innate immortal spirit qi perfectly preserved within them, but these trees also condensed their essence over countless years of sedimentation.

These petrified trees, without a doubt, were treasures among treasures.

The value of each petrified tree was no less than that of a medium-grade immortal mine in the Immortal World.

And on this island, there were at least eighty thousand ancient spirit tree fossils.

This…

how immense was that wealth?

It’s believed that owning such a collection of spirit tree fossils would confer a fortune no less than that of an Emperor in the Immortal World.

“Haha, this is mine, all mine…”

The 6th Tribulation Independent Demon laughed wildly in excitement, a thought crossed his mind, and he immediately brought out his magical treasure, blasting it towards a patch of ancient petrified trees.

“We’ll see who can grab them faster—” Elsewhere, the 5th Tribulation Independent Demon, whose knowledge was not inferior, recognized the origins of these petrified trees too.

Seeing the Independent Demon’s actions, his eyes filled with Dark Qi, an eerie Blood Knife, radiating skyward animosity, was hurled towards another cluster of petrified trees.

Mu Cangqiong’s expression changed when she saw this and hurriedly said to Lv Zhong, “Lv Zhong, these ancient spirit tree fossils are great treasures, hurry and grab them—”

Before she could finish her sentence, she too dashed forward.

A mysterious green bracelet suddenly emerged from within her, rapidly enlarging and enveloping a large cluster of petrified trees.

“Fighting over treasures?

You’re all fools!” Lv Zhong laughed strangely, and his entire being vanished into thin air…
