Zen walked along the edge of the crater for a while, but he didn't find anything special.
He then narrowed his eyes and, with his spiritual sense, searched the surrounding area within dozens of miles.
Except for the fact that when part of his spiritual sense expanded into the forbidden land, it hit an invisible wall and bounced back, he found nothing unusual.
After searching for a while more, he took out the Stone Mouse's corpse from his space ring.
Once the corpse was activated, the image appeared in his mind again.
As he ntally moved to the center of the image, he physically walked over to the sa exact place that was in the center of the image.
“It's the sa place,” Zen said, feeling confused. Normally, when a rare creature like the Stone Mouse was born, it would make quite a scene. Traces of its birth would linger behind even if it wasn't physically present yet.
So why couldn't he see the slightest difference in this place? It looked like absolutely nothing out of the ordinary had happened here.
Had he co too late? Had the body of the reborn Stone Mouse already been taken away?
Just as he was wondering about this, a dozen beams of light crossed his spiritual sense.
“There are people coming.”
Zen imdiately retracted his spiritual sense and looked down.
Right below him, there was a crack that spread from the edge of the crater. He took a step forward and entered the crack.
“The Truth of Cultivation Nature! Hide!”
As he uttered these words, his breath and aura disappeared, and his physical form completely lted into his surroundings.
In the perception of others, he would look no different from a stone.
Not long after he had hidden in plain sight, more than a dozen people flew up to this area. One of the strong n sniffed the air and said, “The sll from the Abyss Demon Region is disgusting!”
“It's just the sll of sulfur. It's not a big deal. Did you notice a streak of spiritual sense just now?” another man said in a low voice.
“No.”
“I didn't feel it, either.”
“Can there be anyone else in this place? Leland, you are too sensitive!”
The rest of them didn't know what Leland was talking about.
“I sensed it, but it only lasted for a mont before disappearing... Was I just imagining it?” Leland murmured, more to himself than anyone else.
However, Zen, who was hiding in the crack, could clearly hear the whole conversation and was a little taken aback.
This Leland guy seed to have really keen senses. Zen wondered what his cultivation base could be.
If these people were just top-rank True Gods, Zen would have nothing to worry about.
In fact, he was not even afraid of consummate True Gods unless they were from the powerful clans on the Floating Islands, because only they had Holy Beings to back them up.
However, the probability of him running into such a situation was very low.
“Well, let's not think too much about it. We should stick to our own business. Caron Lu, where is the place you ntioned?” Leland continued in a low voice.
With a muffled voice, Caron replied, “We're standing there! I set up a magic array to hide that cave.”
A few dozen days ago, he had gone to the Evil Ghost Region to capture ghost rhinoceroses.
As their horns were an indispensable material for the refinent of many top-grade pills, they were extrely valuable and as such very popular among all the powerful clans and first and second-tier families.
In the current climate, the horns of a ghost rhinoceros could be sold for about twenty divine might coins.
It was not easy for a True God to earn divine might coins outside of venturing the forbidden lands. Killing ghost rhinoceroses and getting their horns was one of the best ways to earn coins.
But as the number of True Gods hunting ghost rhinoceroses had increased, there were fewer and fewer ghost rhinoceroses in the Evil Ghost Region.
Last ti, Caron had not encountered any ghost rhinoceros at all, so he had ventured deeper and deeper into the Evil Ghost Region. But instead of finding a ghost rhinoceros, he had stumbled upon a strange phenonon at the edge of the Abyss Demon Region.
After flying to this place, he had found a cave that had collapsed here.
He hadn't been able to figure out what was under the cave, but judging from that weird phenonon, he was sure that sothing had turned up.
It could be a rare treasure or a rare beast.
As a top-rank True God with low strength, Caron hadn't dared to explore the cave alone.
Therefore, he had set up a magic array to hide the cave instead.
Although he did not have outstanding combat abilities, he was extrely proficient in setting up arrays. His array had even managed to deceive Zen.
“It's just a magic array?”
Hearing what Caron said, Zen pursed his lips. He couldn't believe that he had been careless enough to be fooled by a magic array.
At this point, he could not help but carefully poke his head out from a corner of the crack. As his eyes swept over those True Gods, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“One Demi-holy Being and two consummate True Gods!” Shock appeared in Zen's eyes.
In the divine land, there were very few Demi-holy Beings. Only a few of the first-tier clans had them.
Naturally, Zen had never imagined that he would et a Demi-holy Being today.
Just as Zen was sizing them up, the purple-robed Demi-holy Being turned his head in Zen's direction as if he had sensed sothing.
His eyes, as sharp as swords, swept over the crack not far away.
But the crack was obviously empty.
Feeling that sothing was odd, the Demi-holy Being released his spiritual sense but found nothing.
“Leland, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so suspicious?” a middle-aged man in white asked with a smile.
The Demi-holy Being was Leland, the lord of a region.
So of the first-tier clans were too weak to have a Floating Island in the Ti Sea, so they could only expand their own territory and ultimately occupy the entire region.
But the powerful clans on the Floating Islands were dismissive of such clans.
For example, after the Han Clan had beco a powerful clan with their own Floating Island, they hadn't intervened in the developnt of the regions under their rule. They did not completely control the regions, but gave a lot of resources to the families attached to them.
Knowing that it was impossible for him to beco a Holy Being or make his clan a powerful one, Leland claid to be the lord of the region he lived in.
“I keep feeling like soone is spying on us, but it seems that I'm just imagining things,” Leland said. He did not expect that a consummate True God could be hiding right under his nose.
At this mont, Caron walked three circles around an open space, and then he heavily struck the ground with his palms.
A dark magenta line quickly spread along the path Caron had walked, forming a big circle on the ground. Until now, everything inside this circle had been condensed by the magic array. Now that Caron had withdrawn the magic array, a large cave appeared.
Leland stared at the entrance of the cave for a mont, and then he entered it.
Without any hesitation, the two consummate True Gods and over ten top-rank True Gods followed him into the cave.
After a while, Zen slowly climbed out of the crack and frowned. “The cave must have been built for the Stone Mouse. Unexpectedly, they have found it ahead of . What's more troubleso is that one of them is a Demi-holy Being!”
After waiting at the entrance of the cave for a while, Zen quietly slipped inside.
