Qi Blood Darkening can only persist for five days. I have to find that divine embryo in that area as quickly as possible, but no matter what, when my ti is up, I have to return. Moreover, if I’m gone from the capital for too long, soone might start getting suspicious! Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
Even though he had made ample preparations before leaving, such as having Miyasa Ayaka disguise herself as him and show his face from ti to ti, Wang Chong knew that it would be impossible to deceive Genesis Supre over the long term.
Even if this man couldn’t enter the capital, he still had other ways of investigating.
Wang Chong did not have as much ti as it seed.
Swoosh!
Once he was about ten li away, Wang Chong stopped holding back. His Stellar Energy blazed as he used the Shadow Fiend Art to vanish into void, advancing into the north with astonishing speed.
At this point, even if one were within one thousand feet of Wang Chong, one would find it very hard to see Wang Chong.
The Shadow Fiend Art was even faster than the Starlight Step, making him nigh undetectable. But still, sothing had been perceived, and ntal waves slowly scanned the area. However, they did not find Wang Chong.
Several hundred li away, Wang Chong had already successfully escaped, and he placed all his focus on the divine embryo.
As ti passed, the realm was calm and peaceful.
In the King of Foreign Lands Residence, Miyasa Ayaka, the new ‘King of Foreign Lands’, made occasional appearances, and Genesis Supre’s n seemingly noticed nothing strange.
Around two days later, Wang Chong reached an extrely barren and desolate region between the capital and Beiting.
Precipitous peaks rose from the earth like blades and swords, vast and magnificent, their slopes covered in lush forests. It all exuded an extrely primitive atmosphere.
Such heaven-piercing mountains, grandiose and bursting with mystery, were not uncommon in the realm.
But if one looked carefully, one would discover that near the base of the mountain, concealed under the forest canopy, was a strange forest of black stones.
The stones were randomly distributed like scattered swords, but they were also like burning flas that were difficult to approach.
The Mountains of Oblivion!
This was the na given to these stones by the Beiting Protectorate!
Though these mountains were lush, the strange and craggy stones at their base made it impossible for warhorses to get close, as they would easily get injured. Not even pasturing was possible, so both the Tang and Hu ignored this region.
The region was also extrely remote. Whether one was coming from the north, south, east, or west, whether one was engaging in comrcial activity or mobilizing soldiers, one would never have to pass through this area.
...Unless one intentionally ca to find it!
Even the na of the mountains had been chosen very casually.
In truth, few people knew this na, because nobody really cared.
But Wang Chong knew the na. In the apocalyptic era, these randomly distributed black rocks that looked like tongues of fla earned the mountains the na of ‘Mountains of Black Fla’!
In the apocalyptic era, it had served as a gathering place for refugees in the north, though humanity later retreated to the south.
“This is the place!”
As Wang Chong looked at those strange stones, his hair tossed around by the chilly winds, a smile crept onto his lips.
“Finding the Black Fla Mountains is the sa as finding the divine embryo!”
Bang!
The mont he arrived, he sent a vast amount of Psychic Energy radiating out into his surroundings and then surging into the ground.
The Black Fla Mountains covered an imnse area of seventy to eighty li.
Wang Chong had not participated in that earthshaking battle, so he only knew that the divine embryo was beneath the Black Fla Mountains, not its exact location.
In addition, the ground here was too tough to physically search, so he could only use Psychic Energy to search for the divine embryo’s location.
Buzz!
Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy searched under the ground, and all he could ‘see’ was darkness. One thousand feet, two thousand feet, three thousand feet... Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy probed deeper and deeper. In a few monts, he had already gone down ten thousand feet.
But the only thing under the various kinds of soil and loose rock was solid lithosphere.
After searching the entire area, Wang Chong did not discover anything special.
“It’s still not enough. I have to go deeper!”
Wang Chong’s eyes flashed, and he imdiately strengthened his Psychic Energy.
A few monts later, Wang Chong had delved down to a depth of twenty thousand feet.
Any deeper and I’ll hit the granite layer! Wang Chong said to himself.
Ordinary warriors rarely paid much attention to the underground world, but Wang Chong knew the composition of the earth like the back of his hand. Farther down, the soil would be replaced entirely by firm rock.
As expected, a few monts later, Wang Chong sensed hard and tough rock appearing in his senses.
Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy clearly began to significantly slow as it passed through, but it still moved at an extrely fast pace.
Thirty thousand feet!
Forty thousand feet!
Sixty thousand feet!
Still, Wang Chong turned up nothing.
Sixty thousand feet!
This was nearly twenty thousand ters, already surpassing the depth of the Origin Immortal Cave. Even a Subtle realm expert like Wang Chong would start suffering from oxygen deficiency at this depth.
Wang Chong creased his brow and called out, “Nightmare Beast, help search!”
Bang!
As Wang Chong called out, the Nightmare Beast Core trembled, and then a torrent of Psychic Energy howled out and surged into the depths of the earth.
Two hundred thousand feet!
In a flash, the Nightmare Beast’s Psychic Energy reached a depth of two hundred thousand feet, equivalent to sixty thousand ters.
This depth was enough to make almost anyone despair.
The strength displayed by the Nightmare Beast was truly astonishing.
Even though Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy was far above that of his peers, he was but a minor character compared to the Nightmare Beast.
This was the strength of the Nightmare Beast!
“How is it?” Wang Chong asked the Nightmare Beast.
A few monts later, the Nightmare Beast’s voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind. “Master, there’s nothing, only darkness! The surroundings are just rocks.”
At the sa ti, Wang Chong’s soul linked with the Nightmare Beast, and he was able to see the scene two hundred thousand feet beneath the surface.
Just as the Nightmare Beast had said, it was nothing but darkness and dense rock.
Moreover, this rock was as dense as steel, different from the rock Wang Chong was used to. However, even though the Nightmare Beast’s Psychic Energy covered a range of several hundred li, far greater than the area covered by the Black Fla Mountains, there was still no sign of the divine embryo.
“What’s going on? So deep but still no sign of the divine embryo?”
Wang Chong’s brow furrowed even tighter.
Planning was one thing, but actually probing the earth was sothing else.
Wang Chong had worried before that the divine embryo might have been discovered early by so supre expert, making this entire project futile.
No!
In his last life, during the apocalyptic era, Wang Chong had been curious as to how the divine embryo’s intense energy ripples had never been noticed. Why had people only noticed during the apocalypse?
But now, after delving down two hundred thousand feet into the earth in search of the divine embryo, Wang Chong imdiately knew that finding the divine embryo would not be as simple as he imagined.
At the very least, finding its general location would not suddenly make it appear right at his fingertips!
Though he was sowhat depressed, he remained cool and collected.
Impossible! There’s no reason for the divine embryo to not be here!
There are only two possibilities. The first is that my reincarnation changed far too much, even affecting the divine embryo so that it didn’t appear in this region!
The other possibility is that the divine embryo is here, but it’s buried even deeper. This would also explain why no one has ever realized the existence of sothing as powerful as the divine embryo!
One thought after another flitted through Wang Chong’s mind as his hair danced in the wind.
The divine embryo was his best weapon against Genesis Supre and the entire Celestial God Organization. He could not lose it, as he no longer had the ti to slowly cultivate.
The worst scenario was that the divine embryo had disappeared due to the changes in history. But if the divine embryo was buried even deeper...
Wang Chong could already sense the pressure that ca from the frightening depth of two hundred thousand feet, sixty thousand ters!
At this depth, even the Nightmare Beast was beginning to slowly approach its limit. Even the Nightmare Beast would find it hard to go much deeper.
Wang Chong instantly found himself facing a difficult decision.
Even if the divine embryo was right below him, it would probably be past a depth of two hundred thousand feet, and not even the Nightmare Beast could search that depth.
This was a formidable natural barrier!
“Nightmare Beast, lend a hand! I’m going to think of a way to find the divine embryo!” Wang Chong said.
He had gone to great lengths to have the Stone of Destiny unlock this Qi Blood Darkening ability to deceive Genesis Supre. If he returned empty-handed, he would live forever under the shadow of Genesis Supre and the n in black.
That would an that Wang Chong had failed.
He could not accept this.
Buzz!
A mont later, Wang Chong closed his eyes and used one of the abilities he had learned from the High Priest’s ‘Forbidden Art Sea’.
“Origin Spirit!”
Wang Chong’s hands ford a seal, upon which a dark-green and ancient symbol appeared in his mind. Psychic Energy began to congregate and condense onto this symbol as if it was a black hole.
After so ti, a strange chant imbued with the mysterious principles governing the heavens and earth rang out:
Wang Chong’s mind exploded with light, and a mont later, Wang Chong imagined his soul breaking free of its chains, upon which a golden ball of soul energy erged from his head.
This was no longer his imagination!
This was reality!
The golden ball of light floated above Wang Chong’s head like a miniature sun.
