Following the cracking on the ground, the entire dark wasteland eventually fell into the abyss by the precipe.

The battle between the Demon Race warriors and the allied forces of Mount Shu and the Judicature had long ended. As expected, it ended with a terrible blow to both sides. After killing and bleeding for a good hour, after their rage had dissipated in disproportion to the number of people they had killed, their intellect finally returned to their brain.

Li Jianqi, Nalan Rongruo, and the others were even more level-headed and practical. Once Ye Que was submerged in the sea of people and had no chance of returning alive, they decisively chose to swiftly break out of the siege and run out of the heart of the dark wasteland at top speed.

Even though Li Jianqi and Nalan Rongruo protested, the majority were unwilling to take the risk. Even if Ye Que was still alive, they might not be able to rescue him even if everyone went.

They might as well not go.

After walking out of the dark wasteland, the ground they stepped on was no longer a field of darkness.

A majestic forest of unbelievably lush green appeared before their eyes. The beautiful forest was filled with birdsongs, fragrant flowers, and gentle breezes. Even the biting-cold gale seemed to have vanished without a trace. Sunshine bathed the earth, making the place look like a paradise.

The sinking of the ground appeared to come to a complete standstill at this place.

If they looked up at this place from the direction of the abyss, they would realize that the ley lines of sovereignty of the Imperial Mausoleum had transformed into a massive cone-shaped structure suspended upside down. The land floated over the abyss, its flat ground now completely covered in the verdant and majestic forest. What was inside was a mystery.

There appeared to be quite a few paths leading into the forest, though none showed its end.

The white-clothed girl with an oil-paper umbrella was currently walking along one of the winding paths into the forest. Surprisingly, a tall and sturdy black bear was following her.

The black bears in this forest ought to be savage and violent. However, the one following the girl was even more obedient than a puppy. It was expending a great deal of effort in making sure its body was straight and its paws were crossed in front to carry a youngster.

A girl, a black bear, and an unconscious youngster journeyed at a neutral pace.

The girl had walked for more than half the day. She had found the black bear in the dark wasteland. Since she wanted to ask Ye Que some questions, naturally she had to bring him along. She refused to personally carry him on her back or in her embrace, so in the end, she resorted to this.

When the bear first carried Ye Que, he was breathing out more Qi than he was taking in. However, in the short span of half a day, he seemed to have mostly recovered with most of his external injuries gone.


The Snow Mountain in his Spiritual Sea was even stranger.

"To think someone can absorb the Spiritual Force in the air with such abandon."

"Well, nothing is too bizarre in this wide world!" The girl glanced at the youngster behind her. Others might not notice but she could see the dense layer of Spiritual Force gathered around Ye Que. In fact, she couldn't use the word "gathered" anymore.

The Spiritual Force, as if it had found some treasure, was fighting to be the first to pour into his body. While other people had to struggle to detect Spiritual Force, Ye Que was like Jiang Ziya angling fish.

Only the willing should take the bait!

The Spiritual Force was free to come and go!

The longer they traveled along this path, the more winding it became. The trees along the path were also increasingly strange and there were some that she hadn't even seen before.

Unknowingly, a rotten smell assailed their nostrils.

The white-clothed girl raised the handle of the oil-paper umbrella, revealing her incomparably delicate face. Her cool eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

"What's this smell?"

After passing another bent in the path, the scene before their eyes abruptly changed.

As far as they could see, countless coffins were unearthed from under the ancient trees along the path. The coffins sat upright, spilling the corpses and skeletons inside.

The corpses were turned upside down!

The stench was overwhelming!

The paradise-like scenery had turned into exceptionally strange in the blink of an eye. It was truly shocking.

Here, the ancient trees in the forest were so tall that they were high in the sky. Their branches and leaves were exceptionally exuberant, forming a natural and tight protective screen that made everyone's vision somewhat dark. Coupled with the stench of the corpses by the path, the Yin Qi here was particularly thick.

The white-clothed girl stopped in her tracks and muttered to herself before she continued walking. The black bear beside her followed closely behind.

However, at this moment, the branches and leaves of the ancient trees shook lightly and a pale green fine powder fell like the sprinkling of cherry blossoms. The moment the upside-down corpses inside the upright coffins came into contact with the fine powder, they began moving in an instant.

Moments later, the bodies resurrected and became walking corpses that had lost all consciousness. They began shaking and swaying out of the coffins.

Perhaps it was because the white-clothed girl near them was carrying the Qi of the living. The walking corpses immediately threw themselves at her.

"Venomous Corpses?"

"Or the Great Bugs?"

The white-clothed girl glanced at the walking corpses behind her in disgust.

"How dare these vile creatures to come out!"

The oil-paper umbrella with a plum blossom print and green-bamboo handle instantly folded shut.

She waved the handle in her hand and an almost tangible Desolate Force attacked the walking corpses behind her in an instant. The first wave of walking corpses was thrown into the air with a sweep of her umbrella. The rotten skeletons and flesh scattered all over the ground.

The ancient trees and coffins within several hundred meters.

Numerous walking corpses that crowded together.

What should have been a terrifying scene was like paper paste in front of the white-clothed girl. Never mind falling on her and tearing apart her flesh, the walking corpses couldn't even come within five meters of her.

The black bear carrying an unconscious Ye Que followed closely behind her.

They maintained the speed at which they had entered the forest of ancient trees. The girl didn't slow in her pace in the slightest.

After walking past the final coffin, the army of walking corpses behind her suddenly came to a standstill. Then seconds later, they unexpectedly returned to where they came from. It was as if nothing had happened.

"So it's a formation!"

"Is it an illusory formation or a spectral formation?"

"This ley lines of sovereignty of the Imperial Mausoleum is quite interesting."

The white-clothed girl scrunched up her nose and once again opened the oil-paper umbrella in her hand. She continued her journey calmly but when she stepped on the ground, wisps of gray gas overflowed from the small cracks in the ground.

In the beginning, it was nothing more than a layer of faint mist. However, in the blink of an eye, it turned into an exceptionally dense and mysterious smoke!

The girl raised an eyebrow after getting a whiff. "Miasma?"

Having made a guess, she adjusted the handle of her umbrella and waved it once again. A crevice appeared in the mysterious smoke. The gray gas didn't dissipate in the slightest or showed any sign of being driven away.

She couldn't see even the shadow of the tall ancient trees nearby and she was gradually losing her sense of direction as well.

Frowning, she stood in place without moving. Her expression was turning unsightly. She seemed to be racking her brain.

Right then, a weak voice came from the direction of the black bear that had remained still. "Qian represents Heaven; it means to cut. Unorthodoxy is heretical; heretical means carp. When the heart is calm, the Qi will obey and consolidate at every step."

"Try taking six steps to your left and three steps forward."

Ye Que was already awake when the walking corpses resurrected but couldn't summon even the slightest bit of energy. Forcefully using the Tantric Buddhism's Object Swap skill had taken all of the Divine Energy inside him. Coupled with his large-scale energy consumption and grapple with his enemies beforehand, Ye Que had depleted himself so badly that he was one step away from his tomb.

After opening his eyes, he was bewildered as to where he was. Why was a large black bear carrying him? And why was it following behind a little girl?! However, after careful thought, he determined that the girl had likely saved him.

Before he could regain complete consciousness, the "miasma" had obscured his vision.

Unlike the white-clothed girl, he instantly knew what it was. He made his earlier suggestion after carefully considering the matter and recalling their previous position.

However, things didn't turn out as he had hoped. His feet wasn't his own at the moment and the black bear refused to listen to him.

"No, you're walking in the wrong direction," Ye Que said, worried. Then, he began coughing violently.

Ye Que raised his voice. "You should walk to the left."

"Wrong, that's wrong. You won't be able to walk out in this direction. Why aren't you listening, girl?!" Ye Que continued to persuade the white-clothed girl. His forehead was beginning to sweat. "Could she be deaf?"

Suddenly, a wind-fist landed on the top of his head.

"Thud!"

In such a critical moment, the white-clothed girl unexpectedly knocked Ye Que out with a punch!

"That's a lot of nonsense from you!"

"Do you think I don't know how to walk?"
