After fulfilling the agreement, Chu Xiu left the Secret Altar with Jiang Miaoyin. He released ghostly entities to collect items within the Soul Hall, while he looked at Jiang Miaoyin and said, "Can you ask the other two Heroic Spirits about their exploration status?"

"Do you suspect he’s deceiving us?" Jiang Miaoyin asked.

"It’s always good to make sure," Chu Xiu replied.

Jiang Miaoyin didn’t say much more and entered Abyss City to communicate.

About a quarter of an hour later, she opened her eyes.

"Exploration progress is quite secretive; the two seniors didn’t say much, but they indicated they haven’t found any clues to the place of heritage."

"The Soul Hall in their city was completely buried, and they only found a few special pieces of Equipment preserved by Extraordinary Power."

"As for whether there are survivors of the Exorcist Civilization, I asked them too. They were very surprised at my question and said they had no clues to provide."

Chu Xiu acknowledged, not feeling surprised.

The Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World has already been devoured by the Abyss. Even if there are survivors, they are like the Ancient Trials, completely sealed off in a separate space that doesn’t interact with the Outer World.

Finding such a space is too unlikely.

However, the information Jiang Miaoyin provided seems to indicate the Master of the Domain wasn’t lying. On the contrary, they were the lucky ones to encounter a ghost that could communicate and trade.

Chu Xiu took out the previous map. There were only five major cities marked. The actions of the other two Heroic Spirits were faster than theirs and should have already set out towards the remaining two cities.

If Chu Xiu wants to monopolize the resources, it would be better to check if the map provided by the Master of the Domain has any new cities.

While he pondered, tens of thousands of ghostly entities, with the cooperation of Instantaneous, collected the relatively well-preserved relics in the Soul Hall.

In total, there were only a dozen or so, all artifacts and Equipment with Extraordinary Power. However, due to the corrosion of time, they could only maintain their outward appearance, with their Tiers dropped to the Warrior Tier or even the Mortal Tier.

After the exchange, Chu Xiu successfully obtained a new map. He glanced at it and found two new cities, with vague routes leading to other tribes, roughly indicating directions.

In addition, the Master of the Domain also showcased his own Equipment and artifacts—dozens of King Tiers, hundreds of General Tiers! Although there was no [Legend], their Quality was not low.

In this Domain, time has not only failed to take away their Power but has instead enriched the foundation of these pieces of Equipment and artifacts.

Lastly, there was the Artifact leading to the Blessed Land.

This was an oddly shaped skull, seemingly inscribed with some peculiar Restriction. It would float in the air without falling even if let go.

Once the Restriction is lifted, it will turn in one direction; according to the boy, that is where the Blessed Land of heritage lies.

Chu Xiu took the skull and left the city in the indicated direction.

Jiang Miaoyin closely followed him.

Originally, Chu Xiu didn’t want to take her, but the girl pleaded pitifully, saying if she left Chu Xiu, she would be doomed if targeted by the Murder Ghost, hoping that Chu Xiu would let her stay given her hard work, if not her merits.

She also promised to continue providing reconnaissance services for Chu Xiu and keep him updated with the latest information from the other three big families.

After thinking it over, Chu Xiu agreed.

And it proved that the girl’s concerns were not unfounded.

Almost the moment they left the Soul Hall, Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense caught the presence of a figure hiding in the ruins.

"Truly persistent like a lingering Yang Soul," he sighed lightly.

Yet Chu Xiu did not take action to slay it.

In fact, this was a perfect opportunity to shake off the Murder Ghost. As long as the Spirit Puppet was killed, the Murder Ghost would find it hard to track their steps.

However, by this point, Chu Xiu had quietly taken a liking to the amazing Talent of the opponent, so he simply let it follow.

Sitting on Jiang Miaoyin’s Wraith Carriage, the two broke through the sound barrier instantly, rushing toward the direction indicated by the skull.

Soon, Chu Xiu discovered something interesting. The skull’s creation was quite ingenious—besides its nose tip pointing in a fixed direction, there was a display on its skull, like a charging bar that kept shortening, seemingly indicating the distance to the target.

About half an hour later, they made a rough estimate that they were about 2,400 li from the destination.

Such a distance on land could be covered in less than a quarter of an hour. Unfortunately, in this intricate underground, not only do the roads built by the Exorcist Civilization twist and turn, but there are also many collapses, with hardly any preserved segments. The two had to constantly expend Mana to forge a path, greatly slowing down their progress.

After spending an entire day, they finally reached their destination.

"Boom!"

Chu Xiu extended his right hand, the surging Demonic Qi transformed into a giant fist, blasting open the rock blocking their path.

With the loud explosion, a dark valley appeared before the two.

It was more a massive Abyss than a valley, and looking down revealed only pitch darkness; even with Chu Xiu’s King Tier vision, the bottom couldn’t be seen.

As soon as they approached, a bone-chilling wind blew from the opening, like myriad tiny insects crawling under their skin.

"Looks like we found the right place; the concentration of Yin Qi here is several times higher than elsewhere!" Jiang Miaoyin said with visible joy.
