However, a thousand years had passed, reality had become game-like, and even with Wang Mu's current Cultivation, the moment he entered the Eight Desolate Netherworld, he could only feel the darkness around him transforming—as if sprouting tendrils, rushing in from all directions—leaving him unable to sense anything.

Nonetheless, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator of high stature, even if his Divine Sense was temporarily unable to penetrate the darkness, his various Divine Skills and spells were not for show.

Wang Mu crouched down, his palm lightly touching the ground.

Within his body, the Nascent Soul executed a spell, and beneath the Immortal Infant, the Nine Heavens Resting Soil instantly transformed into a long dragon, enveloping his entire body.

In an instant, all the minute details of his surroundings coalesced into three-dimensional patterns, appearing within his Sea of Consciousness.

Nine Heavens Resting Soil combined with the Emperor's Earth Technique is truly practical…

This expanse of dark earth…

At this moment, the Emperor Earth Secret combined with the Resting Soil, even in the Eight Desolate Netherworld, provided Wang Mu with something akin to a mini-map in a game.

It was still shrouded in darkness, yet he could sense energy fluctuations, which was crucial.

It's just that it consumes spiritual power quickly…

This place is indeed troublesome…

In the darkness, Spiritual Energy was extremely scarce, making recovery in such a place unlikely.

Luckily, Wang Mu had plenty of Elixirs on him, so he had no worries.

However, if he were to stay in this kind of place for a long time, his Realm would likely begin to slowly decline.

Because the range revealed by the Resting Soil was limited, he couldn't move too quickly, or he might miss something.

This place shouldn't have any Travel spots, right?

Wang Mu thought for a moment and then tried to sense his surroundings.

[Travel: Eight Desolate Netherworld (!)]

Wang Mu was startled.

This place actually has Travel events? This place is all darkness, with no detailed locations. Even if something did appear, wouldn't it be hard to find?

After some thought, Wang Mu still spent some Action Points.

Just now, having performed Dual Cultivation externally, Wang Mu had practiced his Finger Skill and Kissing Skill, so his Action Points were still ample.

However, after this expenditure, the status changed to [Travel: Eight Desolate Netherworld (-)], but nothing else appeared.

But, within the terrain revealed by the Resting Soil, Wang Mu discovered a faintly glowing spot.

Could it be that it appeared directly on this?

This Golden Finger… could it actually synchronize with a Cultivation Technique?

After some thought, Wang Mu prepared to set out.

Suddenly, one of the Divine Light Mirrors in his Sea of Consciousness stirred.

What is this little Fairy up to now?

Wang Mu frowned, moving cautiously and carefully forward. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The power of the Dark Alien Race in the Dark Border was no joke.

In the game, even when the protagonist emerged after a year and restored his Power, it was still very difficult to defeat the Dark Alien Race in the Dark Border.

In theory, in the game, only the female lead could overcome them...

Wang Mu activated the Divine Light Mirror.

If he were to take out the Divine Light Mirror, the light it emitted would still be swallowed by the darkness, and he would be unable to see any information.

However, the Divine Light Mirror was activated with Divine Sense, so he could just input and communicate using it. There was no need to use his physical eyes to see any information.

[Moon God: BEEP BEEP BEEP! Quick, tell me the rest of the story. I can't wait!]

[Wang Mu: I really don't have time right now…]

[Moon God: I've noticed that your Romantic destiny has returned. Not bad, eh, Little Cultivator? You managed to rescue them so quickly?]

[Wang Mu: …]

[Moon God: You Little Cultivator, you're too profit-oriented. If there's no little sweetener, you won't do anything. But I have a secret for you.]

[Wang Mu: What secret?]

[Moon God: It's still about those Emotional Threads of yours. Do you want to hear it? If you want to hear it, then tell me the continuation, and it would be better if you finished it in one go. If I'm satisfied, I'll tell you.]

Wang Mu was speechless.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Mu checked the location in his Sea of Consciousness.

Because he had to proceed with caution in the Dark Border, his speed was not fast, making this an opportunity to tell the continuation.

After all, the secret provided by the Moon God was quite significant.

And besides, the familiar surroundings stirred something within him; Wang Mu also felt an urge to confide.

[Moon God: Hurry up! Stop dawdling, you flirtatious Little Cultivator! You don't want your Taoist couple to run into trouble, do you?]

Wang Mu remained silent.

[Moon God: After the girl killed the boy who had turned into a giant Dark Alien Race creature—if you really can't manage more, just tell me that part…]

This was too agonizing.

「Moon Palace.」

These days, the Moon God had been restless.

She didn't find the story particularly captivating; it was simply being stuck at this point that made her uneasy.

If that Little Cultivator were in front of her, she would definitely give him a piece of her mind!

Besides, now that her mother had taken back the Divine Light Mirror, she wouldn't be keeping such close tabs on this Little Cultivator anymore.

[Wang Mu: Okay.]

Wang Mu sighed lightly, recalling the plot from the game and slowly narrating it to the Moon Palace Fairy while traversing the Dark Border...

「----」

In the endless darkness, BOOM—

A sound like a massive collapse echoed.

A creature of the Dark Alien Race, towering like a mountain, knelt and then fell to the ground, gradually losing its life force.

The girl's palm gripped a saber.

The alien blood flowed down the razor-sharp edge, dripping onto the ground.

DRIP, DROP, DRIP, DROP…

The sound was clear and crisp.

In the darkness, it was a beautiful melody.

However, looking at the relic dropping from the bosom of the massive alien...

The girl was somewhat perplexed.

She had been lured by the Foreign King for many days. She strongly desired her parents' relic but knew that the Foreign King was very cunning, using it to bait her all along.

But… why would a Dark Alien Race creature come alone right now and, without much resistance, allow itself to be effortlessly killed by her?

And why did it have a relic in its possession?

Could it be a scheme of the Foreign King?

Was this Dark Alien Race dispatched to wear down her strength?
