Seeing this, Lin Changâsheng frowned slightly.
Lin Changâsheng had been to the Spirit-Seizing Land beforeâhe knew exactly what it was like in there.
Even if he went in with Late Stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, the place would still be fraught with deadly danger.
Did he really need to risk his life just to hunt down Zhao Fuhu?
After much hesitation, Lin Changâsheng decided not to take the risk.
"Zhao Fuhu went inâheâs as good as dead!"
Leaving that sentence behind, Lin Changâsheng turned around and left.
He had much more important things to doâacquiring the Sea God Tower.
This treasure was a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure level artifact, and its power should not be underestimated.
No need to delay important matters over Zhao Fuhu.
On his way to the Demon Evil Sea, Lin Changâsheng wasnât idleâhe opened up Su Changkongâs storage bag for inspection.
This greedy and ambitious man surely had no shortage of treasures inside his bag.
As soon as he opened it, Lin Changâsheng was dazzled by the countless spirit stones, nearly unable to keep his eyes open.
Inside, spirit stones were stacked high into three small mountain rangesâthere must be two or three hundred thousand pieces at least.
Other than Su Changkongâs Celestial Vault Sword and Seven-Colored Divine Buddha Bead, there were dozens of upper grade treasures and plenty of Immortal Techniques in there.
The journey wouldnât be boring for Lin Changâsheng now; he could delve into Immortal Techniques while traveling.
Spirit-Seizing Land.
In the depths of a ten-thousand-zhang abyss, inside a spacious, ancient great hall, a giant coffin three zhang long lay atop a white jade high platform at the center, with an elegant-faced middle-aged man resting upon it.
"Damn it, another bug has gotten inside! I absolutely cannot let him ruin my plans this time!"
The refined middle-aged man muttered, and a Primordial Spirit manifestation directly left his body.
His wounds had mostly recovered, and now his Primordial Spirit could leave the flesh.
He must not let the little insect who entered the Spirit-Seizing Land delay his recovery any longer.
So he planned to send his Primordial Spirit out, to wipe out the insect directly.
...
After Zhao Fuhu entered the Spirit-Seizing Land, he fell unconscious. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a beach, the surrounding sea waters churning violently.
"IâIâm not dead?"
Zhao Fuhu patted himself down and realized he was completely unscathed.
He tried circulating his magical powerâno problem at all.
But there wasnât the slightest trace of spiritual energy here. Every bit of magical power he spent was nearly impossible to replenish.
"No wonder itâs called the Spirit-Seizing Land. Looks like there really isnât any spiritual energy here. If I run out of magical power, Iâll be just a regular person. I have to find a way out."
Zhao Fuhu thought to himself, then quickly started searching his belongings for his storage bag.
To his shock, his storage bag was gone.
And heâd kept some elixirs to restore spiritual energy in there.
Even if he exhausted his magical power, he could at least replenish it a bit with elixirs.
So those elixirs were crucial to him.
More importantly, the Fiery Sun Treasure Manual of the Yin Yang Dao Sect was also insideâit was utterly unacceptable for the storage bag to be lost.
"Where did my storage bag go?"
Zhao Fuhu began searching the beach and surrounding area.
"Heyâlook! Another poor sucker has fallen in here!"
"Yeah! And heâs a young guy, doesnât look like his cultivationâs muchâbut for hunting sea demons, he should be enough! Saves us a lot of trouble!"
"Letâs go, have a look!"
In the distance, a group spotted Zhao Fuhu and quickly surrounded him.
"There are actually people in this place?"
Seeing some twenty or thirty people rushing over, Zhao Fuhu was shocked.
But these were all mortals, not a shred of magical power within them. The strongest was just a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
To Zhao Fuhu, these people posed no threat whatsoever.
"Everyone, I accidentally stumbled in here. Is there any way to leave?"
Zhao Fuhu wasnât keen on being trapped here forever, so he asked, hoping to glean some useful intel.
"Leave this place? Forget it. If escape was possible, why would we be trapped here our whole lives? Youâre not the first cultivator to drop into the Spirit-Seizing Land. How about helping us hunt a few sea demons before your magical power runs dry? As payment, weâll let you enter our tribe and stay."
One of the Cloud Map Tribe leaders spoke.
Hearing this, Zhao Fuhuâs face filled with resentment: "No wayâhow could there not be an exit? Donât try to fool me! If Lin Changâsheng could get out, so can I!"
Zhao Fuhu shouted in stubborn anger.
He then noticed his storage bag hanging on a manâs waist, instantly growing even more suspicious of these people.
"Give me back my storage bag!"
Zhao Fuhuâs gaze turned cold and grim.
"Youâre saying this bag is yours?"
The man looked surprised, but this storage bag was useless to themâthey didnât have divine sense and couldnât open it anyway.
So he tossed it to Zhao Fuhu.
But the moment Zhao Fuhu grabbed it, he found he couldnât open it. A bad feeling crept into himâhe suspected someone had meddled with his storage bag.
"Whatâs going on? I canât even use my divine sense?"
Zhao Fuhu was shockedâdid that mean he couldnât use any of his elixirs inside?
"I donât believe thereâs no way out of here. If you donât tell me the truth, donât blame me for what happens!"
Desperate now, Zhao Fuhu threatened them. If they wouldnât reveal an escape route, he wouldnât show mercy.
After all, he still had magical power left. He must find the exit before he was drained dry.
If his magical power was spent, all that would await him was death.
Too lateâ
Zhao Fuhuâs body crackled with the power of thunder; the dark clouds gathered above, bolts of silver lightning dancing across the heavens.
