Upon hearing Zhang Chen's words, Fox Fairy Nannan showed a hint of grievance on her face: "We agreed, once we leave the tomb and reach a place with no one, you must let me out. I'm suffocating in here."
After speaking, Fox Fairy Nannan looked at Zhang Chen: "Do you have anything else for me to do this time?"
"Later, when I summon you into the Spiritual World, help me deliver this flower into it," Zhang Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Fox Fairy Nannan's eyes fell on the flower in Zhang Chen's hand: "What kind of flower is this? It looks so mysterious?"
"A flower that can be fatal." Saying this, Zhang Chen handed the flower to Fox Fairy Nannan, then immediately sat cross-legged in meditation, directly entering the Spiritual World.
Honestly, Zhang Chen is slightly apprehensive about the Spiritual World now. Ever since he saw that terrifying figure in the Spiritual World last time, he has been very wary of it.
As Zhang Chen's soul entered the Spiritual World, the Cyan Lotus formed from his magical power flickered, casting a cyan glow that protected Zhang Chen.
At this moment, the Cyan Lotus condensed into a solid form, and the cyan light grew even denser. More importantly, Zhang Chen noticed that his time limit in the Spiritual World seemed to have been lifted.
Accompanying the Cyan Lotus's solidification, it seemed to reach an indescribable realm of perfection. The Cyan Lotus could automatically absorb mysterious world energy for self-replenishment, and the magical power consumed to protect Zhang Chen appeared to be less than what the Cyan Lotus absorbed to restore.
"No wonder it's Qi Cultivation at Great Perfection; it's truly miraculous." Zhang Chen looked at the Cyan Lotus, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Then with a cautious glance across the dim black sandstorm in front, a trace of prudence appeared in his eyes. Seeing that the woman's crying could not be heard in the thick black sand, he relaxed and summoned the Fox Spirit.
In the next instant, Fox Fairy Nannan appeared, holding the mysterious flower in her hands.
The moment the flower appeared in the Mysterious World, it burst forth with rays of red light, seemingly resonating with something within the dark wind sand.
"This flower seems to be responding to some item in the Spiritual World, there must be a Land of Creation in that darkness, nurturing wondrous treasures." Fox Fairy Nannan gazed intently at the red flower, seemingly eager to fly toward a certain place.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen also looked surprised: "I didn't expect such a harvest, but now is not the time to explore. After I escape from the tomb and deal with external matters, it won't be too late to venture into the Spiritual World's Creation."
Zhang Chen's gaze swept over the entire ruins, finally clearing an area, using broken pieces of the ruins to temporarily build a simple small 'cover', then placing the flower within it. He sealed it with larger debris before withdrawing from the Spiritual World.
Upon returning to his body, Zhang Chen transformed into mist, wandering through the ruins, quickly arriving at the pool that Zhong Xiang had previously excavated, only to see it empty, with all the black water gone.
"This is a big problem! I didn't expect Great Freedom Celestial Demon's words to come true, the Cursed Demon God played everyone. Now the key is where the Cursed Demon God is, whether it's chosen to possess someone or to escape alone." Zhang Chen looked at the pool and showed a hint of caution—the sudden change was beyond everyone's expectations.
After inspecting it closely to confirm nothing was left, Zhang Chen transformed into mist again, wandering through the ruins, then arrived at an untouched part. After a moment's hesitation, he revealed his true appearance.
This place was dry, and suddenly a wisp of mist appeared, naturally attracting attention. With those people's intelligence, they would certainly test him, exposing his method of mist transformation, which is not good.
Furthermore, turning into mist is Zhang Chen's trump card for future escapes, so it cannot be exposed casually.
Zhang Chen's hair was loose, his clothes and face intentionally dirty, making it impossible for others to recognize him, allowing Zhang Chen to be unaffected by recognition.
Revealing his form, Zhang Chen quickly traversed within the stone cave. No one was seen along the way, as everyone likely feared being crushed in the underground space and escaped.
Zhang Chen reached the entrance of the stone cave, where he saw the hanging rope from afar. Being untrained in Martial Dao, the tens of meters high rope wasn't something he could climb, so Zhang Chen transformed into mist, quietly climbing up along the rope, peeking out to observe the outside, finding no one in sight and no one guarding the cave entrance—even Zhong Xiang's army was gone.
"They must be afraid the mountain will also collapse and bury everyone alive, so they've retreated to the foot of the mountain." Zhang Chen revealed himself at the cave entrance, carefully observing the surrounding peaks, discovering that the land collapse caused severe damage, with seven or eight mountain peaks having crumbled into a heap of rubble.
"Speaking of which, the Feng Shui Grand Array covers a radius of a hundred kilometers. Wouldn't there be other array eyes for suppression? There must be more than one, right?" Zhang Chen touched the bead in his sleeve, showing a trace of contemplation.
Zhang Chen's heart was greedy, wanting more treasures, so he wandered among the mountains, and from afar, he saw a figure appear before him. Upon closer inspection, he confirmed it was Huang Chao.
