Asura Mad Emperor

Upon entering the passage, the environment around them dramatically changed, with fog rising and chaos permeating the air.

Qinchuan and his group didn't know how long they had been running forward when countless diverging paths suddenly appeared ahead.

From a distance, each path looked exactly the same, except for their directions, which varied.

"How could there be so many forks in the road? Is this the Spirit Martial Great Tomb or a Spirit Martial maze?"

Ji Huo'er blinked her lively eyes that shimmered with changing expressions, then pouted, "I hate mazes the most, but luckily, I anticipated this and came prepared."

As she spoke, Ji Huo'er took out a bronze compass from her storage space, emitting a faint green light. Its ancient texture and intricate bronze frame were adorned with mysterious runes, exuding an aura of mystique and profundity.

Clearly, she was pinning her hopes on this compass.

With a flick of her hand, she tossed the compass into the air, where it emitted a dazzling array of brilliant lights, hovering in mid-air with its needle spinning ceaselessly.

The others couldn't help but smile wryly, and Qinchuan was at a loss for words, "You really think this is just a tomb, bringing all these toys? This isn't a maze. Entering through these different passages will lead us to various areas within the Spirit Martial Great Tomb. There are connecting paths inside, and eventually, everyone will meet in the central area of this small world."

As a secret realm, the Spirit Martial Great Tomb had an immense, boundless space within it, almost like a small world unto itself, with its own Dao and principles already taking shape.

Ding Hao stepped forward at this time, pointing to one of the foggy passages and said, "Last time, I entered through here. Shall we go through this place?"

Qinchuan shook his head, "Let's take the passage on the far right!" Having said that, Qinchuan strode toward one of the passages by himself.

At that moment, the needle on Ji Huo'er's oversized bronze compass finally came to a sudden halt, pointing in the direction of the passage Qinchuan had entered.

Ji Huo'er cheered and pointed excitedly toward the distance, "I know now, let's go this way..."

The next moment, she saw Ling Xian'er's figure already disappearing into the passage and hurriedly called out with a tender voice, "Hey, wait for me..."

Once Qinchuan and his companions entered this passage, they ran forward at full speed, surrounded by scenes that constantly shifted. They seemed to be in the midst of a tumultuous vast ocean, then suddenly in the middle of an endless desert blanketed by yellow sand, and in the blink of an eye, they found themselves in an endless dark universe, with only the scattered glimmers of starlight.

It was as if they were traversing the river of time, desolately infinite, shrouded in fog, evoking a sense of bleakness and melancholy.

Time passed, they were unsure how much, when the fog in the passage gradually thinned and a glimmer of clear light came from the distance.

"Phew, we finally entered this world!"

In an instant, they felt the dense spiritual energy around them, richer than any other place in the Divine Wilderness Continent, almost as if it would condense into liquid.

"Is this the Spirit Martial Great Tomb? No wonder it's often said that great opportunities are contained here. With such rich spiritual energy, even if there aren't any other spiritual medicines or treasures, cultivating here would certainly yield twice the result with half the effort." Ling Xian'er was incomparably beautiful, with her icy skin and crystal-clear eyes full of astonishment and awe.

As soon as Qinchuan entered this place, he suddenly felt a strong sense come over him.

It was as if something was calling out to him!

In the center of the Spirit Martial Secret Realm, something was waiting for him.

This feeling grew stronger and stronger.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and a fervent light burst forth from his eyes as he gazed into the distance, wishing to pierce through the dense fog and discern the truth.

He had entered the Spirit Martial Great Tomb several times before, but he had never encountered such a situation.

"Could this be related to the recent emergence of Spiritual Treasures?"

Not far ahead, the hills stretched on, with lush forests and abundant spirit grasses enveloped by rising spiritual energy, while the refreshing fragrance of spiritual medicines wafted to the nose, and faint roars of divine beasts could be heard.

Between the mountains, light shimmered and mysterious stones stood in jagged forms, while spirit medicines and spirit woods clustered around, giving the impression of having stepped into an Immortal Realm.

"Wow, jackpot, so many spirit grasses! So many heavenly treasures materials!"

Seeing the surge of spiritual energy and intoxicating scent of medicines from the distant mountain range, Ji Huo'er's eyes lit up with excitement, and she yearned to dash toward the mountains to gather them. Ling Xian'er, quick to react, caught her with a swift move and scolded gently, "Huo'er, don't be reckless!"

"Although this place seems peaceful and serene, it is filled with poisonous insects, malevolent spirits, and chaotic formations of divine power. A slight misstep could lead to the destruction of one's soul and spirit. Be extremely careful in your actions, do not run about rashly, otherwise, even this young master won't be able to save you," Qinchuan also cautioned.

Realizing her impulsiveness, Ji Huo'er stuck out her tongue and shrank back.

To leave this place, one must pass through the mountain ravines.

Without further delay, Qinchuan and the others proceeded along the path toward the distant mountains.

"Wow, this is Silver Flame Grass!"

"This thing is... Blue Heart Spirit Wood!"

"And there's the Returning Origin Holy Vine, heavens, these are top-notch rare spiritual medicines in the outside world, and yet here they grow casually on both sides of the path, ignored by passersby!"

Ji Huo'er was restricted by Ling Xian'er from running around, but the countless readily available spirit grasses along the way excited her, prompting her to harvest them all, appearing very much like a little miser.

"Huh, is that a Purifying Heart Stone? Such a big piece of Purifying Heart Stone!"

Ji Huo'er's sparkling eyes shone brightly as she exclaimed in astonishment at a large piece of green rock by the roadside, her dark pupils swirling, clearly scheming something.

But the piece of Purifying Heart Stone was simply too big. Although her storage space could accommodate it, fitting it would likely leave no room for other treasures. Thinking of the countless heavenly treasure materials ahead waiting to be collected, she reluctantly chose to give up if it meant filling her storage space now.

Yet Ji Huo'er was not content and groped around, attempting to chip off a piece, but the Purifying Heart Stone was of a piece with the earth and would not budge.

In the end, she could only leave with great reluctance.

The four of them walked on for an unknown amount of time, the path becoming increasingly challenging as they neared the mountain range.

"Huh, this is a human skeleton!"

Ji Huo'er had been picking spirit medicines along the way when she suddenly picked up a humanoid skull from the bushes, its white bones chilling to touch. After examining it in her hands for a while and realizing it was not the precious bone of an ancient divine beast, she lost interest and tossed it aside.

As they continued forward, the bones by the roadside became more numerous, piling up like mountains, clearly left by those who had entered the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, one after another, before them.

In the end, the spirit medicines along the path grew increasingly precious, but they were surrounded by heaps of bones, with many growing amidst the bones as if nestled in a forest of bone and marrow, indescribably horrifying and thrilling.

And just then, Ji Huo'er suddenly called out in her sweet voice again, "Look, everyone, there are so many corpses ahead!"
