Under the dark and gloomy sky, Jiang Hao felt a bit dejected. It seemed like there was no hope here.
Having an unstable mind here would certainly lead to some problems.
These four people were definitely together.
He didn’t understand why they would fight each other in this way.
The person rushing for help had no injuries at all. Although the people behind were making threats, they didn’t use their full strength.
Even the person who was escaping didn’t use any strength.
These four individuals had cultivation realms in the Soul Ascension Realm, but all of them were suppressed to the early and middle stages of the Golden Core
Realm.
This was obviously a mockery.
There was no need to be polite with them.
The three looked at Jiang Hao. Many thoughts surged in their minds, but eventually, they decided to answer his questions.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe. After thinking for a moment, he said, “We accidentally entered here some time ago.”
“How long ago was that?” Jiang Hao asked. “About a month ago,” the middle-aged man said.
‘A month ago?’
Jiang Hao realized that the Corpse Sea had appeared in other places before. This time, it had appeared in the Thousand Feet Mountain.
“Where did you enter from?” Jiang Hao asked.
These people were obviously running to the outside. It made him suspect that they weren’t relying on the sea itself.
“At the seaside,” the middle-aged man said.
“And then? What have you been doing for the past month?” Jiang Hao asked.
Something was obviously wrong here. Didn’t they leave as soon as possible?
The three looked at each other. Finally, the middle-aged man said, “We felt that this place was unusual and wanted to explore a bit, but we didn’t discover anything. ”
“You aren’t leaving?” Jiang Hao looked at them.
Jiang Hao knew they were lying about the last part. They must have obtained something.
For him, it didn’t matter what they discovered. He had no intention of taking it for himself.
“We can’t leave.” The middle-aged man sighed. “The entrance we used has disappeared. ”
“Aren’t you worried?” Jiang Hao asked.
This place was strange, yet these people didn’t seem concerned about it.
When the three heard the question, they didn’t take it seriously.
The younger one among them said, “We’ve been here for a few months already. Maybe we’ll be able to leave in another two or three months. At worst, it might be four or five months.”
Jiang Hao recalled something.
In the Corpse Realm, one could respond to the Heaven, Earth, and Human Yuan Formations to leave.
But…
Jiang Hao looked up at the sky. He wasn’t sure if this place was the same as the outside.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t wait.
There might be unknown dangers in this place that he couldn’t fight.
He had checked just now, and the entrance on the cliff was still there. Apart from the entrance, he had hidden sub-rings outside, so he wouldn’t be trapped here.
If there was any danger, he could just leave.
As for whether the Heaven, Earth, and Human Yuan Formation would work
here…
He thought they would work just as well.
After all, there had never been news of people coming to the Corpse Sea and not being able to return. Some people knew about the Corpse Sea, which meant that people had visited this place before.
This place should be special because it seemed like the founder of the sect had stayed here and left a mark.
“Have you been to any other places inside this one?” Jiang Hao asked.
“There are mountains, rivers, and streams here, but each place shows signs of desolation. There are also many strange forces that we don’t dare to touch due to our low cultivation,” the middle-aged man said.
Jiang Hao nodded and asked if they had a map of this place.
He realized there weren’t maps circulating outside about this place, which made him curious.
It didn’t seem so difficult to enter, and it was fairly easy to leave. So, why were there no maps here?
At that moment, Jiang Hao communicated with his sub-ring again and was relieved that it still worked. So, he didn’t have to worry too much about it.
The three didn’t have a map but claimed that they could draw one.
After a while, Jiang Hao received a roughly drawn map. It mostly depicted forests, mountains, rivers, lakes, and swamps.
There were also some caves.
The caves were dangerous during the day and safer at night.
They didn’t know what the danger was. After all, those who went inside had disappeared.
Jiang Hao asked them if they had seen any other people here.
The three shook their heads.
Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to it and decided to look around the coastline.
Perhaps, he might find something.
As for mountains, rivers, and streams, there was no need for him to go and explore.
From what he knew, the founder was on the coastline.
With his storage treasure in hand, Jiang Hao rode his sword toward the coastline.
The three individuals also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him leave.
When Jiang Hao glanced back, he wondered if everything had been an illusion. Against the gloomy background, the three individuals appeared even more integrated into it. They looked as though they were a part of a black-and-white painting.
The strangeness made him wary.
He wasn’t sure if that was happening to him too.
The three people didn’t seem to be aware of it.
Perhaps they believed they had no issues. They just waited for the Corpse Realm to near its end so they could leave.
That was the most terrifying part. They walked the path of the dead, yet thought they were part of life.
“They…”
“They’re dead.” Before Jiang Hao could finish his words, Hong Yuye answered.
Her words sent a shiver down Jiang Hao’s spine.
He couldn’t understand it.
He took out the storage treasure he had just picked up and opened it. It was completely empty.
“What’s going on?” He found it hard to believe.
It couldn’t possibly be all empty.
“Someone must have taken it,” Hong Yuye said.
Jiang Hao felt odd.
If they were dead, how were they walking around like the living?
The Corpse Realm seemed even stranger than he had antic.i.p.ated.
This also meant that there were other people here.
Jiang Hao rode his sword along the coastline.
He observed the changes in his body because he feared that he might also a.s.similate into this dead and desolate place without noticing anything.
Once his aura changed, he would leave this place. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.
After some time, they appeared on the beach, where some houses had sprung up. These houses had simple, thatched roofs.
He noticed that people were living in those huts. There were probably seven or eight individuals in total.
They probably didn’t belong to one group.
Four thatched huts represented four factions.
Jiang Hao’s arrival caught their attention.
There were three women and four men. Each of them was in the Return to Void realm.
They didn’t emit an aura that the previous four individuals had. Moreover, they were carrying magical treasures for protection.
They were members of the Divine Corpse Sect.
Jiang Hao saw a man and a woman in the distance. He could tell they were proficient in the Corpse Dissolving Technique.
Two other women exuded the great aura of the Grand Universe.
From the remaining three people, he had never seen the two of them. The last one was dressed as a scholar.
They seemed related to the Astronomical Academy.
Why were they living here?
“Are you also here to find someone?” asked the man who was dressed like a scholar.
“Yes,” said Jiang Hao.
He wasn’t sure if they were all looking for the same person.
“Your cultivation doesn’t seem very high, but surely, you have something special to be able to come here. I advise you, friend, to build a house here. It’s going to ram soon,” said the scholar-looking man..
