Chapter 2413 Eliminating Hidden Dangers

The moment the female mage fell, it alarmed the third mage, who then released an avatar to find out what had happened.

Upon learning that he had been killed by powerful invaders, he could basically conclude that he probably could not avenge this.

Even with the combined might of two Archmages and the power of the world, they couldn't defeat him. Adding myself to the mix would likely still be futile.

But simply accepting this and doing nothing was not an option for him.

So he could only vent his anger on the old mage: "Even if we joined forces, we still lost. Did you overlook something during the battle?"
More importantly, after losing, you only need to save your own life. Why grovel and submit to the other side?

However, the Third Archmage then discovered that the Old Archmage was with the other party, and thus dared not make a move.

However, his anger was ultimately hard to quell, and although he tried his best to restrain himself, some of it still leaked out.

He didn't think he had offended anyone—he hadn't even laid a hand on anyone, he had just watched from a distance, so what was the big deal?
However, after Qingkong Zhenzun captured him, he read part of his memories and, without saying a word, directly cursed and killed the opponent's true form.

Such resentful people are disliked by all cultivators, and should be killed whenever conditions permit.

Moreover, the purpose of everyone's visit is to protect Xiao Qu during her breakthrough to the Out-of-Body stage, and this potential threat must be eliminated!
Previously, when everyone learned that there was a mysterious but unseen deity, they always felt a little uneasy.

The barbarians fear power but do not appreciate virtue; it would be best to find a plausible reason to take the opportunity to teach them a lesson.

Now, things have turned out great. The other party has actually come to us willingly, which has solved the problem once and for all.

The old sorcerer remained silent for a long time after hearing their account of what had happened.

Can we say these humanoids are cruel? Not really. Even someone as kind as him wouldn't hesitate to act in such a situation.

Until he heard another question: "Is it only the main body, or does it include other Dharma bodies?"

Qingkong answered casually, "The Curse of Cause and Effect extends beyond all blood relatives to include all those close to me!"

"Wow..." The old mage clicked his tongue in amazement. What kind of heaven-defying methods were these?
He could understand the blood curse; its purpose was to eradicate the root of the problem, something even some powerful magicians had accomplished.

But to eliminate all close relatives and friends, isn't this not only a more ruthless method, but also too barbaric?
This is somewhat similar to the actions of the gods back then, but the gods were even more unreasonable, and their strength... was also somewhat weaker.

None of the five cultivators paid attention to his thoughts. They continued their journey for another day or so and entered a dimly lit space.

“This is the outer edge of the Land of Fallen Gods,” the old mage knew very well that his mind had been emptied out by the other party.

However, to show his willingness to cooperate, he still explained, "It was transformed from a broken world."

Minning Zhenzun already knew, raised his hand to form a hand seal, and then pointed in a certain direction, "There!"

Two days ago, he wouldn't have been so reckless, but now that even the world's will has knelt down, divination is no longer something he can do with ease.

The old mage also knew the art of divination, a technique that existed within the magical system, but even a mage like him, who would dare to use it here?

If he could use it, he wouldn't need to keep the parchment book for guidance.

Putting aside everything else, the backlash from the Land of Fallen Gods alone will definitely leave the God of Magic in a terrible predicament.

The other party was so brazen in their divination that they clearly didn't even care about the resentment of the fallen gods!

After Minning pointed out the direction, everyone continued on their way, and soon they felt the pressure of the space increase considerably.

The further you go, the greater the pressure becomes, but it didn't last long before a light blue gap appeared ahead.

This is the passage to the land of fallen gods mentioned in the parchment. This passage is caused by an energy gap and its location is constantly changing.

None of the mages dared to take the risk. Besides the prohibition, the passage itself was also a small hurdle, and finding it was not easy.

If the entrance were clearly displayed there, it's hard to say whether any powerful mage would dare to take the risk.

The energy within the passage was quite chaotic, but it wasn't a big deal for the six people; the main problem was that it could easily affect their direction of movement.

Therefore, everyone has to expend more energy to ensure they don't get swept away.

After about an hour, everyone felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, and they entered a dim, gray space.

The entire space was filled with a gray-black mist, permeated with a gloomy and cold atmosphere, and possessed considerable corrosiveness.

"What a lousy place this is!" Venerable Qingkong frowned slightly. "It feels like a graveyard."

He had been looking for opportunities so many times that it was almost certain that there was no decent stuff to be found in a place like this.

If it's some kind of heretical practice, there might be some unexpected surprises, but who would go to a graveyard to hunt for good stuff?
Han Li showed no emotion. He raised his hand as if to perform divination, then stopped, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Huh?"

"Hmm?" Qingkong glanced at him, clearly guessing his motive and noticing the pause.

However, the Great Protector was truly fearless. He was not afraid of doing things that Han Li dared not do. What were a few dead souls who had left their bodies?

When he raised his hand, his brow furrowed slightly: it was indeed a small threat.

But so what? So he started calculating, and then his expression became more and more serious.

Han Li remained silent, simply watching him indifferently, while Min Ning, Jin Ge, and Qu Jianlei surveyed their surroundings.

Once someone in the exploration team starts calculating, there's no need for the others to take action; this avoids wasting resources.

At the same time, taking appropriate precautions is routine, and experienced teams will not be lacking in this level of reaction.

After calculating for more than ten seconds, Qingkong Zhenzun stopped, pondered for a while, and then raised his hand to calculate again.

This time, he calculated for a full half minute before nodding thoughtfully, "Strange, there's actually an opportunity!"

What's rare is that there are more than one opportunity here, there are seven or eight in total!
One of the opportunities actually reached the upper-middle level of good fortune, which was even stronger than the Sky-Mending Stone obtained during the previous exploration.

It's roughly equivalent to the Primordial Purple Qi, which is roughly enough to firmly suppress it.

In addition, there are two moderately auspicious, one moderately auspicious, and the rest are moderately auspicious or below.

Five people, four of them are lucky... Never mind, let's put these issues aside for now and discuss them slowly.

Han Li frowned slightly. "How dangerous is it?"

In the world of the Tree Clan, such an opportunity would likely be accompanied by immense danger.

Four of the four paths are considered auspicious, and one of them is considered auspicious to the middle-to-upper level. If you add them all together, it feels like it's almost as auspicious as the highest level of auspiciousness.

“This is what I don’t quite understand,” Qingkong frowned slightly, having consulted the divination twice.

"The danger was actually... well, it wasn't as high as I had imagined."

After listening, Han Li nodded slightly, then raised his hand to calculate, "The Great Protector is quite lucky."

“It was the team’s luck,” Qingkong Zhenzun replied calmly.

He hitchhiked here to explore, yet he immediately raised his hand to calculate the fortune of others; what he did was a bit... inappropriate!
Although the Great Protector rarely considered the feelings of others in his daily actions, he knew very well that Han Li was truly capable of turning against him.

Since the other party asked about the danger first, he should make his stance clear: I'm doing this for the sake of the team.

Qingkong keenly noticed that after he spoke, Minning Zhenzun's gaze softened slightly.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly: I was the one who brought you on this trip, and you still have your own ulterior motives?
However, considering that Min Ning had worked with those three for a longer time, he could understand their feelings.

When he brought Min Ning on this expedition, wasn't it because of this relationship?

It must be admitted that in otherworldly adventures, knowing how to restrain greed is very important, even for someone like Lingyun, the Great Protector.

Han Li did not respond to his statement, but instead said, "Let's take a break and then do some divination to see where the danger is coming from."

“I agree,” said Minning Zhenzun first. “This opportunity is strange, so it’s best to be careful.”

Qingkong Zhenzun nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Then what did you divine just now?"
In any case, given the opportunity, it's best for everyone to remain calm.

The dark gray gas in this space is highly corrosive and can even cause some damage to the cave dwelling.

Upon discovering this, the group decided to set up an array in the space to rest. However, after a short while, they found that the time seemed to be somewhat disordered as well.

However, in such a confined space, time becomes less meaningful, since opportunities are inevitable anyway.

After resting for an unknown period of time, Han Li took out a set of counting rods and began to perform divination very seriously.

This time, Qingkong watched coldly from the sidelines, and he also took out a chessboard, which looked like a divination tool.

Han Li spent about ten minutes doing the divination, and he looked visibly tired.

However, he was in a good mood. After putting away his counting rods, he nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder, it turns out to be a void creature."

“Void...creatures?” Min Ning was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.

Then he glanced at the old mage not far away, as if that was how the creatures here addressed us.

But when Qingkong Zhenzun heard this, he nodded in sudden understanding, "So that's how it is, no wonder... I'll do another divination."

His divination this time basically confirms that the opportunities in this space are not closely related to this world.

But how did these void creatures get here, and how were they involved in so many fortuitous encounters?
However, at this point, the cultivators no longer wanted to consider it; they had already calculated the risks very clearly—the risks were minimal.

So everyone rested for a while, and when they had recovered to about 70-80%, they embarked on a journey to find opportunities.

To be on the safe side, they did not directly seek out the most auspicious opportunity, but instead chose one of the two auspicious opportunities.

It took us three to five days to pursue this opportunity; we couldn't say exactly how long, but it was roughly over.

Throughout this process, everyone remained very cautious, fearing an unexpected attack.

However, the danger wasn't actually that great; they only encountered two balls of corrosive energy and a spatial rift.

I haven't actually encountered any void creatures or anything like that.
