Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

However, it seems that all his joy was in vain. Wang Mu smiled bitterly and helplessly. He couldn't blame anyone else for this situation. In the end, it was his own treasure map that had been destroyed.

Then, holding this pitch-black treasure map, they returned to the shore.

The group of people who were just wondering about Wang Mu's sudden rush down were overjoyed when they saw the treasure map in his hand.

"Genius... Is this the last treasure map we've been missing?" Sha Youlang asked excitedly.

Wang Mu nodded with a sullen expression.

Seeing this, the Demon Wolf couldn't help but feel puzzled. It slowly floated to Wang Mu's side and, upon seeing the pitch-black treasure map, also showed a bitter smile.

"It's alright, genius. Even though it's dark, we've still managed to collect the entire treasure map. We can roughly find it using the clues on it, it just might take a while," Sha Youlang comforted Wang Mu.

Zhong Wanling and Xiao Chuan, who were listening nearby, were completely confused.

"We've already found all the treasure maps, so why do we need to spend even more time searching?" Xiao Chuan asked, puzzled.

As Wang Mu approached, the two men couldn't help but smile awkwardly when they saw the treasure map in his hand.

After returning to the rest area, Wang Mu took out several fragmented treasure maps from his backpack and pieced them together.

Instantly, the fragments of the treasure map merged together, and a golden light shone from the treasure map. At this moment, a point of light appeared on the treasure map and slowly began to move across the entire map.

They all stared intently at the treasure map floating in the air, believing that the path taken by the beam of light was the path the treasure map was supposed to take.

The only regret is that when the light passed over that pitch-black treasure map, it did not emit the expected light, but disappeared for a while before reappearing on another treasure map.

Seeing this, Wang Mu couldn't help but sigh deeply. When he saw that single point of light, a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart, but this hope was clearly crushed by reality.

At this moment, a route map with a missing section appeared vividly in front of them. Looking at this route map, Wang Mu felt a slight sense of familiarity, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

"If that section hadn't been missing, I probably would have been able to remember," Wang Mu sighed.

After saying that, he put the entire treasure map back into his backpack, then turned to look at the group and said...

Do you remember this route?

Sha Youlang and Xiao Chuan shook their heads decisively, indicating that they had never seen it before. Zhong Wanling, on the other hand, rested her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she slowly spoke.

"I feel like I've seen this picture somewhere before, but I can't quite place it. I wish that part wasn't missing."

Wang Mu was surprised that Zhong Wanling had the same idea as him. He looked at Zhong Wanling in astonishment and then said.

“You and I are thinking the same thing. It seems we should have looked at the route on this map together. If I’m not mistaken, it should be somewhere in the Sanctuary. So we should hurry up and find a way back to the Sanctuary.”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wanling and the others nodded in agreement, and then returned to their respective tents to rest.

With Wang Mu and Sha Youlang taking turns keeping watch, nothing unexpected happened throughout the night. Occasionally, a few wild beasts would come by, but they would all be scared away by the powerful aura emanating from Wang Mu.

"Genius...do you remember the boatman we met earlier? Since there are ships sailing from the Holy Domain to the Desolate Domain, there must be ships returning as well," the Fiend Wolf suddenly said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu slapped his head. He had been so out of his mind, only thinking about using the spatial teleportation channel to go back, that he had completely forgotten about this.

That was truly a wake-up call.

So Wang Mu led the group to the nearest town and found a restaurant where they sat down.

"Genius... Weren't we looking for a boat? Why are we at a restaurant?" Xiao Chuan asked in confusion.

Wang Mu said mysteriously, "You'll find out soon enough."

A moment later, the waiter came to the table where Wang Mu and his group were and asked, "Gentlemen, is there anything you need?"

"Give me some of your signature dishes and two jugs of wine," Wang Mu said casually.

At this moment, Wang Mu held his teacup and quietly watched the dancers performing on stage, and couldn't help but praise them.

"That dance was really good. Women from the desolate region have a unique charm."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wanling felt inexplicably uncomfortable and subconsciously glared at Wang Mu, saying, "Pervert!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu, who was sitting elegantly, trembled slightly. He lost his grip on the teacup and spilled a lot of tea. He glanced awkwardly at Zhong Wanling beside him.

Seeing the look Wang Mu conveyed, Zhong Wanling simply snorted and turned away with her hands on her hips.

"Could it be that his memories have returned?" Wang Mu thought to himself with delight.

However, Zhong Wanling's next words directly refuted Wang Mu's idea.

“You men are all the same, not a single one of you is any good. You can’t even walk past a woman. What, are the women of our Holy Land not attractive enough? Why are you here watching the dancers of the Desolate Land?”

Zhong Wanling stared at Wang Mu with wide eyes and said.

"Old Li, why did you finish this batch of wine so quickly? It's all gone in just two days."

The old man grinned and said, "You little rascal, you've got quite the chatterbox. Haven't I given you a beating in a few days and you're getting itchy?"

After some playful banter, the waiter respectfully handed the old man his wine jug with both hands.

"Isn't this just a drunk old man? Why is the waiter treating him with such respect and without any manners?" Xiao Chuan said, puzzled.

Wang Mu, who had been sitting still the whole time, had been staring at the drunken old man ever since he entered. Now, a smile appeared on his lips as he put down his wine glass and slowly walked towards the old man.

"Master, I have a pot of fine wine here. Would you mind if we found a place to sit and enjoy it together?" Wang Mu said with a slight smile to the drunken old man.

"Young man, you have good taste. You've come to the right person for wine tasting." The drunken old man named Old Li put his arm around Wang Mu's shoulder, picked up the wine pot, and walked out of the restaurant.

Seeing this, Zhong Wanling and the others quickly followed the drunken old man's footsteps. They turned left and right and finally arrived at a dilapidated house.

The old man's expression was no longer the same as before; instead, it was solemn. He stretched out his palm and pressed it against the dilapidated wooden door.
