Master of Strange Dao

Those people, if they had controlled the then-not-so-strong "God," using it as the core, they would probably not have found it particularly difficult to summon and utilize that "body."

As Yu Ziqing thought this through, he felt the possibility was quite high.

Because the risk was high, so was the reward, a being that had shown up for the first time... no, in their eyes, a creature that was already Tenth Tier upon its second appearance.

If they could utilize and control this creature, the benefits would simply be tremendous, worth any great risk they might incur.

However, as Yu Ziqing thought about this, he really felt like laughing.

He didn't know how they had found their information or how they had made various deductions and verifications.

If the reality was indeed so, hadn't they considered one issue?

Was there a possibility that the Jade Tomb had actually nothing to do with the king of the hungry ghosts?

Yu Ziqing, viewing from the standpoint of an observer, thought about it and fell silent.

It seemed that from the perspective of an observer, it indeed seemed impossible.

Jinlan Mountain only had that abnormally large Jade Tomb; that was the only possibility, no others.

Thinking this way, Yu Ziqing felt a mix of emotions in his heart and, for a moment, did not know what to say.

He hoped he was overthinking it.

But he really hoped it wasn't as he had speculated.

And regardless of the scenario, Yu Ziqing couldn't let them take that evil being out.

At the very least, the Jade Tomb within Jinlan Mountain truly did exist.

If they couldn't summon the king of the hungry ghosts' body and ended up awakening the Jade Tomb by accident, causing a plethora of issues, the first to suffer would be the people of Jinlan Mountain.

Everyone hid in mid-air, looking at the entrance below, each lost in their own thoughts.

Yu Ziqing's face was as still as water, while Yang's eyelids drooped expressionlessly, his sheep eyes betraying nothing unless he wished it so.

King Xiang followed suit, understanding his role within the team quite clearly. When it was time to fight, he would strike, and for everything else, he didn't want to know or ask.

Feng Buju narrowed his eyes slightly, looking towards the entrance and stealthily glanced at Yu Ziqing and Yang.

King Xiang, who either didn't recognize them or chose not to think too hard, said nothing.

But Feng Buju, deducing from their geographical location, roughly concluded that they were indeed within the current boundaries of Jinlan Mountain.

And within the boundaries of contemporary Jinlan Mountain, the only cave heaven blessed land that once existed was the Jinlan Half-blessed Land.

However, Feng Buju neither spoke these thoughts aloud nor was it his place to do so.

Unfortunately, he forgot that Yang's eyes, situated on the sides of his head, had a field of vision far beyond that of humans.

The stealthy glance Feng Buju took was caught by Yang.

Yang cast a look at Yu Ziqing and slowly said,

"This place should be what was once known as the Jinlan Half-blessed Land, but now it seems to have become not a half-blessed land, but a Grotto Heaven."

"What?" King Xiang seemed to be in shock.

He had never seen the old Jinlan Mountain; the first time he saw Jinlan Mountain, it was already dotted with towering peaks reaching into the clouds.

"We don't know the extent of development here, but at the entrance of this place, evil entities are everywhere, most are quiet, indicating no one has forcibly broken in. If we want to enter and take a look, we can't just barge in either," Yu Ziqing said, ignoring King Xiang's exaggerated shock and sharing the next part of the plan.

They were definitely going to go inside.

Feng Buju didn't bother with King Xiang either and nodded in agreement.

"Not bad."

Everyone landed on the ground, and Yu Ziqing lightly stamped his foot, sending a strand of black Qi into the ground, disappearing from sight.

Lou Huai moved effortlessly among the many evil entities, easily reaching the entrance.

He waited quietly until a large evil entity entered, following the earth beneath it to slip inside.

After the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, Lou Huai again took advantage of an exiting entity to slip out.

He quietly returned to Yu Ziqing's side.

Feng Buju and King Xiang, their gazes fixed, neither showed signs of noticing, nor did they pretend to instead; but it didn't matter.

Having been tricked once, they wouldn't fall for it a second time. Someone had to explore first before everyone else could enter.

"Big brother, the space inside is vast, a complete Grotto Heaven, and the alien power there is strong. You will definitely be fine, Uncle Yang too, but those two fellows might be influenced; they won't be able to restore or cultivate inside."

"Did you do well, and did those two fellows notice you?"

"They probably didn't. The evil Qi here is too dense. When I stealthed, I did not use the slightest power. Other than you, big brother, with your unique talent, I doubt anyone else, even Uncle Yang, could detect me."

"Good work. You don't need to show up again."

Lou Huai's presence wasn't going to be helpful anymore. The moment he took human form, he might be overwhelmed by the stench so much that he'd want to vomit out his internal organs.

"Who's going? How can we approach without alerting those evil entities? I'm just an individual cultivator; I can't do this," Yu Ziqing asked.

"I'll do it." With a single hand forming a Seal, Feng Buju shrank the transparent sphere that surrounded them until it turned into a sphere the size of a human head, and quietly floated towards the entrance.

As a giant entity, towering several stories high, held another entity in one hand while eagerly devouring it and approached the entrance causing a disturbance, Feng Buju controlled the sphere to float in with it.
