The further one walks, the more the eerie atmosphere of Wangdang Mountain becomes apparent.
At some point, rain started to fall from the sky.
The heavenly phenomenon here is completely different from the outside world; it is blood rain!
In an instant, the world is enveloped in a thick, rusty smell.
General Wei twisted his body uneasily, the blood rain did not fall on him, but was scorched into black mist by the terrifying Yang Qi emitting from his body.
Finally, a gigantic yellow mud blood pit appeared before Xu Guang.
It stretched as far as the eye could see, vast and boundless, with no grass, no dead trees, nothing at all, only varying depths of yellow mud pits. Apart from the sound of blood rain falling, the world was chillingly silent.
Faintly, a blood river could be seen slowly flowing through the Mass Grave.
This was a tributary of the Chujiang River, very famous because it originated from Wangdang Mountain but turned into ordinary water after joining the Chujiang.
Mou Zhen from the Dianyin Sect was the first to step forward. With a hearty laugh, he said, "Everyone, let's strive together! Mou Zhen of the Dianyin Sect goes ahead first."
Then, he stepped forward into the Mass Grave.
Next was Hao Gong, a disciple undergoing assessment from the Thunder Institute, whose laughter was accompanied by a thunderous roar.
"This is our Grand Sacrifice of Jiufeng Mountain. How can we let the Dianyin Sect brothers steal the show? Jiufeng Mountain disciples will not fall behind."
Everyone present was, in the worldly sense, a genius, and confidence was something each person had in their hearts.
Among the desolate Wangdang Mountain, the passion in people's hearts seemed to be ignited.
One by one, they stepped forward.
Xu Guang was not in a hurry. It was his first time at Wangdang Mountain, and although he was already Fifth Grade, he was really worried about making a fatal mistake.
Such a mistake in this ghostly place would mean death.
He was very cautious.
One by one, people reported their names and then left boldly.
Everyone from the Dianyin Sect, including Meng Hao, had gone, followed by other participants from several other institutes of Jiufeng Mountain.
Shen Muyu also got up and left.
"Brother Guang, the Mass Grave is a magical world composed of countless ghostly lands. We might get separated once inside, so be careful of everyone you encounter," Jiang Zi Yun quickly whispered to Xu Guang, then followed Shen Muyu.
At last, only Xu Guang and... Jiang Wuyou remained at the spot.
Xu Guang looked at him curiously and suddenly smiled playfully.
"Young Master Wuyou, aren't you worried that I might kill you here if you don't leave?"
Jiang Wuyou glanced at Xu Guang with apprehension, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"I came to tell you that you and your Great Beast will be separated once you enter the ghostly lands. I hope you'll still have the courage to speak to me like this then."
General Wei took a step forward, causing Jiang Wuyou to quickly turn and run toward the Mass Grave.
Of course, Xu Guang was not going to attack him at that moment.
They were only two or three miles away from Jin Qishan and the others, and the Divine Thought of a Fourth-Grade Expert could easily cover this place. He didn't want to kill a renowned genius of the Jiang Family in front of the head of Sword Seal Peak.
...
The illusion wavered, as if stepping into another world.
Xu Guang first looked around. If anyone else was there, they'd be shocked because General Wei had not separated from him!
As the last to enter, Xu Guang was naturally prepared.
The "Three Lights and Stars Secret Record," together with the inseparable bond between him and General Wei, meant the probability of them entering and appearing in the same place was quite high.
Xu Guang looked up. Bewilderingly, he could see the starry sky through the blood clouds above.
The traveler, favored by the stars.
Here, relying on the stars, he would not easily succumb like ordinary people, moving in and out without worry!
General Wei's body radiated a precious light, and the Fierce Ghosts hidden in the blood-red mist were instantly revealed and then suppressed, turning into scattered Ghost Treasures that fell.
General Teng sprang forth, collecting these Ghost Treasures one by one and placing them in the Corpse Devouring Leather Bag at General Wei's lower abdomen.
Xu Guang didn't pay attention to General Wei's actions. Instead, he focused on the bloodied path ahead, as the rotten stench was almost unbearable, but as his Divine Thought extended, his expression became spirited.
Within the area he absolutely covered, there were at least thirteen places densely packed with Spirit Charm.
He knew, in such a Fierce Ghost's lair, such places indicated Spirit Crystals.
Unexpectedly... so ordinary!?
Yet this realization also gave Xu Guang a basic understanding of the dangers of the Ten Thousand People Pit Ghostly Land.
Fierce Ghosts capable of nurturing Spirit Crystals were at least Sixth Grade.
Thus, his Divine Thought found thirteen places rich in Spirit Crystals, indicating there were thirteen Sixth Grade Fierce Ghosts nearby!
Even more terrifying was that a Fierce Ghost's attack methods were never the same as a human's; their ways of killing were beyond comprehension. Even with the "Three Lights and Stars Secret Record," one had to admire them.
Perilous, terrifying...
No wonder...
Ordinarily, if a Sixth Grade expert entered this Mass Grave, surviving three days would already be considered having exceptional survival skills.
Finding Shen Muyu and Jiang Zi Yun was Xu Guang's current goal, but before that, encountering a ghostly den with Spirit Crystals would also be a bonus.
This was, after all, a ghostly land; the degree of danger was unimaginable, and walking amidst it, entities that could overturn one's perception suddenly appeared before him.
Alongside the road, on withered vines, hung a female ghost, her body like paper, swaying with the wind.
The sounds of ghostly wails and the cries of wolves echoed incessantly, and faintly, dead hands on the roadside were crawling as if trying to grasp something.
Xu Guang walked on without regard to these entities.
They were merely wandering spirits and wild ghosts born from dense Yin Qi, capable of coming within nine feet of General Wei's precious light only if they possessed extraordinary abilities.
Looking from above, the Mass Grave was shrouded in endless black and red mist, but as Xu Guang walked through it, he found the environment to be rich and varied.
