This cave had just been created, so the rocks and soil on the cave walls were still very soft.
If it wasn't touched properly, it would probably cause quite a commotion, and it might even collapse.
Although Luo Zheng used the True Meaning of Nature to hide himself, if he really alarmed the quasi-sage, such a concealment method would be meaningless.
Therefore, in the process of descending, Luo Zheng also carefully slowed down.
"Patriarch Qianlong, there are two paths below!"
The entire cave was straight up and down, but here it diverged into a fork.
The conversation below the cave naturally drilled into Luo Zheng's ears clearly.
"There are not two caves. I have already used my divine sense to investigate clearly. The one on the left is a dead end. Just take the right one," Patriarch Qianlong said indifferently.
"Then take the right one!"
The group chose the cave on the right and continued descending.
After a while, Luo Zheng also came to the fork. Fortunately, he had already heard these people's conversation just now.
Now, Luo Zheng did not dare to use his divine sense to identify the path, which was also a big problem. He could only follow behind this group of people.
Without much hesitation, Luo Zheng also chose the cave on the right …
As he continued to go deeper, the bottom of the cave became darker and darker, and the surrounding environment became more and more oppressive.
At the same time, there was also an increasingly pungent smell of sulfur!
"This sulfur smell is too smelly!" An upper True God complained.
"Do you think this cave leads all the way to the Abyss Demon Territory?" Another person muttered.
"Indeed, this cave is abnormally deep …"
The Abyss Demon Territory was like a nightmare to people in the God Realm.
Even the experts of the wealthy families fell in the Abyss Demon Territory. Therefore, this time, Dongfang Chunjun almost turned out in full force to be on the safe side.
If this cave really led to the Abyss Demon Territory, they would be in trouble.
"Haha, if this place really leads to the Abyss Demon Territory, I'm afraid we'll be rich!" Patriarch Qianlong said indifferently.
"Patriarch Qianlong is right. This place will become the first entrance to the Abyss Demon Territory!" Another person said.
The only entrance to the Abyss Demon Territory was located in the depths of the Red Lotus Region, and that entrance had already been occupied by the wealthy families.
Even a powerful quasi-sage like Patriarch Qianlong was not qualified to directly enter the forbidden area.
The only way was to ask for help from the Wealthy Clans and borrow their spatial passageways.
Even a Secondary Saint had to use such a method to enter the forbidden grounds. From this, one could imagine the importance of clans...
Luo Zheng didn't expect the cave to be so deep.
But he maintained a certain amount of patience …
After all, he was different from the people below. These people were attracted by the Heavenly Anomaly after the reincarnation of the Stone Forest Rat. They did not know what was here.
Luo Zheng's purpose was very clear.
After the time it took for three incense sticks to burn, the path became wider and wider.
As Luo Zheng was descending, his body accidentally brushed against the wall of the cave. His eyelids twitched slightly. He was afraid that the stone on the wall would loosen and roll down, alarming those people.
Unexpectedly, when he touched the wall of the cave, he found that it was rather soft.
"This is … the Muscle Stone Layer?" Luo Zheng was slightly surprised.
Speaking of which, he had followed this group of people all the way down and didn't know how deep they had gone. He was afraid that they had already passed through the Gangue Stone Layer and the Flint Stone Layer.
"Below the Muscle Stone Layer is the Black Fire Torrent. That thing can even burn a Sage to death." Thinking of this, Luo Zheng secretly became vigilant.
Just as he was thinking this, a discussion came from below.
"We've actually reached the Muscle Stone Layer. I think … we should go back?"
"This Black Fire Torrent is not something we can resist!"
Some people already had the thought of turning back. After all, it was really too dangerous to continue going down.
"We've already reached such a deep place! Kun Ao, to think that you're a Perfect True God! "someone said softly.
"Yes, we've already reached the Muscle Stone Layer. I reckon we're almost at the end. We're just one step away. If we go back now, all our previous efforts will be wasted," Patriarch Qianlong said.
The Perfect True God called Kun Ao frowned and didn't say anything in the end.
But at this moment, a gust of hot wind blew out from the depths of the cave.
"Wu —"
The hot wind spewed along the cave, making a sound like a flute.
"Where did this wind come from!"
"Let's go down and take a look!"
After these people felt the hot wind, they felt it was strange and sped up their footsteps.
"Wu —"
When the hot wind rolled in front of Luo Zheng, Luo Zheng's nose sniffed slightly.
"This smell …"
In addition to the heavy smell of sulfur, there was a faint sweet smell in the hot wind. He couldn't tell where the sweet smell came from.
But at this moment, there was a cry of surprise from below.
"Be careful!"
"There's something coming out from the Muscle Stone Layer!"
"It's the legendary Earth Ghost!"
"What the hell? Why would we bump into such a thing here?"
Suddenly, there was a cry of panic from below.
Hearing this, Luo Zheng's figure swept past lightly and found a corner in a cave to hide. Then, he stuck his head out to take a look.
He saw that in the Muscle Stone Layer, which had turned into a cave wall, there were four-horned black snakes that were as thick as an arm.
One had to know that the Muscle Stone Layer was the toughest soil layer in the Divine Territory. Even an upper True God couldn't open the Muscle Stone Layer, and even a Paragon would have to expend a lot of effort to tear it open.
A creature that could survive in the Muscle Stone Layer was definitely not an ordinary creature!
There were records of Earth Ghosts in the Divine Territory's history …
Earth Ghosts were the only creatures that could crawl freely in the Muscle Stone Layer. Because they were located very deep underground, there were very few records of Earth Ghosts.
It was said that most True Gods who had seen Earth Ghosts were already hibernating underground, adding a hint of mystery to this creature.
However, Luo Zheng didn't act rashly. After all, the target of these Earth Ghosts wasn't him.
Unless there was no other choice, he wouldn't show himself.
"Hiss hiss hiss …"
These Earth Ghosts coiled their tails on the wall, arched their snake bodies, and kept flicking their tongues. They weren't in a hurry to attack.
"What are these Earth Ghosts doing?"
"They don't seem to have any evil intentions?"
"I, I … Let's go back!" A skinny upper True God said with a sobbing tone.
After this upper True God suggested this, Kun Ao said firmly, "It's still not too late to turn back now. These Earth Ghosts should be guarding something, but no matter what it is, it's not something we can touch with our abilities. We can sell this information to the wealthy families and let them explore it!"
However, just as Kun Ao finished speaking, the entire cave began to tremble. The cave above their heads, which was the path they came from, was constantly squirming, and it was completely sealed!
Luo Zheng was originally hiding in the corner of the cave. Seeing that his hiding place was constantly narrowing, he had no choice but to jump out of his hiding place.
If he didn't jump out, he might be completely trapped in the Muscle Stone Layer!
