In the middle of the night, the village located in the depths of the wilderness had fallen asleep long ago. Regardless of whether it was the people or other creatures, everything was silent.
When Li Yunmu stepped into the village, he felt as if he had intruded upon an enormous beast sleeping in the night.
In the Origin World, there were many villages like this one in the depths of the wilderness, so many that it was impossible to count them all. Among them, most of them were barbarians.
"Black Night Village."
Ka-cha. The crisp sound of dried branches being stepped on was especially ear-piercing in the silent night. Li Yunmu arrived at the entrance of the village, and with his keen eyesight, he could vaguely make out the name written on the village sign.
"Who is it?" At that moment, one of the two barbarian soldiers responsible for night watch in Black Night Village woke up with a start and asked in a guarded tone.
"Passerby, I want to ask you if this is the Ancient Lands of the eastern domain?" Li Yunmu's entire body was covered by a black gown, and he even wore a devilish mask.
His appearance at this time, his attire, and his appearance at this time all caused the two barbarian soldiers who had just woken up to be on guard.
It has to be known that in the Origin World, barbarian villages faced many dangers. Countless ferocious beasts, vicious beasts, and monsters were one of them.
But the most important ones were their own kind.
Sometimes, if they didn't respond well or if their luck was bad, they would encounter a vicious fellow, which would be the root cause of the village's destruction.
But what caused the two barbarian soldiers to breathe a sigh of relief was that the mysterious black-gowned man, who didn't seem to be very tall and wasn't even two meters tall, didn't make any movements apart from asking about the area. He didn't even seem to have any intention of entering their village.
"Yes, your excellency, we are in the eastern domain's Ancient Lands," one of the barbarian soldiers hurriedly replied.
"Oh, how far is Black Soul Valley from here? I need a map of the area." Li Yunmu flicked his two fingers and threw a small pouch toward the two barbarian soldiers.
It contained at least a hundred grams of golden sand.
The two barbarian soldiers were startled when they caught the pouch. They looked at each other, and one of them said, "Your excellency, please wait a moment. We will go and get the map."
Even if Li Yunmu was extravagant, they didn't dare to invite him to stay in the village. They were extremely apprehensive about the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared in the depths of the wilderness.
But Li Yunmu didn't care and just smiled.
This was the rule and cruel reality of this world. The weak, even if they huddled together, did not have the right to live in this corner of the world.
Just like now, if he wanted to hide his tracks wholeheartedly, then everyone in the village would be greeted by nightmares in the middle of the night. Before dawn tomorrow, they would no longer exist.
Facing the entire Origin God Sect, Li Yunmu was the same as the barbarians of Dark Night Village. He didn't have any right to live.
Thus, even though he had returned to the Origin World, he hadn't given up on concealing his tracks. The black robe and the demonic mask were a common method used by many mysterious cultivators in the Origin World to conceal their identity.
If it was necessary, or if some people were more extreme, then there would be no need for the hundreds of people in the Dark Night Village to exist anymore.
But Li Yunmu didn't want to carry out such a meaningless massacre. Even if the barbarians weren't humans of Earth, he still didn't want to take such extreme measures.
Soon, under the careful gazes of the two barbarian soldiers, Li Yunmu took the map of the region and gradually disappeared into the depths of the night.
…
In the heavenly world.
Li Yunmu took the map and glanced at it. He then unleashed his flux energy, and the next instant, the map was torn into pieces.
With the existence of the system, as long as he glanced at it, the entire map would be scanned and recorded by the system.
That's right, the system's previous assessment of the region wasn't wrong. This place was indeed the easternmost extremity of the eastern domain, the Ancient Lands.
In fact, it was known that the people of the Origin World hadn't explored any of the four directions of the Origin World.
The reason why the Ancient Lands were known as the easternmost extremity of the eastern domain by the people of the Origin World was because they discovered that they couldn't explore any further.
One thing worth mentioning was that the end of the world was unknown. It was rumored that even if deities personally ventured into the easternmost extremity, they would never return.
Therefore, after so many years, the Ancient Lands had been the furthest region that humans had explored in the Eastern Domain. It was known as the easternmost region.
Black Spirit Valley, which Li Yunmu wanted to inquire about, was located in one of the corners of this region.
"Oh, it doesn't seem to be far, only a thousand something kilometers away." Li Yunmu swept his gaze over the map and vaguely estimated the distance between his current position and Black Spirit Valley.
[If the map provided by the barbarian soldiers is accurate enough, then the correct distance is one thousand two hundred and thirty-six kilometers. Given host's full speed and the obstruction of the terrain, it would take less than three hours to arrive there. Host, do you intend to immediately rush to Black Spirit Valley?]
At this time, the system suddenly spoke up in his mind.
"Don't be anxious. I heard that Black Spirit Valley is only a third tier power?" Li Yunmu asked.
[Yes, according to the information gathered by the people of Whale City, Black Spirit Valley is indeed a third tier power on the surface,] the system replied with some reservations.
"On the surface …" When Li Yunmu heard it, he began to ponder.
Li Yunmu, who could survive in the Origin World until now, naturally wasn't as simple and foolish as he had imagined. A third tier power that had existed in the easternmost region for many years?
Could it really be that simple?
Not to mention that Zhan Wuya had been hiding in that power for some reason. Regardless of how he looked at it, Black Spirit Valley wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.
But he could only hope that Li Yunmu was being paranoid.
[Then host, what do you intend to do next?] The system seemed to attach great importance to this matter. It was somewhat worried that Li Yunmu wouldn't be able to remain calm and would become impulsive.
Previously, Demon had used the crystal crane to transmit information to Li Yunmu. It didn't only contain the results of Underworld Serpent's investigation regarding the situation of all descenders on Earth.
Moreover, the most important piece of information was that while Li Yunmu had disappeared from the Primordial God World, Li Qinghong had surprisingly taken his place and carried out his previous task.
