At that moment, the elder looked at Yi Yun and asked, "You are also here for the Yang spirit, right? Sigh, you are Yan'er's benefactor. Since you wish to seek the Yang spirit, I will not stop you. "
"This place is extremely dangerous. You can avoid the humanoid creatures outside by wearing the jade burial suit, but once you reach the core region, there are other dangers waiting for you. I have been trapped here for so long without obtaining the Yang spirit, nor can I leave. I know that without me around, the Divine Secrets Trading Company will be in great danger, but I am helpless. There's not much I can help you with either, so I'll just point you in the right direction, "said the elder.
Yi Yun hurriedly said, "Senior, just this jade burial suit alone is already a great help to Yi Yun."
If not for the jade burial suit, Yi Yun would probably find it difficult to take a single step forward. The humanoid creatures were just too terrifying.
The elder used a dagger to carve out a map on the ground.
The underground world had a complicated environment. Without a map, one would probably take many detours just by exploring.
"This is the core region. Once you enter the core region, I will not be able to help you." The elder used the dagger to tap on a particular spot.
Yi Yun memorized the map and asked curiously, "Senior, have you never entered the core region before?"
The elder waved his hand, causing the map to vanish from the ground. He looked up as a pained look flashed in his turbid eyes.
"Young Master Yi, I have a favor to ask of you," said the elder suddenly with a bow.
"Senior, there's no need for that. Just speak your mind." Yi Yun hurriedly stopped him. The elder was on his last breaths, but he still wanted to bow to him. It was likely an extremely important matter for the elder.
The elder had saved Yi Yun's life, so if it was within his means, Yi Yun would not shirk the favor.
"If Young Master Yi were to encounter Shuiyan's father inside, see if he's dead or alive," said the elder.
In fact, the elder had been waiting here for a very long time. He guessed that the odds were against Shuiyan's father.
"About that … Senior, you can enter the pagoda with Xin'er and Shuiyan," said Yi Yun.
The elder was dressed in a jade burial suit. Although he was not threatened by humanoid creatures, many factions, including the Seven Star Dao Palace, had entered the Sun Burial Sandsea.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Young Master Yi. This mother Heaven Secrets Compass can determine one's location in any environment. Young Master Yi, please accept it." The old man hesitated for a moment and no longer refused. He also wanted to personally find Shuiyan's father, dead or alive.
After Xin'er and Yue Xiao helped the elder up, the three of them entered the pagoda. Yi Yun put away the God Advent Tower and walked out of the cave with the Heaven Secrets Compass in hand.
Following the map, Yi Yun walked back to the side of the molten metal river.
The nine heads were bobbing up and down on the water's surface. Their empty eyes scanned their surroundings in a horrifying manner, but they ignored a living person like Yi Yun.
Yi Yun glanced at them and walked upstream along the molten metal river. The river of molten iron contained powerful pure Yang laws. Its source was the core region of this underground world.
As Yi Yun ventured deeper, other than the humanoid monsters, Yi Yun also saw other ancient lifeforms in the river. Although there were very few of them, one or two of them was enough to kill him.
This land of peril was not something any ordinary person could approach. Furthermore, the river had many tributaries, creating countless intricate caves and forks in the underground world. It was easy to lose one's way without realizing it.
After walking out of a fork, Yi Yun saw a dark red lake that was filled with large amounts of molten iron. It was the lake he had seen when he first entered the underground world.
Why am I back at the entrance?
Yi Yun was taken aback, but he soon realized that he had not really returned to his starting point. Instead, the spatial laws of this underground world were extremely chaotic. Although he could see the path he had taken previously, he was in fact separated by layers of space.
If he really approached it, he would realize that the distance had not changed. If he wanted to return to the path he had taken, it would be extremely difficult without a map, even with Yi Yun's understanding of spatial laws.
Yi Yun continued proceeding forward. According to the map drawn by the elder, as well as the Heaven Secrets Compass's guidance, he constantly adjusted his direction and gradually approached the underground world's core …
Suddenly, Yi Yun heard a loud boom. Following that, many figures flew down from above.
Upon seeing these figures, Yi Yun's pupils immediately constricted.
They were people from the Seven Star Dao Palace!
Yi Yun immediately retreated, but he realized that the spatial laws around him were chaotic. The people from the Seven Star Dao Palace in front of him were actually somewhere far away.
After realizing this, Yi Yun immediately calmed down. He stroked his chin as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He came to a halt in his spot in an unhurried manner.
"Haha, we have finally found the entrance." A youth from the Heaven Secrets Chapter said with a loud laugh, as though he was taking credit.
They had been wandering around the Sun Burial Sandsea for a long time and had finally entered the underground world. The moment they entered, they could immediately feel the surging heat. It meant that they had found the right place.
"Thankfully, my geomancy mystic arts were of some use." A middle-aged scholar held a compass and looked rather pleased with himself.
Yi Yun recognized the middle-aged scholar at a glance. He was Master Tianxiao of the Heaven Secrets Chapter. Back then, he was the one who had revealed the fact that the Divine Secrets Trading Company possessed the Heaven Secrets Compass at the auction.
And in the crowd, Yi Yun also discovered the palatial dressed woman, Liu Ruyi. Standing beside her were three other people. Their auras were extremely powerful, so Yi Yun took a few more glances at them.
One of them was a black-dressed middle-aged man with a huge saber slung on his back. There were also two identical children dressed in red dudou.
Although they looked like children, their eyes were extremely cold and mature. Their expressions were extremely cold, as though they were paper figurines burned by mortals as offerings.
The Seven Star Dao Palace had placed great importance on the phenomenon in the Sun Burial Sandsea. Other than the palatial lord, who had stayed behind to preside over the Seven Star Dao Palace, four deputy palatial lords, including Liu Ruyi, had come to the Sun Burial Sandsea.
"Unfortunately, the exact location of the Yang spirit is difficult to calculate. In this underground world, my geomancy mystic arts are affected. If I had the Heaven Secrets Compass, I would have been able to pinpoint the direction. Unfortunately, the Heaven Secrets Compass is in Yi Yun's hands. "Master Tianxiao shook his head and sighed.
"Yi Yun? That punk hiding in the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, right? " One of the twins suddenly spoke. His voice was extremely old, sharp and shrill. It sounded like someone's eardrums were being violently rubbed against.
"Hehe, it's fine. Since he has given us trouble, we'll wipe out the Clarity Pool Sword Sect in the future. As for that punk, he has pretty good talent. I'll skin him alive and refine him into pills," said the child coldly.
