Chapter 305: Asking for Trouble (Second Update)

Wang Lin did not spread out his Divine Sense, but there was a subtle connection between him and these Wandering Souls. Not long after, Wang Lin's expression suddenly changed.

"There is an abnormality ten li ahead!" Wang Lin immediately transmitted a Divine Thought.

Ten li in front of the Compass, a massive creature was swaying slowly. This creature resembled a giant octopus, possessing countless thick, long tentacles that waved as its body swayed.

One of the Wandering Souls had just approached when it was immediately touched by a tentacle and instantly dissipated into nothingness.

Wang Lin took a deep breath and transmitted this scene through his Divine Thought into their Divine Sense.

Chi Hu did not say a word and immediately controlled the Compass to change direction, bypassing it from the side. During the detour, a tentacle swept over, brushing past the edge of the Compass.

"Bang!"

The Compass shook violently, flipped drastically, and was thrown sharply toward the north.

Wang Lin felt a massive force strike him; it felt as if his internal organs had been hit by a force of ten thousand jin. A mouthful of blood surged up, but instead of spitting it out, he swallowed it back down.

The Compass was still spinning, and in the blink of an eye, it flew very far away.

Chi Hu's face was flushed, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot. With a loud shout, it took a long time before he slowly stabilized the Compass. He looked completely exhausted, gasping for air, and took out a Medicinal Pill from his Storage Pouch to swallow.

Hong Die was also quite disheveled, and her eyes revealed a rare trace of shock.

I don't know how much time passed, but Chi Hu took a deep breath and transmitted a Divine Thought: "Fortunately, Brother Ceng discovered it in advance; otherwise, the three of us would likely have met our end here today."

"What kind of monster is that?" Hong Die asked.

"I do not recognize this creature either, but a creature living in the void of the Immortal Realm has strength that is by no means something we can compare to. The power of a single tentacle, and it only grazed us, nearly killed us. Terrifying!" Chi Hu said, still feeling lingering fear.

"This creature is called a Void," Wang Lin said slowly.

"Brother Ceng knows this creature?" Chi Hu asked in surprise.

"This Void belongs to the Lesser Destruction creatures. It feeds on earth to grow and exhales Yin Qi to live. In the ancient era, even if ancient Cultivators encountered it, they would often need several people to surround and fight it to achieve victory," Wang Lin said.

In the memories of the Ancient God Tu Si, there was a description of this creature. It has three treasures: first is its tentacles, which are top-tier Artifact Refining Materials. Second is the Void Brain; swallowing it can increase one's Lifespan. Third is the Void Pill, which is a rare, naturally brewing object in heaven and earth. Swallowing it can grant one a force of ten thousand jin.

The Ancient God race likes this creature the most; after all, what they Cultivate is the power of their Physical Body.

Wang Lin did not mention this information.

"Brother Ceng, you are very knowledgeable. I admire you," Chi Hu said.

"Who knows if it's true or false? Don't just make up a name," Hong Die snorted softly and said coldly.

Wang Lin said indifferently: "Ignorant!"

"You!" Hong Die's eyes flashed.

Chi Hu had a headache and was about to speak, but Wang Lin said: "This creature usually keeps its tentacles retracted and only spreads them when foraging. Brother Chi Hu, fly north quickly. While foraging, this creature will emit Void Qi. That Void Qi turns red, and it is not something we can withstand."

Chi Hu was stunned. Going further north from here would mean getting completely lost. He couldn't help but hesitate. In fact, he himself was somewhat skeptical of what Wang Lin had said earlier, but he wouldn't expose him directly like Hong Die.

Wang Lin sighed inwardly, stood up, and without another word, stepped down, immediately rushing off the Compass. The Restriction Banner instantly wrapped around his entire body as he sped toward the north.

"Brother Ceng!" Chi Hu was shocked.

"It's better that he left. I don't believe he really knows that creature," Hong Die said coldly.

Chi Hu frowned. To be sure, he gritted his teeth and risked spreading out his Divine Sense toward the south. Not long after, his expression changed, as he saw a continuous wave of red Qi appearing in the distance, spreading rapidly and rushing toward them from afar.

Chi Hu was greatly startled and, without saying a word, controlled the Compass to fly rapidly toward the north.

Hong Die was also stunned. After scanning with her Divine Sense, her face immediately turned ugly.

After leaving the Compass, Wang Lin moved at high speed, racing toward the north. Although he did not know the power of that red Qi wave, the memory of the Ancient God Tu Si had a deep impression of this Qi wave.

Therefore, he did not hesitate at all to leave the Compass and fly away alone.

Chi Hu's expression was gloomy as he controlled the Compass to fly rapidly, but that red mist was extremely terrifying and pounced on them almost instantly.

"Crack!"

A corner of the Compass strangely disappeared the moment it touched the red Qi wave, as if it had been swallowed alive.

The Compass shook violently, Chi Hu spat out a mouthful of blood, and even Hong Die's face flushed an unusual red.

"Hong Die, attack! I am using all my strength to control the Compass and have no time to use Spells to resist!" Chi Hu roared. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt quite regretful in his heart. He shouldn't have ignored Ceng Niu's advice; otherwise, with the speed of the Compass, how could they have encountered this disaster now?

Hong Die did not say a word and tapped her glabella. The rose appeared again, and she quickly plucked two petals with her right hand and flicked them toward the red Qi wave.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two loud, earth-shattering bangs came, and the red Qi wave immediately paused and exploded in all directions. A sweet taste rose in Hong Die's throat, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Taking advantage of the pause in the Qi wave, Chi Hu's eyes were bloodshot as he frantically controlled the Compass to force his way out of the red Qi wave, but they were not yet out of danger.

The red Qi wave, struck by the rose petals, split open a gap, but this gap now resembled a large mouth, rapidly swallowing toward the Compass.

"Boom!"

The big mouth closed, the Compass shook again, and Rifts appeared on it. Chi Hu was almost exhausted, and Hong Die's face was pale.

"Boom!"

It swallowed again, and this time, it was only by a hair's breadth.

Gritting her teeth, Hong Die plucked a stamen from the rose and flicked it toward the Qi wave.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The intense booming sounds were clearly heard even by Wang Lin, who was in the distance. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sped up even more.

The large mouth formed by the devouring Qi wave immediately dissipated. The Compass finally rushed out of it completely, turning into a shooting star and suddenly heading north.

Hong Die's expression was uglier than it had ever been. When petals disappeared, they could be automatically replenished, but there were only three stamens; each time one disappeared, it was very difficult to replace.

While flying, Wang Lin paused his body and stopped in mid-air, looking back from afar. Not long after, he saw the Compass flying over in a disheveled state. When Chi Hu saw Wang Lin from afar, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this moment, Wang Lin's importance in his heart grew infinitely, already surpassing that of Hong Die.

He took a deep breath, and the Compass stopped beside Wang Lin. He smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Ceng, come up and we'll talk."

Wang Lin was not coy either. With a movement of his body, he landed on the eastern side of the Compass and sat down cross-legged.

This Compass was now missing a corner, with only the east, west, and north sides remaining.

"Brother Ceng, I know I was wrong about what happened before. I don't know what other means that creature has after the red Qi wave? How should we choose our direction next?" Chi Hu said with some embarrassment.

Hong Die's expression was ugly, and she did not say a word.

"Since we have escaped the Qi wave, there will be no major problems for a short time. Brother Chi Hu, just find a way to fly according to the map's direction," Wang Lin said indifferently.

Chi Hu nodded bitterly, sighing inwardly that this trip needed to be completed as soon as possible; otherwise, with the Compass damaged now, it would likely be difficult to fly for a long time.

A few days later, Chi Hu found a point on the map, and the Compass flew rapidly in the direction indicated by the map.

Along the way, Hong Die remained silent, letting Wang Lin explore the path. Chi Hu no longer had any hesitation regarding what Wang Lin said and followed everything.

In the void, there were all kinds of creatures. On this journey, Wang Lin's knowledge increased more than several times over. He encountered many exotic creatures from the memories of the Ancient God Tu Si one by one.

Under his advance guidance, the Compass flew through the perilous void without any danger.

The distance to the destination was getting closer and closer.

Sailing in the void was extremely time-consuming. Those exotic creatures were not everywhere. At this moment, it had been more than ten days, and they had not encountered any dangerous creatures again.

Wang Lin sat cross-legged on the Compass, occasionally discussing the Dao with Chi Hu, and both felt they had gained a lot.

"My Giant Demon Race is not originally from the Vermilion Bird Star; it was migrated by our ancestors countless years ago. Therefore, in some Divine Abilities, it is naturally different from yours," Chi Hu said with a smile.

Wang Lin nodded secretly.

Time passed in a hurry. One day, Wang Lin was sitting with his eyes closed, sensing the Wandering Souls from afar. Suddenly, he opened his eyes sharply and looked into the distance. Through the Wandering Souls, he saw a floating object about several zhang in size in the distance.

This floating object looked like a large stone, shimmering with purple and gold light.

"Golden Purple Stone!" Wang Lin's heart shook.

In the memories of the Ancient God Tu Si, among the Materials for making a Star Compass, one of the essential items was exactly this Golden Purple Stone. If he hadn't seen the Star Compass before, Wang Lin might not have been moved.

But at this moment, Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He stood up and said indifferently: "Brother Chi Hu, wait a moment. I see an Artifact Refining Material. It's not too late to leave after I retrieve it."

As he spoke, without waiting for the other party to speak, his body moved, and he quickly flew toward where the Golden Purple Stone was.

"Back when I was experiencing the mortal world and comprehending the Heavenly Dao, I once met a Senior who called himself Heavenly Fate Child. This person once said that if I could walk out of the Vermilion Bird Star, I could go to the Tian Yun Star to find him, and he would take me as a Named Disciple for a hundred years. This person's cultivation must be divine. I cannot give up this opportunity. This Star Compass must be obtained," Wang Lin thought to himself.

He moved at high speed. Not long after, he arrived at where the Golden Purple Stone was. Looking at this large piece of Golden Purple Stone, Wang Lin took a deep breath, put it into his Storage Pouch, and then turned back.

After returning to the Compass, Chi Hu asked what kind of Material he had retrieved, but Wang Lin smiled and avoided the question.

More than a month passed. Wang Lin constantly explored the surroundings, but unfortunately, he did not find any more Materials. One day, while the Compass was flying in the void, it suddenly vibrated violently, and Rifts appeared on it, spreading rapidly.

At the same time, a powerful resistance suddenly emerged, throwing the three of them off the Compass.

"The two of you, the Compass is severely damaged and cannot continue to fly. The three of us should just travel by our own magic power. Fortunately, the distance is not far. At full speed, we should arrive in about three days," Chi Hu smiled bitterly. With a wave of his right hand, the Compass immediately shrank and he put it away.

Three days passed in a flash. On this day, Wang Lin saw a piece of land from afar. This place was exactly the first layer of the Immortal Realm fragments.
