Evil Mouth Elder still needed some time to analyze Ksitigarbha's true form.
Zhang Chen no longer had any reservations about the current situation. The minimum number of dice he would keep was one. Before his dice were reduced to one, if he failed to learn the location of the Treasure Zone, Zhang Chen would definitely either pass through the Battle Zone or directly attack other cultivators passing through his area, seize their dice, and make every effort to reach where Ksitigarbha was piled up.
Of course, if he happened to encounter a Hell Envoy in the Battle Zone, Zhang Chen would no longer bother with these ridiculous rules and would head straight for Ksitigarbha's location.
As for the latter concern, it was actually unnecessary. Zhang Chen's starting point and the Xia Pu royal family's location were far from where most Hell Envoys had begun. Only Wang Yizhi and Jin Geng's team were somewhat close.
However, under Wang Yizhi's occasional hints, Jin Geng had chosen a route that would not intersect with Zhang Chen's. Furthermore, Ksitigarbha's location was at the edge of Ksitigarbha's Brain, so Zhang Chen would not encounter any Hell Envoys along the way and advanced at top speed.
As for how Zhang Chen had rebuked Tomie while facing the two late-stage Mahayana cultivators earlier, he apologized to her as they traveled. Tomie initially stayed inside Zhang Chen and ignored him, but she eventually relented and said that she could not do anything outside anyway, so she might as well stay comfortably within Zhang Chen.
While advancing at maximum speed, Zhang Chen naturally came across situations where he could not quite bring himself to strike. Yet in the end, he killed the cultivators' physical bodies while preserving their souls intact, intending to let them reincarnate peacefully after this incident
