Through the Yin Corpse's eyes, Zhang Yuanqing looked around. All he could see was boundless black smoke that obscured his vision, reducing visibility to less than five meters.
Unlike the black smoke that blanketed Yaoguang Hall once every ten minutes, this place was shrouded in black smoke at all times.
Just what had Shu Mountain's sect leader brought back from the ancient ruins? This was only the Southern Garden, yet the yin energy was so vast and immense that it felt like being in the underworld.
How terrifyingly dense must the yin energy in the main hall be? It had likely spawned many high-ranking Sovereign-level yin creatures.
Zhang Yuanqing remembered Jiang Ju saying that if a peak Sovereign stayed somewhere for a long time, the aura they gave off would alter the local environment. For example, Elder Miao of the Hundred Flowers Society had secluded himself in the deep mountains, resulting in a primeval forest stretching for dozens of miles, where even the wild beasts had evolved into extraordinary creatures.
Then there was his demigod father, who had directly turned the mountain where he lived in seclusion into an active volcano overflowing with magma.
Whatever Shu Mountain's sect leader had brought out of the ancient ruins had transformed this immortal sect into the underworld. From this, it was highly likely that Shu Mountain's main hall was a Level Nine dungeon; at the very least, only those at the peak of Level Eight could enter.
I hope the White Emperor Crown is in the Southern Garden. If it's in the main hall, I won't be able to get it anytime soon... Zhang Yuanqing prayed inwardly.
He moved forward through the darkness, relying on his sense of direction as he headed toward the buildings for a routine exploration.
