Ten years slipped quietly by. The skies over Light-Hanging Abyss remained gloomy, like a veil of gray-black gauze that perpetually shrouded the heights, obscuring everything from view.
Howling baleful winds still swept through, lending the lonely abyss an added air of desolation.
Before a spirit mountain, a cultivator's figure appeared almost transparent as he glided silently past like a ghost.
He held a treasure map in his hand.
Yet the spiritual glow radiating from the map remained unremarkable. A few spectral images appeared upon it, but there was no particularly strong reaction.
He looked into the abyss and activated his Star Illusion Eye, but could not see through it clearly. He felt only baleful energy swirling within his pupils, and after he stared for too long, a roar rang out.
"A fifth-stage baleful zombie. This isn't the place!" This man was naturally Ye Jingcheng. Almost as soon as he spoke, he vanished from the spot.
At the same time, countless spirit bugs around him quietly withdrew from the abyss.
Among them were an Ethereal Spirit Bug and a Sky-Rending Heavenly Mantis.
"That makes six. Only two places left." Ye Jingcheng concealed himself as he flew over the spirit mountains, his brows drawing into a deeper frown.
The Ye Family had found eight possible locations for the inheritance secret realm back then. He had now searched six, leaving only two.
And of those two remaining locations, one was known to harbor a Ghost Sovereign.
"I hope it isn't that one." His actions ten years ago had enraged the baleful ghosts and baleful zombies. Not only had they driven Lin Tianjiao and the others out, but the remaining cultivators and ordinary creatures had either fled or been transformed into baleful ghosts and baleful zombies.
Few living creatures remained in Light-Hanging Abyss now.
