Mu Fan: I Really Wasn't the Columbus of This Savage Land

How are you feeling, brother?

As soon as Mu Fan returned, several people crowded around him.

One of them looked at Mu Fan's eight-pack abs with a look of admiration and wonder.

"I never expected you to be so unassuming."

Mu Fan shook his head and said.

"It's indeed not a good time to go any further."

"But I'm still satisfied that we've made it this far."

"If it doesn't work this time, we'll try again next time. Maybe one day we'll be able to go even further."

After saying that, Mu Fan smiled at the tall, thin figure and said...

What if?

"Yeah, what if?"

The tall, slender figure nodded and smiled.

"Alright, let's go."

Mu Fan waved his hand, and as soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared.

"Let's go too."

Seeing Mu Fan leave, the others exchanged glances and then departed.

In the blink of an eye, only that tall, thin figure remained.

He didn't rush to leave, but instead gazed at the desolate landscape in the distance for a long time before shaking his head and sighing.

"Sigh, there's no such thing as 'what if'."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Meanwhile, in the desolate land, Mu Fan's figure was striding briskly towards the distance.

After advancing a short distance, Mu Fan paused, took a moment to consider the situation, and then revealed an expression of certainty on his face, saying...

"The further you go, the stronger the radiation becomes, and the damage to spiritual energy increases exponentially. No wonder everyone here says they can't control this Power That Cannot Be Controlled."

"Trying to put that kind of thing inside your body is practically suicide."

"Leaving aside whether it's possible to accumulate this kind of radiating power into the body, its destructive effect on spiritual energy alone means it absolutely cannot be allowed to enter the body."

After all, the first step for cultivators is body tempering, and the purpose of body tempering is to allow spiritual energy to enter the body.

The higher one's cultivation level, the closer the integration between the body and spiritual power becomes, to the point that, to a certain extent, it can be said that there is not much difference between the body and spiritual power.

According to his estimation, if such a person went to the farthest reaches, it would be no different than jumping into a fire pit.

"If it were me in the past, I probably would have ended up the same way, but now that I have the system, I don't have to worry about that risk."

Putting aside his thoughts, Mu Fan simply activated his techniques.

Instantly, with a whoosh, Mu Fan's figure flickered continuously in the void, and with each flicker, his figure would traverse an extremely long distance.

After some time, Mu Fan let out a soft breath and looked around. All around him was desolation.

The next moment, Mu Fan raised his hand, took out an object, and threw it into the air.

"Brush--"

The object traced a high parabola in mid-air, while at the same time, subtle changes were visibly and rapidly occurring on its surface.

"Smack--"

When the object fell to the ground, it was already half damaged.

"The power has already reached this level, yet it hasn't reached the center yet?"

As he spoke, Mu Fan's face was full of emotion.

When I looked at this place from a distance, I was amazed by how vast this desolate area was. Now that I am here, I feel that this desolate area is even more boundless.

After walking for a while...

"Brush--"

Mu Fan threw out another object.

At roughly the same height, only about 30% of the object was damaged when it landed this time.

At that moment, Mu Fan's expression shifted.

Did you miss the center?

After saying that, Mu Fan looked around, chose a direction, and continued forward.

After walking for a while, Mu Fan repeated the same method and then turned around again.

"No wonder I can't find the source of this radiation. I can't determine it with my physical senses, and my willpower is useless. At this rate, I'll waste so much time going around in circles."

After making a complaint, Mu Fan continued forward.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and a chasm began to appear in Mu Fan's vision, stretching into the distance.

Seeing this scene, Mu Fan's expression shifted slightly, and he murmured softly.

"So, the source of this radiation is very likely underground?"

At that moment, Mu Fan headed towards the rift valley.

The scene inside the rift valley was just as desolate as the outside.

The difference is that the distance in the rift valley adds a touch of darkness and eeriness.

After walking a short distance forward, you can see many ordinary objects, such as strips of cloth, some new and some old, scattered on the ground of the rift valley.

"Looking at it this way, quite a few people have indeed chosen the shortcut."

Mu Fan looked up. Although the feeling in this rift valley was unique, it did not affect his mental exploration, nor did it affect his visual observation.

Outside this rift valley, there were indeed not so many miscellaneous items.

He estimated that this was because many people chose to parachute in, but the result was rather disastrous.

The radiation in this area is incredibly strong. If it were a mortal, perhaps they could leave a trace here, but if a cultivator came here, unless they could come up with an effective method, they would definitely not even find any remains, just like now.

"That's a real shame."

Mu Fan gently shook his head.

"If we could preserve his remains, this place could probably become Zhong Ming's happy old home."

After walking forward through the rift valley for a while, Mu Fan stopped at a certain spot.

This is it.

After saying that, Mu Fan turned to face the high cliff in front of him.

"Judging from this, it's obvious someone used some means to hide this place."

After surveying the cliff face from top to bottom, Mu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So, in that case, I really am not the Columbus of this Savage Land."

The cliff now appears so naturally formed, blending seamlessly with the surrounding cliffs despite the erosion of time.

However, this is only what the naked eye can see; one can still use divine sense to explore this area.

Beyond this cliff, there is clearly a sealed-off crevice.

After observing for a moment, Mu Fan suddenly had a thought.

"Mirror Realm."

"Brush--"

With a flash of light and shadow, Mu Fan's figure disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were behind the sealed stone wall.

The scene before them instantly turned into darkness. The forked crevice did not lead directly to the bottom; the unusual environment made it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

Mu Fan raised his hand and waved it, instantly condensing spiritual energy into a ball, which, like a searchlight, illuminated the surroundings.

Immediately afterwards, the light fluctuated more intensely before disappearing completely.

After experiencing the exertion he had just suffered, Mu Fan looked helpless.

"This place is really not a place to relax."
