Go On, Try It and Die

"Tap tap tap."

In the wilderness, two people walked forward, one in front of the other.

This time, however, Tai Jiuling's pace was not as fast as before; instead, it was unhurried.

At that speed, Gu De followed at a slow pace.

After walking for about half an hour, Gu De finally frowned.

This time, he tossed the stone in his hand upwards before speaking.

"At this speed, it's easy for people to become suspicious."

"What, are you buying time for your Tai Clan's reinforcements?"

Upon hearing this, Tai Jiuling temporarily stopped sensing his surroundings, turned to look at Gu De, and said.

"Why would I need to resort to such despicable tricks?"

"If you believe, then you've come to the right place."

"If you don't believe me, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

After saying that, Tai Jiuling turned around and continued walking forward.

Gu De didn't say anything more and continued walking forward.

Despite his words, he did notice along the way that Tai Jiuling's expression and movements clearly indicated that he was carefully searching for something.

Furthermore, judging from his Undistracted Mind state, it's probably not an act.

Having lived for so many years, he can tell these things at a glance.

"I hope there really is something there."

Gu De murmured to himself.

At this moment, Tai Jiuling's speed suddenly increased.

Then the brisk pace turned into a jog, and then into long strides.

Gu De's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sped up to follow.

A few breaths later, he understood why Tai Jiuling had suddenly accelerated.

Where there had been nothing before, there was now a flat area in front of them.

On that flat ground, there was a mound-like object piled up.

Based on the results of the mental probe, it was definitely not anything I had seen before.

And next to these things, there was a book scroll.

You should know that in this boundless desert, there is almost nothing else to see.

Seeing this is like a person walking in the desert finding an oasis.

At that moment, both of them were pushing their speed to the maximum possible.

However, Gu De, with no restrictions, quickly surpassed Tai Jiuling in speed and soon left Tai Jiuling behind.

"That damn kid!"

Seeing that Gu De was getting further and further away from him, Tai Jiuling couldn't help but curse out loud from beneath his armor.

If it were truly a race, how could a junior of such skill possibly match my speed?

Despite his anger, Tai Jiuling was also very clear that maintaining stability was more important than speed at the moment.

After all, if anything were to happen to the armor on his body, he would probably be the first to die here, let alone see what that thing looked like.

Gu De naturally took in Tai Jiuling's reaction completely.

This only made him more certain that this was probably not a trap set by their Tai Clan.

He immediately increased his speed, using almost all his strength to rush towards the location he had detected with his mind.

It quickly disappeared from Gu De's sight.

When Gu De finally arrived at this location, he saw Tai Jiuling already standing next to that pile of things.

The pile on the ground, about the size of a grave mound, consisted of irregularly shaped, egg-sized stones.

However, unlike ordinary stones, the colors scattered across its surface are quite unique.

However, its aura was something I had never sensed in all my years of cultivation.

Gu De was standing next to this pile of things at that moment.

He was already holding a piece in his hand, examining it closely with a look of curiosity on his face.

Upon seeing Tai Jiuling arrive, he turned around and asked a question.

"Is this what you called something?"

Tai Jiuling remained silent.

He took two steps forward, getting closer to those spots, but then stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Tai Jiuling unleashed all his spiritual power and will, creating a barrier in front of his mouth to block Gu De's probing.

Then he said...

"Senior, is it possible for me to do this?"

For some reason, he had a feeling that this thing might be the source of what their Tai Clan had been pursuing or seeking for so many years.

He had no substantial evidence, but the feeling was unusually strong.

Seeing that Gu De had already started handling and playing with it, he wanted to do the same.

After all, if this truly is the source of this Power That Cannot Be Controlled, being able to hold it in their hands would be of extraordinary significance to their Tai Clan.

The aspirations of generations will be realized in our own hands.

Nothing is more exhilarating than this.

Of course, despite his thoughts, he ultimately didn't dare to try it on his own.

He had no idea where he was now, but he was definitely in an extremely dangerous area that could destroy or even kill a powerful person in a short time.

Then, the same voice rang in his ears again.

"Try it, and you'll die if you try."

Upon hearing this, Tai Jiuling took a moment to react before finally asking again.

"Senior, would I die if I tried?"

His response was a despairing "Yes."

In an instant, Tai Jiuling felt an extremely strong bitter feeling rush to his head.

However, he still asked one more question.

"Are those things the source of this Power That Cannot Be Controlled?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this answer, Tai Jiuling was somewhat numb this time.

Sure enough, his guess was correct.

But this fact is perhaps a little too cruel.

Although, being able to see the source of this Land That Cannot Be Controlled already surpasses the efforts of countless generations of the entire Tai Clan.

But having come this far, we cannot pick it up.

This feeling of being unable to make any further progress is truly frustrating.

Finally, Tai Jiuling couldn't help but speak up.

Why can he?

This time, the voice did not answer him.

On the other side, in the crowd.

Mu Fan looked at the scene the system presented to him, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

"It seems that the patterns summarized by the Immortal-Slaying Clan may not be exhaustive."

"I never expected that I would encounter an exception like this."

According to the Immortal-Slaying Clan, only those Spirit-Forsaken People can come into contact with such a thing.

The Gu De we see now can by no means be considered Spirit-Forsaken People.

"In that case..."

Looking at Gu De in the picture, a playful look suddenly appeared on Mu Fan's face.

"Ancestor of the Tai Clan, isn't this going from nothing to something?"
