348: Chapter 346: Mysterious River, the Corpse of the Lord

Gu Shengge fled the furthest, but the explosion still resonated, causing his ears to temporarily lose their hearing.

Moreover, the ripples generated after the explosion could still be seen where Gu Shengge was, indicating its impressive power.

Gu Shengge's expression slightly condensed: "An explosion of this magnitude is comparable to when Linlang fell!"

His face suddenly froze: "Could it be that a Supreme Ruler self-destructed?"

His face was full of pain, after all, devouring and refining a Supreme Ruler was equivalent to hundreds or thousands of years of arduous Cultivation; for one to self-destruct like this was truly a pity.

Gu Shengge looked in the direction where he had thrown Jialan and Seven Mysteries, sighing helplessly. It seemed his judgment was correct; the Sky Burial Underworld's foundation was not just that little, and there must be even more terrifying existences that had descended.

Otherwise, Jialan and Seven Mysteries would not have resorted to self-destruction.

Gu Shengge did not linger, using the power of his Dual Pupils to search for weak points in the Restrictions, looking for a way to escape this place.

Under his Dual Pupils, Gu Shengge indeed found many weak points in the Restrictions, but as soon as he prepared to break through them, Gu Shengge would immediately sense a feeling of being watched.

After he stopped moving, that feeling quickly disappeared.

At this point, Gu Shengge was also at a loss, only able to take things one step at a time, waiting for a solution to the predicament.

Gu Shengge wandered around for over half a month, finally arriving at an area not bound by the aerial Restriction.

This was still a stretch of black earth, but there weren't many bones. Instead, many Magic Treasures were stuck upside down, including sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, and forks, a wide variety.

Gu Shengge immediately had an idea, wanting to have the jade disc of creation devour these things, or refine them with the yin-yang great mill.

However, after landing and carefully sensing, he discovered that these Magic Treasures were mostly damaged, containing very little vital Qi, and the rare Materials had all decayed.

Gu Shengge was quite disappointed. Just as he was about to leave, a divine rainbow streaked across from afar and landed in front of Gu Shengge.

Seeing the newcomer, Gu Shengge was very surprised: "Lord Seven Mysteries! You're still alive?"

Lord Seven Mysteries's face immediately darkened, but he still suppressed his anger and said testily: "Gu Shengge, you seem quite disappointed that I'm alive!"

Gu Shengge chuckled coldly: "Indeed, a little disappointed, but more so surprised. I thought the Supreme Ruler who self-destructed was you!"

"It was Jialan. He was corroded by some liquid flowing out of the coffin, and his System core was polluted. Besides self-destruction, he had no other option," Seven Mysteries explained.

During the process, he even showed Jialan's image before his self-destruction, though it was somewhat blurry.

Gu Shengge looked at the six coffins suspended in the sky and immediately became nervous, looking around.

Lord Seven Mysteries said coldly: "Don't worry, I've already shaken off those coffins."

Only then did Gu Shengge relax, looking him up and down: "Then what are you doing here?"

"Naturally, to seek your cooperation. We are now deeply trapped here, and perhaps only your Dual Pupils can help me escape!" Lord Seven Mysteries stated directly.

Gu Shengge's expression was solemn. This fellow's words were definitely not trustworthy, but... in times of danger, he could use him as bait to attract enemies, so he wasn't entirely useless.

"Alright, it just so happens that I also need you to plan a route. Where do you think is most likely the 'gate of life' to leave?" Gu Shengge directed Lord Seven Mysteries.

Lord Seven Mysteries released a pale blue light wave, quickly scanning the area.

"There are no Formations nearby. If we keep walking east, we seem to be able to reach the edge of this area, but there's a strange large river at the edge. The situations to the southwest and north are all wrong, surrounded by the Formation area we left earlier," Lord Seven Mysteries said.

Gu Shengge roughly understood that they had no choice. Surrounded on three sides, they could only head towards the large river in the east to possibly leave this place.

The man and the System immediately headed towards the river. In this area, they could fly, so their speed was very fast.

Within a day, Gu Shengge saw the large river Lord Seven Mysteries had mentioned. It was indeed strange; the water was turbid, and many Cultivators floated on it, their clothes bright, as if they had just drowned recently.

While Gu Shengge was observing, Lord Seven Mysteries exclaimed: "It's Guihe and Lian Zang! Have they actually fallen here?"

Gu Shengge was startled by his shout. Following his gaze, he indeed saw two System remnants shimmering with blue divine light.

Their humanoid bodies looked as if they had been torn and bitten by some monster, missing arms and legs, with deep teeth marks in some places.

Lord Seven Mysteries's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Sky Burial Underworld is too terrifying. I never thought that my System race would ever be in such a sorry state..."

Gu Shengge scoffed at his words. These Systems were full of superiority, always feeling that they were the Dominators of all the heavens and myriad worlds, unable to accept seeing a System killed, which was truly annoying.

"Alright, I'm going to deal with these remnants. You don't have any objections, do you?" Gu Shengge asked.

Lord Seven Mysteries's gaze darkened: "I do object. Systems are not to be disgraced! Although they have fallen, they must not be refined and insulted by you!"

Gu Shengge's face also darkened. He pushed him away: "Are you taking advantage of me? I'm going to refine them!"

Gu Shengge came to the riverbank, preparing to enter the water, but then suddenly stopped.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Seven Mysteries: "Lord Seven Mysteries, is there anything wrong with this river?"

Seven Mysteries frowned tightly: "How would I know that? You'll know if you investigate it yourself."

Gu Shengge did not continue into the river. He retreated and summoned Zhujiuyin to trace back this space-time.

The Dao of Time was released, and the past of this space quickly flashed by, with no anomalies.

Seven Mysteries stared at the scenes, sneering: "See? What anomalies could there be!"

"Hahahah!" Gu Shengge also returned a cold laugh: "I can only investigate up to seven days. Let's wait and see!"

As soon as Gu Shengge said this, Seven Mysteries's expression became somewhat stiff.

Soon, there was a change in the scene. Seven Mysteries's figure flashed by, probably because the Karma was too great, preventing more information from being detected.

However, that was enough.

Gu Shengge's face carried a smile as he looked at Seven Mysteries.

"Lord Seven Mysteries, aren't you going to explain?"

Seven Mysteries frowned tightly, and after a long while, said: "I did come here to investigate, but I didn't dare to enter the river to investigate. You can use your Dual Pupils to investigate and try to cross the river."

Gu Shengge glanced at him sideways: "Try to cross the river? Let me scout the way for you? Absolutely impossible!"

Gu Shengge firmly refused, then suddenly changed the subject: "Unless..."

Lord Seven Mysteries had originally given up hope, but upon hearing this, his eyebrows raised: "Unless what? Anything I can do, I can satisfy you."(End of Chapter)
