Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1142: Blood Tomb (1)

The next morning...

Zheng-Fu found a place to stay and sleep that night. And after the sun rose the next day, he immediately left the tavern and headed for Sun Moon Forest. But when he was about to leave, he met Quan-Song. The young man asked him about the offer he had made to Zheng-Fu. However, since Zheng-Fu had already accepted the mission on his own, he could not join Quan-Song's team.

But even so, Quan-Song did not stop trying. Coincidentally, their mission's target location was not far from where Zheng-Fu was going. He, therefore, asked to accompany Zheng-Fu.

"Younger Brother, can you tell me what mission you accepted?" After traveling for a while, Quan-Song could not help but ask about the mission that Zheng-Fu accepted.

"What mission can he accept besides a mission lower than four-star level? A one-star hunter like him couldn't do a higher mission than that. Because the mission insurance fee is so high!" But before Zheng-Fu could answer, another young man with a sly look suddenly interrupted with a dissatisfied expression.

"You shouldn't say that, Shen-Yin. Even though he is just a one-star hunter, he doesn't look ordinary at all. Maybe he's as talented as us or even better than us!" Suddenly, a young woman with a pretty face and fair complexion interrupted him, dissatisfied with her teammate for insulting Zheng-Fu like that.

Tch!

"Do you think he is stronger than us? He looked younger than us. At most, he could only be as strong as us. And judging by his sweet face, he's probably just a rich kid who wants to go out for fun!" Shen-Yin felt even more dissatisfied when the young woman criticized him.

"Enough! Why are we fighting among ourselves? We are on the same team!" Another young man who looked similar to the young woman interrupted with a louder voice than the others, silencing everyone.

Sigh!

"We must apologize to you, Younger Brother Zheng-Fu! Shen-Yin is such a person. Because he had problems with rich people's children before. Don't hold it against him!" Quan-Song hurriedly apologized to Zheng-Fu for causing that kind of incident. He thought that if he had not asked in the first place, there would not be any point in talking like that.

"It's all right, Elder Brother Quan-Song! He didn't do anything wrong. And I don't think too much of his words. Since he doesn't like me, we'll split up here. After all, my goals and yours are in different places. This way, both sides will be at ease." Zheng-Fu was not at all angry at that young man for misbehaving towards him. Anyway, he did not do anything to him. In order not to spoil the atmosphere further and cause the young man's team to be at odds with each other, he asked to go away by himself.

Younger Brother!

"And one more thing, the mission I accepted was the Red Six-Star Mission!"

Flap!

Hah!?

As soon as Zheng-Fu finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared as if he had never existed before. But before leaving, he left some final words.

"What did he say? What level of mission did he say just now?"

"I heard him say Red Six-Star Mission!"

Hah!!!

Red Six-Star Mission!!!

The entire team's expressions immediately changed when they heard that. They wouldn't dare accept even the Yellow Six-Star Mission. Just the green mission was already too much for them. Because Six-Star Missions would mostly involve encountering the Deity Monarch Stage monster beasts and above, while they were only the advanced Genuine Deity Stage cultivators. Even though they might be able to fight some Deity Monarch Stage monster beasts, they could fight only a few.

"I think he just tricked us! I can't believe he accepted the Red Six-Star Mission as he said!" Shen-Yin regained his composure before speaking in disbelief, thinking that Zheng-Fu was just lying to them.

"Maybe yes, he might be able to trick us. But… the speed he uses… I couldn't sense his movements at all. It's as if he had suddenly disappeared from this world!" Another young woman who had always been calm began to feel panic and disbelief as well. However, she was very surprised by Zheng-Fu's movements.

Umm!

"True! I can't even sense him. It was as if he had never existed!" The young woman who had warned Shen-Yin also agreed. She just realized that she could not sense Zheng-Fu's identity either.

"Maybe that's because he's stronger than us! So, him taking on the Red Six-Star Mission might actually be true!" Quan-Song grinned proudly and admired Zheng-Fu even more than before when he saw Zheng-Fu's abilities. He had already thought that Zheng-Fu would definitely be extraordinary. And he never made a mistake in judging what he saw at all.

"Come on! Anyway, he's gone. We'd better head on to our mission!"

Umm!!!

As for Zheng-Fu, after separating from that team, he immediately headed towards the direction where the Blood Tomb was located, with a speed estimated at seven-tenths of the total energy. Zheng-Fu estimated from the distance that if he used his energy to its full potential, he should be there in a few hours. But he did not know what was waiting for him at the tomb, so he had to save up some energy.

Four hours passed...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After traveling for four hours, Zheng-Fu finally arrived in front of the tomb's entrance according to the map he had received. The tomb was surrounded by forests and dense fog. Moreover, the surrounding atmosphere was also cold with the aura of the dead.

"This place is really creepy!" Although Zheng-Fu was not afraid of ghosts, the atmosphere that this tomb gave off made him feel that way.

"Zheng-Fu Kid, this place has very dense spirit energy. If I could absorb it, my spirit energy level would probably increase so much that I could go anywhere in my spirit form. And I'd be able to help you in the future!"

Suddenly, the voice of the Elder Spirit within Heavenly Flora Garden sounded in Zheng-Fu's head. Because the elder was a spirit, that kind of dense spiritual energy space was a paradise for him.

Hah!?

"Absorb spirit energy?! From dead people?!" Zheng-Fu was stunned for a moment when he heard the Elder Spirit's voice speaking to him before questioning back with curiosity.

"It must have come from dead people because this is a tomb. And it seems that this tomb has existed for more than a thousand years. Otherwise, spirit energy wouldn't be this dense. Absorbing this spirit energy requires only spirit-related skills. But I don't know any spirit skills. So, I'd like to ask you to help me!"

Elder Spirit quickly answered and explained to Zheng-Fu about absorbing spirit energy. He did not know spirit skills at all, but he saw that Zheng-Fu had used that type of skill, such as Spirit Seal Skill. He, therefore, thought that Zheng-Fu probably had other related skills.

Spirit-type skill?

"I'm sorry. I don't have a spirit-type skill for absorbing spirit energy. I only have the skill to force one's mind and brain to search for the truth," Zheng-Fu thought as the Elder Spirit said before he refused because he did not have that type of skill at all.

Hah!

"You don't have any? So, you can create it. You have that kind of ability, don't you?" The Elder Spirit looked very tense when he heard that. Before he proposed a new idea to Zheng-Fu.

"Create a new skill? Do you think creating skills is that easy? Huh! It isn't easy. And I was able to come up with it because I already had the knowledge and basic skills of that type. But as for spirit-type skills, I only know one similar skill, so I can't recreate it!"

Zheng-Fu was somewhat interested in the Elder Spirit's idea at first. But when he heard the Elder's suggestion, he shook his head because it was simply impossible. To create any skill, one must have sufficient knowledge about that type of skill. Otherwise, the skills that were created would be incomplete and have many flaws.

Huh!

"Is there no way? But if you can do it, it'll be good for you," the Elder Spirit continued to persuade with hope. Because absorbing the abundant spirit energy in that tomb would allow him to go anywhere. So, he wanted Zheng-Fu to help him.

"I told you there was no way I could do it! Now stop talking about this. I'll go explore the tomb first. Maybe there might be treasure or a spirit-type skill inside!" Zheng-Fu did not want to talk about that matter with the Elder Spirit anymore because he really could not help him. Therefore, he thought of going to explore the inside of that tomb first.

Sigh!

Elder Spirit could only sigh in despair. Even though Zheng-Fu had given him hope about the treasures in the tomb, the chance that the treasure would be as Zheng-Fu said was only one in a hundred or one in a thousand. But even though he was sad, he could not do anything but stay quiet.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Seeing that the Elder Spirit had gone quiet, Zheng-Fu immediately walked into the Blood Tomb's territory to inspect its contents. The tomb's surrounding territory was very wide, so Zheng-Fu had to walk for several minutes before reaching the tomb's entrance.

Whoosh!

Hooouuu!

The moment Zheng-Fu arrived in front of the tomb's entrance, strange wind noises and shrieks rang out around him, as if someone were nearby him.

"It seems to be spirit energy that is protecting the entrance. Although it doesn't affect me, others whose minds are not strong might get hallucinations. And if they were unable to escape the attack of this spirit energy, they might be possessed by the surrounding evil spirits. No wonder everyone says this place is very dangerous!"

Zheng-Fu immediately realized that the wind noises and shrieks were not ordinary. It was the spirit energy attack of the Blood Tomb Entrance Guardian. And if anyone whose energy level was lower than the intermediate Genuine Deity Stage, they would not be able to resist them. Unless that person had trained their mind well until it was very strong.

"Let it be! Ignore it. I'd better go inside."

But Zheng-Fu ignored those noises and continued walking into the Blood Tomb. Because nothing was interesting in the outer area for him. There were only open spaces and many graves with open coffins. But Zheng-Fu used his psychic power to check inside those coffins and found nothing. They were empty coffins. Therefore, he thought staying in that outer area would be useless.
