A dry old tree stood on the hillside in front of them. It grew on the edge of a cliff, and was so thick that even five or six people
wouldn't be able to wrap their arms around its trunk.
Words were carved on an incredibly smooth portion of the old tree's trunk.
It read, "I, Frost, was accidentally trapped in this land of death for many days. | don't know when | would be able to escape!"
"It really was him!"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise as one.
"Turns out Master Frost was also trapped in this land of death!"
Even Austin couldn't hide his surprise.
"Since Master Frost is also trapped in this land, why don't we look for him?"
Ingram asked as he stepped closer to Austin.
For Austin, Ingram, and Tyrone, their main task when they cto the Fallen Divine Valley was to find the two powerful masters,
Frost and Brain.
Now, they finally caught onto the trail of at least one of them.
"Of course, let's look for him."
Austin nodded.
"Austin, is this land very dangerous?"
asked Otis.
"lI don't know yet.
Until now, | haven't gotten any clues.
| haven't read about this kind of terrain before in any ancient geomancy books before.
For now, let's have a rest here.
From now on, I'd cultivate a kind of omnipotent skill of the Earth Exploring Technique.
If | can successfully cultivate this skill, we might still have a glimmer of hope of escaping from this hopeless place," Austin said.
Dozens of earth dragons flew out of his sleeves with a wave of his hand. They roared to the sky one by one and quickly circled
around them. An array surrounding everyone was formed through the dragons.
All of these earth dragons were collected by Austin on the way, ready to be used in case of an emergency.
Austin sat cross legged in the air and waved his hand, making wisps of earthy yellow Earth Energy rise from the ground.
Various formulas were constantly created as he began to cultivate, muttering lowly under his breath.
All the formulas flew out one after another and cto a halt in front of Austin.
"And so he just started learning an omnipotent skill so readily?"
Everyone else just glanced at each other in shock.
At this crucial moment, they couldn't believe that Austin actually wanted to cultivate!
In this terrible place where strange and terrible things would undoubtedly cout at any time, could Austin react in tfrom
being in meditation? It was like a sick joke for them.
However, since Austin was already deep into cultivation, no one could say anything and were all forced to patiently wait.

One day, two days, three days...
Tpassed them by day by day.
Thanks to the array formed by the dozens of earth dragons, they were kept safe for ten days in a row.
Nothing strange or terrible cclose to them the entire time.
On the tenth day, all of them were suddenly shocked.
"Condense!"
Austin suddenly shouted.
A round illusory wooden plate formed in front of Austin.
Mysterious symbols engraved both the inside and outside of the wooden plate in circles.
More than ten layers of strange symbols in total were engraved on the plate.
Each layer let out bright light.
Two small fishes, one black and one white, swam in the center of the wooden plate.
A golden needle floated above the wooden plate, gently swaying to the left and the right.
"I finally did it! I've condensed the Geomancy Compass!"
Austin exclaimed in surprise.
In fact, he already tried several times to condense the compass, but he never succeeded.
In such an urgent situation, Austin didn't really expect to succeed in creating the compass.
"That means... | can use any kind of Geomancy Compass from now on!
Sadly, with the disappearance of the Earth Masters in ancient times, all the Geomancy Compasses in the world disappeared with
them.
It's almost impossible to get a real one.
| can only use the Geomancy Compass that | condensed with the Earth Energy."
A mix of surprise and disappointment flooded Austin as he looked at the floating wooden plate in front of him.
"The Geomancy Compass of the Earth Exploring Technique!"
Otis cried out.
"I can't believe Austin's Earth Exploring Technique is that powerful.
Only when an Earth Master cultivated the Earth Exploring Technique to a high level, could he use the Earth Energy to condense the
Geomancy Compass!
It's an amazing omnipotent skill of the Earth Exploring Technique!"
Otis excitedly explained.
Since Otis cfrom the three thousand big and small universes and stayed on Earth for a period of time, he knew a lot about the
magical legends of the Earth Masters.
"That's right.
Austin's cultivation base in the Earth Exploring Technique is no worse than that of those Earth Masters in ancient times!"
Tyrone readily agreed. He was also from the three thousand big and small universes.
Afterwards, Austin returned to sitting cross legged in midair again and stared at the Geomancy Compass. Various words were
muttered under his breath as he constantly moved his fingers.
The golden needle on the Geomancy Compass was very sensitive. It spun all over, turning to the left and to the right with every
word Austin muttered.
Even the mysterious symbols circling the compass constantly changed, much to everyone's amazement.
"Seems like this is the most dangerous and terrible place I've ever encountered so far.
| have to walk around and check the terrain to see if | can find any way for us to get out."
Half a day later, Austin stopped his meditation.
"Go!"
he yelled, pointing at the Geomancy Compass.
For a moment, the Geomancy Compass merely slightly trembled before it released a surging yellow light that spread all over the
space.
Slowly, the Geomancy Compass began to inch forward.
Without moving his eyes away from the golden needle, Austin trailed after the compass.
At the stime, he took out the Reincarnation Token and the Layne's Ruler. Both were activated and hovered in front of him.
A wave of divine light burst out of the Reincarnation Token and formed a circular light barrier around Austin.
More functions cout of the Reincarnation Token the stronger Austin became.
The Layne's Ruler also lit up and pointed forward.
In a desperate place like this, the ruler's ability to seek good luck and avoid bad luck would be undoubtedly useful.
"Let's go!"
Austin called out to the others.
Everyone hurriedly followed after him, taking great care to step where Austin stepped.
The Geomancy Compass slowly moved forward to lead the way.
Dozens of earth dragons circled above Austin.
The others closely followed behind him.
All of a sudden, the golden needle on the Geomancy Compass began to crazily rotate like a windmill.
"Watch out!"
Shock filled Austin and he hurriedly shouted at the others.
"Ha-ha!"
Cold laughter echoed to the left of the path ahead of them. A human shaped creature rushed out of the thick fog, its whole body a
distinctive pale red.
Swoosh!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Monstrous malicious aura rolled all over them as the scarlet creature in human shape rushed closer, stretching out its big claws to
pounce on their group.
"Fuck off!"
Otis stepped forward and threw a ferocious punch at the creature, his fist expanded until it was as big as a mountain.
But to their surprise, from the creature's ten fingers, all of which had long and curved red nails, ten surges of red light shot out
towards Otis’ fist.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
Both Otis and the creature were thrown backwards by the impact of their attacks.
"Amazing!
What in the hell is that?"
Magee cried out.
Fighting wise, Otis was the strongest among their entire group.
No one expected that the creature in human form could be on par with him.
Right at that moment, all of them were caught by surprise again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Red light continued to flash in the distance as many more scarlet humanoid creatures rushed out from the grass, the dense forest,
the stone caves, and other hidden places, to pounce on Austin and the others.
Roughly speaking, there were more than fifty or even sixty of them!
It was equal to an army of fifty or sixty medium-grade divine gods!
"Run!"
Austin shouted and hurriedly ran to the southeast.
Both the Geomancy Compass and the Layne's Ruler were pointing in the sdirection Austin was heading towards.
It could possibly be a relatively safe location.
The rest of the group didn't dare to continue the fight. They all followed Austin and ran as fast as they could after him.
Sinister laughter echoed behind them as dozens of scarlet shadows chased after Austin.
"Austin, what the hell are those?"
Magee hollered.
Only Austin could clearly see things in this place.
That was because only Austin could use the Earth Energy and apply the Earth Eye Skill, and the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor.
Other people's eyesight and spiritual sense were greatly limited within the terrain.
"Maybe they're all corpses. | don't know why they somehow have intelligence, but it seems like they'd attack strangers who break
in!
These corpses all had the strength of a medium-grade divine god when they were still alive.
| didn't expect that these intelligent corpses would still maintain their strength when they're already dead!
This land can really nourish corpses!"
Austin offered a possible answer after a moment of carefully sensing their surroundings.
