Chapter 1362

Chu Meixin nodded. She understood Granny Shu's efforts.

The Chaos Sea was indeed full of hidden talents. Not to mention the sudden disappearance of Chen Gu, even a small place like the Longevity Realm had produced an unfathomable Fatty Qian.

After coming to the Thunder Commandery, she knew that there was always someone better than her. She had toned down much of her arrogance.

"Alright, let's continue searching."

Granny Shu looked like she was having a headache. "The head stone has been taken away, causing a huge fluctuation in the providence of the Chaos Mystic Land. It has interfered with my Eight Trigrams Mirror. It has become more difficult to find the head spirit. We have to speed up."

"Listen to Granny."

After the two of them finished talking, they continued to walk deeper into the rift valley that stretched as far as the eye could see.

...

Clang!

A dazzling sword Qi rose beside Gu Chen. When the sword Qi dissipated, Gu Chen seemed to have lost something.

"Very good. I've finally gotten rid of these burdens."

In Gu Chen's deep purple pupils, he could see that the luck surrounding him was much lesser than a moment ago.

It was the providence that belonged to this world. It was brought by the three Chaotic Origin Stones.

Although he did not know the reason for the providence, he knew that if he did not solve it, he would be a walking treasure trove in the eyes of some experts.

Just now, he had used the Heaven Earth Sword to unleash the invincible sword that could change fate against Pang Zheng.

But this time, it was targeted at him.

Under the Heaven Earth Sword, the useless providence that belonged to this world was cut off. He became the same as when he had first entered.

After getting rid of the hidden danger, Gu Chen looked at the Copper Coin of Destiny Dao and realized that the light it had emitted had dimmed again.

Thinking about it carefully, this copper coin had been with him for a long time.

Its presence was actually very weak. Most of the time, Gu Chen would forget about it. Also, it rarely showed any abnormalities. Sometimes, Gu Chen almost forgot that it was a treasure that could help him seek fortune and avoid calamity.

In a place like the Chaos Mystic Land where treasures were everywhere, Gu Chen reckoned that he would be able to find treasures more easily if he used this Copper Coin of Destiny Dao.

He started to think about whether he should use this copper coin to speed up the treasure hunt.

A moment later, Gu Chen sighed and put the Copper Coin of Destiny back into his bosom.

Although the copper coin had godly powers, Gu Chen instinctively didn't want to use it.

He had studied the coin, trying to understand its principle of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

Although he did not succeed in the end with his attainments in Fate Dao, he could feel that every time he used the copper coin, it would become more and more entangled with his fate.

Gu Chen didn't like this feeling, especially since he still hadn't figured out the origin of this copper coin.

Rather than relying on things he didn't understand to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, Gu Chen wanted to control his own fate.

After collecting the copper coins, Gu Chen continued on his way in search of other treasures.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Chen had stayed in the secret place for three days.

Over the past three days, the competition in the Mystic Land had gradually heated up, and Gu Chen had occasionally come across the corpses of several cultivators.

They were obviously killed by someone. Most likely, someone didn't have the patience to slowly search for treasures and thought it was easier to kill and rob.

Under such circumstances, the danger level in the Mystic Land of Primal Chaos increased exponentially. Gu Chen became more cautious when searching for treasures and tried to avoid populated areas.

Although the competition in the Mystic Land of Primal Chaos became more intense, there didn't seem to be any new cultivators coming in from the entrance. Gu Chen had secretly returned to the entrance to observe, but he didn't find any new competitors.

This made him feel both happy and worried. He was happy that there weren't many competitors, but he was worried about how to leave this place afterward.

There was only one possibility for no new people to enter the Mystic Land — the entrance to the outside world had been sealed by someone.

In the Realm of Longevity, the only force that could seal this place and wasn't in a hurry to send people in to plunder could only be the army of Lei Commandery.

That Dharmaraja Yang might have already notified Lei Commandery and sent an army to seal the surroundings of the Star Sea Forest. His thoughts were also easy to understand.

So what if you get many treasures in there?

When you leave this place and face the endless army of Lei Commandery, what else can you do other than surrender and hand over the treasures?

Gu Chen knew that leaving this place might be even more dangerous than searching for treasures. Whenever he had time, he would think of a way to escape.

In the end, he came up with a simple solution — wait.

When the commotion of the Mystic Land's appearance became bigger and bigger, more forces would want a share of the loot. By then, Lei Commandery might not be able to stop them.

Moreover, that old Black Tortoise was very scheming. Even though he had messed up his plan, Gu Chen didn't believe that he didn't have a backup plan to leave this place.

Gu Chen felt that if there was a chance, it wouldn't be a bad idea to hitch a ride with him.

After considering all kinds of things, Gu Chen stopped thinking about how to escape and seized the time to collect treasures.

While Gu Chen was focused on plundering everywhere, the attitude of the cultivators in the Mystic Land of Primal Chaos began to change subtly.

In the beginning, almost all the cultivators who entered this place fought alone. After all, there were treasures everywhere. Who would want to share with others?

But as time passed, the number of treasures that could be seen at a glance decreased. Many of the treasures were accompanied by strange beasts, so the number of people working together increased.

Later on, the big forces began to rise. Not only did the scattered small forces find it difficult to plunder valuable treasures, but they also faced the danger of being killed and robbed when they encountered the big forces.

In desperation, some of the small forces either formed bigger groups or joined the big forces and began to search for treasures in groups.

Among them, Lei Commandery's team was the largest. Originally, Dharmaraja Yang had brought many generals with him, so they had a great advantage in this Mystic Land.

Some cultivators chose to rely on them and accepted the price offered by Lei Commandery: All the treasures found in the Mystic Land would be handed over to Lei Commandery, and they would be rewarded according to their contributions when they left.

Such a rule was undoubtedly very unfair. It meant that it would be difficult to obtain huge rewards, but there were still some cultivators who chose to accept it.

Not only because Dharmaraja Yang's team was the largest in the Mystic Land, but also because some people had already guessed that the outside world must be under the control of Lei Commandery's army.

Under such circumstances, even if they obtained the treasures, they would not be able to take them away. So they might as well show their loyalty to Lei Commandery. When Lei Commandery ate the meat, they might even be able to get some soup.

Naturally, there were also cultivators who opposed this idea.

The cultivators who opposed were not willing to hand over such a huge opportunity, so they chose to form groups or even join groups that they did not want to join.

Some people relied on the old Black Tortoise because he promised that he would bring them out of the Mystic Land safely after this, and that they would not have to pay any tribute!

Enemies became friends. The old Black Tortoise reunited some people's hearts and became the other big force in this Mystic Land that could compete with Lei Commandery.

These two forces raced against time to plunder treasures in the Mystic Land. Once people's hearts were united, their power was terrifying.

On the sixth day in the Mystic Land, Gu Chen, who was fighting alone, discovered that the difficulty of finding treasures had greatly increased!

Under the sweep of the two big forces, rogue cultivators like him would not be able to get any meat.

Although the space within his body had gathered a huge amount of wealth that he did not expect before, how could Gu Chen be willing to stop?

"These shameless bandits, where are they?"
