Chapter 1226 - 1082: Land of Divine Punishment (Part 2)
"Everyone, let me tell you, this is the Land of Divine Punishment, I'm sure you've heard of this place. Anyone entering here must not use cultivation above the Breakthrough Realm! If any of you use cultivation above the Breakthrough Realm, that person will face a Heavenly Tribulation! I'm telling you, the Heavenly Tribulation here is formidable, you must not try it lightly!"The Martial Artists present immediately understood, after hearing the elder's words, that they had been transported to one of the forbidden lands of the Divine World, the Land of Divine Punishment.
In the Divine World, there are some very strange places, where powers even experts of the Divine World find hard to fathom emerge.
In the Divine World, the Land of Divine Punishment is indeed a forbidden land.
Generally speaking, the Rule Power of the Divine World influences every place within it, but the Land of Divine Punishment is the peak of the Rule Power of the Divine World.
This means that a powerful energy has emerged in the Land of Divine Punishment.
This energy is so strong that it can exclude the influence of the Rule Power of the Divine World.
Many experts from the Divine World have attempted to explore the Land of Divine Punishment.
But most of those Martial Artists didn't leave the Land of Divine Punishment alive, as there are many demons present.
Moreover, those demons are not afraid of lightning.
"Unexpectedly, we've been transported to the Land of Divine Punishment!"
The elder responsible for testing said earnestly: "Open your storage rings, there's a map inside. Please memorize that map first!"
Duan Gujin and the others immediately took out the map from their storage rings, and upon opening it, they quickly realized it was a map of the Land of Divine Punishment.
To be precise, it's just a simple map of the Land of Divine Punishment.
Duan Gujin didn't have an in-depth understanding of the Land of Divine Punishment, while Shi Potian's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the map.
"The map in your hands is a part of what we've explored. The situation is urgent now, and I order you to proceed along this route! Once you reach this place, many demons will appear, they're mostly resentful souls, able to transform into any living creature! Be very careful once you encounter them! I seriously warn you once again, if you encounter demons of great strength, immediately retreat, don't confront them head-on!"
The elder responsible for testing repeatedly cautioned.
"Understood!"
The Martial Artists present nodded promptly, their minds racing, realizing this task would be extremely dangerous!
"Once you reach the designated place, you must search carefully! You need to find a landscape painting here, a painting consisting only of mountains and waters, easily recognizable! I assume you find it strange why we are searching for a landscape painting here. Let me tell you, this landscape painting is not ordinary, it's a treasure left by an Ancient God! Whoever finds the landscape painting will be bestowed five Top-Grade Divine Artifacts by the Divine World to complete a set of Top-Grade Divine Artifacts!"
The elder responsible for testing spoke seriously.
Upon hearing this, the Martial Artists present drew a sharp breath, knowing what possessing one Top-Grade Divine Artifact means for a Martial Artist.
If one truly finds that landscape painting, they'll immediately receive five Top-Grade Divine Artifacts from the Divine World, exponentially boosting their combat power.
Among the Martial Artists present, some came from prominent families with impressive backgrounds, and others were born into poverty, lacking any formidable artifacts.
Regardless of being wealthy or poor, upon hearing about five Top-Grade Divine Artifacts, their eyes gleamed and their throats sounded a gulp.
For them, five Top-Grade Divine Artifacts are an enormous temptation!
Duan Gujin furrowed his brow slightly, suspecting the elder responsible for testing hadn't disclosed just how dangerous it truly was.
"How could the experts of the Divine World leave such a treasure unmined and instead make it a test? What are these experts thinking? Could it be that their elites have all perished, placing their hopes on us?"
Duan Gujin considered, feeling this possibility was quite high.
He understood the situation remained somewhat troublesome, for the Divine World truly had little time left.
Especially last time, when defending against the Exotic Realm Creatures invading the Black Hole World, many young disciples of the major sects were lost.
"Your storage rings each contain ten Ten-thousand Yuan Pills, be cautious inside, consider forming a team! I advise you team up!"
The elder responsible for testing stated.
"Got it!"
The Martial Artists responded.
"You may depart!"
With that, the elder allowed them to set off.
So, they proceeded according to the map's guidance ahead.
The Martial Artists present were all figures of importance, quickly organizing themselves and proceeding ahead swiftly.
Before, they had only heard about the horrors of the Land of Divine Punishment, but the exact terrors remained unknown.
"Shi Potian, I heard you've entered the Land of Divine Punishment before."
On the way, Duan Gujin discreetly transmitted his query to Shi Potian.
Shi Potian replied, "Yes, I've been inside the Land of Divine Punishment before, where I found a treasure named Transverse Mountains and Waters. I'm certain the landscape painting the elder mentioned is precisely Transverse Mountains and Waters!"
"Oh, do you recall where you found it?"
Duan Gujin inquired curiously.
"I remember finding it on a bloodstained map, similar to the one we have now, but depicting much more. I can guide everyone later!"
Shi Potian responded earnestly.
Duan Gujin contemplated momentarily, grasping Shi Potian's underlying meaning.
"It seems the map Shi Potian obtained came from subsequent explorations of the Land of Divine Punishment, yielding accurate intelligence!"
"Then, later, please lead the way, Brother Shi!"
Duan Gujin spoke sincerely.
"Rest assured, I will. I don't want to lead us astray either!"
Shi Potian took a deep breath, struck by inspiration, quickly fetching a sheet of paper, a pen, and some ink from his storage ring.
After dipping the pen in ink, he swiftly sketched on the paper.
A while later, he handed the paper to Duan Gujin.
Upon examination, Duan Gujin found Shi Potian's map was at least double what the elder's map depicted.
He studied it and asked, "Why not take a direct path here?"
Shi Potian answered, "There are many demons here; to avoid them, you must detour and not clash head-on!"
Having listened, Duan Gujin was enlightened.
"It seems this final challenge intends to use all of us as cannon fodder!"
Regarding the organizers of this martial arts tournament, Duan Gujin could only curse them internally.
Despite the elder's warnings, Duan Gujin judged that most Martial Artists in their team wouldn't retreat until absolutely necessary.
"Is the route ahead safe?"
Duan Gujin discreetly asked.
"Fairly safe, the real dangers weren't marked on the elder's map!"
Shi Potian replied.
"Once reaching the map's guidance, you should lead as the captain, telling others you'll use Divination Skills for guidance!"
Duan Gujin instructed earnestly.
"Okay, I'm skilled at deception!"
Having acquired many antiques from numerous tombs, Shi Potian could completely deceive the other Martial Artists present.
As they journeyed, they encountered numerous resentful spirits, frowning upon seeing them.
In their understanding, resentful spirits shouldn't exist in a place like the Land of Divine Punishment.
Yet now, seeing many resentful spirits wandering in the Land of Divine Punishment, their prior understanding was utterly overturned.
