Who could have imagined, before he even finished his sentence, Fan Wu had already, without any hesitation, walked in.
The Nanjun County Prince urgently took a deep breath of the air outside, which was still considerably fresher.
Then he held his breath.
And immediately followed after.
Although inhaling deeply and then holding one’s breath can’t be sustained for very long, it’s still better than blindly rushing in like some hotheaded youth.
The core area of the Great Demon Forbidden Land was clearly different from the outside. As long as Fan Wu wasn’t blind, he could sense that the miasma in this place was even more sinister and eerie than outside.
Fan Wu glanced at a tree next to him; this tree before his eyes, he no longer knew whether to call it a "tree."
The rough bark of the tree, like the skin of the Nanjun County Prince, was covered in one sore after another.
From these sores, pus was continuously oozing out.
The pus emitted a faint grey-yellow gas, perhaps the so-called miasma in the Great Demon Forbidden Land was this unknown gas being released.
The tree was also covered with dense holes, clearly bored out by worms.
Fan Wu could see every tiny hole.
And in each one was a fat worm, wriggling and twisting.
Not only the tree before him, but all the nearby flowers, grass, trees, and bamboo presented a pattern that challenged cognition.
It was as if tainted by something, or as if they had been influenced by some rural Evil God.
Extremely odd!
Unfortunately... Fan Wu hadn’t seen any Attribute Points information on these flowers and trees. Otherwise, if he could cut down this entire forest, he felt that the Free Attribute Points he would burst out with tonight would at least be in the triple digits, if not more.
This made Fan Wu recall Penglai Demon Island, which both the vengeful spirits of the Demons and Devils and the Sanjie Taoist from Three Realms Village had mentioned.
Fan Wu stroked his chin.
Such a place must have many Demons and Devils, right? Surely much more than in the Great Zhou Dynasty?
As he was lost in thought,
suddenly a voice
came from nearby.
"Did you hear that?" The Nanjun County Prince’s eyes widened, devoid of any spirit, as he excitedly exclaimed, "Did you just, did you hear anything? I heard it! I heard the voice of the truth I’ve been pursuing, calling out to me! Did you hear it? Did you hear it?!"
Looking dubiously at the Nanjun County Prince next to him, Fan Wu honestly hadn’t heard anything just then.
It seemed as if the Nanjun County Prince had sensed what Fan Wu was thinking.
The Nanjun County Prince paused, "You didn’t hear it? That’s not right! It’s impossible! Such a call can only be heard by those who don’t believe in gods and Buddhas, and you are of that kind. You must be able to hear it!"
The Nanjun County Prince scratched his head in confusion, "Where did things go wrong? What’s amiss here? You can’t be deceiving me, but that’s not right either, I feel like you’ve never lied to me!"
"Oh!!!!"
"Right!"
Something suddenly dawned on the Nanjun County Prince, and he cried out with a look of sudden realization, "I know why now! It’s because you haven’t been baptized! You haven’t received the baptism there yet, so you can’t hear those voices!"
"No problem!"
The Nanjun County Prince grabbed Fan Wu’s wrist at once, though his not very strong palm could only grasp half of Fan Wu’s wrist.
Then, with an excited and exhilarated expression, he pulled Fan Wu toward a certain place.
The two passed through layers of miasma in the core area of the Great Demon Forbidden Land.
During this time, they didn’t encounter any bizarre creatures or face any danger.
The only potential danger was perhaps the pervasive miasma.
But for someone with a special physique like Fan Wu,
this so-called miasma, no matter how much was inhaled, had no effect whatsoever on him.
As for the Nanjun County Prince?
Seeing his neither human nor ghostly appearance, this miasma, to the Nanjun County Prince...
Perhaps.
Was just a piece of cake!
As they took one step after another forward, the ground beneath their feet became extremely sticky and moist. When Fan Wu stepped on it, it felt like stepping on a sponge, a weird liquid being squeezed out of the soil.
This strange liquid had no effect on him, but when the feet of the Nanjun County Prince came into contact with this liquid...
Fan Wu could clearly feel that this man’s toes, both skin and flesh,
were emitting a pained "wail."
Blood had already stained the Nanjun County Prince’s boots red, but he seemed to feel nothing.
As if he was oblivious to these things.
"We’ve arrived!" The excitement on the Nanjun County Prince’s face had transformed into a pilgrim-like fervor, as if he was seeing a deity, his most revered in the world.
He didn’t even dare to point ahead, but with an impassioned gaze, he signaled to Fan Wu beside him.
And his voice when speaking had unconsciously dropped, "Go there and sit in meditation, then try to cast aside all your stray thoughts, allowing your mind to enter an empty state... and then, you will witness unbelievable things!"
"You will learn the true and ugly face of gods and Buddhas across the heavens, you will touch on the most primal truth of the Cubic World! That is a baptism, the real baptism of your entire being, from body to soul!"
