Buzz buzz…

A dazzling shine exploded from the Spirit Seeking Compass. The strong glare stunned Mu Chen and Nine Nether for a moment. After a while, they stared at each other.

“Let’s go take a look.” Mu Chen licked his lips. Although the sudden reaction from the Spirit Seeking Compass shook him a little, there was no way he could let go of this opportunity, no matter the circumstances.

Nine Nether nodded, and she thoughtfully reminded him, “Be careful.”

Mu Chen nodded in response, then he used the Spirit Seeking Compass to determine the coordinates. He swiftly looked to the east. When he locked eyes with Nine Nether, they both leaped forward without hesitation.

The area was filled with small, rocky islands, and both of them passed through island after island while scanning their surroundings in an attempt to find out the source of the light on the Spirit Seeking Compass.

With the positional guidance of the Spirit Seeking Compass, their search quickly became fruitful.

It was a rather large island. Mu Chen and Nine Nether floated before it. They looked at each other. The Spirit Seeking Compass indicated this was the spot, so whatever it was should be there.

Booomm!

They stared at each other, and then they acted without a silver of hesitation. An immense spirit energy materialized into a huge palm. Within the span of a few breaths, the island was mercilessly blasted into smithereens.

Swishh! Swishh!

Splintered stones burst forth, flying in every direction. Mu Chen and Nine Nether locked on tightly to the shattered rocks. Their eyes were focused so intensely, it seemed like nothing could escape their vision.

But as time passed by, the fragments dispersed completely. They were both surprised that there was nothing strange in sight.

“What’s happening?” Nine Nether was astounded.

Mu Chen knitted his brows tightly. Their reconnaissance beforehand had been extremely tight, so there was no way they could have missed anything.

Mu Chen looked down at the Spirit Seeking Compass, and he was suddenly stunned. He discovered that the blinding light on the Spirit Seeking Compass had not gone dim. The source still existed!

“It seems like this island isn’t the target,” Mu Chen suggested.

“Wasn’t the compass pointing here?” Nine Nether asked in reply.

“The coordinates certainly point here…” Mu Chen’s eyes glittered for a moment. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the place where the island was. Suddenly, his eyes focused, and his body tilted forward. He discovered a twisted space where the island had shattered, but the deformation was not enough to make a spatial crack.

However, the appearance of a spatial deformation within an island was enough to make anyone suspicious.

Mu Chen stared intently at the twisted space. He raised the Spirit Seeking Compass in his hands. The compass suddenly shot out a bright light from its glaring light source.

Nine Nether, noticing the strange phenomenon, came nearer to him and looked at the twisted space with an amazed expression.

“It seems like this twisted space has caused a strange phenomenon,” Mu Chen proposed in astonishment. It seemed like the island was just camouflage hiding the real source, which was this weird space.

“Is this the treasure?” Nine Nether asked in disbelief.

Mu Chen hummed for a while, then he squinted slightly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, “Could you open a spatial crack from this twisted space?”

Nine Nether was shocked. “Are you suspecting the treasure’s hidden within this twisted space?”

“Somebody took the pains to hide it here for a reason. If so, there must be a secret here,” Mu Chen said.

“Then let me try,” Nine Nether replied. Immediately, she clenched her fist, and an immense ribbon of spiritual energy struck the twisted space. Then, as if forming a giant hand, it attempted to tear a spatial crack in that twisted space.

When Nine Nether’s spiritual energy blasted onto the twisted space, her heart shivered a little. She could feel that the twisted space was unexpectedly sturdy.

With her strength of a Grade Six Sovereign, tearing up space shouldn’t have been a difficult matter. But now, even with all her strength, she was still struggling.

“Seems like something’s fishy here.” Nine Nether clenched her teeth. The spiritual energy within her exploded unreservedly. Suddenly, the twisted space started to vibrate vigorously. Finally, a black crack about an inch wide started to tear apart bit by bit.

With Nine Nether’s great effort, the crack expanded to about two feet wide. However, at that point, Nine Nether realized that was her limit, and the spatial crack started to rebound, slowly regaining its ground and closing up.

Nine Nether cried, “Quick! I can’t hold on for too long!”
