The shadowy figure moved extremely quickly, leaving a series of illusory shadows in mid-air. It grabbed the cat in its mouth and tried to bite down forcefully, but it couldn’t chew through. With a swishing sound, it dragged the cat into the marsh.

“Damn!” Yang Zhen roared, holding up his Great Missing Sword and leaped towards the shadow, shouting, “Wait for me here!

Splash!

Without hesitation, Yang Zhen followed the shadow into the marsh, causing a huge spray of blood-colored water.

Mo Xueling and Hua Youyue were both taken aback. No one expected Yang Zhen to be so reckless, charging in without saying a word.

Especially Mo Xueling, who opened her mouth to say something but before she could utter a word, Yang Zhen had vanished. The only thing left rippling was the turbulent, bloody water.

“How could Yang Zhen be so impulsive? He has no idea what’s inside, yet he just dove in?” Mo Xueling stomped her foot in frustration, hurrying to the edge of the Sinful Sea marsh to take a look.

Hua Youyue walked up to the edge of the Sinful Sea marsh, quietly watched the water, a hint of concern in her eyes, and said, “Because he doesn’t know what’s below, he is worried about the cat.”

“For a cat ” Before Mo Xueling could finish her sentence, she stopped suddenly, her gaze complex as she stared at the marsh, she sighed, “Everyone says that Yang Zhen is hardheaded, who would have thought his heart is so pure? What sort of person is he, really?”

Hua Youyue just smiled saying, “I can’t see through him either.”

The chicken craned its neck to look into the water, even sticking its head under the surface. It quickly withdrew, shaking its head and squawking, “Danger!” Both Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling startled, becoming immediately alert.

Boom—!

A huge wave surged up, and Yang Zhen appeared before them, shouting, “Damn it, run, there are so many!”

Boom, boom, boom!

One shadow after another shot out from the marsh. Their claws were sharp, their eyes blood-red, and they looked terrifying. They resembled hairless monkeys, except their fangs were terrifying to behold.

These shadows showed no signs of life. They emitted strange shrieks as they rushed towards Yang Zhen, creating a do-or-die situation.

Yang Zhen was in mid-air with nowhere to leverage, unable to use Sky Crossing Void. He could only step on the heads of these shadows to reach the ground. The scared cat on Yang Zhen’s shoulder was cursing at those shadows.

“Damn, that scared me to death!”

After landing, Yang Zhen gaped in disbelief, “You won’t believe what I saw!” “What?” Mo Xueling asked with a puzzled look on her face.

“Medicine Madman! It’s that old guy!”

“Is he still alive?” Mo Xueling was startled, her eyes wide open in response. Yang Zhen shook his head, “No, he’s not alive. He’s dead, but his death is rather peculiar.”

With that, Yang Zhen tossed the cat onto the ground and said to Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling, “There are countless sea monkeys below. These creatures are probably formed from the congregation of dead spirits. I will draw them all away. When I do that, you two need to dive in immediately. There’s another exit down there. Medicine Madman is there, and the inheritance of the Sinful

Clan should be there too.”

“You found the inheritance?” A look of delight appeared on Mo Xueling’s face. Yang Zhen pronounced solemnly, “This is not the time to talk about that. Remember, as soon as I go down, you must go to that place immediately!” Hua Youyue nodded, looking at Yang Zhen with a trace of hesitation in her eyes, “Be careful.”

Yang Zhen cracked a smile, saying, “I’m pretty good at swimming!” Saying so, Yang Zhen stashed the Great Missing Sword into his storage ring, took a deep leap, and dived into the swamp. Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling glanced at each other, hurriedly trailing behind him into the murky deep. Once they were under the swamp, the two women were immediately startled. The swamp’s surface was chaotic and awash in red, yet beneath it was refreshingly cool. Their gaze penetrated the dimness, revealing twinkling lights. The aftermath was so vast they couldn’t spot the end at a glance. What shocked the two women was the sight of countless sea monkeys rapidly swarming in one direction – blocking the sky and blotting out the sun, like a horde of fish in the ocean, a scene that sent chills down anyone’s spine.

Ahead of the countless sea monkeys, Yang Zhen posed in a peculiar manner, his hands ceaselessly scratching forward while his legs kicked up a series of phantom shadows with an exceptionally fast speed.

This this kind of swimming technique, was something the two women had never seen before. Hua Youyue was stunned, while Mo Xueling was laughing so hard she was spouting a series of bubbles before hastily covering her mouth to stifle her laughs.

Feeling embarrassed for Yang Zhen, the scoundrel cat turned his head away, unable to endure the sight.

Damn it, Yang Zhen didn’t want to look so pathetic. He only knew the doggy paddle – a technique that, while impressive on the surface, was embarrassingly ludicrous under the water.

Luckily, Yang Zhen’s physical fitness far exceeded the sea monkeys. So despite his farcical swimming technique, he was lightning quick and circled back to his starting point in the blink of an eye.

Underneath the water, there was a gigantic cave. Inside it, there was a long tunnel with no sea monkeys. When Yang Zhen went there, the unfortunate scoundrel cat was inside, baffled, and gazing blankly at the countless sea monkeys.

Through the long tunnel and rushing upward, they broke off from the swamp and entered another dimension. This place was devoid of water and radiated with vibrant greenery.

Mo Xueling looked at the surroundings in awe and exclaimed, “This place has its own separate dimension and there is no restriction on True Essence!” Saying so, Mo Xueling activated her True Essence to dry her clothes, Hua Youyue did the same.

Yang Zhen looked wistfully as the alluring curves of the two women were gradually hidden away by their drying clothes, feeling a touch of regret. Just as Mo Xueling had said, this place indeed had its own jurisdiction, it seemed unrelated to the Forbidden Land of Life. Even the red fog and cloud sea didn’t exist, the place was teeming with life and was full of greenery.

Yang Zhen inhaled deeply, feeling a sense of transformation.

Not far ahead, a corpse with countless cloth bags on its back sat on a rock in a peculiar position, with one hand up and the other down.

The corpse seemed ancient, its hair and beard fluttering aimlessly just above the ground. Perhaps due to the extreme age, it had turned into a mummy. As Yang Zhen and his companions drew closer, Mo Xueling asked curiously, “How do you know this is Medicine Madman?

“I can feel it!” Yang Zhen took out Medicine Madman’s memoirs from his storage ring and compared the direction. When he placed it in front of Medicine Madman and adjusted it slightly, a brilliant light erupted from the Medicine Madman’s body.

“Is this… is this Medicine Madman’s heritage?” Mo Xueling looked at Yang Zhen with a face full of shock and envy.

Yang Zhen looked bemused, this unexpected fortune truly was unstoppable. The memoirs were snatched from an unnamed soldier’s hand, he never imagined that it would come in handy so dramatically.

However, this Medicine Madman was really stingy. Only those who possessed his memoirs could access his heritage, a chance as rare as a pie in the sky. Yang Zhen sat cross-legged in front of the Medicine Madman, mimicking his bizarre pose.

Hum—!

An aura gradually emanated. The two complemented each other and with a boom, Yang Zhen’s mind was filled with endless memories of alchemy.

As time progressed, Yang Zhen’s expression became increasingly peculiar..
