Xu Zimei defeats an anomaly, an old man who was once the Black Water Great Saint, who recounts his tragic life after cultivating a forbidden technique and being resurrected as an anomaly. Upon the anomaly's death, Xu Zimei discovers that his power enhancement can grow infinitely.

Feeling the power in his body, Xu Zimei began to ponder.

In fact, this wasn't something that couldn't be accepted.

Other people's blessings, although they seem nice, already have their limits set.

However, Xu Zimei's own blessing seemed more like a growth skill.

Xu Zimei couldn't help but recall that eye.

While receiving the blessing, that fleeting glance that vanished shortly after, he was sure he hadn't mistaken it.

Could it be that this so-called blessing was encouraging him to kill eerie creatures?

The more eerie creatures he kills, the stronger the augmented power he receives.

This is the ultimate use of the growth skill.

If he doesn't kill the eerie creatures,

then this ability in his hands won't be of much use, and might even be inferior to many abilities.

"Interesting, truly interesting!"

Xu Zimei said with keen interest.

He's becoming more and more certain, as if an invisible hand exists in the void.

Planning everything silently.

This Heavenly Burial Grounds is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Currently, there are two questions.

Who is the one giving the blessing?

Who is the one letting the eerie creatures revive?

Who is the one setting the rules of the Heavenly Burial Grounds?

First, regarding who gives the blessing, looking at Xu Zimei's ability, the person encourages killing eerie creatures.

Then, is this person opposed to the one creating the eerie creatures?

For now, Xu Zimei has no clue about these questions.

After all, he has just arrived at the Heavenly Burial Grounds and needs time to uncover the secrets left in this fragmented place bit by bit.

Additionally, in Xu Zimei's heart, there is always a sense of caution.

For instance, who is the one that exterminated the Old Universe?

What exactly is this so-called Future Skills?

Enabling one to become invincible in mere moments.

Xu Zimei had previously asked Zhou Yanjun.

Since Zhou Yanjun had cultivated Future Skills, could he write it down?

Xu Zimei wasn't intending to cultivate it, but rather to study it.

But Zhou Yanjun said his memory of Future Skills was a complete blank.

He hadn't forgotten anything else, but solely the memory of Future Skills had vanished entirely.

......

"Daoist, are you alright?"

At this moment, Qiu Baiyin and the others hurriedly stepped forward and asked Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei slightly shook his head.

Saying, "The eerie creatures can't harm me."

"Daoist, how foolish," Qiu Baiyin said at the side.

"You shouldn't have taken the Epochal Heavy Weapon earlier."

"Now that you've killed this eerie creature, you've broken the rules of the Heavenly Burial Grounds."

The rules of the Heavenly Burial Grounds are simple.

As long as you abide by the rules, the eerie creatures will never harm you.

If you break the rules, the eerie creatures will kill you.

But if, after violating the rules, the eerie creatures neither kill you but get killed by you instead, or flee,

you will incur the enmity of all the eerie creatures in the Heavenly Burial Grounds.

By then, as long as you are in the Heavenly Burial Grounds, any eerie creature you encounter will attack you.

Because it means you will no longer be protected by the rules.

According to Qiu Baiyin's explanation, even though Xu Zimei killed this Deceit Domain now,

there will be more and more eerie creatures waiting for him later.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zimei remained nonchalant.

Beside him, the Two-headed Bear and You Jin had their expressions changed dramatically.

Just one eerie creature was enough to terrify them.

If more followed, how could they survive?

Additionally, it was their first time at the Heavenly Burial Grounds, with no experience, trembling with fear.

The Two-headed Bear was already full of regret.

He said, "I want to leave, I want to leave here."

But as we previously mentioned, the rule in the Heavenly Burial Grounds is that once you come here, you must kill an eerie creature to leave.

If you do not kill one, you can never leave here.

However, because eerie creatures usually hide their physical bodies, appearing only as a Divine Soul,

everyone knows that it's impossible to completely kill an eerie creature.

And the rule of the Heavenly Burial Grounds is not to completely kill the eerie creature but merely to kill its Divine Soul once to be allowed to leave.

Seeing the Two-headed Bear scared out of his wits,

Qiu Baiyin showed no sympathy.

Directly saying, "You can leave if you want, then go find an eerie creature to kill."

"Will you... will you help me?" the Two-headed Bear pleaded.

At this moment, he no longer cared about treasures or the King's Collection.

He just wanted to survive.

Originally living in a large world,

due to offending some people he couldn't afford to offend, he fled to the Heavenly Burial Grounds.

He had heard that the place was full of opportunities, possibly enabling him to transform himself.

So he could probably go back and seek vengeance in the future.

But unexpectedly, before he saw any opportunities, he was already scared half to death.

To the Two-headed Bear's plea, Qiu Baiyin paid no attention.

Calmly stating.

"Daoist, we agreed before to search for the King's Collection together, and now you want to leave. Do you think deceiving me is a joke?"

"And now that you know about the King's Collection, what if you spread the word after you leave? What then?"

"Also, don't tell me you won't spread it. I have no trust in you whatsoever."

Qiu Baiyin's few words left the Two-headed Bear speechless.

He stayed silent for a moment.

Then cast a pleading gaze towards Xu Zimei.

It seemed he was aware of Xu Zimei's strength, knowing that with Xu Zimei's abilities, killing an ordinary eerie creature would be a piece of cake.

Xu Zimei simply smiled.

"I can't help send you out, but I can help send you to death."

"Daoist, stop joking."

The Two-headed Bear's face changed, responding with a forced smile.

He then bit his lip.

Stood and said, "Let's go to the Dragon God Temple. If I truly die on the way, then it's fate."

The Two-headed Bear seemed to accept his fate.

The overwhelming You Jin initially shared the same thought, wanting to leave,

remembering the previous death of Qingsong Daoist and the recent eerie encounter.

She was terrified to her core.

However, seeing the Two-headed Bear's plight, she wisely kept her mouth shut.

By now, the group continued their journey.

Initially, Xu Zimei thought Qiu Baiyin would abandon him and seek the Dragon God Temple alone.

After all, being targeted by the eerie creatures now, Xu Zimei was bound for more trouble ahead.

But Qiu Baiyin didn't seem to have that intention.

Instead, he continued to search for the King's Collection with Xu Zimei.

In his words, since they came together, they shouldn't betray each other over these matters.

Though Xu Zimei never really believed a word he said.

At its core, Qiu Baiyin's true motives had yet to be revealed, and Xu Zimei was in no hurry.

As they traveled a bit further, they surprisingly encountered no eerie creatures.

This was indeed quite odd.

The White Bone Ridge here is considered a perilous area.

The eerie creatures here are more numerous than outside.

Yet now, nearly exiting and still not encountering any.
