He didn’t want to rush out of the volcano immediately, that would expose him to an attack from others, he wouldn’t have an opportunity to use the Black Hole Devour again.
If he wanted to stay under the volcano, he needed to unify the Xuanhuang Tower with the Xuan Huang Inkstone.
Once the Xuanhuang Tower and Xuan Huang Inkstone made contact, the tower’s base and body clicked together.
Separated they were two mid-grade arms.
Connected, they formed a high-grade armament.
The unified Xuanhuang Tower then emitted even more powerful Xuanhuang Qi, over twice as strong as before, Lin Zhen hardly needed to use much of his divine power to drive it.
…
The inherent Xuanhuang Qi was enough to counteract the energy from the volcano.
Draping the Thunder Hidden Cloak around himself, Lin Zhen’s presence vanished into the depths of the volcano.
*********
The people above the volcano were all dumbfounded.
They had no clue what was happening inside the volcano.
But suddenly, the auras of Whistling Wind and Ghost Face Man disappeared entirely.
They dared not go down into the volcano to check.
Even though some of them had methods to resist the energy of the volcano, Whistling Wind had those as well and was now missing or possibly dead in its depths.
No one knew the risks underneath the volcano.
Anyone who rashly ventured down might meet the same fate as Whistling Wind and Ghost Face Man, leaving behind no trace.
Everyone exchanged glances, and ultimately, no one dared to venture below for an investigation.
“Everyone, what should we do?”
“I think we should have someone stand guard here for a few days.
If there’s still no movement, then we should disperse.”
“Regardless, the great menace of the Ghost Face Man is solved, it’s just unfortunate about Whistling Wind.
He just advanced to the Upper God Peak and then met with such a tragedy.”
“Sigh, let’s stop discussing this, I have matters to attend in my guild, I’ll take my leave first.”
Each individual started to disperse, leaving only one person from each group to keep watch.
They all firmly believed that both Whistling Wind and Ghost Face Man were dead beneath the volcano.
The members of the Eight Great Hammers also left.
Even though they were certain that the Xuan Huang Inkstone had appeared here, no one could retrieve it now.
When Zhu Chuang woke up, his mind was still foggy.
The one Mental Shock from Lin Zhen was enough to incapacitate him for a while.
Only one person was unsure about the death of Ghost Face Man – that person was Aegus.
He highly suspected that the Ghost Face Man was Lin Zhen, but at this moment, he could not possibly investigate the volcano.
However, he was not giving up because not only does Lin Zhen possess treasures like the Xuanhuang Tower and Sun Ring, but he also has eight Sovereign Seals on him, which greatly drew Aegus’s attention.
“I must find a way to get down to the volcano and see for myself.”
As Aegus thought to himself, he also had no solutions at the moment and could only temporarily follow the others to leave along with those from the Cherry Blossom guild.
The large operation to besiege the Ghost Face Man came to a hasty and fruitless end.
In the end, both Whistling Wind and Ghost Face Man perished under the volcano.
However, news of this operation did not leak out.
Apart from those that participated, no one else knew about it.
**********
Sinking to the bottom of the volcano, in Lin Zhen’s Black Hole, Death Ripples were circling incessantly, with Whistling Wind already unconscious.
At a thought from Lin Zhen, he tore Whistling Wind’s body apart, then proceeded to clean him out of all his treasures.
Among the Upper Gods, Whistling Wind was considered very rich.
By taking out Whistling Wind, Lin Zhen had collected four significant treasures.
A long sword used by Whistling Wind, a tri-color armor he wore.
There was also the Yin Yang Hourglass he wielded, and the Divine Shield Ship that he kept in the God Realm.
As for the God Crystal Divine Stone, it was no longer considered very valuable here.
Lin Zhen did not query Whistling Wind’s soul as it held no value.
Though his realm was decent, his combat skills were nothing special and did not catch Lin Zhen’s eye.
Moreover, Lin Zhen discovered that everything on Whistling Wind coincidentally was something he needed.
The long sword could be used for the time being, the tri-color armor had a certain protective effect.
The Yin Yang Hourglass was self-explanatory, that was Lin Zhen’s target all this while.
The reason he had lured Whistling Wind into the volcano area was for this treasure.
Meanwhile, the Divine Shield Ship perfectly solved Lin Zhen’s lack of a flying armament.
At least in the outside world, Lin Zhen would no longer need to rely on others’ flying machines.
Lin Zhen kept the Divine Shield Ship, the armor, and the long sword first, then turned his attention to the Yin Yang Hourglass.
The hourglass didn’t seem particularly extraordinary.
It just looked like an oversized object with sand.
Half the sand was black and the other half was white.
These two types of sand were clearly separated.
When they flowed past each other, time would start to slow down.
This slowing time field would envelop the surrounding space.
However, it requires high-quality Energy Blocks to drive this item.
Once placed on an Energy Block, the hourglass will automatically form a Slow Space.
Lin Zhen didn’t have Energy Block, but he could directly exchange it from the Clan store.
Energy Block is very important, a hundred points for one.
Lin Zhen directly exchanged for ten thousand point’s worth of Energy Blocks.
He currently had over forty million points, so he didn’t lack this small amount of energy blocks.
However, when he started using it, Lin Zhen realized that ten thousand points worth of Energy Blocks was indeed not much.
The hourglass consumed one energy block in barely ten minutes!
It meant six hundred points per hour and fourteen thousand four hundred points per day!
A month would cost him four hundred and thirty-two thousand points, a year would cost over five million!
According to Lin Zhen’s plan, he at least needs to practice for more than twenty years here, which would mean over a hundred million points.
This doesn’t even include the cost of using the Divine Shield Ship in the future.
Upon calculation, Lin Zhen immediately felt a headache.
The points he currently has are really not enough.
It can’t even sustain ten years of cultivation.
Furthermore, Hai Yun advised Lin Zhen to save up one hundred million points to face any possible penalties that may arise.
“No matter how many points there are, it’s never enough.
I don’t care about it anymore, you don’t worry about being in debt when you owe too much.
I’ll first work on improving my strength!”
Simply exchanging for ten million Energy Blocks and placing them on the hourglass, Lin Zhen then released the Treasure-seeking Vine.
He can’t be sitting here waiting for his resources to run out.
Now that the Treasure-seeking Vine is really robust, sending it outside to collect some small things should have no issue.
He gave the command to the Treasure-seeking Vine to absolutely avoid attracting any powerful enemies.
Once it collected something, it should bring it back to him.
Receiving the command, the Treasure-seeking Vine plunged into the ground and using its evolved body, it forced its way through the volcano and, depending on its instinct, began seeking treasures.
