In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

After admitting that his purpose here was to find the Divine Lamp, Dongjun temporarily settled in Yunmeng Marsh.

Grandma Rong also knew of the legend of the Divine Lamp, but she did not care much for it.

Because Grandma Rong had no wishes needing the Divine Lamp to fulfill, for Yunmeng Marsh was her lifelong pursuit and dedication.

Though Grandma Rong did not know clues related to the lamp, she could help Dongjun eliminate some obvious erroneous distractions.

Combining this with the information previously provided by the Yun Monarch, Dongjun quickly pinpointed the whereabouts of the Divine Lamp.

Not long ago, someone in a small town near Yunmeng Marsh made a wish to the Divine Lamp.

No one knew what wish that person made.

Yet that day, the entire city was shrouded in blue mist.

When the mist dissipated, the person who made the wish had disappeared, along with the Divine Lamp.

Dongjun followed this clue to Yunmeng Marsh and ultimately, with Grandma Rong's help, identified where the Divine Lamp last appeared.

It was in a forest to the southwest of Yunmeng Marsh.

Ever since the Divine Lamp vanished, an eerie vibration could be heard from that place at intervals.

Grandma Rong originally thought it was a newly relocated epic creature, but she could never see what kind of epic creature it was.

In fact, not only Grandma Rong, but none had seen the source of these vibrations.

Even the other creatures living in that forest chose to migrate due to the continual vibrations.

Among them were several very powerful epic creatures.

Even though mere vibrations wouldn't pose much threat to epic creatures.

However, when the nearby creature groups left, those epic creatures also faced a food crisis and had to migrate as well.

One of the epic creatures possessed exceptional wisdom and attempted to search for the source of the vibrations.

In the end, that epic creature fled in panic.

Even during the subsequent migration, it deliberately avoided the original forest.

It was at this moment that Grandma Rong realized the severity of the issue.

In the ecosystem of Yunmeng Marsh, epic creatures are undoubtedly at the top of the food chain.

Even if occasionally the Mountain and Sea People accidentally entered Yunmeng Marsh, they wouldn't be a match for those epic creatures, strong enough to rival Ascenders.

Not to mention, as a wise individual among epic creatures, it naturally surpassed its own limits.

The fact that such an individual fled implies that the source of the vibrations undoubtedly possesses power beyond that of Ascenders.

In light of this, Grandma Rong even considered seeking help from other Gods.

It was at this time that Dongjun arrived at Yunmeng Marsh.

......................................................

"Is it here?"

Gazing at the distant forest.

During these days of observation, Dongjun indeed noticed occasional enormous vibrations coming from within.

The vibrations resembled aftershocks of an earthquake but lacked the frequency and stability of regular aftershocks.

Dongjun spent a long time finally pinpointing the source of these vibrations.

It was a huge ravine, a chasm that stretched like an abyss between the forest.

It was clear that this massive rift wasn't a naturally formed chasm but rather a ground fissure forcefully torn open by some power.

Standing at the edge of this chasm, Dongjun tentatively peered downward.

With His eyesight, He could not see the end of the chasm at a glance.

Moreover, Dongjun could sense a life stream mixed with the Power of Death.

Although this seemed paradoxical, a powerful life stream indeed existed deep in the chasm.

This is a terrifying force between life and death, possessing both vitality and decay, thriving yet full of rot.

"Phew!"

With a deep exhale, wings suddenly sprouted from the back of the Azure Serpent Dongjun had transformed into.

The next second, the Winged Serpent leapt towards the chasm, quickly passing through the uppermost rocky layer.

It wasn't until then that Dongjun discovered the internal structure of this chasm was far more complex than imagined.

Phew! Phew!

Fluttering its wings incessantly, maneuvering through the gaps in the rocks…

Dongjun noticed that the further down He went, the more evident the signs of decay appeared on the surface of the rocks.

When Dongjun descended to a certain level, a sudden storm layer separated the deep part of the chasm.

Roar!

This storm-formed layer divided the chasm into two parts, upper and lower.

Above the storm barrier was the typical mountain ravine structure, but below was a vast void layer. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

With just one glance, Dongjun even suspected if this void layer had hollowed out the entire mountain.

"What on earth happened here?"

Amazed, He gazed at the enormous void layer.

Dongjun attempted several times to penetrate the storm barrier but surprisingly found He couldn't do so.

Because the strength of this storm barrier was simply beyond imagination, as if intentionally preventing any creatures from entering the void layer.

Fortunately, this was no trouble for Dongjun, being a God.

From His long war campaigns, He had even battled the Storm God amid tempests.

Thus, a mere storm barrier couldn't possibly stop Him.

Nonetheless, to avoid alarming the source of the vibrations, Dongjun didn't rashly choose a forceful breakthrough.

Phew!

Transforming into an invisible breeze, Dongjun silently infiltrated the storm barrier.

With the natural operations of the storm barrier, Dongjun easily reached the bottommost void layer.

Unexpectedly, the moment Dongjun entered the void layer, He felt the life stream He had sensed earlier.

The deathly aura within this life stream had long corroded this void layer beyond recognition.

"This feeling... is it a seal?"

Reverting to the Azure Serpent form, Dongjun glanced up at the storm barrier overhead.

It was under the protection of this storm barrier that the life stream mixed with the Power of Death didn't affect the top of the chasm.

"Woo!"

Suddenly, a fierce wailing reached Dongjun's ears.

In an instant, the entire void layer began to tremble violently, almost as if it had entered the core of an earthquake zone.

Thankfully, the storm barrier mitigated the core effects of the vibration source.

Otherwise, just this instance would have directly collapsed the mountain forest land with the powerful tremors.

In this light, the presence of that storm barrier appeared more like a deliberate seal.
