"Hehe... I’m just a wandering specter who has found myself again, you don’t need to pay attention."
After a simple exchange, the mummy-like old man, cloaked in black and carrying a white lamp, slowly walked away, hunched over.
Wang Zhifan was quite surprised that the first being he encountered in such a perilous environnt seed oddly friendly, which caused him to refrain from testing the other party, even though he could sense this mummy-like old man was not ordinary.
"According to him, this place is called the Land of Purgatory, and that direction can lead one out of it? I might as well give it a try."
Having seen many perilous environnts, Wang Zhifan had little interest in exploring carefully. He simply followed the directions given earlier, planning to wander a bit to get a rough idea of this world’s worth.
Thus, the journey that followed seed sowhat tedious, as the flowing sand dunes, the low vegetation covered with tiny insects, and the ghost-fire-like presences in the air posed no substantial threat to Wang Zhifan.
Flying through the air, he could evade most potential dangers, and he gradually noticed that as he proceeded in the current direction, the environnt seed to beco increasingly safe, with no terrifying creatures in sight.
"Is this all Purgatory is? Perhaps this is the marginal area, with low danger, while the place where I descended might be more perilous."
Failing to encounter any substantial enemies, Wang Zhifan couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful, pondering whether he should turn back for a more in-depth exploration, although he didn’t have the leisure for it this ti.
About ten minutes later, speedily flying high in the air, he arrived in a sparsely grassy region.
This place had barely any potential dangers remaining on the ground, and there even seed to be more light in the air.
Only two of the three eerie dark red moons hung on the horizon, emitting feeble malice.
On the ground, there was even a bonfire, around which three well-ard figures sat, chatting and laughing about sothing.
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan took out the Wind Concealing Conical Hat and put it on his head, quickly entering an invisible state. Then, he landed near the bonfire to eavesdrop, a very effective way to gather intelligence.
Nearing the bonfire, he saw three human males of this world sitting around the fire.
They all had white skin, average looks, but two had noticeable pointed ears.
One wore tal armor, another wore leather light armor, and the third wore a thin cloth suit, each equipped with weapons like a hamr and shield, a longbow, and a slender sword. Their aura didn’t seem weak to Wang Zhifan.
"Look, we’ve been in this Purgatory for a day, and haven’t encountered any danger, so those rumors on the continent are just to scare little kids!"
"That’s normal, Bob, everyone knows Purgatory gets more dangerous the deeper you go. We’re only in the outermost area; encountering danger with our strength here would be strange."
"Do you think the rumors about countless treasures in Purgatory are true? Are there really perfect-grade equipnt coveted by legendary professionals waiting for us?"
"Of course, it’s true! I’ve seen a perfect-grade sword in the palace with my own eyes! It still had a strong Purgatory aura, surely brought back by the kingdom’s experts from deep within Purgatory!"
"Are you talking about the Philan Sword that’s recently caused a stir in the royal capital? It’s indeed extraordinary. It’s said to be the favorite sword of Phil Jus, the great swordmaster who ventured alone to Purgatory centuries ago. Unfortunately, the once-famous swordmaster has long fallen, discovered transford into an atrocious corpse ghost in Purgatory..."
...
Listening to these locals chatting so casually, Wang Zhifan, hidden nearby, increasingly understood what kind of world this was.
From their conversations, it could be inferred that this is indeed the so-called Purgatory, but rely its outer layer.
The three ca from a place called the continent, likely the region connected to Purgatory’s exit.
And the reason they’re attracted to this dangerous Purgatory is that rumors say there are many treasures deep inside, and they’re here to seek the legendary perfect-grade equipnt.
"So this is a world known for producing equipnt? Indeed... Observing these three, I can see that most equipnt allows for annotations, with the best quality reaching rare-grade level."
Observing silently in invisibility for a few seconds, Wang Zhifan confird this fact with his own eyes.
This inevitably reminded him of the first world he reached through the Master of the Universe Badge.
In that world, upon arrival, he encountered monsters that killed, and he discovered a few pieces of equipnt with ordinary quality, proving it was also a world that could produce equipnt.
Only, the conditions in that world felt quite harsh, and the equipnt seen was of poor quality, so he didn’t spend much ti researching it.
"Perfect-grade equipnt... Presuming from these three having rare-grade equipnt, perfect-grade might not just be superior but could likely have epic or even legendary quality, which makes it worth pondering over..."
With this thought, Wang Zhifan was drawn in by the allure. As a player, he knows how important equipnt is, so he couldn’t easily pass up the chance to acquire good gear.
Having made up his mind, he silently left the area.
But instead of imdiately heading back to delve deeper into Purgatory for treasure, he accelerated towards the Purgatory exit to take a look.
To his slight surprise, he found the Purgatory exit to be a place resembling a large rift, with unstable space law fluctuations within the canyon.
While observing in stealth, he noticed several locals from this world breaching space barriers and appearing therein.
"These locals aren’t very powerful, lacking the power of laws, surely arriving via so teleportation array... But spatial laws in this canyon are indeed much less stable than in normal areas, perhaps I can use this feature for cultivation?"
Upon seeing this peculiar area, Wang Zhifan’s original intention to turn back for treasure was suddenly suppressed by a marvelous idea—to exploit this place’s weak spatial laws for breakthrough cultivation.
This idea couldn’t be easily verified, as the legacy of the legendary cultivation technique, the All Space-Ti Eternal Freedom Profound Chapter, didn’t ntion if one could exploit regions with weak laws for cultivation. However, regarding foundational requirents, it rely requires cultivators to slightly influence space-ti laws themselves.
"This is the first ti I’ve encountered such a place with these characteristics, I must give it a try!"
Once this thought arose, Wang Zhifan couldn’t restrain the desire sprouting in his heart. He imdiately set aside the treasure-seeking plan, choosing an inconspicuous corner in this peculiar canyon to sit cross-legged on a common rock and begin cultivation.
At first, he continued to cultivate in invisibility, but as ti ticked by, he noticed many visitors to the Purgatory Rift. No one would notice him using the Invisible Deceitful Clothing to blend in with the native attire.
Thus, he further opened up, putting away the Wind Concealing Conical Hat to freely cultivate, confident that those visitors couldn’t possibly understand what he was doing even if they noticed him.
Thus, ti slowly passed, and in an inconspicuous corner of the Purgatory Rift, Wang Zhifan devoted himself entirely to practicing the All Space-Ti Eternal Freedom Profound Chapter.
Occasionally, he’d hold his palms in a phantom grasp, unleashing all his power according to the secrets of the legacy, attempting to compress the void.
Occasionally, he’d swing the Cyan Emperor Saber, leaving brief rifts in this unstable space to experience the subtle changes within.
Occasionally, he’d use the spatial movent ability of his blank belt to observe how another space ability influenced the power of laws.
About three hours later, with his focused efforts, after incorporating so of his observations and understanding into the legacy’s power unleashing techniques, he could visibly see spatial ripples in the space enveloped by his fingers, ripples caused by his own influence on space laws.
"I did it! Though it was this easy due to the extrely weak spatial laws here, it’s undeniable this is a breakthrough advancent!"
Having influenced spatial laws through his own ans, despite undeniable tricks, Wang Zhifan was still delighted. This newly provided insight for gradually mastering legendary cultivation techniques.
