Chapter 49: The Phenomenon of Coma

Arrived outside the Sanshan Gathering.

Li Heng looked at the scene before him and frowned.

The Sanshan Gathering, no matter how one put it, could be called a town, and it had a night market at night; logically, it should not be devoid of lights and plunged into darkness like this.

Could it be... that the Sanshan Gathering had fallen into a Ghost Domain?

Thinking of this, he furrowed his brows. Because if it were this kind of massive Ghost Domain, then the Weird within it would certainly be incredibly powerful, very likely at the Innate Level.

However, what puzzled him was that his remaining five points of Luck did not warn him against going. His own intuition as a martial artist also did not sense much danger from it.

Could there be some trick to this so-called Ghost Domain?

At this moment, his expression changed again.

Because the Sun True Fire Seed he had left at the Sanshan Gathering had erupted once more. Clearly, that child was encountering danger, and there was a Weird at work.

Although the essence of the Sun True Fire was high and the Weird might fear it, he had only left behind a Fire Seed. With such frequent eruptions, it would likely be extinguished very soon.

He reckoned he had to go in and take a look.

Not for the danger to others, but also for the Source Power.

After all, because of the previous matter, he had already consumed most of his Source Power, leaving only twenty points, and becoming a poor man again gave him a sense of urgency.

Li Heng looked at the Divine Path Transformation Body beside him.

This Transformation Body had just been born and was only at the Nurturing Essence Realm Peak in strength. If he only sent the Transformation Body in, he would likely lose his wife and soldiers, which was not worth it.

So he intended to let this Transformation Body wait on the periphery.

And be ready to support him at all times.

The Divine Path Transformation Body connected with Yin energy and the earth. Even if he could not defeat that Weird, he could rely on the Divine Path Transformation Body to tear open the Ghost Domain, so he would not be trapped within and become bones in a tomb.

After settling the Divine Path Transformation Body, he let it quietly absorb Yin energy, while simultaneously splitting off three threads to perform Visualization of the Boundless Earth and the Heavens Great Sun, as well as to be ready to support at any time.

After all, it was a Divine Path Transformation Body; the Divine Path could naturally manifest a Dharma Body, and a Transformation Body... was formed by a single thought of his, so it was not surprising that it could perform multi-threaded operations.

It was just that the structure of the thought was truly too simple.

Which resulted in the Visualization speed being inferior to his true self.

However, Li Heng was satisfied.

Anyway, this Divine Path Transformation Body was something he had picked up; why ask for more? As long as it could help him with Visualization, that was enough. Otherwise, his true self would only be able to spend all day in seclusion for Visualization.

Having handled the matters, Li Heng stepped into the Sanshan Gathering.

The market of the Sanshan Gathering actually had an Earth Temple. However, this Earth Temple was located in a corner of the Sanshan Gathering, and because a murder case had occurred there in the past, few people offered sacrifices.

It had long since fallen into disrepair.

But at this moment.

In this dim, lightless deep night, this Earth Temple welcomed uninvited guests, a group of uninvited guests.

There were four of them in total, looking extremely flustered, as they fled into this Earth Temple, splashing up the dust accumulated on the floor, as if there were something of Terror behind them.

Pursuing their souls and demanding their lives.

Two men, one woman, and one child.

That child was precisely the one on whom Li Heng had planted the Sun True Fire Seed. He was currently being held by the left hand by a beautiful woman, looking somewhat dazed, not understanding what had happened.

Fleeing into the Earth Temple, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The beautiful woman looked at the child with great concern.

"Xun, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, Xun has his own good fortune; have you forgotten the scene just now?"

The young man beside them comforted her thus.

"What on earth is going on? Why did we provoke a Weird? Why are there no people or lights on the streets at night, dead silent to the point of being frightening?" the other middle-aged man said gravely.

"I should be asking you! Lu Dafu, did you collect some antique and provoke something unclean again? And what about the fire that erupted from Xun just now!"

The beautiful woman gritted her teeth and questioned him.

There had been such cases before, so she questioned her husband first thing. It had been fine in the past, with no harm done, but now it was truly a matter of life and death!

The woman was named Tang Rong, and she was the wife of the middle-aged man beside her, Lu Dafu. The child she was holding was the child of the two of them.

Lu Dafu was an antique merchant at the Sanshan Gathering, traveling between Bei'an City, the Sanshan Gathering, and villages to trade antiques, and he had accumulated quite a bit of wealth.

However, this trade was profitable, but it was profitable.

But because it involved some ancient objects and artifacts, it was extremely easy to attract unclean things. There was even a rumor that if an antique merchant did not encounter a Weird once, they were not a person in this trade.

Lu Dafu felt very aggrieved upon hearing this.

Ever since he had come into contact with an object from an ancient tomb and encountered a Weird, escaping death by a hair's breadth, he had been extremely careful and cautious. How could he have provoked another one?

"Sister-in-law, stop talking, the danger hasn't left yet."

The young man beside them whispered a reminder.

A surge of anger rose in Tang Rong. You still have the nerve to speak? She suspected her own husband, Lu Dafu, and even more so, her husband's friend, this man named Ye Qing.

He came to visit at dusk, and by night, they encountered a Weird.

How could there be such a coincidence?

However, just as she wanted to reprimand this Ye Qing, she suddenly saw several figures wandering inside the Earth Temple... and was instantly too scared to make a sound.

Thus, the four of them fell into a silence.

Finally, Tang Rong could not help it, and she whispered, "Can such a dilapidated Earth Temple really block these things?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Although this Earth Temple is dilapidated, it was built by strange people and scholars in the past. As long as we don't rush out, and wait until dawn, they won't be able to do anything to us."

That Ye Qing also answered in a low voice.

Just as the four of them suddenly relaxed, they only saw, outside the temple, a shadow as tall as a three-story building, incredibly huge, appear...

Li Heng stepped into the Sanshan Gathering.

Li Heng frowned; the Sanshan Gathering had indeed been enveloped by a Ghost Domain. However, this envelopment was not complete; it was only a partial envelopment, and the situation where Weirds ran rampant had not yet appeared.

And on the main street, a pile of people lay there.

These people were likely the common folk and small vendors who had come to browse the night market, but after Li Heng checked, he found they were not dead; on the contrary, they were sleeping very soundly.

No matter how much Li Heng punched and kicked them, he could not wake them up.

One had to know, their faces had already been beaten into pig heads.

Moreover, they were merely in a deep sleep, and their vitality had not ebbed away. At least, that was the case for all the ones Li Heng encountered. He could not help but frown; what exactly was this Weird trying to do?

It was not killing people, just making them fall into a deep sleep.

Was it handing out sleeping pills to everyone?

Did it have some other purpose, or was it simply unable to do so?

Suddenly.

He sensed the Sun True Fire Seed erupting once again. He turned his head to look toward that corner of the Earth Temple and flew over at high speed. After wandering the main street for so long without seeing even a shadow of a Weird, it seemed that it should be in that direction.

Li Heng pondered, visualizing the Great Sun True Form in his heart.
