Since that elder in the black robe said the heavens and earth should return to darkness before they leave this cave, Shi Feng obeyed him, and the two of them waited slowly in this cave, waiting for the night to fall.

Before the land turned dark, Shi Feng sat cross-legged once more, in his mind, recalling in detail the scenes from the battle with the Yan Clan Patriarch Yan Lie last night and those formless powers that Yan Lie used to destroy him.

Shi Feng hoped to capture the Secret of Becoming a God from last night's battle, even a hint would be good.

However, as most of the day passed, Shi Feng was still unable to glimpse the Secret of Becoming a God from his memories.

At this time, that slightly hoarse elderly voice resounded again in this narrow cave:

"Your talent is indeed quite impressive, at such a young age to possess the strength of a Nine-star Emperor-level, stepping into the Demigod Realm is only a matter of time. Our Mountain Witch Clan has always welcomed strong individuals, how about joining our Mountain Witch Clan?"

Upon hearing the words of the elder in the black robe, Shi Feng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the person in the black robe, and murmured: "Join your Mountain Witch Clan?" Then, Shi Feng slowly shook his head and said, "Forget it! I don't want to join any group or force. I don't like following orders from others or being controlled by others."

After speaking, Shi Feng continued to close his eyes and recall the scenes from last night's battle, paying no more attention to the elderly in the black robe.

The Secret of Becoming a God! Shi Feng had been desperately seeking it in his previous life, and now, in this life, despite being reborn twice and coming to this Wilderness Continent where Demigod Realm experts are not uncommon, he still has not managed to glimpse even a tiny bit of the Secret of Becoming a God. Could his martial arts talent really be this limited?

No! How is that possible! He is the Emperor Nine Nether! The greatest expert of the Tianheng Continent! Emperor Nine Nether!

As time gradually passed, the sky transitioned from dusk to darkness, the night fell upon this land.

The black-robed man once again turned into a vague shadow, standing at the entrance of the cave, addressing Shi Feng from behind: "Alright, little kid, we can set out now."

Shi Feng was disturbed again by the voice of the black-robed man; as he opened his eyes, disappointment still lingered on his face. After a whole day of recollection and insight, Shi Feng still wasn't able to peer into the Demigod Realm which was both far and near to him.

"Maybe, once the energy in my Dantian this life reaches completion, perhaps my mindset will be different! Everything, let's wait until the Dantian is full and merged with the Sacred Flame, otherwise, even glimpsing the Secret of Becoming a God would be futile."

Shi Feng whispered to himself, then the body seated cross-legged slowly stood up, walking towards the person in the black robe standing at the entrance of the cave.

Sensing his approach, the black-robed man spoke again to Shi Feng:

"Traveling through the night sky might be fast, but it's easy to be discovered by others, so it's inadvisable. If we want to successfully leave this Great Wilderness without being discovered by those damned tribal clans, we cannot take the route through the air."

Shi Feng walked to the vague shadow's side, hearing the black-robed elder's words, a spark flickered in Shi Feng's eyes, he said: "Since we can't take the aerial route, then we'll take the underground road!"

"Taking the underground road?" The vague shadow lowered his head upon hearing Shi Feng's words, looking at the ground beneath his feet, he said: "The underground route does sound good, but can you, kid, manipulate the Power of Earth and use Earth Tunneling?"

"Since I suggested taking the underground path, naturally, I can manage it, as long as you, old fellow, can recognize directions once underground," Shi Feng said.

Following that, with a thought, in front of him, a blood-colored light shone brightly! As the light fell, a black wooden coffin appeared suspended before Shi Feng and the vague figure.

"From its shape, if I'm not mistaken, this is a coffin, right? What a peculiar coffin." The black-robed man voiced his surprise and doubt upon seeing the black wooden coffin.

It seems in this world, the deceased are also encased in coffins, but the black-robed man found this black wooden coffin peculiar; it appears the coffins in this world differ somewhat in shape from those of Tianheng Continent.

"Can this thing assist us in entering the ground?" The vague shadow slowly turned around, asked towards Shi Feng.

Shi Feng did not respond to him, instead sensing the corpse sleeping in the black wooden coffin. Within this black wooden coffin lies Shi Feng's strongest Yin Corpse, the Corpse Emperor Di Sha, from the Blood Stone Stele.

Di Sha has formed a Master-Servant Contract with Shi Feng, through this black wooden coffin, Shi Feng can sense the aura of Di Sha who is asleep in it.

Last time, Di Sha mentioned unintentionally devouring the Rest Soil and advancing to Two-star Emperor Level.

And these days, lying in this black wooden coffin obtained from the Corpse Control Sect, along with Shi Feng imparting to him the Ancient Character representing the Death Principle, Shi Feng could sense that Di Sha within the coffin had reached Two-star Emperor Level Peak. It's believed that it won't be long before he steps into the Three-star Emperor Level.

Then, Shi Feng softly called towards the black wooden coffin: "Di Sha!"

At Shi Feng's soft call, the sleeping Di Sha within the black wooden coffin woke immediately. Then, the coffin lid seemed to be pushed open by an invisible force, revealing the body inside, dark as ink.

At this moment, Di Sha opened his eyes, his lying body slowly sat up, looked towards Shi Feng in front, and called out: "Master!"

"This! Is this a death creature? An Emperor-level humanoid death creature!" Seeing Di Sha, Shi Feng heard the black-robed man's voice beside him, once again letting out a cry of astonishment.

From his voice, it seemed he was seeing this Yin Corpse for the first time, and especially seeing Di Sha, an Emperor-level Corpse Emperor.

But whether he has seen him or not is irrelevant to Shi Feng. Shi Feng mentally activated again, and the black wooden coffin around Di Sha glowed with crimson light and then disappeared.

This black wooden coffin is no longer useful; Shi Feng temporarily stored it back into the space of the Blood Stone Stele.

Di Sha's figure slowly approached the ground, Shi Feng spoke to him in clear and straightforward terms: "Di Sha, we are besieged and need to take the underground route now."

"Master, I understand!" Di Sha nodded silently to Shi Feng, responding. Then, with a thought, Di Sha manipulated the earth on which they stood, and instantly the ground beneath Shi Feng and the others transformed, as if turning into water.

While Shi Feng, the vague black-robed man, and Di Sha, their figures were slowly sinking into the ground.

"An Emperor-level death creature, yet able to skillfully control the Power of Earth, never thought there existed such wondrous creatures on the Wilderness Continent. I have never heard of this before!"

The black-robed man, with his body slowly sinking, voiced his astonishment once again, and soon, their three figures together fully sank into the ground, disappearing from view.

The seemingly softened earth, upon their disappearance, still appeared as solid as ever.
