Chapter 3023
3023 Tracking, sly.1
About three thousand miles away from purple light ruins was a barren, desolate land.
Not a blade of grass grew here, and the Maroon rocks were as sharp as knives, as if they would fall at any moment.
...There was also an inexplicable gust of wind that came from nowhere, grinding the rocks into strange shapes.
Even though the environment was extremely harsh, there were still a large number of strange creatures that were fierce and vicious.
A figure suddenly appeared on a steep mountain peak that was about a thousand meters tall. It was Tang Zhen who had just left purple light ruins.
He didn’t follow the light ball’s guidance to search for the possible origin spiritual treasure, because he didn’t know how long it would take and how far he would have to travel.
Looking for the deranged cultivator and taking back the two origin soul treasures that the other party owed had naturally become Tang Zhen’s top priority.
Based on the contract that both parties signed, Tang Zhen could ask the deranged cultivator for the origin soul treasure and the other party would definitely not refuse.
However, there was a prerequisite. Tang Zhen must find the crazy cultivator. Otherwise, who would he ask for it?
Before the other party left, he had told Tang Zhen that if he wanted the origin spiritual treasure, he must first find him.
This problem was neither big nor small. If it were in the outside world, it would be easy, but in a special place like the extreme spiritual realm, it was not an easy task.
Divination techniques couldn’t be used normally. For cultivators, this was definitely a big challenge.
Tang Zhen had experienced a similar matter before. He had no choice but to go to war in order to find the owner of the origin spiritual treasure.
Although the extreme spiritual realm was good, it also had its own drawbacks, which made the foreign cultivators feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, after some exploration, Tang Zhen already knew some special methods to help him track down people.
The first thing he had to do was to control all the creatures in the area and make them enter a state of Dreamland.
The next thing he had to do was to awaken his deeply hidden memories and search for useful information in the collective dream.
Combined with his previous experience and the adventure in the purple light world, Tang Zhen confirmed the wonders of the dream world.
Of course, this was referring to the dreams of gods. If it was a dream of an ordinary person, it would be meaningless.
All the residents of purple light ruins were having a daydream.
All the residents ‘dreams came together to form a complete world, and it combined with reality.
Reality was a dream, but a dream was also reality.
There was no need to explain the principle of its operation in detail. In short, with a thought from Tang Zhen, it allowed him to observe the entire purple light ruins from a God’s perspective.
This wasn’t time going back, nor would it disturb the plane’s rules. It was just a replay of collective memory.
As the replay continued, Tang Zhen finally saw the scene he wanted in the memory of a resident of purple light ruins.
A cultivator appeared out of thin air. He looked around and then disappeared in an instant.
The resident of purple light ruins who saw him thought he was seeing things and didn’t take it to heart.
He had no idea that he had just met a God.
Fortunately, The Mad Cultivator didn’t have the intention to kill. Otherwise, the residents of purple light ruins would have been attacked.
Perhaps in the eyes of the deranged cultivator, he was just an ant. It didn’t matter whether he was stomped to death or not.
Furthermore, the residents of the extreme spiritual realm were immortal, so attacking them would only be a waste of time. It would also cause unnecessary trouble.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Tang Zhen found a clue.
Although The Mad Cultivator had only appeared for a moment, he had revealed many things in Tang Zhen’s eyes.
After analyzing, Tang Zhen was able to obtain a lot of information. For example, what method did the other party use to leave and which direction he planned to head in.
These were all very important information. Tang Zhen could complete the tracking of the crazy cultivator by relying on the results of his analysis.
Although it sounded simple, it wasn’t easy to do it.
After a serious analysis, Tang Zhen came to a conclusion. He left purple light ruins and began to track.
This barren land was the third stop of Tang Zhen’s tracking. According to his analysis, the deranged cultivator should have appeared here.
The extreme spirit realm was different from the outside world. Cultivators could not travel in the void, and there was a limit to the distance they could teleport.
A thousand miles of teleportation was the limit of a cultivator’s teleportation, and he had to be at the God-level.
By judging the distance, Tang Zhen accurately locked onto the location where the deranged cultivator had stopped and followed him.
He once again created a collective Dreamland. From the eyes of a monster, Tang Zhen saw the figure of a crazy cultivator.
Just like the previous two times, it was still a flash without any pause.
Through observation, he found that the direction the deranged cultivator was moving in was very regular. It seemed that he was heading to a certain place.
If it was to avoid Tang Zhen, he would definitely run around and not be as well-behaved as he was now.
It was good that he was not hiding from him. Otherwise, it would definitely be very difficult to find the other party’s traces.
Although a cunning Fox could not win against an experienced Hunter, not every Hunter could return with a full harvest.
If the other party really wanted to avoid Tang Zhen, the game of pursuit between the two parties might take a very long time to end.
If this was the case, Tang Zhen would rather give up on this pursuit and not waste his precious time.
He would continue to complete the pursuit after some time or by chance, and he would also take back the compensation.
Fortunately, looking at the current situation, Tang Zhen didn’t need to make such a choice.
After determining the direction in which the deranged cultivator was heading, Tang Zhen used his teleportation technique and continued to track him.
However, not long after, Tang Zhen returned with a puzzled expression on his face.
This time, he didn’t find the deranged cultivator. It was as if the other party had disappeared into thin air.
This situation wasn’t quite right. It also made Tang Zhen realize that things weren’t as simple as he had imagined.
Tang Zhen returned to his previous stop and cast the spell again. After which, he carefully observed the changes in the group’s dream.
Compared to the previous time, Tang Zhen had deliberately observed for a longer period of time. He had continued to observe after the deranged cultivator had teleported away.
After waiting for half an hour, a figure slowly appeared at the spot where The Mad Cultivator had disappeared.
It was the deranged cultivator who had teleported away earlier. He had not really left, but had hidden himself using some special means.
The purpose of doing this was most likely to confirm whether there was someone secretly following him.
He didn’t expect that after a period of time, he would mislead Tang Zhen, causing him to almost chase in the wrong direction.
Fortunately, Tang Zhen discovered the abnormality in time and patiently waited. Only then did he discover the little trick of the deranged cultivator.
The other party was a God and ordinary cultivators would not even put him in their eyes. The purpose of doing this was perhaps to guard against Tang Zhen.
This was because he was unable to determine when Tang Zhen would leave the purple light world and whether he would follow behind and track him.
It was only right to take appropriate precautions.
If he wasn’t on guard, Tang Zhen would have to be more careful because the other party was likely to scheme against him.
Seeing the deranged cultivator leave smoothly, Tang Zhen did not leave the collective dream. Instead, he continued to wait silently.
As expected, after another half an hour, the deranged cultivator reappeared. It was obvious that his teleportation just now was an illusion.
Such a cautious performance did not match his crazy image at all. It was very likely that he was pretending.
After testing it out twice, the deranged cultivator was finally at ease. He teleported in another direction.
