His combat prowess was the greatest in this region since his strongest asset was his mental energy at this moment and enhanced by his Fiery Golden Pupils, the attacks of his mental projection would even make a Spirit Douluo with ordinary mental fortitude pale in shock.

Around Ja Sun, clingy violet tendrils of mist instantly spread out and covered the spirit rings. Greedily absorbing their essence. But since he was alone, Ja Sun also let the Bright Goddess Butterfly out and allowed her to feast on the cultivation of others.

Her cultivation already reached 1600 years. Undoubtedly, to a normal human, it was slow. But in the span of a week, Bright Goddess Butterfly accumulated cultivation worth almost 400 years. How could that he slow in any manner?

Ordinarily, Ja Sun wouldn't kill to such a degree but when such benefits were involved and the environment itself promoted killing, Ja Sun didn't have any issues.

After all, he had already found that the Ghost Canyon was not ordinary.

Well, of course, it wasn't. But by this, Ja Sun meant that after every demise of a yin beast, another one would be created, the cultivation of which would he rapid till they reached the strength of a 100-year-old beast. This was because the Disorienting Ghost Canyon was a natural array.

Bibi Dong once said that in various environments, natural arrays are quite a common sight. Even his second spirit soul: Nightmare's Fantasy was the product of two beasts that are developed by the world itself.

[Objective: Explore the Disorienting Ghost Canyon entirely.

Optional Objectives:

1) Explore it in a month.

2) Explore it in two months.

3) Explore it in three months.

Mission Ranks: C/A/B/C

Mission Rewards: Blueprint of Trembling Ghost Array/ Blueprint of Devil's Howl Array/ Blueprint of Shriek of Lady Red Array/ Blueprint of Trembling Ghost Array.

Time Limit: 3/1/2/3 months.]

Ja Sun only accepted the mission to increase his knowledge of Arrays. This was a wonderful profession that didn't limit him to smithing alone and with his State of Realm being perfect control, this profession suited him greatly.

He stepped into the deeper sections of the valley, his mental energy spread out as Astral Combatant returned to his mental scape and continued to refine the rotten mental energy that saturated the canyon.

*Huuuuu*

Ghastly gusts blew with various kinds of howls and hisses. This was a natural mental attack that the canyon created at numerous moments. But Ja Sun enjoyed the breeze and moved forward.

Others might only call him a cheat if they saw it, but Ja Sun felt that he had bled enough to have an easy time finally.

Now that he had reached the second level of Fiery Golden Pupils, his preparations were truly complete. Aside from strengthening his blood artifact over time, he had nothing else to complete aside from cultivating.

Once crossed the one-kilometer mark, the surrounding fog grew denser. The mist covering the ground reached his knees and hidden within it were many beasts that were instantly torn apart by Astral Combatant. Now, Ja Sun didn't have to create needles. He can bring mental attacks as a close combat technique. After all, he could control the Astral Combatant as he wished. Surely, creating mental arms to attack a person is a sophisticated manner but entering their sea of consciousness and tearing with bare phantom hands had its own desiring attributes, too.

But unlike the exterior entrance of the canyon, the rotten mental energy in this location was quite heavy. This was the first time Ja Sun stepped into this location and he instantly felt countless dangerous presence around him. Below him, too.

Pulling Bright Goddess and Nightmare's Fantasy back into his mental scape, unwilling to actually damage the two spirit souls for even in their actual form, their combat power wasn't high, Ja Sun's fourth spirit ring, 64000-year-old black spirit ring instantly rotated around him.

After all, Fiery Golden Pupils only increased the impact and damage of his mental attacks by two realms and not the actual quality of it. So, even if Ja Sun's mental attacks should be as strong as a Titled Douluo's, he didn't hold any expectations of matching an actual Titled Douluo with just this meager strength.

But the limit of completing the A-ranked objective was growing and Ja Sun forcefully increased his speed. The objective was to completely explore the canyon and not killing every spirit beast so for the moment, he stopped actively cultivating his two spirit souls and began exploring every nook and corner of the canyon. Each time, he would go even deeper but would also have to return since three hours was the limit of his explorations.

He could decide to not return but that was his last resort. Making others feel that something happened to him would not only be irresponsible but may even rouse them to look for him which can be disadvantageous for many reasons.

If he couldn't explore it till the last day, he was planning to give everyone a rest at his own 'expense.'

However, even after a total of five days of patient exploring, Ja Sun was only met with disappointment and finally posed his thoughts.

"For an entire day?"

Hu Lana was the first to gasp. Her skin no longer as smooth and the bags under her eyes already prominent. This was the case with everyone, even Ah Yin. Even if her skin looked supple, her mental exhaustion did show signs on her face. Only Ja Sun held bright eyes as he nodded calmly.

"3 hours aren't enough for me. Take the day off and rest properly while I will train for the day."

Bibi Dong frowned before nodding. She was their teacher but the difference in age wasn't much and by now, everyone had revealed themselves to be quite capable, showing that Bibi Dong herself could trust their judgments.

If Ja Sun said that three hours isn't enough then it may really be the case. Not even Bibi Dong would take the initiative to venture alone in the inner section of the canyon.

"You've already entered the inner section so be careful. There may be a spirit beast that has been following our movements for a long time. Here, we can defend. Not outside."

Ja Sun looked at her for a moment before stating, "Of course, if I don't return in 24 hours, don't just think I'm dead. I may be in trouble so do look for me."

"Asking for our help? Do I hear a 'please'?" Xie Xan cackled, color returning to his pale countenance for a moment.

"Please do look after me or all the spirit bones that are useful to you in the future may just get lost with me."

Ja Sun smiled himself before Xie Xan's lips twitched.

"We will look for you," Hu Lana smiled and nodded.

"Don't fall into a trap," Liu Erlong commented.

"Be sure to keep your distance from unknown spirit beasts if you manage to locate them," Ah Yin smiled.

"You could just keep the spirit bones with us for safeguard," Bibi Dong stated with an imploring tone and a crafty look in her eyes.

"Oh, do that!" Xie Xan snickered.

"Hmm," Ja Sun frowned for a moment, revealing a hint of hesitation, "If I die, it does sound prudent to hand over the spirit bones now."

His words instantly curbed the group's cheerfulness as Bibi Dong snorted coldly, "Just go!"

With a snicker, Ja Sun left while counting how many flags were raised.

Meanwhile, Hu Lana pouted, "Even in such a situation he wants to leave with the last laugh. What a selfish guy."

"He may be saying the truth," Liu Erlong suddenly spoke up, "And we took his last words as jokes..."

"Don't be so morbid," Ah Yin was speechless.
