The words of the Heretic God made Henry's heart skip a beat. Henry took out the ring subconsciously.
"Ah, there it is. This can open the passage to the Core, it's extremely unstable though." the Heretic God said.
Henry stared at the ring in his hand. All this time he had been unaware that the ring he had gifted to Sylvia was actually the key to the civilisation of the core.
Henry clenched his fist and held the ring tightly in his hand.
"Sylvia, where on earth are you..."
This sense of powerlessness that stemmed from being unable to even find his lover made Henry feel extraordinarily uncomfortable. After all, true power was the foundation of everything. If this ring had delivered to him from Sylvia, did it mean that she might already be in the Core? Although it was only a guess, Henry would grasp on to it even if only the slightest possibility existed. Henry had already decided that if he was still unable to find any trace of Sylvia, he would go to the Core for a look! After all, all that awaited him over there was just danger and bloodshed, it was not like he had never experienced any of that before!
After putting aside all of his worries, Henry's mind had become much clearer, and the fog before him had gradually started to clear. Having the Heretic God by his side to answer all sorts of questions had also allowed Henry to see the world much clearer!
His current priorities were to enter the ancestral grounds of Loulan, obtain news about Sylvia, then kill Joselito!
The steps Henry took suddenly became much longer.
As Henry strode forward, the voice of the Heretic God rang in his ears.
"It is very easy to get lost in the fog formation of this sort. If you charge around blindly in it, you would end up going around in circles, and even fall into some kind of trap formation. If you step into a large-scale Energy Emitting Formation, and you aren't able to gather spirit energy, you'd end up as a sitting duck. Take 13 steps forward, 61 steps to the left, and then 28 steps back..."
The Heretic God instructed Henry.
Following the Heretic God's words, Henry soon found himself at a lake.
A thick fog still drifted over the surface of the lake.
The path in front of Henry had been completely blocked. If he wanted to keep moving forward, he would have to first cross the lake before him.
The Heretic God had already told Henry how to cross the lake. Just as Henry was about to cross the lake with the use of his Qi...
"Henry Zhang, what a surprise. How unexpected of you to still be alive. Tch-tch."
A burst of hoarse laughter erupted behind Henry.
Henry turned to see 13 men in black robes standing behind him, surrounding him completely. He could immediately guess who these people were without even having to think.
Henry smiled. "Do you people of the Recluse Association want me dead so badly?"
"We're just a little curious. You were supposedly a dead man. How are you possibly standing here before us again?" The leader of the black-robed men was hidden under the cloak, he kept scanning at Henry from head to toe.
Henry shrugged and said, "Now that you see that I'm still alive, are you not going to do anything?"
