Everyone was taken aback by what Krune said.
"A body? Is that even possible? In that case, just how big this body is?"
"If that is the case, it means we have been running inside its blood vessels all this time?"
"I see, so the silver water is instead the body's blood. No wonder it is so dense. Now that I think about it, the thickness is comparable with blood indeed."
"However, how come we are only seeing this 'blood' now? If these are all blood vessels, how come they are empty?"
Krune heard all their questions and nodded.
"You guys forgot an important point. How old was the teleport formation that brought us in? From the looks of it, this body had been here for countless years already. I also have another theory. The Top Quality Godly Veins, aren't they the result of this body's presence? I believe they only exist and stayed hidden for so long because of it."
"As for which race it is, that is hard to say. Most likely, he is a demon beast. After all, a demon beast's size increases as their cultivation get higher. Of course, he might as well be a cultivator or a mixed-blood."
Jimage couldn't help but comment.
"I've never heard about a demon beast or whatever of this size before."
Everyone nodded as well. But it was then that Iem pointed something else.
"I think it is better to say that you have never seen a being of this size' in the Godly Path Realm.' What about the God Realm? I don't think anyone here knows what kind of races are present there. Chances are that it is someone from that place."
Everyone nodded after hearing that. It could also explain how such an enormous body had been hidden all this time.
Krune then continued.
"Of course, this is just a conjecture of mine. But I believe that the Space Creatures are born from its blood. First, these creatures are highly proficient in Space Laws. Second, they have none to almost no intelligence. Third, their Space Abilities is probably related to the race of this body."
Krune then looked at Jimage before saying.
"Senior Jimage, let's keep moving. If this is really a body, the Godly Energy is definitely coming from its Dantian or Demon Core. Perhaps we can find something there."
Jimage nodded, and their group swiftly departed. Whether Pharan and Foltan's group followed or not wasn't their problem.
On the way, Jimage talked with everyone through Divine Sense.
"There is one thing I can't understand. If this is really a body, how come there are teleport formations to send us inside its body?"
Xanala pondered a bit before saying.
"Perhaps the body had been found by someone else in the past. However, this guy didn't let anyone know about its existence."
Rui nodded and added.
"That makes sense. Still, I think the one who created the teleport formation isn't around anymore. After all, the formation that brought us here was really ancient. Perhaps, that 'Heaven Break' was the title of the cultivator or demon beast who had access to this place in the past."
Iem agreed with Rui. He was a Formations Master, so he added another piece of information.
"Indeed. Considering the time that the formation had been around, there are only two possibilities here. The one who created it already died to the ascension tribulation or is now in the God Realm. From the looks of it, that formation is several hundred chaos cycles old. It's just that it was really excellently made, so it resisted until today."
Xanala agreed with Iem. As a Formations Master herself, she could see how skilled its creator was.
Krune then thought about something else.
"If that is the case, then just how old is this body? The formation itself was also several hundred chaos cycles old, and I believe that this body was already dead by the time it was built."
Jimage shook his head.
"Did you see how the walls closed behind us before? Would you really say that it is dead?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"Indeed. If it was really a dead body, why would it react to our presence?"
"That might not be the body's reaction, but the person or beast who set the teleport formation in the past. After all, the one who did it had definitely spent a long time in this place. There is nothing wrong with leaving behind a few countermeasures."
Sisan couldn't help but comment.
"What if it is not a trap? There is also a possibility that this is an inheritance left by the last person or beast who conquered this body. Since he already ascended or died to the ascension tribulation, it is expected that he decided to leave it for future generations. It's not like you guys haven't heard of dangerous inheritances before."
Krune sighed after hearing that.
"So many possibilities, but which one is real? We might find some answers after we reach the Dantian or Demon Core."
Jimage then looked behind and noticed that Pharan and Foltan's groups were also following them.
"What do we do about those two other groups?"
Iem pondered a bit before saying.
"So far, he had been following the vessel with the highest flow of Godly Energy. However, Godly Energy usually passes through the meridians, right? What about we chose a different path and look for one of this body's meridians? As long as we find one, it should be much easier to reach our destination. It would also give us the chance to separate from those two groups."
Ramona agreed with Iem.
"I think it is a good idea. As dangerous as this place might be, I think we will be at a much higher risk with those two groups following us. After all, both of them lost another member of their groups while we didn't lose anyone so far. It won't be any surprise if they decide to join forces again to reduce our numbers."
Jimage heard everyone's opinions and nodded.
"Very well, we will follow another path in the next division ahead."
Obviously, with the number of blood vessels of a body, it only took a few moments for them to reach the next divisions. Jimage's group then stopped in front of it and didn't move.
Pharan and Foltan's groups also did the same, waiting to see what Jimage's group was going to do.
Noticing that, Jimage looked at them and asked.
"Why are you waiting for us? Just select a path and go ahead. There is no need to see us out."
Pharan narrowed his eyes and looked at the different paths ahead. He thought that Jimage might have found something and was waiting for them to go away. He then laughed sarcastically before saying.
"We will select a path, indeed. But we will first wait to see what you are up to."
Foltan's group members looked at each other and nodded. They also didn't select any of the paths.
Jimage then shrugged his shoulders before saying.
"The reason we stopped here is pretty simple. We don't want to follow the same path as the two of you. As long as you select a course, we will choose another one. It creeps me out, knowing that your groups are close to us like this, so I want to prevent being stabbed on the back."
Foltan then asked with a cold voice.
"Do you think I'll believe that? Chances are that you are up to something, don't you think? What if you found some clue and want to select a path that is much more beneficial than the ones we had been following so far?"
Jimage nodded, totally expecting their answer.
"Is that so? Then let's do something like this. There are eleven different paths that we can select here. The biggest one is also the one with the highest flow of Godly Energy. Usually, we would follow it, so let's leave this one aside for now."
Jimage then pointed at the other ten paths.
"You two, select one of the entrances. Whatever entrance you choose, we will follow it. If we really know a safer path, then there is a nine out of ten chance of you selecting the wrong one. That way, you will have no reason to complain, right? We just want to get away from each other. Also, I recommend that your groups do the same before you began to stab each other's backs as well."
Pharan snorted after hearing that.
"And who will guarantee that you won't simply come back later and select the right path?"
Jimage heard that and laughed out loud.
"Isn't that simple? Just destroy the path so that we can't come back. If you and Foltan join hands, I doubt you can't do as much as making a blood vessel collapse."
This time, Pharan and Foltan were taken aback. They were willing to have their own way back sealed just so that they don't need to follow the same path!
"Something is fishy. Why do you want to get away from us so much?"
Jimage looked at Pharan as if he was looking at an idiot.
"I thought that it would be pretty obvious at this point. Both your groups lost two members while my group is still whole. If the situation calls for it, I'm sure you will join your forces to attack my group. I want to avoid this scenario as much as possible. From here onwards, each group would be counting on their own luck. In my eyes, this is a much safer choice for me. Now, stop wasting my time and choose!"
