The girl's gaze was too intense, and I couldn't bear it, so I took a step back and waved my hand, saying, "That's not entirely true. At that time, all eight of them locked onto me with their auras. If I had taken a step back, I would have been attacked by them all."

Although it was an excuse to avoid making Wu Ling proud, what Shen Qian said was actually the truth.

From the moment he entered the fog, he had few options left.

Even the system might not be able to withstand the combined attack of eight powerful beings from the Ninth Heaven of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Ultimately, Shen Qian's own level of cultivation was still too low.

"I don't care, you only stayed to save me!"

Wu Ling lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers shyly, and said, "Including the last time, you've saved me twice already. Oh, I don't know how to repay you. How about we..."

When Wu Ling looked up, Shen Qian was no longer there. Wu Ling turned her head and saw that he was searching for something on the ground hundreds of meters away.

Aysham's body was directly shattered by the system. Fortunately, the Gu Clan is not known for body refinement, so Aysham's remains were of little value to the human race, and Ji Wen and the others probably didn't need them either.

Shen Qian ignored the sullen Wu Ling, and searched through the soil for a while before finally pulling out a broken finger with a crystal-clear spatial ring on it.

This spatial ring belongs to Aishamu. The other party coveted Shen Qian's property, and Shen Qian was also very interested in the wealth of a peak expert of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

However, this top genius of the Gu clan was much poorer than Shen Qian had imagined.

Within the one-cubic-meter space crystal, besides some daily-use pills and personal clothing, only two things caught Shen Qian's attention.

The first item was a bronze stone tablet, on which were recorded several core Gu techniques of the Gu clan, which even Ayishamu herself had not yet mastered.

Ancient techniques like these are incredibly rare and valuable even in modern times. Even if Shen Qian himself wasn't interested in Gu techniques, bringing them back to the Hundred Kings Palace should be enough to earn him a lot of contribution points.

Unfortunately, there was no record of what kind of Gu worm Ayishamu summoned by sacrificing her life at the last moment. Seeing that Wuling was indeed alive and kicking and not in any danger, Shen Qian could only put aside his doubts for the time being.

The second item was a sheepskin map.

More accurately, it is a map of the battlefield of all races.

Wu Ling also had a scroll, but the map in Ayishamu's hand was clearly more detailed.

Most importantly, the map in Wuling's hand only recorded the location of Mohu in the Nine Heavens, but the one in Ayishamu's hand clearly marked all the secret realms of the Nine Heavens.

One of the areas that Aysham had circled with coals caught Shen Qian's attention.

"The Temple of Fire God!"

Although the Nine Heavens Battlefield is not as vast as the other Eight Heavens Battlefield, it still has more than a dozen secret realms. Why did Ayishamu single out this place?

"Do you know who the God of Fire is?" Shen Qian asked the knowledgeable Wu Ling.

"Vulcan?"

Wu Ling paused for a moment, then said after thinking for a while, "In ancient times, there were some gods born from the elements of heaven and earth. They were incredibly powerful and were born to control the five elements. The God of Fire should be one of them."

"However, it is said that the Five Elements Gods have all perished in the river of history for unknown reasons, and no one has seen them for a long time. So far, it seems that only the Wood God still exists in the outside world..."

"Ancient gods?"

Shen Qian's eyes lit up. "Then what realm is this Fire God at?"

"Of course it's a true god, and it's also very powerful among true gods."

Wu Ling said earnestly, "How could someone who controls all the fire in the world be weak?"

"Ji Wen once said that the Nine Heavens was actually an ancient battlefield where many true gods perished. Based on this, it is highly likely that the Fire God Temple is the residence of the Fire God mentioned by Wu Ling."

Shen Qian pondered to himself, "And the fact that Aysham specifically marked it, does this mean that the Temple of the Fire God is a place that even the gods have not explored?"

"In other words, perhaps the complete remains of Vulcan are preserved there?"

After a thorough analysis, Shen Qian's eyes lit up.

Originally, it was just a speculation that the Nine Heavens Battlefield might contain "Heavenly Fate Bones," but now, based on Aysham's map, there is a clear direction for the sinking.

The only problem is that the map of the battlefield of ten thousand races is not a secret in the hands of many peerless geniuses.

The Gu Clan is not ranked high, yet Ayishamu obtained the complete map, not to mention other clans.

Aysham is probably not the only one coveting this place; people like Ulan may also have the Vulcan Temple as their target.

After all, judging from its location on the map, the Temple of Fire is definitely the most central of all the secret realms.

If this were truly an unexplored abode of a god, containing countless treasures, it would absolutely drive everyone mad.

"Shenqian, are we going to find that Temple of Fire?"

Wu Ling realized something at this moment.

"Now that we know about this wonderful place, we should definitely go and take a look."

Shen Qian put away Aishamu's spatial ring, then turned to look back at the way they came. "But before that, I need to collect some interest first."

"Interest?" Wu Ling asked, puzzled.

"We don't have enough tickets to enter the Nine Heavens Battlefield yet, so let's collect them all here."

A murderous intent flickered in Shen Qian's eyes.

As Ulan and the others left, the surrounding mist dissipated. In Shen Qian's perception, geniuses from other races had begun to approach, but out of caution, they did not move too fast.
