Since discovering the carriage, Chen Zhou has not found any information about Ghost City. Even now, the Ghost City that appears before him is completely unmarked, and he doesn't even see the words "Ghost City".

Moreover, the phrase "Ghost City" was uttered by Chen Zhou and Wo Wan, both of whom had very little experience and did not yet know whether this was truly Ghost City.

Upon hearing Chen Zhou's question, Wo Wan paused for a moment and realized the problem.

Is this really a ghost town?

"We'll only know once we're inside," Wo Wan said slowly, her eyes fixed on the palace not far ahead.

The palace not far ahead was very large and looked extremely desolate. There were no open windows or anything; everything was tightly closed. The palace that appeared before Chen Zhou and his companions was like a city wall, with only one main gate closed. The rest of the palace was like a wall.

“Let’s go take a look,” Chen Zhou said, and the two of them walked side by side toward the so-called palace.

Once Chen Zhou started walking around, he realized that this place was indeed unusual. Chen Zhou no longer had to hide his strength, so true qi was constantly flowing in his body. Logically speaking, Chen Zhou should not feel any cold, but he was now feeling a real chill.

Although the cold wasn't particularly intense, Chen Zhou definitely felt it firsthand.

"Why is it so cold here?" Chen Zhou asked curiously.

At this moment, Wo Wan also felt the coldness of the cold wind. Wo Wan's reaction was even more exaggerated than Chen Zhou had imagined. Wo Wan's teeth had started to chatter. It was very quiet here, without even the sound of wind. Chen Zhou could hear the "sizzling" sound of Wo Wan's teeth.

Wo Wan hugged her arms tightly to her chest, trying to keep warm.

"You're only finding out now?" Wo Wan said irritably.

Chen Zhou could only awkwardly continue looking ahead. Chen Zhou's true energy contained the primordial truth, so Chen Zhou's true energy was naturally much stronger than Wo Wan's true energy. At this moment, a real difference appeared. Chen Zhou did not feel cold, while Wo Wan could feel cold.

Unfortunately, Chen Zhou has not yet fully unearthed the Primordial Truth. Otherwise, the power of the Primordial Truth could be even greater. Right now, the Primordial Truth serves as a source of warmth for Chen Zhou, and if the Primordial Truth were conscious, it would naturally feel extremely demeaning.

However, Chen Zhou had no other choice. He was only at the Enlightenment stage, so how far could he develop the Primordial Truth? Moreover, Chen Zhou spent most of his time traveling and rarely had time to relax and cultivate properly.

Even when he had free time, Chen Zhou's first thought was how to get a good night's sleep, rather than how to cultivate properly.

"Is there any... danger in this flowing thing?" Wo Wan asked with difficulty. The cold wind was so strong that she couldn't lift her head. Every time she spoke, a silent gust of cold wind would enter her mouth, making her feel very uncomfortable. So she was speaking in a broken and intermittent manner, and Chen Zhou had to stop and wait for Wo Wan to finish before he could roughly understand what she was saying.

At this moment, Chen Zhou and Wo Wan had reached the dark red substance that Chen Zhou had seen earlier. Because the dark red substance covered a large area, it would be very difficult for Chen Zhou and Wo Wan to pass through it smoothly without touching it.

Because these characters are not like the characters Chen Zhou is familiar with, where there are gaps between each stroke. These characters not only have no gaps between the characters, but also no gaps between the strokes. They are completely connected in a chaotic manner.

All of this together gave Chen Zhou a headache.

Chen Zhou and Wo Wan were immediately blocked by the dark red substance and could not go any further.

From a distance, Chen Zhou could barely make out what was written on it, but as he got closer, he realized it was just a large puddle of dark red substance. There was nothing written on it; all Chen Zhou saw was a pile of stuff with no words in it.

"Let's test it with our true energy," Chen Zhou said. At this moment, Chen Zhou did not feel particularly cold, so after covering Wo Wan's body with his outer robe, he immediately used his true energy to test the dark red substance.

The dark red substance was still flowing. Chen Zhou's true energy quickly approached, but it seemed to be the best nourishment for the dark red substance. As soon as Chen Zhou's true energy got close, the dark red substance began to move happily, constantly moving in both directions, and its speed increased.

Seeing this, Chen Zhou immediately increased the speed of his true energy. The instant his true energy came into contact with the dark red substance, the dark red substance actually absorbed Chen Zhou's true energy! Chen Zhou immediately lost the sensation of that part of the true energy that had come into contact with it.

"Back off! This thing devours true energy!" Chen Zhou immediately withdrew his true energy after feeling it being devoured, but as his true energy was withdrawn, the dark red substance caught up with him, and Chen Zhou immediately took a few steps back!

Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, Wo Wan retreated, but due to the cold wind, she was already feeling cold all over, so her reaction speed was naturally slower. The dark red substance had already begun to attack her!

Just then, Chen Zhou dodged the attack of the dark red substance. The dark red substance fell from above Chen Zhou's head and landed in front of him. A groove appeared directly in front of Chen Zhou's feet, and the dark red substance was inside the groove! When Chen Zhou looked closely, the dark red substance had disappeared, and only the groove remained in front of him.
