Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 66: 66. Exploration

Kai left the safety of his cave and began to explore the surrounding area. As he ventured further, he encountered no threats, swiftly leaving the dragon's territory behind.

After

He didn't see a single mindless beast at Tier 4. Every single beast that was affected by the corruption was Tier 3.

'But why did it only affect here? Is it because the energy is afraid of that dragon?' Kai concluded.

With these clues, he deduced that this energy is from a beast, and it uses these beasts to achieve some kind of purpose.

'Whatever, I don't want to be involved in this matter.'

Kai didn't want to fight an opponent with unknown strength. He knows the creature that controls everything must have strength at Tier 4 since it is capable of controlling more than hundreds of Tier 3 beasts.

Kai left the battlefield and started exploring the other places. He didn't find anything interesting like the previous ones.

After searching for two days, Kai found an old cave, which was also hidden by a formation.

Kai wouldn't have found the cave if the formation hadn't worn due to not having enough energy.

'It seems humans or other intelligent life forms have been here.' Kai thought in relief.

He didn't find a single trace of intelligent life in his search for the past two days.

During his search, he only found beasts and dryads everywhere. Most of them were bloodthirsty and didn't have any sanity left.

He also didn't find any Tier 4 beasts, but the number of Tier 3 beasts is unimaginable. If such a beast were used for war, with their sheer number, they could destroy a supreme-tier family and sect.

'Okay, I should explore this cave.' Kai decided to take a risk.

He knew there could be danger inside the cave, but considering the amount of time, it should have become useless, like the formation.

The cave's interior is small, and it is only suitable for a single person to live in. There was only a skeleton and a book inside the cave.

Kai took the book to read and didn't bother the skeleton.

"If you are reading the book, I hope you can bury my body properly." It was the first sentence in the book. Kai didn't take that seriously and continued.

"I am called 'The First Explorer' by the world. I love exploring anything new and dangerous, and it was my passion. So, after I became a cultivator, I explored every secret realm and ruin that I could find.

After I didn't fall into any traps in the ruins by chance and found a lot of treasures, soon my strength increased and I became arrogant.

It was like I was the son of destiny until I came to this place, the Death Abyss.

It was one of the forbidden places in the entire lower dimension, and no one ever came out after exploring, at least from what I know.

I heard a rumor about a heaven-defying treasure existing in this place, so I came without hearing a warning from my friends and family, only to die in regret. This place is impossible to escape normally, but I found a way to escape, but it was too late for me."
