From the memory of the Devil Clan, Duan Gujin only knew that the Treasure emitted a yellow glow.

From a distance, the Demon Saint felt a power from the glowing orb that made its heart tremble with fear.

An object that could instill fear in a Demon Saint was surely not ordinary; thus, the Demon Saint had the other members of the Devil Clan gather information about the Treasure.

However, once these members entered the white fog area, many of them perished.

To locate the Treasure, they captured many from the Human Clan and Demon Beasts, forcing them to enter the area.

But after many days of attempts, they all failed.

Not only did they come up empty-handed, they also lost many skilled members of the Devil Clan.

Duan Gujin's brows furrowed tightly; he deduced that the orb frightening a Demon Saint must be an immensely powerful Treasure.

In the Jiuzhou Continent, the strongest beings were supposed to be the Martial Saints or Demon Saints.

Duan Gujin speculated that the Treasure was most likely from the Upper Realm; otherwise, it could not have scared a Demon Saint.

If the Treasure was an Innate Spiritual Object, then its grade would definitely be of a very high level.

But for a high-grade Innate Spiritual Object to form, the environment must be favorable for its existence.

On a plane like the Jiuzhou Continent, producing a high-grade Innate Spiritual Object would be extremely difficult.

Generally, high-grade Innate Spiritual Objects found in Jiuzhou often originated from higher-grade planes.

After some thought, Duan Gujin decided to release the Devil Clan members.

Then, carrying Xiao Yueyue on his back, he rapidly left the area, not wanting to stay any longer.

"Even if there truly is a heaven-defying Treasure ahead, one must be alive to retrieve it! This place is so strange, I'll come back when I'm stronger and explore further."

He took a deep breath, his body flashed, and he transformed into a stream of light, dashing rapidly forward.

This time, he was determined to bypass the white fog area at the fastest speed and return to the Human Race World.

After traveling several kilometers, he suddenly sensed a powerful Divine Soul Power abruptly appearing behind him.

His expression changed drastically, brows deeply furrowed, and he extended his Divine Sense.

A few moments later, he saw a fiery-red glowing orb appear behind him.

The light from the fire looked similar to that of a common lantern, but a frightening, soul-shaking power accompanied it.

"Could it be? Has that mysterious fiery orb seen by the Demon Saint appeared?"

"Duan Gujin, what is that?"

Xiao Yueyue, who was behind him, also noticed the presence of the fiery orb. Her expression changed drastically, and her brows furrowed.

"I don't know! Let's leave this place sooner, it's too eerie!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, activated his Primordial Power, and sped away from the area even faster.

After a while, he noticed that the fiery orb was still doggedly pursuing them, which surprised him.

"Strange, isn't that fiery orb supposed to be fixed near that spot? Why is it continuously following us?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, he took a deep breath, and ran wildly in the direction away from the white fog area, not wanting the fiery orb to get close.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he sharply remembered what the fiery orb was.

"I remember a legend; could that fiery orb be the Nine Nether Earth Fire, the Treasure of the Absolute Land Demon Saint?"

He gasped, suddenly recalling a conversation about an extremely powerful Demon Saint in the Jiuzhou Continent, who called himself Absolute Land Demon Saint, holding a Treasure named Nine Nether Earth Fire.

Reportedly, the Nine Nether Earth Fire originating from the Netherworld could incinerate the soul of living creatures, assimilating other souls for its own use.

Duan Gujin wasn't very familiar with the Jiuzhou Continent; he only remembered some very important names.

Like, the Absolute Land Demon Saint and the Nine Nether Earth Fire.

"It's said that the Absolute Land Demon Saint found the Nine Nether Earth Fire in a tomb; could the fiery orb ahead be the Nine Nether Earth Fire?"

The more he thought, the more Duan Gujin felt that the fiery orb behind him was indeed the Nine Nether Earth Fire.

He extended his Divine Sense, and saw that the fiery orb was still closely following behind.

"Why is the Nine Nether Earth Fire following me?"

He frowned, then proceeded with Xiao Yueyue towards the white fog area.

He did this merely to test the Nine Nether Earth Fire behind him, wanting to know if it truly was the Nine Nether Earth Fire.

After a while, he saw that the clump of fire still followed him.

His eyes suddenly brightened; he thought that the clump of fire might have awakened its Divine Wisdom.

Duan Gujin's expression was uncertain, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

Finally, he thought of a possibility.

"Generally speaking, an Innate Spiritual Object that has awakened its Divine Wisdom wouldn't follow a living creature for no reason. In many cases, if a living creature is followed by a high-level Innate Spiritual Object, it suggests that the creature possesses something the Innate Spiritual Object desires. What on me could possibly attract the Nine Nether Earth Fire?"

He took a deep breath and quickly sent a message to Xiao Yueyue, asking her to be ready for a fight at any moment.

"Is that thing behind going to strike at you?"

Xiao Yueyue asked in fright.

"Do you think it would follow us for such a long time without reason?"

Duan Gujin inquired.

"No, I think it definitely has a reason to follow us!",

Xiao Yueyue responded.

"You're right, it's very likely we possess something it wants, but it dares not get too close to us! It might be something unrelated to our strength."

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed; he immediately sent out a Divine Thought towards the clump of fire behind him, wishing to communicate with it.

After a while, he heard the clump of fire send some short messages back to him.

"Great, it responded to me!"

Duan Gujin was ecstatic inside. As long as the clump of fire responded, he knew it had awakened its Divine Wisdom.

If it had awakened its Divine Wisdom, they might communicate instead of fighting to the death immediately.

"You have the scent of my mother on you, can you show me why you have my mother's scent?"

The Divine Thought sent by the clump of fire was intermittent, but Duan Gujin understood it.

But once he understood, he was momentarily stunned.

"What do you mean? Why do you say I have your mother's scent? What exactly is your mother's scent?"

Duan Gujin was instantly intrigued.

"I cannot explain clearly, but I am certain that you carry my mother's scent. Can you help me return to my mother's side?"

The clump of fire responded.

Duan Gujin gasped sharply, his mind racing. After thinking for a while, he felt the clump of fire wasn't lying.

Because, he knew that if he really fought with the clump of fire, he might not benefit from it.

The strength of the other party was unknown, and he did not want to rashly offend an Innate Spiritual Object.

Although Innate Spiritual Objects are not good at attacking, they possess many unexpected innate abilities, and Duan Gujin didn't know what innate abilities the clump of fire behind him had. If it did not intend to fight him, there was no need for him to do so either.

"Xiao Yueyue, go forward about two hundred meters!"

Duan Gujin let go of Xiao Yueyue, asking her to move forward two hundred meters.

"Why?"

Xiao Yueyue didn't understand and asked.

"I want to confirm what that clump of fire said!"

He hadn't shared his communication with the clump of fire with Xiao Yueyue, so she was confused.

"Okay!"

Xiao Yueyue's body flashed, quickly turning into a stream of light, rushing forward about two hundred meters.

Duan Gujin immediately sent out a Divine Thought to the clump of fire, asking, "You said, you now sense your mother's scent on me, or on the woman ahead?"

"It's on you that I sense my mother's scent!"

Moments later, the clump of fire sent back a Divine Thought.

Duan Gujin exhaled, finally understanding that the issue was with him.
