Chapter 391: Hell and Heaven Are Both in the World

His perception stopped there because the flowers around him had turned cool-colored and begun attacking him again.

He quickly dispersed the misfortune, and the Lion-Tiger Golden Astral surged, shattering the attacks. The surrounding flowers reverted to their original warm-colored state, and the attacks ceased.

Ripples... Ripples of misfortune, and there seems to be a source?

Tang San was shocked. At that moment, he knew that the Hell Garden was not just any mere isolated space; there were far deeper secrets behind it.

He frowned slightly. After a brief moment of thought, he decided to return to his companions, but at that moment, a melodious singing suddenly began.

As the singing started, Tang San felt all the warm-colored flowers around him come to life, swaying gently from their roots to their petals in tempo with the song.

The song was incredibly beautiful and enchanting, and it dazed his mind. Instinctively, he turned in a direction, feeling a strong impulse to walk that way.

Tang San's heart was alarmed. He bit his tongue and focused his spiritual power inward, clearing his mind. However, the constant temptation from the song continued to assault his mind.

What made Tang San's pupils contract was that the direction the song was guiding him in seemed to be the same direction where he had sensed all the ripples converging when he released the misfortune!

Without hesitation, Tang San quickly ran back the way he had come.

He saw his companions again a few moments later. Du Bai was struggling to pull back Cheng Zicheng, whose eyes were dazed as she stepped toward the direction the sound was leading her in. Wu Bingji and Gu Li were both frowning, their faces showing signs of pain as they resisted the temptation.

"Wake up!" Tang San shouted, releasing a wave of spiritual energy from his eyes. Instantly, under the influence of his spiritual power, his comrades' expressions relaxed, and Gu Li, Wu Bingji, and Cheng Zicheng opened their eyes one after another.

Among the four, Du Bai's spiritual power was undoubtedly the strongest, followed by Gu Li and Wu Bingji, with Cheng Zicheng being the weakest. Even so, that was just in relative terms; Cheng Zicheng's spiritual power was close to the eighth order, and she was by no means a weak-minded person. Yet she still struggled to resist the temptation of the song, indicating how powerful its allure was.

Tang San turned around, relying on his memory to face the direction the song guided them, listening carefully to its melody.

"Hell and heaven are both in the world!"

The song had no lyrics, but for some reason, Tang San understood what it was saying.

"Hell and heaven are both in the world!"

"Hell and heaven are both in the world!"

Again and again, similar words with different tones, constantly emitting waves of irresistible temptation.

Just then, a massive pillar of light shot up in the distance. The position of the light pillar was not where Tang San had sensed the misfortune ripples converging earlier, but in another distant place.

When the light pillar appeared, all the warm-colored flowers around it became brighter. The light that bloomed instantly made the entire world appear dazzlingly beautiful.

Strange pale pink light spots floated up, seemingly drawn by the light pillar, converging towards it.

As these pink light spots emerged, the surrounding warm-colored flowers immediately began to change. Some started turning into cool-colored ones. At the same time, the ground began to emit a suction force, the kind that directly devoured life energy and bloodline power. However, the suction was much gentler compared to the cool-colored flower areas.

"Let's go!" Tang San ordered in a deep voice, leading the way toward the light pillar.

His companions followed behind him: Gu Li, then Du Bai, with Cheng Zicheng and Wu Bingji bringing up the rear.

Tang San realized they couldn't fly at this moment because as he moved, the suction force from the ground increased dramatically whenever his feet left. The higher they were, the stronger the suction. It was rather unintuitive, but walking on the ground minimized the suction force.

The number of warm-colored flowers was still relatively large, making it easy for them to advance along them.

"Little Tang, I have an idea," Wu Bingji's voice came from behind.

"Go ahead," Tang San quickly replied.

Wu Bingji said, "If I use the ice element to create a larger ice shield, or rather an ice boat, we can stand on it. Then Zicheng can just fan us with her wings, and we can move directly through the flowers. You can guide us from the front. This should be much faster."

Hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up. This was the advantage of attribute coordination. "Great!"

Everyone stopped, and Wu Bingji used his Ice Nymph Transformation, quickly forming a thin-bottomed ice boat.

The boat wasn't large, just big enough for the five to stand on it. It provided some insulation from the ground's suction. Cheng Zicheng then spread her golden wings and flapped them hard. The ice boat, driven by the wind generated by her wings, swiftly slid forward.

"The bloodline power consumption is about twice as high as normal," Wu Bingji's voice sounded.

Tang San nodded. "Got it!"

He fully unleashed his spiritual power, sensing the changes in the flowers ahead, and occasionally used the Lion-Tiger Golden Astral with his hands to guide the direction of the ice boat.

With the ice boat gliding through the flower field, their speed was much faster than walking, and they headed straight for the direction where the light pillar had appeared.

Xu Ziran had instructed them to reach the exit as quickly as possible in order to carry out their plan.

In previous Hell Garden team battles, reaching the exit wasn't the most challenging part. Most teams could reach it before the flowers turned cool-colored. But the real test began after arriving at the exit. They would face continuous attacks from the Hell Garden's flowers and fend off other teams desperately attacking for survival. Only when the number of survivors was halved would the exit truly open.

This was the information about the Hell Garden team battles. It wasn't overly complicated, and no one delved too deeply into the Hell Garden's fundamental nature.

However, Tang San's focus wasn't on reaching the exit. Instead, it was in the center where the misfortune ripples converged.

The core that constantly drew the misfortune ripples—if it wasn't where the exit was, then what kind of place was it?

The sky was gray and hazy, obscuring everything above. Only the different lights emitted by the two types of beautiful flowers on the ground made the Hell Garden look so alluring.

Coupled with the enchanting and melodic singing, it created an indescribable pull. This place's mystery was clearly far beyond just a team battle.

However, compared to exploring the secrets of the Hell Garden, it was more important for Tang San to ensure his companions could get out safely. Discovering the secrets of the Hell Garden could be a secondary objective in the process.

The singing lasted a quarter of an hour before gradually fading away. The number of warm-colored flowers noticeably decreased, and the number of cool-colored ones increased. However, the Hell Garden was vast, and they didn't encounter any other teams during this time.

The exit light pillar did not disappear with the singing but continued to stand tall in the distance.

Based on his memory of the direction of the misfortune ripples, Tang San accurately determined that the exit light pillar was far from where the ripples converged. He even had a vague feeling that the light pillar appeared in that location deliberately to guide them away from the core of the ripples.

If Tang San were alone, he might have chosen to investigate the center of the misfortune ripples, but there is one known thing about the unknown: it always comes with risks.

"Go!" said a voice.
