Chapter 3427
After they walked for around an hour or so, they saw a swampy area in front of them. The area was huge.
Enormous bubbles appeared from the surface. Once they floated into the air, they burst into miasmas of
unpleasant gas.
James looked at the map again. The map recorded that this area is a dangerous one. The swampy area was filled
with mystical power. Any living being who crossed the area will be absorbed by this power into its depths. Once
trapped within the area, it would be extremely difficult to escape. In addition, there is an uncanny monster living in
the swamps. This monster was very skilled in attacking souls. It could create many mirages, trapping the living
beings who passed by.

This meant nothing to James. He mastered the Five Great Paths, so crossing the swampy area was not a problem at
all.
"James.” Right when James wanted to summon the Space Path so that space could divide itself across this area, Mia
opened up urgently and said, "James, there’s something I must say."
James turned around, looked at her, and responded, "Yes?"
Mia answered, "Based on the information given by my ancestors, we have to complete a series of challenges
before arriving at the Palace. All the monsters that one encounters upon entering Mount Nothingness are the
challenges set up by the Lord of Nothingness. Avoiding these obstacles would render our entry to the Palace
invalid."
"What?" James was stupefied.
"Yes indeed," Mia nodded and said, "This is information given by the living beings in this area to my ancestors, who

were trapped in numerous dangerous places within the mountain. These living beings were left here by the Lord of
Nothingness to protect the mountain and the Palace. In this swampy area, there’s a monster who could create
mirages, trapping living beings within forever. Anyone who lacks a strong cultivation heart would fall prey to these
mirages easily."
Upon hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows. The purpose of this journey of his was not the Palace nor the
legacy of the Lord of Nothingness. He was here merely to use its natural energy to cultivate, thus he simply has no
reason to risk his life. However, he was curious as to how the Macrocosm Ancestral God disappeared.
In one of the rumors he heard, the Dark World declared war on the Illuminated World, causing the Lord of
Nothingness, who was the Macrocosm Ancestral God to be completely eradicated. Another rumor had it that the
Lord of Nothingness was killed by a being materialized from his malicious thoughts.
The Dark Lotus within James’ body and his physical body were so intimately connected to this place that he could

not resist the temptation to find out what exactly was the link here. In all cases, the living beings of Mount Heavenly
Path would not be arriving here anytime soon. Even if they do manage to arrive at Mount Nothingness, they might
not have the guts to enter.
After some thought, James decided to test himself against the many challenges set up by the Lord of Nothingness
and see whether he would be able to find the Palace.
"Right," James nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's give it a try,"
Hearing this, the group was ecstatic. The three had arrived at the swamp many times, but were afraid of facing the
swamp's monster head-on and always sought a way to avoid it. However, now that James was willing to go through
these obstacles one by one, they were delirious. They had faith that following James would be their only way in
finding the Palace.
"Please, do lead the way. We'll follow you from behind. We put our lives in your hands. If you aren't able to
overcome this obstacle, then the three of us will die here," Mia said solemnly.
