The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 955 Barren Land
Du Yu took Madison Strott and the secrets of his family heritage away with him.

After returning to his residence, he continued to study the rumors, hoping to find some clues.

He soon discovered that Madison Strott's ancestors had indeed discovered several sites that looked like ruins and gave reasons that were somewhat credible.

But what surprised him was that he had never heard of most of them.

So he released Madison Strott again and asked, "Tell me whether these places have changed their names due to the changing times or are not marked on the current map for other reasons."

Madison Strott smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency may not know that the suspected locations marked by our ancestors are actually based on maps handed down from the barbaric period. These locations are the products of the rubbings of the Book of Warnings to the World, and no one has actually seen them."

"Oh! Do you mean they are the imaginations of your ancestors?" Du Yu asked.

"That's not the case. According to ancient legends, there was a catastrophe that caused the world to collapse. They should have existed in the previous era. Legends are not fantasies," Madison Strott emphasized.

"What about the world now? Not even one of the places marked by your ancestors exists?" Du Yu naturally understood what the other party wanted to express, and asked unwillingly.

"There should be another one, but no one can be sure if it is the location of the ruins." Madison Strott said.

"Where?" Du Yu asked.

"The Silent Sea known as the Barren Land," said Madison Strott.

"Sea of ​​Silence?" Du Yu seemed to have seen this name on the map. It seemed that the area was not small.

"It's called the sea, but it's actually a vast desert," said Madison Strott.

Du Yu took out the map and found it in a moment, but he was a little puzzled why there were so few records of a desert that occupied such a large area.

Seeing his puzzled look, Madison Strott immediately explained: "Your Excellency, you don't know that the reason why the Silent Sea is not well-known is actually because it is too special."

"Special? It's just a desert." Du Yu said casually.

"If it were an ordinary desert, there would be nothing to say, but the Silent Sea is special in that it is a truly barren land," said Madison Strott.

"Tell me about it." Du Yu said.

"It means exactly what it says. Ordinary deserts may have plants like short-staple willow, purple-stem willow, long-staple willow, rhubarb, poplar, saxaul, gymnocarp, rhinoceros horn, and camel thorn. There may also be desert oases or Gobi deserts, but there is really nothing in the Silent Sea except for the yellow sand all over the sky," said Madison Strott.

"Why is this happening?" Du Yu asked in surprise.

"No one knows why. My ancestor once speculated that it might be caused by the Collapse of Heaven. So he always believed that if there are wild ruins in this world, they must be in the Silent Sea." Madison Strote said.

"Then why didn't he go exploring? Logically speaking, he should have the courage to do so," Du Yu continued to ask.

"Who dares to talk about courage in the face of the endless yellow sand of the Silent Sea? My ancestors once organized a group of people to go on an expedition, but in the end... not a single person returned from the team that cost so much money," Madison Strott said with emotion.

"What happened next?" Du Yu asked.

"The ancestor not only lost a lot of money, but also lost his most loyal team. It is said that since then, my family has not been able to return to its peak after more than ten generations of development, which also laid the seeds for the decline and migration of the family." Madison Strott said with emotion. "So there is no useful information left?" Du Yu asked.

"It's not all in vain. Our ancestors left a family motto since then, forbidding future generations to explore the Silent Sea again." Madison Strote said.

Du Yu was furious after hearing this, but he also felt that the other party was not lying.

Unwilling to give up, he continued to ask, "Except for your family, has no one in this world ever ventured into the Silent Sea?"

"Of course there were, but without exception, no one who entered the Silent Sea ever came out alive. As time went on, people stopped mentioning it and only made a mark on the maps drawn later, with no specific description at all," said Madison Strott.

Du Yu nodded, agreeing with this statement.

After sending Madison Strott back to the system space, he began to think seriously.

"If there are treasures related to the Great Dao in the Broken World, they should be hidden there. The change of the Collapse of Heaven is interesting." He murmured to himself.

The trip to the Silent Sea was necessary, but before that he planned to learn more about the ancient legends and secrets.

So he once again set his sights on the Liefeng royal family, and once again sneaked into the palace's library to copy all those books such as miscellaneous notes, travel notes, and mountain and river records.

Du Yu actually found some legends about the Collapse of Heaven, but the information about the Sea of ​​Silence was just as Madison Strott said, with no specific content except some warning words.

But precisely because of this, his expectations for that barren land were raised.

After simple preparations, Du Yu used the 'invisibility technique' from the 72 Disha techniques to conceal his whereabouts, and then used the 'golden light technique' from the 30 Tiangang techniques to speed on his journey.

The distance between Fierce Wind City and the Silent Sea is more than 500,000 miles, but it is nothing for a cultivator like him.

In fact, if he had not used the 'Golden Light Method' to a limited extent out of caution, he would have arrived in just a few days.

Again, what he was wary of was not the local indigenous monks, but the visitors from the other three supreme divine realms.

This is indeed the case, because the rules of heaven and earth are incomplete, and the upper limit of local cultivators is extremely limited.

The strongest person Du Yu had ever seen had the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, who hadn't even reached the level of Hunyuan. The threat he posed to him was almost non-existent.

So the real enemies are still those three gods.

Despite his cautious progress, Du Yu still reached the outskirts of the Silent Sea within half a month.

He found that what Madison Strott said was still conservative. Not only had no one explored the Silent Sea, but there were no human habitation within hundreds of miles of the periphery.

It makes sense if you think about it. For example, the desert cities in the main world are either close to oases or at transportation hubs, or you'll find oil popping out when you dig a shovel into the water. Who would come to a dead and barren place like the Silent Sea?

"I'm afraid even the most vicious sand bandits won't come here to take refuge." Du Yu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the yellow sand all over the sky.
