"This is where you said the Ziyang Stone Titus is buried. Are you sure?" Lin Ming asked Yan Xiaoyu in disbelief. Yan Xiaoyu nodded and said, "It's right here. I've seen it many times."
"But...here..." Lin Ming pointed at the towering city floating in the sky in front of him. It was clearly the ancient imperial capital!
Lin Ming originally thought that the Purple Sun Stone should be hidden in remote and desolate mountains, or in inaccessible valleys. Even though Yan Xiaoyu had said that it was near the ancient imperial capital, this so-called "nearby" should be at least several thousand miles away.
, In this way, it would not be discovered after such a long time, but he never expected that the location Yan Xiaoyu mentioned was actually the ancient imperial capital!
"You mean the Ziyang Stone Fetus is in the ancient imperial capital?" Lin Ming said in astonishment.
"It's underground here." Yan Xiaoyu said with certainty, her face flushed.
"Underground...this..." Lin Ming still found it unbelievable. Could it be that there were purple sunstone deposits underground in the ancient imperial capital? Could it be that when the city was built, so many powers failed to discover it? This is really a bit
Unbelievable.
"Lin Ming, I also find it incredible, but Xiao Yu'er is certainly not lying to you when he says this. Go down and have a look. Even if there is no Ziyang Stone underneath this ancient imperial capital, there must be something strange. It's just not
Do you know whether the many powerful people living in the city know the situation underground?"
"Okay." Lin Ming chose a mountain valley hundreds of miles away from the ancient imperial capital, drilled into the ground, and inserted it diagonally under the ancient imperial capital at this place, so that it would not attract anyone's attention.
For ordinary warriors, unless they are those who practice the laws of the earth system, it is not easy to crawl underground. The energy consumed to travel underground is thousands of times that of flying in the air, and the energy consumption rate will be
Climbs rapidly as depth increases.
Therefore, even a strong person in the Divine Transformation Realm will not be able to support himself if he burrows into the ground to a depth of one or two thousand miles. And if he encounters a landslide, he will be crushed to death by the huge pressure. If he wants to come out again, he will have to struggle a lot.
The power of the tiger.
Although Lin Ming does not practice the laws of the earth system, he has the Hongmeng space that annihilates the law of annihilation. Earth and rocks belong to the power of the five elements, so they will naturally be decomposed and annihilated by the laws of the earth system. So when Lin Ming opened the Hongmeng space and burrowed into the ground, the soil and rocks entered
Hongmeng Space was naturally decomposed after that, and he drilled underground unimpeded.
Lin Ming had the blood essence of dragon marrow in his body that was so thick that he traveled hundreds of miles in one breath and was still traveling!
During this process, the quality of the soil around Lin Ming changed several times. Many soil layers were similar to the rocks in the Red Wasteland Secret Realm, which could isolate perception. As a result, even the Holy Lord and the Realm King could not see through these rock layers.
Continuing deeper, at 900 miles, the temperature here is already very high, and the pressure is terrifyingly high. This environment is very harsh, and a large amount of energy is consumed every moment.
"The rocks are getting stronger."
Lin Ming took a breath. Generally, the underground depth is measured in feet. Once measured in miles, it is very scary. The dark soil around here becomes harder and harder under the huge pressure and heat, similar to half-melted metal.
, every step forward consumes several times the physical strength of the previous one.
"Huh? This is the Haotian Stone. It is a stone used by large sects to build palaces. It is as heavy as gold and is extremely hard. Even if it is placed in an environment with a temperature dozens of times higher than magma, it will not soften."
Lin Ming frowned. He estimated that he had gone deep underground for a thousand and hundreds of miles. What is the concept of this distance? The speed of rapid march is more than a hundred miles a day. A thousand and hundreds of miles is equivalent to a mortal walking for more than ten days, and
Don’t forget, this is not the distance on the ground, but the depth underground!
How could Yan Xiaoyu, a mortal little girl, see such a deep underground scene?
However, Lin Ming did not have any doubts about what Yan Xiaoyu said. This kind of trust was purely a matter of intuition.
Two thousand miles!
Lin Ming traveled a thousand miles through the rock layer of pure Clear Sky Stone. This thousand mile distance consumed Lin Ming's true energy greatly. Even in the Hongmeng Space, it was extremely difficult to decompose the Clear Sky Stone! This thousand mile distance
The energy consumption is at least five times that of the previous thousand miles.
"I absorbed seventy-two dragon bone relics, the blood of dragon marrow, and withstood nine heavenly tribulations. My endurance is unimaginable. However, traveling underground for so long also consumed most of my energy. This place is still
It’s really not something ordinary people can get down here.”
Lin Ming swallowed some pills, took out a few pieces of Amethyst to absorb the energy, and moved forward again. Below were pure Haotian stones, and the temperature gradually climbed to a hundred times the temperature of magma, almost equivalent to that of the Fire Spirit Star.
Eighteen levels of hell.
As long as it was a large star or the main continent of the God's Domain, it would get hotter as it went underground. Fortunately, Lin Ming knew the laws of fire, so the heat was nothing to him, otherwise he would have been unable to move even an inch.
At a depth of 2,500 miles, the Haotian Stone began to soften. From softening at the beginning, it later simply melted into magma!
Haotian Stone is originally pure white without any impurities, and the magma it melts into is also white, as mellow as milk.
Of course, this seemingly crystal clear and mellow liquid is actually so hot that the sacred vessel will melt if it is immersed in it.
At this depth, the pressure is unimaginable, and there is hot milky white liquid everywhere. It is actually a liquid, but it has become extremely dense and viscous under the huge pressure. If you want to move in these magma, which is far more viscous than mercury
, the energy consumption is also huge.
"The environment here..." Lin Ming took a deep breath. The 1,500-mile-thick Haotian Stone rock formation was floating on a milky white magma ocean. He did not expect such a scene below the ancient imperial capital.
Mu Qianxue said: "The Haotian Stone magma here can also isolate perception. The detection range of my perception cannot exceed ten feet, and then it will be swallowed up by the magma. Even if a real king-level expert comes here, he can't detect more than ten feet."
A distance of twenty feet, and even if we use energy to create light, it cannot penetrate the Haotian Stone magma, and we are like a blind man."
Lin Ming was just blind here. If Yan Xiaoyu hadn't kept pointing out the direction, it would have been a joke for Lin Ming to find the treasure. The Ziyang Stone Fetus was just a stone as tall as a person. Such a big stone would not be buried.
In such a boundless and bottomless ocean of magma, you can't see with your eyes or find it with your senses. You can't even touch it with your hands until the day the world is destroyed!
"There...go forward..."
Lin Ming's consciousness has been connected to the Ziji Ring, and he can communicate with Xiao Yu'er at any time. He doesn't know how Yan Xiaoyu's eyes grow. Perhaps, to her, the Zi Yang Stone is like a beacon in the dark night.
Bright, she doesn't need perception or eyes, she only needs the instinct of the soul to find the right direction. This is an ability that no warrior has.
Lin Ming didn't think much and headed in the direction indicated by Yan Xiaoyu.
The direction Yan Xiaoyu pointed out was very strange. It didn't seem to be a straight line, but a curve. After moving forward for a while, Lin Ming felt as if he had passed through something. Then, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, and the temperature suddenly dropped a lot.
The magma layer of the Haotian Stone also disappeared, and he came to the depths of the underground again, having traveled through time and space just now.
"Well... was it... a teleportation circle just now?"
"It's a space node." Mu Qianxue said suddenly. Space nodes are similar to teleportation arrays. They are entrances to different spaces. The only difference is that the teleportation array is man-made. It requires purple sunstone to operate, and space
Nodes are naturally formed and require no energy to exist permanently.
"Spatial node, no wonder I felt that the route forward was a little distorted just now. It turns out that there is a spatial node here." Lin Ming took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, there was a spatial node hidden deep underground in the ancient imperial capital. The spatial node was originally very small, and
It is buried at least five thousand miles underground. What is the concept of five thousand miles underground? For an ordinary planet, which is more than ten thousand miles in diameter, five thousand miles underground is exactly equivalent to the center of the planet!
With such depth, coupled with this vast and boundless area, perception is invalid and vision is useless. Moreover, the space laws around the space nodes are also distorted. The space nodes are hidden in the distorted time and space. If you are not paying attention, you will miss it.
If it weren't for Xiao Yu'er's special sense, it would be impossible to find it.
Besides, who would have nothing to do and spend a lot of energy to go five thousand miles underground? Therefore, many powerful people in the ancient imperial capital may not know that there is such a small space hidden deep under their city.
node.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Lin Ming goes out now and comes down again, no matter how good the warrior's memory is, it will be almost impossible for Lin Ming to find this spatial node in the lava ocean where his perception is useless.
"What on earth is this place..." Lin Ming was confused in his heart. Is the hidden space node under the ancient imperial capital a coincidence, or is it hiding some secret?
"There are such strong fluctuations in the vitality of heaven and earth. There must be an energy source nearby, and... well? The laws of space here are also distorted, and it doesn't look like a natural distortion. It seems to be caused by the formation!"
Mu Qianxue's attainments in the Laws of Space and the Laws of Time were so far away from Lin Ming that she could tell at a glance that there were energy fluctuations caused by space formations here.
"Space formation? This place can't be created by man, right?" Lin Ming's surprise was nothing trivial. The presence of the formation naturally proves that this place was man-made!
Before he had time to think about it, Mu Qianxue suddenly said: "Perception is now available."
After listening to Mu Qianxue's words, Lin Ming tried to detect his perception. Although it was still somewhat suppressed, he was finally able to clearly see the scene within a ten-mile radius. Lin Ming was dumbfounded by this detection.
