Chapter 988: Chapter 985: The Opportunity Is Mine
"Everyone, brothers, hold on." Lu Chen sensed the panic among everyone and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to appease them: "Only by working together can we activate this Immortal Talisman."
Ye Wuya and the others were extremely shocked, silently cursing Lu Chen for his shamelessness, for not telling everyone earlier.
Unexpectedly, activating this Immortal Talisman would actually drain a large amount of their True Yuan.
However, seeing that Lu Chen’s own True Yuan was also being drained, the group calmed down.
Although Lu Chen was skilled in Talisman Arrays, he would not harm them.
Moreover, Du Hui and Linglong were beside him.
The golden light emitted from the Immortal Talisman became increasingly strong.
Gradually, a talisman array pattern emerged on it, growing larger under the golden light, rapidly covering the ground.
The originally dark underwater world was instantly illuminated clearly.
Linglong and Du Hui looked up, instantly showing a look of amazement.
It turned out the group was inside a mountain cave deep in the sea. As the golden light from the Immortal Talisman illuminated the entire cave, scenes around the cave came into view, with crystal reflections on many parts of the cave walls.
Du Hui exclaimed in surprise, "This cave is full of Spirit Ore. How come we didn’t notice it before?"
Linglong hurriedly nodded, "Yeah, we couldn’t see it before. This... is the effect of the Spirit Vein Cage Immortal Talisman."
Du Hui suddenly understood.
The two looked at the Immortal Talisman in shock, but saw the light from the talisman growing stronger, the totem on the talisman becoming larger, until finally with a hum, it broke free from the talisman and spread wildly around.
In an instant, in everyone’s sight, the entire underwater cave reflected a fluorescent light.
Especially from underground.
In many places, purple fluorescence could even be seen flashing.
Du Hui exclaimed with joy, "Purple Spirit Crystal? There’s actually Purple Spirit Crystal here?"
Linglong was shocked and said, "So, this is a top-grade Spirit Vein?"
Du Hui nodded, "It should be. Hahaha, who would’ve thought this small planet would hide a top-grade Spirit Vein!"
"Yes, this planet clearly develops technology, so why does it have such abundant Spirit Ore resources? Strange." Linglong’s small face turned red, excited yet puzzled.
Du Hui also showed a puzzled expression, and after thinking, said, "The Spiritual Energy on this planet is very sparse, although there’s a renewal of Spiritual Energy, it used to have little to no Spiritual Energy. This Spirit Vein buried deep in the sea and sealed by the Bluestone Gate, prevented much Spiritual Energy from leaking out, and due to its location, humans on this planet couldn’t explore it, hence it wasn’t discovered or exploited. I speculate that this planet once had a powerful cultivation civilization, but it declined, then evolved into a technological civilization. But the planet holds rich Spirit Vein, eventually waiting for Spiritual Energy renewal. Just as it’s renewing, we’ve discovered it."
Linglong nodded, "Senior Brother Du’s analysis is very reasonable. It’s a pity, cultivators on this planet could have enjoyed a grand cultivation feast."
Du Hui laughed, "In the Cultivation World, the weak are prey to the strong. Since we found this Spirit Vein, it means the humans on this planet have no connection to cultivation. The opportunity belongs to our Lingxiao Sect."
Linglong was open-minded and immediately realized, laughing, "Indeed, cultivation is all about opportunity. The people on this planet have no opportunity for cultivation, destined to be ordinary."
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard Lu Chen say, "Go."
They saw the senior brother and the other six had already separated.
As Lu Chen’s voice spread, everyone quickly headed outside the cave.
Linglong and Du Hui were puzzled, but immediately followed.
Just as they exited the small cave, everyone felt a violent tremor coming from the seabed.
Considering the function and effect of the Spirit Vein Cage Immortal Talisman, everyone’s expression changed, and they sprinted towards the surface of the sea.
Boom!
Rumble!!!
A violent tremor formed at the bottom of the deep sea.
Sea creatures feeling the impending doom rushed away madly.
The eight members of the Lingxiao Sect burst out of the mountain tunnel engraved with the words White Jade City, only to see the remaining underwater mountain trembling madly.
They couldn’t resist looking back, only to see the originally dark massive underwater mountain resembling a giant tree draped with colorful ribbons, the massive mountain shimmering with a faint glow everywhere.
Magnificent colors.
The golden light emitted from the Immortal Talisman was constantly refracted by the cave walls and transmitted outward.
"What a big mountain range!" Linglong was astonished.
At that moment, they were above the highest peak of the mountain, looking down. Although it was the highest peak, the mountain stretched far away, roughly estimating it spanned hundreds of miles, with some relatively lower peaks around it.
But from their experience, it was evident that these comparatively lower peaks were still very high.
However, this vast mountain range was buried under the deep sea, undiscovered by anyone.
"Top-grade Spirit Vein!" Ye Wuya exclaimed with joy.
"There are Spirit Crystals of various colors, this might be a Spirit Crystal Mine."
"We’ve struck it rich."
"With such a Spirit Ore, our Lingxiao Sect could become a One-star Sect."
"Hahaha... this was worth the trip, who would’ve thought this small technological planet would have such a top-grade spiritual ore."
Everyone was unspeakably excited, communicating with Divine Thought.
Rumble!!!
A tremor akin to an earthquake occurred at the seabed.
The seemingly minor tremor, after accumulating several times, formed a powerful energy at the seabed. As the seawater surged, the eight were instantly scattered, forming a huge thrust pushing towards the sea surface.
Though the eight were Foundation Establishment Stage experts, they still sensed great danger in the face of such mighty natural force.
Especially the six who activated the Immortal Talisman, whose True Qi was greatly depleted. It would have been fine to escape the seabed, but now, with the seabed world triggering a tsunami, they couldn’t precisely control their movement direction, directly scattering and moving towards more distant seas.
The tremors became more intense.
On the sea surface, the piercing crunch and grind of colliding icebergs constantly spread.
If anyone were to look from above, they would witness a breathtaking scene.
Thick glaciers stretched over dozens of kilometers undergoing cataclysmic changes, with intact ice surfaces suddenly shattering under the push of huge waves from the seabed. The fractured ice layers buckled and broke, crashing into each other, squeezing, grinding, and emitting ear-piercing shrieks.
Gigantic waves, as tall as a hundred feet, soared from the places where the ice layers fractured, splashing towards the sky.
Massive tremors emerged continuously at the seabed, and the once-calm seawater shook violently as if a giant were shaking the Earth intensely.
The dreadful destructive force was spreading worldwide at an astonishing speed...
The inhabitants of the habitable Earth were unaware that an unprecedented catastrophe was quietly approaching.
