Chapter 1572 Divine Stones

Chapter 1572 Divine Stones

With that, Celis reverted to his full form and sent his roots down to open a passage for everyone. Now that there was no water other than the rivers, Celis was much better at excavating. Well, there was the fact that he didn't want to catch any unnecessary attention. "Here they come!"

*Rumble!*

Celis's roots suddenly burst out of the earth as an enormous amount of Divine Stones came out of the dirt. Rean immediately grabbed one of the stones and couldn't help but become excited. "You just scratched the surface of the mine, but you already pulled out Rank Two Divine Stones!"

Havek and Kentucky also joined in on the fun and used their own methods to excavate! In just a few hours, their group had already gathered over ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones! Don't think this is a small number. Rank Two Divine Stones weren't supposed to be acquired this easy to start with. It's just that Rean's equipment was worth a lot back in the Huring Sacred Land.

It would already be a very good thing if one found a thousand Rank Two Divine Stones in a Divine Stone mine, as the majority would be Rank One. Let alone ten thousand. Besides, the outer area didn't have Rank One, just Rank Two. Without a doubt, this was really a very high-level Divine Stone mine... at least for Rean's group, it was.

"Celis, have you gotten an idea of how big this mine is?" Rean asked Celis as Celis kept using his roots to excavate more.

Celis shook his head, though. "I'm not sure. I'll have to continue to find out. Hahaha!"

However, it was then that Luan spoke, telling them, "It isn't very big."

Obviously, everyone looked straight at him and asked, "Can you see its entirety with your eyes?"

Luan shook his head and nodded right after. "Kind of. I can see the amount of Divine Energy coming from down there. However, I can also see how much it diminishes every time everyone takes Divine Stones out. I think uncle Celis is already about to reach the outer core of the mine."

As soon as Luan said that, Celis pulled out a few more Divine Stones. It's just that this time, they were Rank Three Divine Stones, not Rank Two. "That was quite fast..."

It wasn't the news Celis wanted to hear, though. If he had already reached the outer core of the mine after excavating ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones, then the mine was bound to not be that big. "Well, if Luan is right, then we probably have around one hundred to two hundred thousand Rank Two Divine Stones in the outer layer," Celis said.

Of course, no one there would be unhappy to hear that. Just the Rank Two Divine Stones alone was already great.

"Let's not forget that the devil's soul was using crushed Divine Stones to create the white powder during all this time. What was that he said? Dust Materialization TEchnique? After so long, it makes sense that the mine was depleted," Rean also commented.

Roan then spoke, "That will reduce the amount of time we need to stay here excavating. Perhaps that won't invite some crazy problem once again."

"Crazy problem?" Rean and the others asked in response.

Sadly, Roan didn't say anything else after that, though.

Celis, Kentucky, Havek, and Rean continued to excavate while Roan paid attention to a few other things. And just like that, their group spent the next five days down there.

"We're almost running out of Rank Two Divine Stones," said Celis. "How much have we gathered already?"

Sister Orb, who was receiving everything, immediately answered. [There are one hundred and ten thousand of them here in the Dimensional Realm.]

Havek felt weird every time he heard Sister Orb. "Getting this voice in my mind and not being able to tell where it comes from is really weird. It's nothing like Divine Sense messages."

Rean laughed in response. "Hahaha! Don't worry. You'll get used to it." Rean then asked something else. "Sister Orb, how many Rank Three Divine Stones did we get?"

[Almost three thousand. If you include the remaining one hundred and fifty you have, then you have slightly more than three thousand.]

Rean took a deep breath after that. "I wonder just how many mines had to be emptied back in Huring Continent for the Huring Sacred Land to gather one thousand of them. However, we already got three thousand in a single one."

Havek agreed with Rean on that. "Indeed. It's not that our mine is big, but its quality is very high."

Suddenly, Rean's group felt the concentration of Divine Energy increase again. Following that, Kentucky and Celis pulled out a few slightly shining Divine Stones. It was the first Divine Stones they saw that glowed, albeit very faint. "Could it be..."

Sister Orb immediately confirmed their thoughts as she told them. [Yep. Those are Rank Four Divine Stones, no doubt.]

Rean then held one of those in his hand, which made his body tremble in excitement. "So much Divine Energy. It only loses to Divine Origin Energy. Well, we haven't found Rank Five and Six Divine Stones either. From what we know, only Rank Seven Divine Stones have Divine Origin Energy in them."

[Hmph! Be happy that you were able to use such high-level Divine Origin Energy. Such a lucky event won't happen anytime soon. If you want Divine Origin Energy, you will have to convert normal Divine Energy in your bodies into Divine Origin Energy, and that'll be a very slow process. Not to mention you can only do that at the Transition Realm.]

Rean agreed with Sister Orb once he heard that. "That's true." He then looked at Luan, who seemed a little better as his Divine Water bath continued. "Luan, what can you see now?"

Luan nodded as he replied, "Uncle Celis already reached the inner core of the mine. That's where most of the Divine Energy is concentrated. There won't be any higher-level Divine Stones from now on."

Rean and everyone else didn't mind. "Well, Rank Four Divine Stones are more than welcome already."

However, it was then that Celis found something there. "Hmm? What's this?"
