Qin Chuan dived deeper into the lava.
After going about 4000 meters deep, he discovered something.
About ten thousand meters away, his divine consciousness caught many scraps of magical artifacts.
Qin Chuan immediately rushed over.
He reached the area. Fragments of magical artifacts that were visible to the naked eye were scattered in the magma.
These fragments no longer carried any spiritual energy, but because of their unique material, they didn’t melt.
After discovering the fragments of the magical artifacts, Qin Chuan was extremely moved. This trip had not been in vain.
Thus, he continued to dive downwards.
However, when he released his divine consciousness, he suddenly realized that when his divine consciousness reached about 2000 meters, he seemed to have touched something and could not continue.
Qin Chuan was familiar with such a situation.
He guessed that he had most likely encountered a barrier.
Qin Chuan immediately rushed to that spot.
Just as he had guessed, it was a barrier.
Moreover, this barrier was almost identical to the one underground in Cheng’an.
Qin Chuan extended his hand.
His hand passed through the barrier smoothly.
Qin Chuan’s eyes lit up, and then his entire body slipped inside.
The first thing he saw was darkness, just like the space beneath Cheng’an.
Qin Chuan guessed that the Tall Heavens Sect was most likely here, and this space was very likely created by the sect.
If that was the case, then the space under Cheng’an was probably also a cultivation sect.
The inside of the huge, multi-colored crystal ball was probably a world similar to a mystic realm.
If he thought about it this way, he reckoned that there were people living inside it, and they were cultivators like him.
At this thought, Qin Chuan was filled with anticipation.
In order to confirm his conjecture, Qin Chuan began searching in the darkness.
After an unknown period of time, he finally discovered a multi-colored crystal ball that was exactly the same as the one in Cheng’an.
Their sizes were similar as well.
Qin Chuan thought that his guess wasn’t far off.
Qin Chuan took out his flying sword and attacked the multi-colored spherical crystal with all his might.
He was currently in the third class of the Golden Core realm and Tier 2 of Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Technique. He had astonishing destructive power.
The power of his strike was several times that of ordinary nuclear weapons.
However, after a loud bang, the multi-colored crystal remained completely intact. There was only a small dent on its surface.
“Indeed, I’m still too weak.”
After this test, Qin Chuan suddenly felt that his earlier thoughts were a little childish.
He felt that even if he reached the Nascent Soul realm, he wouldn’t be able to destroy this multi-colored crystal. He would probably have to go higher or improve his Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Technique to Tier 6 or above.
Therefore, it would take a long time for him to unravel the mystery of the multi-colored crystals.
Now that he had achieved his objective, Qin Chuan didn’t stay any longer.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded from afar.
Pairs of blood-red eyes swept towards Qin Chuan like sparks.
“Desolate Beasts?” Qin Chuan murmured.
Quickly, those crimson-eyed creatures entered the range of Qin Chuan’s divine consciousness.
They really are Desolate Beasts. I wonder if they were the main culprits behind the demise of the cultivation era?
Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, then immediately left.
He did not have the time to deal with these beasts.
Not long after, Qin Chuan successfully exited the barrier. After that, he continued moving upwards and flew out of the lava, returning to the outside world.
It was already two in the afternoon.
“I didn’t expect this trip to take so much time.
“I already got what I wanted, I’ll go get the supreme-grade spirit stone first. After that, I’ll go to the laboratories in the Yun Country to take a look.” Qin Chuan muttered to himself.
After which, Qin Chuan flew towards the museum.
He walked to the entrance of the museum, bought another ticket, and walked in again.
Arriving at the level where the supreme-grade spirit stone was located, Qin Chuan stopped in his tracks. There was something wrong with his expression.
The display booth holding the supreme-grade spirit stone was empty.
“Where is my supreme-grade spirit stone?”
Qin Chuan was confused.
“No way! Am I really that unlucky?”
Before he left, Qin Chuan had briefly worried that the spirit stone would go missing.
Now, it had gone missing. His worries had come true.
The supreme-grade spirit stone that he was picking up for free disappeared.
Qin Chuan felt upset and indignant.
He could not figure out why the supreme-grade spirit stone disappeared after he had left for just half a day.
If someone had stolen it, the museum would have closed.
On the way here, he didn’t see any police cars.
This meant that it was very likely that it was the museum’s own doing.
Coincidentally, there were a few old men and women there. Qin Chuan went over to ask them what was going on.
“Hello, may I ask why the divine stone in the display booth is gone?” Qin Chuan asked.
The group of elderly glanced at Qin Chuan. From his accent, they no longer had any doubts about his identity.
One of the old men said, “Young man, you don’t look like a local. You must be from another county!”
Qin Chuan nodded.
The old man sighed. “Then you came too late. The divine stone was taken away by the staff at noon.”
“Why did they take it away?” Qin Chuan continued to probe.
The old man frowned and shook his head. “I’m not too sure about that.”
“Alright!” Qin Chuan smiled. “Thank you, sir!”
After that, Qin Chuan came to a corner.
He spread his divine consciousness and enveloped the museum in search of that supreme-grade spirit stone.
However, he did not discover it.
“It’s not here anymore?”
Qin Chuan paused.
Since the person in charge of the museum wasn’t here, he found a manager with higher authority.
His divine consciousness entered the other party’s memories and immediately found the information he wanted.
“It was actually taken by the military. There must be a reason for taking the supreme-grade spirit stone at this time.”
Qin Chuan rubbed his chin and pondered.
“It just so happens that I want to look for them too. I’ll know when the time comes.”
Qin Chuan retracted his divine consciousness and walked out of the museum. He found a hidden corner and cast an invisibility spell. After which, he flew into the sky.
…
Xiya Island.
The largest island in Yun Country and also a military base.
On this day, a military helicopter whistled through the air, hovering halfway up a mountain.
The cabin door opened, and a long rope was lowered.
Then, brawny soldiers slid down the rope to land on the ground.
The last to come down was an officer.
From the military rank on his clothes, he was a Colonel.
The Colonel carried an exquisite silver metal box.
Not long after they landed, a group of soldiers came from the forest. They were probably here to pick them up.
“Colonel Chichi!” A soldier saluted.
“What’s the progress now?” asked the Colonel.
The sergeant’s face darkened as he said in a low voice, “There was an accident and we failed.”
The Colonel frowned in thought and sighed. “We failed again!”
After a short silence. “Colonel Chichi, have you gotten the item?” the sergeant asked.
The Colonel patted the metal box. “This is the last piece. If we still don’t succeed, then…”
He did not finish his sentence.
“Colonel Chichi, let’s hurry back to the base! The doctors can’t wait any longer.”
“Sure!”
Then, this group of people walked deeper into the forest and gradually disappeared.
