Yun Yang sucked in a breath of air. "So that's how it is! We only need to wait for the starlight to shine, and the truth will be revealed. "
Sunlight and moonlight intertwined in the air, swirling slowly like a giant egg yolk. It was half yellow and half white, exuding a hazy, mystical glow. It was a sight to behold.
The setting sun seemed to have lost its remaining luster and energy after emitting thousands of rays of golden light. The sky darkened as usual, without any signs of going against the natural order.
It was probably only here, in the sky above the Seven Star Lake, that there was an additional mass of yellow and white …
At this moment, the sky above the Seven Star Lake was hazy.
After the brilliance of sunlight and moonlight, starlight began to appear as well. This time, starlight descended as soon as it appeared. The starlight that filled the sky flowed through the entire starry sky and descended, merging with the brilliance of the sun and moon in the sky.
The moment the three lights of the sun, moon, and starlight converged, the radiance grew brighter!
A streak of silver light suddenly appeared at the end of the stream and shot straight down into the Seven Star Lake. Immediately after, the entire lake seemed to have transformed into a vast starry sky. As far as the eye could see, specks of starlight could be seen. A cloud of dense spiritual energy gradually rose from the surface of the lake.
The spiritual Qi was different from what he had seen the day before. It was now flowing with a bright silver luster, pleasing to the eye and relaxing the mind.
Yun Yang exhaled softly, feeling waves of comfort coursing through his entire body. Even he, who was used to seeing treasures of heaven and earth and breathing in the Eastern Purple Qi, felt an indescribable sense of joy.
"This must be the true secret of the Seven Star Lake."
Yun Yang said, "Make the best use of your time to cultivate. I'm going down to take a look."
Ji Lingxi asked blankly, "You want to go down to take a look while I'm cultivating? Why do you want to go down to take a look? Isn't it better to cultivate with me? "
What Ji Lingxi and Yun Yang felt was no different. Both of them could feel the surging spiritual Qi and the high degree of assimilation after the spiritual Qi entered their meridians. It was a comforting feeling, as if the energy had instantly turned into their own strength without the need for a lotus flower.
This kind of cultivation method was simply too satisfying, it couldn't be any better!
Ji Lingxi could not understand why Yun Yang had chosen to leave at this moment. This was simply neglecting the essentials!
"Little fool!" Yun Yang said, "You're focusing on the wrong point. Although this strange spiritual Qi is a great benefit to us now, its source is the confluence of the Sun, Moon, and Star Rays just now. The origin of the confluence of the three rays shot directly into the Seven Star Lake, and only then did this spiritual Qi rise from the Seven Star Lake. So the question was, why didn't this new Spiritual Qi directly descend from the sky like yesterday? Instead, we'll have to go through some trouble! "
"Furthermore, today's Spirit Qi is extraordinary. It's even stronger than the Eastern Purple Qi. This makes it even more precious."
"From this to that, could it be understood that … there is a peerless treasure hidden in the Seven Star Lake? The combination of the Sun, Moon, and Star Light is precisely because they shine on this treasure that it gives birth to this mysterious spiritual energy? "
Yun Yang said, "If this is the case, does it not mean that we have to get our hands on this treasure to truly reap the benefits once and for all? Are you willing to leave this opportunity to those bastards?! "
A cold glint flashed across his eyes. "Instead of cutting off their path of retreat forever?!"
Ji Lingxi said worriedly, "This situation has probably been going on for many years. Compared to us, those local tyrants must have discovered it long ago. Why haven't they taken this treasure out yet? Does it mean that there's some kind of danger?"
Yun Yang said indifferently, "At least they're not dead, are they?"
Ji Lingxi's words enlightened him, and he immediately understood.
Yes, these people were not dead!
This was Yun Yang's biggest source of confidence and assurance. Just because they could not get it did not mean that he could not. After all, Yun Yang's cultivation base was already unrivaled in this world, much higher than these people. The difference was like heaven and earth.
If even they were not in danger, how could Yun Yang's probing be in any danger? On the contrary, since he had confirmed that there was no danger, Yun Yang would naturally give it a try.
"Alright."
Ji Lingxi said, "If there's any danger, remember to call for me. I'm not being pretentious, just in case."
Yun Yang nodded and immediately turned into the wind.
The sound of the wind quietly melted into the night sky, arriving at the spot where the three beams of light converged in an instant. Following the light that shone downwards, he dove straight down.
Other than Ji Lingxi, no one else had the chance to notice such a maneuver.
It was truly undetectable!
…
Underwater.
Yun Yang dove all the way down, but he did not transform into his water manifestation immediately. It was probably because the water of the Seven Star Lake was not very deep, only a few hundred feet deep at most. It did not take him long to reach the bottom of the lake, where there was a thick layer of mud.
The beam of light from the convergence of the three beams shone down along the direction of the mud.
Yun Yang's mind raced, and with a single thought, he turned into a water droplet and seeped down along the mud.
It was only about thirty to forty feet before he came into contact with rocks. Even though Yun Yang had turned into a water droplet, he could not penetrate it.
However, the beam of light had obviously stopped there and did not change its direction at all. It was obvious that its target was right below the layer of rocks.
Yun Yang knew that it would be difficult to rely solely on his water manifestation, so he switched to his earth manifestation cultivation method. The cultivation method that originally belonged to Supreme Earth was abruptly activated by Yun Yang, and he instantly became one with the rocks beneath him. He then went to the edge and dove down along the cracks at the edge.
The so-called earth and rock manifestations could only be individual pieces, or else the entire continent would only be a single piece of rock. Since they were not a single entity, there would definitely be gaps between them.
As for Yun Yang's various cultivation methods and forms, they had all provided him with endless possibilities to dive deeper.
After diving another five hundred feet, there were no longer any giant rocks in the area he was at. What was left were only fine gravel and sand, as well as layers upon layers of underground water.
"So it's not that those people don't want to come down and look for me, but they are powerless. Even my water manifestation can't find anything, let alone them …" Yun Yang thought to himself.
Yun Yang thought to himself, 'This place is already two thousand feet away from the bottom of the Seven Star Lake. What kind of expert would be able to reach here? Just the large stone layer alone is already a huge obstacle that would be difficult to cross …'
If he really wanted to go there, he would first have to drain all the water in the Seven Star Lake, then dig out the mud that was a few feet deep, then lift up the layers of rocks that were hundreds of feet thick, and pass through several layers of underground water that was blocked by hard soil. Finally, he would have to continue going down …
There were still layers upon layers of large rocks in front of him …
Moreover, even if he really managed to overcome all these obstacles, he still might not be able to find the key. Moreover, because of the destruction of the landscape, he might lose the opportunity to obtain the triple light spiritual Qi forever. It was indeed a difficult plan to obtain the treasure!
"In this world, I'm afraid that no one else can come here except for me. At least, with the prerequisite of not destroying the landscape, there is definitely no one else." Yun Yang smiled in his heart, feeling quite proud of himself.
However, he stopped smiling after that, mainly because he could not smile anymore.
This was because he continued to descend for thousands of feet, but he still found nothing. If it were not for the fact that the energy of the triple light was still present, Yun Yang would have thought that he was looking in the wrong direction.
"If this goes on, will I directly drill through this continent …" Yun Yang muttered in his heart as he continued to descend.
Finally …
The new layer of obstacle that he came into contact with was even harder than he had imagined. It was simply terrifying …
Moreover, it was cold to the touch, and vaguely familiar …
This is …
"Stellar Steel?"
Yun Yang could not help but be shocked when he discerned the truth of the obstacle. The lowest layer of obstacle that he had encountered so far was actually made of the incomparably hard Stellar Steel, and it seemed to be a complete piece of it!
Upon closer inspection, he saw that the Stellar Steel was emitting waves of dense purple spiritual Qi.
There was no doubt that the treasure that shone and emitted spiritual Qi from the triple light was within this Stellar Steel!
His hard work did not disappoint him, and he finally found the place.
Yun Yang was overjoyed, quickly searching for a gap in all four directions. After much effort, he came to an extremely depressing conclusion – there was nothing! The entire piece of Star Iron was like a gigantic iron ball. It had a circumference of several hundred zhang, and it didn't leave a single trace of its shape behind.
There was no gap at all. It was a complete sphere!
Yun Yang could not help feeling dispirited after confirming this point.
He was still feeling smug just now, thinking that as long as there was a gap, he would be able to go down and obtain the treasure. Now, he was immediately given a resounding slap.
Yun Yang was not willing to give up, so he tried to transform into his metal form and merge with the Stellar Steel. As long as he could merge, he could naturally sneak into the Stellar Steel and leave with the treasure within.
Yun Yang's wish was beautiful, but the outcome was far from ideal. Yun Yang's metal form could not merge with the Stellar Steel …
After a long while, Yun Yang used all his manifestation powers, but no matter what method he used, he could not do anything to the Stellar Steel.
"Do I have to use brute force? Use the Divine Edge's sharpness to fight against the Stellar Steel? "
Yun Yang looked at his surroundings gloomily. It seemed like there was too little space left for him to perform.
He was now a tiny water droplet, there was not much space for him to wield his saber!
Yun Yang made up his mind. "Emmie."
"Ayaya …"
"Come out and take a look at this Stellar Steel, see if there's any way to break it."
Emmie's deific consciousness probed and expressed its helplessness after a while. "Ayaya … Ayaya …"
"Can't break it?"
Yun Yang grew increasingly frustrated. Emmie was the last resort that he could think of, but even Emmie could not do it!
"Ayaya …"
Emmie expressed its frustration, brandishing its claws as it tried to explain.
"This thing is indestructible, so I can only cut it slowly?"
Yun Yang's frustration escalated once again.
Did Emmie mean that even if he chose to break it with brute force, he could only cut it slowly with the sharpness of the Divine Edge?
Just how thick was this Star Iron? How long would it take to cut it bit by bit?
He really did not have much time left!
"Ayaya …"
"Are you saying that … this isn't ordinary Stellar Steel? It's the essence of Stellar Steel, the heart of Stellar? "
Yun Yang was rather frustrated. "Can't I just keep it in my deific consciousness space?"
This was Yun Yang's wild imagination. Keeping it and cutting it slowly in his deific consciousness space would be the most convenient way!
The problem was that the possibility of doing so was slim, at least, that was what Yun Yang thought.
After all, Yun Yang had tried it just now. Although this piece of Stellar Steel was only a few hundred feet in diameter, its density and weight were beyond imagination. At least, Yun Yang himself could hardly move it.
Unexpectedly, Emmie called out hesitantly after a moment of contemplation, "Ayaya … Ayaya … Ayaya?"
I can try?
Keep it in my deific consciousness space!
Yun Yang was stunned before he was overjoyed.
"Let's try!"
For the first time, Yun Yang mobilized all of his deific consciousness energy in a way that pushed him to his limits. Emmie exerted all of its energy and channeled it into Yun Yang as well.
Then, both Emmie and Yun Yang felt dumbfounded.
There was a loud boom.
The piece of Stellar Steel actually swayed a little.
However, it only swayed a little; it did not actually lift it.
As for Yun Yang's deific consciousness energy, it had been completely drained just now.
He floated in the water in a daze, unable to regain his senses even after a long while. Emmie was in a daze as well, its originally dark green leaves seemed to pale in comparison.
At the same time, the radiance of the three combined lights disappeared.
Yun Yang guessed that it should be daybreak now, which was the next day's dawn.
Yun Yang calmed himself down and recovered a little.
"How terrifying." The pain that almost tore his brain apart still lingered in Yun Yang's mind.
This thing could not be opened or moved. What should he do?
Could he really return empty-handed after entering a treasure trove?
Yun Yang pondered for a long time before an idea struck him.
"That's not right. I'm afraid the amount of energy needed to move this iron ball is far more than the weight of this iron ball. Right now, it's almost like it's connected to the entire mountain range and stuck underground. If I cut open the surrounding areas and separate the stuck parts, then it'll truly be an iron ball with only Star Iron!"
"I believe it'll be much easier that way. Compared to being stuck up, down, left and right, it's no different from moving these mountains into the deific consciousness space at the same time. It's reasonable that I can't move it! "
Yun Yang made up his mind and focused on recuperating.
After a while, the Divine Edge emerged quietly and sliced its surroundings inch by inch …
