Don't worry, take your time! "
Lu Ming patted Qiuqiu's chubby head and comforted it.
"Ow!"
Qiuqiu continued to wear a bitter face.
"Qiuqiu, go and continue mining. I'll store these metals for you to eat when you break through to the Divine Master Realm."
Lu Ming encouraged Qiuqiu.
Of course, he wouldn't let Qiuqiu store them. He would take them out to refine weapons when he returned.
Of course, Qiuqiu needed encouragement.
"Okay!"
Sure enough, Qiuqiu was energized. It drilled into the ground and dug with all its might.
Lu Ming followed the tunnel dug by Qiuqiu and went inside to take a look.
The ground was indeed filled with sparkling purple Flowing Violet Gold ore.
Qiuqiu's body became huge. It opened its mouth and swallowed a large amount of ore into its stomach. After a while, it spat out all the impurities. What was left in its mouth was pure Flowing Violet Gold.
"It's really comfortable to bring Qiuqiu to the universe ruins. Even if the other gains are small, the metal materials will definitely be a big harvest."
Lu Ming smiled.
"What a pity. If Qiuqiu had reached the Divine Master Realm, its ability to mine and purify metals would have been greatly improved."
Lu Ming sighed inwardly.
Qiuqiu continued to mine and purify the ores with all its might. Because Lu Ming would store them for it, it would belong to it in the future, so it naturally worked hard.
Lu Ming returned to the ground, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
Although he couldn't increase his cultivation now, he could comprehend the Primitive Style.
In addition, he could also comprehend the Battle Character Manual.
Half a month passed in Lu Ming's cultivation process.
In this half a month, Qiuqiu had completely emptied the small underground mine and purified more than one hundred million jin of Flowing Violet Gold.
More than one hundred million jin of Flowing Violet Gold was enough to refine ten main grade divine weapons.
Of course, a main grade divine weapon couldn't use only one material. It needed to be matched with other precious materials. But this was still a big harvest.
After emptying the mine, Qiuqiu explored the entire continent but didn't find anything else.
Then, the two of them left the continent and continued to travel.
Lu Ming didn't have a goal. As long as he saw a continent that he felt was alright, he would go and take a look.
If he wanted to gain something, he would have to rely on luck and opportunity.
It was said that the cultivators of the previous epoch liked to open up cultivation caves in various famous mountains and great rivers.
In the Great Desolate Continent of the previous era, there were countless cave dwellings of experts. Later on, they were shattered. Some of the cave dwellings might have been preserved and were scattered among the various fragments of the continent.
If he found a cave left behind by an expert from the previous era on a fragment of a continent, he might make a shocking discovery.
There were many such examples in history.
Hence, the ruins of the universe were like an endless treasure trove, waiting to be excavated. It also attracted countless experts to enter.
However, Lu Ming's luck seemed to have run out.
Over the next few months, he and Qiuqiu explored several dozen continents but did not make any major discoveries.
There were a few continents that contained metal ore veins. However, the metal was of a lower grade and could only be used to forge Godly Emperor or Godly Emperor level weapons.
Lu Ming naturally didn't care about such metals. He also didn't bother to spend time for Qiuqiu to excavate them.
It wasn't until three months later that Lu Ming and Qiuqiu discovered a precious metal on another continent. It was a metal that could be used to forge Master level weapons.
Qiuqiu spent more than ten days excavating all the metals here.
In these few months, Lu Ming didn't encounter any danger, nor did he encounter any living creatures. Naturally, he didn't encounter anyone from the Heavenly Palace either.
"The ruins of the universe are really desolate!"
Lu Ming muttered in his heart. However, he thought of another problem that shocked him.
That was the great war of the previous era.
The great war of the previous era had actually shattered the vast Great Desolate Continent. This was simply unbelievable.
As his understanding of the ruins of the universe deepened, Lu Ming felt more and more terrified.
The ruins of the universe were too big. There were countless fragments of continents. How big would these fragments be when gathered together? How grand would it be?
What kind of existence and what kind of battle power could destroy such a grand continent?
In any case, it was impossible for an Origin Realm existence to do so.
Other things aside, an Origin Realm existence couldn't even destroy a planet like the Dragon Clan's Mother Planet, let alone the Great Desolate Continent of the previous era.
Moreover, after the destruction, the laws and mysteries of the universe had been thrown into chaos for countless years. It had only slowly recovered in the recent few dozen stellar years.
The influence of a great war that lasted for such a long time could be described as astonishing.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the previous era was like a bottomless pit. It was unfathomable, like a cloud of fog that was difficult to see through.
He shook his head and tossed these complicated thoughts out of his mind.
"That's …"
Suddenly, Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
This was because he saw a continent ahead to his right. It was extremely huge, much bigger than any continent he had encountered before.
Moreover, this continent actually had plants.
It was a kind of pitch-black plant. Even its leaves were pitch-black.
Lu Ming flew over quickly and examined it from afar. Indeed, many places on this continent were covered in pitch-black plants.
"This continent can actually give birth to plants. It must be very rich in resources. I wonder if there are Desolate Crystals here?"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
Desolate Crystals contained powerful energy. At the same time, they would radiate and nourish everything.
There were many plants here. Perhaps they really did contain Desolate Crystals.
However, plants might also give birth to some terrifying insects. Lu Ming was a little more careful. He concealed his aura and arrived above a forest. He released his spiritual sense and enveloped the forest, carefully observing it.
"There are no living creatures here!"
After a while, Lu Ming whispered.
This forest only had plants. There were no living creatures.
However, Lu Ming did not let down his guard. After all, this was the ruins of the universe. Any place could be filled with danger. In history, who knew how many experts had died in the ruins of the universe.
Lu Ming obviously would not let down his guard. He continued to investigate with his spiritual sense as he flew.
However, Lu Ming still did not find any living creatures after investigating a large area.
Only then did Lu Ming let down his guard slightly.
Perhaps this continent only gave birth to plants and did not give birth to other living creatures.
"Qiuqiu, go down and check if there are any metal ores. Also, look for Desolate Crystals. I'll go and see if there are any Desolate Crystals."
Lu Ming said.
"Okay, leave it to me."
After saying that, Qiuqiu flew out and searched along the ground.
Lu Ming, on the other hand, flew in another direction.
He could only rely on his senses to find Desolate Crystals.
Where there were Desolate Crystals, the energy of heaven and earth would definitely be abnormal. It was not difficult to sense it.
Lu Ming sensed as he flew. Unfortunately, after flying over half of the continent, he did not find anything abnormal.
However, at this time, Qiuqiu sent a message that he had found something.
