After leaving the café for over an hour, Xia Pingan suddenly drilled out of a granite layer with distinct edges and corners in the thick underground rock stratum of the Capital Region of the Great Fire Country like a ghost and a bubble. Watching this medium-sized underground karst cave, he finally revealed a wisp of smile as he muttered, "Here it is..."
The underground world was not solid. Those who had experience in exploring mines, exploring underground caves or digging underground tunnels would know that the structure of the underground world in this world was very peculiar.
In addition to underground rivers, there are also many natural caves or karst caverns of various sizes in the depths of the underground.
Commoners' exploration ability in the underground world was very limited. Most of them were limited to some caves on the surface of the earth. However, with the help of special drilling equipment or excavating underground cities and underground bases, humans could drill about 10,000 m underground. Even summoners would find it very difficult to enter the depths of the underground world. They were as difficult as commoners. As for space invading creatures such as sandworms and demon rats, their underground activities were also limited. Sandworms and demon rats could hardly survive in the special hard stratum and the lack of air.
Only summoners who had mastered the earth escaping skill could come and go freely in the underground world.
After leaving the café, Xia Pingan sneaked into the underground of the Country of Fire's capital when no one was paying attention. He started to find a place to stay underground.
Xia Pingan had already found some underground crevices and natural karst caves. Those underground crevices and karst caves were either too shallow to the surface of the earth, only hundreds of meters or 1,000-2,000 meters deep; or they were relatively closed without air; or the temperature and humidity were not suitable.
However, the underground karst cave in front of Zhang Tie was pitch-dark. Its volume was about 10,000 cubic meters. The karst cave was surrounded by granites and limestones. Among those granites and limestones, there were some crevices which were shorter than 10 cm and longer than half a meter. In those crevices, some underground mosses were growing on those rocks. Zhang Tie could faintly hear the sound of flowing water from the depths of the crevices.
What was even rarer was that there was air here. It was not stuffy. The flowing underground river disturbed the air here.
The air here might have existed when the landscape was formed millions of years ago, or it might have been brought by the underground river or the underground plants in the karst cave. But in any case, there was air here.
Xia Pingan was very satisfied with the environment here. It was estimated that no living creatures would come to this place for millions of years. The underground rock layer more than 10,000 meters deep could hide all the divine power fluctuations here. More importantly, this place was under the central area of the Capital Region of the Great Fire Country. Above this karst cave was where the Ministry of Defense, the Committee of Order, the Congress, and other important institutions of Great Yan gathered. Needless to say, it was heavily guarded. No one would inexplicably carry out a 10,000-meter drilling project above. The Devil Eye and space invading creatures also avoided this area. Therefore, the underground here was the safest place. No one would disturb this place.
"Department Head Yan probably didn't expect that I would be right under their noses …" Xia Pingan smiled. He looked at the strange rocks around him. With a wave of his hand, the Sky-burning Vermilion Bird was summoned.
The fiery red Sky-burning Vermilion Bird brought red light and heat to this place that had been without light for millions of years. The high temperature brought by the Sky-burning Vermilion Bird directly melted a large piece of granite that was as rugged as a mountain. A hemispherical space was melted in the granite. Under the flames of the Sky-burning Vermilion Bird, the melted granite was like clay in a child's hand. As it flowed, it gradually solidified into a simple stone bed and stone table.
As the Sky-burning Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, the heat of the melted granite converged into sparks and was absorbed by the Sky-burning Vermilion Bird. After that, Xia Pingan waved his hand and put the Sky-burning Vermilion Bird back into his secret mandala.
When the Sky-burning Vermilion Bird disappeared, a brilliant and tidy hemispherical space hidden in a huge rock appeared in front of Xia Pingan. In this space, there was a stone bed and a stone table. The stone bed and table were not delicate. They just looked like melted candles. However, they could basically be used. Additionally, the temperature had returned to normal.
After entering this hemispherical space, Xia Pingan looked around and nodded with satisfaction. It should be fine to settle down here. From now on, this place would be his secret base in the Great Fire Country. As long as this planet was not destroyed, there should be no problem here. His doppelganger could wait for him here safely.
If he had mastered such a powerful Earth Escape Technique when he had just arrived in Paris, he might not have had the chance to meet Emily again.
He took out a few moonstones and inlaid them on the walls of this hemispherical space. The pitch-black space was lit up and looked a bit more romantic.
Then, he took out a tortoiseshell Five Elements Inverted Eight Trigrams Sword Array and activated it. He released a few mechanical spiders and threw them in an inconspicuous corner. This space was under the double protection of the array and the mechanical technique. It was absolutely safe. Even if there were any changes, he could sense it in time and escape with the Earth Escape Technique at any time.
"This is the safest safe house. Unfortunately, there are too few warm jades on Earth. If there was a warm jade stone bed, that would be even better!" Xia Pingan nodded with satisfaction. After feeling that there were no more flaws and worries, he took out a thick cushion for cultivation and laid it on the stone bed.
Xia Pingan sat cross-legged on the mattress and took out the three realm pearls that Department Head Yan had just given him.
At this moment, the upper limit of Xia Pingan Secret Mandala's Divine Power had reached 8,566 points. He was getting closer and closer to the 8,820 points of the Seven Sun Realm. As long as he had the realm pearls, he would be able to break through. If he encountered special realm pearls, he might be able to complete the final breakthrough with just a few of them.
Xia Pingan was prepared to collect realm pearls on Earth to break through the 8,820 points of Divine Power. Then, he would return to the Godslaying Bug World to find the Seven Sun Realm Divine Spring to complete the final breakthrough.
"Let's see what kind of surprise you have for me first!" Xia Pingan picked up the realm pearl that Ji Changxue had shot and began to drip his blood to fuse with it.
Previously, Department Head Yan had said that this realm pearl was the Divine Eye Realm Pearl. Xia Pingan had doubts in his heart, but he had not said anything. This was because, according to what he knew, Ji Changxue had indeed trained his eyes first. This was also the standard of a godly archer. Therefore, it was very normal for this realm pearl to have a spell slot that could strengthen a summoner's eyes after fusing with it.
However, in history and legends, the person who had taught Ji Changxue how to train his eyes was Handan's godly archer, Fei Wei. After Ji Changxue had mastered his eyes and learned the ultimate archery skill from Fei Wei, Ji Changxue had heard from Fei Wei that the world's most powerful archery skill was mastered by someone called Gan Fu. Therefore, Ji Changxue had gone to Gan Fu to learn from him. In the end, he had learned the pinnacle of archery from Gan Fu.
In the records of Taiping Imperial Records, Fei Wei was Gan Fu's student and disciple. After Fei Wei had mastered his archery skill, the two of them had a competition in archery. Fei Wei had secretly shot Gan Fu with an arrow. Gan Fu had caught Fei Wei's arrow and shot it back at Fei Wei. Fei Wei had run around a tree, but Gan Fu's arrow seemed to have grown eyes and could fly. It had also chased Fei Wei around the tree. In the end, Fei Wei had been defeated and had admitted defeat.
If Ji Changxue had only learned the eye skill and archery skill from Fei Wei, he had only learned half of it. Ji Changxue's highest level of archery was actually the pinnacle of archery that he had learned from Gan Fu.
Therefore, those people who had fused with Ji Changxue's realm pearl probably hadn't fused it perfectly. They had only fused part of it. If this realm pearl could be fused perfectly, it might bring him other surprises.
