Very soon, Wutian arrived outside a ravine. He looked around and saw that the ravine was bottomless. There were two steep mountains that pierced into the clouds and blocked the moonlight, making the ravine seem dark and deep.
Within the ravine, there was a purple-clothed woman sitting cross-legged on the ground. When she saw Wutian arrive, a trace of disdain flashed through her eyes.
Now that they were here, the little fellow no longer pestered Wutian endlessly. It quietly lay in Wutian's embrace and retracted its aura. It did not make a single sound.
"Disciple Xing An greets the Third Elder," Wutian bowed and avoided her gaze, not daring to look at her directly.
"What are you doing here?"
The purple-clothed woman was the Third Elder of the Forbidden Sect. She guarded this forbidden area all year round, and although her status was not as high as the Second Elder's, her strength was not inferior to the Second Elder's.
From Xing An's memories, Huo Yuhao understood that the Third Elder's soul power rank had already reached the Royal Tier more than ten years ago. Right now, he was trying his best to comprehend the Royal Tier Restrictions. Once he completely comprehended them, he would become a true Royal Tier Restriction Master.
"Reporting to the Third Elder, this disciple has come to cultivate in seclusion. This is the Sect Master's Medallion; please accept it," Wutian said respectfully and took out the medallion.
After looking at it, the disdain on the Third Elder's face became even greater. She pointed at the air and a door suddenly appeared in front of Wutian. She said expressionlessly, "Come in, but remember not to run around. Otherwise, even if you're the Second Elder's nephew, I won't show any mercy."
"Many thanks, Third Elder. This disciple will remember!"
Wutian bowed before stepping through the door. Extremely dense essence qi immediately rushed towards him like a flood, surging into his body.
Fortunately, Wutian reacted quickly and quickly closed his 101 meridians. Only then would the Third Elder not have any suspicions. Following this, he walked into the depths of the ravine without looking back.
"The canyon is shrouded in a king rank restriction. According to Dongfang Xiao, the Forbidden Stone Mine is also protected by an emperor rank restriction. No wonder the Forbidden Sect is the largest restriction sect. There are rare restrictions everywhere," Wutian muttered to himself.
In the outside world, it was very difficult to see even a single king level restriction, let alone a monarch level restriction. However, in this place, such restrictions were not rare at all. They could be found everywhere.
The Forbidden Stone mine was in the deepest part of the canyon, but Wutian stopped in the middle. He looked around and transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards a cave abode on the steep wall.
On the mountain peaks on both sides of the canyon, there were many cave dwellings of different sizes. These were specially dug out by the upper echelons of the Forbidden Sect for disciples who needed to go into seclusion.
The reason Wutian didn't continue to enter was because the Third Elder's Spiritual Sense had been locked onto him. It hadn't disappeared even after reaching the cave abode.
The cave abode Wutian chose wasn't big. It was only about 30 meters wide. The layout was also quite simple. There was only a praying mat placed in the middle. It was quite old.
After looking around, Wutian sat cross-legged on the ground. It seemed like he was cultivating, but in fact, he was waiting for the Third Elder's Spiritual Sense to leave.
After a quarter of an hour, the Spiritual Sense finally dispersed. However, Wutian still didn't move. His eyes were tightly shut. It seemed like he was really cultivating, but in fact, he was waiting.
Sure enough, after two hours, the Third Elder's Spiritual Sense descended again. However, it only stopped for a moment. When it found that the people in the cave abode were still there, it left in a hurry.
One day, two days, three days.
On the fifth day, Wutian finally figured out the pattern. Every two hours, the Third Elder would use his Spiritual Sense to sweep the entire canyon. The purpose was naturally to prevent any disciples from messing around in the canyon.
This also meant that, in addition to the time needed to travel back and forth, Wutian only had half an hour to loot the mineral sources and the Forbidden Stone Treasure.
If Wutian used his top speed, he could reach the deepest part in less than a dozen breaths. However, the key was that he didn't dare to use his full speed now. Because once he used his top speed, his aura would be exposed. At that time, he would be discovered by the Third Elder.
Therefore, he could only hide all his aura and walk.
With a frown, Wutian took out the map given by Dongfang Xiao and carefully studied it. As a result, he found that the Forbidden Stone Treasure was also in this canyon, and it was under the Third Elder's Spiritual Sense.
Knowing this, Wutian had no choice but to change his plan. The Third Elder was powerful and extremely cautious. Wanting to get the Forbidden Stone Treasure from under her butt was undoubtedly harder than ascending to the heavens.
"It seems that I have to give up the Forbidden Stone Treasure."
After thinking about it again and again, Wutian made a difficult decision. He just needed to take away a few Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources. Although he also coveted the Forbidden Stone Treasure, he had to put it aside for the time being due to various factors.
Originally, Wutian Da could have asked Little Wu Hao for help. With Little Wu Hao's power, it would be a piece of cake for him to obtain the Forbidden Stone Mine and the Forbidden Stone Treasure. However, on second thought, if he let Little Wu Hao do everything, then what was the point of his existence?
Therefore, all along, Wutian would not ask Little Wu Hao for help unless it was a moment of life and death, because he wanted to reach the peak step by step on his own.
However, Wutian didn't immediately take action. Instead, he waited for the Third Elder's divine sense to sweep out once more and leave. Only then did Wutian stand up and release his heaven-defying domain. Like a ghost, he quickly rushed out of the cave dwelling and silently rushed deeper into the canyon.
As he traveled, Wutian sensed many auras on the steep walls on both sides. Moreover, the deeper he went, the stronger the auras became.
When Wutian arrived at the Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources, he even sensed the auras of dozens of Divine Transformation realm powerhouses. He was shocked. He never thought that there would be so many powerhouses hidden in this canyon.
Luckily, Wutian's temperament had always been calm and steady. In addition, his heaven-defying domain was able to block out all auras, so he wasn't discovered.
If it were someone who was impatient and impatient, then in this place where powerhouses were as numerous as trees, they might have been discovered before they even reached the depths of the canyon.
Wutian's current location was an empty and flat piece of land. It was over a thousand feet wide, and at the end of this land was a towering peak that reached into the clouds, blocking off the road ahead.
All around, there was no sound at all. There wasn't even the sound of insects, so quiet that it was frightening.
Looking back, Wutian's gaze landed directly on the giant peak. He saw that on the stone wall more than five hundred feet above the ground, there was a hole just big enough for one person to pass through. It was pitch black inside, as if a giant beast had manifested here, giving people a creepy feeling.
"It seems that this cave entrance is the entrance to the Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources."
Muttering, Wutian's expression didn't change. He was calm and collected. With a flip of his hand, a Royal Level Unlocking Talisman appeared. Immediately after, he pressed it into the void in front of him, and a door with a dim light immediately appeared in front of him.
With a whoosh, Wutian rushed in directly. After the door closed, he let out a sigh of relief. Then, the Wind God's Boots were activated. He soared into the sky and landed in front of a cave entrance.
Extending his perception in, Wutian didn't find any aura of humans or beasts. Only then did he walk in.
When he stepped into the cave entrance, Wutian was immediately stunned. Then, his face was filled with ecstasy.
There was a huge space in front of him. It was estimated to be at least 10,000 feet wide, and on the ground, there were 20 short mountains of different colors neatly arranged.
These so-called short mountains were at least a thousand feet tall, and the tallest was a thousand feet tall. Every single one of them seemed to be condensed from ice crystals, and they were sparkling and translucent. They flickered with brilliant and dazzling rays of light, and numerous obscure auras were constantly emitted from them, filling the entire cave abode!
Wasn't this the Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources that Wutian had dreamed of?!
Five Level Nine Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources, two King Level Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources, and one Royal Level Forbidden Stone Mineral Source. They were all here. What made Wutian even more excited was that there were 12 Level Eight Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources behind these eight Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources!
This was really an unexpected discovery. A total of 12 Level Eight Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources were not inferior to the value of a medium-sized Spiritual Vein.
According to his understanding, a single mine of Rank 8 Forbidden Ores could produce around ten thousand Forbidden Ores in a year, and the market price of a single Rank 8 Forbidden Ores was around a hundred essences. This also meant that a single mine of Rank 8 Forbidden Ores could bring a total of a million essences in a year.
On the other hand, the total output of the 12 mines was a total of 12 million quintessence!
12 million Essences, this was a concept. It had already exceeded the annual output of a medium-sized Spiritual Vein.
Wutian was both excited and emotional. When he had just started to cultivate, a few hundred Essences was an astronomical figure for him. Now, not only did he have two small ordinary Spiritual Veins, but they were also seven Elemental Spiritual Veins. At this moment, there were 20 Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources in front of him!
The wealth that he had now was probably something that even the top sects in the five continents couldn't compare with!
Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources were not like Spiritual Veins. They didn't have self-consciousness, so they could be stored in a mustard seed bag. However, the space in the mustard seed bag was very small. It could only store Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources below Level Seven. It couldn't store Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources above Level Seven.
However, this wasn't a problem for Wutian. In the vast space of the Star Realm, not to mention 20 Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources, even if there were thousands or tens of thousands of them, they would only occupy the tip of the iceberg.
Suddenly, the third eye split open. Rays of milky light gushed out like waves and covered all 20 Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources. Then, with a thought, the 20 Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources that were like small mountains rose from the ground at the same time. Then, they turned into streams of light that surged towards the third eye!
In the blink of an eye, 20 Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources appeared in the Star Realm. The ground in front of Wutian was completely bare. Not a single Forbidden Stone was left behind.
"Who are you? How dare you touch the Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources of my Forbidden Sect!"
It was also at this moment that an oppressive and angry voice suddenly exploded in the Forbidden Sect. Moreover, a terrifying pressure covered the sky and covered the earth from the Sect Master's Hall!
"I've been discovered?!" Wutian's expression suddenly changed. He was greatly shocked. He never imagined that the operation that he thought was foolproof would actually be discovered!
"Hehe, I said that you're naive, but you still don't admit it. The 20 Forbidden Stone Mineral Sources all have a trace of the Forbidden Sect's Sect Master's Soul Brand. As long as there's any movement, he will immediately sense it. You thought that no one would notice. What an idiot!"
Little Wu Hao's voice was filled with ridicule and mockery. There was even a hint of schadenfreude.
