Although the old man did not possess any Origin Power, when his eyes landed on a person, they would feel a mountain-like pressure.
Although Ye Tianze possessed Origin Power, it was not at its peak.
When he was stared at by the old man, he inexplicably felt his scalp go numb. When he met the old man's gaze, he felt as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
The old man stared at him for a long time before saying, "You seem to be full of Origin Power. Are you new here?"
Ye Tianze nodded but did not say anything.
"Have you seen Lady Yu?" the old man continued asking.
Seeing Ye Tianze's puzzlement, he continued, "She is the old woman who led you here."
"Yes," Ye Tianze nodded.
The old man was silent for a while before he waved his hand. The miners around him immediately dispersed, leaving only two lamps in the darkness.
"Do you know where you are?" the old man continued asking.
"The bottom of Heaven Abyss," Ye Tianze said.
"Not only is it the bottom of Heaven Abyss, but it is also the land of exile. Anyone who enters this place will definitely die," the old man said.
The old man said, "I've tried countless times to leave this place, but I've failed in the end. I've been trapped here for 5,800 years. Soon, I might die. This is my fate, but I'm not willing to accept it!"
"Is it difficult to escape?" Ye Tianze asked.
"You need lamp oil!"
The old man said. "The lamp oil is in the hands of Lady Yu. However, Lady Yu's cultivation is unfathomable. She can give you as much as she wants. If there is no lamp and you are in the darkness, your flesh and Origin Power will be sucked away. In the end, you will have no choice but to return to the manor and become Lady Yu's slave."
"What are those things in the darkness?" Ye Tianze asked.
"They are creatures that cannot be seen with the naked eye," the old man said. "We call them Death Light Worms. Only Lady Yu's lamp can repel them and prevent them from approaching."
"Then, why are you looking for me?" Ye Tianze asked, "With my cultivation, I can't help you leave this place. Why don't you look for Lady Yu?"
"Lady Yu is a dog, a dog raised by an aristocratic family." The old man said, "She won't help us. She needs us to do our best to help her mine in order to obtain the antidote."
"What antidote?" Ye Tianze asked curiously.
"She has a disease that prevents her from seeing the light of chaos. She can only survive in the darkness. If she is in the light, she will age ten thousand times faster than in the darkness!"
"However, even at the bottom of Heaven Abyss, Lady Yu's illness will still flare up. Only the clan's antidote can alleviate her symptoms."
Ye Tianze didn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, the old man continued, "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Nangong Xiong. I am looking for you because I don't believe that you have such good luck to be able to find such a huge open-air purple crystal mine. However, I don't want to know how you found it, but I know that with your ability, you must have other tricks up your sleeves."
Ye Tianze looked at him, indicating for him to continue.
"Without the lamp oil, you won't be able to leave even if you exhaust your yuan energy. Even if you can leave, you still won't be able to escape the control of Heaven Abyss' guards," Nangong Xiong said.
Nangong Xiong said, "However, with this huge Purple Crystal mine in front of us, it's different. If we work together and steal a large amount of lamp oil from Granny Yu, we can destroy this Purple Crystal mine."
Ye Tianze understood what he meant. He didn't really want to destroy this purple crystal mine. He just wanted to obtain the ability to do so.
In this way, he could threaten Lady Yu, or rather, threaten those above Heaven Abyss. Perhaps he could obtain a special pardon and leave this place.
However, Ye Tianze didn't want to do that. He was exiled here and had finally escaped the attention of the Nangong family. How could he blow this matter up and attract the attention of the Nangong family?
He wasn't a fool.
"Why me?" Ye Tianze asked again.
"We don't live in the manor. Only a newcomer like you can live in the manor. Lady Yu isn't very wary of you. As long as we steal the lamp oil, we can all regain our freedom."
Nangong Xiong said.
Ye Tianze rubbed his chin and pondered. "Can lamp oil really destroy the purple crystal mine? I don't think it's that easy! "
"The purple coins made from the purple crystal mine are almost indestructible. However …" Nangong Xiong said, "This lamp oil is the only thing that can corrode the purple crystal mine. This is because this lamp oil doesn't come from the Nangong family, but from the Boat of the Other Shore!"
When he heard the Boat of the Other Shore again, Ye Tianze's heart was very calm.
He thought for a while and said, "I can consider it. However, I want to know how big this huge mine is."
Nangong Xiong looked at him in surprise. Most people who came to the bottom of Heaven Abyss dealt with purple crystal mines every day.
They also knew that purple crystals were almost omnipotent outside. However, in Heaven Abyss, they were completely useless.
They couldn't be used for cultivation. Although they were hard, they couldn't be used to refine weapons. They were not much different from ordinary stones.
However, when he thought of how Ye Tianze had just arrived and hadn't changed his mindset outside Heaven Abyss, he felt that it was very normal.
"I can give you a few hours. However, you'd better not have any ideas about this ore. You won't be able to move it!"
Nangong Xiong said.
With that, Nangong Xiong immediately left. There wasn't a single miner left in the surroundings. Ye Tianze then carefully sized up the ore.
He dug up the entire ore area and found that it was a whole piece of ore. It was fifty feet long and thirty feet wide.
Ye Tianze tried to dig the ore out from the ground. With his strength, he could even move a mountain.
However, he didn't expect that no matter how hard he tried, the ore wouldn't move at all.
Ye Tianze originally thought that if he could dig out the ore and duplicate it with the treasure basin, he would make a fortune.
Even if he couldn't duplicate it, he still needed to move the ore away. This was because what the treasure basin really cared about wasn't the ore, but what was buried under the ore.
As time passed, the lamp in his hand became dimmer and dimmer. If this continued, the lamp would go out sooner or later.
Although he didn't know how terrifying the Death Light Worms were, Ye Tianze knew that as time passed, he wouldn't be able to explore the mysteries at the bottom.
At that time, even more experts from the Nangong Clan would be attracted to this place.
He couldn't directly cover this place with the treasure basin, because he didn't know if there were still people from the Nangong Clan watching him.
After thinking for a long time, Ye Tianze could only use the most stupid method. He dug at the edge of the ore, hoping to reach the bottom and find the treasure that the treasure basin sensed.
This process was very long, but Ye Tianze still managed to dig to the bottom before the time was up. He also saw the treasure that the Treasure Basin Roc sensed.
