Nameless Ridge.
After watching Tian Tian fall asleep, Ling Chen returned to the Nameless Ridge. He ran straight ahead, and soon arrived at the place where he had first encountered the Mountain Giant.
To his left was the exceptionally steep mountain that almost pierced through the clouds. To his right was the small mountain formed by the Mountain Giant, or rather, the Mountain Giant itself. The only difference was that the Mountain Giant no longer stopped him. It didn't even emit any aura, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
Ling Chen looked around. In the Nameless Ridge's Central Region, there were only these 2 mountains. The rest of the mountains were flat, and even the weeds were sparse. It was impossible to find any traces of a 'Tribe'. Ling Chen summoned Little Gray, and said, "Little Gray, continue your search. Is there a hidden entrance nearby? "
As soon as Little Gray appeared, the horn on his head flashed with a grey light. Without the aura of danger, Little Gray ran forward easily, while Ling Chen followed closely behind. He had complete trust in Little Gray.
Little Gray stopped in front of the vertical mountain, and wagged his tail. He raised his head to look at the steep mountain wall, and the grey light on his horn became brighter. Ling Chen stopped beside him, and whispered, "Is there a hidden entrance on this mountain wall?"
"Woo woo …" Little Gray responded with a cry, and walked left and right in front of the mountain wall, sniffing it with his nose. Ling Chen also moved half a step closer, and reached out to knock on the mountain wall, looking for any hollow areas.
Little Gray sniffed left and right in front of the mountain wall for a while, and stopped in the middle of the southern part of the mountain. He raised his head to look at the mountain wall for a while, and took a few steps back. Then, he suddenly increased his speed, and jumped high into the air. He used the horn on his head to hit the smooth stone wall that was a metre above the ground.
"Peng", Xiao Hui's horn solidly hit the mountain wall, the grey light on the horn flashed … Then, Xiao Hui was heavily bounced back, falling flat on its back. With great difficulty, it climbed up, stretched out its right claw to scratch its painful horn, its mouth emitting a "wu wu" sound.
"Are you alright, Little Gray … Is there a hidden passageway here?" Ling Chen looked at the place where Little Gray had hit, and he was about to reach out to touch it. Suddenly, a series of "Ka Ka" sounds rang out. It sounded like the sound of gears turning. Amidst the continuous sound, the smooth mountain wall in front of them suddenly shifted. A five-meter-tall, five-meter-wide mountain wall slowly protruded out until it was about half a meter thick. Then, it began to move evenly to the side.
As the mountain wall moved to the side, a wide passageway entrance gradually appeared before Ling Chen's eyes.
The mountain wall continued to move, and the sound of gears turning was gentle and even. Half a minute later, the mountain wall stopped moving, and an entrance that was five meters wide and five meters tall appeared in its entirety.
This is … a mechanism?
Ling Chen's heart was filled with shock. The sound just now was indeed the sound of metal gears grinding against each other. In other words, it was some kind of mechanical mechanism that was operating this stone door. A mountain wall that was five meters tall, five meters wide, and half a meter thick must have been extremely heavy. What kind of mechanism could actually move such a heavy stone door? Moreover, when the stone door was closed, it was perfectly aligned with the mountain wall. Before it opened, he couldn't find any traces of it at all. This kind of mechanical mechanism obviously couldn't have been formed naturally. It could only have been created by someone, but the degree of detail was simply too terrifying.
The hidden passageway was right in front of Ling Chen, but Ling Chen didn't immediately enter. There might be unknown dangers hidden inside, so he had to make sufficient preparations.
After killing a few hundred Rock Devils and the Mountain Giant, as well as the reward from killing the first Heaven's End grade Boss, Ling Chen had accumulated 58350 SP. These Skill Points were enough to increase his abilities by a large margin. Before entering this mysterious stone door that led to an unknown place, he chose to immediately allocate these SP, so that he would be able to fight and protect himself in the face of possible danger.
Although 50,000 SP was a lot, Ling Chen's skills were all very special, and the amount of SP required to level them up was also astronomical. Lucky Hand required 300,000 SP to level up, and Soul Demise required 100,000 SP to level up. These 50,000 SP weren't even enough for them to level up once. After thinking for a while, Ling Chen decisively raised Ling Tian Slash and Ling Tian Burst, his two most commonly used attack skills, to the max level.
[Ling Tian Slash]: LV7-1600 → LV8-2200 → LV9-3000 → LV10.
[Ling Tian Slash]: LV6-1000 → LV7-1600 → LV8-2200 → LV9-3000 → LV10.
[Ling Tian Slash]: Current Level: LV10, max level. After the second profession advancement, it will automatically level up. Uses the weapon in the hand to attack a single enemy. The instant the enemy is hit, the battle soul's power is released, dealing devastating damage to the enemy. Effect: Single target attack, damage is 300% of normal attacks, Critical Chance + 18%, 7% chance to stun the target for 3-5 seconds, very high chance to knock the target back. MP Consumption: 25, Cooldown Time: 0.
[Ling Tian Break]: Current Level: LV10, max level. After the second profession advancement, it will automatically level up. Pour the battle soul's power into the weapon, instantly releasing it as it sweeps forwards, causing a small-scale explosion that attacks all targets within 7 metres. Damage is 200% of normal attacks, MP Consumption: 35, Cooldown Time: 0.
After spending 14,600 SP, Ling Tian Slash and Ling Tian Break reached LV10, their damage, attack range, and additional effects all reached their maximum. Following this, Ling Chen raised the Four Corners Star Formation to the max level.
[Four Corners Star Formation]: LV6 – 2200 → LV7 – 3000 → LV8 – 4000 → LV9 – 5200 → LV10.
[Four Corners Star Formation]: Current Level: LV10, max level. After the second profession advancement, it will automatically level up.

Damage is 800% of normal attacks, Critical Chance + 20%, 100% chance to knock back, MP Consumption: 160, Cooldown Time: 60 seconds.
The max level Four Corners Star Formation's attack range was increased to 15 metres around the user, and the damage was also a shocking 800%. No wonder it was one of the War God's most powerful destructive skills. Levelling the Four Corners Star Formation to the max level took 14400 SP, and the remaining 29,350 SP were evenly distributed among the powerful passive skills by Ling Chen.
[Heaven Wind Technique] LV5 – 5000 → LV6
[War God Technique] LV4 – 5000 → LV5 – 6600 → LV6
[Feng Chen Technique] LV3 – 2600 → LV4 – 3800 → LV5 – 5000 → LV6

A powerful battle technique from the War God's soul, after practising it can greatly and permanently increase the user's Attack Power.

Effect: Movement Speed + 60, Evasion + 60%, when falling, one's speed can be reduced by up to 60% (can be controlled).
Out of the 4 great battle techniques, apart from the Item Manipulation Technique, which was stuck at LV5, all of them had reached LV6. Of the 4 great battle techniques, apart from the Item Manipulation Technique, which was stuck at LV5, had all reached LV6. With this, all of Ling Chen's attack skills had reached max level, and the might of his battle techniques had also reached the later stages. This was all thanks to the reward from a Heaven's End grade Boss. After preparing everything, Ling Chen stepped into the passage behind the stone door.
Ta! Ta! Ta …
Walking into the passage, the sound of his footsteps could be heard clearly. It was very quiet in front of him, as if apart from himself, there were no other living beings. Ling Chen turned his head to look at the stone wall. Thick metal rods crisscrossed the stone wall, and on top of them were hundreds of metal gears. It was extremely complicated, causing Ling Chen's eyes to be dazzled, and his heart to be filled with shock … it was these metal rods and gears that were moving that massive stone door? That stone door was at least a few thousand kilograms heavy. Just what kind of person could complete such a massive task …
Quietly walking forward a few dozen steps, Ling Chen saw two lanterns hanging on the two sides of the stone wall. The lamps were round, about the size of a fist, and gave off a warm light. The light wasn't blinding at all, but it illuminated the surroundings. Ling Chen stared at the 2 lamps for a while … because the feeling that they gave Ling Chen was that they were electric lights in the real world!
At the very least, he didn't remember seeing these kinds of lamps in the Azure Dragon City or any other city. At the same time, under the illumination of the light, Ling Chen suddenly discovered that the stone walls of the passage were abnormally smooth, as if every inch and every corner had been carefully polished. This passage embedded in the mountain wall was obviously man-made. Generally speaking, this kind of passage should be especially rough, and the stone walls on both sides should be uneven. But this passage was a completely different scene. To dig such a wide passage was a huge project, and the stone walls were so fine that they were almost perfect, it was extremely difficult to achieve even with time and energy.
Just who had done this? Just what kind of divine being was this "mysterious tribe" that was hidden here?
The passage was very long, and after Ling Chen walked a hundred or so steps, the two sides suddenly widened. He had already walked into a stone room. The stone room was round, and about 30 meters in diameter. Inside the stone room, there were all kinds of rotating machines densely distributed … that's right! All of them were machines! And all of them were operating, giving off a gentle and even sound.
"Looks like I'm right. To be able to create something so complicated that no one can understand, it could only be that extinct race."
While Ling Chen was in a daze, Qi Yue faintly spoke, his voice full of regret, "This race was forced to hide, and since then, they have never appeared again. Now, they have almost been forgotten, and even thought that they had completely disappeared. I didn't expect that little master would actually find them … in these ten thousand years, if this race had not hidden, with their talent, wisdom, and creativity, the technology of the Moon God Continent would be at least a thousand years ahead of the present.
