In the reddish-grey sky, countless streams of air surged from one side to the other like a river. There was a shocking momentum that would never return, and a desolation that seemed like the end of the world.
This secret realm seemed to be heading towards destruction step by step.
The sword was like a spark as it streaked across the sky. Then, an extremely sharp sound rang out as the evil corpse in front of him was pierced through between its eyebrows. Then, flames spread out and covered its entire body.
A Single Spark Makes a Prairie Fire!
Under the blazing heat, the evil corpse was instantly burned into charcoal and couldn't be more dead. Chen Zong searched around, but didn't find any evil corpse or evil crystal. This was normal.
According to the situation a thousand years ago, the Spirit Gold Secret World would be open for three months. Of course, it could be longer or shorter now. Today was the third day since Chen Zong had entered the Spirit Gold Secret World.
During this period of time, Chen Zong had killed four evil corpses and one evil spirit, as well as two earth spirit realm cultivators who had tried to attack him. One was an earth spirit realm cultivator from the White Floating Palace, and the other was an earth spirit realm cultivator from the Battle School.
Unfortunately, he hadn't gained much. He'd only gotten the five spirit gold mines of different sizes on the first day.
"Anyone from the Empyrean Association will be killed. You will be the second." When the voice filled with killing intent rang out, a shocking storm swept across the sky.
The roar was extremely shocking. The storm was black, and there seemed to be streaks of red lightning tearing through the sky with shocking waves of destruction.
Chen Zong's expression was solemn as his eyes focused slightly. He saw the attacker through the black storm and lightning.
It was an earth spirit realm cultivator from the Skyscraper Association. He was at the mid fifth level of the earth spirit realm. The sword in his hand had a strange shape and was slightly curved. As it flashed, it looked like a bolt of lightning.
Early fifth level of the earth spirit realm. Although it was only an ordinary level, it wasn't weak and was enough to pose a threat to Chen Zong. After all, there was a gap of two levels between them. No matter how strong one was, it would be difficult to rely on the spirit energy of the earth vein to fight across two levels.
However, Chen Zong wasn't afraid. The spirit energy of the earth vein was only a part of his strength. The more powerful force was the Void Sword that he'd condensed with his mind.
To some extent, the Formless Sword Force was like a powerful secret technique. The only side effect was that it consumed more energy.
Therefore, Chen Zong would often judge whether to use the Void Sword Force to fight the enemy based on the strength of the enemy.
The enemy in front of him was not someone he could deal with with with just the spiritual energy of the earth vein. He had to activate the Void Sword Force.
In fact, Chen Zong hadn't used the Void Sword Force against an enemy since he'd ascended to the earth spirit realm. Therefore, Chen Zong didn't know what level his strength would reach if he used the Void Sword Force against an enemy, but he was certain that he'd be able to deal with his opponent.
The black-colored storm was mixed with red lightning as it blasted over. Its might was shocking. The hard and desolate ground was torn apart wherever it passed. Gravel and soil were swept into the black-colored storm and twisted into powder, causing the momentum of the black-colored storm to be even more shocking. A deafening rumbling sound resounded throughout the sky.
"Let's give it a try." Thinking to himself, Chen Zong activated the Void Sword Force. Shocking strength instantly spread out and penetrated the blade. Shortly after, the friction between the strength and the air was like adding oil to a fire, causing a shocking fire to burst forth. The fire instantly converged into a single point and condensed at the tip of the sword. Chen Zong's arm pierced through the air as he thrust it out.
A sharp sound rang out as the sword had already transformed into a speck of light, dazzling to the extreme as it pierced through the air.
It was like a shooting star streaking across the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the sword pierced through the storm and shattered the red lightning bolts. It pierced out from the other end of the storm and headed straight for the fifth level earth spirit realm cultivator from the Skyscraper Society.
The fifth level earth spirit realm cultivator was greatly shocked. He'd never thought that his opponent's strength would be so strong that he'd be able to pierce through his powerful attack with a single sword strike. It was like a hot knife through butter, and its power was terrifying.
"Slash!" With an explosive shout, he gripped the longsword tightly with both hands and chopped down fiercely. The blade light was like a black lightning bolt that tore through the sky. There was even a trace of red on the edges, and it was incomparably terrifying. It drew a stunning arc and shattered the sword light that was like a shooting star, bypassing the storm and heading straight for Chen Zong.
The blade cut through the air, and the fifth level earth spirit realm cultivator felt the world in front of his eyes quickly descend into darkness. He couldn't even see his own fingers when he stretched out his hand. Suddenly, a speck of starfire flickered, incomparably dazzling as it shot through the air like a shooting star.
When he realized that something was wrong, he was already a step too late.
He felt a pain between his brows, and then an intense pain burst forth in his mind. It was as fierce as a volcano erupting, unstoppable.
"How could he be so fast?"
Up until his death, the Skyscraper Society cultivator couldn't figure it out.
The aura emanating from his opponent was clearly only at the initial third level of the earth spirit realm. How could he pierce through the storm and lightning he'd unleashed with a single sword strike?
How could his sword be so fast that he couldn't dodge it?
"Using the void sword energy to kill a non-genius fifth level earth spirit realm cultivator with a single sword strike. Not bad." Chen Zong thought to himself. His figure flashed, and he appeared beside the corpse of the fifth level earth spirit realm cultivator. He drew out his sword and chopped the corpse into several pieces, and also took away the mid-grade spirit blade and mustard seed bag.
Even on the Blue Waves Continent, Void Rings were rare, and mustard seed bags were the mainstream.
Chen Zong quickly opened the mustard seed bag and checked it. Soon after, a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
Spirit gold mine!
Two spirit gold mines the size of half a human head. Although he didn't know how much spirit gold could be extracted from them, they were still spirit gold mines.
At this point, Chen Zong had seven spirit gold mines of different sizes.
"Three months, or perhaps even less than three months. I wonder how many spirit gold mines can I obtain?" Chen Zong couldn't help but secretly guess.
After all, he didn't have a better way to find spirit gold mines, so he could only wander around and try his luck. Fortunately, his luck was not bad, and he didn't end up empty-handed.
"This secret territory was first discovered by the ancient Mingjian Sect. The Mingjian Sect entered to develop and mine spirit gold mines. They must have built a base here. If I can find the base left behind by the Mingjian Sect, perhaps I can find something." Chen Zong suddenly thought.
Perhaps he could find the spirit gold mines left behind by the Mingjian Sect in their base.
Of course, he wasn't sure if there was really a spirit gold mine left behind, but there was still hope.
Perhaps he was really lucky. After about four hours, Chen Zong, who had rested and continued on his way, saw the outline of a building in the distance.
The building occupied an area of several thousand meters. Most of it had already collapsed, but he could see the original outline of the building. It was square and quite simple. As for whether it was the base left behind by the Mingjian Sect, he wasn't sure.
Stepping out, Chen Zong appeared in the middle of the collapsed building. His consciousness spread out, like an invisible net, enveloping the entire building.
Chen Zong's spiritual sense was like a pair of eyes, looking at every part of the building in great detail. Unfortunately, Chen Zong didn't find anything of value.
"It seems that everything has been taken away." Thinking to himself, Chen Zong flashed away from the collapsed building and continued on his way.
The Spirit Gold Secret Territory was vast, not inferior to the Mingjian Continent in the slightest. Although the speed of the earth spirit realm was fast, it was still difficult to explore it in a short period of time. Plus, they had to find spirit gold mines, so it would undoubtedly take a long time.
There were quite a few earth spirit realm cultivators who entered the Spirit Gold Secret Territory. There were several hundred of them in total. However, these several hundred earth spirit realm cultivators were scattered in the vast Spirit Gold Secret Territory, so they were inconspicuous.
… …
"The map I obtained from a fortuitous encounter a few years ago can finally be put to good use." An earth spirit realm cultivator of the Nine Star Sky Sect stared at the collapsed palace in front of him. Looking at the words on the black plaque inserted into the palace, his face was full of smiles.
Then, with a flip of his hand, an irregular palm-sized piece of white jade appeared in his hand. There were some red dots and words on it, as well as a map and directions.
The words next to one of the red dots indicated that it was the Golden Sword Hall. It was the same as the words on the plaque inserted into the ground.
"The northwest direction is this direction." The middle-aged man looked around and compared the surroundings with the white jade map in his hand. The words marked by the red dot at the end of the map were the words "spirit gold mine."
Speaking of which, he had obtained this outside a few years ago. He had thought that it was useless, so he had casually put it in his mustard seed bag. Today, when he saw the words "Golden Sword Hall", he immediately thought of this piece of white jade. Taking it out and comparing it, it was very likely to be here.
Of course, it was also possible that it had nothing to do with this place.
However, according to his intuition, the possibility of it being related was very high.
He was about to find a spirit gold mine. This kind of anticipation made his heart beat faster and he was very excited.
… …
On the barren land, a stalwart figure stood tall, as if he had become one with the earth. He was the center of this land.
Suddenly, the stalwart figure opened his eyes. A trace of domineering light shot out, and an astonishing aura swept out violently, filling the heavens and earth.
Between the flying sand and rolling stones, cracks were everywhere.
"Hahahaha, the spirit gold mine is mine." The stalwart figure let out a loud and domineering laugh that resounded through the heavens and earth.
Just now, he had encountered an evil spirit that had tried to invade his body. Little did he know that his cultivation was strong, and his spiritual sense was even more condensed due to his fortuitous encounters in his early years. Not only had he resisted the evil spirit's invasion, he had also destroyed it.
After killing the evil spirit, he had absorbed a bit of spirit, which made his spiritual sense slightly stronger. It was insignificant, but the biggest gain was the memory fragments contained in the spirit.
One of the memory fragments was directly related to the spirit gold mine. It indicated that there was a spirit gold mine in a certain direction that had not been completely mined.
With a thump, the stalwart figure had already left the place and appeared thousands of meters away. Only a deep footprint was left behind. The footprint was surrounded by cracks, and it was a shocking sight.
With another 'dong' sound, like the beating of a giant drum, the figure once again appeared thousands of meters away. His speed was so fast that it was shocking.
Like a bouncing star, in the blink of an eye, the stalwart figure turned into a small black dot and flashed again, disappearing into the distance.
