I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2037 The truth comes out
"Okay, let's talk." Liu Jun still held the Dark Sword tightly in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the mysterious wall.

"Do you dare to put down this sword first?" The words on the wall appeared again, with a hint of helplessness between the lines.

Liu Jun sneered and remained unmoved: "Don't talk nonsense, I ask you questions and you answer them."

"You're awesome! Just ask!" The words on the wall were updated again, and this time even the punctuation marks were complete.

Liu Jun asked directly: "Who did this?"

The wall was silent for a moment, and then a line of words slowly emerged: "I can't answer. I can't afford to offend that person."

Liu Jun frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer, and decided to change the way of asking. "Okay, I won't force you, let's change the way. Have you seen this person? If you have, just put a period, if you haven't, just say you haven't seen him." As he said that, he took out a portrait and showed it to the wall.

The person in the portrait was his master Qingfengzi, an old man who always had a strange smile on his face.

This time the wall did not respond immediately, but instead an ellipsis appeared.

Liu Jun couldn't help but complain: "Hehe, this old man is quite good at playing."

From the moment he entered Haiyan and saw the Chinese pinyin, he felt that this must have been done by the old man Qingfengzi.

As expected, only his stupid master could come up with these things.

But he didn't quite understand why they had to go through all this trouble? Why did they go to so much trouble to make him wear a tight headband? And this tight headband seemed to only serve to establish a contract with the little divine whale.

Liu Jun took a deep breath and decided to continue asking: "Since you have seen him, where did he go? Tell me, I won't embarrass you."

The words on the wall appeared again, this time more slowly, as if weighing the pros and cons: "He...went to a place you can't imagine. There, it is the junction of life and death, the edge of reality and fantasy."

"The boundary between life and death? The edge of reality and fantasy?" Liu Jun frowned and began to ponder this sentence.

"Well, if you have finished asking questions, just leave here." The words on the wall changed again, and before Liu Jun could figure it out, they began to urge Liu Jun to leave.

"There is one last question. If we put the Dinghai stick here, can it suppress the volcano in the trench?" Liu Jun glanced at the Dinghai stick and asked after hesitating for a few seconds.

The wall was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to answer this crucial question. Finally, it slowly responded: "Of course not."

Liu Jun's face instantly turned gloomy, like a sky covered with dark clouds. An indescribable anger surged in his heart. He had spent so much effort and gone through so much hardship to get this Dinghai Stick here, but now he was told that it was all useless? Isn't this denying the fruits of his labor!

The wall seemed to sense Liu Jun's anger, and a long string of words immediately appeared on it, as if explaining the reason for all this.

Words slowly emerged: "You can think of this Dinghai Stick as a key. The formation that suppressed the trench volcano was destroyed, and the key to activate the formation was lost, which led to the unstable eruption of the volcano. Some time ago, someone repaired the formation, so now the formation can be activated without a key. You can take the stick."

Liu Jun's heart was shocked, and he understood that although the Dinghai Stick was the key to the formation, it was also used to guide him to repair the formation.

It's just that someone has already done all of this, and this person is most likely his master. So the current formation no longer needs this key.

In fact, without the wall, Liu Jun could sense the presence of a huge formation. This formation was powerful and mysterious, as if it contained infinite power. With his talent for formations, he knew that the complexity and sophistication of this formation was far beyond his reach. He stood here and felt the power of the formation flowing around him, as if the entire trench was enveloped by this power.

With this level of formation, he could only barely repair it.

Liu Jun took a deep breath and looked at the Dinghai stick again. He knew that the stick had completed its mission and he could leave with it now. He reached out and gently grasped the Dinghai stick, feeling its cold touch.

"By the way, let me ask you another question. Are there any treasures here? Or do you know where there are treasures in this sea trench?" Liu Jun's eyes fell on the wall again.

Adhering to the principle of "I can't go back empty-handed after coming here", he decided to bring back some "local specialties"

The wall was silent for a moment, and then a line of words appeared on it: "You are really embarrassing the wall."

Liu Jun raised his eyebrows, obviously not satisfied with the wall's answer. He continued to ask: "Just tell me whether there is one or not?"

The wall was silent again. After a few seconds, two words appeared: "No."

Liu Jun did not give up. He slowly pulled out the dark sword that emitted a cold light from the storage space, pointed the tip of the sword directly at the wall, and said with a hint of threat in his tone: "I'll give you one more chance."

The wall seemed to feel Liu Jun's pressure. After a few seconds of silence, a line of words finally appeared: "Let your little divine whale take you to the largest volcano, the place with the most abundant fire spirit energy. There are valuable things there. Goodbye, I won't see you off."

As soon as he finished speaking, the writing on the wall gradually disappeared, and it returned to being an ordinary wall. Liu Jun raised his lips slightly, revealing a smug smile: "Oh, I said that such a big place can't be without some valuables."

He put away the Dark Sword, turned around and patted the little divine whale on the head, signaling it to lead the way. The little divine whale let out a brisk cry and then swam in a certain direction.

Not long after Liu Jun left, a vague figure suddenly appeared on the wall. The figure quietly stared at the direction where Liu Jun left, as if thinking about something. After a moment, the figure slowly dissipated, and the wall returned to calm again, as if nothing had happened.

Half an hour had passed, and Liu Jun, the eldest prince, and Senior Sabella were standing near the crater of a volcano.

Liu Jun looked around, looking for the "valuable things" mentioned on the wall.

"There is something here indeed." Liu Jun's eyes finally stopped at a piece of ore that was emitting a faint red light. He walked forward, picked it up carefully, and felt the powerful energy contained in the ore.

"This is Fire Ling Stone, which is slightly more expensive than Gold Ling Stone. Its unique color and texture make it famous in the mineral world. Top-quality Fire Ling Stone like this is extremely popular in the market. One piece is enough to exchange for about five thousand Divine Coins, so its value can be seen." Senior Sabella was also picking up a piece of Fire Ling Stone at this moment, and patiently explained to Liu Jun.

Senior Sabella recalled that when he was a child, the frequency of volcanic eruptions was far less frequent than it is now, and the Great Ocean Trench was relatively calm. At that time, he often followed the elders in his family into the Great Ocean Trench to explore for mineral deposits. In those days, they collected countless kinds of minerals, including this kind of fire stone. But the number of fire stones was very small at that time, and every discovery was as exciting as finding a treasure.

Hearing that this ore is so valuable and looking at the ocean of fire stone in front of him, Liu Jun was already extremely excited.

Although the fire rocks near him were not dense enough to cover the sky, the number of several thousand was enough to make people stunned. Moreover, he could clearly feel that they were only at the periphery of this large volcano. The further in, the denser the fire rocks became, as if they were endless.

As expected, as they continued to go deeper and closer to the interior of the volcano, there were more and more fire stones around them. They were dotted like stars under their feet, above their heads, and around them, decorating this space like a dreamy gem storehouse. Moreover, the quality of these fire stones was undoubtedly much better than those they saw on the periphery. Each piece was crystal clear and exuded a charming luster, as if it was the most proud masterpiece of nature.

"Yes, they are all top quality." Senior Sabella looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but give a heartfelt admiration.

"Come on, let's start digging!" Liu Jun's voice was full of excitement, as if he had already seen the mountains of divine coins waving to them.

But after Liu Jun dug a few pieces, he discovered that the eldest prince and Senior Sabella were standing there, motionless, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

"What's going on? Digging? Why are you standing there?" Liu Jun frowned, obviously puzzled by the abnormality of the two people in front of him.

Senior Sabella shook his head slowly, his eyes revealing a trace of awe and caution. "Your Highness, we can't move. It is rumored that the ore on the periphery of this sea trench is a gift to our sea beasts, and the ore in the deep has an owner."

The eldest prince stood aside with a complicated look in his eyes, and then he slowly said: "Now it seems that the owner of these Fire Ling Stones should be you."

Liu Jun was stunned when he heard this, then he curled his lips and said, "What? What master or not? Hurry up and dig."

Although he was usually stingy, he also knew that whoever saw it should get a share, and he would definitely not keep it all to himself. He was already thinking about how to share these Fire Ling Stones with the sea beasts.

However, just as he was about to make a move, the little ancient divine whale suddenly swung its tail and opened its mouth. Liu Jun, the eldest prince, and Senior Sabella were all startled by this sudden action, and before they could react, a strong airflow appeared.

Under the influence of this airflow, the Fire Stones actually flew up, drawing beautiful arcs in the air, and then flew into the mouth of the little divine whale. Liu Jun stared at all this in amazement, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.

"What's going on?" Liu Jun asked stutteringly, his eyes moving back and forth between the Little Whale and Senior Sabella, trying to find the answer.

Senior Sabella looked at Liu Jun deeply, his eyes full of complicated emotions. "It seems that the little ancient divine whale has signed some kind of contract with you, and these fire stones are probably its gift to you."

Sure enough, the young divine whale's childish voice then rang in Liu Jun's mind, "Yellow man, yellow man, I swallowed it all into my stomach. When you want it, I'll spit it out for you."

"Okay, thank you." Liu Jun patted the little divine whale's head gently.

With the help of the little divine whale, in just a moment, the hot and precious fire stones in the big volcano were swept away, as if they had never existed, and were all swallowed up by the little divine whale's stomach that seemed to be able to accommodate everything. After completing this feat, the little divine whale mischievously burped, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly, making people have to sigh at its magical ability.

After witnessing this spectacle, Liu Jun and his companions were extremely shocked. They knew that the task of suppressing the volcano had been completed, and with these fire stones, it could be said that they had gained a lot. So, they began their journey home, preparing to return to At City.

Although this trench is deep, unfathomable and extremely dangerous, it is very easy to go up and down.

Senior Sabella, relying on his previous memories, brought Liu Jun and the eldest prince to an underwater fountain that looked like a fairyland. This fountain was very different from what you usually see. It did not spew out clear water, but a stream of powerful yet gentle power, like the breath of the sea, or a gift from nature.

The three of them stood on the underwater fountain, and felt a warm and powerful force surging from their feet, instantly enveloping them. In less than half an incense stick of time, this force quickly carried them to the top of the sea trench, at a speed so fast that it was astonishing. They seemed to have turned into three streams of light, shuttling through the sea, leaving brilliant trails wherever they passed.

Finally, driven by this force, they successfully broke out of the trench.

It's just because this force is uncontrollable, so it rushed directly to the sea surface. But it doesn't matter. It will be much easier to go to At City from the sea.
