Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 505

Sun Wukong carefully put away the container containing the fragments of the Chaos Pearl, gently stroking its surface with his fingertips, feeling the still faint but not negligible energy fluctuations within.

He frowned slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice:

"The power of this fragment is more difficult to control than we imagined, and the sealing effect is not ideal."

Yang Jian stood to the side, his three-pointed double-edged sword slightly tilted, the silver runes on the blade swirling and quickly sketching a simple map in the air.

His gaze was calm, his fingers lightly tracing the map, his voice low and steady:
“The surrounding environment is not very safe. I have marked a few relatively secluded locations that can serve as temporary shelters.”

Nezha stood on the other side, the flame at the tip of his Fire-Tipped Spear flickering slightly, reflecting his slightly wary expression.

He glanced at the map, a confident smile playing on his lips:

“These places look alright, but I need to set up a warning array around them in case any reckless individuals try to cause trouble.”

As he spoke, he suddenly swung the fire-tipped spear in his hand, and the flames transformed into a blazing beam of light that struck the ground.

As the beam of light fell, a ring of complex runes suddenly appeared on the ground, instantly forming a powerful warning array.

Nezha's eyes held a hint of smugness:
"Now look what's happened, whoever comes here is doomed."

Yang Jian nodded slightly, and with a gentle turn of his three-pointed double-edged sword, the silver light on the blade spread rapidly, probing the surrounding energy fluctuations.

His gaze was focused, and his voice was deep:
"Among these locations, there is a hidden cave that is closest to us, and the energy fluctuations around it are relatively stable, making it suitable as a temporary foothold."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong glanced at the map and nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's go there first."

After he finished speaking, he gently placed his palm on the container containing the fragments of the Chaos Pearl, feeling the faint energy fluctuations within with his fingertips, his expression remaining calm:

"However, before I set off, I need to check the seal on the container one more time."

Yang Jian didn't say much. He tilted the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand slightly, and the silver light of the runes spread rapidly, probing the surrounding spatial fluctuations.

His gaze was fixed ahead, and his tone was calm:
"Time is of the essence, we must act as soon as possible."

Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear drew an arc in the air, its flames flickering slightly, and his tone carried a hint of impatience:
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!"

Sun Wukong ignored Nezha's urging, and gently ran his fingers over the runes on the container, sensing the faint energy fluctuations within.

His expression was focused, his fingertips trembled slightly, and his magic power was slowly injected into the runes, strengthening the stability of the seal.

After a moment, he withdrew his finger, his voice low and somber:

"The seal is temporarily secure, let's go."

The three quickly moved towards the cave. The air around them was filled with a faint spiritual energy from the earth's veins, and the stone walls on both sides of the passage faintly shimmered with the light of runes.

Sun Wukong walked at the front, holding the golden cudgel, with the light of celestial magic flowing around him, always on guard against any potential danger.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, his three-pointed double-edged sword slightly tilted, the silver light of the runes constantly probing the path ahead.

His gaze was calm, and his voice was deep:
"The energy fluctuations ahead are relatively stable, and no abnormalities have been detected."

Nezha walked at the back, the flames of his Fire-Tipped Spear flickering slightly, dispelling the gloomy atmosphere in the passage.

His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, and his tone carried a hint of wariness:
"Although there's nothing seriously wrong, we still need to be careful to avoid any unexpected setbacks."

A moment later, the three arrived at the hidden cave that Yang Jian had pointed out. The cave entrance was hidden by dense vines, and the surrounding energy fluctuations were extremely stable, making it indeed an ideal place to settle down.

With a gentle flick of his three-pointed double-edged sword, Yang Jian unleashed a burst of silver light from the blade, which parted the vines to reveal the entrance to the cave.

"This is it."

Yang Jian remained calm. After scanning the cave entrance and confirming that it was safe, he took the lead and entered the cave.

Sun Wukong followed closely behind. After entering the cave, he immediately placed the container containing the fragments of the Chaos Pearl on a flat stone platform, and gently ran his fingers over the runes to check the stability of the seal once again.

His expression was focused, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes:

"The environment here is much more stable than the Earth's core furnace, so perhaps we can stay here a little longer."

Nezha stood at the cave entrance, the flames of his Fire-Tipped Spear flickering slightly, reflecting a hint of confidence in his expression.

"With me guarding the cave entrance, you can focus on your research without worry. I will definitely not let those fools get close."

Yang Jian nodded slightly, and with a gentle turn of his three-pointed double-edged sword, the silver light of the runes quickly spread, setting up a defensive array around the cave.

His gaze was calm, and his tone was low:
"Although this place is relatively safe, we still cannot be careless."

Sun Wukong said nothing more, his gaze returning to the container, his fingers gently tracing the runes, sensing the faint energy fluctuations within.

His expression remained focused, his eyes carrying a hint of determination:
"In that case, let's hurry up and find a way to completely solve the problem of the fragments as soon as possible."

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, he began to observe carefully. He took out a magnifying glass from his waist. The glass was crystal clear and reflected the dim light inside the cave.

He carefully brought the magnifying glass close to the container, observing the subtle energy fluctuations around the fragment of the Chaos Pearl.

The container was made of some kind of special metal, with a dark luster, and was engraved with intricate runes that flickered slightly with the changes in energy fluctuations.

He moved the magnifying glass around, observing every detail of the runes, his brow furrowed as if he were deep in thought.

The cave was unusually quiet, with only the faint sound of Sun Wukong's breathing and the slight rustling of the magnifying glass against the container.

On the damp rocks of the cave walls, some unknown moss grew, and the air was filled with the smell of damp earth.

Yang Jian then went deeper into the cave to further explore its structure and geological conditions.

He held a three-pointed, double-edged knife, the tip of which lightly touched the cave wall, carefully sensing the hardness of the rock and the energy fluctuations.

He moved slowly along the cave wall, stopping every now and then. The runes on his three-pointed, double-edged sword shimmered with silver light, as if he were probing something.

His movements were cautious and meticulous, leaving no detail overlooked.

Deeper into the cave, the space gradually expanded, revealing a small stone platform upon which several oddly shaped stones were placed, emitting a faint light.

Yang Jian's gaze fell on the stones, his steps faltered slightly, and the tip of his three-pointed double-edged sword lightly touched the edge of the stone platform, the silver light of the runes shimmering faintly.

He bent down and carefully examined the surface of the stones, discovering that their shapes were irregular, yet they emitted a strange energy fluctuation.

He gently placed his fingers on the surface of the stone and felt a faint chill emanating from his fingertips, as if he were resonating with some kind of energy deep within the earth's veins.

“These stones…” Yang Jian muttered to himself, his brows furrowing slightly.

"It seems to be able to absorb and transform the earth's energy, which may be used to enhance the stability of the formation."

He quickly took out a piece of cloth from his pocket, carefully wrapped the stone, and put it into the cloth bag he carried with him.

His movements were gentle and focused, as if he were afraid of breaking these fragile stones.

The edges of the fabric shimmered slightly, and the silver light of the runes flowed between his fingertips, ensuring that the stone's energy would not leak out.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong remained standing beside the container, the magnifying glass tilted slightly, the light focused on a rune on the surface of the container.

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, and his fingers lightly traced the runes, sensing the subtle energy fluctuations within them.

"The energy fluctuations of this rune are somewhat abnormal..."

Sun Wukong murmured to himself, his brows furrowed.

"Especially in this location, the fluctuations are most concentrated."

He put away the magnifying glass and gently pressed his finger on the rune, trying to feel the flow of energy within it.

The surface of the container trembled slightly, and the lines of the runes flickered as if in response to his touch.

A glint of light flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, and he quickly took out a spirit stone from his pocket and placed it next to the rune.

The light from the spirit stone intertwined with the light from the runes, and the energy fluctuations gradually stabilized.

Sun Wukong's brows relaxed slightly, and he said in a low voice:
"This spirit stone can indeed enhance the stability of the runes, but it's not thorough enough."

He turned to look at Yang Jian, his voice steady and powerful:
"Yang Jian, have you found anything useful over there?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian quickly returned to Sun Wukong's side, took out the stones from his bag, and spoke calmly but with a hint of inquiry:
"These stones can absorb the energy of the earth's veins, and perhaps they can be used to adjust the energy flow of the runes."

Sun Wukong's gaze fell on the stone, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

He reached out and took a stone, gently stroking its surface with his fingers, feeling a faint chill and energy fluctuations within it.

He nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of approval:
“Yes, these stones are indeed useful.”

He turned and placed the stone next to the container, his fingers lightly tracing the runes, which then shimmered slightly.

A thoughtful look flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, and he said in a low voice:
"If we channel the energy of this stone into this rune, we might be able to suppress the power of the Chaos Bead fragment more effectively."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian quickly took out a jade tablet engraved with runes from his bosom and affixed it to the surface of the stone.

The silver light of the runes flowed rapidly, intertwining with the energy of the stone to form a stable energy cycle.

Sun Wukong gently pressed his fingers on the runes, sensing the change in energy within them, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes:
"Very good, the energy flow has stabilized."

Nezha stood at the cave entrance, the flames of his Fire-Tipped Spear flickering slightly, reflecting his somewhat impatient expression.

His gaze swept across the cave, his tone carrying a hint of urging:
"Have you finished your research? I still have to guard the cave entrance!"

Sun Wukong looked up at Nezha, his tone calm:

"Wait a little longer, we need to ensure that the container's energy is completely stable."

Nezha shrugged, the flames of his Fire-Tipped Spear dimming slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness:
"Alright, but you guys need to hurry, I don't want to linger here too long."

Sun Wukong didn't say much. His gaze returned to the container, and his fingers gently traced the runes, sensing the faint energy fluctuations within.

His expression was focused, and his eyes held a hint of determination:
"Next, we need to find a way to completely resolve the Chaos Pearl fragments as soon as possible."

Yang Jian nodded slightly, tilting the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand slightly, the silver light of the runes rapidly spreading as he probed the surrounding energy fluctuations.

His gaze was calm, and his tone was low:
"Although the energy deep within the earth's veins is powerful, it is extremely complex to control, so we must proceed with caution."

The three quickly packed their things, left the cave, and continued their journey deeper into the ley lines.

Sun Wukong held the container containing the fragments of the Chaos Pearl tightly in his hand, feeling the faint but still present energy fluctuations within it with his fingertips.

His gaze was piercing, and he said in a low voice:
"This time we must find a way to completely solve the problem."

Yang Jian followed beside him, his three-pointed, double-edged sword flashing silver light as he probed the path ahead.

His gaze was calm and focused, and his tone was low:

"The energy fluctuations ahead are relatively stable, but we must be cautious."

Nezha was at the end, the flame of his Fire-Tipped Spear flickering slightly, dispelling the gloomy atmosphere in the passage.

The three moved forward quickly. Faint ley line runes flickered on the rock walls on both sides of the passage, and a faint smell of sulfur filled the air.

With steady steps and unwavering gazes, they advanced toward their goal deep within the earth's veins.

After passing through a narrow passage, a huge underground cave suddenly appears before your eyes.

In the center of the cave, several stones emitting a strange light lay there quietly, their energy fluctuations so intense they were almost suffocating.

Yang Jian walked to the stone first, carefully reaching out his hand to feel the energy on its surface.

He frowned slightly and said in a low voice:

"The energy of these stones...is somehow connected to the fragments of the Chaos Pearl."

As he spoke, he gently tapped one of the stones with his three-pointed double-edged knife. The tip of the knife flashed with a dazzling silver light, and intricate patterns appeared on the surface of the stone.

A faint humming sound echoed within the cave, and the air was filled with an even stronger smell of sulfur. Fine cracks began to appear on the rock walls, clearly indicating that this stone contained enormous energy.

Yang Jian carefully put the stone, along with two other stones with similar energy fluctuations, into his Qiankun bag.

Sun Wukong's gaze was fixed on the Qiankun bag in Yang Jian's hand, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his tone carried a hint of caution:
"The energy of these stones resonates with the fragments of the Chaos Bead, so it seems they might come in handy at a crucial moment."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the container of the Chaos Pearl fragment, gently running his fingertips across the runes and feeling the faint energy fluctuations within.

Yang Jian put away his Qiankun bag, the blade of his three-pointed double-edged sword tilted slightly, and amidst the flowing silver light, his gaze was calm and focused:
"The energy of the stone is strong, but we need to guide it carefully, otherwise it may cause greater fluctuations."

Nezha lightly swung his Fire-Tipped Spear in the air, the flames flickering slightly, reflecting his slightly impatient expression:

"Now that we've found something useful, let's get moving and stop dawdling here!"
