"A barrier?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

To the naked eye, there was clearly no obstruction in the field of vision ahead, yet a barrier existed.

The fact that the barrier has survived to this day indicates that there were top-tier experts here in ancient times.

"The barrier isn't strong; my attacks can pass through it, but once they do, they lose contact with me. Perhaps that's why those drones can't continue probing forward."

Ren Ke had been adjusting the oscillating light arrow to detect anomalies within a kilometer radius throughout the journey, which is why he was able to discover them immediately.

She tried twice more to confirm that the barrier had no power to retaliate before she felt relieved.

"Go in."

Chen Lin said.

Ren Ke glanced at him and Zheng Yue and nodded.

"Okay, let's go in and take a look."

Chen Lin immediately ordered the Jin army to continue their advance.

hum...

As they passed through the barrier, the concentration of spiritual energy suddenly increased two or three times.

The golden-haired giant let out an excited cry and began to absorb spiritual energy.

The others also clearly sensed the difference.

Zheng Yue said in a low voice, "There seems to be something inside this barrier that makes the spiritual energy much denser than outside."

"What is it?" Ren Ke asked instinctively.

"Over there," Zheng Yue pointed to the right front.

"Okay, let's go over there."

As Ren Ke spoke, he used the Yao Guang Arrow to probe the area.

A few minutes later, Da Jin landed on a high peak with three black eagles.

"The spiritual energy is so rich, it's more than five times stronger than on Earth."

Zhao Minghui said somewhat excitedly.

Several people were already silently practicing their cultivation techniques, with at least five times the concentration of spiritual energy, which could increase their cultivation speed by ten times or even more.

"Is this a spiritual vein?"

Ren Ke looked at Zheng Yue.

"I...I don't really understand."

Zheng Yue shook her head and replied somewhat hesitantly.

She only sensed the abnormal spiritual energy here by relying on the power of Guanghan Tingxue.

As someone who had just begun her journey through hardship, she couldn't possibly know the specifics of the situation.

Ren Ke said, "I'll go down and take a look."

She sat cross-legged on the ground, her divine power surging around her. The Yao Guang Arrow suddenly transformed into a beam of ice-blue light, piercing through layers of soil and heading straight for the core of the mountain.

In less than ten breaths, Ren Ke groaned, his face turned pale, and his hands quickly formed hand seals.

The next moment, the Yao Guang Arrow flew back.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xinran looked worried.

Ren Ke opened her eyes, her expression weak. "It is a spiritual vein, but it isn't."

"What do you mean?" Li Xinran looked at her, puzzled.

"This is no ordinary spirit stone vein; it is a source vein."

Ren Ke's tone was unusually serious, and his expression was solemn.

Upon hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes.

"Are you sure it's a source vein?"

That's a source mineral vein, the universal currency of the Tianheng Continent, something every cultivator needs for their cultivation.

Source stones contain the essence of life and the laws of heaven and earth, making them far superior to spirit stones.

If they possess a large amount of Origin Stones, they can raise their cultivation level to the Dao Palace Realm or even the Four Extremes Realm before their return in the shortest possible time.

This is Blue Star, and there are no other powerful beings vying for it; it belongs entirely to them.

Excitement rippled through the surroundings.

"Calm down, everyone. This source mineral vein is not something we can get our hands on."

Ren Ke spoke coldly.

Everyone was immediately stunned.

That's right, the source veins aren't something that novice cultivators like them can mine.

The Originium they saw had all been mined and posed no danger.

Rumor has it that the source vein may harbor powerful and ominous forces that cannot be suppressed by anything other than top-tier sects and holy lands.

A bucket of cold water extinguished everyone's enthusiasm.

"Director Ren, have you figured out if what's underneath is a regular mineral vein or something else?"

Qu Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Unable to investigate clearly."

Ren Ke shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

She had only touched the mineral vein below when she was assaulted by countless chaotic energy streams and had to retreat hastily.

She still hasn't figured out what's in that vein.

There seemed to be living creatures inside, but what kind of bizarre existence would a living creature in a mineral vein be?

She didn't say anything that would cause panic among the crowd, but her expression grew even more somber.

When Chen Lin heard her mention the source mineral vein, he was also surprised and ordered the Life and Death Ranking to investigate.

This investigation surprised him even more.

There is a seal below.

A divine source seal was formed, and source mineral veins gradually formed around it.

Divine Source...

Chen Lin had come into contact with it, but not much; even within the Yin-Yang Holy Land, the amount stored was not large.

The being that can be sealed with divine power is not someone I can afford to offend with my current cultivation level.

Even with the Life and Death Ranking, a top-tier sacred weapon, Chen Lin was not confident.

He was worried that the other party would reveal an even more ruthless trump card.

"Let's leave here."

Chen Lin said to Ren Ke in a low voice.

Ren Ke felt a chill run down her spine.

Does Chen Lin's statement mean he has discovered something?

Yes, his natal weapon is very mysterious, and perhaps it has revealed something he didn't know.

"Let's leave here."

Ren Ke made a quick decision and ordered everyone to leave on the black eagle.

Some people are unwilling to accept this.

"That's a source vein. If we can mine some, it will be of great benefit to our cultivation recovery."

"Yes, even if it's just a few pieces, it's enough for us to expand the Sea of ​​Suffering to its fullest extent."

Ren Ke simply replied, "If you want to mine, I can leave you there, but your fate afterward is your own responsibility."

Now, no one spoke.

They also noticed Ren Ke's emotional changes.

In silence, another two hundred kilometers passed.

Chen Lin instructed Da Jin to land and rest.

The tense atmosphere among the crowd also dissipated considerably.

"We haven't encountered many spirit beasts along the way."

Li Xinran stood on the mountaintop, looking around.

Others were also observing the entire space.

The general environment within the folded space is somewhat similar to that of Earth after the spiritual energy has been restored.

However, the plants and animals in this space evolved faster than those on Earth.

Moreover, the space here is truly enormous.

This folded space alone is as large as the Great Xia Dynasty before its spiritual energy was restored.

"How can there be such a large mountain range on Earth?"

Qu Feng asked, puzzled.

Zhao Minghui glanced at him and said, "Maybe it was sealed by a powerful being in ancient times. Don't forget, Earth is expanding now."

The two of them already possessed a similar sharpness, likely due to their practice of the sword techniques they had acquired from Wanhua Mountain.

This also shows that they didn't have anything good on them before they returned. Even though their natal weapon was a sword, their cultivation techniques weren't very good either.

The Earth is expanding, or rather, it is reverting to its ancient landscape.

Everyone present agreed with this statement.

After a brief rest, the group continued their journey.

On Da Jin's back, Ren Ke finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Chen Lin, what did you find at the foot of that mountain?"

Zheng Yue also looked over curiously.

She had asked Guanghan Tingxue at that time, but it only said to listen to Chen Lin and not to linger in that area.

This made Zheng Yue realize the danger.

After all, Guanghan Tingxue is a king-level divine weapon. It wouldn't be so low-key unless there was a danger of being killed by a king-level expert or higher.

Chen Lin said with a hint of helplessness, "I don't know exactly what it is, but there is an aura of divine source beneath that mountain."

"As you said, that's not something we can get our hands on."

"Just a little bit of misfortune could bring annihilation to the entire Great Xia Dynasty."

"Unless you possess the cultivation level of a Dao-Slaying King, perhaps you could give it a try."

Ren Ke's face turned pale instantly upon hearing this.

She understood better than anyone else present what the Divine Source represented.

No wonder there's a mineral vein there.
