Lu Chen waved away his complicated emotions and calmed himself down. His gaze once again fell on the messy rocks.At the same time, he withdrew his hand from Lin Siyun"s back and walked step by step toward the pile of rubble.
Honestly speaking, no matter how you looked at it, it was not worth mentioning. It was very easy for people to ignore it.
However, the more it was like this, the more people looked forward to it.
Furthermore, now that they were so close, even with Lu Chen"s own perception, he could faintly feel that this was where the pure spiritual energy was being released from.
Standing in front of the pile of rubble for a full ten seconds, Lu Chen realized, actually, even with careful observation, that there was something different about this place.
The closer they got to the cliff, the darker the color became.Of course, it was still like that. If it weren"t for Lin Siyun"s talent and goals, these details wouldn"t have been discovered so easily.
Lu Chen squatted down and stretched out his palm to touch these rocks, trying to find some clues.
Without the little fox"s help, he wasn"t able to think of a better plan in that short amount of time.Fortunately, he still had the power of karmic virtue. Since he was close enough to touch him, he could at least discover a little bit of it.
However, even after Lu Chen had touched it for the better part of a day, he still couldn"t find anything.
It was as if there was an invisible force obstructing his search, rendering his efforts useless.
At the start, a thought flashed through his mind. Could it be that the little fox had, for some special reason, made a move in the dark?But when he thought about it again, he felt that it was a bit unreasonable.
After all, the matter of finding these mines was originally the little fox"s own initiative.
Even if the little fox didn"t help out for some special reason, it shouldn"t have done so at this time, right?Suddenly, Lu Chen thought of a possibility.
Presumably, this place had already been excavated by someone long ago, so they had purposely left restrictions here.
Lu Chen, I can"t be naive enough to think that such a good thing has existed here for so many years, and that he was the only one who discovered it.Perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, or even decades ago, someone came and took away some top-grade Kunlun Jade that they needed.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt a sense of loss.
If that was the case, then his imagination of obtaining the Jade Marrow of Mount Kunlun would have already been taken by someone else.
However, this feeling only appeared for an instant before it vanished into thin air.Even if he didn"t have a top grade treasure like the Jade Marrow of the Kunlun Mountains, the other top-grade Jade of the Kunlun Mountains would be more than enough.
Lin Siyun and He Qian silently watched from the side.
Without Lu Chen"s instruction, they did not even have the thought of touching those stones.
He completely looked like he was following Lu Chen"s lead.
After playing around for nearly another minute, Lu Chen still had a look of not giving up and continued to search for clues.
At this moment, Lu Chen couldn"t help but curse at the little fox in his heart.
Although the little fox clearly heard it, it still turned a deaf ear and continued its cultivation.
Helpless, Lu Chen could only give up trying to goad her.He might as well do it himself and eat well.
He continued to move down along some of the protruding rocks, patiently touching them one by one.
The area of this pile of rubble was only five meters squared.
After touching the sixth stone, Lu Chen discovered something different.Right now, the rock he was touching seemed to be smoother than the other rocks.
Of course, Lu Chen had used his Spiritual Sense to sense the bottom of the rock that was stuck to the ground.
However, since it is different from the others, there must be something special about it.
Moreover, if there really was someone who had been here before, there might be some sort of special trap here.
Only hidden.
The mechanism was a more traditional method. Not only was it in the hands of the members of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, it was also in the hands of some ordinary people.However, the functions of mechanisms were sometimes much better than defensive barriers or formations.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, even though Spirit Formations or the formation itself possessed powerful defensive abilities, no matter what sort of method they used, they would still, in the end, produce special aura fluctuations.
No matter how well you hide them, these auras are still there.
If even the slightest bit of information was leaked, it was still possible to be caught by others and their exact location would be exposed.
Of course, there was also a rather important reason. As time pa.s.sed, no matter how strong a spirit formation or formation was, it would gradually weaken and become illusory.As long as the mechanism was constructed with a good enough material, it could theoretically be permanently.
Moreover, at this time, Lu Chen had such a thought.
Maybe the little fox said that it was only looking for the Jade Veins of Mount Kunlun because there was something hidden behind the pile of rocks.
After reaching this point, it would stay out of the way. It might have some sort of difficulties.For example, he had made a promise, even made an oath …
Therefore, Lu Chen was looking forward to what he could find in the future.
"You guys step back first!"
In order to avoid any unexpected danger, Lu Chen asked Lin Siyun and He Qian to take a few steps back.
On the other hand, Lu Chen remained rooted to the spot.
He exerted a little strength, and a powerful force slightly lifted the rock, causing a crack to appear between it and the ground.
However, no matter how much strength Lu Chen used, he was unable to move an inch.Lu Chen estimated that this rock was at most two tons.
With his current strength, if he were to go all out, he could even break free from the ground.
The more it was like this, the more convinced Lu Chen was that this unremarkable looking rock was not simple at all.
He once again used his Spiritual Sense to feel the bottom of the rock. Finally, he locked onto a protruding part of the rock.Although he could not figure out the mystery behind the bulge due to the invisible force blocking it, after hesitating for a while, he decided to use his right hand to feel the bulge through the crack in the rock.
Upon touching it, Lu Chen"s heart was filled with joy.It seemed to be active?
Calming himself down, Zhang Xuan circulated his zhenqi throughout his entire body, forming a protective shield. Then, he gently rotated it clockwise.
It moved!The palm-sized protrusion truly began to rotate.
Then, an incredible scene began to unfold.
Lu Chen discovered that the cliff next to him was actually trembling, causing the ground to shake slightly as if there was an earthquake.Soon after, a crack appeared on the cliff and began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than ten seconds, the crevice had spread to the size of a person.At the same time this sudden scene appeared, Lu Chen"s heart was filled with pleasant surprise. His eyes first scanned his surroundings.
At the same time, his Spiritual Sense was once again strengthened by the power of karmic virtue. It quickly spread out to ensure that there were no other people around.
