Everlasting Chapter 100: Two Sages (1/2)

Next, light flashed out before Chen Feng as a Magic crystal the size of a building appeared before him. There was not a single trace of impurity within the Magic crystal. Rather, it was crystal clear, radiating a dazzling l.u.s.tre. With the exception of a mine, such a large block of Magic crystal would not appear elsewhere because no one would use such a large block of Magic crystal to purchase items.

”This big block of Magic crystal weighs at least hundreds of thousands of jin. If we cut it, we will be able to cut out at least 1 million pieces!” Chen Feng uttered in shock (1 jin = 0.5 kg).

After that, more big blocks of Magic crystals fell into the Longevity Tower. Some weighed up to tens of jin, some thousands of jin and some other at over ten thousand jin. However, none of them were as large as the earlier one. Additionally, some of them contained some rocky impurities. Chen Feng will have to slowly cut and grind out those impurities himself in the future.

”This should be a small Magic crystal mine. How can there be so many Magic crystals?” Seeing the mountain-like pile of Magic crystal ores, Chen Feng felt slightly astounded.

”Ha ha, what great fortune! This should be a small to medium-sized Magic crystal mine. The Magic crystals within it adds up to several billion pieces! It seems Nine Firmaments Palace did not get an accurate information about this mine. If they did, they would have sent a Sky Human stage cultivator here long ago,” said Tower happily.

”Several billions! Hurry up and absorb all the Magic crystals here! With so many Magic crystals, how far up can my cultivation base rise up to?” Chen Feng shouted in glee.

”I have already absorbed half of the Magic crystals here. Although there should still be some good stuffs underground, it is high time we left. If not, should a group of Sky Human stage cultivators surround us, we will be in quite the pickle.” As Tower spoke, another hundreds of thousands of Magic crystals had their energy absorbed, turning into powder as a result. He was presently absorbing hundreds of thousands of Magic crystals in one breath's worth of time. If Tower could continue for one joss stick's worth of time, the entire Magic crystal mine would be completely absorbed.

Unbeknownst to Chen Feng, at that very moment, the entire Purplebolt Mountain had disappeared. Only flat lands remained of the mountain. Earlier, several Sky Human stage cultivators had arrived and their battle broke the st.u.r.dy Purplebolt Mountain into smithereens. Thus, the Magic crystal mine beneath it had become exposed.

Although there were so many Magic crystal ores before their very eyes, not a single loose cultivator dared to rush forward to s.n.a.t.c.h them. The reinforcements from Nine Firmaments Palace and Purplecloud Sky Grotto had arrived. The cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace had killed off those loose cultivators and masked cultivators attempting to plunder the burning house.

This time, Nine Firmaments Palace had sent forth five cultivators. Two of them were sages, cultivators at the Sky Human stage. As for the other three, they were all elite disciples who could develop revolving domains.

Forget the might of these cultivators, even the name of Nine Firmaments Palace alone was enough to shock off the invading loose cultivators. That was especially true considering the ruthless actions taken by the cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace. The moment they arrived, they had killed off every single one of the loose cultivators there, blowing up their bodies in the process. Seeing that, the rest of the invaders who had been concealing themselves while waiting for an opportune moment to act went quiet. In the Northern Plains, provoking the Nine Firmaments Palace was the equivalent of committing suicide.

Purplecloud Sky Grotto's Sect Master, Liu Dianfeng had also arrived. He displayed an extremely deferential att.i.tude as he followed behind the five cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace. There was not a trace of the dignity that a Sect Master should have. In fact, he looked like an ordinary disciple from Nine Firmaments Palace.

”Humph! Liu Dianfeng, looking at the size of this Magic crystal mine, it should have at least several billion Magic crystals. Why did you not report this matter truthfully?” one of the cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace, a white-faced fellow without any facial hair, asked harshly. A strand of aura spread out from his body and Liu Dianfeng immediately felt as though his body had been pierced through and a chilling sensation ran across his whole body.

”Sir Sage, junior did not know about this. Our cultivation base is shallow after all and we were incapable of probing the depth of this mine. Please dole out the punishment,” said Liu Dianfeng nervously.

”Sage Astral Thunder, what do you think?” The sage, Sage First Origin, suddenly asked.

”Even if Purplecloud Sky Grotto's Sect Master failed to contribute, he did his best. We cannot blame him for this. For now, we should deal with the problem before us,” said a middle-aged cultivator who sported a thick beard. He was none other than Liu Yuntian's master, Sage Astral Thunder, one of the cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace.

”Just what kind of magic treasure is down there? It possesses such power. To be capable of absorbing hundreds of thousands of Magic crystals in one breath, it should be above the Prized artefact. Could it be a Sacred artefact?” Sage First Origin's face was solemn. The moment the two of them arrived, they had sensed Longevity Tower's aura. However, due to their feelings of vigilance, neither of them dared to attack.

”If it really is a Sacred artefact, we won't be enough to handle it.” Sage Astral Thunder's brows furrowed together.

Swoos.h.!.+

It was at that moment that the youngster who fought against Chen Feng's group earlier flew out from the hole leading into the mine.

”Greetings, Sir Sages, fellow senior brothers!” shouted the youngster the moment he came forward.

”Liu Mu, what is going on underground?” asked Sage First Origin.

”I do not know either. There is a magic treasure down there. It is a nine-level paG.o.da. It suddenly appeared earlier and is furiously absorbing the spiritual energy from the surrounding Magic crystals. I dared not get close to it earlier. However, there were plenty of cracks on the surface of the paG.o.da. It is probably a damaged magic treasure. Disciple speculates that it is absorbing the spiritual energy of the Magic crystals to restore its strength,” Liu Mu quickly answered.

”A damaged magic treasure!” Sage Astral Thunder and Sage First Origin exchanged glances. A pa.s.sionate look flashed across their eyes. Clearly, they planned on taking action.
