Chapter 2270: The Mysterious Rock Two (2/2)

Jian Chen suddenly looked at the swamp below him, and after a moment of hesitation, he dived in.

A layer of milky-white light formed a white, airtight barrier around him. The water and mud around him were pushed aside by Radiant Saint Force along the way, allowing Jian Chen to dive in.

As he dived deeper and deeper, Jian Chen became more and more astonished. The swamp was far deeper than he had imagined it to be. He felt that he had dived several dozen kilometres at the very least, but he still had not reached the bottom.

The ordinary swamp seemed to lead straight into the ground.

And the deeper he dived, the greater the pressure in the surroundings became. In the end, Jian Chen was unable to keep up the barrier with Radiant Saint Force alone, so he just dispersed all the Radiant Saint Force. He did not use any energy at all, using his body to endure the pressure from the depths.

In the end, after who knows how long, Jian Chen dived several tens of thousand kilometres and finally hit solid ground. He arrived at the very depths of the swamp.

There was a layer of extremely tough rock at the bottom of the swamp. Jian Chen sensed around with his soul and finally found the thing responsible for the mysterious presence.

It was actually a rock four feet wide.

Jian Chen expanded the senses of his soul in an attempt to investigate the contents of the rock. However, to his surprise, the senses of his soul told him the rock that was clearly right in front of him did not exist.

“It can only be discovered with the naked eye. This rock is not simple,” Jian Chen rubbed the rock gently. Afterwards, he shot out a strand of sword Qi from his fingertip, scraping off a thin layer of powder from the surface of the rock. Afterwards, he took out the divine hall from his Space Ring and spread the powder on it. He thought, “This powder should be able to conceal the divine hall and prevent people from finding it with the senses of their souls.”

Very soon, the tiny divine hall was covered with a thick layer of powder. Afterwards, with a thought, Jian Chen vanished along with the rock. Only the divine hall covered in rock powder stood at the bottom of the swamp quietly.

Jian Chen silently appeared within the divine hall with the rock. He cleaned off the dust around the rock and began to study it carefully.

The rock was cubical, four feet in length, width, and depth. It was dark red and extremely tough. Even with Jian Chen’s current strength, he was unable to shatter it.

From the surface, it seemed ordinary. Apart from being tough and undetectable with the senses of the soul, it did not stand out in any way. It did not even give off any pulses of energy.

However, Jian Chen was able to discover slivers of extremely obscure and mysterious presences radiating from the rock thanks to the extraordinary senses of his soul.

He believed that no one else aside from himself could sense this presence. That even included the peak experts.

“Hei Ya, do you recognise this?” Jian Chen called Hei Ya over to identify the rock.

But very soon, Hei Ya shook his head. He had never seen or heard of a wondrous rock like this.

Jian Chen stared at the rock in thought for a while before making up his mind in the end. Sword Qi flashed from the tip of his finger as he cut off a thin layer of rock with quite the effort. He studied it carefully in his hand.
