Chapter 526: Won’t Give in Yet

Xue Ying looked through the rest of the mansion alongside Jing Qiu, but they did not discover anything else. They soon decided to just leave the place.

Hua.

Leaving through the main entrance, they found themselves back in the great valley. All of a sudden, a great amount of light suddenly appeared around Xue Ying’s figure. This was none other than his luminous sun force which had begun spreading out. It quickly covered this entire five thousand kilometers wide meteorite.

“Find anything?” Jing Qiu asked.

“The surface of this meteorite has many signs of cracks, but most of them aren faint. There are only eight spots with more distinct cracks.” Xue Ying laughed. “Let’s go check them out. Maybe we can peel off some Calamity Stone Essence from one of the eight spots.”

In a few steps, both husband and wife had already arrived at a specific location on the surface of the meteorite. Here, they saw a rocky portion of the surface that was almost split open, leaving behind strands of debris.

“This crack here is the biggest one, and an entire rock has almost fallen apart completely.” Xue Ying chuckled. “This particular meteorite hasn’t been visited by any cultivators in a long time. That’s the only way we got to discover this place.”

“Let me give it a try.” Having said this, Jing Qiu pointed out her finger.

Xiu.

A strand of sword light shot out forming a total of nine thin swords. This was none other than Jing Qiu’s personal blood-refined Deity warrior. These thin swords exuded terrifying might as they smashed right into the most critical section of the crack. At the realm the couple was currently at, their could over their strength was nigh perfect. Be it on this Calamity Stone Essence or on any other mysterious objects inside of this watery environment, if they were to just blindly use their force, perhaps only 1% would prove effective.

It was only when they sent out their strength through their comprehension of the realm that the efficiency would increase.

Dang dang dang~ Continuous clashing sounds could now be heard coming from the crack. The rock was clearly on the very verge of falling off, with only the smallest part still connected it to the meteorite. Even so, the attack was only able to leave it trembling for a while without actually breaking it off. Their plan wasn’t even to destroy the Calamity Rock Essence itself. They simply wanted to send some force through the cracks in, but even Jing Qiu, in spite of her status as a stage four World Deity expert, was unable to break the fragment apart. She had even used her blood-refined Deity warrior in the previous attempt.

“I can’t believe it. Let me give it another go.” Jing Qiu focused even harder on her second attempt, merging the nine thin swords into a single sword array that floated in mid-air.

“Haha, take your time,” Xue Ying said from the side as he snickered. His wife was indeed quite competitive.

Hong!

The nine thin swords suddenly shot out in the form of a strand of resplendent sword light. It moved in a flash so that only the arc of its movement was visible by the time it clashed against the rock. The rock shook once more before that single part keeping it attached broke completely, leaving the rock to fall to the side.

“Success!” Xue Ying immediately praised her.

Jing Qiu extended her hand, causing the piece of Calamity Rock Essence to fly into her hands. She felt it for a second before she finally threw it in Xue Ying’s direction. “You can keep it.”

“You’re giving it to me?” Xue Ying was startled.

“This is the most valuable thing I’ve ever found, and I want you to have it as a gift.” Jing Qiu giggled.

Xue Ying grabbed the fragment of Calamity Rock Essence. As he felt it over, he gave a nod. “It weighs roughly six kilograms, so I can see how it would be the most valuable thing you’ve found.” This single rock was worth about seven to eight hundred million Deity crystals, a value comparable to the entire accumulated wealth of a newly-emerged stage four World Deity. Of course, some of the stronger stage three World Deities who had lived for a longer period of time might also have been able to earn such a sum.

Even greedier figures like the Venomous Ying World Deity would fear to covet such a huge amount.

“Let’s go check out the next crack, then.” Jing Qiu was relatively happy. Essentially stumbling across such a huge sum of money was bound to make anyone happy.

…

The two then teamed up to break apart some rocks in one more location. When it came to this second fragment, they only managed to separate it once after launching a joint attack on the weak spot. As for the other six more distinct cracks, they had failed to break a fragment off regardless of how they went about it.

Even then, these two rocks alone reached a combined weight of ten kilograms.

“These Lake Heart Island ruins are, indeed, something different. We’ve had some pretty huge gains before we even reached the island itself,” Jing Qiu said.

“We could only gain this much because we were lucky enough to land on this specific meteor with the abode where the senior left behind a notice to inform us of this matter. Otherwise, we might have never discovered this secret,” Xue Ying said. Very few people were aware of this information. This was primarily because there just were not that many people who would dare to venture into the Lake Heart Island, while the number of people who just happened to land on a meteorite was even smaller.

After all, the enormous silvery-white sphere of water which enveloped Lake Heart Island had a diameter of 9.45 trillion kilometers. Even with a hundred million meteorites inside, when they were scattered all throughout such a large space, they became rather hard to find.

Of course, Xue Ying himself had no intention of publicizing this matter either. He was not so foolish as to lose such an opportunity. The myriad existences of the world all followed a cycle of the laws, so anyone who hoped to obtain something would have to pay an equivalent price.

Hu.

The two continued walking along the surface of the meteorite, crossing through many huge valleys.
