65 Ore-seekers (2/2)

Of course, Songyue had also guessed that the ores which Yi Yun had given her were not considered much to him.

Yi Yun did not make any unnecessary explanations regarding how they addressed him as senior. All he said was, ”Follow me. I won't be able to escort you around all the time. I'll place you somewhere and, when the time comes, you will have to depend on yourself.”

Yi Yun had his own agenda. Bringing them around was inconvenient for him, but he did not find it right to abandon them. After all, he had killed Cang Gu. Without Cang Gu, these people could hardly survive in the Xuanyuan Dune.

”Senior Yi, Cang Gu had a disk array that's specially used to seek Chaos Ores. As long as one is mentally powerful enough, they will be able to operate the disk array as long as they know the formulations. However, such formulations are a secret of Taixia. We do not know them…” Songyue said wistfully.

Yi Yun's potency was undeniable, but seeking ores was not something through immense strength alone. The Xuanyuan Dune was just too huge. The Chaos Ores were scattered around it like gold in a desert. One needed special means to find them.

In the Chaos Heavens, there were specialized ore-seekers. They had all sorts of mystic arts and acquirement of these mystic arts depended on perception, experience, intuition, and mental strength. On the contrary, it had nothing to do with battle strength.

Cang Gu was only a low-leveled ore-seeker. At best, he could only find crude ores or refined ores. To find these ores with a disk array was considered neither a difficult or easy task.

The ore-seekers who could find xenomorphic ores were titled with Telluric Masters. They were people that all major factions would fight to rope in. Their standings were not lower than Crystal Refinement Masters!

”Is this it?” Yi Yun took out an unadorned disk array.

”Yes, that is Cang Gu's disk array.” Songyue nodded when she saw it.

Yi Yun attempted using it. Usage of the disk array was not considered complicated, but it had an additional secure layer which required psyche powers to unlock. If Yi Yun tried, he could unlock it, but Yi Yun had no interest in it.

He crushed the disk array for he discovered that there was a mental imprint hidden inside the disk array. It was not Cang Gu's and was likely left behind by Taixia.

Taixia had left a backdoor in their disk arrays. Yi Yun was planning to stay in the Chaos Heavens for at least a year. He did not wish his location to be monitored by Taixia constantly through the disk array.

Upon seeing Yi Yun destroy the disk array, Songyue felt alarmed. She had the intention to stop him, but she was too late.

But upon second thought, Yi Yun had no way of using the disk array anyway.

The disk array was quite expensive; yet, he had destroyed it so easily. Having lost their means of seeking ores, Songyue could not help but turn disheartened.

”Follow me,” said Yi Yun.

The worldly laws in the Xuanyuan Dune were abnormally potent. Warriors had their perception repressed and were unable to extend it out far. Furthermore, the terrain was very unique. Even with Yi Yun's potent perception, all he could do was penetrate a few hundred feet.

”I wonder what means are available to those ore-seekers. Back in the Sun Burial Sandsea, I did encounter people with similar means. They were able to use the art of Feng Shui to seek out treasures…”

While Yi Yun pondered over the matter, he activated the Purple Crystal's energy vision.

Everything seemed to turn transparent as the land turned a pale gray like it was covered in mist. Only energy sources appeared abnormally clear in Yi Yun's vision. It was like starlight in the darkness of the night.
