Chapter 1250: Chapter 755: Investigating the Primordial Ancient Mine!
“Qi Haoyu, you have long been responsible for guarding the entrance to the Primordial Ancient Mine. What was that commotion just now?”
At Primordial Mountain’s Qingrui Hall, the Second Ancestor, Third Ancestor, True Master Ao Jian, the Primordial Saint Lord, and other high-ranking officials were all alarmed by the commotion coming from the Primordial Ancient Mine. Below, an Elder facing the Primordial Saint Lord was sweating profusely under questioning.
The Holy Land Elder named Qi Haoyu replied in a fluster, “Apart from the disciples mining and the geniuses from the five Innate Holy Lands who went in for training, no outsiders have entered the Primordial Ancient Mine recently. I also don’t know where the disturbance in the Primordial Ancient Mine came from…”
The Elders of the Primordial Holy Land looked at each other.
The Primordial Saint Lord frowned deeply.
The Primordial Ancient Mine produces countless materials for crafting, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, crucial to the five Innate Holy Lands.
With tumultuous times at hand, any disturbance in the Primordial Ancient Mine is not a good sign.
The Primordial Holy Land didn’t even know the source of the tremors in the Primordial Ancient Mine.
The Primordial Saint Lord looked at the Second Ancestor, “Ancestor, what do you think we should do?”
“Dispatch Elders and disciples to investigate the Primordial Ancient Mine and quickly find out the source of the tremors.”
“But Ancestor, the interior of the Primordial Ancient Mine is a labyrinthine underground world, and the depths are fraught with peril. Judging by the source of the tremors, the disturbance seems to come from the deepest part of the ancient mine. Our Primordial Mountain must also guard against attacks from the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm; I’m afraid we don’t have enough Elders to delve into the Primordial Ancient Mine for investigation…”
“Request Elders from the five Innate Holy Lands to enter the Primordial Ancient Mine together for exploration. Anyone from other Holy Lands can enter the Primordial Ancient Mine as well, if they are not afraid of death.”
“I understand.”
The Primordial Saint Lord immediately went to make arrangements.
Lu Changsheng and others, who were briefly staying at Primordial Mountain, also learned of the predicament faced by the Primordial Holy Land.
The Primordial Ancient Mine, one of the forbidden places in the Immortal Realm, is rich in ancient ores.
Many treasured items, Dao Artifacts, and Emperor Soldiers from the Immortal Realm are made of materials from the Primordial Ancient Mine.
But why would the Primordial Ancient Mine have disturbances at this time?
“Lu Changsheng, we lack manpower above the Divine King Realm in the Primordial Holy Land. Would you be willing to help us explore the deep source of the tremors in the Primordial Ancient Mine?”
The Banished Sword Immortal, already a Greatly Accomplished God-King, invited Lu Changsheng to join the exploration of the Primordial Ancient Mine.
Lu Changsheng’s disciples include more than ten experts at the Divine King Realm.
If Lu Changsheng agrees, Xia Ningxue will probably not stand by idly.
“The Primordial Ancient Mine, huh…”
Lu Changsheng had long heard about this forbidden place in the Immortal Realm.
Rumor has it that the Primordial Ancient Mine is the source of the mineral veins of the Three Realms. Though full of dangers, it is exceptionally rich in minerals. Even after billions of years, the five Innate Holy Lands have only mined the shallow layers of the Primordial Ancient Mine.
As for the depths of the Primordial Ancient Mine, not even the Divine King Realm Elders of the Primordial Holy Land dare to venture.
Because the mineral resources are so abundant in the Primordial Ancient Mine, it has always been controlled by the five Innate Holy Lands. Other Holy Lands know little about it and only know that it produces various rare materials for crafting.
This is an opportunity to explore the Primordial Ancient Mine.
Even picking a few pieces of ore along the way, the Primordial Holy Land should not mind, since Lu Changsheng is helping them to explore the source of the anomaly.
“Senior Shi, what’s your opinion?”
Lu Changsheng sought the opinion of Shi Niandao.
Shi Niandao is a Great Expert, also one of the top powers of the Tai Hua Holy Land.
If Shi Niandao goes along, it will be much safer.
After all, the depths of the Primordial Ancient Mine are full of dangers.
Shi Niandao stroked his beard and said, “Since our Tai Hua Holy Land currently faces no danger, and the Primordial Holy Land has encountered an anomaly, we might as well help them explore the source of the disturbance.”
Zhu Xinguang excitedly rubbed his hands together, “I never thought I’d have the chance to enter the mysterious Primordial Ancient Mine one day. It’s said that the main materials of the Treasured Item ’Taihua Divine Umbrella’ and ’Star Tear Sword’ of our Tai Hua Holy Land came from the Primordial Ancient Mine.”
Since both Shi Niandao and Zhu Xinguang, powerful figures from two Holy Lands, agreed to enter the Primordial Ancient Mine for exploration, Lu Changsheng no longer had to worry much.
Lu Changsheng decided to lend a hand to the Primordial Holy Land. Xia Ningxue and a group from Guanghan Palace also entered the Primordial Ancient Mine.
The entrance to the Primordial Ancient Mine is located beneath Primordial Mountain, jointly guarded by the five Innate Holy Lands.
There is one Great Expert from Taiji, Primordial, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiyi each stationed at the entrance to prevent outsiders from intruding.
The five Innate Holy Lands each have disciples mining inside.
Due to the disturbance in the Primordial Ancient Mine, all disciples were withdrawn for their safety, and Elders above the Divine King Realm led Immortal Emperor Realm disciples to investigate the source of the anomaly in the Primordial Ancient Mine.
The interior of the Primordial Ancient Mine is extremely vast and complex. Additionally, there are many mineral veins rich in Spiritual Energy inside the ancient mine, affecting the Divine Sense of cultivators. Even Great Experts like the Second Ancestor cannot rely on their powerful Divine Sense to perceive the entire ancient mine, especially the disturbances in its depths.
Furthermore, the Second and Third Ancestors need to remain at Primordial Mountain to guard against sneak attacks by the Demon Lord and Demon God.
Only after the Elders find the source of the Primordial Ancient Mine’s disturbance will they take action.
The entrance to the Primordial Ancient Mine is a chasm-like opening, a hundred thousand feet wide, bottomless, and awe-inspiring.
Lu Changsheng and his companions followed the Elders from the Primordial Holy Land, including the Banished Sword Immortal, as they rode Immortal Swords into the Primordial Ancient Mine. An aura of desolation welcomed them.
The Primordial Ancient Mine is incredibly deep, with countless passages, making it difficult for light to enter. Therefore, at intervals, there are confined Spiritual Fires for illumination.
The grand scale of the five Innate Holy Lands’ efforts even made Lu Changsheng secretly marvel.
However, considering the immense benefits the Primordial Ancient Mine brings to the five Innate Holy Lands, these investments are worthwhile.
“The danger in the Primordial Ancient Mine lies in some of its mineral deposits, which contain astounding Spiritual Power, attracting a number of ancient beasts lurking underground.”
“Additionally, there is magma widespread beneath the ground, along with supreme Spiritual Fires roaming between heaven and earth that could reduce even Great Experts to ashes.”
“We’ll need to explore separately in a moment, so everyone must be careful. If you encounter danger, use the Talismans to call for help.”
The Banished Sword Immortal distributed Talismans to everyone.
At the bottom of the Primordial Ancient Mine, there are hundreds of main passages and countless side paths.
“Could that be the fifteenth-grade crafting material—Primordial Firesand!”
An Elder from the Tai Hua Holy Land exclaimed.
Such rare material as Primordial Firesand was seen at the entrance of one of the passages.
And they hadn’t even entered the true interior of the Primordial Ancient Mine, yet they already spotted fifteenth-grade crafting materials.
One can only imagine what kind of crafting materials lie further inside.
At the bottom, there are three hundred and sixty-five main passages. The Tai Hua Holy Land organized into three teams, led respectively by Shi Niandao, Zhu Xinguang, and Lu Changsheng.
After billions of years of excavation by the five Innate Holy Lands, these passages are labyrinthine. Given that the Tai Hua Holy Land, Guanghan Palace, Purple Void Palace, and other Holy Lands are not familiar with the Primordial Ancient Mine, each team was assigned a guiding Elder from the Primordial Holy Land.
The Banished Sword Immortal and Lu Changsheng were on the same team.
“Star River Sand!”
Lu Changsheng discovered a flowing river in the Primordial Ancient Mine, with some scattered Star River Sand at its bottom.
The eighteenth-grade crafting material “Star River Sand” is not particularly rare in the depths of the Primordial Ancient Mine.
If I can find some rare crafting materials, I might reward them to my disciples…
