Lu Chen and Su Mo Li were currently standing within the Jun Bell, releasing their Yin Spirit to scan the primitive forest below, attempting to detect any movements, as the main area was right here.
The forest was vast; although it was not as expansive as Luban Divine Ridge, it still stretched endlessly. Even with the flying speed of the Jun Bell, they could not see the bottom in a short time. Moreover, to search for things, they had to slow down.
After about half a quarter of an hour, Lu Chen and Su Mo Li both trembled simultaneously and withdrew their released Divine Sense. They exchanged glances, and Su Mo Li said, "It seems there is something going on below; let's go take a look."
Lu Chen nodded. Both he and Su Mo Li had sensed something unusual at the same time, and this situation felt ambiguous and unclear. However, since they were already here, they would find out by going down.
With Lu Chen controlling the Jun Bell, they flew down and landed on a ridge. Lu Chen opened the entrance of the Jun Bell and let himself and Su Mo Li out before stowing it away. Below the ridge was a large pit.
This pit was the base of a massive boulder. Inside the pit lay an enormous stone, half of which had already sunk into the ground. From above, it looked majestic and imposing; they could not see its entirety even from their vantage point on the ridge. Both Lu Chen and Su Mo Li couldn't help but marvel at such a gigantic stone; standing on the ridge, they could not see its full form.
If such a massive stone had fallen from nowhere, there must have been some commotion; it couldn't have landed silently. Moreover, judging by its appearance, it seemed to have been here for some time. This meant that the Great Zhou Court must have known about it long ago but had kept it under wraps until a court official inadvertently leaked information after the Defender of the Realm returned from the northern battlefield.
"Let's go check it out," Lu Chen said as he and Su Mo Li took off together toward the giant stone.
The surface of the boulder appeared reddish-brown with fine cracks running through it, emitting a scent of saltpeter and sulfur. They were puzzled as to why it looked this way. Lu Chen and Su Mo Li exchanged surprised glances and cautiously approached.
However, the process was not smooth because as soon as they got close to the boulder, it seemed to possess a rebounding force that pushed back anyone or anything attempting to approach.
The rebounding force was not overly strong—estimated to be around several hundred pounds—which posed no significant obstacle for Lu Chen and Su Mo Li. However, it still had some effect; if there were no impact at all, that would certainly be false.
As they neared the boulder, they needed to exert a bit of force to make contact with its surface before landing on top of it.
The boulder was indeed enormous; when they landed on it, they felt smaller than ants. There was only a slight slope beneath them. Once they were on top, they could begin walking forward as if taking a leisurely stroll.
Lu Chen and Su Mo Li exchanged glances again, both feeling that this sensation was quite magical. Unconsciously, they held hands and moved forward together without any verbal communication; it felt completely natural for them to walk side by side.
This way, they could walk more steadily without any ulterior motives—merely for stability. While Lu Chen was fine, Su Mo Li's Flesh was too weak; she had almost no martial arts cultivation. In such an environment, unless she reached a breakthrough state, it would not benefit her much—only harm her. Since Lu Chen had formed an alliance with her, it was only right for him to take care of her now.
Now that they were holding hands while advancing, there was no awkwardness between them; after all, they were both practitioners of cultivation and did not mind such gestures or taboos. On the contrary, they regarded Flesh as secondary in importance.
The two walked while looking up ahead, and before they knew it, they had already entered the clouds.
Passing through the thick clouds, they emerged into the open, where the intense Golden Sunlight made it difficult to open their eyes.
Below the clouds, it was likely gloomy or raining, but outside, it was definitely sunny. The sunlight shone fiercely, and in the distance, they could see the depths of the Cosmic Starry Sky, a dark expanse dotted with twinkling stars.
At this moment, Layman still appeared immense, seemingly endless, making it hard to reach its end no matter how long they walked.
"This isn't a way to go on; we need to speed up. Otherwise, we might miss something important," Lu Chen said to Su Mo Li. They couldn't tell when they would reach the end if they continued at this pace; they had to accelerate.
Suma nodded and replied, "You're right. We must increase our speed; otherwise, we might really miss something significant. If it turns out to be the Earth Book, we would regret it terribly."
The two exchanged glances, and then Lu Chen summoned Jun Bell, opening an entrance for them to fly in. With Lu Chen controlling Jun Bell, they soared into the sky at a much faster speed. Below them, massive rocks sped past their feet. About half an hour later, Lu Chen and Su Mo Li noticed their surroundings again and descended.
On a hilltop, Lu Chen and Su Mo Li saw Xing Ru Xie. He wore a blue cloth outfit with a Wine Gourd hanging from his waist. Despite his carefree appearance, he did not seem happy to see them.
"Xing Ru Xie, what's wrong? Why are you here alone? Where is everyone? What happened?" Lu Chen asked.
Xing Ru Xie licked his lips with a weary expression and said, "The Earth Book has descended—the real Earth Book has descended. This giant stone is what accompanied the Earth Book down. But by the time I arrived, the Earth Book had already been taken by someone else. Many people participated in the struggle for it, including several heirs from Major Sects and factions. I joined in as well but got injured; my Yin Spirit was damaged. Now my thoughts are a bit muddled, so I dared not act recklessly and waited here for you."
Standing on the hillside with a furrowed brow, Xing Ru Xie slowly explained that this time was indeed the true descent of the Earth Book. The massive stone beneath them had accompanied the Earth Book's arrival. Those who received news first rushed over to compete for it; naturally, the Earth Book ended up in their hands, including many heirs from various Sects.
Even Xing Ru Xie had arrived here before Lu Chen and his companions and participated in the struggle but couldn't outmatch others and even sustained injuries. His Yin Spirit was somewhat scattered; thus, he could only wait for Lu Chen and Su Mo Li while watching others rush off to compete for the Human Book.
"Xing Ru Xie, come up here and rest for a bit," Lu Chen invited him into Jun Bell for recuperation. At this moment, if Lu Chen ignored Xing Ru Xie’s condition, he would have to withstand the rebound force of the giant stone alone, which would be quite unpleasant with unpredictable consequences.
Xing Ru Xie nodded and then entered Jun Bell. Afterward, Lu Chen unceremoniously gathered fragments of Yuan Yi's Yin Spirit and said, "These are fragments of a powerful expert's Yin Spirit. If you refine them and swallow them yourself, you should be able to heal your damaged Yin Spirit."
He intended for Xing Ru Xie to refine Yuan Yi's Yin Spirit fragments to erase their memories and convert them into pure Yin Spirit for him to consume and heal his own damaged Yin Spirit.
The Yin Spirit can indeed be used in this way. The fragments of others' Yin Spirit contain Yin Yuan. As long as the memories within are erased using a technique and slightly refined, they can be directly consumed.
"What are you trying to do? Lu Chen, you are too ruthless, with no limits to your actions. You will face retribution," Yuan Yi's Yin Spirit was gathered by Lu Chen, and he immediately guessed what was about to happen; they were likely going to refine him.
"Shut up; you have no right to speak here," Lu Chen said, directly unleashing a divine power that condensed into a thread, stringing together all of Yuan Yi's Yin Spirit thoughts like beads and tossing them over to Xing Ru Xie.
"Lu Chen, you will die a terrible death; you will not have a good end," Yuan Yi shouted angrily. He was furious that someone dared to refine and consume his Yin Spirit. This meant he would truly be finished, never able to rise again.
"What is this?" At first, Xing Ru Xie was curious when he saw Lu Chen throw over Yuan Yi's Yin Spirit thoughts, not knowing what it was.
But upon hearing Lu Chen's words, he immediately laughed and said with understanding, "I see now. Thank you, Brother Lu Chen. There’s no other way for the Yin Spirit to recover faster. Don’t worry; if the Yuan Family seeks trouble with Brother Lu Chen in the future, count me in. After all, this Yuan Yi's Yin Spirit thoughts are what I consumed."
With that, Xing Ru Xie unleashed a divine power that enveloped the Yin Spirit fragments like oil in a pot and began to cook them. Xing Ru Xie was erasing their memories to turn them into the purest Yin Yuan for his own recovery.
As Xing Ru Xie's divine power was unleashed, waves of starlight energy immediately filled the interior of Jun Bell. This was a characteristic of the Stargate Technique; once activated, it would continuously emit starlight energy, mysterious and grand, with an overwhelming aura.
Seeing that Xing Ru Xie had entered a meditative state, Lu Chen and Su Mo Li exchanged smiles. Then, Lu Chen controlled Jun Bell and continued moving forward.
