Although Ma Yuanyi proposed the possibility of the stele's levitation, it still carried significant risks. A misjudgment could lead to the stele collapsing with just a single excavation. However, Zhang Jiao took a deep breath and ultimately decided to investigate. There are always risks involved in any endeavor.
After years of spreading their teachings, the followers of Taiping Dao had grown to tens of thousands. Yet, he had never encountered an immortal. Today, the Divine Stele appeared before him, potentially hiding the mysteries of immortals within. Standing idly by the Divine Stele left him feeling unsettled.
"Let's dig; I believe you all share my curiosity," Zhang Jiao nodded. Soon after, a group of high-ranking members from Taiping Dao approached the Divine Stele and began to excavate with bare hands.
Fortunately, this location was deep within Tai Mountain, where the soil was moist, unlike the hardened ground outside that had dried under the scorching sun. Thus, with a little effort, they were able to easily remove the earth.
As they continued, the soil beneath the stele became increasingly sparse. Logically speaking, this small amount of soil should not be enough to support the Divine Stele securely. Yet, it stood firm like a mountain.
At this moment, everyone began to believe Ma Yuanyi's words; perhaps the Divine Stele did not rest on the ground but was suspended in midair. The sensation that it was seated on the surface was merely due to its base being tightly embedded in the earth.
"Let’s get to work; I’m sure you’re all just as intrigued."
Zhang Jiao nodded in agreement.
Immediately, the highest-ranking members of the Taiping Dao rushed to the base of the stele, using their hands to dig into the soil. Fortunately, deep within Tai Mountain, the ground was moist and had not been scorched by the blazing sun outside. Thus, they easily peeled away layer after layer of earth.
As time passed, the soil around the stele diminished more and more. Theoretically, such a small amount of soil could not support a stone monument securely. Yet, the Divine Stele remained completely still, like a towering mountain standing firm.
At this moment, under the context provided by Ma Yuanyi, everyone increasingly believed that the Divine Stele was not grounded but rather suspended in mid-air. The earlier illusion of the stele being rooted in the earth was merely due to its base closely adhering to the damp soil.
They continued to dig without pause until they finally removed the last handful of soil beneath the Divine Stele. Contrary to expectations, the stele did not collapse; instead, it quietly hovered in mid-air, completely motionless. Or rather, it had always been in a state of suspension, only now revealed.
It was divine! This was undoubtedly a sacred phenomenon. It seemed that there truly were deities in this world. The power of this stele surpassed any so-called miraculous sights we had ever encountered by thousands of times!
Everyone present was stunned by this scene, even Zhang Jiao beside them, whose hands trembled slightly. It turned out that my years without encountering divine beings were not because they did not exist, but because we had not yet found our opportunity.
He reached out to touch the Divine Stele.
So, is my sudden encounter with this Divine Stele today a sign that it is my destined moment? Everyone observed repeatedly and touched it with their own hands, yet still found it hard to believe their own eyes.
Finally, Zhang Jiao said, "At this moment, the Divine Stele has appeared here; it will neither shift nor dissipate. I believe everyone has worked hard along the way, so why don't we set up a tent first?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. They quickly took out their gear and erected two tents on the spot. One tent was for Zhang Jiao and his two brothers, while the other was for their guests. Although the tents were not very large, fortunately, there were not many guests this time—only about ten in total—so they could be accommodated.
Inside Zhang Jiao's tent, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang took out some small black round balls from their pockets. "Everyone, let's eat something," they said. In reality, these were not medicinal pills but rather food cakes made from various grains. Though small, they were very effective for restoring Stamina.
After finishing the dry food balls and drinking some water, the three of them still wore expressions of disbelief. Finally, Zhang Jiao broke the silence, saying, "Rest assured, everyone; the Divine Stele is indeed present in this world. It will neither move nor vanish." He then suggested that since everyone must be tired, they should quickly set up camp and rest.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and began to take out their tents from their packs, swiftly setting them up. Before long, two tents were erected. One was for Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, while the other was for their guests. Although the tent space was limited, it was fortunate that there were not too many guests—only about ten—so they could still manage to fit everyone.
Inside Zhang Jiao's tent, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang produced a few small black pills. "Come on, everyone; let's eat something to stave off hunger," they said. These small pills were actually made from a mixture of various grains; although tiny, they were excellent for replenishing Stamina.
