Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Chapter 118 The Meteorite Vein!

The Mysterious Realm of Cangming, outside the Valley of Fallen Winds.

"Write down the location of Fallen Valley."

Inside the spaceship's control room, the man in silver armor said, "If there's still time after we complete the secret realm exploration mission assigned by our master, we can come back and explore again."

"Yes," the man in black robes and the bald giant replied in unison, though they were unwilling, they dared not disobey the order.

"Whoosh~"

The spaceship changed direction and headed in the opposite direction of Fallen Valley, quickly disappearing into the void.

However, what they didn't know was that in another asteroid belt not far from Fallen Valley, a silver-white spaceship was resting there.

"Investigating information about the hidden realm?!"

"Owner?!!"

Inside the spaceship, Lin Yan sat in the command room, his gaze fixed on the Fallen Valley in the exterior simulation.

His detectors were already running at maximum power, constantly monitoring everything around him. Naturally, he detected the spaceship and recorded their conversation.

Three peak Realm Lords, their goal is to investigate the secret realm and, behind it, at least the master of an immortal god.

"Phew~"

Lin Yan shook his head, banishing these distracting thoughts from his mind. Whatever their motives, as long as they weren't in his way, they were none of his concern.

The spaceship approached the edge of Fallen Valley.

Lin Yan's gaze passed through the exterior simulation and landed on the narrow spatial rift. At the edge of the rift, spatial fragments fell like snowflakes, swirling, tumbling, and annihilating in the void.

And around the crack.

Hundreds of wandering phantoms drifted silently through the void, unwilling to leave the vicinity of the rift even as spatial fragments frequently scattered around them.

"Clear the outer perimeter first," Lin Yan decisively ordered.

A deep blue light burst forth from the void, and the roots of the Nether Lotus rapidly spread toward the wandering ghosts.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The roots, resembling giant silver pythons, moved at incredible speed, leaving behind streaks of silvery-white afterimages in the void, precisely locking onto the location of each ghost.

"Sizzle~"

Sensing the danger, the wandering ghosts began to flee in all directions. However, the roots of the Nether Lotus were faster, traversing the void and catching up with the fleeing ghosts.

"laugh"

A ghost shattered instantly under the strangulation of the roots, its translucent body turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the void.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

"6

One after another, the sound of shattering echoed in the void.

One ghost after another vanished under the strangulation of the roots, their translucent bodies turning into countless specks of light that drifted away in the eerie blue glow.

however.

These movements also awakened the beings deep within the cracks.

"Buzz"

The entire spatial rift was trembling.

The pale light in the darkness suddenly intensified, and countless points of light lit up at the same time, awakening the sleeping phantoms of the wind, which surged out from the depths of the cracks in an overwhelming manner.

Nearly ten thousand Ghostly Meteorites.

The first hundred or so had already burst out of the crack. Inside their translucent bodies, streaks of pale light flowed, each movement of the light creating ripples of energy.

"Boom!"

Deep within the crack, layers upon layers of energy ripples surged, like a white ocean churning.

"Mingxi, kill them all."

Lin Yan's pupils contracted slightly. Among these thousands of Fallen Wind Ghosts, over a thousand were radiating the aura of a peak Realm Lord.

"Boom!"

The root system of the water lily suddenly expanded.

From hundreds to thousands, each root system is like a giant silver python, shuttling, coiling, and strangling the ethereal spirits in the void.

In the blink of an eye.

Hundreds of ghosts shattered.

However, more ghosts surged up. These ghosts were different from the ones we had encountered before. They seemed unafraid of death. Even as the ghosts in front shattered one after another, the ghosts behind continued to surge forward.

Something's not right!

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

These ghosts are behaving very strangely.

The Fallen Specters are energy-based life forms, and all life forms have emotions, just like the thirty specters encountered at the beginning, or even the wandering specters outside the rift.

These ghosts, once they encounter an insurmountable force, will scatter and flee instantly; this is the normal behavior of life.

But these ghosts before us, as if possessed, relentlessly pounced on the roots of the Nether Lotus.

It seems to be protecting something?

Lin Yan's gaze pierced through the pale ocean and looked into the depths of the crack, but the depths of the crack were shrouded in darkness, and his eyesight could not penetrate the darkness to see what was inside.

"Mingxi, speed up." Lin Yan's voice was cold.

"boom!"

The root system of the water lily has expanded again.

A deep blue light bloomed in the void, and the Netherworld Domain spread out, enveloping the pale ocean layer by layer.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Any ghostly apparition that gets close to the domain is instantly crushed by the dark blue domain or strangled by its roots.

In less than a few breaths.

The entire void seemed to fall silent, the eerie blue light receded, and only the shattered meteorite fragments remained in the void.

"Enter!"

The spaceship immediately entered the crevice.

Inside the crack.

It is a huge underground space.

The spaceship slowly entered the depths of the crevice. Instead of the darkness seen from the outside, it was filled with an eerie, pale light that illuminated the entire space.

Inside the spaceship, Lin Yan's gaze pierced through the exterior simulation and locked onto the vast underground space at the bottom of the crack.

The source of light.

It was those densely packed meteorites on the ground.

The meteorites are irregularly shaped blocks of varying sizes, ranging from as small as a fist to as large as a house.

Its surface is pale blue, covered with fine lines, and the pale white light shines through these lines.

"Master, a large amount of energy feedback detected!"

Fat Cat's voice echoed in the command room, brimming with barely concealed excitement, "It's meteorites, the quantity—"

Its voice paused for a moment, then continued, "The number is extremely large!"

Lin Yan's gaze fell on the screen, where a three-dimensional structural diagram generated by the detector was displayed.

The outline of the entire underground space was clearly visible.

The dome is towering and the ground is vast, like a giant cave buried deep in a fissure. In the center of the cave, the detector marks a huge area of ​​energy reaction.

"This is----"

"A vein of minerals, a meteorite vein!"

On the virtual 3D structure diagram, the entire mine resembles an inverted mountain peak, hanging down from the dome and rising from the ground, filling the entire underground space completely.

Lin Yan roughly estimated the volume of the ore vein.

The dome's lower section is about six kilometers high, and the raised section of the ground is also four kilometers high. The overall length of the vein is about sixty kilometers, and the width is about eight kilometers.

Based on this volume, the total amount of meteorites in the entire vein is at least 4.7 billion cubic meters.

One cubic meter of meteorite is worth one Hunyuan unit, so 4.7 billion cubic meters is 4.7 billion Hunyuan units.

Four and a half billion!!!

Lin Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

This wealth is almost comparable to the Lake Luoke.
