Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

time flies.

Blood Moon Tower is searching in the shadows.

They mobilized all members who had entered the Windscale World and began searching every corner, intending to scour every mountain, every swamp, and every rift valley.

However, several days passed without any results.

Apart from the first Wind Scale Stone that was found by chance, they have not found any other Wind Scale Stones so far. Perhaps they were picked up by some unknown rogue cultivator, or perhaps they are still hidden deep underground and have never come to light.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Lin Yan was still traveling through the Wind Scale World, searching for clues about the Wind Scale Stone.

He was unaware that Blood Moon Tower had already obtained a piece.

But all he knew was that the Wind Scale Stone in his hand would resonate when it encountered another identical stone, and it was based on this characteristic that he was searching in the Wind Scale World.

During this period of time.

Lin Yan also encountered martial artists from other forces. Apart from a few arrogant ones who were willing to die, the vast majority of them were busy with their own affairs.

No one wants to create trouble for themselves when there is no real conflict of interest.

After flying for several more days.

After traversing several mountain ranges, two deserts, and a wide river, as he flew over a desolate stone forest, the Wind Scale Stone in his palm suddenly trembled.

This resonance...

More intense than ever before.

Lin Yan's figure suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air, his mental energy spreading out in all directions like invisible tentacles.

The source of the resonance was not in the Stone Forest, but in a huge rift valley at the end of the Stone Forest, a rift valley that looked as if it had been cleaved in two by a giant axe that split the earth open.

The rift valley is only a few miles wide, but it is tens of thousands of kilometers deep. The rock walls on both sides are covered with weathered patterns, and the bottom of the valley is pitch black, so dark that even light cannot penetrate the bottomless darkness.

Lin Yan immediately flew towards the bottom of the rift valley.

This time.

They didn't encounter any danger.

The air at the bottom of the valley was damp and carried a musty smell. Beneath our feet was a dried-up underground riverbed, covered with smooth, mirror-like rocks and countless tiny fragments of crystal scattered around.

These crystal fragments are multicolored, some as red as blood, some as black as ink, and some as transparent as ice...

"Underground?"

Lin Yan ignored the crystal fragments and carefully sensed the source of the resonance, which was actually deep underground in the riverbed.

"Whoosh!"

"laugh!"

The mirage feathers appeared out of thin air.

Driven by Lin Yan's telekinesis, it transformed into a light shuttle and dug directly into the ground. The rock strata were very hard, and the crystal fragments were even more ridiculously hard, with a strength comparable to a second-tier Force weapon.

Even when he used the light shuttle transformed from the mirage feathers, it required repeated attacks to shatter it.

As time goes by.

Lin Yan dug downwards little by little, and gravel and powder poured out from the excavation hole, piling up into a small hill on the riverbed.

Finally, half an hour later, at the deepest part of the rock stratum, his mental power touched the stone.

This wind-scale stone is encased in a thick layer of crystal shell, like a fetus sleeping in its mother's womb.

"Hiss~"

The moment it came into contact with Lin Yan's mental power, the Wind Scale Stone trembled slightly, and its outer crystal shell began to peel off on its own, emitting streaks of bluish-white light.

However, when a piece of information entered his mind, Lin Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

"The Wind Scale Stone, when combined with the other three stones, can open the Wind Scale Palace. This is the third stone. With all three stones now in place, the Wind Scale Palace will open in one day."

Three pieces?

He immediately understood.

The Wind Scale Stone I just obtained is the third one, meaning that one of them has already been obtained by someone else.

Lin Yan didn't have time to think further.

He stored the two stones in his spatial ring, closed his eyes, and sensed the location transmitted to him by the Wind Scale Stone—

The location of Fenglin Palace.

Lin Yan immediately rose from the ground, soaring out of the rift valley and flying in the direction indicated by the stone.

……

at the same time.

On the other side of the Windscale World, in a valley shrouded in thick fog, a effeminate man sat cross-legged on a blue stone, holding a milky-white stone in his hand.

The stone was trembling slightly, and the golden patterns inside seemed to move as if they were alive, emitting an increasingly intense light.

Chiqi.

A core disciple of the Blood Moon Tower, possessing cosmic-level ninth-tier strength.

He was tall and slender, wearing a set of dark red armor. Unlike Chi Wuxie's gentle and reserved temperament, Chi Qi's face was more stern, with an undisguised ferocity between his brows.

Two days ago, the entrance to the Windscale World expanded further, making it large enough to accommodate ninth-tier universe-level powerhouses. Chi Xi took this opportunity to bring in a group of Blood Moon Tower members.

"Senior brother, the Wind Scale Palace is open!" Chi Wuxie, standing beside him, bowed slightly, his posture extremely respectful.

Chixi did not look at him.

His gaze fell on the slightly trembling wind-scale stone in his hand, sensing the newly emerging directional information in his sea of ​​consciousness, and a cold smile slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Finally..." he said softly, his voice carrying a hint of long-suppressed excitement, "It wasn't for nothing that I waited so long."

"Don't let me down!"

He put the Wind Scale Stone into his spatial ring, stood up, and a chilling aura emanated from him, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

If this operation goes smoothly, he can use this opportunity to apply to the higher-ups for more resources, thereby breaking through to the Domain Lord level in one fell swoop. Only by becoming a Domain Lord can he truly establish himself in the Blood Moon Tower.

Cosmic level and Domain Lord level.

These are two completely different levels of life. The domain lord who has condensed the life core has a survival ability that far exceeds the universe level. The difference between the two is not only a hundred or a thousand times in power, but also a qualitative change from "energy accumulation" to "life transformation".

Geniuses can challenge those above their level, but they mostly cross one or two minor levels; the gap between major realms is almost insurmountable.

"Alright, this is none of your business."

Coming to his senses, Chi Xi looked at Chi Wuxie, who was standing respectfully to the side, and said coldly. In his eyes, this external member was just a gofer. He had already recorded the credit for finding the Wind Scale Stone.

And the rest—

Naturally, he is no longer needed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Qi's figure transformed into a cloud of blood mist, churning and surging towards the sky, flying in the direction indicated by his sea of ​​consciousness. The blood mist left a dark red trail in the air that lingered for a long time.

in situ.

Chi Wuxie stood alone in the valley, watching Chi Qi's departing blood-red figure, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed.

The cold light in his eyes was finally no longer concealed the moment Chi Qi disappeared into the horizon.

"Senior brother..." Chi Wuxie murmured to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it, "May you have a safe journey."

He turned around and flew away in a direction different from Chixi.
