Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

That's where the ingenuity of the design lies.

You will never obtain the true treasure unless you cleave the inkstone in two with a single sword strike.

More likely, once you leave the underground cave in front of you, even if you are lucky enough to solve the puzzle and cut the inkstone with your sword, you will likely be unable to trigger the mysterious teleportation array due to the distance.

In this way, one will not obtain the treasure.

It's quite despairing to think about. The conditions for obtaining the treasure are so harsh: a silly spiritual root, the ability to solve the riddle left by the other party in a short time, and the courage to cut the inkstone in half with a single sword.

All three are indispensable!

Amidst their exclamations of wonder, everyone's faces also revealed expressions of extreme excitement. After all, such a treasure, obtained through so much hardship, was undoubtedly of immeasurable value, even to a fool.

"We've struck it rich!"

"Jiang, come and see what kind of treasure it is!"

"Great, I can't wait."

……

Everyone started talking at once.

Jiang Yaoguang didn't keep them in suspense. She was just as curious. She raised her right hand, flicked her finger, and with a "click," the palm-sized wooden box opened.

A stone the size of a baby's fist came into view.

At first glance, the stone appears transparent, but upon closer inspection, its surface reveals some mysterious dark silver patterns that shimmer with a faint, ethereal light, and it feels warm and cool to the touch.

What's even more amazing is the inside of the stone, where tiny specks of starlight are arranged and gathered to form a small nebula, beautiful and magnificent, slowly rotating.

"What...what kind of treasure is this?"

Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide as they stared intently at the strange stone before them. Although they didn't recognize it, the same thought popped into their minds: this thing was definitely extraordinary, probably much more valuable than they had imagined.

"Yun'er, do you know what this is?"

Duan Xuan was naturally curious as well, but unlike others who were confused and at a loss, he could directly ask his secretary.

The system may not be omnipotent, but it will definitely not have any problems identifying treasures.

"This is good stuff!"

Lingyun's voice also carried a hint of admiration: "I never expected that such a high-level treasure would appear in a small Qi Refining level dungeon."

"What is it? Alright, girl, stop sighing and tell me."

Duan Xuan was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

"Okay, I'll tell you."

Lingyun chuckled and was about to speak when, at that moment, Fairy Yaoguang's voice reached her ears.

At this moment, the seemingly calm voice of this hidden Golden Core cultivator was also trembling, clearly indicating that even she could not hide the excitement in her heart.

"It's actually a Void-Gathering Stone! This is unbelievable! How could such a precious Void-Gathering Stone appear in a mere Blood Trial, a Qi Refining level dungeon?"

"The Void-Containing Stone, what is that?"

Everyone was completely bewildered when a college student asked the question that had been on his mind.

The others also stared intently at Fairy Yaoguang ahead.

At this moment, everyone assumed that this girl was a top student. Not only did she have excellent grades and high abilities, but she also liked to spend her free time in the library, so she was very knowledgeable and far more capable than the average student like them.

So everyone was waiting for her explanation.

Jiang Yaoguang didn't keep them in suspense. After a moment's thought, she said, "The Void-Containing Stone, as the name suggests, is a stone that contains the laws of space."

"What? Did I hear that right?"

"Is there something wrong with my ears?"

……

Jiang Yaoguang was interrupted as soon as she spoke. It wasn't that people didn't respect top students, but rather that her explanation was too outrageous.

A stone that embodies the laws of space?

Are you kidding me? They're just a group of Qi Refining cultivators. How could they possibly have access to something as advanced as the Laws of Space?

This is like someone asking you to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet right after you graduate from elementary school—it's ridiculously absurd.

"Senior, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Yeah, how could a Qi Refining level dungeon possibly contain such unfathomable treasures?"

……

"Enough with the nonsense, do you even want to hear what I have to say?"

Jiang Yaoguang was getting a little impatient.

"Okay, let's listen."

"Senior, you said we'd never talk to each other again."

Seeing that Jiang Yaoguang was angry, everyone fell silent and quickly said they would not interrupt again.

"I don't know why such a precious treasure would appear here, but this is definitely a Void Stone, no doubt about it. This stone contains a trace of spatial laws, and its value is immeasurable. It is especially important for the current Ruins of Return. Therefore, although it is of extremely high grade, it is not something that needs to be kept secret. Almost every university library has books that specifically introduce it."

"It's very important to Guixu, senior, you mean...?"

Everyone's imaginations immediately ran wild.

"good."

Jiang Yaoguang nodded, but then sighed: "Ever since the fall of Heavenly Venerable Lin, all the heavens and myriad realms have coveted our Guixu. The reason why we have been helpless for so many years is because of the Qiankun Hunyuan Protecting Array left behind by Heavenly Venerable before his death."

"The reason why this formation is so remarkable is that it contains spatial laws that can strengthen the barrier between interfaces. Therefore, even if cultivators from other interfaces go through great hardships, as long as this formation is not broken, they can at most open up some small passages connecting to the Ruins of Return."

"Such small passages can only accommodate a limited number of cultivators and cannot pose any threat to the Void. As for truly large interdimensional passages, they cannot be opened at all."

"I see."

Everyone felt they had overheard a huge secret; the top student was indeed remarkable: "Then this Void-Containing Stone..."

"It's very simple." Jiang Yaoguang sighed: "Because of the wealth of our Guixu, the other side has never given up and has been trying every means to wear down the power of the Qiankun Hunyuan Protective Array."

"And where there is offense, there is defense; this Void Stone can replenish the energy of the great formation."

"Unfortunately, the Void-Containing Stone contains the laws of space and is an extremely precious treasure. Even if Guixu goes through countless hardships to obtain this resource, it is still extremely difficult."

"Moreover, the other party will also cause trouble and try every means to stop it, so every time the Void Stone is born, it will be accompanied by bloodshed, and usually a powerful expert at the Integration level will perish."

……

Everyone was stunned.

They looked at each other, and from Fairy Yaoguang's description, they certainly knew how precious and outrageous this treasure was.

The appearance of such a treasure usually accompanies the death of Nascent Soul cultivators, but they were just a group of Qi Refining cultivators participating in simple social practice. How could they possibly come into contact with a treasure of this level?

It's all a bit too outrageous no matter how you look at it.

This is just too good of luck.

Moreover, if everything is as Jiang Yaoguang said, then this time, they have made an enormous contribution.
