Chapter 3414: Secret of the Sacred Mountain (2)

“Looks like we need to carry out a complete examination of the Martial Soul Mountain.” Hun Zang suggested.

“The news that little junior brother has brought about the Martial Soul Mountain has truly overturned our past views of it. Our examination this time will be more thorough than any of the times in the past,” Chu Jian said sternly.

“That’s right, I agree with this. We have to carry out a fine check on the entire Martial Soul Mountain.”

The successors of the Martial Soul lineage reached an agreement very quickly. They gathered together and began a detailed and all-encompassing examination of the Martial Soul Mountain.

They directly gave up on the exterior of the Martial Soul Mountain. After all, from Jian Chen’s description, they already knew that it was not truly the Martial Soul Mountain, just a layer of rock formed over time.

Any expert whose cultivation had reached the peak could access the rock layer as they pleased. There was nothing worth investigating.

Aside from that, they divided up the regions of the Martial Soul Mountain after learning about the sacred mountain’s true appearance from Jian Chen.

They temporarily divided the Martial Soul Mountain into three regions. The first region was the layer of rock most exterior.

The second region was the depths that only members of the Martial Soul lineage could enter. This region could stop Grand Exalts.

The third region was the true core of the sacred mountain, the place where treasures were hidden.

Apart from the first region, the only places they could access in the second region were the few caves.

Their first stop was the sacred land of the Martial Soul lineage, the cave with the memorial tablets of their predecessors.

Each memorial tablet represnted a successor who had appeared in the history of the Martial Soul lineage. Throughout history, who knew how many generations the Martial Soul lineage had lasted. Just the memorial tablets recorded here amounted to the thousands.

And that was only a fraction of everyone, as many predecessors of the Martial Soul lineage did not leave their names behind here for various reasons.

However, when Jian Chen glanced past the memorial tablets again, his expression immediately became strange.

That was because he saw his own name at the very bottom of these memorial tablets!

Before he knew it, he had actually joined these memorial tablets.

“Hehehehe, we all thought that eighth junior brother had perished, which was why we added your memorial tablet. I’ll remove it right now. I’ll remove it right now.” Qing Shan smiled awkwardly and immediately took Jian Chen’s memorial tablet from there.

Afterwards, they bowed deeply towards the memorial tablets and began searching through every inch of this cave carefully. Their search this time was clearly finer than any of the times in the past. They did not miss any corners, all hoping to find something.

“There’s nothing to find here. Let’s go to the next place.”

Several hours later, they left there and visited the places within the Martial Soul Mountain that they could set foot in one by one. Whenever they visited a place, they would search every inch of the walls and ground extremely carefully.

In the end, they arrived at the place that produced Martial Soul Rock.

This also happened to be the deepest region in the Martial Soul Mountain that they could reach.

“This is the last place. If we can’t even find anything here, then that means we can’t unlock the Martial Soul Mountain’s true potential with our current strength,” Hun Zang said sternly as he stood on the crystal ground that was basically completely composed of Martial Soul Rock.

Even after such a fine search, they still failed to find anything, which left them slightly disappointed.

Jian Chen studied the cave and gradually became doubtful. He discovered that the cave was actually identical to when he first visited the Martial Soul Mountain. It had not changed at all.

“Senior brothers and sisters, haven’t you been cultivating over the past few years?” Jian Chen asked instinctively.

“Hehe, is eighth junior brother referring to the Martial Soul Rock here? During the years you were gone, we obviously used the Martial Soul Rock here to cultivate. However, the Martial Soul Rock is rather special. No matter how we deplete it, it always regenerates on its own. Even if we exhaust a large quantity of Martial Soul Rock in a short amount of time, it’ll all return to how we found it in a while.” Qing Shan clutched a violet Martial Soul Rock and grinned at Jian Chen.

Jian Chen looked at the Martial Soul Rock. At this moment, the Martial Soul Force inside the Martial Soul Rock excavated by Qing Shan rapidly bled away. The Martial Soul Force inside returned to the untouched stone walls again.

Once Martial Soul Rock was excavated, the Martial Soul Force would leak away uncontrollably. If it were taken away from the Martial Soul Mountain, it would leak away even faster.

This was the exact reason why Martial Soul Rock could not be taken away from the Martial Soul Mountain.

“Eighth junior brother, you were still too weak back then, which was why we didn’t tell you everything about Martial Soul Rock. Actually, Martial Soul Rock is similar to the divine crystals of the Saints’ World. They also are divided into grades.”

“For example, the Martial Soul Rock in my hand is of the most inferior grade. There is better Martial Soul Rock within the walls. However, because the rocks here will regenerate, only first senior brother, second senior brother, and third senior brother can reach the Martial Soul Rock in the depths of the walls,” Qing Shan said, explaining to Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s eyes lit up slightly. “In other words, there really is something rather different about this place. First senior brother, second senior brother, third senior brother, how far into the wall can you get?”

“Just six metres. The Martial Soul Rock six metres deep is a little more pure compared to the outside, but it’s nowhere near enough for a qualitative change. After six metres, we can’t venture any further with our current strength.”

“That’s because we rapidly made our way in through absorbing the Martial Soul Force in the Martial Soul Rock. We absorb each piece we excavate and gradually advance forwards. The deeper we get, the faster the Martial Soul Rock regenerates. If we want to slow down their regeneration speed, then all we can do is absorb the Martial Soul Force as much as possible. As a result, the regeneration speed of the Martial Soul Force after six metres catches up with our absorption speed, preventing us from going any further,” said Chu Jian.

“Then if you don’t absorb the Martial Soul Rock and directly excavate deeper, can you just keep going?” Jian Chen asked.

“We can’t!” Hun Zang shook his head. “We already tried that a long time ago. If you don’t absorb the Martial Soul Force from the excavated Martial Soul Rock, then the Martial Soul Force will gather at the same place as where they came from and accelerate the wall’s regeneration. The best way to slow down the regeneration is to absorb the Martial Soul Rock we excavate.”

“As a result, if you want to venture a little deeper, there’s only one way about it right now, which is to absorb the Martial Soul Force as much as possible.”

Jian Chen sank into his thoughts when he heard that. The special regenerative property of Martial Soul Rock immediately made it the most wondrous place in the entire Martial Soul Mountain so far.

That was because when they checked the other parts of the Martial Soul Mountain, the space of many places were fixed in place. They could not be excavated. The surrounding walls were terrifyingly tough. Let alone them, even people stronger than them probably could not leave a mark in the walls.

Only the place that produced Martial Soul Rock allowed them to dig deeper.
