Investigating the Primordial Ancient Mine!
"Qi Haoyu, you've been guarding the entrance to the Primordial Ancient Mine for a long time. What was that commotion just now?"
At Taichu Mountain, in the Qingrui Hall, the Second Ancestor, the Third Ancestor, Ao Jian True Person, the Primordial Beginning Holy Lord, and other high-ranking officials were all alarmed by the commotion from the Primordial Ancient Mine. Below, an Elder, sweating profusely, faced the Primordial Beginning Holy Lord's questioning.
The Holy Land Elder named Qi Haoyu replied hastily, "Apart from the disciples mining and the geniuses from the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands who went in for training, no outsiders have entered the Primordial Ancient Mine during this period. I don't know where the commotion in the Primordial Ancient Mine came from..."
The Elders of the Taichu Sacred Land looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Primordial Beginning Holy Lord frowned deeply.
The Primordial Ancient Mines yield countless Artifact Refining materials and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which are of vital importance to the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands.
At a time of great turmoil, any activity at the Primordial Ancient Mine is hardly a good sign.
The Taichu Sacred Land didn't even know the source of the vibrations in the Primordial Ancient Mine.
The Primordial Beginning Holy Lord looked at the Second Ancestor: "Ancestor, what do you think we should do?"
"Dispatch Elders and disciples to investigate the Primordial Ancient Mine and find the source of the vibrations as soon as possible."
"But Ancestor, the Primordial Ancient Mine is a labyrinth of interconnected paths, resembling an underground world, and fraught with danger at its depths. Judging from the source of the tremors, the disturbance seems to be originating from the deepest part of the mine. Our Taichu Mountain also needs to guard against attacks from the Demon Realm and the Yao Realm; I'm afraid we don't have enough Elders to venture deep into the Primordial Ancient Mine to investigate..."
"We invite the Elders of the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands to enter the Primordial Ancient Mine for exploration. If they are not afraid of death, people from other Holy Lands may also enter the Primordial Ancient Mine."
"I see."
The Primordial Beginning Holy Lord immediately went down to make arrangements.
During their brief stay at Taichu Mountain, Lu Changsheng and the others learned of the troubles the Taichu Sacred Land was facing.
Primordial Ancient Mine, one of the Forbidden Grounds of the Immortal Realm, rich in ancient ores.
Many of the most precious treasures, Dao Artifacts, and Emperor Weapons in the Immortal Realm are made from materials sourced from Primordial Ancient Mines.
But why would the Primordial Ancient Mine show signs of activity at this time?
"Lu Changsheng, our Taichu Sacred Land, which is at the God King Realm and above, is short-handed. Would you be willing to help us explore the source of the vibrations deep within the Primordial Ancient Mine?"
The Exiled Sword Immortal, now Great Perfection God King, invited Lu Changsheng to explore the Primordial Ancient Mine together.
Lu Changsheng's sect has more than 10 disciples who are at the God King Realm.
If Lu Changsheng agrees, Xia Ningxue probably won't stand idly by.
"Primordial Ancient Mine..."
Lu Changsheng had long heard of this Forbidden Grounds area in the Immortal Realm.
The Primordial Ancient Mine is rumored to be the source of mineral veins in the Three Realms. Although it is fraught with danger, its mineral deposits are incredibly rich. The Five Great Innate Sacred Lands have been mining for hundreds of millions of years, but they have only mined the shallow layers of ore in the Primordial Ancient Mine.
As for the depths of the Primordial Ancient Mine, even the Elders of the Taichu Sacred Land at the God King Realm dared not venture deep into it.
Because the Primordial Ancient Mine is rich in mineral deposits and has always been controlled by the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands, the other Holy Lands do not know much about the Primitive Primordial Ancient Mine, only that it is rich in various rare Artifact Refining materials.
This is an opportunity to explore Primordial Ancient Mines.
Even if they break off a few pieces of ore along the way, the Taichu Sacred Land probably won't mind, since Lu Changsheng is helping them investigate the source of the anomaly.
"Senior Shi, what do you think?"
Lu Changsheng asked Shi Niandao for his opinion.
Shi Niandao is Great Expert and one of the strongest in the Taihua Sacred Ground.
It would be much safer if Shi Niandao went along.
After all, the depths of Primordial Ancient Mines are fraught with danger.
Shi Niandao stroked his beard and said, "Since our Taihua Sacred Ground is temporarily safe, Taichu Sacred Land is experiencing unusual changes, we might as well help them find out the source of the disturbance."
Zhu Xinguang rubbed his hands excitedly. "I never thought I'd have the chance to explore this mysterious Primordial Ancient Mine. Legend has it that the main materials for the 'Taihua Divine Parasol' and 'Star-Tear Sword,' the treasures of the Taihua Goddess who founded our Taihua Sacred Ground, both came from this Primordial Ancient Mine."
Since both Shi Niandao and Zhu Xinguang, two powerful figures from the Holy Land, have agreed to enter the Primordial Ancient Mine to explore, Lu Changsheng no longer needs to worry about much.
Lu Changsheng decided to help the Taichu Sacred Land, and Xia Ningxue and the group from the Moon Palace also entered the Primordial Ancient Mine.
The entrance to the Primordial Ancient Mine is located underground in Taichu Mountain, and is jointly guarded by the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands.
Each of the Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji has a powerful figure stationed at the entrance to prevent outsiders from intruding.
Disciples from Five Great Innate Sacred Lands are mining there.
The Primordial Ancient Mine trembled, and for the safety of their disciples, the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands all withdrew, with Elders at the God King Realm and above leading Immortal Emperor Realm disciples into the Primordial Ancient Mine to investigate the source of the anomaly.
The interior of the Primordial Ancient Mine is extremely vast and complex. In addition, there are many veins rich in Spiritual Qi within High Antiquity mine, which affect the Divine Sense perception of Xiuzhenzhe. Even Great Expert of the Second Ancestor level cannot perceive the entire ancient mine, especially the activity deep within it, with his powerful Divine Sense.
In addition, the Second Ancestor and the Third Ancestor were to be stationed at Taichu Mountain to guard against attacks from the Demon Venerable and the Demon God.
They will only intervene once the Elders find the source of the vibrations in the Primordial Ancient Mine.
The entrance to the Primordial Ancient Mine is a deep abyss, a full 100,000 feet wide and bottomless, inspiring awe and fear.
Lu Changsheng and his group followed the Elders of the Taichu Sacred Land, including the Exiled Sword Immortal, as they rode their Immortal Swords into the Primordial Ancient Mine, where a wild and untamed aura greeted them.
The Primordial Ancient Mine was so deep and dark, with countless passages, that light could hardly penetrate it. So, at intervals, there were imprisoned Spirit Fires for illumination.
The grand scale of the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands amazed even Lu Changsheng.
However, considering the benefits that the Primordial Ancient Mines brought to the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands, these investments are nothing.
"The danger of Primordial Ancient Mines lies in the fact that some deposits contain astonishing spiritual energy, which attracts a group of Primordial Era Demon Beasts lurking underground."
"Furthermore, the earth is filled with magma, and there are also top-grade Spirit Fire that roam freely between heaven and earth, capable of burning even Great Expert to ashes."
"We will be exploring separately later, so please be careful. If you encounter any danger, you can use Talisman to call for help."
The Exiled Sword Immortal distributed Talisman to everyone.
At the bottom of the Primordial Ancient Mine, there are hundreds of main passages and countless smaller paths.
"Could that be a Fifteenth Grade Artifact Refining material— Primordial Fire Sand!"
A Taihua Sacred Ground Elder exclaimed in surprise.
Rare materials like Primordial Fire Sand can be found everywhere at the entrance of one of the passages.
Before even entering the true interior of the Primordial Ancient Mine, they had already encountered Fifteenth Grade Artifact Refining materials.
I can't even imagine what kind of Artifact Refining materials are inside.
There are 365 main passages at the bottom. Taihua Sacred Ground is divided into three teams, led by Shi Niandao, Zhu Xinguang, and Lu Changsheng respectively.
After hundreds of millions of years of excavation by the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands, these passages are intricate and complex. Since the Taihua Sacred Ground, Moon Palace, Purple Void Palace and other Holy Lands are not familiar with the Primordial Ancient Mines, each team is equipped with an Elder from the Taichu Sacred Land as a guide.
The Exiled Sword Immortal and Lu Changsheng are in the same team.
"Star River Sand!"
Lu Changsheng saw a flowing river in the Primordial Ancient Mine, and there were even specks of Star River Sand on the riverbed.
The Eighteenth Grade Artifact Refining material "Star River Sand" is not a rare item even in the depths of Primordial Ancient Mines.
If I find any rare Artifact Refining materials, I'll reward my Disciple...
