Mystic Sun Gold Soul (Seeking Follows)

"Understood, Master. Detector No. 1 has been activated. It will provide an immediate alert if any powerful individuals approach within a radius of 300 million kilometers or if any unexpected situations arise. Detector No. 2 has already shielded the surrounding signals," Pato replied solemnly.

Qin Cang's words were already clear enough; there was a high probability of trouble here. In matters concerning safety, one could never be too careful.

"Captain, how do we go down?" Qin Cang asked, while simultaneously surveying the small island.

Judging solely by the detection results, this was just an ordinary island. Even his own detectors could not find any information regarding ruins here. If not for Kailun's absolute certainty that this was the location of the Machine Race treasure, no one would stay on this island for long.

If his detectors could not pick up any information, there were only two possibilities. The first was that the Machine Race detector was extremely advanced, shielding all information in the vicinity; the purpose of small detectors was precisely to be immune to the scanning of other devices.

The second possibility was that this Machine Race individual had achieved an extremely high level of mastery in spatial secret techniques, folding and hiding the space in this area. Furthermore, their concealment methods were so sophisticated that even the detector he had spent a large sum of money to purchase could not detect a thing.

Regardless of which possibility it was, it was not good news for Qin Cang.

The worst-case scenario was that both situations existed simultaneously.

"According to my memory, the entrance is 30,000 kilometers beneath the waters surrounding this island. If nothing goes wrong, we should enter from there," Kailun replied.

30,000 kilometers?

What is this Machine Race individual thinking? 30,000 kilometers—in a place like the Star Sea Region, what is the difference between that and being on the surface? Or perhaps, did they intend for people to enter and inherit their legacy, yet why hide it here? Qin Cang pondered, unable to fathom the Machine Race individual's intentions.

Why think so much? I'll take it one step at a time. I don't believe that the precautions left behind by a mere Marquis could cause me to suffer a major loss, Qin Cang thought. Whether it was his strength or his hidden trump cards, generally speaking, this mere Machine Race treasure posed no threat to him. Why should he overthink it?

"Captain, there is no time to lose. Let's go in. Have Lan Ying and the others enter your space ring; the two of us will go ahead to scout the path," Qin Cang arranged.

It was better to obtain the treasure as soon as possible. The longer they dragged it out, the more disadvantageous it would be for their group. Who knew what kind of traps the Machine Race individual had set?

"You are right. Let's go. Follow me. Lan Ying, Lie Feng, Kuin, Gu Shi, you four enter my space ring. You can come out once we confirm there is no danger." Kailun also understood that speed was the essence of war; this matter should not be delayed.

"Yes, Captain!"

The four had no objections and entered Kailun's space ring. With ten thousand years of camaraderie, they trusted each other absolutely.

"Let's go, Captain. I'm right behind you."

Hearing this, Kailun said nothing more and dove directly into the sea, with Qin Cang following closely behind.

The distance of 30,000 kilometers was nothing to Qin Cang and Kailun; they could reach it in an instant, no different from taking two steps.

Thirty thousand kilometers beneath the surface, the scene here was completely different from the surface. The island was a flat stretch of land, yet beneath the water, there were countless strange plants growing, and native species of the Star Sea Region were thriving here. Twenty thousand years was enough for many changes to occur.

"Look, that's it," Kailun pointed in a direction.

Qin Cang followed the direction Kailun pointed. At first glance, it didn't seem any different, but after a few more looks, Qin Cang discovered the discrepancy.

"That place is constantly devouring the seawater," Qin Cang said. This was the biggest difference; the seawater simply vanished into thin air upon reaching that spot, as if it were connected to another end that could never be filled. He just didn't know where the seawater was actually going.

"Exactly. The spatial secret technique here has completely altered the surroundings. It seems to be a space fold, and the legacy of the Machine Race is hidden within this folded space.

The seawater flows along this opening into that folded space, then flows back out. By following this channel, we can enter that space directly," Kailun explained.

Clearly, as he had said, he had been here countless times and had thoroughly mapped out the situation, only to be unable to enter due to a lack of strength.

"Let's go. Don't pay too much attention to it. I've been here many times; there's no danger," Kailun said before heading straight toward the opening.

Qin Cang followed behind Kailun, also observing the spatial secret technique in the vicinity, trying to gauge the specific strength of the Machine Race individual from this technique.

The spatial secret technique focuses mainly on concealment, which fits the combat style of the Machine Race—hiding the main body outside while dispatching one mechanical puppet after another and using mechanical weapons to fight.

Precisely because of this, the Machine Race puts a lot of effort into hiding their main bodies. Some even go so far that one cannot find the location of their main body even after being completely trapped by the Machine Race powerhouse's mechanical puppet army. This fallen individual clearly put a lot of effort into hiding their main body as well.

It's just that this concealment method was ultimately used to hide their legacy, and it wasn't even hidden well. Could it be because their injuries were too severe? That would have prevented them from executing a complete concealment technique.

Otherwise, given Kailun's strength and mastery of laws, even if this Machine Race individual had disappeared right in front of him, Kailun wouldn't have been able to find where they were hiding, Qin Cang thought to himself. Everything here exuded a sense of eeriness.

Although his current realm was only that of a World Lord, he had long since cleared the 18th floor of the Sky Bridge, and his comprehension of laws was comparable to a King Immortal. Naturally, he could see that the Machine Race individual's concealment methods were riddled with flaws. Otherwise, how could Kailun, an Immortal Military Lord who practiced the Law of Wind and the Law of Time, have discovered this place?

It was simply that this place was too remote, and the Star Sea Region was vast, which was why no one else was wandering around here. Otherwise, this place would have been raided by the gangs in the Star Sea Region long ago.

Following Kailun through a void, the scenery before them changed instantly. The seawater of the Star Sea Region had been clear and transparent, faintly emitting a deep blue light, but within this space, everything had changed.

Upon entering this space, the first thing that met their eyes was a golden pyramid. In Qin Cang's observation, this pyramid was divided into roughly three levels, reaching a height of over ten kilometers. It was entirely golden-yellow and completely submerged in water. Even in front of this golden pyramid, the seawater was stained with a layer of golden halo.

"F9-grade metal, Mystic Sun Gold Soul! This entire pyramid is actually made of Mystic Sun Gold Soul! We're rich, we're rich! Master, just this Mystic Sun Gold Soul alone, I estimate it could sell for tens of millions of Hunyuan Units," Pato's voice exclaimed. Having just experienced the penniless Sky Wolf, this pyramid alone could sell for tens of millions of Hunyuan just by dismantling it for parts. How valuable must the things inside be?

"Alright, don't make such a fuss. We've barely started. Once your master enters this pyramid and takes out the good stuff inside, that will be the real fortune. It's just a bit of F9-grade metal; don't embarrass me in the future with your excitement."

Although he said that, Qin Cang was also secretly pleased to see so much Mystic Sun Gold Soul. Just the outer shell of the "tomb" was built with this stuff; this Machine Race individual was definitely wealthy enough, and he could consider this a massive windfall.

"Captain, let's start directly," Qin Cang reminded.

Kailun nodded and immediately took out the Fire God Source Crystal.
