Deep within the Ancient Mine, Jun Moxiao and Little Pagoda had waited for a day when Shi Hao pushed open the doors of the Ancient Hall and walked out.
Little Pagoda asked, "You finished so quickly?"
Shi Hao said, "I'd already learned the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art, but since our ancestors left it behind, I had to accept their kindness and let them lay their lingering attachments to rest. The figures of those six great kings disappeared afterward. I also witnessed one great battle after another from the Immortal Ancient Era, and in a corner of the Ancient Hall, I saw what had happened in the Primordial Ancient Mine."
Jun Moxiao said, "The Primordial Ancient Mine is older than the Immortal Ancient Era. The word 'primordial' alone should tell you how ancient it is."
Shi Hao said, "That's what I thought too. I saw several pictures. The first showed people digging all sorts of immortal gold and divine materials out of the Primordial Ancient Mine. The second recorded strange happenings in the mine, with people dying mysterious deaths inside. The third showed people encountering a great terror while excavating the Ancient Mine, after which they filled it in and sealed it."
Jun Moxiao said, "Those records were only made later. The Primordial Ancient Mine originally existed long before Immortal Ancient. Later, this place became a battlefield. You should have heard that darkness already existed in an even older era before the Emperorfall Era. Countless mighty figures died on this battlefield, and their resentment formed terrifying creatures, much like the No Man's Land we visited before."
Shi Hao said, "So that's how it was. Let's head out now. The Heavenly Deity Academy probably knows about us by now."
Jun Moxiao said, "They're already waiting for us on Primeval Star."
