As the shuttle slowly advanced, Chen Jue could clearly sense the concentration of Primordial Qi in the passage steadily rising.
Although this concentration was so faint as to be almost imperceptible compared with Second Home, finding somewhere on Earth that could provide Primordial Qi so steadily was exceedingly rare and valuable.

He had discovered that the passage was not level, but sloped at an extremely slight angle.

After the shuttle had traveled several kilometers, an underground laboratory covering nearly ten thousand square meters appeared before Chen Jue.
