”What on earth is in here? If it can’t be put into a Storage Bag, does it mean that there is something alive inside?”

Deep within a mountain on the wasteland, Qin Tian found a clearing among the rubble. Standing on the grassy plain, he faced an ancient bronze-colored boulder and started to fret.

The bronze color was coated on; essentially, this base was just a large stone block.

Strangely enough, it’s said that this base was excavated from a deep pit along with a statue of an ancient beast, yet the bronze color of this stone is preserved impeccably.

Qin Tian studied the stone, experimenting with his Divine Sense and True Qi for a long while. Apart from sensing some movement inside, he didn’t gain any useful information.

”Should I strike open the stone to take a look?”

Now, Qin Tian was pondering this question, as it was the only method to uncover the stone’s secret.

”Damn it, I don’t have any other solution now; surely, I can’t take it back to the Imperial City, can I?”

Without any alternatives, Qin Tian summoned the Red Sword, ready to try and split the stone.

Clang!

The red glow flashed, with one strike, sparks flew, yet the stone only showed a sword mark.

”Hiss... My Red Sword is a Divine Artifact, and it’s this hard?”

Looking at the shallow sword mark, Qin Tian scratched his head.

What he did was merely a test; now, he took a deep breath, the Red Sword gleamed red again as he struck down once more!

Clang!

This time, the massive boulder lost a significant chunk.

Believing that the center of the stone might hold a treasure, Qin Tian avoided striking the core, each sword slash creating bursts of sparks. In no time, the originally large rectangular stone had been reduced to an irregular oval.

”Darn it, still nothing inside?”

Looking at the stone’s surroundings, Qin Tian felt a bit speechless and frustrated.

However, when he expanded his Divine Sense, he could still sense the response, stronger than before, within the stone.

”Seems like I have to continue.”

Carefully, Qin Tian wielded the Red Sword.

He failed to notice the sky, once clear, gradually dimming unnoticed.

Clang, clang, clang...

With Qin Tian waving the Red Sword, the sky grew darker, and as the stone became smaller, the noon sky took on a dusk-like feel!

Dense clouds covered the sky, with an eerie aura roving above Qin Tian!

This massive change naturally caught Qin Tian’s attention.

He glanced around at the weather, feeling a hint of uneasiness.

”Could it be that the Tian Qi is responding to this stone? What’s in there, really?”

Watching the cloud-covered sky, Qin Tian felt a shiver in his heart.

Uncertain what ancient thing had been unearthed from below, Qin Tian feared the possibility of facing an ancient monster beyond his abilities.

”Amitabha, hopefully, it’s a treasure.”

Already at work for now, Qin Tian hesitated but decided not to give up. While staying vigilant of his surroundings, he continued to wield the Red Sword, slowly exposing the stone’s central part.

When Qin Tian reduced the stone to just its center, he raised the sword, noticing a disturbance inside, he immediately laid down the Red Sword and moved closer.

”Hiss...”

At the stone’s core, Qin Tian saw a hollow space, face basin-sized!

”Hmm?”

As Qin Tian moved closer to inspect, he noticed the spherical space contained a uniformly green mist floating around!

The mist was an eerie aura akin to smoke!

”That’s it!”

At that moment, Qin Tian’s Divine Sense was exceedingly clear; the entity establishing contact with his Divine Sense appeared to be this aura!

Boom!

A sudden thunderclap resonated from the sky, followed by gathering clouds and rain descending.

Qin Tian fixed his eyes on the green aura, watching it shift within the spherical space and drift outward.

”What exactly is this thing?”

After all the effort, all that’s within the stone is just a green aura?

Qin Tian felt rather disappointed.

Yet instinctively, he recognized an unusual nature for something excavated from deep underground, even if merely an aura, it might be remnants or will of an ancient master?

Should it be a Cultivation Method, Qin Tian would be overjoyed.

With that thought emerging, Qin Tian attempted to insert the Red Sword into the spherical space, hoping to establish a connection with the green aura.

Pop!

As the Red Sword entered the spherical space, Qin Tian heard an eerie sound, reminiscent of breaking glass!

”This spherical space actually has a True Qi Barrier seal?”

Qin Tian paused, realizing the Red Sword had shattered the invisible barrier.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, in the sky, torrential rain and flashes of lightning surged!

Qin Tian’s heart pounded wildly!

An inexplicable tension enveloped him!

At the same time, his Dan Tian Qi Sea was experiencing turmoil, True Qi roiling within as though startled by an immense power!

”Damn, what’s happening... hiss.”

Unexpectedly, Qin Tian found himself drenched in cold sweat!

Boom...

Thunder roared, lightning struck fiercely, pouring rain cascaded down!

Qin Tian saw the green aura, following the Red Sword’s entry into the spherical space, gradually curling into a sphere, becoming stationary like a green marble!

”What the heck is this?”

Curiosity driving him, Qin Tian widened his eyes and leaned his head closer, noticing the green sphere had an odd shape...

Roar!

Suddenly, as Qin Tian brought his head closer, a sound erupted!

A roar echoing a ferocious beast’s howl!

And before Qin Tian could react, the green sphere shot towards him as swiftly as lightning!

Qin Tian, wary, saw the sphere coming and immediately dodged!

Yet he was too slow!

The green sphere, in less than a split second, pierced through Qin Tian’s forehead!

Roar!

Boom!

The beastly howls continued, resonating from within his body!

Meanwhile, the sky filled with thunder and lightning! Rain fiercely poured!

Bang, bang, bang!

Boom, boom, boom!

Bolts of lightning directly struck from above!

At this moment, Qin Tian felt entirely out of control, as nine green lightning bolts struck his head!

Roar!

Lightning pierced the crown of his head, the green aura engulfed Qin Tian’s vision, as within a massive True Qi beast stormed into his mind, plunging directly into his Dan Tian Qi Sea!

Qin Tian’s entire being buzzed, his body and mind utterly uncontrollable!

With a clang!

He collapsed directly down!
