The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2189: Chapter 2189: Ore Veins [Second Update]

Ke Zun was initially thinking of continuing to mock Lu Chun, but at this moment, his entire body suddenly tensed up, his gaze blazing as he stared at the bottom of the massive ravine that was hundreds of meters deep.

Not only was Ke Zun in this state, but Lu Chun was the same. Previously, he was holding a ball of anger in his heart. After encountering Ke Zun and being ridiculed by him, he needed to vent, so he used Divine Power to attack the ground once in a rage. This unintended outburst ended up producing an astonishing result.

Yes, extremely astonishing, leaving people stunned.

At the bottom of the ravine, hundreds of meters deep, was unexpectedly a Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein. Hidden within the rock, entirely dark red, was a large number of Netherworld Crystal Stones.

Ke Zun and Lu Chun, both came back to their senses, exchanged glances, and exhaled a breath. Both of their eyes were filled with deep vigilance and murderous intent, clearly wanting to eliminate the other. However, neither made a move because they both knew that with their strength, neither could kill the other alone.

“Fellow Daoist Lu Chun, this Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein was discovered by the two of us together.” Ke Zun was the first to speak.

“Fellow Daoist Ke Zun, this vein was unearthed by my blow to the ground.” Lu Chun said in a cold voice.

“Hmph, I discovered this vein below even before you struck. Otherwise, why would I be standing here?” Ke Zun said with a cold snort.

In fact, he hadn’t previously detected the Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein hidden hundreds of meters underground. With his Divine Soul Power, it was very difficult to probe hundreds of meters deep underground. If he fully unleashed his Divine Soul Power, he might have been able to do it, but he couldn’t sustain it for long.

In the vast Yellow Spring Cave, maintaining Divine Thought to probe hundreds of meters deep was a pipe dream. Such a thing is simply impossible.

Ke Zun actually returned because he saw Lu Chun. His real purpose, of course, was for the Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein.

“Ridiculous, you think I’ll believe you?” Lu Chun sneered.

He didn’t want to share this Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein with Ke Zun.

“Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. Fellow Daoist Lu Chun, if you want to take this vein for yourself, that’s impossible. If you forcefully act, I will certainly stop you. At that point, if we both engage in a fight, the outcome will be uncertain. You, from the Mystic Moon Trading House, are the only one who entered the Yellow Spring Cave, while from my Shadow Tower, there are two of us inside this cave.”

“I’m not threatening you, but let’s say even if my Shadow Tower doesn’t bully you with more people, if others are drawn here, do you think they would remain indifferent to this Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein? At that point, how much do you think you could take away, Fellow Daoist Lu Chun? Haha…” Ke Zun squinted his eyes and spoke in a light but serious tone.

Lu Chun’s eyes flickered, his mind racing. Although he was extremely reluctant to share this vein with Ke Zun, Ke Zun certainly had a point. His strength might be slightly stronger than Ke Zun’s, but he couldn’t completely suppress Ke Zun. With Ke Zun’s interference, trying to claim this vein was nearly impossible.

As Ke Zun said, if the two engaged in a prolonged fight, it might attract other cultivators who entered the high-level Yellow Spring Cave. The more people that arrived, the more troublesome it would be.

“Ke Zun, what do you propose?” Lu Chun stared at Ke Zun.

“Fellow Daoist Lu Chun, let’s not waste time. We’ll split this vein in half, each taking half.” Ke Zun said with a twinkle in his eye.

“In your dreams! I unearthed this vein, and you did nothing yet want to take half? How shameless of you to say such a thing.” Lu Chun’s eyes turned red, as if he wanted to devour Ke Zun alive.

He didn’t believe Ke Zun’s earlier words about having discovered the Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein beforehand. It was all nonsense to him.

“Fellow Daoist Lu Chun, you can disagree with my proposal, and we can stall and wait slowly. Haha, let other cultivators come, and we can discuss it again then.” Ke Zun spoke casually.

Relatively speaking, the one who should be anxious is Lu Chun. The Mystic Moon Trading House has only Lu Chun in here, and if a melee breaks out, Lu Chun will definitely suffer.

Lu Chun gnashing his teeth, looked at Ke Zun, his teeth making a grinding sound.

But he had no better solution. The longer he delayed, the more unfavorable it was for him.

“You win!” Lu Chun eventually agreed to Ke Zun’s distribution plan.

They each took half of the Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein.

“I knew Fellow Daoist Lu Chun was a sensible person. Even if it’s a small vein, the amount of Netherworld Crystal Stone it contains is considerable. Each of us taking half, we still get a lot. So, I’ll divide the vein from the middle, and let Fellow Daoist Lu Chun choose one half first, and I’ll take the other half.” Ke Zun said with a smile.

Lu Chun reluctantly nodded.

“Hmm?”

“There are two people over there!”

Jing Yan was flying in the boundless yellow sands when his gaze shifted slightly, and his Divine Thought detected two presences.

“I don’t know who they are, the sensation is still a bit faint.” Jing Yan increased his flight speed.

Very soon, his Divine Thought clearly saw the appearance of those two people.

“It’s them!” Jing Yan frowned slightly.

“What’s that? A mineral vein? A Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein?” Jing Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

Having been in the Yellow Spring Cave for several months, he had explored a considerable range and occasionally investigated the underground, but had found no Netherworld Crystal Stone Veins.

“These two fellows are really fortunate to have discovered a Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein! Even a small vein, this trip into the Yellow Spring Cave wasn’t in vain for them.” Jing Yan murmured.

Truth be told, Jing Yan would be lying if he said he wasn’t envious of others finding the Netherworld Crystal Stone Vein.

“Who?” Ke Zun was in the middle of separating the vein, with Lu Chun watching from the side, when he suddenly sensed someone approaching and shouted.

At this time, Lu Chun’s nerves were a bit tense, and the last thing he wanted was for other cultivators to approach, yet here someone came.

“Crack!” With a heavy sound, Ke Zun had already split the vein from the middle, breaking the once continuous ridge into two sections.

Ke Zun, hearing Lu Chun’s inquiry, also reacted and quickly spread his Divine Thought to the approaching figure.

“Fellow Daoist Jing Yan?” Ke Zun saw that the person arriving was Jing Yan.

“It’s you, little bastard!” Lu Chun, glaring at the approaching Jing Yan, cursed.

Before entering the Yellow Spring Cave, the Inspector Ao Hong of the Mystic Moon Trading House had secretly instructed Lu Chun to kill Jing Yan on sight inside the Yellow Spring Cave.
