Chapter 1000: Space Origin Crystals At Last

Gradually, the terrain began to change. The drill truck, which was originally inclined downwards, gradually turned straight down, emitting a buzzing sound from the front. The surrounding area began to be scattered with gravel.
Lan Xuanyu and the others had to release their soul power to block the gravel. The front end of the drill truck was actually designed to lead the vehicle underground in a straight line? Deep into the ground?
Well, they didn't even need Tang Yuge's Five Elements Escape Technique to go deep, they could just follow this drill truck and continue to descend.
However, Tang Yuge's Five Elements Escape Technique also had its limits. If they went too deep underground, she herself would not be able to bear the consumption.
Soon, Lan Xuanyu’s group of four began to show expressions of shock on their faces, as they clearly felt that they had already descended several kilometers deep into the ground. However, there was no sign of the drill truck slowing down. It continued to descend without interruption. As it passed through, it left behind a channel, but the surrounding gravel still naturally gathered together, and the surface was not even.
Tang Yuge communicated with Lan Xuanyu through the communication system of their protective suits: "I have found various rare metals, but they are relatively mixed. In addition to Azure Gestation Copper and Magic Silver, there are metals such as Essence Gold and Starstone. The purity is not high. The amount of earth elements is increasing."
At this moment, suddenly, Lan Xuanyu's Spiritual Sea trembled, and then the voice of the Treasure Seeking Beast rang in his mind.
"Master, there's something good, something good. I seem to have sensed it. It's a familiar scent, definitely a familiar scent." Its voice trembled slightly.
Lan Xuanyu asked, "Can you tell what it is?"
The Treasure Seeking Beast immediately replied, "I can not determine what it is, but I can be sure that it is a familiar scent. I once knew it in the Divine Realm. The spatial fluctuations have also increased. It may be a treasure from the Divine Realm. The Divine Realm that you once ruled."
Lan Xuanyu's face showed a look of surprise. Was there a treasure from the Divine Realm on Planet Seventy-Six? Could it be a fragment of the Divine Realm?
The drill truck continued to move downwards, but its speed began to slow down, indicating that they were nearing their destination. From the time they started drilling until now, they had likely gone more than three kilometers underground.
At this moment, not just Lan Xuanyu, but the other three as well, felt their heartbeats accelerate. They had all noticed the silver light emanating from the surrounding walls of the tunnel. The dense fluctuations of space elements distorted everything around them. Although this was not yet the location of the Space Origin Crytall, everything here, including the soil, was permeated with space elements. The implications were already evident. They were about to reach the location of the Space Origin Crystal.
"There's a powerful presence. Master, conceal your aura," the Treasure Seeking Beast suddenly reminded them urgently.
Lan Xuanyu quickly informed his companions, and the four of them gathered together, trying their best to conceal their aura under the illusion of the Treasure Seeking Beast. The drill truck began to slow down, and suddenly, the path ahead widened, causing the drill truck to slow down and emit a creaking sound.
The surroundings were completely covered in a silvery-white world, and the rich spatial fluctuations made it feel like being inside a wormhole, but the spatial fluctuations here were much softer than those of a wormhole.
This was a huge cave, and Lan Xuanyu dared not release his spiritual power to perceive it, and could only look up secretly to observe.
On the walls around him, there were crystal formations emitting charming silver halos, each crystal not very large, but containing spatial fluctuations that were almost tangible. Or rather, it was condensed from substantial space elements.
Although he had never really seen a Space Origin Crystal before, Lan Xuanyu could be certain that this was a Space Origin Crystal!
There were an extremely large number of Space Origin Crystals inside the cave, with at least thousands of them. The largest one was as big as a human head, and the smallest one was as big as a fist.
Inside the cave, several drill trucks had already been parked, and there were specialized personnel responsible for unloading the vehicles and moving the Magic Silver off of them. Lan Xuanyu soon discovered the threat that the Treasure Seeking Beast had spoken of, which was a particularly tall and burly member of the
Spaceborne Clan.
Compared to ordinary members of the Spaceborne Clan who were only about 1.5 meters tall, he was over three meters tall. What was even more terrifying was that he had eight arms. From the perspective of human aesthetics, the appearance of the Spaceborne member was quite ugly. But just standing there, the energy fluctuations emanating from his body gave a chilling feeling.
The tall member of the Spaceborne Clan sat cross-legged on a flat stone inside the cave. Four of his eight arms were clasped together above his head, while the other four were folded in front of him. It looked as if he was meditating.
Lan Xuanyu suddenly thought of a possibility. Could the training of the Spaceborne Clan’s members rely on the space element fluctuations of the Space Origin Crystal? This was why they could become very powerful.
Undoubtedly, the Spaceborne Clan’s experts were probably particularly proficient in spatial abilities, which would be very difficult to deal with. Once discovered, it would be difficult to escape, even with the use of Dragon's Fury. Escaping would no't be that easy.
Without Lan Xuanyu's prompting, the Treasure Seeking Beast had already activated its illusion ability to the fullest extent, using its divine sense to cover the four of them.
Soon, Lan Xuanyu and his group discovered a peculiar place, to be precise, it was the help of the Spaceborne Clan that led them to it.
After the Magic Silver on the drill truck was unloaded, it was moved onto small carts and pushed to a particular location. It was the entrance to a cave, appearing to be slightly over one meter high and less than two meters tall, just enough for ordinary Spaceborne people to crawl into. The cave emitted a faint silver halo, and the space elements in that direction were the most concentrated.
Lan Xuanyu waved his hand lightly and walked over there carefully.
Although there were countless Space Origin Crystals in the cave, they didn't dare to act rashly with that powerful Spaceborne person guarding the area. At least, he was a God-level powerhouse, possibly even a True God-level powerhouse. If they were exposed, they would be trapped in the depths of the underground, unable to escape even if they wanted to.
When they arrived at the cave entrance, they did not rush in but waited. Although they were currently invisible, what if they encountered a Spaceborne person transporting Magic Silver in the narrow cave?
After waiting for a while, the Spacebornes who had previously transported the Magic Silver had come out. The small cart was empty, obviously indicating that the Magic Silver had been delivered inside.
In his mind, Lan Xuanyu thought to himself that this was where the Space Origin Crystals were located. Although Magic Silver was precious, it paled in comparison to Space Origin Crystals! Why would they transport Magic Silver here? It shouldn't be for storage. Storing Magic Silver outside would be much more convenient, so why go so deep underground? There must be a reason for this. Still not in a hurry to enter, he wanted to figure out how often the Spaceborne transported Magic Silver or if they would transport all the Magic Silver from the drill truck inside.
To their surprise, the drill truck only pushed in one cart of Magic Silver and didn't continue to transport any more. Instead, they unloaded the remaining Magic Silver and placed it in a corner. Then the Spaceborne people on the drill truck bowed to the tall Spaceborne person and returned the same way they came.
The cave became quiet, and only then did Lan Xuanyu shift his attention to the other Spaceborne people here. He immediately noticed something special.
The members of the Spaceborne working here were relatively tall, and most of them had around six arms instead of four, and possessed a strong aura. From observation, it could be inferred that the strength of individual members of the Spaceborne Clan was likely related to the number of arms they have. The more arms they had and the taller they were, the stronger they were likely to be. This further confirmed in the mind of Lan Xuanyu that this underground cave containing the Space Origin Crystals was suitable for the Spaceborne Clan to practice in, and the abundant space elements allowed the clan members to quickly improve their strength. Therefore, only outstanding members of the clan were allowed to come here for cultivation, just like how soul masters go to the Eternal Sky City in Shrek Academy for cultivation.
