Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Spirit Wave Disk, An Extremely Shocking Discovery
“By the way, it’s best to scout the border areas of the Hardwood Plains,” Ye Feng added at the last minute.
“Understood.”
The disciples nodded and flew toward the edge of the Hardwood Plains.
Ye Feng also flew toward the sky, higher and higher, until he could overlook the entire Hardwood Plains, when he discovered an unexpected phenomenon.
The plains were actually oval-shaped!
Slightly narrower north to south, slightly longer east to west.
As to why it was this way, Ye Feng himself did not know.
“Why do the trees of the Hardwood Plains grow in such a strange manner?” Ye Feng stroked his chin, very curious.
But no one responded to him.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng tried to get information about this super boulder through the scouting feature, but found he could not detect anything.
However, when he looked at the Iron Fir Trees on the ground, there was a reaction.
[Iron Fir Tree: Spirit Material]
[Talent: Hardness, Pest Resistance, Non-decay]
[Note: Originally an ordinary Iron Fir Tree, it mutated into a new species due to absorption of a special substance, with hardness as iron, yet its weight is no different from ordinary wood; an excellent material for constructing Sect Main Halls and towers. The downside is its extreme hardness; it can only be processed using Spiritual Artifacts]
After reading this information, Ye Feng’s eyes flickered.
A special substance?
Could it be that this Hardwood mutated by absorbing some of the power from the boulder deep underground? Ye Feng wondered.
Thinking this, he felt that the boulder underground was even more extraordinary.
Alas, its size was too vast; even now he hadn’t fully grasped how far it extended underground. Perhaps it spread out like a mountain, endless and impossible to take away.
“Sect Leader, I have found the edge of the area!”
Mo Ying sent a message, “I followed the edge of the Hardwood Plains and descended, discovering that the edge of the rock is similar to that of the plains. I’m continuing to sink… Eh, this boulder extends very deep, already over ten miles and still no bottom.”
On hearing this, Ye Feng was secretly astonished.
Then messages from other disciples followed.
“Sect Master Uncle, I’ve also found the edge and am descending.”
“Same here.”
“…”
The disciples responded one after another.
Ye Feng, from high above in the sky, looking down at the vast land, felt the underground of the Hardwood Plains was even more mysterious. Not to mention other treasures, just this boulder buried in the ground was valuable enough.
Because it was hard!
If this thing could be excavated, it would definitely become the foundation for the Misty Sect’s future. Of course, that was just a thought for now, as he still hadn’t determined the size of the boulder.
One hour later.
All the disciples returned to the ground, panting heavily, obviously having overexerted themselves.
Based on the information they provided, Ye Feng used Heroic Spirit Power to control a patch of sand, condensing it into a rough and strange shape.
“This is too crude. You can’t guess what it is at all,” Ye Feng muttered.
“The boulder is so large, and we have too few hands. We could only determine that it extends dozens of miles deep, but as for what it is, we couldn’t make out,” Ji Ziling panted.
This was the aftereffect of excessive energy consumption from using “Earth Escape”. It would take some time to recover.
“Let’s fill up the hole for now!” Ye Feng ordered.
Since they couldn’t find out anything, they might as well not look. After all, the Hardwood Plains belonged to Whitefloat City, and Whitefloat City was secretly under his control. They could always investigate later.
Suddenly, Ye Feng had an idea and secretly thought, “System, can the Refining Furnace create a kind of Spiritual Artifact that can obtain the outline of a target based on vibration feedback?”
“`
“Sure,” the System responded.
Ye Feng hurriedly took out the Refining Furnace, communicated with it through his thoughts, selected more than a dozen refined materials, and eight Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and began forging on the spot.
“What is the Sect Leader going to do now?”
The disciples were all very curious.
Ten minutes later.
[Upgrade Energy: 27.8%]
As the Refining Furnace issued the prompt, the lid flew into the sky, accompanied by a stream of rosy light, and a disc-shaped Spiritual Artifact appeared in everyone’s sight.
[Spirit Wave Disk: Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact]
[Function: A type of Spiritual Artifact capable of emitting unique spirit waves. It emits spirit waves in different directions and obtains the structural information of a vast spatial area based on the feedback.]
[Note: Can be delegated]
Ye Feng grasped the Spirit Wave Disk, very satisfied.
Under the puzzled gazes of the disciples, Ye Feng rose into the air and reached a height of several dozen miles, then activated the Spirit Wave Disk.
Hum!
Countless pale golden spirit waves spread out like a trumpet, falling upon the earth and enveloping an area of a hundred miles within them.
A moment later, Ye Feng saw the following line of text appear on the surface of the Spirit Wave Disk.
[Scouting Progress: 10%]
Seeing this, Ye Feng flew dozens of miles further away and continued scouting.
The disciples stood in place, watching Ye Feng’s enigmatic actions, scratching their heads, not knowing what to say.
After repeating this process more than a dozen times, Ye Feng finally received a prompt that the scouting progress had reached 100%. He returned to the disciples and said indifferently, “Alright, now we can find out what exactly is hidden beneath this land.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng pointed at the surface of the Spirit Wave Disk.
Ding Ling!
An extremely crisp sound rang out.
Numerous light particles appeared on the surface of the Spirit Wave Disk, sketching out a pale white cube, one meter in length, width, and height, in mid-air. Within it, pale golden light began to emerge bit by bit. From top to bottom, it gradually formed an ellipsoid shape.
“It looks like the boulders underground are round.”
“Eh, that’s not right. How come there are two huge indentations in front that look like eye sockets? Is this actually a skull?”
The disciples gradually widened their eyes.
As the pale golden light outlined the complete shape of the underground boulder, everyone discovered that it was a super-sized skull with a diameter close to a hundred miles!
“Holy shit!”
The entire Misty Sect was shocked.
Deep beneath the Hardwood Plains lay a super-sized skull!
“Could this be the remains of some super powerful being?”
“But, with such a size, it couldn’t possibly be of the Human Race. After all, even if a Great Power of the Human Race were to fall, their body size would still be similar to that of an ordinary person.”
“You see, the shape of this skull is similar to that of an ordinary person, so it should belong to a human, but not necessarily an ordinary one. It’s very likely that it belonged to a super giant!”
“For instance… an Ancient Giant God?”
The discussions came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Qiao Jiaxi.
“Why… Why are you looking at me?” Qiao Jiaxi was somewhat nervous.
Ye Feng quickly waved his hands and said, “Jia Xi obtained the powerful Bloodline of the Ancient Giant God by consuming a Spirit Fruit that contained it, but that doesn’t mean he is an Ancient Giant God. So his stature remains that of a normal person.”
After a pause, he added, “As for this super-sized skull buried deep underground, it is very likely the bones of an Ancient Giant God. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so huge and so hard that even an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact couldn’t crack it.”
“Sect Leader, now that we have found the bones of a cultivation predecessor, what should we do?” Jia Yulan asked with some concern.
Would they incur the wrath of the skull’s owner if it still retained a powerful will?
