Only My Way

Fifteen hundred meters underground.

Although it wasn't a big problem.

But as Ling Wuyuan continued to delve deeper into the earth.

Gradually, he could perceive that the surrounding soil and rocks were becoming increasingly difficult to dig through.

At this moment, the surrounding soil, in terms of texture, already had a hardness similar to wood, and it was a relatively hard wood, no longer soft!

Even this hardness didn't make much difference to Ling Wuyuan compared to the beginning.

However, if the digger were replaced by an ordinary person, even if they had digging tools such as hoes and shovels, they would probably have to work their lives out to barely dig through the soil here.

Digging for a day and a night wouldn't even cover two or three meters!

Moreover.

As Ling Wuyuan continued to delve deeper underground, that phenomenon became increasingly obvious.

He believed that if he continued to dig down another one or two thousand meters, the soil deep underground might become as hard as hundred-refined steel or thousand-refined steel…

Regarding this phenomenon.

Although Ling Wuyuan was a little curious about the principle behind it.

Generally speaking, he wasn't too surprised.

Because a long time ago, through many related books, he had already known about the existence of this situation in advance.

In this world.

This is a perfectly normal natural phenomenon.

Therefore, in this world, the so-called underground mines are often not too deep underground.

It's not that there are no resources to be mined underground.

But simply that it's impossible to dig.

Impossible to dig in the literal sense…

After digging to a certain depth.

Not to mention those ordinary people.

Even cultivators would scratch their heads.

Furthermore.

There are many strange things in the underground.

In the historical records of various places.

Related matters are mentioned from time to time.

For example: a certain unlucky person dug up some extremely dangerous creatures or items, causing the entire mine or even the entire nearby area to become a dead zone!!

The situation had a kind of beauty where one might dig up two flying zombies on the spot with a casual hoe…

Therefore.

At this moment.

Compared to the problem of the soil becoming increasingly difficult to dig.

Ling Wuyuan was more concerned about other things.

For example, just now, he once again sensed a certain strangeness.

It was still the same feeling as popping a bubble…

This time, because Ling Wuyuan was already mentally prepared for the matter, he had a deeper understanding of the changes.

After carefully recalling the relevant feelings and recalling the various books he had read, Ling Wuyuan frowned and came to a most likely guess:

'Is that some kind of extremely hidden detection barrier?'

As a well-read person.

Although Ling Wuyuan, due to insufficient time, has always focused his development on hard power, and has not conducted too in-depth research on the so-called barriers and formations, he only has a relatively general understanding of the matter through various books.

But combined with his extraordinary perception ability.

He still successfully sensed the truth behind that strange feeling at this moment!

The next moment.

A map with golden light slowly flowing on its surface appeared in Ling Wuyuan's hand.

This was the treasure map he found in the space ring at the 【Azure Lake White Willow Palace】.

Originally.

This thing didn't seem to have anything unusual about it.

It was as if it was just an ancient map made of ordinary animal skin.

But as Ling Wuyuan got closer to the final goal, this thing seemed to be slowly recovering, constantly revealing some brand new content…

Those were some words and graphics that Ling Wuyuan had never seen before.

Of course.

Because Ling Wuyuan had not yet fully dug to the corresponding depth.

Those contents have not yet fully manifested at this time.

So, the content above looks a bit incomplete for the time being, a bit headless and tailless.

And looking at the treasure map in his hand that had already sprouted various changes.

Ling Wuyuan guessed to himself a little puzzled:

'Could it be that those barriers are actually some means left behind by the 【Azure Lake White Willow Palace】?'

Since he had no evidence for the matter, he could only think so.

But.

The next moment.

The next moment when relevant guesses sprouted from his mind.

Ling Wuyuan's instinctive sixth sense, which had been evolved due to the awakening of 【Mastery】, immediately denied that guess!

【Wrong!】

Although there was no evidence.

His sixth sense was still extremely simple and clear, denying that guess on the spot.

That was some kind of unprovoked instinctive judgment, and even more some kind of mysterious judgment of knowing before hearing.

Now, his instinctive premonition.

Very directly told him that something was wrong…

As a person who completely believes in himself.

The latest novels are at Six Nine Books Bar!

After instinctively judging that something was wrong.

Ling Wuyuan did not question his own instinctive premonition.

Instead, he immediately chose to believe in his own mysterious judgment!

In an instant.

The look in his eyes immediately changed!

Becoming more serious and more solemn!!

'Since it's not a method left behind by the 【Azure Lake White Willow Palace】, then… is it a method left behind by the enemies of the 【Azure Lake White Willow Palace】?'

'Has this place been transformed into some kind of trap by the past enemies of the 【Azure Lake White Willow Palace】?'

'Or is it… that the matter has actually involved a third-party force??'

He was a little unsure about the truth of the matter.

In the information he understood.

Four thousand years ago, the main culprits of the destruction of the 【Azure Lake White Willow Palace】 were five other large forces. Currently, four of those forces have already perished one after another, gradually disappearing into the long river of history.

The only remaining force is not within the scope of the 【White Mist Kingdom】, but in the territory of the neighboring country.

The reason why the other party attacked the 【Azure Lake White Willow Palace】 at that time was more to take advantage of the internal strife in the 【Southern Mist Kingdom】 and try to loot while the fire was burning.

According to the historical documents of 【Cloud Ridge Continent】, after looting the things, the other party directly chose to run away on the spot…

Therefore.

Overall, that force should have no reason to leave any backup plans here.

If the other party had discovered the underground secret vault back then.

With the strength of the other party being able to join forces with other forces to destroy the 【Azure Lake White Willow Palace】.

They could completely forcibly open or destroy this underground secret vault.

Leaving two 【detection barriers】 here… it really doesn't make much sense.

Therefore.

After a brief thought.

Ling Wuyuan felt that the greatest possibility of the matter was that other forces or other individuals were involved.

But what kind of force is the other party? Is the other party currently alive or dead?

He couldn't be sure at all.

Perhaps.

Those detection barriers are actually things left behind thousands of years ago, and the person who set them up has already died?

After hesitating slightly.

In the end, Ling Wuyuan chose to dig down.

Dig down faster!

Judging from the fact that the treasure map still has a reaction to the matter.

That underground secret vault left behind by the 【Azure Lake White Willow Palace】 should still exist.

Of course.

Ling Wuyuan can only be sure that the underground secret vault still exists at present.

As for whether the things stored in the underground secret vault are still there or not… Ling Wuyuan doesn't know.

However.

No matter what.

Based on the principle that since he's already here.

Ling Wuyuan certainly has no reason to retreat at the last minute!!

Even if there really is some unknown change.

At worst, let's see the truth in our hands!!

Conspiracy?

Third-party forces?

Hum…

Whoever is strong, wins all!!
