Li Baoyuan was somewhat surprised when he heard Shen Xiang mention the search for a large ore vein.
"It's not easy to find, many major sects might spend a year or two just searching for one. It's not as simple as it sounds," Li Baoyuan said. "Surely, there are plenty of large medicinal stores but where would you find such a large ore vein"
Shen Xiang had mentioned before that the three domains' talks would commence in a year and they were only preparing for it now, with only a year to prepare.
"Don't worry about it. It's not a difficult task for me," Li Baoyuan reassured him.
He had the Imperial Crystal, so it wouldn't be hard. Moreover, with the tenth heaven's reorganization and abundant resources, he was confident that he could find one within a year.
"I'm going to get a medicinal store in the Medicine City right now. I can handle this based on my strength," Shen Xiang trusted Li Baoyuan and wasn't afraid that he'd take off with the Everlasting Fruit. With them separating ways, both headed towards the Heart of Fire Domain.
The Heart of Fire Domain was vast, with a fiery landscape that covered most of the land. It had been burning for centuries due to the volcanic activity deep within its center. Shen Xiang knew that the rocks in there weren't simple, so he thought it was worth a try near this area.
The Heart of Fire Domain wasn't too far from Medicine City, and if you were high enough in the city, you could see its flames burning brightly by night.
There was a large forest near the Heart of Fire Domain. It was here that Shen Xiang had killed Wolf King Wu and his sons the last time he was there. After arriving, Shen Xiang took out the Imperial Crystal and started wandering randomly around to expand its search range.
He wasn't just participating in the three domains' talks, he wanted to create a sect here.
Here in the tenth heaven, there might come a time where he'd rise again and stand tall among the nine heavens and ten lands. Building his base here would bring many benefits, especially considering how he was now in opposition with many ancient forces. He couldn't rely solely on his strength, unless he had the power of a Ten Heaven Emperor to destroy entire heavens with one hand.
Shen Xiang didn't enter the Heart of Fire Domain and search for ores. Even if he found a large ore vein deep inside, it wouldn't be easy to extract them and if it was truly a large ore vein, it would take many people years to finish extracting it.
He was instead searching around the non-affected mountains near the Heart of Fire Domain, finding it better than aimlessly wandering.
Several days passed and he didn't find anything. While he hadn't found any ores, he did encounter families specializing in searching for ore veins along his way. These were all experienced and well-versed in the methods of mining.
Shen Xiang learned that these families had actually discovered several medium-sized ore veins, but they didn't take them themselves. Instead, they sold these smaller veins to medium-sized sects for a profit. As such, all of them were wealthy.
"It seems that there are plenty of rich ores around this Heart of Fire Domain!"
Shen Xiang stood on top of a mountain with the Imperial Crystal in his hand, despite not having found anything so far, he remained calm. He knew that finding a large ore vein wouldn't happen overnight and wasn't as simple as the experienced families. However, with the Imperial Crystal, he could feel the presence of ores close by.
"Someone's coming It looks like it's those explorers again," Shen Xiang quickly turned into a rock to hide.
This exploration team consisted of around ten people, with five old men having the highest status. These were all white-haired and long-bearded gentlemen serving as protectors to these elders, who were also learning their exploration skills.
"Uncle, the Xia Family found a medium-sized ore vein while we only found small ones. They're far better than us! But why are we still here at this parched area There shouldn't be any veins in such terrain," the middle-aged man muttered to one of these old men leading them.
The elder sneered, "What do you know These are all families specializing in exploration like us, and these old men have sent out their experts to search for the Imperial Crystal. These small veins aren't natural formations but are influenced by external forces!"
"What The Imperial Crystal of Ores" The middle-aged man was surprised. He glanced at the few serious elders and immediately understood why their families would take these old men out of the way.
"It's true. We're all certain where that super-large ore vein is located, but it's a dangerous place. The Imperial Crystal of Ores has grasped the nature laws and used its power to map out a super-big formation underground. It's certain death if you try going in openly," the elder said.
"So, all of our families have been looking for small veins to try and destroy that formation without success," the middle-aged man continued.
Shen Xiang was stunned. He had often listened to the explorers' talks in these days, and only knew that medium-sized ore veins were being discovered around the Heart of Fire Domain. He didn't hear those families mention anything about super-large ore veins before.
"That dangerous place… Could it be the Heart of Fire Domain!" The middle-aged man exclaimed.
Shen Xiang agreed, the Heart of Fire Domain was indeed full of danger. He thought it necessary to investigate.
"It couldn't possibly be the Heart of Fire Domain, but our belief is that we must pass through its core to enter inside," the elder explained.
"Uncle, who can dig through something as large as the Heart of Fire Domain" The middle-aged man gasped.
"Whoever it is, they'll surely die. So this method doesn't work and we can only choose to destroy the formation, but there's little hope in that,"
Shen Xiang secretly rejoiced, he had the Black Tortoise Diamond Armor, maybe he could enter through a tunnel under the Heart of Fire Domain and see inside.
"Where's that super-large ore vein" The middle-aged man asked, which was also what Shen Xiang wanted to know.
"It's located a thousand miles east of Medicine City…"
Shen Xiang had an idea that this name of danger rang a bell inside his head.
"The Tomb of the Evil Dragon!" The middle-aged man exclaimed, aghast.
Shen Xiang didn't expect the super-large ore vein to be in such a cursed place.
It was indeed a cursed place, there were no resources inside and the outside was covered by the bones of strange beasts. The area around was lifeless, with thick gray fog covering most of it. From a high altitude, the gray mist looked like an enormous black dragon coiled around the earth, emitting gray energy.
It was difficult to picture that it could be a super-large ore vein!
"A few immortals teamed up to throw huge mountains into that place recently, but when they touched the formation, those mountains vanished completely without a trace!"
"They were hitting the black dragon's head formed from gray mist in midair. In their anger, they triggered the formation and all of these old men didn't return,"
"It's not possible to fly over the Tomb of the Evil Dragon now. Any that try will be assaulted and vanish without a trace,"
The Heart of Fire Domain was only three thousand miles away from the Tomb of the Evil Dragon, yet these people were still trying to find ways to destroy its formation there. It was a desperate move, but how else could they try
"Could it be possible to go from the Heart of Fire Domain to the Tomb of Evil Dragon I need to see what's inside that super-large ore vein!" Shen Xiang waited for them to leave, then left Medicine City and headed towards the Heart of Fire Domain.e all very powerful spirits.“How did you refine it You completed it so quickly,” Long Xuanyi was also shocked by Shen Xiang’s methods. It was too terrifying to imagine how he managed to destroy millio...
