Chapter 1375: Chapter 713 Cave_2

It was evident that with the death of the Earth Armor Dragon, all the participants were excited, as the greatest threat had been eliminated.

Next, they would explore the reserves of the spirit stone mine vein and engage in competitions to distribute the benefits.

At this moment, faced with tremendous profits, the majority of powers, even if they had lost one or two Golden Core combat strengths, quickly regained composure.

After all, those who lost fellow sect or clan members looked far ahead, and with the supplementary benefits of the spirit stone mine vein, it was easy for them to forget their sorrowful mindset.

As the saying goes, the world is fickle, perhaps this is the case.

In response, Lin Tianyun and his companions sneered.

In their view, such is the way of sect powers, and it’s not particularly surprising.

After all, members of sects, unlike families, don’t have direct blood ties passed down through generations.

In the eyes of these sect cultivators, over time, only absolute benefits matter, with no familial affection to speak of.

Although among these sect cultivators, quite a few are direct descendants of cultivators.

But these individuals usually constitute only a small portion.

Moreover, many times, a cultivator passes down for only a few generations, and eventually, due to insufficient talent or various changes, the direct bloodline is severed.

In the end, those who originally had blood relations lose contact with each other, making it difficult to form a unified group.

For these reasons, true feelings are rare within sects.

Conversely, family powers rely on bloodline inheritance; even if a family does not have cultivator descendants for two or three generations, their foundation and genealogy remain under family supervision.

In this way, as long as cultivator descendants appear regularly, they can reconnect through the bonds of familial bloodlines.

This is the difference between family and sect inheritance.

In this battle to encircle and annihilate the Earth Armor Dragon, most forces had sect backgrounds.

Families like the Lin Family were only seven forces in the mix, accounting for just about a third of the total.

Among these families, two did not suffer any personnel loss, while the other five forces each lost one Golden Core stage clansman.

Judging by this, such losses compared to the gains were not particularly difficult outcomes to accept.

Thus, those families with losses mourned briefly, soon returning to normal.

Under such conditions, the atmosphere at this gathering was harmonious.

At this moment, after greeting other cultivators, Lin Tianyun and his companions turned their attention to the area.

Especially Lin Tianhu and Lin Tianfeng, who had hurriedly returned from Jinfeng Nation and hadn’t yet investigated this place.

Now, with the Earth Armor Dragon dead, they found themselves at the location of the spirit ore.

Under such circumstances, Lin Tianhu and Lin Tianfeng curiously scanned this treasured land.

Following their gaze, the vast expanse of the Liusha Wasteland revealed sparse vegetation over wide sandy plains, appearing utterly desolate.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy in this area was exceedingly thin; a careful examination would reveal it to be worse than many ordinary places.

Such an environment clearly isn’t suitable for treasure growth.

It is hard to imagine that beneath such a barren and impoverished surface lies a spirit stone mine vein with considerable reserves.

Regarding this outcome, if not for Lin Tianyun’s direct assertion, Lin Tianhu and Lin Tianfeng would’ve found it hard to believe.

Having personally descended to investigate underground, Lin Tianyun surely wouldn’t deceive fellow Lin Family members like Lin Tianfeng.

As a result, while observing the scene before them, Lin Tianhu and his companions harbored no doubt about the authenticity of the spirit stone mine vein.

It was at this time that other cultivators involved in the Earth Armor Dragon siege had all gathered.

Seeing the scene, Xu Zuo broke the silence.

"Fellow Daoists, all those who participated in the Earth Armor Dragon siege have arrived."

"Next, let us together enter the depths underground to assess the actual reserve size of this spirit stone mine vein."

Finishing his statement, Xu Zuo grinned excitedly.

"Hehe..."

"This place can birth a spirit stone mine vein with massive reserves, and with a Fourth Order demonic beast long slumbering here, the spiritual energy within must be extremely dense."

"Perhaps even some invaluable treasure lies within this spirit ore."

Upon hearing this, many present showed excitement in their expressions, their eyes filled with impatience.

Lin Tianyun and his companions somewhat acknowledged Xu Zuo’s words.

Indeed, within a spirit ore with considerable reserves, the spiritual energy level is undoubtedly high.

Furthermore, they had besieged and killed an Earth Armor Dragon, a Fourth Order demonic beast.

Such a powerful demonic beast naturally has a very long lifespan.

The fact that the Earth Armor Dragon could sleep within the spirit ore for so long likely means it cultivated using the dense spiritual energy and perhaps guarded something.

It is precisely such things’ existence that kept the powerful Earth Armor Dragon unwilling to leave the area for a long time.

Thus, from this speculation, a treasure highly valued by an Earth Armor Dragon of this level must also be extraordinarily valuable.

Understanding this, Lin Tianyun and his companions, usually quite calm, now felt somewhat impatient.

Not only them, but other people present showed flushed faces, appearing eager.

Seeing this, Xu Zuo dared not delay, fearing to provoke public anger.

Thus, Xu Zuo continued, "Fellow Daoists, next follow my lead, and let us collectively open a path into the spirit ore depths."

After saying this, Xu Zuo waved his hand, and a dark long staff magical treasure appeared in his hand.

Immediately afterward, Xu Zuo leaped from mid-air, quickly disappearing into a patch of yellow sand.

Following him, several cultivators from the Liyang Sect hurriedly joined.

At this point, with Xu Zuo’s actions as a cue, others rushed into the flowing sands.

Seeing this scene, Lin Tianyun and his companions exchanged glances, then nodded slightly at each other.

Then, the group of four swiftly dove into the sands beneath their feet.

After entering the underground, Lin Tianyun and his companions continued their descent, and after a quarter of an hour, they reached a cave deep beneath.

This cave was extraordinary, with loose soil and sand above it, spanning over several hundred zhang deep.

Such a natural condition, though an insurmountable gulf in the eyes of laymen, posed no difficulty for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above.

For instance, from their surface dive, Lin Tianyun and his companions came down with the ease of diving underwater.

After arriving here, a massive natural cave appeared, even eluding Lin Tianyun’s divine sense from probing its depth.

Lin Tianyun was quite familiar with this place, having visited during a prior spirit stone mine vein exploration.

Based on his knowledge, this natural cave was actually a long passage.

Back then, he had followed this passage further in, eventually reaching the deepest part.

It was at the cave’s deepest part that he sensed extremely dense spiritual energy, and based on spiritual energy and divine sense probing, he confirmed that a spirit stone mine vein existed beyond the passage.

Simultaneously, he found traces and aura of the Earth Armor Dragon in the deep zone of that passage.

Therefore, out of caution, Lin Tianyun dared not proceed further, lest he awaken the slumbering Earth Armor Dragon.

Apart from him, probably all cultivators entering here were similarly cautious.

Indeed, those early-stage Golden Core cultivators entering the cave couldn’t reach as far as Lin Tianyun.

Only Xu Zuo from the Liyang Sect likely ventured deeper than Lin Tianyun.

Moreover, Xu Zuo possessed a Sky Spirit Mouse capable of probing more useful information than Lin Tianyun, making it less surprising.
