Aletai volunteered. He had a pet beast, the Gale Twin-Blade Bat, a Flight-type with the ability 【Glide】, which was unaffected by anti-Flight rules or skills.
The others subconsciously looked at Mingxi, waiting for her to make a decision.
Mingxi: “...”
She really wanted to say that the owner of this Mystic Ground was the Yue Ling Clan, not her.
The strongest person here was Yue Lingren, not her either.
She was just an extra.
“Then I’ll trouble Uncle Beifeng, but just in case, it’s better to go down tied to Erald Green’s vines.
Also, I’ll only give you five minutes. If you don’t co up yourselves after five minutes, then I’ll have Erald Green pull you up.”
Aletai Beifeng was indeed the most suitable candidate.
Although the seven of them were currently allies, in reality, the three mbers of the Yue Ling Clan represented the Yue Ling Clan, and they were the true community of interest.
Mingxi and Huang Huaqiang, both from Dragonflower Country, had a natural closeness on Green Field Star.
And Qian Bingning was Yue Ling Qianchen’s cousin; the Bing Ning clan was essentially the Yue Ling Clan, so they also belonged to Yue Lingren’s faction.
The only neutral party was Aletai.
Moreover, after Mingxi’s observation, it was confird that this person was truly upright.
He might show favoritism, but not without principle.
He was very particular and magnanimous in his actions, not dwelling on gains or losses.
This could be glimpsed from how he unhesitatingly used Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence) to save Qian Bingning and Huang Huaqiang’s pet beasts.
Such a person was not only worth befriending deeply but also most suitable as an interdiary.
No one could say for sure # Nоvеlight # what was beneath this giant pit; it could be danger, but could it also be a treasure?
It wasn’t that Mingxi wanted to judge a gentleman by her own standards, but once interests were involved, even father and son could turn against each other.
What’s more, this Mystic Ground belonged to the Yue Ling Clan after all.
Mingxi didn’t want to test human nature, so the best way was to prevent such a possibility.
Having Aletai, a neutral and upright third party, go down, everyone would be at ease.
“Alright.”
Five minutes later.
Aletai Beifeng returned safely, bringing good news and bad news.
The good news was that there were no ‘anti-Flight’ rules, poisonous barriers, or terrifying Transcendent creatures inside the pit.
The bad news was that the Gale Twin-Blade Bat had flown down for two minutes but hadn’t reached the bottom of the pit; it was deeper than they imagined.
“Since that’s the case, let’s go down together.”
The group flew inside the large pit. The surrounding air was very cold, and a chill perated the air.
Just as Yue Ling Qianchen said, the dense Yin energy had materialized.
Mingxi rotated Bright Crystal, who was perched on top of her head, its head full of glowing bulb flowers, bringing light to this pitch-black world.
The pit walls were steep, covered with traces of erosion from ti, and the ravines resembled ancient runes.
“Array patterns?”
Mingxi wasn’t sure and decided to discuss it further with Guangguang.
“Master, I just scanned it, and you guessed correctly, they are indeed array patterns, likely part of the Mortal Devouring Transformation Array.
Moreover, they are carved in conjunction with the natural landscape, so their power is certainly extraordinary.”
“So, this deep pit was very likely once a breeding ground for a Transcendent creature race, and then it was hard by the Mortal Devouring Transformation Array.” Mingxi analyzed, not without basis.
“Master, you are right!”
Guangguang also agreed without much principle.
This pit was indeed deep.
It was bottomless deep. Although they weren’t flying fast, a full seven minutes passed, and the wind below still howled.
Mingxi couldn’t even imagine how this deep pit was ford.
Even the Eye of the World probably wasn’t this exaggerated.
“Whoosh whoosh—”
“Wuwu...”
“Gulp.”
As ti passed, strange sounds ca from the bottom of the pit, like the low roar of a wild beast, or the crying of a ghost.
“Is this pit a bottomless abyss? And it keeps making strange noises! It’s a real sha horror movies don’t film here, I feel like I’m growing hair all over.”
Yue Ling Qianchen couldn’t help but complain.
“Don’t rush, we should be there soon.” Aletai said with a smile, comforting him.
He was right. Two minutes later, they finally saw the end of their journey.
A faint mist perated the bottom of the pit, completely obscuring the scene deeper inside, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.
“No...”
“Grandpa, Suì Wǎn, do you feel like this stone pillar looks familiar?”
The first thing to erge from the mist was a stone pillar, standing upright at the edge.
Mingxi also looked curiously, and then her Guangguang very helpfully revealed the secret.
“Master, this is that double-door sliding stone pillar.”
“...Is it the Mystic Ground entrance?”
“Yes.”
The entry process was unusually smooth, so smooth that Mingxi found it unbelievable, even suspecting that this was actually an illusion.
“I knew this stone pillar looked familiar! It’s exactly the sa as the one at the Mystic Ground entrance!”
Yue Ling Qianchen stood in front of the stone pillar, loudly confirming his judgnt.
“Look, whether it’s the thickness, height, or patterns of the stone pillar, isn’t there no difference?”
Indeed, there was no difference.
Coupled with Guangguang’s confirmation, it was almost certain that this was the sa stone pillar!
Then this matter beca even stranger.
The Mystic Ground entrance actually appeared inside the Mystic Ground.
How was this different from a Mobius strip?
Mingxi scratched her head.
She decided not to explore the mysteries of the world.
She silently turned her head, shifting her attention to the other side of the deep pit.
There was an altar there, much smaller than the previous one.
Mingxi looked up, basically confirming that the position of this small altar was directly below the original large altar, and judging by its size, it was exactly the main altar position.
Floating around the outer circle of the small altar were twelve fist-sized... pearls?
Mingxi focused her gaze, confirming and being certain that what was floating were indeed pearls.
However, they should be pearls produced by a Water-attribute Transcendent creature called the Pearl Round Rotating Sky Clam.
These pearls were called rotating sky pearls.
According to legend, wearing rotating sky pearls could change one’s luck, and there were even more mystical claims.
Reincarnation.
The reason it was a legend was because the Pearl Round Rotating Sky Clam was an ancient species that had been extinct for eight hundred years, so the claims of changing luck and reincarnation were actually just human fabrications.
“Master, although rotating sky pearls don’t have the effect of reincarnation, carrying them for a long ti does seem to be able to change one’s luck.” Guangguang said at this point, “And its true purpose is actually as a carrier for abnormal life. As long as there is energy supply, it can continuously output and absorb.
Case closed.
These twelve rotating sky pearls are the source of those monsters constantly refreshing!
And the energy core that allows them to be maintained long-term is this birth and death crystal.”
They weren’t wrong, the birth and death crystal was indeed beneath the altar.
Embedded in the center of the small altar was an egg-shaped stone egg, looking unremarkable, even a bit rough.
But if one looked closely, they would find layers of light flowing on the eggshell, like scenery, like shadows, like all things, and yet like nothing at all.
Profound and mysterious.
