"We've arrived."
The lead instructor, Rudo, stopped in front of a sheer cliff.
The students trailed Rudo forward to observe.
From the cliff edge, they could see a basin area ahead, shrouded in black storm clouds, stretching so far that the end was not visible.
"The basin is surrounded by continuous mountain ranges. Descending from here leads into the Thunder Basin. The closer you get to the central area, the more dangerous it becos."
Rudo's eyes carried caution as he reminded them again, "The church set up an outer and inner defensive line in the Thunder Basin for safety. The outer layer's security is controllable, but the inner layer is extrely dangerous. No one is to step in even slightly. Understood?"
"Yes!"
"Let's go."
Beside the cliff were man-made steps, with several church priests guarding them.
The guards had been inford in advance of Rudo's arrival. After verifying their identities, they signaled for them to pass.
Rudo led the students slowly down the steps into the basin surrounded by mountains.
The sky was covered with a layer of dark storm clouds, and continuous thunder rumbled from ahead.
"The elental forces of lightning and spatial energy are extrely active inside the Thunder Basin. Here, you can find many extrely rare plants and minerals."
As they entered the basin, Rudo continued forward with the students, explaining the conditions of the Thunder Basin.
Because church patrols were present inside, Fang Heng and Zane did not release their perception to investigate.
Even so, Fang Heng sensed sothing unusual.
The surrounding area was filled with violent spatial energy fluctuations.
There were also psychic force ripples.
The source of the fluctuations was deeper within the Thunder Basin.
Zane communicated ntally with Fang Heng, "Fang Heng, little brother, you feel that too, right?"
"Hmm. Very similar to the ripples in the spiritual world," Fang Heng replied, his gaze gradually stretching ahead. "We need to go deeper to be certain."
After nearly half an hour of walking, Rudo stopped with the learners in a relatively open area.
"All right, the dangerous zone is just ahead. Today is an on-site survey, so we can't go in. Everyone can move around in a small range, but don't go too far. Stay within a kiloter of ."
"Yes!"
"Two hours of free activity. Start now."
Maer imdiately looked at Adam.
The others also turned their eyes toward Adam.
The students all understood—they had co along with Adam alone.
Celia was curious as well. Adam had ignored cultivation and traveled a long way over two days just to co to the Thunder Basin.
Adam walked to a relatively open muddy area, half-squatted, and quickly pressed his hands onto the ground.
"Chi! Chi chi chi!!!"
Huh!?
Rudo, the accompanying instructor, showed a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Such a high alchemy level!
On the muddy ground, the alchemy magic array traces gradually appeared.
Most of the students here were alchemy students, and Adam's move startled them. Looking closely, it was a super-sized magic array!
He was engraving a magic array directly with ntal strength? And it was super-sized?
The area fell silent. The learners exchanged glances, their eyes showing shock and suspicion.
What kind of magic array was he constructing?
They couldn't understand.
Only Maer's eyes showed excitent.
He understood.
It was a magic array for constructing spirit runestones!
Adam was attempting rune construction!
Ten minutes passed, and the giant magic array was completed.
A faint light appeared on the array, followed by a streak of flowing light.
Maer couldn't help asking, "Adam? How is it?"
"Hmm, no problem," Adam said, lifting his hands slightly before pressing down sharply on the array again.
Whoosh!
As Fang Heng infused the array with ntal strength, the entire array blossod with purplish-red light.
"Chi! Chi chi chi chi!!!"
The array rotated rapidly. The surrounding space seed to be torn by an invisible force. The gathered psychic force and spatial strength rushed swiftly toward the center of the array.
What?!
"Fall back!"
Rudo's heart skipped a beat. He shouted, instructing the students to retreat several ters, keeping a close eye on Adam operating the array.
That guy!
The scattered psychic and spatial forces in the surrounding space were surging madly into the array!
After absorbing the two forces, the alchemy magic array ford a pale purple core in its center.
What was that?
Celia stared at the small core, shock evident on her face.
She didn't understand, but she could perceive the surrounding spatial strength flowing into the array and being absorbed by the small stone at its center.
Even just standing there, she could sense the terrifying energy fluctuations released by the array.
Could soone her age really control such power?
Maer's heart pounded violently beside her.
The core!
He clearly saw a core condensing in the center of the array.
A spirit brand rune!
So that kid Adam...
He really did it!
At this mont, Fang Heng was controlling the operation of the array.
God-level alchemy, combined with so early materials Maer provided and the field observations, allowed him to quickly figure out the magic array used by the Chris family to refine spirit runestones.
It wasn't difficult.
Zane observed the array thoughtfully and whispered, "Hmm... a hybrid energy body?"
"Correct."
While controlling the array, Fang Heng explained, "The spatial aura fluctuations here are abnormal. This may be a convergence point between the spiritual world and two different real worlds. The spatial collision causes massive psychic force leakage, resulting in spatial mutation."
"The ancestors of the Jackalese family gathered this force and ford spirit crystal runestones. Using the runestones for positioning, they opened a passage to the spiritual world."
Zane asked, "So the spiritual world is a separate dinsion from ours? Like a dinsional rift?"
"Yes."
Fang Heng nodded lightly.
Not only the spiritual world, but probably the Netherworld works the sa way.
Fang Heng increased the infusion of ntal strength into the array.
"Whoosh!!!"
The array accelerated, releasing tens of tis more attractiveness, pulling surrounding spatial strength into it frantically.
In an instant, a visible vortex ford outside the array, dragging in surrounding spatial power.
Rudo frowned, shielding the learners as they continued to retreat several ters.
anwhile, the church oracles guarding the Thunder Basin noticed the spatial force fluctuations from the periphery.
Sothing about this power was unusual.
Dane, the bishop responsible for guarding the basin, frowned. "Zane, take people and check it out."
"Yes!"
Zane imdiately led over twenty high-tier oracles to gather and investigate the direction of the energy fluctuations.
