These scorpions were peculiar, possessing strong attack and high defence capabilities.
However, what’s even more odd is that they didn’t emanate a mighty presence.
When scanned by his divine sense, they seed no different from ordinary poisonous scorpions.
Although Lin Chen’s San Sheng Sword couldn’t shatter them, it could easily knock them away.
As long as he remained vigilant, he wouldn’t fall victim easily.
However, if he let his guard down, he would definitely face enormous loss.
The potent poison of the scorpions could even make Qi Jun, a peak Human Immortal, exceedingly apprehensive, clearly indicating the severity of the poison.
Lin Chen was keen on determining whether these peculiar scorpions were naturally like this or whether they grew to be this way.
If it was the forr, then they were rely an exotic species.
But if it was the latter, what interfered with them to eventually develop these characteristics?
With the loss of a target to attack, the scorpions began to retreat deeper into the valley.
Hovering mid-air, Lin Chen allowed his divine sense to follow them.
They moved to the base of the cliff and scurried into a cave taller than a human, which was seemingly their lair.
Lin Chen extended his divine sense deep into the cave, and swiftly discovered the scorpion lair, where scads of scorpions, including many young ones, were hiding.
After a thorough observation, Lin Chen realized that the young scorpions didn’t exhibit adult scorpion characteristics.
Instead, they bore no difference from ordinary scorpions, arousing Lin Chen’s interest.
As Lin Chen watched quietly, he noticed that apart from normal activities like feeding and resting, the scorpions would regularly flock towards a stone wall.
The adult black scorpions would use their hard shells to strike the stone wall, creating dust, which the young scorpions would consu and then lay down motionlessly, as if they were digesting and absorbing the stone dust.
A thrill of satisfaction ran through Lin Chen’s heart – there was sothing amiss with this stone wall!
Since the target had been identified, Lin Chen no longer hesitated, and punched out.
“Boom!”
The cliff was instantly penetrated, causing a large hole to appear.
The lair of the scorpions was destroyed instantly and the stone wall previously hidden in the earth was revealed, surprisingly, it was a black stela, standing upright at least three ters high, bearing varying amounts of text.
Text?
Lin Chen widened his eyes in surprise, feeling a sense of strangeness.
Wasn’t it said that no humans lived in this little world?
Why then would there be a black stela with traces of human activity and text that humans would use?
Without waiting to ask more questions, Lin Chen saw the frantic scorpions below who lost their hos erging from the cave, marching towards him for an attack.
Lin Chen extended his hand and an empty giant hand appeared out of thin air, directly clutching the black stela, then rising to the sky, avoiding the attack from hundreds of scorpions.
Fortunately, the scorpions couldn’t fly.
Otherwise, dealing with such a massive number would be troubleso.
Having distanced himself from the valley, Lin Chen landed and slowly studied the stela before him.
The stela resembled black tal, pitch-black with a tinge of brightness.
It was impossible to discern its age.
The words inscribed on it were simple.
“Heart Valley remains as it was, no more Chen Cuiting in the world – Li Yongzhi”
Was this a tombstone?
It seed like a man nad Li Yongzhi had erected this stone, commorating a woman nad Chen Cuiting?
Lin Chen thought carefully.
There was no grave he had demolished under the cliff earlier.
How then did the stone tablet end up here?
Looking closer, the position of the stone tablet in the valley seed to suggest that it descended from the sky with considerable power, directly piercing the mountains to form a massive valley, after which the stone tablet beca buried in the valley and was concealed by collapsed soil.
This concealnt might have lasted for millions of years.
Although Lin Chen was puzzled, there was no one around to provide him with an answer.
He gave up further contemplation, turning his attention to the stone tablet itself.
The tablet was entirely black.
Upon knocking with his hand, it produced a crisp tallic sound.
The bottom of the tablet had so missing parts, presumably from being ground down to dust by the scorpions over countless years and consud.
If just a little bit of ground dust could turn ordinary scorpions into impenetrable beasts, what would happen if the entire stone tablet were absorbed?
What kind of change would that bring about to a body?
Lin Chen was rather intrigued.
Already having a durable skeleton, Lin Chen considered whether it was possible to beco even tougher.
Who would reject an opportunity to beco stronger?
However, this needed to be tested further.
Lin Chen wondered if the technique of absorbing Black Iron Crow Essence through refining his bones could help absorb the special substance from this tal.
Storing away the stone tablet, Lin Chen continued with his exploration.
Unexpectedly, the Muyue Illusion Realm, this little world, wasn’t very large, as Lin Chen quickly scoured the region to the edges of the world.
It was an invisible barrier made up of rules.
Gradually, from clarity to vagueness and then to chaos, Lin Chen who was well-versed in books recognized it at a glance.
A space fissure.
After traveling so distance along the space fissure, Lin Chen finally confird one thing.
This little world wasn’t naturally ford; it had been created artificially.
Perhaps this piece of space originally belonged to the Thunder Immortal Domain and was chosen by a great power, folded and hidden using celestial thods!
