Chapter 45: Mu Ya Crystal

The many Councilor-level elites that were just flying in midair all entered the lake.

Luo Feng landed; at that moment Hong and Xiao Yu were standing beside the Beast Emperor's corpse, along with bodyguards Yao Rao and Bing Shan.

"Hall Master," Luo Feng said as he landed.

"Luo Feng."

Hong turned his head toward Luo Feng, gave a slight nod, and said, "Xiao Yu has already killed the Beast Emperor's Tentacle Beast; now the biggest obstacle to exploring Wu Island's lake has been solved. All major factions have begun to explore the lake! The three of you should set out at once. If you find a treasure and can seize it, seize it! If you cannot, immediately inform me and Xiao Yu."

"Yes, Hall Master," Luo Feng, Yao Rao, and Bing Shan promptly obeyed.

"For this treasure discovery, once it is finally obtained, the discoverer will receive a 30% reward of the treasure itself. The one who seizes the treasure will also receive 30% of the treasure. The remaining 40% belongs to the Hall," Hong said solemnly.

Yao Rao, the bodyguards, and Luo Feng all nodded, then set out into Hu Po.

"Hong, I'm going down as well," Xiao Yu said, interested in the Mu Ya Crystal discovered on Wu Island—not to use it himself, but because the Mu Ya Crystal is a precious item for cultivating plant life.

"Alright," Hong nodded, still standing on the lake, waiting.

Xiao Yu transformed into a bolt of lightning and entered the lake, evading Luo Feng and the others.

This Wu Island lake spans over a hundred li in radius—such a vast area! Moreover, the Beast Emperor originally dwelled 3,500 meters beneath the ground, while the lake's average depth is only about 300 meters. The treasure might be hidden somewhere in the lake's bottom sludge, soil layer, or rock layer. Searching is extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu has a system.

"System, set the First Wish to continuously scan all energy‑containing substances within a three‑kilometer radius around me,"

【Setting successful.】

【First Wish: Continuously scan all energy‑containing substances within a three‑kilometer radius around me (30 Wish Points per minute).】

"System, begin executing the First Wish."

【First Wish is being realized.】

【Wish Points are being deducted continuously until the host ends it voluntarily.】

Suddenly, a scan map of a spherical space with Xiao Yu's body as the center and a three‑kilometer radius appeared in his mind.

Everything within this range—including War‑God‑level and Councilor‑level elites entering the lake, Lord‑rank monsters, and any abnormal energy—was displayed.

Even Hong and Lei Shen above the lake could see it clearly.

Moreover, it not only showed up, but also rendered the shapes and sizes of the objects.

Xiao Yu dove into the lake bottom, scanning rapidly, and casually dealt with any Lord‑rank monsters he encountered.

Suddenly, he discovered an underground dark river about two to three thousand meters below, and 200–300 meters beneath that river lay a crystal‑like object emitting a faint glow.

Xiao Yu immediately burrowed into the soil and rock layers. To him, the rocks were no tougher than tofu; with his Domain shifted aside, he slipped into the ground at full speed.

In less than a minute, he obtained the white crystal emitting a faint rice fragrance—the Mu Ya Crystal.

Xiao Yu immediately took out his auxiliary light‑brain, recorded a video of the Mu Ya Crystal, and sent it to Hong and Luo Feng.

"Hong, Luo Feng, I've found a treasure underground," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"It's a Mu Ya Crystal!" Hong could no longer stay calm.

The Mu Ya Crystal is a treasure that works for Planet‑level cultivators; according to the relics, it is extremely rare throughout the universe.

Luo Feng, still searching nearby, was puzzled, "What's a Mu Ya Crystal?"

"The Mu Ya Crystal can directly boost a Planet‑level's power," Xiao Yu explained.

"Huh?" Luo Feng also began searching the ground directly, while informing Yao Rao and Bing Shan.

"Lei Shen, a Mu Ya Crystal was found underground, hurry," Hong said kindly to Lei Shen as he descended.

"Brother Hong, what did you say! A Mu Ya Crystal was found," Lei Shen's voice rang, and he instantly turned into a bolt of lightning straight toward the lake bottom.

The lake‑bottom rocks were nothing to Hong, who possessed a Domain; they couldn't even slow his speed.

After finding this Mu Ya Crystal, Xiao Yu immediately resumed scanning the surroundings, soon discovering another one, though he kept it quiet.

Five minutes later, Luo Feng discovered what was nominally the second Mu Ya Crystal.

Later, Hong and Lei Shen each made their own discoveries.

Half an hour later, when Luo Feng found the third Mu Ya Crystal, he encountered Mo Handeson; after Xiao Yu reported the news, the two fought over it, and during their scramble the Mu Ya Crystal was devoured by a Lord‑rank Earth Dragon, which soon ascended to a King‑level monster.

Hong and Lei Shen arrived at the scene quickly, and soon many Planet‑level elites rushed over.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu used this time to head to a point 2,000 meters below, where within a hundred‑meter radius he astonishingly found ten Mu Ya Crystals.

He didn't know what the Baba Tower's intentions were; his mental Domain width didn't meet its requirements! Moreover, he is a cultivator, not a Spiritual Mind Master.

But there's no reason not to pick up such free Mu Ya Crystals.

He activated his Thunder Domain, continuously diving, and unexpectedly discovered two more crystals at the edge of his scan; he hurried over, secured the Mu Ya Crystals, and kept descending.

All ten Mu Ya Crystals were successfully obtained.

The emergence of a King‑level monster in the underground dark river made the discovery of the Mu Ya Crystals impossible to conceal; all major factions were shaken and threw their full effort into the operation.

It also rendered the excavation brutally fierce, with War‑Gods and Councilor‑level elites bleeding profusely.

Who wouldn't covet a treasure that can boost a Planet‑level cultivator's power?

Usually they might have feared Hong's strength, keeping conflicts at a certain level; now, facing the treasure, everyone relies on their own abilities.

Soon the first bloodshed occurred: Councilor Fal, while battling three Indian War‑Gods for a Mu Ya Crystal, executed a lethal strike, severely wounding the opponents.

……

Even Hong could not stop it.

As Xiao Yu continued his deep underground search, he quickly discovered four more Mu Ya Crystals.

At 11:31 PM, Hong also found a Mu Ya Crystal.

……

At 11:47 PM, an EU nation obtained a Mu Ya Crystal; during the clash, the first death occurred.

At 12:12 AM, the American side secured a Mu Ya Crystal; this time, the American and Soviet‑Russian sides fought, resulting in three Councilor-level elites on both sides being seriously injured.

At 1:56 AM, Lei Shen discovered and obtained two of them.

Soon, Luo Feng discovered three, but this was jointly discovered by Luo Feng, Mohandeson, and two EU nation parliament strongmen; while the three sides were strengthening, Hong promptly rushed over and collected three Wood Seed Crystals.

When the time came to 5:31 PM the next evening, after nearly twenty hours of excavation, humanity had openly discovered 23 Wood Seed Crystals and obtained 22 Wood Seed Crystals.

This does not include the Wood Seed Crystals discovered by Xiao Yu; he only reported two, while the other 36 were concealed.

Soon Luo Feng also discovered the trick: the Wood Seed Crystals become easier to find the deeper one goes.

Luo Feng, continually exploring downward, when he rested at a cavern underground, his SS-rank war boots were actually pierced by a fragment of blood-red meteoric ink star; he reached out and picked it up—just a small fragment, yet it weighed over a ton.

He judged that the underground certainly possessed an extraordinary treasure, and continued searching downward.

As for Xiao Yu, after discovering those ten Wood Seed Crystals, he subsequently consecutively discovered another twenty-four Wood Seed Crystals.

When he reached a depth of ten thousand meters underground, he again discovered four Wood Seed Crystals.

Afterward he discovered that underground, every kilometer there were several Wood Seed Crystals.

Soon he was guided to a depth of fifteen thousand meters underground, where there actually existed a huge hollow space.

The system could scan that ahead at a hundred-meter position there were a huge quantity of Wood Seed Crystals, plus some other items, but the domain could not reach there.

Xiao Yu realized he had arrived at Babata's home turf; unless he wished otherwise, he could not enter.

Having lured him over, yet not opening the hatch, it seemed to be waiting for Luo Feng.

Xiao Yu silently murmured in his mind: 'System, end the First Wish.'

【First Wish has been fulfilled.】

【A total of 5 Wish Copper Coins have been deducted.】

Xiao Yu waited nearly ten hours when a figure fell from above.

"Xiao Yu, how are you here?" Luo Feng asked strangely.

"I'm waiting for the Wood Seed Crystals ahead!" Xiao Yu laughed.

"Boom—!" a sound.

The rocks ahead shattered, revealing a strange silver-white metal-constructed door; this door, resembling the hatch of an intelligent warplane, was now half-closed.

Waves of rice fragrance drifted out.

"Let's go." Xiao Yu laughed, leading the way inside.

"Be careful, danger!" Luo Feng warned, eighteen blades flying around his body.

Soon, Luo Feng's eyes turned blood-red, and behind the door lay a large pile of Wood Seed Crystals.

"Ten, twenty, thirty…" Luo Feng counted as he stashed them into his backpack behind him, his heart pounding.

Xiao Yu just smiled and watched.

"Altogether 324." After Luo Feng finished loading and stood up, he finally remembered Xiao Yu was still there, and said apologetically, "Xiao Yu, this is what we discovered together; let's split it fifty-fifty."

"Okay." Xiao Yu laughed, "I'll give this to you."

Xiao Yu took a Universe Crystal from his Space Ring and tossed it to Luo Feng.

"Really!" Luo Feng was overjoyed.

"Consider it an exchange." Xiao Yu laughed.

This Cosmic Coin is equivalent to 3,300,000 Black Dragon Coins.

The two continued along the entrance passage, constantly exploring inward, and soon encountered a massive corpse emanating a formidable pressure.

This massive corpse had jet-black skin all over, thick arms, and wore a layer of special armor inscribed with dense patterns; those patterns were far more complex than those of the Sky Thunder Blade, by who knows how many times.

"What, what level of powerhouse is this? Too terrifying." Luo Feng sucked in a breath of cold air.

He had merely glanced at the corpse's eyes once, and his heart was filled with fear.

"Don't look at his eyes; such an Immortal powerhouse, even dead, must not be desecrated." Xiao Yu reminded.

The two pressed on, passing one gigantic corpse after another, each like a giant.

"Drip!"

A tone sounded.

Instantly, the previously dim hall suddenly lit up; dazzling light shone down from the high part of the hall, making the whole hall brightly lit.

At the same time, strange light converged in the hall's center, beginning to form a black virtual silhouette—a small figure only 1.45 meters tall, like a child, with two horns on its forehead, blood-red eyes, clad in a black robe.

Like a little demon, Babata appeared.
