660: Isn't that a coincidence?

The Little Thunder Beast worked with great vigor.

For her, so many origin crystal veins meant half of them belonged to her. Although half would be taken by that powerful man, she had no objections at all.

The value of origin crystal veins was immeasurable. Outside, they were almost impossible to find, only top-tier major powers had a chance to acquire them.

Now that she had the opportunity to obtain an origin crystal vein, her strength, which had been stuck at the Half-step Heaven and Earth King Realm, finally had a chance to Breakthrough.

Hoo-ch! Hoo-ch!

As her sharp claws struck down, large chunks of rubble immediately fell into the pit, mixed with large quantities of origin crystal, making the diligently working Little Thunder Beast smile so broadly her eyes disappeared, incredibly happy.

Shen Tianxing watched, shaking his head. These large chunks of rubble were accompanied by vast amounts of dust, making the entire passage hazy.

It was impossible to see with the naked eye.

With a casual wave, the dust in the entire passage was directly dissipated by an invisible force, and the interior became clear and fresh again.

After shaking his head in satisfaction, Shen Tianxing glanced at the diligently working Little Thunder Beast and, not intending to bother with her anymore, walked directly towards the depths of the passage.

Although this place was naturally formed, Shen Tianxing sensed the fluctuation of a Formation.

Naturally formed Formations would not have such irregular fluctuations; they would have already integrated with their surroundings.

Only regular Formation fluctuations would be easily detected.

Just like now, Shen Tianxing clearly felt traces of Formation fluctuations, and they were very regular. This indicated that the Formation here was man-made, not naturally formed.

Following the Formation fluctuations he had sensed earlier, Shen Tianxing walked deeper into the passage step by step, while the Little Thunder Beast remained completely oblivious.

Along the way, Shen Tianxing saw many origin crystals densely growing on the tunnel walls and collected them casually.

These things still had considerable use in the Sacred Domain, so he certainly wouldn't waste them.

“Oh?”

Shen Tianxing arrived before a cave. Here, he distinctly felt the Formation fluctuations intensifying, and the surrounding space was actually experiencing localized collapses!

Only a small passable path remained for him to walk on; the surrounding roads were gone, and even the tunnels had disappeared.

Darkness enveloped him, with no sound around. He seemed like a person abandoned in this world, destined to wait for natural death in this desolate and dark place.

For Cultivators, such waiting was naturally incredibly long; his lifespan was too extended!

However, how could Shen Tianxing be affected by his surroundings?

He had seen his share of great storms and crises; what kind of danger hadn't he encountered?

Knowing he had fallen into a Formation, he certainly wouldn't choose to wait for death.

“It’s just a Formation. In front of me, what kind of Formation can still pique my interest? Not many!”

Shen Tianxing's attainments in Formations were no joke. All the myriad Dao of Heaven and Earth could not invade him; how could a mere Formation affect him?

Bang!

Shen Tianxing took a step, and the originally dark and desolate space suddenly collapsed. All the eerie sensations around him vanished!

With just one step, Shen Tianxing once again stood before the massive cave.

This time, a significant change had occurred within the cave.

All forty-nine stone pillars had broken from the middle, revealing a large altar inside.

Shen Tianxing was very curious. He took a step, and his entire being was already standing on the altar.

His gaze fell to his feet, where he could clearly see many profound Formation patterns carved into the altar. The Formation patterns within were also very ancient, and the script was something he had never seen before.

The surrounding forty-nine stone pillars were connected to the mountain, and origin crystal energy emanated from within them. It was clear that this Formation was powered by the energy from the origin crystals.

If it hadn't been suddenly disrupted by Shen Tianxing, this Formation would surely have continued to operate. It was just unknown what such a massive Formation was actually used for.

“Spatial Formation patterns, like some kind of massive long-distance teleportation array.”

With Shen Tianxing's Formation attainments, even if he couldn't recognize everything, he could discern these clues.

He clearly felt the spatial Formation pattern fluctuations.

“Who set up this Formation? Or rather, which race?”

“Such a massive Formation is definitely a grand undertaking. Why did they leave behind such a Formation, and who were they trying to teleport?”

As Shen Tianxing spoke, he extracted a perfectly intact Formation template, intending to find an opportunity to study it thoroughly.

Such ancient things, in the present day, were incredible treasures!

Perhaps he could even glimpse some secrets from ancient times!

“Hmm?”

After putting away the template, just as Shen Tianxing was about to leave, he suddenly noticed an inconspicuous stone tablet overturned on the ground at the center of the forty-nine stone pillars.

If he hadn't inadvertently glanced at it, he might have missed it.

Any stone tablet was certainly used to record some information about the place, making it very important.

And being so concealed, the obvious purpose was for it to be seen by specific people.

Shen Tianxing came before the stone tablet. The seemingly small tablet was as tall as he was.

The inscription recorded two types of script: one was the ancient script Shen Tianxing still couldn't recognize.

The other, however, was a script he could recognize at a glance. What a coincidence, wasn't it?
