1789 The world in the “crystal ball” _1
After leaving the sealed continent, Tang Zhen looked at his surroundings and was slightly stunned.
This was because what appeared before him was not an ocean, nor was it land. Instead, it was a secret room with a strange design.
In the room, there were more than a dozen crystal ball-like transparent objects. There were land and water in them, and they looked like models.
In addition, there were also a few scattered items, most of which were covered in dust, as if no one had come here for a long time.
After seeing this scene, Tang Zhen’s heart trembled slightly. He hurriedly carefully observed the crystal ball behind him as his expression became increasingly solemn.
At this moment, he was certain that the crystal ball in front of him was a sealed continent. Everything inside seemed to have been shrunk countless times!
To be able to contain an entire continent in a small crystal ball and form a world of its own seemed to be a little better than the method of storing Sumeru in a mustard seed.
Only a highly developed cultivation civilization might be able to create something similar. However, it was still quite difficult to reach the level of sealing off the continent.
This required sufficient strength and time to develop. Only then could it finally form a sealed continent, a land of resources.
Perhaps it was because it was stored in the secret chamber that the sealed continent had developed to this extent and had never been disturbed by the outside world.
Tang Zhen slowly stood up when he thought of this. At the same time, he revealed a pondering expression.
Compared to the creator’s use of mental energy to freely derive all things, this method might be more time-consuming, and it would not be able to control the development trajectory of the created world.
However, the advantage was also very obvious. It didn’t have a very high requirement for the creator’s strength, and even those who weren’t creators could do it.
From Tang Zhen’s point of view, this method of creating a special world was like a seed. Regardless of whether it was an adult or a child, it could be sown.
It didn’t matter who planted the seeds. The key was the technique to create the seeds. That was the key to everything.
After thinking up to this point, Tang Zhen’s heart burned with passion. He had never expected that he would unintentionally enter such a special dimension in order to hunt down the remaining enemies of the terobo clan.
If he could obtain the technique to create seeds, he would be able to mass-produce worlds similar to the sealed continent, and the benefits he would obtain would be countless.
Tang Zhen turned his head and looked at the ten plus crystal balls beside him when he thought of this. He focused his attention and observed them.
At this time, he discovered that among the crystal balls, only the sealed continent was the most perfect. The rest of the crystal balls were much worse.
Either the land area wasn’t big enough, and it was at most an Island with only simple low-level creatures, or it was like a rotten egg, obviously a failure with no value.
There were also some crystal balls that created special environments that didn’t seem suitable for living creatures to live in. However, they could produce some special minerals that were probably useful.
After observing it for a while, Tang Zhen casually waved his hand and sent all the crystal balls into his soul space.
These things were of great value, so he had to take them with him to make it easier for him to continue his research.
Tang Zhen walked to the door of the secret room after he checked the room once again and kept all the items.
Since such an important thing was stored, the defense here was naturally extremely tight. Moreover, this was a kind of cultivation civilization that Tang Zhen had never come into contact with. The process of cracking it took quite a bit of effort.
“Crack!”
A soft sound echoed out as the door of the secret room that was blocking Tang Zhen’s way slowly opened. Immediately after, a long and deep passage appeared before his eyes.
Tang Zhen was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he used his mental energy to probe around and discovered that the tunnel in front of him was filled with defensive warning formations.
If he was not careful, he would trigger the alarm and be attacked by the formation.
However, the owner of the secret room probably never dreamed that someone would appear in the sealed continent.
At the same time, he broke through the outer shell of the sealed continent and came to the real world. He opened the door to the secret room.
After confirming the existence of these runic matrices, Tang Zhen was not in a hurry. He began to study and crack them while also learning the knowledge of this cultivation civilization.
In the past few years, Tang Zhen had read countless ancient books and records. Those were the essence of the civilizations of various dimensions and races, allowing him to accumulate rich knowledge.
Therefore, even when he was faced with an unfamiliar cultivation civilization, he was not afraid at all. He could also make a specific analysis of the civilization in a very short time.
Without anyone disturbing him, Tang Zhen used a day’s time to completely crack the defensive warning array in the tunnel. At the same time, he also understood the specific operating principle.
Tang Zhen, who was itching for a fight, casually restarted the broken runic array. However, these were all improved versions.
By the time the original owner of the secret chamber wanted to enter, he would definitely be trapped by the runes and be badly battered.
This was actually Tang Zhen’s method of exchange. One must know that after the runic magic circle was created, even if there was a slight increase in its power, it would mean that its value would increase by several times.
After Tang Zhen’s modification, the might of these runic formations had increased by three to four times. Once he cracked them, he would definitely be able to grasp the entire operating principle.
Even if it wasn’t enough to exchange for the crystal balls, it wasn’t much.
However, looking at the appearance of this secret room, it was likely that the original owner had long passed away. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the secret room to be sealed for so many years without being opened.
After everything was settled, Tang Zhen slowly walked out of the underground passage.
When he came out, he discovered that he was in a super ruin. The ruin spanned hundreds of miles, and from time to time, he could see buildings that were thousands of feet tall.
These buildings were also very strange. They looked neither gold nor wood, as if they were plants that grew from the ground.
Rather than calling this place a building ruin, it would be better to call it a giant dead forest. The dead trees were naturally the buildings of all sizes.
There were some traces left in the ruins. It was obvious that someone had been here, but they had not found the location of the secret room.
“It seems that my luck is not bad. This secret room should be an ownerless item. It has been lost for at least a thousand years. It doesn’t matter if I take it away.”
After releasing his mental force, Tang Zhen discovered that there were indeed cultivators in the ruins. They were scattered in every corner of the ruins.
Looking at their appearance, they seemed to be searching for something in the ruins. Each of them had a serious and serious expression, staring at the ground under their feet with full concentration.
Tang Zhen was determined to obtain the technology to create the crystal ball. At the same time, he didn’t have a good understanding of the specific situation of this plane. Naturally, he had to keep a low profile.
With a slight thought, Tang Zhen’s body began to change. His clothes also became exactly the same as those native cultivators.
Soon after, Tang Zhen flew into the sky and slowly flew toward the location of the native cultivators.
It didn’t take long for Tang Zhen to arrive at the location of the nearest group of cultivators and slowly landed on the ground.
Seeing Tang Zhen suddenly appear in front of them, the group of cultivators revealed a vigilant look. They stood up and constantly sized him up.
Their strength was not high, only equivalent to the Lord-level cultivators of loucheng. They did not have a trace of murderous aura, so they probably did not participate in battles often.
“Who are you, and what business do you have here?”
One of the cultivators on the other side suddenly spoke in a language that Tang Zhen had never heard before. Fortunately, he had the [ mysterious language translator ] and Tang Zhen was able to easily understand the content of the other party’s words.
“I’m just a passerby. I saw you guys looking for something here, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity.”
The other party nodded after hearing Tang Zhen’s explanation. He did not have much doubt.
Firstly, Tang Zhen had concealed his cultivation, causing the other party to mistakenly think that he was just an ordinary cultivator and that his strength was similar to them.
Secondly, it was common to see lone cultivators in these ruins. Most of them were bold and skilled, and no one was willing to provoke them unless necessary.
“If that’s the case, then you should leave as soon as possible. We’ve already taken over this place, so you should move to another location.”
The cultivator on the other side said in a calm tone, with a hint of warning.
Tang Zhen naturally would not leave so easily. His gaze swept across the items in the other party’s hands and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He found a person squatting on the ground in the distance, carefully pushing away the soil and picking up a sesame-sized crystal. His face was full of joy.
They were looking around the ruins. Their target should be this kind of crystal. Tang Zhen also happened to have a similar thing in his hands.
Those were the things he had collected in the secret chamber when he put away the crystal ball. In addition, there were some things he could not recognize, which were all stored in his mind space.
“Can you tell me what that crystal is and why you are looking for it?”
Tang Zhen asked the cultivator who had spoken earlier. At the same time, he activated his cultivation technique and silently affected the other party’s thoughts.
That cultivator was stunned for a moment. He originally didn’t want to pay attention to Tang Zhen, but he couldn’t help but open his mouth and say,”How come you don’t even know about this? that’s void sand used to make the creation ball’s crystal wall. It only exists in places that have encountered void storms.
Naturally, we’re looking for these things to sell them in large trading companies to obtain cultivation resources!”
When he said this, he looked at Tang Zhen with a puzzled expression. He did not know why he had to waste his breath explaining this.
All the cultivators who came to these ruins knew about the origin of the void sand, so why would he say anything?
At the thought of this, the cultivator was on guard. Was there something wrong with the young man in front of him?
