Monarch Night

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the four decided to have Mo Gan Yun hold the boulder while the other three swam like fish through the exit. Finally, Mo Gan Yun gave it a few hard slaps, let go, and slipped out.

The massive rock thundered down behind them.

Mo Gan Yun was already being dragged by Yu Zhongge, rushing through the underground water tens of meters ahead. Qiu Yunshang and Jing Shuanggao kept slapping away the pressing boulders as the four fled forward.

It was unclear how far they had escaped when the pressure finally disappeared.

Without determining what this place was, a sudden change in the flow of water was felt, as if it was dispersing in all directions.

The four, pushed irresistibly by the tremendous force of the water current, kept moving forward!

They rolled along like stones, choking on water repeatedly.

Then, suddenly, the deep water was no more.

With a loud bang, the four of them fiercely collided with the mountain wall simultaneously.

Unexpectedly, they broke through the underground rock wall, crashing into a large cavity, rolling inside.

With a boom, they fell to the very bottom of a cavern!

The four cried out in pain, gritting their teeth.

But in the next moment, sensing some kind of light before them, they opened their eyes in surprise only to be stunned!

Because...

The scene in front of them exceeded their imagination.

So beautiful!

All around them was filled with Purple Crystal!

The entire cave, or rather the entire mountain, was made of Purple Crystal. Everywhere the eye could see was nothing but Purple Crystal.

The dazzling light was shimmering and flickering.

This was a mountain's belly formed entirely of Purple Crystal!

And the four found themselves positioned in the very center of the cave.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Yu Zhongge screamed hysterically: "My heavens, my earth, my God... a Purple Crystal Spirit Mine!"

"Ah, ah, ah..."

The other three reacted as well.

"Oh my God... it's all high-grade! Pure quality!"

Jing Shuanggao's voice trembled: "Such things, even my family doesn't have many..."

"Nonsense, nobody has a lot!"

Everyone was enchanted, greedily staring...

After a long pause, Mo Gan Yun came back to his senses: "Strange, where's the light coming from?"

Everyone immediately realized.

Even if the Purple Crystal is translucent, it needs light to refract such a magnificent sight, but... at such a depth underground, after falling for nearly an hour... where's the light coming from?

Then the four turned around.

Their gazes froze simultaneously.

Surrounded by an even purer Purple Crystal, there in the center was a bizarre flower floating, or it should be said, a strange flame.

Burning in the air, stretching, it appeared to have life, quietly dancing.

"This is..." Qiu Yunshang had already guessed, but couldn't believe it.

"The Purple Crystal Soul!"

Yu Zhongge trembled with excitement.

"What should we do?"

Mo Gan Yun frowned: "With our cultivation level, we can't take it away."

"Absorb it on the spot!"

Yu Zhongge gritted his teeth.

"Absorb it on the spot?"

Mo Gan Yun and the others were stunned: "I mean, this thing is undoubtedly precious, but if we absorb it on the spot, aren't we afraid of being exploded?"

Such an item, a top-tier Heavenly Treasure.

But with the four's cultivation levels, to absorb it means only one word: explode!

Four words: Flesh scattered everywhere.

"Set up the Four Symbols Formation."

Yu Zhongge's eyes lit up: "Brothers, I can feel it, this is the top chance in our lifetimes we might ever encounter! If we come here only to grab a few pieces of Purple Crystal to leave, I will regret it forever!"

"So, we need to take a risk."

"Everyone, use the Meditation Technique, set up the Four Symbols Formation, align our four cultivation powers to breathe in harmony, reaching a fully balanced state, then absorb the Purple Crystal Soul!"

Yu Zhongge calculated seriously: "There's a 60% chance of success!"

The other three exchanged glances: "What should we be mindful of?"

"No stray thoughts allowed!"

Yu Zhongge said: "The reason it's risky is that if any one of us harbors stray thoughts, wanting to hog it... a mere ripple in thought, and all four of us will explode into a cloud of ashes!"

"So, no matter what, no selfish thoughts or desires! Only then do we have a chance."

"I don't have a problem." Mo Gan Yun said.

"Neither do we."

Jing Shuanggao smiled wryly: "Anyone who absorbs it alone would only head straight to explosion, who would dare have selfish thoughts?"

"That being the case, let's start."

Yu Zhongge wasted no time, directly tearing the purest Purple Crystals from the mountain wall to set up the formation, letting the Purple Crystal Spiritual Energy counterbalance peacefully.

Then the four sat cross-legged, practicing the Meditation Technique.

After a long while, Yu Zhongge slowly raised his left hand, holding onto Mo Gan Yun's right hand.

Mo Gan Yun's left hand held onto Qiu Yunshang's right hand.

Qiu Yunshang's left hand held onto Jing Shuanggao's right hand.

All four began practicing, and the spiritual energy in the four people's veins started flowing synchronously, gently circulating.

After thirty-six circulations.

Yu Zhongge's right hand and Jing Shuanggao's left hand slowly extended, gradually capturing the Purple Crystal Soul. Within the Purple Crystal Soul, their hands slowly intertwined.

And at this moment, the flesh of their hands dissipated, leaving only white skeletal hands clasped together.

The veins connected on top, looking eerie. But neither seemed to feel any pain, not even frowning.

Yu Zhongge took a deep breath, saying: "Shuanggao, don't forget the Yin Yang Shock!"

Jing Shuanggao nodded seriously: "You give the order."

Yu Zhongge said: "All right!"

The four closed their eyes, started practicing without deliberately absorbing, maintaining the prior practice frequency, but the power from the Purple Crystal Soul began to slowly enter Yu Zhongge's body.

Then through Mo Gan Yun, Qiu Yunshang, Jing Shuanggao... it cycled back into Yu Zhongge's body, continuing in a circuit.
