The field was a golden expanse.
There were no tall mountains around.
Only an endless plain stretched as far as the eye could see.
After landing, Xia Liu realized.
The field wasn't entirely made of golden sand.
There were also so erald green grasses.
Due to the sunlight and the effect of the golden sand, the plants on the plain were far from flourishing.
"My king, I can sense beneath this sand lies a vast amount of gilding, yet why is there no one mining it?"
"Indeed, your insight is sharp. Given you the superior resources, sending you to those mined gilding veins would make
appear petty as a king."
Chen Beixuan chuckled.
"What!"
Xia Liu was at a loss for words.
To expedite his Foundation Establishnt success.
This guy actually chose to give him an unmined gilding vein.
He truly puts his mind to it!
"Don't be too moved; in the future, you'll bear the honor of being the Prince Consort of Chen Kingdom, and there's no room for negligence!"
"I understand!"
Xia Liu replied with great solemnity.
"Good! Now that we've reached here, how do we proceed to explore the source?"
Chen Beixuan asked with confusion.
Xia Liu pondered: "Can the king's Divine Sense detect the source of the vein?"
"That's impossible. The shallowest vein I've seen still has a depth of three hundred miles."
"Three hundred miles..."
Xia Liu felt the urge to spit blood.
Three hundred miles!
Even if he digs the soil with his hands, it'd take several dozen days.
Using spells to dig would also leave him exhausted.
"Haha, Prince Consort Xia, there's still work at the court, I'll head back first. Rest assured, no enemies will attack you here."
Seeing Xia Liu's bitter expression, Chen Beixuan was sowhat anxious but couldn't show it.
Xia Liu would eventually reach the source of the gilding.
He just needed to return to the palace and wait for him.
"Alright, thank you, my king, for the trouble along the way."
Xia Liu wouldn't keep Chen Beixuan.
He already had plans to reach the source of the gilding.
As the Heavenly Thunder Tiger gradually distanced itself from the plain, Xia Liu was about to use the Earth Spirit Technique to escape to the vein's source.
Suddenly, Bai Jue's voice sounded in his mind: "Xia Liu, don't move yet!"
"Hmm? Elder Bai, did you discover sothing?"
Xia Liu asked puzzled.
"Sixty miles away from you, there's an Early-Stage Golden Pill Cultivator surveilling your every move!"
Bai Jue said coldly.
"Hmm? Is this Chen Beixuan's backup plan?"
"Chen Beixuan hasn't gone far yet. If you expose your Earth Spirit Power, that early-stage Golden Pill will likely report it to Chen Beixuan imdiately."
"In such a case, Chen Beixuan might discover my hidden talents."
Thinking it over, Xia Liu drew cold breaths.
If he were to fall out with Chen Beixuan, the latter might act against him imdiately.
The outco would surely be dire.
Even though he had Bai Jue and didn't need to worry about life-threatening danger.
But Bai Jue wasn't a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator now.
His Soul Power was limited.
He could only act at the crucial mont.
"Wait for now. Sit tight here for ten days to half a month until his patience wears out, and Chen Beixuan's anticipation lessens, then use the Earth Escape Skill."
"Hmm! That's what I thought too."
Xia Liu slowly sat on the ground.
He closed his eyes, entering into a cultivation state.
In the distant grassland.
An old man with white hair was puzzled.
Earlier, he clearly saw Xia Liu forming a seal.
Yet suddenly, he stopped.
Then, dazed for a while, he sat on the ground like a wooden figure.
This isn't right.
The old man's task was to monitor Xia Liu.
Now, there's nothing unusual.
He couldn't report anything to Chen Beixuan.
Best to wait and see.
Five days later.
The old man stood up from the grass.
Due to continuously using Divine Sense to spy on Xia Liu.
He was nearly nauseated.
For five whole days, Xia Liu remained in the sa spot ditating.
Not making any movents.
He even suspected Xia Liu was going to the gilding vein's source.
"Best to wait a bit more..."
Comforting himself, the old man continued waiting.
This ti, he kept waiting until half a month later.
At noon one day, the old man saw Xia Liu move!
Just like the first ti he saw him using the Seal Decree.
After forming the seal, Xia Liu's body slowly sank into the sand.
Until he completely vanished.
"It's the taste of Earth Spirit Power!"
Realizing Xia Liu used Earth Spirit Power, the old man couldn't help but cry out.
He didn't recall Chen Beixuan ntioning Xia Liu had Earth Spirit Power.
"I clearly rember Chen Beixuan saying this guy has Dual Origin, Golden Fire Dual Origin, and he's here to explore the Gilding Origin Energy to enhance his Golden Origin..."
Thinking it over, the old man was certain.
He hadn't heard wrong.
Xia Liu only had Golden Fire Origin.
Yet, what happened just now?
He was sure he sensed right.
That was Earth Spirit Power!
"Could it be he's not Golden Fire Dual Origin but has Three Origins!"
Hiss!
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but draw in Spiritual Energy.
This discovery was incredibly astonishing.
Having two Origins inside a cultivator was already considered a prodigy among monsters.
Three Origins would likely make him a Demon Beast!
Too terrifying.
If Chen Beixuan knew about this, he'd probably jump in joy.
After calming himself down, the old man marched thirty miles forward.
He couldn't let Xia Liu out of sight.
As for Chen Beixuan.
He'd find a chance to report to the palace later.
The old man moved thirty miles but still didn't find any trace of Xia Liu.
Thus, he went directly to the place where Xia Liu disappeared.
But still found nothing.
He understood the gravity of the situation.
Xia Liu possesses Earth Spirit Power.
And might escape directly to the gilding vein's source!
The old man did not make any rash actions, sitting on the ground and waiting for Xia Liu to appear.
Given his early-stage Golden Core cultivation.
If Xia Liu ca to Chen Kingdom for Gilding Origin Energy, planned to leave after advancing, he'd let him know the horror of the Golden Core Stage!
Two hundred miles below the ground.
Xia Liu continued sinking.
Protected by Earth Spirit Power.
With the addition of mysterious spells.
He could freely roam through the soil.
This was the ability granted by the Earth Origin.
Back in the Kunwu Realm's Rattlesnake Clan Cave, it was the Earth Origin actively protecting him; otherwise, he wouldn't have swiftly passed through layers of barriers and rushed out of the Snake Cave.
"Is it really as Chen Beixuan said, that the vein is hundreds of miles deep?"
"Isn't that obvious? I once saw a spiritual stone vein tens of thousands of miles deep, and they were all Supre Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Damn! Elder Bai, you must have struck it rich!"
Xia Liu was sowhat frightened.
A spiritual stone vein tens of thousands of miles deep; even if developed slightly, it could sustain the whole realm.
"You're overthinking. By the ti I discovered it, there was only a little left."
Discussing this, Bai Jue's words were filled with regret.
Pity he didn't have that kind of frighteningly powerful fortune; otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a state today.
"Oh! Reached the end!"
"Elder Bai! Is there Origin Energy?"
Upon hearing Bai Jue's words, Xia Liu eagerly asked.
