Half an hour later, Tan Yun and Jing Lu arrived at the lake bottom.
Jing Lu led Tan Yun through a huge gap in the lake bottom, ultimately arriving at a cave dwelling.
The entrance to the cave was over ten thousand feet tall, and the cave dwelling itself was extraordinarily large, stretching a million feet in size.
On the cave's surface, there was a teleportation array.
However, this teleportation array was not made of time-space blood crystals, but rather composed of odd-shaped characters.
“Brother,” Jing Lu spoke, her voice melodious, “these characters are said to be only recognized by the supreme chaos; even the primordial supreme cannot recognize them.”
“Thirty thousand years ago, the supreme chaos realized this was a teleportation array and cracked it. Then, based on this array, she modified it so that people only need to consume a hundred pieces of Supreme Divine Jade to activate the teleportation array.”
“Mm, I understand.” Tan Yun nodded in response, but as he looked at the characters on the teleportation array beneath him, he gradually furrowed his brow.
Seeing Tan Yun lost in thought, Jing Lu gently asked, “Brother, what's wrong?”
Tan Yun communicated telepathically, “Little Lu, for some reason, I find that I recognize these characters, and I can also see the structure of the teleportation array.”
“What?” Jing Lu widened her beautiful eyes, incredulously transmitting, “Brother, it's said that this teleportation array is a product from the previous universe; how could you possibly know it?”
Tan Yun's brow furrowed even deeper as he communicated, “Not only do I recognize it, but… looking at these characters, for some reason, my heart feels a bit sour and very sad.”
“I feel…” Tan Yun conveyed with a distracted tone, “I feel an inexplicable sorrow, as if these characters were flesh cut from my body, causing me immense heartache.”
“Why do I recognize these characters, and why do I feel such inexplicable sadness…”
Just as Tan Yun was communicating, suddenly, a cold sneer echoed from outside the cave, “Hello, you two!”
Tan Yun and Jing Lu turned around abruptly to see eight towering giants, each a hundred feet tall, walking in.
“Titan giants!” Tan Yun's heart tightened, and he communicated, “Little Lu, I can't discern the cultivation levels of the eight; they are all at least seventh rank celestial gods. What exactly is their level?”
Tan Yun understood that Jing Lu possessed the Golden Eye and, like Xuan Yuan Rou, could see through anyone's cultivation level.
“Mm.” Jing Lu replied without revealing her emotions, “The leading titan giant is a second-class half-saint.”
“The other seven are all ninth rank celestial gods. Brother, we are no match for them.”
“Alright, I understand.” After communicating, Tan Yun cupped his fists and bowed, “Respected Titan Giant senior, may I ask what your orders are?”
The leading titan giant arrogantly declared, “Don't be nervous; I’m not after beauty and I won’t kill you.”
“I just happen to be a bit short on cash, so hand over all the Divine Jade you have, and your lives will be spared.”
“Otherwise, I won't hesitate to crush you with a stomp.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun nodded and bowed again, “Yes, yes, yes, I’ll give you the Divine Jade right away.”
Just as Tan Yun was about to take out the Divine Jade from the Immortal Ring, the titan giant extended his right hand, “Give me the Immortal Ring; I’ll take it myself.”
Tan Yun furrowed his brow, then took off the Immortal Ring and handed it over with both hands.
The titan giant released his divine consciousness, and once it entered the Immortal Ring, his huge eyes suddenly lit up, “Not bad, kid! You actually have this much Divine Jade, and so many Earth Divine Snakes.”
As he spoke, the titan giant controlled all the Earth Divine Snakes and Divine Jade within the Immortal Ring to fly out and land in his giant palm.
“These Earth Divine Snakes are quite valuable; I can sell a lot of Divine Jade in the market in the future, hahahaha!” The titan giant laughed heartily, “As for the other items, I’m not interested; I’ll give them back to you.”
