"Our various major forces naturally are unwilling to give up, so the President and a group of powerful individuals have been searching deep within the Sea of Thunder, hoping to locate the seal once again. But just a few days ago, the President sent back a message of danger, and since then, he has disappeared without a trace in the Sea of Thunder."

"Not only our Tianxun Society's President Gongsun Zhe but also the strong individuals from several other major forces have suddenly vanished, as if missing." Ge Honsen had a trace of fear on his face. "So when I saw Young Hero Chen planning to go to the Sea of Thunder for training, I thought if he could keep an eye out for President Gongsun and lend assistance if possible." Ge Honsen stood up immediately, respectfully bowing to Qin Chen.

Qin Chen remained silent, never expecting that his trip to the Sea of Thunder would involve so many things. Both the Holy Crystals and Holy Veins left him deeply shaken, though he still harbored many doubts. Seeing Qin Chen not replying, Ge Honsen suddenly took out a crystal orb and handed it to Qin Chen, saying, "Young Hero Chen, this is the crystal orb image of the seal, please have a look." Qin Chen accepted the crystal orb and activated it with true essence.

Instantly, an image appeared before everyone. A faint white halo emerged in the midst of the thunderous Sea of Thunder, where the lightning was incredibly intense, undoubtedly reaching the depths of the Sea of Thunder. The white halo emitted a strong radiance, and within it seemed to be a massive void seal. What caught Qin Chen's attention was a dilapidated ancient palace ruin within the seal, surrounded by a layer of special crystals. The crystals were milky white and, though observed through the image, appeared to contain terrifying power, surpassing even the highest-grade true stones.

"Is this the Holy Crystal?" Qin Chen squinted, but having never seen a Holy Crystal before, he couldn't recognize it for certain. However, he was sure that these crystals held incredible power, evident from how they could fuel such a large seal. "These crystals should be the source of power for the spatial seal," remarked Fu Qiankun beside him, eyes filled with excitement and awe.

Qin Chen nodded, sharing the same thought as Fu Qiankun. Judging by the crystals' arrangement, they seemed to be the power source of this seal, which raised the possibility of them being the legendary Holy Crystals. In such an intense part of the Sea of Thunder, even the highest-grade true stones couldn't last long, as they would be destroyed within a century. Only treasures beyond the highest-grade true stones could withstand such fierce lightning for so long.

At that moment, Qin Chen was shocked. If these were indeed Holy Crystals, then with such a large number, there were at least several thousand, possibly even more. "Old Source." Qin Chen contacted the Old Source within the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Disc. "They indeed are source stones," replied the Old Source in a deep voice, with a trace of shock in its tone.

"Source stones?" "They are the Holy Crystals you speak of on the Tianwu Continent," confirmed the Old Source. "However, your Tianwu Continent never had the soil to produce Holy Crystals. These Holy Crystals aren't native to your continent; they likely came from Heaven's powerful individuals who descended upon your world. As for why they left behind such a seal, whatever's sealed inside should be extraordinary."

Heavenly beings from legend? Qin Chen took a deep breath, recalling the scenes he saw upon breaking through to Martial God, where terrifying beings from the Demon Continent, glowing like demon gods and ruling the sky, exuded an overwhelming presence that struck fear with just a glance. Could the Sea of Thunder have been left by such beings from Heaven?

If so, why would they have left this place, and what is sealed here? Qin Chen felt his heart racing. Regardless of the opponent's intentions, acquiring such a large amount of Holy Crystals could greatly advance his cultivation, even surpassing Shangguan Xi'er and achieving vengeance. Truthfully, Qin Chen was tempted. Initially, he came to the Sea of Thunder to solve the parasitic seed problem and later to find Hei Nu and the others. But now, for this seal, he was willing to venture deeper into the Sea of Thunder for exploration.
