Chapter 513: Chapter 513 The Heart of the Vein
Phoebe Billy just flicked his finger, and a blast of energy shot out, sticking right to my dantian!
Less than a millimeter stood between us—I had zero chance to dodge it!
The force hit even harder and more brutal, smashing straight into my dantian!
"Plop!"
Blood suddenly burst from my mouth!
The massive force didn’t just hurt me—it sent me flying dozens of meters away!
My body crashed through rocks after rocks as I slid toward the cliff’s edge!
Even then I couldn’t stop sliding as I went off the Dragon Vein and started falling toward the deep pit below the cliff!
——
Phoebe Billy stood in the distance, letting out a cold laugh as he watched.
"Mr. President, are we really gonna let him get away?" Dahlia Sean asked with a frown.
Phoebe Billy raised an eyebrow, laughed coldly, and said, "Get away? That hit just now was enough to destroy his dantian. Where’s he gonna go?"
Dahlia Sean frowned. "So you’re saying... Mason Raymond is finished now?"
"That’s right. Surprisingly, we got an extra bonus." Phoebe Billy said casually.
But Dahlia Sean snorted. "Too bad we didn’t kill him off completely."
Phoebe Billy glanced at Dahlia Sean, clearly not impressed with his comment.
"Well, time to see what goodies are inside." Phoebe Billy announced.
The crowd started pulling treasure after treasure from the pit.
Most of it was herbs—every single one over a thousand years old.
There were eight samples of herbs over five thousand years old!
Phoebe Billy looked around at everyone and said seriously, "I want to use this chance to focus and try breaking through to the Military Marquis Realm."
"Break through to Military Marquis?" Everyone was shocked.
Phoebe Billy just nodded. "Exactly. I’m just a hair away from the Military Marquis realm, and now’s the perfect time."
He grabbed a few herbs, then found a good spot to focus on his breakthrough.
The others volunteered to guard Phoebe Billy during his breakthrough.
——
My body dropped straight from the mountain, falling hundreds of meters!
Countless trees snapped in half, and within seconds, my body slammed hard into the ground!
Even as tough as I was, I felt like my insides were about to shatter from the impact!
"Damn it..." I cursed as blood leaked from my mouth, clearly in serious pain.
I touched my stomach and found a bloody hole there.
This freaked me out big time. My face went crazy with panic, turning deathly pale, and I quickly tried to activate the spiritual power in my dantian.
A bit of spiritual power flowed out from the dantian.
Inside the dantian, it looked like a golden light was protecting me from Phoebe Billy’ attack.
"Thank God, my dantian wasn’t destroyed..." I let out a huge sigh of relief.
I sat there and went quiet.
"If I’m right, it has to be my father’s doing." I thought to myself.
Back when I was absorbing the Earth Fiend Valley Ancestor, my dantian almost exploded.
That time, the same golden light had saved me, and this was round two.
"Father, who the hell are you?" I whispered.
"Damn, what a waste of all those herbs." Right then, I remembered the pile of herbs hidden under the Stone Tablet.
"Well, well, I didn’t think you’d found it too."
Just as I was lost in thought, a voice came from beside me.
This startled me—I quickly turned my head and saw the mustached man standing behind me, looking pretty annoyed.
"What are you doing here?" I frowned.
The mustached man snorted. "If you can find a secret, how could The Master not figure it out?"
"A secret?" I was confused.
I was about to ask more, but quickly shut my mouth.
Then I stood up, hiding my fear, and said, "Of course, I already saw through this place’s secret."
The mustached man gave me a thumbs-up. "That’s really impressive! You figured it out before me!"
At this point, the mustached man suggested smoothly, "Well then, we agreed it’s fifty-fifty, right? Let’s not get greedy and follow Conrad Schroeder’s rules."
It was obvious the mustached man thought he couldn’t beat me, so he was worried I might hog the whole "secret."
But I had no clue about any secret, so I quickly patted my chest and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of guy. We split everything evenly!"
"Good brother, fair enough!" The mustached man gave me another thumbs-up.
"Let’s get going then, we can’t waste time. Things might change if we wait. I still gotta visit my grandfather’s grave." The mustached man rambled.
"Alright." I was secretly thrilled.
I followed the mustached man and walked forward.
Under the mountain was a canyon—the scenery wasn’t much different from up above.
After walking several kilometers, the mustached man finally stopped.
Right in front of us was a Stone Tablet, almost exactly like the one above!
I quickly crouched down and started carefully examining the Stone Tablet.
Sure enough, even the writing on the tablet was the same.
The only difference was that the Stone Tablet above was pure white, while this one was pitch black!
"So that’s it!"
My mind raced—I seemed to have figured something out!
Then I reached out and got ready to pull out the Stone Tablet.
The mustached man quickly stopped me, shaking his head. "My friend, you can’t pull that out!"
I stopped moving.
I looked at the mustached man and smiled. "Why can’t it be pulled out?"
The mustached man looked shocked. "If this Stone Tablet gets pulled out, dark energy will definitely explode! Don’t you know that?"
Hearing this, my smirk got even bigger.
"Just as I thought." I sneered.
I looked at the mustached man and said, "If this Stone Tablet gets pulled out, won’t the Dragon Vein above immediately burst with qi?"
"Isn’t that obvious!" The mustached man muttered.
I raised my head to look at the sky, and everything suddenly clicked in my mind!
This was clearly a Dragon Vein, yet there wasn’t a trace of spiritual energy anywhere!
The reason was simple—Yin and Yang were holding each other back, reaching perfect balance!
The Dragon Vein above represented Yang and the area beneath the Dragon Vein represented Yin!
That’s why this spot, which should’ve been overflowing with spiritual energy, was strangely ordinary!
If someone looked down from the sky, they’d even see the Tai Chi pattern in the landscape!
"This really is a masterpiece by an expert." I sighed a little.
I turned to the mustached man and said sincerely, "Thank you so much."
"Huh?" The mustached man looked confused.
Before he could ask anything, I was already gripping the golden light, getting ready to strike the Stone Tablet!
