Asura Emperor Venerable

Shi Hao sat down cross-legged.

In fact, the mine only being excavated to this point is a good thing, indicating that if Immortal King Gold was conceived here, it is highly likely still here.

— Immortal King Gold doesn't necessarily have to be exactly in the center of the mining area; it's just a higher probability there.

So, the current issue is how to locate the Immortal King Gold, and then dig towards it.

Shi Hao opened the Little Star Universe and then emptied his mind to start sensing.

He merged with the vein, thus naturally having thorough knowledge of every detail "inside".

But how can a vein merge with a body?

Others can't do it, but Shi Hao can.

Within the Little Star Universe, the Sun Dharma Aspect, Stone Sphere Dharma Appearance, and so on have been charged with numerous rules by him, turning from illusion into reality. Therefore, such real objects can become a part of his body; why can't other real objects?

Moreover, he's not intending to permanently occupy this Immortal Stone Mine, just to sense it for a short while.

Time passed slowly, and Shi Hao sat motionless like a stone.

Three days, five days, Shi Hao remained completely still.

Luckily, this location is already deep within the mine shaft, and others are either trapped in darkness, unable to get this deep, or are fervently mining Raw Stones, not intending to go further.

So, Shi Hao was left undisturbed.

Woo Yueyi watched, feeling subtle waves in her heart.

Shi Hao really has patience.

Generally speaking, a genius like Shi Hao, so young, must be tremendously proud and unlikely to possess such patience and embrace solitude.

But Shi Hao managed to do it.

However, can you really find Immortal King Gold by just sitting like that?

Isn't that too exaggerated?

Shi Hao's Little Star Universe unfolded, enough to encompass the whole vein.

He discovered that this vein wasn't an entire block but rather like stones packed tightly in a room, with gaps left between the stones.

These individual stones were the Raw Stones.

No wonder the mining output is Raw Stone and not Immortal Stone blocks, because Immortal Stones are wrapped in the Raw Stone shell, which locks in the rules. Otherwise, bare Immortal Stones would slowly lose their Immortal Rule, ultimately becoming ineffective.

Precisely because of this, Shi Hao could maneuver.

Inspecting Raw Stones one by one, at most Shi Hao could examine twenty at a time, and it would fateful years to search the whole mining area.

However, he extended his Little Star Universe through the gaps between Raw Stones continuously.

He believed that Immortal King Gold must be special, with waves emanating from it.

But with the stone shell, even unique waves would be very faint, so his progress was slow, necessitating inch-by-inch searching.

Seven days, ten days, eleven days!

Shi Hao suddenly shivered, his body trembling, breaking out into a smile of joy.

He found it, he finally found it!

He immediately began digging.

Huh?

Woo Yueyi, who had been observing him, became curious when she saw him suddenly start to move, wondering what he was doing.

Shi Hao dug with a definite target in mind, even though the distance was great, it didn't take too long.

Three days later, Shi Hao had reached the spot.

He extracted a Raw Stone about the size of a human head, his face beaming with a smile.

"Are you sure this is Immortal King Gold?" Woo Yueyi asked.

Shi Hao directly processed the stone, chipping away the layers of stone skin, revealing the true appearance inside.

What the—!

Shi Hao almost cursed, for inside there wasn't Immortal Gold, but a blade of grass.

This is too ordinary, just a small blade of grass, looking no different from any random wild grass outside.

Shi Hao couldn't believe it, as the fluctuations from this Raw Stone felt uniquely distinct, giving him an imposing pressure. How could it not be Immortal King Gold?

"This is—" Woo Yueyi became moved and said to Shi Hao, "Can you give me this blade of grass? I can purchase it, the price will definitely satisfy you."

"Is it very precious?" Shi Hao asked in surprise. To him, it looked like an ordinary blade of grass.

"Do you think this blade of grass is too ordinary?" Woo Yueyi asked back.

Shi Hao nodded.

"You're right, it's originally an incredibly ordinary wild grass," Woo Yueyi said, "However, an ordinary blade of grass that can withstand Immortal King-level rules is endowed with endless possibilities."

Only then did Shi Hao become moved. Indeed, how could an ordinary blade of grass hold the rules of an Immortal King?

Thus, this wild grass is impressive, certainly containing endless possibilities.

"Alright." Shi Hao immediately tossed the not fully opened Raw Stone to Woo Yueyi. With the stone skin enveloping it, the best preservation method was to lock the flow of rules as much as possible.

Woo Yueyi looked at Shi Hao, who knew full well the value of this grass yet gave it to her without hesitating; how could this not astonish her?

What kind of magnanimity? What kind of spirit?

She found herself a bit captivated.

Shi Hao was quite speechless, thinking he had found Immortal King Gold, but ended up disappointed.

On to the next one.

Shi Hao opened the Little Star Universe again to continue the search.

Woo Yueyi watched Shi Hao from the side. This guy was astonishingly able to find what he needed within the vein; such an ability couldn't even be achieved by an Immortal King, could it?

She gazed at Shi Hao in a daze, feeling her thoughts drifting away.

Two more days passed, and Shi Hao found another Raw Stone with unusual fluctuations.

It wasn't too far away.

Shi Hao aimed at the location and started digging.

This time, it was quick, taking only half a day to reach the spot.

Shi Hao extracted a Raw Stone, also the size of a human head, and after a few cuts, light radiated dazzlingly, and an indescribable pressure circulated, as if capable of suppressing everything.

But it only lasted for a moment before the light dimmed, revealing through the window cut open that beneath the stone skin was a pool of blue liquid, boiling with thunderous light, indescribably terrifying.

Was this another mistake?

"Myriad Thunder True Gold!" exclaimed the Purple Gold Rat and Woo Yueyi simultaneously.

Huh?

Woo Yueyi glanced at the Purple Gold Rat; this rat actually recognized Immortal King Gold!

Immortal King Gold is just a general term. Different Immortal King-level rules naturally give birth to different Immortal King Golds. Ordinary people could never have seen Immortal King Gold, so how could they instantly identify its true name?

— Woo Yueyi knew because she had read an illustrated book specifically introducing Immortal King Gold, written by her father.

So how did this rat know?

The Purple Gold Rat realized its slip and quickly cast a glance upwards, assuming an expression of innocence.

"Myriad Thunder True Gold?" Shi Hao said, "Is this stuff also Immortal Gold?"

"Yes." Woo Yueyi nodded, no longer paying attention to the Purple Gold Rat, "This is thunder attribute Immortal Gold, and at the Immortal King level."

"Isn't this liquid?" Shi Hao rubbed his nose, liquid metal?
