Chapter 994 - Unearthing The Collapsed Area

Lin Mu gazed towards a particular location, having discovered something there.
"Let's go." Lin Mu spoke and Jing Luo followed behind.
The two of them appeared over what looked like broken ground. It was a very common scene considering the explosion that had happened and looked no different than the many other areas.
Jing Luo extended his spirit sense but didn't find anything there.
"It's really here?" Jing Luo asked.
"Oh yeah, it's here." Lin Mu replied.
"I can't feel anything, though." Jing Luo spoke.
"That's understandable. It's not in this world." Lin Mu replied.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Jing Luo questioned.
"It'll be easier to show you." Lin Mu answered and descended.
He extended his fist downward and punched out.
~BOOM~
A burst of spirit Qi traveled straight down and dug the ground apart, leaving behind a two meter wide hole that went at least ten meters deep.
Jing Luo raised his brows in surprise at this display of power. While he could do the same at his cultivation base, it would certainly not be this casual.
Lin Mu hadn't even used Boulder Collapsing fist this time.
He descended downwards and punched again when they reached the bottom of the hole and there was nothing there.
~Boom~ Boom~ boom~
Lin Mu ended up doing this three more times until he finally reached the place they were looking for. It was a mostly collapsed hall, and it was hard to tell that it was even a place that was actually a base before.
The explosion had really removed any signs of it.
"No wonder I couldn't find it. If its this damaged, it would be impossible to spot." Jing Luo said.
"I would be the same if not for the faint spatial fluctuations coming from here." Lin Mu replied.
"Huh? Spatial fluctuations! You mean to say…" Jing Luo said with surprise.
"Mmhmm… they might have a minor plane hidden here." Lin Mu stated.
Hearing this, a thought immediately came to Jing Luo's mind.
"Wait! Can it be…" Jing Luo was about to speak, but Lin Mu interrupted him before that.
"There is a chance that it is here. I'll have to see. It could also be that this was one of the entrances." Lin Mu explained.
Jing Luo nodded his head and let Lin Mu do his thing.
~step~ step~ Step~
Lin Mu walked towards a particular area that had some traces of runes and inscriptions left on the ground. The surrounding rubble had similar runes carved on them too, but it was hard to properly tell now.
"It's near, no doubt." Lin Mu said as he closed his eyes.
His spirit sense scanned the area in detail before he extended his right hand towards it.
~shua~
The ring activated and showed its power under Lin Mu's command.
~Rip~
Soon, the air in front of them started to tear apart as a black crack appeared there. The black crack kept on expanding until an opening in the void was established.
~huu~
"There we go." Lin Mu said, while taking a deep breath.
Jing Luo carefully peered into the tear in the space and felt cold sweat appearing on his back. He had never been this close to an unsecured entrance to the Lesser void and even if he was at the Dao Shell realm, he was no less nervous.
"I… don't see anything here." Jing Luo spoke.
"Yeah, it seems to have collapsed, mostly." Lin Mu replied. "But there are still some traces left." He added before extending his hand into the tear.
Jing Luo watched carefully as the spatial energy leaking out of the void started to stir around Lin Mu's hand. Lin Mu stood there with his hand inside the tear for about five minutes before finally they saw something.
"W-what is that?" Jing Luo spotted the object appearing from the distance.
"Whatever is left of that minor plane… or it would be more accurate to call it a pocket dimension instead; similar to that of a spatial storage treasure." Lin Mu replied.
The object got closer and its appearance became cleared. The void was mostly dark, though from time to time streaks and sparkles of light could be seen coming randomly from the distance.
Thus, it was often hard to make out what was actually in there unless it was close to your sight.
Once the object fully reached where the tear was, both Lin Mu and Jing Luo got to observe it properly.
"An… Altar?" Jing Luo realized.
What floated in front of them was a partial altar. It had evidently been broken off during the explosion or perhaps even before that during the spatial collapse.
But that was not the most important thing. What was more important was a pale red crystal that was kept on it. The crystal was held in place with six metal prongs that firmly clasped it in place.
Those prongs were perhaps the only reason why the crystal had not separated from the partial altar.
~shua~
Lin Mu pulled the altar out and rested it down on the ground before closing the spatial tear. It was always unsafe if an unsecured spatial tear was left open. Even if it was Lin Mu who had opened it, there were always chances of an accident.
Jing Luo and Lin Mu studied the altar and the crystal on it.
"The stone this altar is made from is porous basalt that has been refined in earth flames. A rather unique choice of structural material." Jing Luo spoke.
"What do you think about the prongs that hold the crystal in place?" Lin Mu questioned, unable to recognize the metal.
"Hmm…" Jing Luo probed the prongs with his spirit sense, but was unable to figure out what it exactly was.
"Seems like an alloy of at least six metals. I'll have to smelt it down if I want to tell what they are." Jing Luo said in the end.
"I See…" Lin Mu said before trying to touch the pale red crystal.
~humm~
But the moment he did, he felt something stir within the ring!
