643 The Energy Stone

“What should we look for?” Hei Gou looked around the various stones and vegetation that led down to the bank of the water. Although Bai Tianyi said that the energy depot was somewhere surrounding them, nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary, and neither were there any fluctuations in the air to show where the formation’s foundations might be hidden.

“The energy deposit is likely to be hidden within another kind of formation that is meant to enclose the ripples of power that would fluctuate in the air. It cannot be deeply buried into the ground either, so we have to scour the edge of the water and the band of land from No Man’s Land’s end until we find it.”

Having said this, Bai Tianyi began to look at the surroundings and picked a group of bushes not far away to examime. As they could not sense anything with spiritual energy, they simply had to look at everything in front of them and locate the formations that they were searching for.

Xue Wei was standing still, glancing at the strait where the waters had become calm once more, and then looked at his companions that were turning over stones and pushing through leaves and felt a little helpless.

He lifted his hand and clenched his fist as he looked at the numerous azure scales that began penetrating his skin from the flesh beneath, and placed a protective armor above his body.

The speed of his scales’ appearance was swift, and it only took a short time before his entire body had finished the transmorphing from a young human man into a majestic and collosal Azure Dragon.

The shape was large, and the physical force he commanded was also growing rapidly alongside his body’s expansion. Thrashing the ground would become much simpler now than before.

And that was exactly Xue Wei’s plan. Bai Tianyi had said that the formation to hide the aura and energy was somewhere alongside the banks of the strait, so his plan was to simply thrash everything until the formation had been broken. As long as it was broken, things would become much simpler.

Hei Gou and the others observed how Xue Wei had become a great dragon full of vitality, and how he was thrashing everything in his path. The stones were shattered and the plants uprooted. Trees were shattered and turned into fragments and woodchips fell to the ground.

.....

The landscape that had appeared idyllic only moments before had turned into an area filled with chaos and disaster.

The strait was long and the ground was big. Although Xue Wei was working hard at wrecking havoc, it still took him some time, as he did not leave a stone unturned.

However, after spending the majority of the day, Bai Tianyi’s excited voice cut through the air, stopping Xue Wei in his movements.

“It is here!”

Xue Wei’s body slowly reversed the previous transformation and the large body shrunk into the original size. Even so, he did not retract his azure scales, and the hands remained scaled with sharp nail-like claws.

“Look at this, this is really a treasure.” Bai Tianyi’s voice was filled with astonishment as he looked at the blue gem that was lying in the middle of a sandy pit created by Xue Wei.

The gem was not overly large, only the size of Xue Wei’s fist, but it was pulsating with overwhelming vitality, and the air seemed to be much more clear and pleasant as the formation hiding it had been destroyed.

“This is a special kind of spirit stone. Unlike most spirit stones, this one is likely to have been the foundation of another world. Usually, the many different worlds have their own formations of life, which will be able to provide the worlds with energy and resources that can make it develop and grow, but these formations often have a special foundation containing a heaven and earth treasure.

“The treasure in front of us is such a thing, and it makes sense that it has been capable of keeping the Hailong trapped for so long.”

The blue luster was pulsating within the gem and caused the surrounding people to look at it with fascination. Although the surrounding formation had been broken, the energy it emitted was not overwhelming or obvious, but the air was clearer and felt more pure, making no one doubt the power contained within.

“So, if we remove this gem, then the formation will break and Hailong can escape?” Xue Wei looked at the stone within the ditch. Although this gem was supposed to be the fuel that kept the larger formation in place, there were no traces surrounding it to hint towards its important function.

“Yes. The current situation of the formation is being maintained solely by this gem. The gem itself is also a great benefit for us. Although we are too weak to absorb the energy contained within directly, we can place the gem next to us while cultivating, and the energy surrounding us will be of a better quality, not to mention the speed with which we will advance.”

Bai Tianyi could not help but nod his head approvingly as he looked at the gem. It seemed that their decision to look for the formation had been the right one.

“Can we just take it away?” Although Xue Wei had already asked if they could take the gem, he still felt somewhat ambivalent when he found out that he could merely reach out his hand and just take the gem without encontering any troubles or dangers.
