Chapter 241: Chapter 192: Spirit Weapon_2 Chapter 241: Chapter 192: Spirit Weapon_2 Then,

Chen Mu carefully examined the stone cave again.

Although there were some fluorescent dots of minerals on the stone walls everywhere, they were all jade mines of low value.

“At such a deep place, there’s a cave that isn’t completely submerged by water, there should be more than just these things…,”

Chen Mu wore a thoughtful expression, and even though he couldn’t see any treasures, he didn’t leave immediately.

Instead, he followed one corner of the stone wall, applying the Artistic Conception of Gen Mountain, and carefully sensed along the wall.

The cave was neither too large nor too small, almost twenty zhang in circumference.

Now, Chen Mu carefully sensed and explored along the walls, leaving no stone unturned, but after nearly making a full circle and carving more than ten holes in the rock wall, the outcome was meager, with just a small piece of ‘flowing gold ore’ barely worth noting.

Seeing that his exploration was nearly complete, Chen Mu couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

Perhaps it was because he had read too many strange adventure stories that he had expected too much, making it seem like this cave could just be an ordinary stone cave with nothing else inside.

However,

just as Chen Mu was about to finish examining the last corner, he suddenly stopped, staring blankly at the rock wall beside him.

The wall looked no different from the rest, but Chen Mu’s Artistic Conception of Gen Mountain sensed that about two feet deep, there was a hollow area without the flow of Earth Pulse’s Power.

“Two feet…

that’s a bit too deep,”

Chen Mu frowned slightly.

The rock walls here all had the flow of Earth’s Power, making them very difficult to break through.

Not to mention two feet, even an inch or two would require him to chip away bit by bit with Yuan Gang Force.

To reach a depth of about two feet, with his pace of excavation, it might take half a day’s work.

If there was indeed just a hollow area inside with nothing else, then he would just be wasting a lot of time here.

But in the end, Chen Mu still swung the Flowing Fire Blade toward the wall.

It wasn’t that he wanted to take a gambit, but since he had already spent effort carefully checking around the cave, it would have been a waste to give up upon finding something peculiar.

If it weren’t for following Han Guang, he probably wouldn’t have found this deeply hidden cave.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!!

The Flowing Fire Blade, wrapped in Yuan Gang True Essence, chopped at the rock wall, constantly colliding with the circulating Power of the Earth’s Veins, carving out slashes in the wall and gradually deepening a hole.

Like a prisoner in a stone cell, slowly chiseling out a path of light.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Mu thrust the Flowing Fire Blade deeply, piercing through all at once, breaking the last thin layer of rock, revealing a hole.

Just one look inside the hole, and Chen Mu was instantly stunned.

Inside,

the hole was an extremely narrow cave, about three feet in diameter, but in the center of this cave sat a skeleton, which seemed to have been deceased for an unknown length of time.

There was nothing else around the skeleton, just an ordinary black Short Spear placed in front of it.

“This wasn’t man-made, but rather, over tens of thousands of years, the deceased was gradually ‘swallowed’ by the rock wall during the movement of Earth’s Veins, but how could it have formed such a hollow cave instead of being completely sealed in the rock layer…”

Confusion flickered in Chen Mu’s eyes.

Then, he looked at the only item inside the cave, the short spear embedded in the rock layer.

Hum.

Chen Mu reached out his hand, Yuan Gang True Essence traveled along the hole into the cave, then condensed into an invisible hand, grasped the dark short spear, and began to pull it out.

But almost instantly as Chen Mu’s Gang Power touched the dark short spear, a burst of purple Thunder Arc suddenly erupted from the spear, crackling loudly, instantly pulverizing the nearby skeleton into dust, and forcefully scattering Chen Mu’s Gang Power, which still intertwined with threads of Thunder Arc on its surface.

Watching this scene,

a glimmer finally crossed Chen Mu’s eyes.

“No wonder the Earth’s Veins didn’t completely swallow this place, but formed a hollow cave instead,”

Spirit Weapon!

This dark Ancient Spear is a Spirit Weapon!

Above all artifacts in the world, only ‘Spirit Weapons’ surpass the quality of Treasured Artifacts, and the biggest difference between a Spirit Weapon and a Treasured Artifact is that even the highest quality Treasured Artifact, like the Flowing Fire Blade, requires its wielder’s control to unleash its power, whereas a Spirit Weapon inherently possesses the ability to store the Power of Heaven and Earth!

Like his Spirit Jade Pendant, it is actually close to the category of ‘Spirit Weapon,’ but only halfway there.

This dark Ancient Spear, alongside that skeleton that has been laid here for who knows how many hundreds or thousands of years and being gradually swallowed by the moving rock layers of Earth’s Veins, can still spontaneously unleash the power of thunder, obviously beyond the reach of any Mortal Weapon or Treasured Artifact.

Only a Spirit Weapon could achieve such a feat!

Hum.

A flash of light in Chen Mu’s eyes, Yuan Gang Force surged out from his body once again, reaching out through the air to grasp the ancient spear.

Remnants of Thunder Arc still lingering on the ancient spear exploded again, once more transforming into a purple lightning, but this time it didn’t completely disperse Chen Mu’s Yuan Gang Force; instead, they began fiercely clashing.
