Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaohua, who was never devoid of scheming, used his 'Earth Escape' technique to burrow deeper into the jade vein, hoping to uncover the mystic legacy of the path of immortality left by the Xiang Sect.
But after burrowing for quite a while, probably deep underground, he surprisingly didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Moreover, as he burrowed deeper, an increasingly potent force, something too formidable for any human to withstand, was pushing him upward.
"Maybe... my assumption is wrong? Even though the ground beneath Jiuhua Peak is filled with a rich concentration of heaven and earth energy, it might not be the place the Xiang Sect concealed their tutorial of the path of immortality," he pondered.
"Given the circumstances, I might as well excavate some more jade stone. If I can find some legendary 'jade marrow,' that would be even better."
