Chapter 566: Five Magnetic Divine Lights

Although it was tiny, he was certain. It was identical to the Five Magnetite Mountain! His heart pounded. He finally knew where he was: the final resting place of the Five Elements Divine Lord!

This very spot had previously been excavated by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, who unearthed a mysterious, incomplete scripture of the "Five Elements Divine Art." From it, Jiang Fan had even gleaned a section, "Five Flowing Forces," which could only be described as a miraculous creation technique.

He never imagined that, by sheer coincidence, he would be transported to the Five Elements Divine Lord's final resting place.

"Wait!" Jiang Fan suddenly realized that his teleportation here was no coincidence at all! The world was vast, spanning hundreds of miles. What were the chances of being teleported directly into a demon camp?

He was teleported here because this place attracted the Five Magnetite Mountain! This attraction had altered the spatial teleportation, redirecting Jiang Fan to this very spot.

This thought brought him sudden enlightenment. There were no true coincidences in the world, only underlying, unknown causes and effects.

Looking at the stone before him, Jiang Fan asked, "Is this the only one?"Seeing Jiang Fan's interest, Jueying breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "There are plenty more in the cave. If the Envoy is interested, feel free to take them all."

He secretly thought to himself, "They're useless anyway." These stones, colorful and incredibly heavy, appeared quite extraordinary. Yet, no matter how he pondered, he couldn't find any use for them. For this purpose, he had even captured some human martial artists and had them try to activate the stones with spiritual energy, but it was still useless.

Jiang Fan's heart stirred, and he said, "First, take me to see the cave dwelling." Since the Flowing Thunder Force was attracted to this place, there had to be a reason. It couldn't be as simple as just these tiny stones.

Jueying readily agreed, "Envoy, please follow me." Accompanied by him, Jiang Fan entered the ice cave, traversing its intricate passages. Deep within the ice cave, they finally saw a secret chamber constructed from five-colored stones. These stones were identical to the Five Magnetite Mountain! However, for some reason, they weren't fused together as tightly as the Five Magnetite Mountain. The Five Magnetite Mountain in his embrace also began to tremble slightly as they approached the chamber. Indeed, it was attracted by the ruins.

The stone door of the secret chamber had long been smashed into various-sized fragments, scattered across the floor. The interior was completely empty."Only stones are left," Jueying said, concerned that Jiang Fan might misunderstand that he had taken the treasures. "This chamber was opened many years ago and thoroughly plundered. Aside from these heavy stones, not a single speck was left."

He had thoroughly searched every nook and cranny inside and outside the chamber, and truly nothing remained, save for a pile of broken stones.

He had stopped bothering with the chamber half a month ago. If it weren't for wanting to curry favor with Jiang Fan today, he wouldn't have bothered coming.

"My Lord Envoy, if you are interested in these stones, I will have them moved back to the demon tribe at once." Jueying's eyes showed apprehension. The chamber was empty; the Envoy would likely be very disappointed, wouldn't he?

Jiang Fan suppressed his excitement and said, "No rush. I want to examine this chamber first. If it's convenient, could you leave me here alone?"

Jueying secretly chuckled. This guy still wasn't giving up. Including him, this secret chamber had already been plundered twice. What could possibly be left? However, it was best that Jiang Fan was interested in this. He had granted a favor, and their accounts were now settled.

"Of course, of course!" Jueying said. "Envoy, take your time looking. I will take my leave. Come on, don't disturb the Envoy!"

He led the group of demons away, leaving Jiang Fan alone, who lovingly stroked the chamber as if it were a treasure. "Well, I'll be, so many stones from the Five Magnetite Mountain!" he murmured excitedly. "In terms of volume, it's no less than a new Five Magnetite Mountain. If I can integrate all these stones into the Five Magnetite Mountain, its power would surely double, wouldn't it?"

Currently, the Five Magnetite Mountain's suppressive power was somewhat lacking even against cultivators at the ninth layer of Core Formation. Back then, Yao Yue had managed to withstand it, and Fang Taiji, a cultivator at the perfected ninth layer of Core Formation, had even blasted it away with a single punch. Its suppressive power urgently needed improvement.

However, before that, he still somewhat reluctantly entered the secret chamber to inspect it, hoping to find any overlooked items. Yet, after a thorough inspection, Jiang Fan sighed: "I was overthinking it. They aren't blind, nor are they fools; any inspection method I could think of, they would have thought of too." He had meticulously examined every single stone, including infusing spiritual energy, fire-baking, water-soaking, sound-testing, and so on, but found no useful clues on them. It was as if it were just an ordinary stone chamber.

"That shouldn't be the case," Jiang Fan said, furrowing his brow. "If the Five Elements Divine Lord wanted to pass away, wouldn't any random cave suffice? Why go through all the trouble of building a separate secret chamber with Five Magnetite Mountain stones just to die inside?" He vaguely sensed something was amiss but couldn't pinpoint the reason.

It was the Black Mirror Evil Spirit who enlightened him with a single sentence: "I suspect this secret chamber is related to his legacy. The Five Elements Divine Lord was always meticulous in his actions; every word and deed held deep meaning. This secret chamber, as you said, wouldn't have been built without reason. Presumably, he wanted to leave something for his inheritor, but he didn't want it to be obtained by unrelated individuals. Alas, his legacy has long been severed, where would one even begin to look...""What are you doing?"

The Evil Spirit was surprised to discover that Jiang Fan's eyes lit up, and he placed a hand on the stone wall. An unusual power surged from his body. This was not physical strength in the usual sense, but a mysterious, subtle, almost ethereal power, faintly imbued with the essence of thunder. It was none other than the Flowing Thunder Force. As the Flowing Thunder Force entered the stone wall, a surprising sight appeared before Jiang Fan. The thunder force immediately adhered to the surface of the stone wall, emitting flickering lightning—one, two, three, countless streaks. When all the flickering thunder arcs connected together, they formed a passage of text!

"'Five Magnetite Divine Radiance?'" the Evil Spirit exclaimed excitedly. "Kid, this is one of the Five Elements Divine Lord's two ultimate skills! One is the 'Five Flowing Forces,' and the other is this 'Five Magnetite Divine Radiance'! He built this secret chamber with a hidden purpose after all; he left behind a cultivation technique for his inheritor!"

"Wait!" The Evil Spirit suddenly realized, asking with surprise and doubt, "Did you just use the 'Five Flowing Forces?' Those thunder arcs didn't look like ordinary lightning at all; instead, they resembled Jiang Fan's own power."

Knowing he couldn't hide it, Jiang Fan said, "Yes, I just learned it a while ago." The Evil Spirit gasped, "You... where did you get it?"

Jiang Fan then explained the origin of the "Five Elements Divine Art." After hearing it, the Evil Spirit's heart nearly shattered.

"Are you saying you got the 'Five Elements Divine Art' by spending just a tiny bit of contribution points?"Jiang Fan replied indignantly, "Mind your words. Was that a tiny bit of contribution points? It was a full ten thousand, ten thousand points I risked my life for..."He hadn't finished speaking when the Evil Spirit practically spat in his face. "What are contribution points compared to that?! Do you know how many extraterrestrial divine sects and great cultivation factions are searching for the 'Five Elements Divine Art'? Just those I know of number five! Each one is a colossal force with a God Transformation stage cultivator overseeing it! And one of those great factions even has the shadow of a Sage behind it!"
