I can extract the essence of everything

Suspicious, Anna squatted in front of the stone tablet and carefully studied the three white characters on the stone tablet.

On the shore, after comforting Lin Xiaoyu, Xu Jun thought to himself.

Take some time, maybe I can try it again.

Expanded uses of other elemental abilities such as fire, lightning, and storm.

They should still have great potential to be tapped, and I am still too superficial in their use.

Today's accident has opened up some new ideas for me.

Well, take some time, I'd better experiment more.

The elemental ability of the "magic cube" may be more powerful than I thought.

While thinking secretly, I looked up and saw Anna squatting in front of the stone tablet.

Walking forward, Xu Jun also squatted down and asked: "What's wrong, Anna? Is there any problem with this stone tablet?"

"No, there is no problem, just..."

"Just what?"

"I have seen the font on this stone tablet."

"See it? Where have you seen it?"

"In an ancient book handed down in my family."

"Hmm? In an ancient book handed down in your family?"

"Hmm, that's right."

"This..." Hearing this, Xu Jun tapped his chin with his finger and frowned slightly.

Although Xu Jun couldn't understand what was written on the three characters on the stone tablet, according to the font style and structure, this should be a text from the East.

But such a text actually appeared in the ancient book handed down in Anna's family, which is a bit...

"Then do you know what the ancient book in your family mainly talks about?" Xu Jun asked again in confusion.

"Well, I once copied a picture from an ancient book and showed it to others.

At that time, they said that the picture was probably a nuclear-powered rocket, or some kind of nuclear-powered propulsion device.

But according to the sayings handed down by our ancestors, the picture was actually an astronomical instrument.

The ancestors called it the giant pillar that shook the stars.

It is a weapon for the gods to show their power to the world.

It does not exist in our world, but in a place called the Five Directions Continent. Anyway, it is said to be mysterious and I don’t know whether it is true or false.

But there is one thing, I just studied these three words carefully.

If our ancestors were right about the name of the thing drawn in the ancient book I just mentioned.

Then the word in the middle of the three words is probably the word "Xing".

Because this word overlaps with a word in the name of the giant pillar that shook the stars drawn in my family's ancient book.

Based on the position of this word in the ancient book, I speculate that this word is most likely the word "Xing".

"The word "Xing?"

"Hmm."

Hmm, Xu Jun lowered his head and pondered after hearing this.

X Star X, then this is probably a place name.

It is this lake, this island.

Or it is the place name of the palace hidden underground in the distant valley.

But which one is it, this, it is not yet possible to judge.

"Let's go, let's go to the front and take a look. No matter what is written on this stone tablet, we can't understand it anyway.

The underground palace is about to arrive, let's rush to the underground palace in one go."

"Well, okay." After Xu Jun finished speaking, Anna and the others agreed.

Then, the four people and one cat walked towards the entrance of the underground palace together.

However, the direction Xu Jun and the others went was different from that of Liu Yuxin and Su Muxue.

They went to the middle of the mountain, where there was a valley, and their destination was that valley.

Along the way, according to Zhang Yuan's map, the four people and one cat found the entrance to the underground palace very smoothly.

The entrance to the underground palace is next to a huge waterfall. The waterfall is really huge, with a vertical drop of at least three or four kilometers.

This is the first time Xu Jun has seen such a high waterfall.

Standing next to the waterfall, Xu Jun sighed in his heart.

The waterfall falls straight down three thousand feet, it seems like the Milky Way falls from the sky.

This poem is quite appropriate here.

Such a spectacular waterfall, if it can be developed into a tourist attraction...

Well, I've thought too much, let's go into the underground palace and take a look.

After collecting his mind, Xu Jun raised his legs and stepped into the underground palace.

After entering the underground palace, the first thing that caught his eye was an oval hall.

The hall is very large, and the area is at least more than 200 square meters.

Looking forward, in the center of the hall, there is a huge black stone platform.

On the stone platform, there is a statue with a damaged head.

The statue is very tall and wears a black robe. Judging from the body shape, it should be a statue of a male human.

Moving up, above the statue, at the top of the hall, is a natural arched dome.

The arched dome is made of stone and the surface is very smooth.

But at the intersection of the arched dome and the hall wall, it is very uneven.

It can even be said that there is a sense of jaggedness.

This situation looks very strange.

How to say it, the current dome of the hall is obviously not the original dome of the hall.

The construction materials are different, and the difference is very large.

The walls around the hall are all made of huge stones emitting a cold blue light.

But the huge dome on the top of the hall is just an ordinary rock.

And at the intersection of the top of the wall and the ordinary stone dome, because of the uneven joints, part of the material of the original dome of the hall is still left there.

It was a pure black slate with some crisscrossing red veins like a network of blood vessels, which looked quite eye-catching and dazzling.

Such stones are obviously not made of the same material as the ordinary white stone dome now.

In short, this hall gives people a feeling.

It's like its dome was torn off by some unknown force, and then the part under the dome was forcibly stuffed into the belly of the mountain.

However, this kind of forcible way of stuffing, while rough, makes the whole hall perfectly integrated into the belly of the mountain.

I have to say that this scene looks like a miracle.

Looking around, the cold blue light on the surrounding walls makes people feel numb.

This hall always feels a bit evil.

Retracting his gaze, he walked around the huge statue in the center of the hall.

Behind the statue, on the dark blue wall of the hall, three huge arches came into view.

After seeing the situation behind the arch, Xu Jun's guess was confirmed.

Behind the three arches, there are three corridors.

These three corridors are long and short.

The shortest one is less than two meters away from the arch at the end, and the end can be seen at a glance.

At the end of this corridor, there is a stone wall.

The surface of the stone wall is uneven and looks very uneven.

Walk to the end of the corridor.

There is still a very clear and uneven dividing line at the joint between the corridor and the stone wall.

This corridor is also like being torn off suddenly and then forcibly stuffed into the belly of the mountain.

Although the contact surface between the corridor wall and the original stone in the belly of the mountain is seamless, the difference in material is very obvious.

And this corridor originally obviously led to somewhere.

But now, its second half is gone.

In exchange, there are stones in the belly of the mountain.

Exit this corridor and enter another corridor that was cut off halfway to take a look.

The situation was similar. When we were halfway through, the back half of the corridor suddenly disappeared.

What we saw instead was still the ordinary stone wall in the belly of the mountain.

We exited the second corridor and came to the archway of the third corridor located between the two half corridors.

We looked up and could not see the end at a glance.

This corridor should lead to the interior of the underground palace.

"Let's go. Xiaoyu will follow me, Wanqing will follow Xiaoyu, and Anna will be at the end. Follow me closely, let's go in and take a look."
