"What's an Earth Spirit?"
Qian Lei looked puzzled; he'd never heard the term before.
Tang Yuge explained, "An Earth Spirit is the spirit of the earth element. When an element's energy becomes extremely concentrated, it can potentially give rise to sentience."
"Generally speaking, these elemental spirits only possess the most basic awareness and lack intelligence. The stones are moved by the Earth Spirits."
At this point, Tang Yuge narrowed her eyes. "I'll see if I can communicate with them. This place is actually very suitable for my cultivation."
As she spoke, she leaped up and landed on a Stone Golem's shoulder.
Strangely, the Stone Golem didn't seem to resist her.
Tang Yuge placed her delicate hand on the Stone Golem's head, and a yellowish-brown light surged from her body.
Her eyes also emitted a crystal-yellow light.
Everyone else paused, cautiously observing their surroundings.
After a moment, the Stone Golem crouched down and tapped the ground several times.
All the other Stone Golems began to gather around it.
"Amazing, Senior Sister seems to be able to communicate with the Stone Golems!" Lin Donghui couldn't help but exclaim.
This was likely related to her all-encompassing five elemental attributes.
"Xuan Yu, the situation doesn't seem good." After a short while, Tang Yuge returned to Xuan Yu's side and continued, "Beyond this mountain range lies the realm of the Gold Element, which will attack us, and their attacks are very strong. That's what I learned from the Earth Spirits. We need to be extra careful when we leave the mountain range!"
With that, she released her Earth Element aura, protecting everyone.
They proceeded, and no further attacks from Earth Spirits occurred.
Before long, the group reached the edge of the mountain range.
Looking outward, the world was a hazy yellow.
"Such a dense metallic element aura," Tang Yuge exclaimed. "Xuan Yu, you'll probably need to use your Spirit Armor Shield!"
"Mm!" Xuan Yu nodded, holding the Spirit Armor Shield, prepared to use it at any moment.
"I'm already at the peak of level fifty-nine, only one step away from level sixty. The Earth Element here is so concentrated. With a little time, I should be able to break through to Soul Emperor. Then, I'll gain a special soul skill that will greatly help our mining efforts. How about I break through here?"
Tang Yuge looked at Xuan Yu, blinking.
Xuan Yu was the captain; his word was final.
"Yes, I also have Earth Element control skills, and I can gather some for you! Everyone, take a break and provide her protection!"
As Xuan Yu spoke, he activated his Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul, waved his hand, and the surrounding Earth Element began to converge.
"You're truly a treasure!" Feeling the even more concentrated Earth Element, Tang Yuge's face lit up with joy. She immediately sat down cross-legged. The dense Earth Element formed a hurricane, enveloping her. A soft yellow light began to appear around Tang Yuge, and she entered a meditative state.
Her body was like a vortex, absorbing and devouring the Earth Element energy in the air.
The yellow light grew brighter and brighter.
Five hours later, a powerful soul force erupted from Tang Yuge's body. She cried out, "Break!"
The multicolored light on her body suddenly intensified.
With a "Boom!", a multicolored pillar of light shot into the sky.
Her eyes became even brighter.
Soul rings rose from beneath her feet – a total of six!
At 15 years old, she became a true six-ring Soul Emperor.
"Congratulations, Senior Sister," Xuan Yu said with a smile.
"Let's go." After the breakthrough, Tang Yuge's face showed excitement, and she took the lead.
The others quickly followed.
They only had forty-some hours left; they couldn't waste any time. Soon, they exited the ring-shaped mountain range.
As soon as they were out, they immediately felt a difference.
The wind was more violent, carrying particles like sand.
"They're metal fragments," Tang Yuge said, her expression serious after grabbing a handful and squeezing it.
"We need to hurry!"
With that, she began to act.
At this moment, they were at the intersection of two rare metal deposits.
"Ice House!" Xuan Yu shouted.
Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin, holding hands, condensed an Ice House, amplified by Xuan Yu's bloodline.
"It's a lot slower!" Dong Qianqiu's face wasn't good; there was too little Water Element in the air, slowing the condensation speed.
"Quick!" Xuan Yu shouted, as his five soul rings released, and a green Wind Element surged around his body, turning into a whirlwind and enclosing the group in the center.
At this moment, the surrounding light dimmed, and a dark mass of metal fragments, carried by the wind, swept toward them.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding!" A sharp, dense sound rang out.
A corner of the Ice House was instantly shattered.
Xuan Yu quickly used the Water Element to assist Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin in condensing the Ice House.
But at this moment, even more metal fragments rushed in.
Because he was distracted by using the Water Element, his Wind Element weakened somewhat.
Xuan Yu quickly focused again on using the Wind Element, forming a tornado to block out the metal fragments.
But even so, there were simply too many metal fragments, and some still managed to get inside.
This increased the difficulty of condensing the Ice House.
"The friction is too strong; the Ice House probably won't last long. Xuan Yu, you have to hold on!" Dong Qianqiu's voice carried over.
The others quickly used various methods to defend, preventing the metal fragments from damaging the Ice House.
Finally, the Ice House was completed, and Xuan Yu finished controlling the Wind Element.
Because the Ice House was sealed, no wind entered.
Just then, the Ice House shattered with a "Bang!".
Xuan Yu didn't hesitate to take out the Spirit Armor Shield and clenched it tightly.
A soft red glow emanated, enveloping everyone.
Only then did they see the scene outside.
The surroundings were dark, and countless metal fragments, swept by the violent wind, made the area like a living hell.
The metal fragments raged wildly, the wind howled, and the world changed color.
The piercing friction sound constantly came from the Spirit Armor Shield.
It looked like it was about to give way.
Fortunately, they had the Spirit Armor Shield; otherwise, with Xuan Yu's control of the Wind Element alone, the whirlwind he created could only hold for a moment.
Everyone prepared their defenses, their eyes alert.
Tang Yuge was currently working, and under great pressure, sweat beaded on her forehead.
The ground was too hard; it was difficult to excavate.
With a "Bang!", the first Spirit Armor Shield broke.
The storage ring flashed, and a second Spirit Armor Shield appeared in Xuan Yu's hand, instantly lighting up.
At this moment, Tang Yuge's body had already sunk completely into the ground.
"Be careful!" Xuan Yu warned, and light flashed across his body as he activated his Ancestral Dragon Body + Ancestral Dragon Claw + Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body.
His entire body was covered in golden-colored Ancestral Dragon scales, and a pair of dragon claws slammed into the ground.
With a "Bang!", a large chunk of rock was torn apart by his claws, and it flew up.
Tang Yuge, who was excavating, was startled.
Seeing that it was Xuan Yu's doing, she paused, then continued excavating.
"You can go down now!"
