As they listened to the stories of the miners, the people from top sects fell in deep shock. Some of them
had their mouths agape as they froze stunned from what they heard.
''There are many creatures sealed in the special ruling crystals, '' they eximed inwardly.
They had already witnessed one of the ancient creatures came back to life. The flying demonic monkey
had long been sealed in a special ruling crystal. The resurrection of the demonic monkey had terrified
most of the people.
The terrors brought by that monkey had been devastating. Now that they found out that there were a lot
more creatures in that mine, they could not help but think of the worst. Each of them felt a chill of fear
deep within their bones.
Since they were too scared, the mine workers hurried out of the mine without seeing what was in the
special ruling crystals in the hall a few moments ago. They did not have a clear idea of what those
crystals contained.
Only Austin and Earth Hermit knew what was inside the crystals. They both saw that the special ruling
crystals contained what looked like ancient people who lived in the East Maind.
Even the leaders and other senior members of the holynds, prominent ns, and first-ss sects
had bothered themselves to travel towards the Northern Mine District. They wanted to figure out what
truly was going on with those perilous mines.
The leaders knew that the creatures from the mines might be too dangerous. However, they could not
waste the opportunity to study and find out more about the creatures. They wanted to discover what
they were.
"Back off. I will get those things out myself,"
the reclusive elder of the Rudimentary Holy Land said loudly as he took a step forward.
The stern expression on his face made the rest of the people floating mid-air step back.
In just a stretch of the elder''s hand, a tremendous amount of vital energy formed into a gigantic palm.
As the palm materialized in the air, the intense forceing from it rolled off in waves. The people near
the area felt how strong it was. The elder made a move and aimed the palm to the ground.
The palm hit the ground fiercely, creating a thunderous noise as it smashed.
The powerful hit released an overwhelming vital energy force. Puffs of dust and sand spread into the
air like a smoke bomb. Some of the mud and sand were even blown away several kilometers away
from where they had once been.
After that powerful hit, the elder continued to smash the ground using the giant palm. Each forceful hit
echoed in the area.
After a few more hits, a huge hole finally appeared in the ground. The hole was about a thousand
meters wide.
The hall spotted by the miners was at the bottom of the hole.
Everyone peeked and saw what the hall looked like.
Ruling crystals piled up inside the hall. They glinted brilliantly in the sun.
Each of the crystals was about two meters tall.
As the people around observed the crystals, they spotted something inside each of them.
There had been a lot more special ruling crystals, but Earth Hermit had already taken all those crystals
without creatures inside.
There were only more than sixty special ruling crystals left untouched in this spacious lobby.
The reclusive elder wasted no time and made his next move.
Upon seeing the crystals, he controlled the giant palm and grabbed all those crystals in the hall. He
ced each of them gently on the ground near the hole.
As soon as the ruling crystals were ced on the ground, the core members of the top sects became
more interested in them. They headed beside each of those crystals one by one and started to study
them. They scanned all of the crystals and were stunned to find out what was inside.
"What''s in these crystals is our kind! They are not evil things!" one of the elders eximed as his eyes
widened in amazement.
"You are right! Wait! Look here! This is one of our elders from our holynd during the ancient years.
I saw his portrait once in our Holy Tomb.
I couldn''t believe that he was sealed here all this time," the holy lord of the Arcane Holy Land
eximed as his eyes rested on an elder in one of the ruling crystals.
He pointed at the crystals as the others turned their attention to him.
"This elder is wearing the clothes that our members used to wear during ancient years. Was he a
master of our holynd?" the holy lord of the Rudimentary Holy Land said in a surprised tone.
He was also gaping at one crystal, amazed at what he was seeing at the moment.
The leaders of the top sects found several ancient people and suspected that they used to be members
of their sects.
It seemed like many strong cultivators who lived in ancient times from the holynds, prominent ns,
and first-ss sects with a long history had been sealed in these special ruling crystals since ancient
times. Some of them were even strong and prominent ones.
''What''s all this? Howe so many great masters from ancient East Maind had ended up being
sealed here like this?'' They managed to ask several questions despite the shock they were
experiencing.
They could not believe that those great masters from the past had been sealed in here.
When they regained theirposure, they took a closer look at the ancient people in those special
ruling crystals. They noticed that each of them was skinny as if they had lost too much water inside
their bodies.
"I was wondering if this elder is still alive," the reclusive elder of the Rudimentary Holy Land mumbled,
as he stared at an old man in one of the crystals in disbelief.
His brows furrowed in confusion as he gaped at it.
He was hesitant at first, but then he thought carefully about it. After a few seconds, he pointed at the
ruling crystal in front of him.
Swoosh!
A powerful vital energy force came out from his finger and rushed towards the crystal.
At first, all they heard was dead silence. Then, a crack resounded in the area.
They all watched as the ruling crystal broke into pieces.
The reclusive elder of the Rudimentary Holy Land came up with a smart method to free the elder from
the ruling crystal without hurting him at all.
As soon as the ruling crystal broke, the scrawny elder inside it threatened to fall on the ground.
Just before his body made contact with the ground, the reclusive elder of the Rudimentary Holy Land
flicked his sleeve. A soft power was released and instantly reached the elder. The force made the elder
float mid-air.
The thin elder had his eyes closed as if he was in a deep slumber.
"It seems like this elder is still alive," the reclusive elder of the Rudimentary Holy Land gushed.
He had already checked the elder''s pulse using his spiritual sense.
After assuring that the method he used was effective, the reclusive elder then moved on to another
ruling crystal. He saved other elders who used to be a part of the Rudimentary Holy Land.
Upon seeing what the elder did, the holy lord and other elders of the Rudimentary Holy Land flocked
around him in an instant.
The rest of the people from other forces were shaken up as they stood there and watched.
''Are these other elders stuck in these ruling crystals still alive too?'' they wondered as they scanned the
other crystals.
"Perhaps these elders from our holynd who were trapped in these crystals did not perish too!" the
holy lord of the Arcane Holy Land eximed in delight.
He had seen how the reclusive elder freed the locked up elders a while ago.
With a wave of his hand, he released several streaks of vital energy force.
They came into different directions and shattered five ruling crystals at once.
Five elders sealed inside the crystals got out and appeared on their sights.
The other members of the Arcane Holy Land immediately surrounded the five elders.
The core members of the Vasteras Holy Land, the three prominent ns, and some first-ss sects
followed suit. They began saving the people of their sects who were also sealed inside the ruling
crystals.
More and more ancient people were freed from the ruling crystals. Their skinny figures stayed floating
mid-air as the other members of their sects crowded around them.
"What a bunch of idiots. They are getting these elders in our East Maind killed."
The Earth Hermit''s voice was full of regret as it resounded in Austin''s Soul Sea.
"What do you mean?" Austin asked with a puzzled look on his face.
He had no idea what Earth Hermit meant by that.
"These ancient people are on the verge of death after being sealed in these ruling crystals for a long
time.
They are going to die unless they will get an elixir that could heal anything or a miracle would happen.
If they had not left those ruling crystals, they could have continued to live like a preserved vegetable.
But these fools got them out of the ruling crystals. These ancient people will be dead soon,"
Earth Hermit exined carefully.
"I see," Austin replied with a nod.
Although he did not fully understand what the Earth Hermit was saying, he believed him.
''People call him the Earth Hermit. I bet no one knows more about tombs, adventure, and history in the
East Maind than he does. He must be better at these fieldspared to those holy lords and
reclusive elders from the holynds.
So I choose to believe what he said. These people are doing a big mistake, '' Austin mused.
