Chapter 1152 - Danger
Liu Wuxie swung his pickaxe deep in the mine, knocking a chunk of raw stone to the ground.
When it hit the ground, he immediately sensed the intense energy pulsing inside.
"Such pure energy," he muttered, eyes gleaming.
He placed his palm over the stone, and dozens of fist-sized astral stones spilled out, glowing with a soft, moonlit radiance that lit the mine.
"Brother Liu, the guards forbade slaves from separating astral stones from raw stone. You'll get us killed," He Yingwu warned.
"Who said I'm taking them out?" Liu Wuxie said with a sly grin.
With a wave of his hand, the astral stones disappeared into the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, safely stored for his future breakthrough.
He Yingwu revealed a bitter smile and went back to digging.
More raw stones piled up around them, and Liu Wuxie continued extracting astral stones. Within hours, he collected hundreds, and satisfaction lit up his face.
With this, he could make a breakthrough to the Heaven Profound Realm. Once he advanced, he could face the Transcendent Realm guards head-on.
He needed to cultivate fast. The astral beast horde was only a month away, but he couldn't even get near one in his current state, let alone control it.
Staring at the heap of raw stones, Liu Wuxie stopped. If he turned in too little, the guards would grow suspicious. He and He Yingwu loaded the raw stones into a cart and began pushing it toward the surface.
