Tan Yu's gaze turned to the mountains, discovering that the vein of Green Crystal Stone had mysteriously disappeared. No matter how he employed his Soul Power to probe, he couldn't find a trace of it.
Instantly, Tan Yu gritted his teeth in anger, secretly acknowledging Lin Chen's impressive methods. This Concealment Formation was not something an average Formation Master could achieve.
Now, the entire Green Crystal Stone vein had vanished before his eyes, and despite Tan Yu's various efforts, he could not discern it, making his fists clench tightly in frustration.
"Lin Chen, mark my words, I've noted this debt, and I won't let you off easily."
At this moment, with the entire Green Crystal Stone vein disappearing, Tan Yu couldn't even locate the vein, let alone mine it.
Of course, Tan Yu remembered the location of the Green Crystal Stone vein, but he dared not rashly approach and touch it. Who knew if Lin Chen's Great Formation had other traps? Such reckless actions could be tantamount to courting death.
Having no other choice, Tan Yu, unable to locate even the Green Crystal Stone vein, naturally couldn't compete with Lin Chen for the mining rights and ultimately could only turn around and leave.
And this time, Tan Yu truly left and did not return again.
Seeing this, Lin Chen was finally able to settle his mind and focus on mining the Green Crystal Stone.
Lin Chen and Little Profound Turtle continued mining for almost half a month until the mineral vein was nearly exhausted, enough to set up the Teleportation Array. Then, he left the island with Little Profound Turtle.
At the moment, the most important task for Lin Chen was to set up the Teleportation Array as quickly as possible. As for mining the Green Crystal Stone mine, since the mineral vein wasn't going anywhere, Lin Chen was not in a hurry.
Moreover, after properly establishing the link between the two realms with the formation, Lin Chen could have the Giant Race mine it. The Giant Race is skilled, and back on Huangyu Continent, they built their own structures themselves. Mining spiritual ores is their specialty.
By the time the Giant Race mines the mineral vein, this thousand-mile-long mountain may be fully extracted in less than a year.
Lin Chen recorded the location of this island on the Star Map to ensure he could find it again in the future.
Actually, since Lin Chen had set up a Formation here, he wasn't afraid of losing his way. Once activating the Abyssal Eye, the formation's concealment could not hinder Lin Chen's sight or perception.
After recording the island's location, Lin Chen turned and left, continuing his flight northward. Ten days later, Lin Chen encountered an even larger island, much larger than the previous Qingbi Island.
That's right, Qingbi Island is the name Lin Chen gave to the island with the Green Crystal Stone. In Lin Chen's plans, this place was intended to be his territory in the future.
Looking at the distant island, Lin Chen immediately activated the Abyssal Eye to probe the island, discovering an innumerable amount of grand halls, sprawling endlessly.
Lin Chen speculated that this island might be an ancient Sect from Tianliu Continent, much larger in scale than the Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
On the distant island, several towering peaks reached the sky, with numerous pavilions, attics, and palaces built upon them.
Some of those structures were nearly intact, while others were already in ruins.
This island was so vast that even Lin Chen, using the Abyssal Eye, could not see its end. He wasn't sure if the island was a piece of land in the swamp below or if the end of the swamp was approaching other lands.
Though unclear about the situation, Lin Chen temporarily assumed it to be an island within the swamp and proceeded to fly toward it.
Upon entering this colossal island, Lin Chen headed directly toward the center, witnessing along the way many martial artists fiercely fighting over opportunities. Lin Chen was unfazed, as he had little interest in those Treasures. As long as others did not provoke him, Lin Chen chose not to seek trouble.
Lin Chen realized that this island might have been unvisited before, as it contained numerous Treasures, elixirs, a variety of Herbal Materials, and Technique Scrolls.
Hence, it wasn't surprising that people were fighting for it all around.
Heading toward the center of the island, Lin Chen came across some alluring magic treasures and joined the scramble with other martial artists. Naturally, Lin Chen emerged victorious, reaping a significant amount.
Advancing further, Lin Chen acquired numerous Treasures and gathered many materials for establishing formations.
Collecting at this pace, Lin Chen, as he progressed toward the island's center, amassed more and more materials, estimating that in another ten days to half a month, he could gather all the materials needed to establish the formations.
In these few days, Lin Chen also obtained many magic treasures, including a Seventh-Rank Lower Grade Defensive Magic Robe, though he wasn't interested, as he possessed the Fiery Fire Profound Armor.
Additionally, Lin Chen acquired a Seventh-Rank Lower Grade Treasured Sword, but he didn't take it out for use, as he couldn't refine it to unleash its full power. Taking it out would only invite envy from others.
Regarding the other Treasures obtained, some were weapons Lin Chen wasn't skilled in, like Giant Hammers, Long Spears, Feather Fans, and such.
Though not immediately useful, Lin Chen didn't hold back during the contention, knowing that they could be sold for a significant profit once out of Tianliu Continent.
On the seventh day, Lin Chen arrived at the base of an incredibly tall mountain.
This mountain, observed through the Abyssal Eye, wasn't the highest on the island, but upon nearing, Lin Chen looked up to find it towering and exuding a strong sense of oppression. Without a doubt, there must be powerful Treasures on the mountain.
Lin Chen continued on, and from ten thousand miles away from the mountain, he already felt the oppressive force falling on him, making even flying difficult.
