The Clumsy Peak trio had suddenly dispersed, leaving only Fang Bie behind.
After a brief period of confusion, he finally decided on his objective.
The biggest difference between the world of *Covering Heaven* and *Battle Through the Heavens* is, of course, the dense web of masterminds and various treasures in this world.
Ye Fan's growth history is practically a treasure-hunting saga. He was able to stand out from countless geniuses not only because he had a true Buddha backing him but also because he had dug enough graves.
From the start, he dug up the tomb of the Green Emperor, then the second incarnation of the Ruthless Great Emperor, followed by the Purple Mountain of the No Beginning Great Emperor, and the Inheritance of the Source Heavenly Master...
In the late stage, he went even further, paving roads through mountains and building bridges over rivers.
He dug every tomb he saw and entered every treasure trove he encountered. Basically, all the good stuff came from graves.
Fang Bie certainly couldn't be content to lag behind others. Although there were no tombs to dig or graves to rob here, this mountain held the Inheritance of one of the Nine Secrets. He decided to start here.
Thinking of it, he did it. Fang Bie was never one to procrastinate. He first ran to seek Li Ruoyu's opinion.
"Old Li, I want to dig down from the mountain to search for the Inheritance of Clumsy Peak. I wonder if that's feasible?" Fang Bie asked. Having stayed in this world for a long time, he felt that his speech had also acquired a somewhat refined, scholarly tone.
"Hmm?" Li Ruoyu was taken aback, thinking, 'Is this strange kid going to cause trouble again?' "Digging the mountain? How do you plan to dig?"
"Just digging down from the Mountain Top. I won't damage anything else on the mountain," Fang Bie quickly explained. He was afraid that his previous actions had frightened the Old Man. If he wasn't allowed to dig, wouldn't that be very awkward?
"Digging the mountain?" Li Ruoyu pondered for a moment and finally nodded. "Clumsy Peak doesn't have any secrets. If you want to dig, then go ahead. As long as you don't dismantle the entire mountain, this old one won't stop you."
His thought was that Clumsy Peak essentially held no secrets. The only Inheritance came from the Mountain and River Power, not the mountain itself. Unless Fang Bie dug out the entire mountain, there wouldn't be any impact.
He watched Fang Bie's retreating figure, gradually closed his eyes, and fell back into cultivation. A misty aura manifested around his surroundings.
…
Fang Bie pondered for a moment and decided to start digging from an inconspicuous place. Having just arrived in this world, if he accidentally caused some matter, it would be difficult to deal with.
'What, you're asking why he didn't dig later? Isn't that obvious? As Steve, if you don't go to the mine, how can you face yourself?'
Regardless of what world or what location, Fang Bie had come to realize a truth: as a Minecraft Big Shot, it was his inherent duty to dig!
He took out his Stone Pickaxe. The last pickaxe, of course, had to play its role. He started digging on the spot!
The place he chose belonged to an area that even within Clumsy Peak seemed desolate. A large amount of weeds completely concealed the ruins here.
Not only that, Fang Bie could also see a lot of sundries piled up here, forming a small hill that was still submerged in a sea of weeds.
A large, square Hole Entrance had already been opened up by him. This mountain was very large, even exceeding his maximum movement distance in the Minecraft World.
Therefore, Fang Bie also unceremoniously opened up a large 3x3 Mine Pit, extending it diagonally downwards.
He was self-aware enough not to keep digging straight down. After digging to a certain range, he decisively chose the most labor-saving method, which was to open up a small Cave, two meters high and one meter wide, just enough for him to pass through alone.
This mountain was very large.
The fact that it took Fang Bie a whole day to walk down the mountain was proof of this.
If it weren't for his abnormal physique, an Ordinary Person coming here might starve to death before successfully getting down the mountain.
Therefore, he proceeded with horizontal digging with great ease.
"Soil, soil, stone…" Fang Bie listed these useless materials. Like most mountains, Clumsy Peak was still composed of these basic substances.
He wasn't discouraged either.
After experiencing three days of not finding diamonds, few matters could make Fang Bie feel frustrated.
He continued to mechanically swing his pickaxe. A large amount of stone was mined out by him and entered his backpack.
"Clang!" The sound of metal striking metal echoed in the empty Cave, and also caused the already low durability of the Stone Pickaxe in Fang Bie's hand to completely deplete, turning into fragments on the ground.
However, Fang Bie's attention had already been drawn to the object in front of him.
Where could he spare any thought for the broken tool?
An Iron Pickaxe immediately reappeared in his hand.
He couldn't help but lean forward, wanting to see clearly what this object was in the dim conditions.
However, the space here was simply too dark. Fang Bie stared for a long time but still couldn't make it out.
"Whoosh!" A Flame ignited in the dark Cave, emitting flickering radiance. Fang Bie took this opportunity to clearly see the metal block in front of him.
"What a huge piece of gold!" Fang Bie couldn't help but exclaim at this moment. A huge, gold-like object appeared in front of him.
Fang Bie, taking advantage of the torch's radiance, cleared away all the stones in the surroundings, completely revealing this huge metal block.
It was at this moment that he realized something was wrong.
This metal was too big, several times taller than him, about three stories high.
He had dug out hundreds of stones just to truly clear away the things around this metal block.
The flame emitted by the torch couldn't even illuminate one side of this huge metal block. Fang Bie could only barely see the faint yellow radiance emitted by this huge metal block through the weak light.
He had initially thought this was gold, but gold would never emit radiance of this color. Moreover, gold shouldn't be this big either.
He raised his pickaxe again, but this metal was not knocked off as he had imagined. Instead, it still stood firmly there. The pickaxe, when struck against it, couldn't even leave a trace.
"Is the mining level not high enough?" Fang Bie was a bit troubled.
Unlike ordinary stones, MC metals all required a mining level. Some special minerals and stones even needed higher-level pickaxes to be mined.
Feeling the familiar sense of loss and powerlessness, Fang Bie knew that the Iron Pickaxe could not mine this object.
He had no choice but to regretfully bypass it and continue downwards.
What he didn't see was that within this faint yellow radiance, a purple gaze followed him like a shadow until his figure disappeared into the darkness not far away.
Fang Bie gave up on this place and changed direction to continue digging.
This time, his luck was not bad.
He dug up several strange blocks, some white and some purple.
Even he could feel special Energy Fluctuations from them.
"Could this be the Source from the Original Story?" Fang Bie pondered.
He wasn't in a hurry to verify and continued to walk towards the Distant Place.
Clumsy Peak was incredibly vast. How far had he even dug?
