If all the “Holy Grounds” of the Mountain People were related to the fragments of the Skyfall Spaceship…

“Then I absolutely must go,” Ian murmured to himself, holding the Book of Silver Radiance at the bottom of the lake.

“With the Silver Chip and the authority of the Book of Silver Radiance, I might obtain more secrets related to the aftermath of Heavenfall, as well as information concerning the secrets of the True Dragon!”

“To me, the Holy Grounds of the Mountain People are simply a treasure trove.”

Looking up from the bottom of the lake, he gazed in the direction of the Bison Mountain Range in the west, his eyes burning with anticipation: “Be it memories, secrets, or technology—all are the same.

As for the truth about the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, I’ve already learned a bit, but there is definitely more information out there!”

“I have to visit those Holy Grounds and ‘read’ once!”

“No matter which Holy Ground it is!”

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ian bent down and brushed aside the sand and dust at the lake’s bottom.

A pale blue Origin Quality surged around the young man, controlling the flow of water to form a vortex that gently lifted the ‘blue’ silver sand in the Foresight View, piling it up to one side.

Silver sand was a special material, its true name being ‘Dragon Crystal.’

Although this name initially startled Ian, after carefully reviewing the information fed back by the Silver Chip, he sighed in disappointment.

Essentially, Dragon Crystal was no different from the Source Quality Crystal that leaked from the Ether Crystal in Ian’s left hand; both were Self Source Essences mixed with a portion of biological parts to form a structure as solid as nails or teeth.

It was just that the Source Essence of the True Dragon was so immense that the crystals it could form were more complex and robust, to the extent that they could endure like ore for eons.

In fact, some True Dragons, like the King of the Mountain Ian had encountered, had their bodies’ Armored Clothing made from Dragon Crystal they condensed themselves, mixed with some high-strength alloys, its toughness comparable to the Highest Level Aether Armament.

This Dragon Crystal was naturally that of the Qing Steel Dragon, who had used this material to bury the remnants of the Sombre Crystal Engine at the bottom of the lake, concealing its aura and presence, and using it to connect with the Sombre Crystal Engine, steadily guiding its power throughout the entire Leyan Territory.

An enormous amount of Source Quality emanated from here, permeating the entire expanse of Leyan Territory.

“So it was the technique of the True Dragon that connected with the Sombre Crystal Engine.”

Upon realizing this, Ian had an epiphany: “No wonder the Book of Silver Radiance and the Silver Chip are needed to fully activate these ancient memories—the Silver Chip activates the Sombre Crystal Engine, while the Book of Silver Radiance links with the Dragon Crystal, translating the fragments of data from the spaceship into a comprehensible mode.”

At this realization, Ian had a suspicion in his heart.

That was, the Silver Chip, perhaps had a very good chance of being a key element from the Skyfall Spaceship.

Ian still remembered what Teacher Hiliad had said when handing over the Silver Chip to him.

“The key to opening the Eternal Labyrinth…”

Muttering softly, the young man closed his eyes: “So far, the labyrinths I’ve encountered are all special areas caused by the civilization of the previous epoch or various disasters.

And in this world, what labyrinth could be called ‘eternal,’ and what disaster could be greater than Heavenfall?”

The only ones are those labyrinths created by the Skyfall Spaceship…

Various thoughts flashed through his mind as the silver sand was slowly uncovered under Ian’s control.

Then, what was revealed was a gigantic metallic construction at the bottom layer of Leyan Lake.

A ‘black metal sphere’ with a precise radius of one hundred and twenty meters.

Pure black, absorbing all light, the massive metal sphere was buried under more than twenty meters of silver sand.

Ian had only uncovered the topmost layer, so he could only see a portion of the black metal sphere that was exposed to the outside world.

But both the Foresight View and the Silver Chip told him that this object was extraordinary.

The mist that seemed to radiate out from it was as splendid and captivating as the proud sun in the sky…

“Fifth Energy Level…golden light!”

Letting out a slow breath, Ian forced himself to calm down: “Indeed…it’s all related!

Even a damaged wreckage has golden feedback, so the intact one…”

Perhaps, it is rainbow-colored?!

Ian could not be certain of this; in fact, up to this point, he had also been uncertain about the relationship between the levels of Foresight View and Energy Levels.

But anything golden, whether it is a path of the Dao, a person, an Inheritance, or an item, definitely has the potential to change the whole world!

The metal sphere was damaged, with a massive crack in its outer shell from which Source Quality flowed unceasingly.

Gazing at the black metal sphere, Ian closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.

Then, he leaned forward, reached out, and touched it.

Then the young man felt a shiver from deep within his soul.

[Core component detected: Sombre Crystal Engine]

[Status: Severely damaged]

[Core Vacuum Zone has ruptured, Energy Supply System totally dysfunctional, Ether Void Maker unable to operate, Spacetime Compressor structure damaged…]

[This component is nearly beyond repair, immediate disposal recommended to avoid irreversible damage to the crashed planet/starfield/subspace]

[Detection of the damaged component has received proper handling, please continue to maintain]

“As expected.

The moment Ian touched the Sombre Crystal Engine, he fully understood—the Silver Chip indeed had a completely identical origin to it!

They both…came from the Skyfall Spaceship!

The Sombre Crystal Engine had suffered irrepairable damage, but still, it maintained a peculiar function—it could collect all sorts of radiation, geothermal energy, and even the energy formed by the flow of water, then convert them all into ‘Source Quality’…
