The second elder was speechless at this moment. He didn't expect that while the other party was stunned just now, his cultivation level had actually improved greatly.
A deep sense of jealousy welled up in my heart.
That’s right, it’s jealousy, a feeling I’ve never felt towards anyone before.
"Haha, okay, don't be jealous of me. Maybe you'll have some insights later!"
Ning Ping naturally noticed the jealousy on the other person's face and found it funny.
"Humph, do you think this realization is as easy as eating and drinking water? Really..."
The second elder said something in a mixture of anger and amusement, then simply ignored the other party to avoid feeling even more depressed.
In fact, Ning Ping now has a deeper understanding of the laws of space and is more sensitive to the fluctuations of space.
However, if you want to truly transform it into your own understanding, it will not happen overnight, and it still takes a certain amount of time to settle.
But even so, it was of great benefit to deal with the current danger, and it even saved both of their lives later.
Now, as long as they get within a few feet of the space crack, Ning Ping can discover it in advance. In this way, the two of them can move forward much faster.
The two had been wandering in these canyon cracks for several days.
It can be said that deep in this area, the terrifying space cracks are everywhere.
This day finally saw a discovery.
"Hey, the space in here seems to be unusually stable!" Ning Ping's spiritual sense finally made a discovery when he was circling around a stone mountain.
At the beginning, the two of them would occasionally use earth escape techniques to explore deep inside the stone mountain, but they often returned empty-handed.
It was discovered that some places had either been reached by others first, or the boundary stones had not yet been condensed inside.
Over time, Ning Ping also developed some feelings about this, so when he passed by here, he felt a clear difference.
"Let's go in and take a look!" The second elder now believed Ning Ping's words without a doubt.
Then, the two of them used earth escape together and drilled into the stone mountain.
The deeper you go into the rocky mountains, the more stable the space feels, but you also feel a sense of loss of direction.
"Do you sense a heavy breath?" Ning Ping suddenly had an idea and sensed a strange breath.
"A heavy breath?" Upon hearing this, the second elder stopped and sensed it carefully.
But then, he shook his head.
“It doesn’t seem to make any difference!”
"Look further ahead!"
Ning Ping felt that this was probably the difference in the understanding of the laws of space.
After a while, the two came to the center of the stone mountain. There was a cavity here with a core-like existence in the center.
"Stone Heart! There might really be a boundary stone here!" Upon seeing this core, the second elder exclaimed in surprise.
"Heart of stone..."
Looking around this strange cavity, it seems as if it was specially designed to give birth to the stone heart in the center.
Ning Ping stretched out his palm and pressed it, and a chill instantly passed into his palm.
A strange and peaceful feeling spread into my body, and my eyes lit up slightly.
The stone core is about several dozen feet in diameter, giving people a feeling of being extremely hard, completely different from the rock surrounding it.
"That's right, we call this the Stone Heart. Only with the Stone Heart can the Boundary Stone be born. Come, let's split it open and see!"
As he spoke, the second elder flipped his hand and grabbed a long sword.
When the two of them were close, Ning Ping also took a serious look at the other party's magic weapon for the first time.
The material of the magic weapon doesn't seem to be very special, but it gives people an extremely sharp feeling, just like the second elder at this moment.
The Second Elder at this moment was just like the sword in his hand. At first glance, he looked more like a sword cultivator than himself, the Elder of Yinjian Peak from the Xuanyue Sword Sect.
"This sword is the magic weapon I have been using since I entered the world of cultivation!"
The second elder also noticed Ning Ping's curious gaze, said something briefly, and slashed down with the sword in his hand.
"when……"
There was a crisp sound, and only a foot-deep mark was left on the stone core.
"Hey! It's so sturdy, I'm afraid there's something inside!"
Seeing this, the second elder became even happier.
Then the second elder's Yuanli surged again, and this time it was obviously much more powerful than the previous attack.
"when……"
After a melodious sword sound, a neat sword mark appeared on the stone heart.
Then, he put away the magic weapon, stretched out his hands and pulled to both sides through the air, and the solid stone heart instantly split into two halves.
A fist-sized dark sphere suddenly appeared in the center of the stone heart.
The second elder's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the ball through the air. The ball flew back and was caught in his hand.
"Yes, it is the boundary stone!"
After taking a closer look, a look of joy appeared on his face, and then he handed the boundary stone in his hand to Ning Ping.
As soon as the boundary stone was in hand, a round and natural feeling was transmitted into the palm.
And it exudes a strong aura of the laws of earth and space.
Although this one is a bit bigger than the ones I got before, it is still far from what I need to build a large formation.
"How about this, is it enough?"
“There’s still some more to go!”
"This is really difficult! This boundary stone is the largest I've ever seen. How big does it need to be?"
The second elder frowned slightly when he heard this and asked.
"It needs to be at least twice as big as this one!"
Ning Ping flipped his hand and directly put the boundary stone into the space.
"That might be a little difficult, let's try looking for it again!"
The second elder nodded solemnly.
The two of them then retreated and continued searching everywhere.
Under Ning Ping's special guidance, the direction of progress was explored all the way in the direction indicated by the jade slip.
After bypassing one huge rocky mountain after another, the two men made some gains over the next month.
Unfortunately, two more boundary stones were obtained later, both of which were much smaller than the first one.
There may even be one that is still condensing, only slightly larger than a grain of sand.
Looking at the huge stone mountain, the two of them felt very unhappy.
Of course, Ning Ping’s ability to discover the existence of boundary stones one after another was also due to his sensitive spiritual sense.
Fortunately, gaining something is a good thing, and the two of them enjoy it.
What made Ning Ping even more excited was that the place indicated by the jade slip was getting closer and closer.
Although the space cracks appeared more and more frequently along the way, it was not too dangerous for him at the moment.
This made Ning Ping more determined to go and find out what was going on.
One day when the two were heading towards their destination, Ning Ping suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? Did you find another boundary stone?"
Every time Ning Ping stopped, the Second Elder knew that he must have discovered something, but this time it was different.
"No, there seems to be a fight over there!"
Ning Ping stared in one direction with burning eyes.
At this moment, a faint breath of energy mixed with magic power was faintly coming from that side.
