The fourth-rank peak martial artists present, upon hearing Xu Heng's words, did not retort but instead followed his instructions immediately.

Next, it was time to enter the ancient ruins.

When he approached the outskirts of the ancient ruins, Wang Ye felt that they were no different from the fake ancient ruins he had constructed.

However, after circling the outskirts and stepping into the interior of the ancient ruins, Wang Ye's face showed a sense of profound shock.

It was as if he had stumbled upon an unexpected idyllic village amidst dark woods and blooming flowers.

The disparity... was too great!

The exterior of the relic had a somewhat petty air, but upon reaching the interior, or rather, after entering the real ancient relic, Wang Ye understood what was meant by grandeur and majesty.

In front of them lay a vast plaza.

Wang Ye observed the ground of the plaza and couldn't help but reflect inwardly.

Being well-studied in jade and gemstones, Wang Ye could tell in an instant what the stones paving the plaza were made of.

True Stones!

They were paved with individual slabs of True Stone!

However, these were True Stones that had already had their True Qi absorbed, leaving behind only empty husks, yet just this fact alone was already impressive.

The people of that era... were so wealthy!

Wang Ye couldn't help but express his amazement aloud.

The others, hearing Wang Ye's sigh, looked towards him with curiosity, not understanding why he would make such a comment.

Seeing this, Wang Ye said to them, "You might not have noticed, but the material used to pave the ground is made of True Stones that have already had their energy absorbed."

Before Wang Ye spoke, the people hadn't noticed anything.

But once Wang Ye said this,

Everyone present was struck with awe.

Paved with True Stones from which all energy had been absorbed!

Such a large plaza indicated that, in years past, there must have been many True Stones!

Because it surely wasn't just one city, but many cities that had this, considering this city had done so, it meant that other cities most likely did the same.

Just how wealthy were the people of that era?

And now, Wang Ye began to wonder, if the people of that era were so wealthy, were the True Stone Veins he had obtained really True Stone Veins?

Wang Ye started to doubt.

He felt that what he had obtained might not be True Stone Veins at all, but merely sources for martial warriors to replenish their energy during missions.

The more Wang Ye thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

After all, what were his "True Stone Veins" compared to the True Stones laid out in this vast plaza?

Nothing at all!

Suddenly, Wang Ye felt a pang of sadness; what he had considered treasures, what he had believed to be True Stone Veins, were in fact not veins at all, but merely supplies for others to use for recharging during missions.

And Liu Na, glancing unintentionally in Wang Ye's direction, was startled upon seeing the expression on his face.

What's going on?

Why does Wang Ye's expression look so awful?

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Na asked with some concern.

Thinking of Wang Ye's previous comment outside about being able to sense some of the emotions here, could it be that he was influenced by these emotions, and that's what caused a problem with Wang Ye's mood so suddenly?

"It's nothing."

Sensing Liu Na's worried voice beside him, Wang Ye spoke: "It's just, after seeing this place, I felt a bit sentimental, I'm too poor."

Liu Na: "???"

You're poor?

Is this something people say?

Thinking back to the fake ancient ruins, where nearly everything that made everyone's heart race was Wang Ye's.

Even Liu Na had felt the urge to rob Wang Ye just a moment ago.

And there was Wang Ye, who owned so many wonderful things, now saying he felt bad because he thought he was too poor.

Worse yet, the expression on Wang Ye's face was truly one of anguish, which had made Liu Na believe at first glance that something had happened to Wang Ye.

This...wasn't this just too damn Versailles?

While Wang Ye and Liu Na were chatting, several Martial Warriors attempted to step onto the plaza but felt a great pressure grab their feet as soon as they took a step forward.

It kept their feet from touching the ground of the plaza no matter what.

Xu Heng glanced at the Martial Warriors and said with deep meaning:

"Don't step onto the plaza yet."

"Last time we explored this place, many people vanished without a trace as soon as they stepped onto the plaza, immediately taken by some invisible force."

"Only a few were unaffected, but even they don't understand why nothing happened to them. It might be because this plaza truly has the auspicious and inauspicious positions spoken of by the ancients."

Upon hearing this, the Martial Warriors hastily retracted the steps they had just taken, their faces a picture of relief.

Thankfully, they had been stopped in time by Xu Heng; otherwise, their fate might have been the same as the others', gone in an instant.

Xu Heng then turned his gaze to Wang Ye.

Looking at Wang Ye, there was hope in his eyes.

He had heard that this young man was very skilled in feng shui, and thus, it was best to leave professional matters to the professionals.

Letting Wang Ye try to see if he could solve this problem would be the right move.

"Let me take a look."

In the instant Xu Heng looked at him, Wang Ye immediately understood Xu Heng's intention.

Wang Ye took to the air, which was not actually flying, but rather dispersing his force among the droplets of water below, combining these droplets in a different way.

This allowed the droplets to support the weight of his body, which made it possible for Wang Ye to rise into the air in a short time.

Those around who saw Wang Ye's maneuver looked at him with admiration.

Wang Ye... was truly capable!

The way he manipulated force was ostentatiously skillful.
