"....Xiaopan, do you think this space is naturally formed, or was it carved out by human hands?"

Upon hearing Li Bai'an's question.

Academician Pan Jianwei was taken aback at first, but then a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Actually, not only Li Bai'an, but Academician Pan had also carefully considered this question himself.

He pondered for a while, then said:

"Elder Li, personally, I don't think this Celestial Palace—along with the entire space—was entirely carved out by human hands.

I tend to believe this space was originally a natural region. Of course, at the outset, the space might have been in a very chaotic initial state, without matter, just boundaries.

Later on, it was transformed by ancient cultivators or Zhang Daoling, finally becoming the Celestial Palace.

Because the concept of spatial bonding energy is actually similar in nature to teleportation arrays.

Having one means the ability to create two, two creates three, and eventually, everything is created.

A civilization capable of creating this space out of nothing is clearly on the threshold between 'three' and 'all things'.

Theoretically, as long as there is enough energy, building a space is hardly different from copy-pasting.

But based on the information we've gathered over this period of time.....

Locally, aside from Qingcheng Mountain, there seem to be no other entrances to different spaces found, not even spiritual energy or Y particles.

Bear in mind, even dinosaurs from millions of years ago have fossils."

Just as Academician Pan said.

Over the past few days, after confirming the existence of a Celestial Palace above Qingcheng Mountain.

The core team, while paying utmost attention to the possible 'explosion' of the Celestial Palace, also initiated a second round of nationwide sampling collection.

Compared to the first round which had a broad focus, this time the objectives were much more specific and detailed:

That is to say, the famous mountains and rivers across Huaxia!

Although Huaxia is vast, covering an area of over 9.6 million square kilometers.

But setting aside the many urban centers and the Two River Basin, there aren't that many famous mountains; compiling them isn't very difficult—at least not for the national power.

Moreover, since the imaging equipment has now clearly recorded information on Y particles, theoretically, even one Y particle can be detected.

Now it has been eight days since Lin Ziming and others arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, and more than half of the second round of famous mountain sampling has been completed.

However, whether it's the somewhat famous Mount Taimu in Min Province, Mount Qiyun in Gannan.

Or among the three mountains and five sacred mountains, Lushan, Huang Mountain.

Or the long-standing traditions of Wudang, Longhu, there have been no traces of spiritual energy or Y particles found.

Thus, the speculation of there being a large number of Celestial Palaces or Earth Palaces among the famous mountains can largely be ruled out.

As for the possibility abroad...

To be honest, it's not very high.

Because both the system of spiritual energy and the figure of Zhang Daoling belong to the most orthodox Huaxia cultural image.

Western sorcery, holy light and such aren't worth mentioning, and even the High Celestial Plain of neighboring Neon is markedly different from Huaxia's ancient cultivation narratives.

If "immortal" and "powerful cultivator" are just differing terms in the field of perception, then the deities and spirits of Neon are entirely different in style.

Furthermore.

In ancient times, Huaxia's ancestors had a sense of superiority stemming from heritage over foreign lands, leaving terms like 'barbarians' from beyond civilization.

In such a context.

If many relics are found within Huaxia, then it cannot be ruled out that there might indeed be a few mysterious places like 'Overseas Immortal Islands' abroad.

But for now, Huaxia's famous mountains have been scoured over half, yet only a Celestial Palace on Qingcheng Mountain has been found, so the likelihood of relics abroad is naturally low.

Just like if a person comes from a relatively affluent family, they might often help out a wandering impoverished person.

But if they can't even pay off their loans every month, do you expect them to buy a burger for a homeless person every day after work?

In real life, there may be such people, but it's not widely applicable.

Moreover, even if there really are Celestial Palaces abroad, the rabbits couldn't really go onto someone else's territory to collect them, could they?

Now, after covering half the region, only the Qinling, Kunlun, and Taihang mountain ranges are left unsearched.

It can be said like this.

The current Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Palace is the only exemplar in the hands of the rabbits!

Perhaps because he has opened up in discussion, Academician Pan uncharacteristically continued to say a few more words:

"Actually, the issues with the Celestial Palace aren't limited to the questions you've raised; they also encompass a large number of unknowns.

For instance, where do the microorganisms producing Y particles reside?

How did they come into being?

How did the Celestial Palace become fragmented?

These pieces of information are very important, but currently, we know nothing about them."

Seeing the flood of questions from Academician Pan, Li Bai'an sighed heavily with a serious expression.

To repeat a saying.

After being exposed to the cultivation concepts of the Damo Realm, the rabbits actually didn't have much resistance to discovering such cultivation relics locally.

After all, even if ancient cultivators once existed, they were merely powerful human individuals, not innate immortals or gods.

Under this premise.

No matter how powerful to crush mountains and rivers with a finger, it's achieved by gradually growing from a weak individual, not an innate hierarchy.

However, on the other hand.

The problems that the Celestial Palace radiates aren't just about a superhuman civilization once existing locally; more importantly, it's about what happened behind it.

Those collapsed ruins and broken walls are certainly not indicative of a well-maintained civilization—this is a judgment any layman can make.

Even if the space was merely later utilized by Zhang Daoling, he still shouldn't have left a pile of debris there, should he?

So whether it's due to certain reasons that only Qingcheng Mountain's Celestial Palace had an incident, or if something happened to the civilization it represents?

The former is straightforward to explain, but if it's the latter...

Then it becomes quite sinister to contemplate.

Of course.

The road must be walked one step at a time; currently, the rabbits have just entered the Celestial Palace.

At the very least, the basic information inside the Celestial Palace should be collected before moving on to the next step.

And during the conversation between the two, the detector just happened to arrive at the edge of the Celestial Palace.

This time, considering the potential complexities inside the Celestial Palace, the rabbits specially prepared thermal sensors.

These are a kind of cutting-edge aviation technological reserve, somewhat similar to the Zhurong Vehicle.

The average temperature on Mars is about 218K, which is around -55°C.

The lowest winter can reach -133°C, and the hottest summer daytime almost 27°C.

The temperature inside the Celestial Palace is just over seventy degrees below zero, barely a drizzle compared to Martian conditions.

Thus, this thermal sensor operates not only smoothly inside the Celestial Palace but also with very high sampling accuracy.

At this moment.

The detector has reached the boundary of the left area of the Celestial Palace.

On the ground of this boundary also lie quite a few collapsed ruins, but compared to the main hall of the Celestial Palace, the buildings here are noticeably lower.

For example, in the left front of the detector's current position, you can see a pond that has long since dried up, filled with dust.

Don't underestimate this dust.

By understanding the material changes within the Celestial Palace, through technical means, it's not impossible to determine the era of the sub-layer deposits.

Subsequently, Academician Pan Jianwei personally took charge, maneuvering the detector to the edge of the pond.

Looking at the gray boundary in the video, Academician Pan glanced at several buttons on the main control panel.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then pressed a purple button.

A moment later.

The detector made a clanking sound, and a gun-like thing protruded from its top.

Then.....

Zi——

It sprayed water.
