Stone.

Alex surveyed the broken room, which appeared to be in ruins, with nothing but rubble.

"Okay," Alex mumbled as he started sifting through the debris. He knew that time was of the essence, as he still needed to find Fengying. He was concerned about her well-being, as she was a formidable fighter, but in this forest filled with powerful monsters, even she could be at risk.

As he rummaged through the rubble, he grew increasingly frustrated. He couldn't find anything of interest, and it was beginning to seem like a waste of time.

"Am I wasting my time on this junk?" he grumbled. His search appeared fruitless until he noticed something peculiar. Amidst the rubble, a shard was glowing with a faint white light.

"Ah, what is this?" Alex jumped back slightly, his heart racing for a moment. He approached the shiny rock cautiously and examined it. The stone emitted a warm, lava-like heat that he could touch without injury.

"What is this?" Alex wondered as he tried to analyze it using his energy. However, his attempts to discern the stone's properties were thwarted.

BANG!

Suddenly, something tumbled down the stairs.

"YOU!!!" Lian Hua shouted as she confronted Alex.

Alex smiled and waved his hand "Hey kid, you okay there?" He didn't even pay any attention after that and continued to see through the Stone in his hands.

"HOW DARE YOU KNOCK ME OUT!!!" Lian Hua went for the punch with all of her power.

Alex opened his eyes wide and immediately appeared next to her.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Punched her side.

"What the hell are you doing, do you know if you unleashed that punch everything here would be destroyed?" Alex sighed and looked at Lian Hua.

He didn't expect her to wake up this soon, waking up this soon meant he underestimated her even more than he thought before.

"You---" Lian Hua said this before looking around to see the ruins of some sort. 

"What is this..." She stood up and asked the questions, it had been a long time before they discovered the shack but they had never managed to see through his place that was just below the shack.

"You tell me... i just came down here." Alex pocketed the crystal and asked her.

"I Don't know... I have never heard anything like this existed below the shack." She took the rubble and looked at it, it was just a normal stone with nothing mixed in it.

"Well, get to work here." Alex looked at her.

"What?" Lian Hua asked.

"What? This is your place, i am not going to search the things for you." Alex said this regretting not knocking her out even harder, he didn't want anyone to search this place.

But he didn't all-out battle against the association it would be a stupid move.

But if they discovered something worth his fight he would immediately go against them even if they didn't accept his offer of taking it off their hands peacefully.

"You--- alright." Lian Hua sighed and continued to dig the stones.

While this was happening Alex was looking through the room to discover a few things like the crystal, he needed extensive research about 12 Supreme Cores if he wanted to find out about the crystal, he thought the little crystal was the 12 Supreme Cores that was used in the past as some kind of computer.

"Hm?" He looked at the place where he found the crystal.

"Hm??? He got confused as he couldn't pick the stone up." 

"Hm?????" Alex was so weak he could not pick a normal stone.

He punched the rock but it didn't even crack a little, it was just too strong.

"Damn..." Alex was about to curse but then something happened.

--

[Supreme Treasure Has Been Detected]

--

Alex opened his eyes wide, This had never happened before, even the Heaven Pillar didn't get detected by the System but this thing did. Alex was shocked, Alex was shocked enough to let out a laugh.

"What?" Lain Hua annoyingly asked.

"Nothing, continue if you want... you can also leave the digging to me..." Alex said with a smile.

Lian Hua wasn't stupid and said "No thanks, before i dig everything here i will call my girls..." She smiled menacingly.

Alex spit ground.

"So... This is interesting." Alex entangled his hands and thought about what this thing here was.

Alex didn't want this girl to find out about this he would get more things here before all the People were called here to mine the entire cave Alex used Space Shatter Fist on this thing rubble. Moved around and finally, he managed to put his hand on the heaviest and probably most important one.

He used the vibration aspect of this Technique, he sent the Vibrations into the rubble to disrupt its atomic structure and destroy it from the inside, it was a technique that not many could use in this world as not many could actually know about atomic structure, maybe extremely powerful cultivator could look very far away inside of the atomic structure but Alex didn't think that.

CRACK!!!

BANG!!!

BANG!!!

The rubble broke.

And Alex immediately covered it with his Technique.

He didn't know what it was but he didn't want want anyone to see it.

"What the fuck?" Alex looked at the bigger piece of the Crystal he found before.

But there was not anything else.

"How the fuck did it this thing pulled the rubble so hard i bearly lift it." Alex thought about this and took the crystal, but he didn't cover it exactly at the same time.

"What is that?" Lian Hua asked.

"Hm, what?" With enormous speed Alex smiled put the Crystal in his pocket and changed it with rubble, He smiled and quickly took it as if nothing happened.

"Oh... Nothing else." Lian Hua said.

"Yeah, I guess." Alex smiled and wiped his imaginary sweat.

"But something is weird here." He said this and looked down.

"What the fuck?"
