Can this level be something a Little Hedgehog has obsessed over for so long? To Tang Rao, it's just an empty cave, what's so curious about it?

"Fly lower, see clearly what's inside, don't miss a single corner. If Little Hedgehog says there's something, then there must be!"

The result was already clear, there was nothing, absolutely nothing, but he still trusted Little Hedgehog's words. All these years, whenever it said there's something, there was never a mistake. It was worthy of trust, so he just had to trouble Little Fire Ginseng again, let it look around thoroughly one more time. Even the most careful can make mistakes, what if this time it was wrong?

Tang Rao's words were orders, whatever he said had to be executed by Little Fire Ginseng.

After Little Hedgehog circled around the mountain several times, the disappointment on Tang Rao's face was unmistakably genuine.

"I've flown around many times, still didn't see any treasure you mentioned. Why don't you come in and take a look yourself?"

Little Fire Ginseng also wanted to see the things Tang Rao talked about; unfortunately, there was simply nothing, and it couldn't figure out any reason for it.

"Ah, forget it, I'll go in myself!"

Unable to rely on Little Fire Ginseng, after seeing inside didn't have lava or any dangerous things, Tang Rao decided to go in himself and find out what's unique about this location.

"Wait outside, I'll go in to check; there seems to be something strange inside this mountain."

Tang Rao wasn't worried about Shu Yi overthinking—without knowing what lay inside, he couldn't promise Shu Yi there was guaranteed safety, nor assure him he could take Shu Yi inside. Not letting Shu Yi follow wasn't about Tang Rao wanting to keep the treasure to himself, it was simply to protect Shu Yi's personal safety.

"Go on, be careful yourself."

Shu Yi didn't ask Tang Rao how he would enter. Having seen so many impossibilities with Tang Rao, one more wouldn't make any difference.

"I will."

After saying this, Tang Rao gripped the Divine Stone, silently reciting Little Fire Ginseng's location in his heart, closed his eyes and then opened them. By then, he had disappeared from his original spot, flying shoulder to shoulder in the air with Little Fire Ginseng.

"I'm inside too?"

Coming to a place completely unfamiliar to him, Tang Rao felt a bit of nervousness.

He tilted his head, glancing all around. The surroundings were exactly as Little Fire Ginseng had communicated, with no discrepancy whatsoever.

"The treasure you want isn't here. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to search yourself, but there's nothing much I'll be able to do."

Little Fire Ginseng didn't believe it had failed to find any treasures here, yet Tang Rao might just manage to uncover something.

"You can't find it proves you're stupid. The fact that you can't find it doesn't mean I can't. Watch me, I'll use the truth to slap you in the face."

Tang Rao bravely declared.

As he said this, his heart was full of uncertainty. Believing too much in Little Hedgehog, what if there really is nothing there, what then would he do?

"This way please, just make sure to look carefully."

Little Fire Ginseng, like Tang Rao, had the utmost confidence in its own judgment; it didn't believe the places it had searched so thoroughly would have such strange occurrences.

The mountain was deep. Using his Divine Sense, Tang Rao covered the entire mountain, visualizing all the empty areas through it. Yet, after scanning using his Divine Sense, he saw what Little Fire Ginseng saw—the emptiness, and nothing but the sound of flowing water.

"Impossible, how can there be nothing at all? This little thing can't be telling me the water itself is the treasure, right?"

Ignoring whatever Little Hedgehog was busy with, Tang Rao grabbed it out directly. After all the effort of coming in, not even a speck was visible, this loss was too much, he had to pull the culprit out for an explanation.

"You told me there's treasure within the mountain. Now, open your eyes wide, where's the stuff, where is it?"

Tang Rao was a bit emotional, Little Hedgehog was nearly scared to death the moment it opened its eyes.

Squeak-squeak!

Judging from Little Hedgehog's squeals like a pig being slaughtered, its emotions were even more intense than Tang Rao's.

"Tang Rao, are you trying to murder me? It's so high, I'm going to die!"

Little Hedgehog was born with a fear of heights, which Tang Rao was aware of. Yet here, in a fit of emotion, he forgot about everything and sent its fears soaring into the sky.

"Oh, right, I forgot you were afraid of heights."

Tang Rao placed Little Hedgehog back into his portable palace, intending to have a good conversation with it.

"Where's the treasure, where are all the things?"

No beating around the bush, his words carried a hint of blame.

"Things? Haven't you seen the treasure already, then why're you asking me?"

Little Hedgehog felt Tang Rao was being unreasonable; everything was right in front of him, was he not just looking for trouble?

"Where's the stuff? Damn it, if I could see it, I wouldn't be looking for you."

Tang Rao cussed, considering his own safety, Little Hedgehog chose not to tease him any longer and straightforwardly revealed the truth.

"This water and the things beneath it, along with the air you're breathing, all are treasures. Haven't you noticed?"

Water, things under water, and the air?

How could these qualify as treasures?

Water and air were everywhere, Tang Rao hadn't seen people treating water or air as treasures.

"I know what you're thinking, but this water isn't ordinary. Aren't you refining Elixir Pills? With this water, you won't need Hundred Elixir Fruit, and can directly refine eight-grade Elixir Pills. Also, the stones beneath the water, see? These are Purple Crystal Mother Stones. If placed in your Little World, besides the Purple Crystal produced by Purple Crystal Beast, these Mother Stones will take root and grow. And the air, haven't you realized since entering here, your whole body has changed significantly? Haven't you felt any physical change at all?"

Speaking of which, Tang Rao's senses were sharper than anyone, yet coming here seemed to render them useless.

Little Hedgehog's words pierced him deeply.

The things he looked down on, the things he failed to notice as strange, turned out to be treasures?

These things couldn't be taken away lightly like ancestral treasures into a Space Ring—there's too much water, unforeseen amounts of Purple Crystal Mother Stones, and Tang Rao couldn't carry the air. Wasn't this challenging him?

"Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn't have felt it, but now that you did, I feel the meridians in my body thickening, causing pain all over."

This sensation only occurred when he was close to a breakthrough.

No, this sensation?

The feeling of an impending breakthrough grew more intense—a breakthrough from the pinnacle of the mid-stage Deity Realm to the late-stage Deity Realm, which was a Great Realm. If he did this within the mountain and it caused large vibrations, Tang Rao really feared being buried alive inside the mountain.
