"It's a pity that even the largest diamonds are of no use on the Star War Battlefield."

Wang Zhan shook his head, his gaze falling once more on the rock in front of him. The rock before him had a texture similar to diamond and shone brilliantly under the sunlight. However, it was much taller than he was. Even if several grown men stretched out their arms, they couldn't surround this enormous rock.

After circling the rock for a while, Wang Zhan pulled out the Deep Fire Blade and violently chopped down on it. With a single strike, the rock instantly shattered into numerous spots of light that scattered across the ground.

Wang Zhan hastily drew closer. After glancing at the base, his expression immediately changed. He stared at the marvelous runes on it and slowly said, "Unexpectedly, there are some curious things here. But what are these bizarre runes?"

Although Wang Zhan was proficient in combat skills, he hadn't researched these runes. If not for meeting Hu Xianfeng, he wouldn't even know how to refine elixirs.

After staring at the runes for a long time, Wang Zhan lifted the Deep Fire Blade. He waved it fiercely into the air, and a Fire Dragon soared towards the sky, igniting bursts of Fire Light.

Upon seeing this signal, everyone gathered in Wang Zhan's direction. Naturally, the first to arrive was Han Junxiong. Seeing Wang Zhan standing not far away, he quickly moved to his side, hurriedly asking, "We found only demon cores from demonic beasts over there. I'm surprised you also found so many diamonds here, Brother Wang! Unfortunately, this is the Star War Battlefield, and those women aren't interested in these diamonds. After all, just managing to survive here is enough for everyone."

Wang Zhan shot him a look and said irritably, "I really don't know what goes on in that head of yours. Come over and look at this."

Han Junxiong hurriedly moved to Wang Zhan's side. He glanced at the mysterious runes before him and was momentarily stunned. "What is this?"

"If I knew, would I have called you all over?" Wang Zhan glanced at the people who had arrived one after another behind him and said, "Everyone, come take a look. See if anyone recognizes what these runes represent. After all, this forest exudes a profound strangeness. These runes are surely not simple."

Everyone walked over and began to examine the runes. However, after staring at them for a long time, they all shook their heads, apparently unclear about the origin of these runes.

Wang Zhan squinted and carefully examined the surroundings. Then he shook his head and said, "It seems there's nothing else around here. In that case, everyone search carefully for similar large diamond chunks. Alert me immediately if you find any."

After everyone agreed, they began searching swiftly. Han Junxiong, who was nearby, walked over to Wang Zhan and asked, "Brother Wang, if we search for this, won't that mean we don't have time to hunt for demon cores from those demonic beasts?"

Wang Zhan nodded lightly, standing with his hands behind his back. He glanced sideways at the runes and said, "I have a feeling that there are some good things around here that we just haven't discovered yet.

"Follow my instructions for now. Don't miss out on better things for the sake of some demon cores."

Han Junxiong hurriedly nodded and also began to get busy.

Time passed. Soon, Wang Zhan received news that there were six other places in the forest similar to the one before him. Wang Zhan inspected each of the huge diamond chunks one by one, but he still couldn't reach any conclusions.

Before he knew it, Wang Zhan had reached the top of the mountain. He looked down over the entire forest. Previously, he had ordered his men to level all areas containing these diamond chunks. Now, standing at this high vantage point, unobstructed by the forest, he could clearly see their arrangement.

Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes, took a look at these seven diamond chunks, then a faint smile touched his lips. "These things appear to be arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper.

"But even if we know their arrangement, what secrets could be hidden within?"

Wang Zhan stroked his chin, squinting at the diamond deposits before him, but he still couldn't draw any conclusions.

Han Junxiong had walked over from behind him without Wang Zhan noticing. He stood next to Wang Zhan, also glanced towards the forest, and then shook his head. "It seems even you don't know what these things represent.

"In that case, there's no need to waste any more time on them. Besides, as you said, this place is strange all over. It would be better to take everything we can and leave quickly."

Wang Zhan remained silent, his gaze still immersed in the fascinating scene before him. As the sun gradually rose, the diamond blocks became increasingly dazzling. On closer inspection, one could even see strange rays of light constantly radiating from them.

Wang Zhan pushed Han Junxiong aside and walked to his right. He stared at the incredible light before him, his gaze then fixing on a particular direction.

It turned out that as the sunlight struck the diamond blocks, their reflected light gradually converged, pointing in a specific direction. This meant that if they could find the focal point of the light emitted by these diamonds, they could understand what it all signified.

With that thought, Wang Zhan hurriedly quickened his pace and swooped into the distance. Han Junxiong, standing nearby, simply couldn't keep up with Wang Zhan's pace, so he eventually returned to the forest to continue hunting for demon cores from those demonic beasts.

Due to Wang Zhan's swift pace, he arrived at the convergence of the light in the blink of an eye. Wang Zhan squinted at a giant stone stele in front of him, his gaze then fixing on the strange runes atop it. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He hadn't noticed this stele before, and the surrounding trees also seemed somewhat peculiar. On closer inspection, the trees even seemed to move.

Could it be...

Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes, instantly understanding the cause of this mysterious phenomenon. "It seems like someone deliberately set up formation techniques here to prevent outsiders from entering."

After muttering to himself, Wang Zhan approached the stele. As he reached out to touch its inscriptions, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth from it. Before Wang Zhan could react, a powerful suction pulled him into an entirely different space.

To Wang Zhan's surprise, he found himself completely separated from the forest. He was now surrounded by towering stone walls. If not for the fluorescent stones illuminating the path on either side, he would have been unable to discern any direction at all.

Wang Zhan glanced at the dark, seemingly endless path ahead, then at the massive stone wall behind him. He chuckled. "So this is forcing me to keep moving forward.

"Well, in that case, I might as well go in and see what this place is all about."

Wang Zhan had a feeling that by continuing further, he might uncover the secrets of the Summit of Thousand Peaks. With this thought, Wang Zhan didn't hesitate. He quickened his pace, heading deeper towards the Summit of Thousand Peaks.

Although the path seemed long, Wang Zhan moved swiftly and reached its depths in just half an hour. Wang Zhan stared at a massive statue before him for a long while before chuckling, "So there's a Divine Dragon Statue here. But what's so peculiar about it?"

For a moment, Wang Zhan couldn't comprehend what this statue signified. He had seen many stone statues and entered numerous barriers before, but never one as lifelike as this Divine Dragon Statue. Upon closer inspection, even the finely crafted scales on the Divine Dragon Statue were clearly discernible.

"To think such skilled craftsmanship exists on the Star War Battlefield! Truly astonishing."

Before he could finish his sentence, the Divine Dragon Statue in front of him moved slightly. Wang Zhan felt the ground beneath him tremble. He quickly drew his Deep Fire Blade, his gaze fixed intently on the Divine Dragon Statue. "What are you?" he demanded warily. "Show yourself!"

Suddenly, a huge roar echoed in his mind. Wang Zhan instinctively retreated a few steps as a deafening sound assaulted his ears.

"Lowly human, you dare to enter the dragon's roost!"

"Get out immediately if you value your life!"

"Otherwise, I will dispose of you just as I did those demonic beasts!"

Wang Zhan was stunned. "You mean all the demonic beasts on the Summit of Thousand Peaks were dealt with by you?"

The Divine Dragon Statue before him suddenly radiated a dazzling light. Wang Zhan instinctively shielded his eyes. When he looked again, he saw an Azure Dragon gradually coalesce into the form of an elderly, white-haired man standing before him.
