Summit Farmer-Chapter 2244 - 2242: The Mine Cave World

Peter Brown also didn’t expect the underground mining world to be so vast. After running for a day, he still hadn’t found anyone else here. However, it was clear that there were too many paths here, and even with Peter Brown’s strong Divine Sense, he didn’t dare to venture further inside.

It’s really a place that’s been excavated for billions of years!

Peter Brown couldn’t help but marvel at the strength of the Second Heaven. Even the power of a Family here is so strong, what about a sect?

Peter Brown really couldn’t imagine the power of a sect.

Just at this moment, Peter Brown easily heard voices and then saw several people coming from another forked path.

Three people emerged from another fork, two men and one woman, all appearing to be middle-aged and were chatting and laughing.

Seeing someone approaching, Peter Brown quickly stepped out.

It was quite apparent that the trio was very wary of Peter Brown’s sudden appearance, watching him with vigilance.

Seeing their expression, Peter Brown quickly clasped his fists in a salute, saying, "Greetings, fellow cultivators. I am Peter Brown and I have a question."

Despite Peter Brown’s polite demeanor, the three still looked around cautiously, with the leading middle-aged man asking in a deep voice, "What is it?"

"I am new here and do not understand the situation. Could you please explain it to me?"

"Newcomer?" The trio’s caution seemed to ease somewhat upon hearing that, though there was still some lingering wariness.

"Yes, I was captured and thrown in here with just a storage bag and a mining hoe. I’m a bit lost in this underground world now."

After another scrutinizing look from head to toe, the woman slightly nodded and said, "Since you’re new, naturally we can explain the situation here to you."

It was only then that Peter Brown realized that Mino and the others hadn’t detailed the specifics of the underground world to him.

"Shall we also take a rest?" The woman seemed to ask the two men.

"Alright, let’s take a rest; we’re almost there."

Listening to their conversation, Peter Brown felt even more puzzled, thinking they too didn’t know where they were going.

The trio sat opposite Peter Brown, nearly cornering him in the space.

With his cultivation recovered, and knowing that everyone’s cultivation is sealed here in the mine, Peter Brown was naturally not afraid and sat down as well.

Seeing Peter Brown not doing anything out of the ordinary, the trio’s expressions relaxed slightly.

"When were you captured?"

"It’s been about a month now. This underground world is truly vast, and without a map, it’s impossible to find a way out."

"They didn’t even explain the situation here to you!"

The leading middle-aged man seemed curious about this matter too.

"I come from the First Heaven. After annihilating a Titan World, I was captured by a Second Heaven Family called Harrison, who sealed my cultivation and threw me directly into this mine."

Peter Brown didn’t think to hide this matter from them and spoke frankly.

"What did you say?"

"You came from the First Heaven?"

"You really came from the First Heaven!"

The three were suddenly wide-eyed as if shocked by this news.

"That’s right, I came from the First Heaven."

Looking again at Peter Brown, the woman sighed, saying, "Indeed, I heard that the Harrison clan controls a Titan World in the First Heaven, and they always draw new power from there. If you’ve really destroyed one of their First Heaven worlds, it’s likely you’ll never be able to leave this place. They sent you in here not expecting you to genuinely mine, but rather to leave you for dead here. The terrifying thing isn’t the death in the underground world but being refined spiritually; that torment of enslavement is the most horrifying."

A middle-aged man said, "This mine is truly not just owned by the Harrison clan. After billions of years of digging, this mine connects to many places, places even the Harrison clan doesn’t know about."

Peter Brown asked in confusion, "If that’s true, couldn’t the captured people potentially escape?"

The middle-aged man sighed, "Do you know what exists in these underground mines? One of them is Life Stone, cultivation resources needed by sects, absolutely items to be seized. Don’t think of the underground as simple; it’s huge and contains various ores essential for refining artifacts, as well as life grass and fierce beasts underground, vital items for cultivators. No power would not covet them."

Upon hearing this, Peter Brown somewhat understood; this area had long been a sealed place, naturally no one could be let out.

The woman also sighed, saying, "Actually, this massive area is under the influence of the Great Void Sect. Knowing the mine existed here, the Great Void Sect erected a massive formation sealing this whole region. Unless you have an astounding cultivation, dreaming of leaving here is futile."

Great Void Sect!

Peter Brown heard of this sect again. Thinking of how a sect could seal such a large area, he felt a shock in his heart; what kind of Great Power this must require.

Reflecting on the Family’s behavior, Peter Brown understood without asking and queried, "So the Harrison clan is also mining for the Great Void Sect?"

"Yes, you could say that. The Harrison clan can take a portion, but overall it’s the Family committing evil, while the sect doesn’t interfere, obtaining most of the benefits collected by the guardians. So, no matter how much the underground people mine, they can only trade with Families or powers belonging to the Great Void Sect, and for the sect, it’s never a loss. However, for the Family, mining quantity determines rank; they capture people to continually mine to increase their contribution points."

Such a thing!

Peter Brown was already no longer a simple person and didn’t intend to criticize the sect’s deeds as right or wrong. He understood in his heart that an ascendant sect surely does many shameful things; besides, for the Major Powers, the life and death of ordinary people is inconsequential. For them, interests are key; having interests ensures the sect remains strong.
