Hudson decided to cast a divination to determine whether breaking the remaining seals would bring good or bad consequences. He would let the result guide his next move.If the outcome was favorable, he would continue traveling to the other continents, break their seals, and obtain the remaining Qiankun Plates along the way. These extraordinary artifacts could also prove useful in battle. If he managed to master their power, they might become formidable weapons capable of helping him eliminate even the strongest enemies.However, if the result was unfavorable, he might have to return to Lake Tahoe and see whether restoring the Qiankun Plate could reinstate the seal.Hudson had never been particularly accurate when using divination to seek answers, but this time, he felt an unusual certainty deep inside him. It was as though something was guiding him, making him believe that the result would be more precise than ever.He immediately got out of bed, took a bath, and changed into fresh cl

The Sawyer family estate was indeed quite close to Lake Tahoe, only about ten kilometers away.During the drive, Alben remained tactful and never once asked Hudson about what had happened beneath the lake. Having lived long enough to understand how the world worked, he knew that not every piece of information was worth knowing. Sometimes, knowing too much could bring trouble. If someone wanted to share something, all he had to do was listen. But if they chose to remain silent, it was best not to pry.Arnel, on the other hand, was bursting with curiosity. Several times, he almost opened his mouth to ask about the strange discovery, but Alben stopped him with a warning glance every time.It had taken them considerable effort to convince Hudson and the others to visit the Sawyer family. If Arnel's thoughtless questions offended their guests and made them change their minds, it would be a terrible loss for the family.As soon as they arrived at the estate, Alben immediately found an excus

‘You really think I'll make a fool of myself?’Hudson could tell what Dangie was thinking just by looking at his expression. The sect leader clearly expected him to struggle with the Qiankun Plate and eventually ask for help.‘Did he honestly believe Hudson couldn't move it?’If they weren't surrounded by so many people, Hudson could have sent the entire Qiankun Plate straight into the Sealed Heaven Realm with a single thought. Unfortunately, he couldn't afford to reveal that ability in front of everyone. Keeping his secrets was far more important than proving a point to Dangie.So he simply said, "I'll find a few people to help me when I get back."Seeing Hudson turn to leave, Reilan immediately followed him. The two headed toward the woods along the shore of Lake Tahoe."Master, are we really going to wait?" one of the elders asked as he approached Dangie."Of course."Dangie nodded, a faint smile appearing on his face. "I want to see how he's going to move that thing."Although he

When the light finally faded, what appeared beneath it was a massive circular stone disc. Hudson and Reilan couldn't help staring at it in surprise.Earlier, the intense glow had made the entire surface look like a giant mirror, giving the impression that a passage lay hidden behind it. But now that the light was gone, they realized it had all been an illusion.Although Hudson had already suspected that this place wasn't a treasure vault, he had still held on to a small hope that the surface might lead to a hidden realm. At the very least, he could have gone inside and explored whatever lay beyond it.Now, even that faint hope had been completely crushed.After putting away the wooden carving, Reilan released her control over the surrounding air. The thick mist she had created gradually began to disperse, allowing the area to become visible again.Seeing Hudson preparing to approach the stone disc, Reilan quickly stopped him. "I'll go first!"Without waiting for his response, she step

Dangie made his position perfectly clear. The only reason they had agreed to cooperate was because Hudson was supposed to provide information that they didn't already have. Simply telling them that the place was connected to the Martial God wasn't enough. There was no way to determine whether that claim was true, after all. Anyone could make up an excuse like that just to gain their trust.If Hudson intended to keep everything else to himself, then there was no point in continuing their cooperation.Under Dangie's watchful gaze, Hudson remained calm and thoughtful. "Have all your men retreat at least a kilometer away.""And you?" Dangie asked.Hudson knew there was no way to investigate the place discreetly anymore. Without taking out the wooden carving, he wouldn't be able to make any progress. However, he couldn't risk having it stolen, so he needed everyone from the Divine Sect to clear the area first."Do you have a way to break through the barrier?" Dangie asked, his eyes lightin

The funnel-shaped lakebed had already been covered with temporary walkways and platforms, allowing people to move across the muddy ground without sinking into it.As the last of the water was pumped out from the center of Lake Tahoe, martial artists from every direction began gathering to get a closer look at what had been hidden beneath the lake.Among the crowd were genuine Grandmasters as well as those who had only reached the level through artificial means. Regardless of their strength, everyone had their attention fixed on the same spot.At the center of the exposed lakebed was a smooth, mirror-like surface embedded in the ground. It was more than a hundred feet across, and faint blue light flickered across it from time to time, making the entire thing look mysterious."Could that be some kind of treasure?""Maybe it's an entrance to another place!""Who knows? It could be hiding something even more valuable."Speculation spread through the crowd, and everyone seemed to have a di
