Chi! The scarlet sword stabbed through the thick rock wall and flew back to Zhang Che’s side, hovering silently in the air, unmoving.

What choice did it have? It couldn’t pierce through that membrane, and nearly snapped itself in two…

The excitement in Zhang Che’s eyes grew even more intense. With such a powerful layer of protection, it went to show how precious the treasure hidden inside was!

-Could it be that this secret plane was some broken dimension left behind by some ancient powerful being, which explains why there are so many bizarre things in here?-

Putting those strange creatures side, the green land he arrived at a couple of days ago was even more peculiar, not to mention the scarlet and white twin swords that should only exist in Xianxia novels.

Now, this unknown treasure hidden deep underground in the secret plane had managed to exceed Zhang Che’s imagination. The scarlet sword he controlled couldn’t even penetrate the barrier formed from that thin membrane. It truly was a little too unthinkable.

-Since I can’t pierce through it, I’ll just dig you out and bring the whole thing away!-

Zhang Che furrowed his brow, deep in thought. After a short while, he made up his mind and had the Purple Crystal Tortoise continue working, digging around the opening at the bottom of the tunnel, determined to dig out the entirety of that thing.

-I don’t believe the size of that thing will be so big that the Purple Crystal Tortoise can’t dig it out!-

As truth would have it, the thing was really huge.

The Purple Crystal Tortoise kept digging around it, and he still couldn’t see the end of the barrier emitting a gentle light even after digging a big hole several dozen meters wide!

Zhang Che slowly began to feel something was wrong.

If this thing really was the protective barrier of some treasure, then it should be spherical in shape. Why did he feel that the layer of membrane was flat as a mirror?

-No, no, there must be something not right!-

Zhang Che had the Purple Crystal Tortoise stop its meaningless actions and fell into deep thought for a while. However, he realized that he couldn’t fathom what this layer of light membrane was, no matter how hard he thought about it.

-Should I let my babies try using their elemental attacks?-

Thinking of that, Zhang Che proceeded to give the order. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon went first and breathed out a stream of frozen air at the light membrane.

However, there weren’t any changes at all.

Next, the Scarlet Flame Drake went forward. It directly used its Liquifying Scarlet Flames skill, breathing a mouthful of scarlet raging flames onto the layer of light membrane. However, it was directly deflected off to the other side, instantly melting the rock wall at the other end of the tunnel.

The boiling hot lava flowed onto the light membrane, then quickly solidified and turned into a layer of smooth rock, covering the entire membrane.

“There’s really no other way…” Zhang Che sighed, losing hope in his heart.

The layer of light had exceeded his imagination and knowledge. Neither physical or elemental attacks could do a thing to it. What else could he do?

-Wait, wait, wait. There should be a way…-

Zhang Che closed his eyes and thought for a long while. An idea suddenly struck him. First, he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise move the new layer of rocks above the light membrane away, then he stepped onto it. When he stepped onto it, he felt a similar amount of force pushing back against him, reminding him of trampolines from amusement parks.

-What freaking trampolines!?-

Zhang Che shook his head violently, purging the useless thoughts from his mind. Afterwards, he laid down prone on the light membrane, focusing his mind onto the golden vortex in his spiritual sea, instantly entering a profound state.

Since this golden vortex allowed him to control the swords, then couldn’t he try to communicate with the treasure beneath the light membrane? It was just like in those Xianxia novels, communicating with spiritual treasures using his divine sense.

No matter if it worked or not, giving it a try wouldn’t hurt.

Just as Zhang Che started trying to communicate with the light vortex beneath him through the golden vortex, a change suddenly occurred.

A tremendously strong vacuum suddenly appeared from the inside of the light membrane, trying to suck Zhang Che in. His eyes quickly widened in shock and he hurriedly struggled to pull himself back, but was unable to overpower the strong draw from within the light membrane.

With a thought, his pets and subdued beasts quickly shot towards him one after another, pulling Zhang Che back.

However, as his babies joined in on the tug of war, the suction force from the light membrane directly grew several times stronger, sucking Zhang Che in along with his babies.

Countless thoughts flew past him.

First, he was shocked. Then, he thought of his past experience of being sucked into the black door, then immediately denied that idea.

-Not right; if it was that mysterious force from before, it is impossible for the rainbow crystal to have no reaction. It would have acted to help me when the suction first came about.-

Just as countless thoughts flew past him, he suddenly felt as if there was nothing underneath him, falling freely into an endless abyss. The blinding light forced him to keep his eyes shut.

However, he could move freely again!

-What the heck is this? Didn’t we dig to the deepest part of the secret plane? How can I be falling?-

Zhang Che was astonished. He opened his eyes a hair and summoned the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to catch him, finding he had some time to observe his surroundings.

What entered his sight first was that endless rock wall above his head, embedded with countless crystals emitting dim light!

“The heck, what the freak is going on!?” Zhang Che nearly fell from the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back, feeling the hair all over his body standing on end.

He had clearly dug to the bottom of the rock strata of the secret plane, and was sucked in by that light membrane. Why was he suddenly falling from the sky of the secret plane in the blink of an eye?

Or perhaps, the secret plane was actually a multi-layered dimension, and he was falling from an upper level to the level below?

It didn’t seem right when he thought about it. It might not necessarily be a upper-lower level relationship.

Zhang Che felt his brain being overwhelmed. He didn’t understand if he was currently in the secret plane he was on originally, or if he had arrived at another independent dimension.

However, there was no doubt that this place still belonged to the secret plane. The rock wall over his head was identical. Judging by the time, it should be daytime of the next day. The blinding light around him was the proof of this.

With a thought, he directed the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to fly towards the rock wall above his head.

However, after trying for a few minutes, Zhang Che had no choice but to have the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon give up.

The layer of rock wall was similarly endless. No matter how high the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew, they could never get any closer.

-That’s strange. Where did I fall from, then?-

Zhang Che grew even more confused.. But he could no longer be bothered to think about this question. Instead, he rode the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, quickly heading to the ground.

Afterwards, he was stunned again.

Several dozen kilometers beneath him, what entered his sight was a vast, endless ocean. On it were dotted islands of various sizes, spread out like a star scape.

“What kind of world is this exactly!?” Zhang Che finally groaned weakly…
