“There’re writings here, too!” a voice cried out in the distance.
This caused the cultivators to reveal surprised looks. They looked in the direction of the ruins of the Heavenly Palace.
The place where the Heavenly Palace once stood was now a dilapidated ruin. Only broken pillars and crumbled walls remained there. Gigantic rubble was piled up everywhere. The ancient Heavenly Palace seemed to be forever buried underneath this mess.
However, someone turned over a boulder and noticed that there were writings on it.
Quite a few people were exploring the ruins over there. They discovered that there were indeed many boulders that had writings on them. However, the writings were not left behind by visitors before them. Instead, they were more like writings that were originally carved on the walls of the Heavenly Palace.
“There are some here, too,” a cultivator reported from another direction.
A cultivator speculated, “Could they be part of the carvings that were originally on the walls of the Heavenly Palace?”
“Could they be scriptures or martial arts methods?” another person guessed. After all, where they were now was the Old Heaven Court from ancient times. Even though both the buildings and the golems were destroyed, there might still be something left here, right?
All the top figures moved towards the boulders and investigated them. They scanned the writings with their divine consciousnesses. However, they did not discover any abnormalities. They merely seemed to be ordinary words.
Bang! A loud thud could be heard. Di Hao took a step forward, and immediately, a terrifying power of the Great Path enveloped the entire ruins. Everything in the ruins rose into the sky. The stone fragments and the broken walls floated in midair, taking up all the space.
There were way too many fragments around. Now, they were all floating due to the powerful spatial will unleashed by Di Hao. Because of that, everyone could quickly identify all the stones that had writings on them.
Beams of Divine Light of Space were shot out by various cultivators. The fragments that did not have writing on them were shot by the divine light and turned to dust. Only the stones that had writings on them were left floating.
If there was anything valuable here, they had most likely been pocketed by Ji Wudao and the cultivators from the Heaven Realm. However, since the cultivators had suspicions about the stones, it was still worth checking them out. They did not have high hopes of making any discoveries. Nevertheless, it was relatively effortless for them to have a closer look at the stones.
The crowd looked up at the floating rocks. The runes carved on them were all jumbled up. Many of them were most likely already destroyed. Even if there were anything left behind, it would be incomplete. It would be difficult to find anything.
“Everyone, have you discovered anything?” Di Hao asked the cultivators from various forces. His temperament was extraordinary. He appeared not to mind sharing the relic with everyone as they investigated the mystery behind these writings together.
The various cultivators stared over here. Someone said, “Even if there were mysterious manuscripts and secret techniques left behind by the Old Heaven Court, they most likely have also been lost. It is impossible to reconstruct them.”
Many people nodded in agreement. They could not find anything either. Even though they had eliminated all the stones without words on them, they still could not find anything out of the ordinary.
“Hmm,” responded Di Hao as he nodded his head. However, just then, someone from the crowd suddenly attacked. Countless beams of the divine light of the Great Path immediately shot over towards the floating stones. Loud rumbling could be heard, and many boulders were shattered into dust.
Di Hao turned to look at the person and was just about to speak when the scene before him astonished him. It was not just him; many others also narrowed their gazes as they stared at the many floating rocks in the sky.
Many of them were undamaged!
The power of the Great Path failed to destroy them.

“What is this?” exclaimed the crowd.
The various cultivators stared at the remaining rocks floating in the sky. They discovered that the remaining rocks all had one character on them. The characters did not seem to be related, yet the power of the Great Path had not eliminated them. What did this mean?
It meant that these stones were not ordinary.
Di Hao’s will shifted, and beams of divine light immediately shot out again and struck these stones. Yet, the same scene appeared. Even though the stones were sent flying outwards, they were not shattered. They were extremely sturdy. Just from their hardness, it was apparent that they were not ordinary stones.
Di Hao was at the Near-Deity Level. Even an attack from him could not shatter these stones. That meant that they could withstand the attacks of near-deities.
However, why was it that their spiritual wills could not sense any aura coming from these rocks? This resulted in them being overlooked and buried together in the rubble of these ruins. Thus, no one was able to find them.
For a moment, everyone was staring at the floating stones. The vast space suddenly fell silent. Many people were floating in the air while many stood at the top of the sky stairwell as they stared ahead. The atmosphere seemed somewhat delicate.
“These rocks seem to contain some mystery,” Di Hao said in the quiet space. However, his gaze was still directed ahead. He naturally sensed that the atmosphere was off.
If these rocks weren’t ordinary, they might be treasures left hidden in the Old Heaven Court. Although the various cultivators did not know what these rocks were now, they would certainly want to fight over them.
Seeing that no one in the crowd spoke up, Di Hao continued saying, “Everyone, we came here together. Since we all came across these rocks, why don’t we retrieve the rocks from where we stand to prevent a bloodbath? Whoever manages to get their hands on them gets to keep them. How about it?”
The crowd revealed strange expressions. If they all tried retrieving the rocks from where they stood, it was uncertain who would be able to get their hands on them.
However, Di Hao’s power of the Great Path already enveloped these rocks. All he needed to do was shift his will, and he could directly claim them with his power of the Great Path. The crowd speculated that he had already seized the initiative. Thus he made such a suggestion.
“I agree,” seconded Dugu Wuxie, who was from the Empty Divine Realm. He had mastered the Path of Space and was extremely powerful. If they were to snatch the rocks with the spatial power of the Great Path, he was confident that he could seize a lot of them.
“Is there any difference?” Donghuang Diyuan retorted coldly. Even if they agreed to collect the rocks from where they were standing now, the cultivators would likely still attack each other to get more. It was impossible for them to have peace.
At this moment, cultivators from various forces, especially the Emperor-level forces, had all unleashed their wills of the Great Path to envelop some rocks. They would not miss out on such an excellent chance to loot some treasures.
At this critical moment, if anyone were to shift their wills first, they would most likely be able to pocket these rocks right away.
However, no one dared to hoard all the rocks. They were not capable of doing so.
Strands of wills circled the rocks. The wills intensified, and different auras of the Great Path contended with each other in space. As a result, turbulence of the Great Path formed, and the rocks kept vibrating.
Rumble. Finally, someone took the first step to loot the rocks. Divine Light of Space wrapped around the rocks, and they disappeared in an instant. The hunt had begun.
Terrifying auras burst forth from various directions. Some cultivators used gigantic palms to grab the rocks from across the space, while some cultivators rushed forward to pick up whatever they could.
Brilliant green divine light shone from Ye Futian’s body. The light enveloped many rocks. He shifted his will, and immediately, the rocks disappeared from where they were. No power of the Great Path could stop him from absorbing the rocks into his Life Palace.
However, Ye Futian was not greedy. He roughly claimed one-third of the rocks, still leaving many for the other cultivators!
