At this time, Li Mu had already entered the mining area. He saw clusters of solid chaotic energy distributed in various areas of the mine. The smallest cluster of chaotic energy was as big as the solar system.
Unlike the chaotic energy commonly seen in the Chaos Sea, the chaotic energy in the mine is extremely violent and contains a lot of impurities, which makes it impossible for cultivators to absorb it and improve their cultivation.
And inside the vast chaotic energy, lightning and thunder were constantly interlacing. Li Mu could feel that even an ordinary Immortal Emperor who entered inside would probably not be able to withstand the attack of those lightning and thunder.
This is the so-called mineral material, and the Chaos Ore is mined from it. The content of Chaos Ore depends on the quality of the ore vein. For a poor quality ore vein, there may be only one or two Chaos Ore pieces in a solar system-sized ore vein, or even none. For a high-quality vein, it is said that 53 pieces can be mined. However, this is the highest record ever created in the entire Chaos Sea. For most of the other mineral materials, it is good to be able to mine 10 pieces.
You should know that a piece of Chaos Stone is only the size of a child's fist, and under normal circumstances, less than 10 Chaos Stones can be mined from a mine the size of a solar system. Moreover, the distribution of these Chaos Stones is extremely scattered. Coupled with the harsh conditions inside, cultivators without sufficient strength will find it difficult to move forward, and even their spiritual consciousness will be disturbed. It can be seen how difficult it is to mine Chaos Stone.
However, this mine is very large, with a diameter of about 50,000 light years. Li Mu initially estimated that there are at least 10 billion pieces of mineral material inside. This is very terrifying. If all of it can be mined, there will probably be tens of billions of chaos stones.
From time to time, a few miners can be seen going in and out of the mine. Most of them look very embarrassed and tired.
"Look at this mine. Probably one third of it has been mined. This Heifeng is quite rich!" Li Mu thought to himself.
Looking at Kunpeng next to him, Li Mu said with a strange expression: "It's really a drought that will kill you, and a flood that will kill you."
However, Kunpeng didn't care about what Li Mu said, and smiled: "Haha, Palace Master, don't look at the superficial glory of these city lords. In fact, the people of the Domain Lord's Mansion count them very hard. Every time they collect taxes, at least 99% of their income must be taken away. Sometimes they can't even pay the taxes. The consequences of not paying enough taxes are very serious. If it happens once or twice, they will be suppressed at the lightest, and they will be wiped out at the worst. On the contrary, although those casual cultivators can only dig some wild mines, at least they don't have to pay taxes. Every piece of Chaos Stone they get is their own, of course, the premise is that they don't encounter robbery. But if you don't want to practice, don't want to improve yourself, and live a bad life, you don't even have to worry about Chaos Stones, just lie down, who is not the master of a universe, with a lifespan of hundreds of billions or trillions of years? Return to your own universe and you will still be the king and dominate."
Li Mu was stunned when he heard this: "Those city lords are so miserable? Why do they still do such thankless tasks?"
"Haha, everyone has their own aspirations. Who doesn't want to be the boss? Besides, if you are lucky, you might be able to leave some surplus food and accumulate it for hundreds of billions of years. You might even be able to go to the Domain Lord's Mansion to smooth over relationships and find a job in the Domain Lord's Mansion." Kunpeng said with a smile.
"Is the job at the Domain Lord's Mansion so attractive? Which cultivator who can become a city lord has not attained enlightenment? Even if they are independent cultivators, they will be much happier than working for the Domain Lord's Mansion, right?" Li Mu was suspicious.
"Hehe, Palace Master, you don't understand this. Working in the Domain Lord's Mansion can make a lot of money. It's a much more stable source of income than being a City Lord, and it's very safe. The most important thing is that when the Domain Lord changes every 10 billion years, the servants in the Domain Lord's Mansion can follow the Domain Lord and leave the Chaos Sea." Kunpeng said with a smile.
Li Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard this. The water in this Chaos Sea is really quite shallow.
At this moment, a majestic voice resounded throughout the mine: "All miners stop what you are doing and gather with the others at the center of the mine!"
"Strange." Qingyao murmured.
"What's wrong?" Li Mu looked at Qingyao with confusion.
"Palace Master, as far as I know, this mine has never stopped working once. Every miner has to mine continuously for 100 years without any time to breathe. Today, Heifeng is willing to shut down the mine directly. I feel this is too weird." Qingyao replied.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. If Heifeng wants to play, I will play with him and see what tricks he can come up with." Li Mu smiled faintly, and then followed the miner to continue flying towards the center of the mine.
Half an hour later, Li Mu and his two companions arrived at the center of the mine. At this time, a large group of miners had gathered here. They gathered in twos and threes and talked in low voices. Some miners were sitting cross-legged in meditation to restore their vitality. After all, this kind of rest time was unprecedented, and taking advantage of this time to restore some energy in the body would make the subsequent mining work much easier.
"Senior... Senior, why are you here?" Yuan Duo, who was mixed in the crowd, saw Li Mu and the other two who had arrived, and ran over quickly.
"Haha, your city lord asked us to come. Not only that, he drove all the other cultivators in the city in. They are still behind and should be here soon." Li Mu said.
When Yuan Duo heard this, his expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of horror.
"Do you have any inside information?" Li Mu asked.
Yuan Duo took a deep breath, clasped his hands, and whispered, "Palace Master, in fact, people often disappear in the mine, especially in the past few decades, miners disappear almost every day. Just half a year ago, one of my brothers faintly heard the roar of beasts coming from the core of the mine, and today, the old man Black Wind actually drove all the people in the city here. I suspect... I suspect that Black Wind is secretly raising some extraordinary beast..."
