Sam desperately wanted to contact Ling Tian at the moment.

He has to stop the Solar fragments from coming here. There is too much at stake for him in this place. If he cannot do that, he has to find where these people are arriving on this planet.

There is too much at stake within this planet and the only reason he was able to feel safe is that the only access to this planet from other realms is through his organization.

In fact most people working in his organization don't even know this place exists.

He has too many people and too many resources at stake.

But he cannot contact Ling Tian. There is no response from even the forth floor of the divine dimension.

So, he can only think of other ways, he deployed the consummate stage cultivators to search for consummate solar fragments that came with the first batch. He ordered for immediate engagement when they found where they are.

Meanwhile, he took the map of the central continent and tried to find a place which is mostly likely to be the right place for these people to arrive. But there are very limited options and most of these places are occupied by the dusk organization as they also make good hiding spots and ambush points.

Meanwhile, Raiju is going a tracking trip along with another Raiju elder. They are trying to trace back the path of the Astral Plane Solar Fragments through the smell and it is actually working.

But it is a bit slower than what Sam would have wanted.

The Central continent is full of beasts and it would be hard to get a hold of a single smell in the middle of such a forest when they are moving at such a speed. But still both of them are doing an impeccable job at tracing back.

So, Sam gave up on the first idea of searching through the map directly and let Raiju and his uncle take care of the situation.

But three days of constant tracking lead them to a mountain region at the center of the Central continent.

This valley is a large circular field formed naturally with a series of mountains surrounding it.

It is a great place for conducting fights and tournaments.

But from the looks of it, it seems like something is wrong with this place.

It is almost impossible to appear here out of thin air unless they used a one sided space gate which is not possible as they couldn't construct one without marking a spot on this side. Then they would have to use a dimensional drifter or device similar to this.

But from what Ling Tian and Old beast said, the coordinates of this place are erased from the rest of the world.

They cannot calculate the coordinates of this place unless they marked it from inside.

That means, there is a connection between this place and somewhere else which he doesn't know about.

They thought that they searched this place high and low, but the exploration has to begin once again now.

Sam personally started searching the area.

With a normal glance, there is nothing wrong, even the spiritual sense and the energy vision didn't show anything.

No traces of spatial energy, no traces of trap doors, hidden mechanisms nothing. No matter how he looked at it, everything is completely normal. It looked like a normal rocky mountain lump no matter how many times they saw it.

San decided to go with the most time consuming but accurate method.

He started scanning every inch of the valley with the observation. It would take days even with the Astral Plane cultivation and increased range.

It is hard to scan each inch of the of the rock and particularly deeply until they reached the core of each mountain and then also to the core of the valley.

This place might even be the center point of this planet, if he has to go to the core of the whole planet to find out how they are coming here, he would do so.

And thankfully after three days of constant checking it wasn't required.

Because Sam found something in the core of a mountain.

He immediately started destroying the mountain and soon there is a large hole which led to a stone pillar in the middle of the mountain core.

He must say destroying the mountain is easier than observing it, so he proceeded to destroy mountains and out of tens of these mountains, he found the stone pillars in eight of them.

They are inscribed with hundreds of runic structures. The designs are complicated beyond belief. But most of them are things Sam is familiar with.

They are runes for concealing and the runes for spatial transfer.

He examined them for another day to get an understanding on what this is and he came to some conclusions.

This is a special space gate and it has very weird but specific functions. It is a oneway space gate when it was used to send someone outside. But the downside is that they cannot select the location they need to go. It was already locked. And even worst thing is that it is expensive. Even Sam had to think twice even thrice before taking that many spirit stones.

When it is used as a receiver, any space gate in the world could access it, but they had to drop the perfect coordinates. If they have the coordinates they can send anything or anyone inside.

But in the current situation it shouldn't be possible to use this as the incoming function was sealed.

In fact, even the outgoing function was supposed to be sealed, but someone used the inscriptions to loosen that seal a long time ago and Sam could guess who it might be because of the style of inscriptions.

It has to be Murali. The master of several trades of the Desolate. His mysterious disappearance is now solved.

He used his knowledge to alter the seal a bit and escaped from this planet, but even he didn't mess with the incoming seal.

Technically it should be impossible for anyone to use this formation to come to this planet.

But there is no other way, other than this formation that could explain the sudden appearance of these solar fragments.

Sam recorded everything and went to the tempest valley to show the formation to the Old beast.

"This formation is of an old style. Extremely old. It is ancient. No one in these days would use this type of space gate as it is time consuming to set up and energy consuming to use.

But trust me it creates a proper space gate channel and it is almost impossible to interfere in it unless someone knows the exact schematics of the formation and has a great grasp of the spatial element and knowledge of space gate.

This would be a treasure for inscription researchers and only a few can actually replicate it. Can you recreate it?"

The Old Beast asked Sam.

"No, not at my current level. The setup is too complicated my energy level or strength and even my mental strength wouldn't support it any time soon. But I can do some alterations on the inscriptions particularly on the seals and concealments."

"I guessed as much.

I think someone might be using the small altercation in the outgoing seal to send people back here."

"But that is almost impossible."

"You said it yourself, almost. It can be done when someone who knows how to make these things tries.

And you are taking about a God here. Do you think he cannot get his hands on such a person? Hou Yi might be a piece of crap, but he is a high level god all the same. So, you have to be prepared and not rule out the possibility."

"But why did he only send a few people and that too weakest ones?"

Sam thought and the Old beast also became silent.

"I have to check them once again. If my theory is correct then I might have an advantage here."

With that Sam went back to the valley and examined them once again closely.

Then he finally understood what the situation is and he was ecstatic for a second.

The seal that Murali altered is not completely undone. He made sure that people who are strong couldn't be sent out from here. Sam doesn't know whether murali did this intentionally or he was only capable of unsealing this much or he might have thought this much was enough.

But if Old beast's theory about them sending people here is right, then this also adds up. Then cannot send too many people at the same time and they also cannot send people who are too powerful which gives him some window.

Before he could think of ways to find the what stage cultivator can be sent here, he got a message and it was from the beast faction.

Particularly it was from Sanjay, he arrived at the city with an important message and he mentioned that it was an extreme emergency. And there was mention of the Solar fragments.
