'Trace amounts of Ether Crystals found. The whispers were right yet again.'
Hao Xuan looked to his left at the wall beside him. It had inch deep horizontal tracks of various widths going across from one end to the other, connecting every single hallway and room.
There were traces of dark-purple colored crystals along the length of the tracks, most of which had either been taken out by force or fallen out due to natural wear and tear.
Hao Xuan closed his eyes and let his spiritual sense wander around him. Whenever it came into contact with such crystals it would simply disappear, as if it never belonged to him to begin with.
'What exactly are ether crystals?' Hao Xuan inquired.
A short video popped on the top left of his vision. It was showing an asteroid field somewhere in deep space. The camera zoomed in on one of the larger asteroids that had dark blue crystals all along its sides.
