According to Baili Si, after the two Great Catastrophes, the Ancient Sect Era could no longer extract free-floating energy from space because far too much technology had been lost. However, since the Ancient Sects inherited the legacy of the Remote Ancient Internal Power Civilization Era, they used surviving technology to create a substitute. It still relied on God Particle quantum energy, but instead of drawing free-floating energy directly from space, it had to use ores—and not just any ordinary ores, but ones rich in trapped free-floating energy.
"These ores... aren't really ores at all, but rather the most ordinary stones, and you can find them among all sorts of rocks. To put it simply, certain stones that remain for a long time in places where free-floating energy is densely concentrated end up absorbing and carrying that energy. Furthermore, the new energy furnaces don't have extremely high requirements for the energy content of the stones. In a pinch, you can even just dig up dirt from the ground and use it, though that will drastically shorten the lifespan of the energy furnace. So whenever possible, it's best to select stones with a higher concentration of free-floating energy," Baili Si explained.
According to him, the harsh environments where high-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures grew, extremely deep underground areas, or the uninhabited zones between the two seas were places where m…
