Kranos's thoughts entered his mind, and he was stunned to see that just beside his Golden Core was a black rock. "Is this the Heaven-Defying Treasure?" Kranos was startled. For a moment, he felt that the old man had tricked them, but recalling that terrifying lake, he knew that wasn't possible.
He reached out his senses and immediately took the rock out. It appeared in his hand; he stared at it for a few minutes and was puzzled, as it looked no different from a common rock. "Could something be inside?" Kranos wondered silently. With that, he knocked lightly on the rock; if anything was inside, he would definitely feel it. However, he was stunned to realize that he still couldn't sense anything.
