Chapter 1299: Chapter 1299: Whoever Snatches It, It’s Theirs!

The cavern was lit, but still seemed quite dark.

This was a massive cylindrical space, with a diameter exceeding a kilometer, and at its very center lay a huge cylindrical pit, the depths of which were oppressively dark and impossible to see.

Carson Flores stood at the edge of the pit, surveying his surroundings.

All around, the rock walls had been carved out into numerous caves, each about three meters tall; a few caves were open, but most entrances were sealed off by black barriers, shimmering with the light of runes—some sort of... seal?

The number of these caves was substantial, at least a thousand, densely packed across the entire rock wall.

What was sealed within these caves?

Kobe Tate bent forward, his hands clasped in a bow towards the empty air: "My Lord, the person has been brought here."

An aged and mellow male voice echoed throughout the cavern: "Since he’s here, let him enter the formation and commence the ceremony."

"Yes, My Lord!"

Carson Flores looked around, but couldn’t tell where the voice was coming from. However, his intuition suggested it originated from one of these thousand caves.

Immortals residing in caves?

With so many caves here, could it be that each one housed an Immortal?

"Go down to the very bottom, then start the Ascension Ceremony. Remember to open your mind; do not resist. You might experience some hallucinations along the way, just ignore them."

At this point, Carson Flores had no other choice and dove cleanly into the pit.

In this moment, Carson Flores resolved as though entering Hell itself.

Even if the abyss below were a mountain of blades or Hell itself, at least let me be ahead of Mary Jimenez!

The pit was not overly deep, roughly a hundred meters; once Carson Flores’ feet touched the ground, the light from the formations around him brightened.

Carson Flores, using the illumination from the formations, observed that the cylindrical pit’s bottom and walls were covered with formations inscribed with runes, channels of light flowing swiftly along these lines, like streaming currents of electricity, appearing mystical and profound.

Kobe Tate, standing at the edge of the upper entrance, declared loudly: "The formation around you is part of the Ascension Ceremony. It will rapidly increase your power, allowing you to reach the Great Perfection of Hollow Void and then Ascend to Immortality."

"After the formation is activated, just continue your regular cultivation practice, and ignore everything else."

Carson Flores responded: "Alright!"

As soon as Carson Flores spoke, the formation beneath his feet suddenly brightened overwhelmingly, and all the runes on the walls lit up completely, as an invisible force instantly filled the entire pit and sealed it off.

Carson Flores shivered inwardly, now even if he wanted to escape, it seemed impossible!

The formation began to operate, and massive amounts of Immortal Spirit Qi surged, tinged with a faint scent of blood.

But at this point, Carson Flores couldn’t care less; he started his cultivation practice, beginning his cultivation.

As Carson Flores commenced his cultivation, the Immortal Spirit Qi, as if it had eyes, rushed crazily towards him, aggressively pouring into his body.

Yes, without his own effort to draw it in, they were forcibly infusing it into him!

Carson Flores was astounded, although this Immortal Spirit Qi felt slightly different from the normal one, its amount was incredibly substantial, and its forceful infusion reminded him of the Spiritual Energy pouring that occurs after successfully enduring the Heavenly Tribulation.

If Ascension to Immortality was happening, after successfully enduring the Tribulation, one would be infused with a great amount of Immortal Spirit Qi, replacing all the Spiritual Energy within to Immortal Spirit Qi, hence Ascending to Immortality.

This formation actually possessed such an effect; if it also included a body-refining aspect, did that mean one could truly Ascend to Immortality?

Mystical Immortal Island seemed to have something special.

But no matter, if it could enhance my power, then let’s enhance first.

Even if I have to fight for my life later, being stronger would certainly be better.

Carson Flores began his cultivation wholeheartedly and with feverish intensity.

Meanwhile, the originally quiet massive cavern suddenly stirred.

A figure appeared behind the black barrier of a cave on the rock wall; a middle-aged woman, but upon closer inspection, the figure was not physical, but a Primordial Spirit Shadow!

"This lad cultivates so quickly, a perfect cauldron. Big brother, let me have him."

Another imposing figure emerged behind a different black barrier, also a Primordial Spirit Shadow, "This is a man, why the fuss? Are you lonely and want to become a man?"

The woman replied in a shrill voice: "Such a cauldron comes once in a millennium, even as a man, it’s worth it!"

"Everyone wants him, the boss hasn’t even spoken, I suppose the boss himself will have to take the field this time."

"Boss, let us know, if you’re planning to do it yourself, naturally we wouldn’t dare to compete with you, after all, you are our boss."

"Exactly, boss, let us know!"

That aged and mellow voice appeared again: "I’m not going down."

As the aged voice filled the cavern, it suddenly erupted into a cacophony.

Figures appeared behind the barriers of various caves, each pair of eyes gleaming with avarice, clamoring loudly; the cavern turned as noisy as a marketplace.

"Silence!"

The aged and mellow voice shouted angrily, and all the clamoring figures abruptly shut their mouths, leaving the cavern dead silent.

The aged voice spoke again: "The old rules apply—whoever seizes him, gets him!"
