Chapter 1279: Chapter 1299: Whoever Grabs it, It’s Theirs!_1

There was a certain brilliance within the cave, yet it still felt quite gloomy.

This is a huge circular space, more than a kilometer in diameter, and in the very center is a giant cylindrical pit, so dark you could not see the bottom.

Lin Chen stood on the edge of the pit, surveying the surrounding area.

Upon the four walls of the cave, numerous cave entrances about three meters high were carved out. A small portion of these cave entrances was open. On the other hand, most of the entrances are sealed with a black barrier that shimmered with the radiance of runes. That looked like a... Seal?

The number of these caves is quite substantial, at least there were thousands of them, scattered all over the cliff.

I wonder what these caves are concealing?

Guo Jia bowed respectfully, his hands cupping one another in a respectful manner towards the empty air as if to an invisible person, "Great One, I have brought him here."

An aged yet rich male voice sounded within the cave, "Now that he is here, let him enter the Array. Let’s proceed with the ceremony."

"Yes, Great One!"

Lin Chen looked around but was not able to discern where exactly that voice was coming from. However, an intuition informed him it was originating from one of these myriad caves.

A divine being dwells in this cave?

So, if there are so many caves here and does a divine being dwell in each cave?

"Descend, get to the very bottom and commence the Ascension Ceremony to divinity. Remember, free your heart and mind, don’t resist. You might experience illusions along the way – just pay them no mind," the voice commanded.

By this time, Lin Chen had no choice. He leaped decisively into the pit.

At this moment, Lin Chen made up his mind; he would descend even if down there were Hell itself. At least let me make the journey before Jia Xue!

The pit wasn’t too deep, only about a hundred meters or so. Upon landing on the solid ground, the brilliance of an Array Formation around him was triggered and lighted up.

Lin Chen looked around, illuminated by the radiance of the Array Formation. The cylindrical pit’s bottom and cave walls were filled with Array Formation runes. Wisps of light moved at incredible speed along the runes’ lines, much like fast-moving electricity, creating a mysterious sight.

Guo Jia stood on the edge of the fathomless pit and called out, "Your body is surrounded by the Array Formation for the Ascension Ceremony. It will rapidly enhance your strength, making you reach the Great Perfection of the Void Separation realm and thereafter, ascend to immortality."

"Once the Array Formation gets activated, practice cultivation as you do normally. Do not worry about anything else."

Lin Chen responded, "Alright!"

As the sound of Lin Chen’s voice echoed in the air, the Array Formation underfoot suddenly emitted an intense light, the cave wall’s runes also brightened entirely. An intangible force immediately filled up the whole deep pit, sealing it.

A chill ran down Lin Chen’s spine. I won’t be able to escape from here now, will I?

The Array Formation began its operation and a copious amount of Immortal Spirit Qi gushed out. This Immortal Spirit Qi emitted a hint of a faint bloody smell.

At this point, Lin Chen couldn’t care less. He started cultivation.

As Lin Chen executed his cultivation exercises, the streams of Immortal Spirit Qi seemed to develop eyes. They flowed frenziedly towards Lin Chen and rapidly into his body.

Yes, there was no need for him to inhale, they poured in on their own!

Lin Chen was greatly astonished! This Immortal Spirit Qi felt slightly different from ordinary Immortal Spirit Qi. It was not only excessively plentiful but also forcibly poured in. This reminded Lin Chen of the Ascension surge of spiritual Qi after successfully Crossing the Thunder Tribulation.

If one ascends to immortality and successfully Crosses the Tribulation, a copious amount of Immortal Spirit Qi would infuse into the body, replacing all the spiritual Qi in the body with Immortal Spirit Qi, and thus becoming an Immortal.

Apparently, this Array Formation possesses such effects. If this had the function of tempering the physique, wouldn’t that entail one could genuinely ascend to be an Immortal?

Mystical Immortal Island really has a great deal of stuff!

No matter, as long as it could enhance my abilities, let’s just enhance them!

Even if I might need to stake my life later on, being stronger is always a better situation.

Lin Chen started to engage in frenzied cultivation, putting all his heart into it.

Meanwhile, stirrings arose within the room which has previously been silent.

Behind the barrier of a cave on the wall, a figure unexpectedly emerged. It was a middle-aged woman. However, upon a closer look, the figure was insubstantial, a Primordial Spirit Illusion!

"This kid’s cultivation speed is so fast, an excellent choice for a furnace. Boss, give him to me!"

Behind the barrier of another cave on the wall, a robust figure emerged, also a Primordial Spirit Illusion, "This is a man. Why would you meddle in? Could it be that you’re unsatisfied and want to be a man?"

The woman shrieked, "A furnace of this caliber only comes by once in a thousand years. Even if it’s a man, it’s still worth it!"

"You want him, who doesn’t? The Boss has yet to declare, I’m afraid the Boss will need to step in personally this time."

"Boss, you’ve got to say something. If you’re intending to enter the stage yourself, naturally, we would not dare to compete with you. After all, you’re our Boss!"

"Yes, Boss, say something!"

The familiar mellow and aged voice appeared once more, "I will not step in."

As the venerable voice echoed throughout the whole cave, the initially serene cave became rowdy.

One silhouette after another started to emerge behind the barriers of the different caves. Their eyes all glowed with greed, and the arguing in loud voices began. It was as lively as a marketplace within the cave.

"Silence!"

As the mellow and aged voice yelled out in anger, all the chatty figures instantly shut their mouths. The cave was filled with an eerie silence.

The aged voice echoed once again, "The old rule applies. Whoever gets him, keeps him!"
