Chapter 1658: Chapter 1678: You said you were a remnant soul, but you are lying._1

Chen Haoran and Lin Chen’s conversation left the crowd somewhat baffled.

Despite some lingering doubts, with two Peak-True Immortals standing watch in front of Lin Chen, who would dare to rush forward recklessly and serve themselves up on a platter?

A mere Earth Immortal like Lin Chen possesses two Peak-True Immortal maids. This immediately sparked a flurry of speculation among the crowd.

This guy must be some wealthy family’s young master who is out experiencing the world.

Clearly, he unlocked the Cave Mansion, yet he gives off an air of disinterest. It is apparent he values his life over the treasures and techniques inside.

With Chen Haoran’s loud yell, the scene suddenly descended into chaos.

Some retreated, distancing themselves from the fighting; some threw out large-scale attack talismans; some called forth their Magical Treasures and launched indiscriminate attacks on those around them; and some rushed towards the sacrificial altar, seeking the Sun Real Fire.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged in a corner, his expression calm.

Suddenly, he sensed someone watching him.

"Since you’re the one who opened the Cave Mansion, then you are the one destined. Why aren’t you fighting for the Sun Real Fire, give it a try?"

Lin Chen was taken aback. Wasn’t this the venerable voice that had announced the rules earlier?

He wasn’t sure whether it was his imagination, but Lin Chen had a feeling that this voice seemed to have grown more powerful than before.

Lin Chen glanced around and found no anomalies. He responded in a low voice, "I’m not of the Fire Spirit Root. I fear I won’t be able to handle it. My life is more important."

"The path of a cultivator is one that defies the heavens. Your heart is not suited for it. An opportunity is right before you, yet you dare not take a risk. How can you walk farther on the Immortal Path?"

"The Sun Scripture isn’t exclusive to those of the Fire Spirit Root. You emanate an overwhelming Sword Intent. You must have a Sword Spirit Body, right? While a Sword Spirit Body does not belong to the Five Elements and does not have the affinity of the Five Elements Spirit Body, its power is not as great. However, it also won’t be hindered due to the attribute incompatibility during cultivation."

"Do you not truly want to give it a try?"

Lin Chen’s gaze was serene. His eyelids drooped, his voice calm, "There are so many gifted young masters here. They would be more suitable than me. I am cultivating just to stay idle until death, to lie low and laze around. With my current strength, I can lie low for countless years. I don’t need to hurry."

"Such a stubborn piece of wood!"

The venerable voice seemed to get angry at Lin Chen’s stubbornness and grumbled angrily, "You don’t want the Sun Real Fire, don’t you even want the Sun Scripture too?"

Lin Chen calmly retorted, "I want to, but I don’t want to risk my life. If it’s dangerous, then I would rather not have it... Senior, everyone is fighting to death over the Sun Real Fire, why are you focusing on me, an outsider?"

The venerable voice fell silent for a few seconds before snorting coldly, "To steal the Sun Scripture, I lost my life. If anyone just waltzes in to take it, I would be furious."

"I want them to bleed for this opportunity. Only the bravest, the most determined, the strongest, and the cultivators with the most potential can obtain my inheritance. You are right there, utterly indifferent to such a top-level inheritance. It pisses me off when I see you!"

Lin Chen was silent for a few moments, "Senior, you claimed to be a remnant soul, but you aren’t..."

The venerable voice fell silent again. After a while, he spoke up and asked, "How do you know?"

Lin Chen felt a sinking feeling inside. He didn’t know if the other party was a remnant soul or not. He had merely bluffed to test him.

Perhaps because Lin Chen had always appeared detached and indifferent towards the Sun Real Fire, the sudden revelation caught Gao Yu off guard, revealing a slip.

Gao Yu might have realized he had been tricked considering he was dealing with an Earth Immortal. Hence, he didn’t bother to make up any excuses, but directly admitted it and asked Lin Chen how he had found out.

Lin Chen pretended to be mysterious and said, "I naturally have my ways, Senior. How about we cut a deal?"

Gao Yu bitterly asked, "What deal?"

Lin Chen answered, "I originally planned to enter and have a look around to see if there were any relics left by senior. But since Senior is still here, I naturally won’t disturb you. Regardless of whether Senior wants to select a successor, or has other plans, it has nothing to do with me. If you can allow us three to leave, I will no longer disturb senior’s plans. We each go our own way, okay?"

Gao Yu’s voice chilled, "What do you mean?"

Gao Yu’s attitude only made Lin Chen more certain that this Immortal’s Cave Mansion was actually a trap. However, he didn’t let any signs show and calmly answered, "I have no intention of disrupting any of your plans. But I want to leave alive. Just as simple as that."

Gao Yu snorted coldly, "What do you take me for? I’m just picking a chosen one to inherit the Sun Scripture. What other plans could I have? You better watch your tongue, or else, I will slap you to death."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, glanced left and right, and whispered, "Although the Cave Mansion is protected by the Array Formation, if we all attack it from the inside, wouldn’t this formation break?"

Gao Yu snapped back in an aggravated tone, "If you’re not interested, then just watch quietly. After everything is over, I will naturally let you leave. But if you try to interfere with my selection of the chosen one, I will eliminate you first."

Lin Chen didn’t respond further and started pondering over something in his heart.

Perhaps this place isn’t as sturdy as it seems on the surface. If there is a powerful enough impact, it might break the prohibitions in place here?

The Black Dragon Wave, would it be enough?
