Chapter 1261 Mysterious Pit

A huge light beam swept through the air, shocking Bao Buping and Chang Hao . If Long Chen hadn’t pulled them down, they would have probably been hit .

But curiously, this light beam didn’t give off any sense of danger . That was what made it so they hadn’t sensed it at all .

“What is that?” Bao Buping stared closely at the huge light beam .

Within this light beam was the image of a huge sword . It appeared heavy enough to shake the sky . With its countless runes revolving around it, it had to be a world-shaking divine item .

Long Chen looked closely at the projection of the sword and then in which direction it was ing from . “As expected, this world’s creatures are up to no good . They’re intentionally projecting the images of divine items toward the Sovereign Blood Seal . That way, the outside world will see the reflections of a few divine items on the Devil Spirit Mountain, and more people will be baited over . ”

Bao Buping and Chang Hao nodded . This light beam was pointed precisely in the direction they had e from .

“But what’s the point in drawing over more people?” asked Bao Buping .

“The answer to that question isn’t something we can rush . Just now, when I did a soulsearch of that creature we killed, I didn’t find any answers in those regards . But this light gives us a direction . The projection has to have the true treasure behind it, so… hehe, you understand,” laughed Long Chen .

“Long Chen, are you saying… we can obtain that treasure?” Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s eyes began to shine .

“But of course . Otherwise, what would be the point of taking such a huge risk in ing here? But right now, our main goal is still the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet . Let’s go take a look at it . ”

The three of them carefully crept in the direction of the light . But while the light looked like it had e from very close by, even after two days and tens of thousands of miles of travel, they didn’t see the light’s source .

On the third day, the light had faded, but they had already determined its direction, so there was no problem .

The three of them stealthily passed by many sentries . Once, they almost ran into one of them, causing the three of them to immediately find a hole to hide in .

They wouldn’t have a problem dealing with a group of just ten of these creatures, but if they were exposed, then even more terrifying lifeforms would e to surround them, and they would be doomed .

On the way, Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s admiration toward Long Chen continued to rise . They realized the only reason the old man had agreed to let them go to Devil Spirit Mountain was because of Long Chen .

Without Long Chen, then with their characters, they’d probably have just charged their way in, and quickly be surrounded and killed .

Long Chen brought them along a winding path, avoiding countless dangers . Although they were still surrounded by danger, it could be said that the old man’s theory that power was greater than intelligence was not always true .

When just intelligence wasn’t able to solve a problem, you would need to rely on power . But when your power wasn’t enough, intelligence could save your life . Without Long Chen’s intelligence, they’d have definitely long since died . This clash of principles was quite conflicting .

From the time they saw that light beam, they traveled for a whole week before seeing a distant mountain .

The mountain was huge and pitch-black . Its circumference was in the tens of thousands of miles, but it wasn’t steep . It was like a huge pile of dirt . However, it was so huge that it was shocking .

When they saw this mountain, Long Chen, Bao Buping, and Chang Hao felt a suffocating feeling . It was like the mountain was trying to crush them flat .

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they felt like they were about to cough up blood from looking at the mountain .

“This mountain is way too sinister . How is it giving off such an evil feeling?” Bao Buping gulped and cursed .

Just at this moment, the mountain quivered and a majestic aura suddenly soared .

Chang Hao and Bao Buping suddenly took out two hollow rocks and hid the three of them inside . The rocks were specifically made by Long Chen . When they ran into certain situations, the rocks could save their lives . Their edges had been ground down to be seamless . No one would suspect the rocks were anything but ordinary .

In an extremely unremarkable part of the rocks were three small holes . The three of them could see outside through them .

Long Chen saw a set of golden armor slowly rising on the mountain . A ray of light illuminated it, and a huge projection shot into the distance . That direction was Devil Spirit Mountain’s entrance .

“That’s a terrifying Ancestral item . ” Bao Buping stared at the armor enviously .

But as the armor slowly rose, Long Chen saw a single thin chain binding it .

“As expected, it was bait, and we’re the fish . ” Chang Hao cursed when he saw the chain .

Clearly, this Ancestral item armor was bait this world’s creatures had put out in order to draw more people over and then kill them .

Although they weren’t able to see the chain clearly, for it to be able to contain an Ancestral item showed how terrifying it was . Ancestral items had their own spirits . If the chain wasn’t strong enough, it would have fled on its own .

“Let’s get closer . ”

The three of them came out of the rocks . Based on their previous experience, this light beam would continue for two days . Going now under the shadow of the light would be safer .

Now that they had reached this point, this region was no longer defended by hidden sentries . However, they were still careful .

When they reached the top of the mountain and saw the situation, they all sucked in a cold gasp of air .

At the top of the mountain were countless holes . Some were large and some were small . They were placed randomly . There would at least be one hole every one hundred miles .

As for the golden armor, it was floating above one of the holes, and the chain binding it was ing out of the hole .

“Long Chen, do you want to try seeing if we can sever the chain and take away the golden armor?” Bao Buping was tempted .

“No rush . There are countless treasures here . Perhaps the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet is in one of these holes . But we can’t check them all one by one . If we tried, we’d probably draw the attention of this world’s creatures . Right now, we should investigate the situation around here . But remember, we have to stay calm at all times,” warned Long Chen .

The two of them hastily nodded . As they got closer to the secrets of Devil Spirit Mountain, they were starting to lose control of their emotions .

On the other hand, Long Chen was still as calm as ever, his emotions not even rippling because of the treasures here . Just this one point made Bao Buping and Chang Hao ashamed . pared to Long Chen, they were clearly too immature .

Long Chen looked around and said, “Let’s go look at the center . ”

This mountain was too huge . Even though they had reached the top, they still weren’t able to see what was going on in the center .

The three of them carefully approached . But just a couple hundred miles in, they were struck dumb by what they saw .

None of them had imagined that at the center was actually a huge square pit . It was hundreds of miles wide, and so deep that all they saw was darkness . But they were vaguely able to see some things on the walls . They couldn’t see clearly with their eyes, but they also didn’t dare to use their divine sense .

“Let’s go down . ”

Looking at the darkness below, he beckoned to the two of them . They began to climb down the wall like geckos .

“Be careful . Don’t touch these black lines . Those are formation lines,” whispered Long Chen suddenly as they climbed .

Huge black lines had started appearing on the walls . They were not all conspicuous and looked just like natural rock veins . But Long Chen’s senses warned him they were traps .

Bao Buping and Chang Hao heard his warning and became even more careful, focusing all their senses on avoiding the black lines .

The three of them descended straight down . After several miles, a notch appeared in the wall .

This notch was four feet deep and two meters tall . Seeing it, Long Chen, Bao Buping, and Chang Hao almost let out a startled cry . That was because a person was standing within the notch .

“Don’t move . He’s already dead . ”

Long Chen hastily stopped Chang Hao and Bao Buping from attacking . If they did, it would cause huge fluctuations .

Bao Buping and Chang Hao stopped their hands that were already starting to attack . Only now did they realize that this person was standing still . However, he possessed a powerful aura . He was clearly a Soul Transformation expert .

Carefully examining him, they saw he was very young, looking to be in his twenties . Within his aura were the fluctuations of Heavenly Dao energy .

“He’s a rank seven Celestial,” said Bao Buping with surprise .

A rank seven Celestial who had reached the Soul Transformation realm . He was definitely a powerful existence, and such a young Soul Transformation expert was truly rare .

Furthermore, this person was exceptionally calm, looking like he was in his meditative state . He wasn’t moving at all, and his body was constantly absorbing energy from heaven and earth like he was cultivating .

If Long Chen hadn’t said that he was dead, they really would have thought that he was a living person .

“His soul has already vanished . All that’s left is a husk . ” Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was powerful, and he instantly saw through this person’s condition .

In truth, he was also very shocked . If a person’s soul had vanished, then it meant that they were dead . But his corpse was still cultivating . That went pletely against the cultivation world’s laws .

He carefully pushed the corpse lightly, and it moved aside . Seeing what was behind him, the three of them were once more shocked .
