Chapter 1070: Entering the Center of Spirit Lake
Wang Chen looked at Lin Chen and said, "This is the red line. With your cultivation, your body simply can't handle entering the depths."
Lin Chen gazed towards the depths of the lake, and saw waves surging on the distant lake surface. He could feel the dark currents in the depths formed by thick condensed energy.
If one could cultivate there, one day might even be worth a year.
"Lin Chen, remember not to venture in. There was once a genius like you who couldn't resist the temptation and stepped into the depths of the lake, and never returned." Xu Kai sighed and said.
At that moment, Lin Chen noticed a trace of sadness on Wang Chen's face.
Lin Chen nodded, "Don't worry, I haven't lived enough yet."
Xu Kai was satisfied and nodded, then said to Wang Chen, "Hall Master Wang, it's been so many years, you should let go."
Wang Chen sighed, tapped the ground with his foot, and leaped away from the lake surface in a few jumps.
Lin Chen asked curiously, "Vice Hall Master Xu, was that person very close to Hall Master Wang?"
Xu Kai chuckled bitterly, "That person was Hall Master Wang's son."
"Son!" Lin Chen suddenly understood.
Xu Kai sighed and said, "Hall Master Wang's son back then was just as outstanding as you. Unfortunately, he was too confident in himself, even though the Hall Master warned him multiple times, he still stepped into the depths of the lake, and the result..."
"Did he die in there?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed as he said.
Patting Lin Chen's shoulder, Xu Kai said, "Yes, so Lin Chen, even those who understood the Medicine God's inner scripture were lost inside. You must not take risks."
After Xu Kai left, Lin Chen looked at the lake surface filled with strong spiritual energy, feeling an itch in his heart.
"Xiao Shuai, what do you think?"
Xiao Shuai said, "I probed a little. This lake is entirely composed of energy, and there are no creatures inside. With your body, you should be able to resist the dark currents in the depths."
"But what about Hall Master Wang's son?" Lin Chen asked apprehensively.
After all, life is precious, and with such a precedent, Lin Chen had to act cautiously.
Xiao Shuai said, "Maybe it was an accident, or maybe he already left Ling Lake!"
"What did you say?" Lin Chen's heart was stirred.
Wang Chen's son entered the lake but didn't exit, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's dead.
Since there is no body, the possibilities are endless.
Xiao Shuai laughed, "Of course, there's also the possibility that there really is some danger ahead that caused him to lose his life. I'm just offering suggestions; you choose for yourself."
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and he stared intently at the lake surface.
"Xiao Shuai, if I were to enter the depths of the lake, what would I gain?" Lin Chen licked his lips and asked.
"Tsk tsk, you certainly can't resist. If everything goes smoothly, there might be a chance to advance to the True God Realm." Xiao Shuai said with a smile.
"True God Realm!" Lin Chen's eyes instantly became fiery.
Having just sensed Wang Chen's True God Realm cultivation, Lin Chen was filled with envy. If entering the depths of the lake meant advancing to the True God Realm in one step, it was worth it.
Hong Liang watched Lin Chen staring at the depths of the lake, lost in thought, and couldn't help but wave his hand in front of Lin Chen's face.
"Hey, you aren't thinking of entering the lake's depths, are you? Entering there is a one-way trip." Hong Liang reminded.
Lin Chen looked at Hong Liang, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, "Not necessarily."
"What do you want to do?" Hong Liang's face changed suddenly.
"Hong Liang, Zhang Cheng, take care of Ningning for these days while I'm away." With these words, Lin Chen tapped his toe and shot out, rushing past the red line into the depths of Ling Lake under everyone's astonished gaze.
"Someone's going into the depths of the lake!" Suddenly, the disciples around Ling Lake were stunned.
Having just left the lake's surface, Wang Chen halted with a tremble in his heart.
The scene from ten years ago replayed in his mind.
"Damn it, is this kid seeking death? Is the heavens truly against my hall from rising?"
Xu Kai hurriedly rushed back, stomping his foot fiercely as he watched the ripples on the lake's surface.
"This idiot, why won't he listen!"
At this moment, everyone's gaze was glued to the lake surface, but soon the surface returned to its original calm.
Many secretly sighed, lamenting that the hall had finally produced a master, only for him to die like this.
At this time, Wang Chen also wore a grim expression and returned to Area D.
"Hall Master, what should we do?" Xu Kai asked anxiously.
Wang Chen sighed, "We have no choice, it's up to him now."
"Hall Master, has anyone ever come out alive from the depths of this Ling Lake?" Hong Liang asked curiously.
Wang Chen took a deep breath, "It's not that no one has come out; the predecessor known as Medicine God, Sun Si, spent three days in the depths of Ling Lake."
"Three days?" Hong Liang gasped.
When Lin Chen had just jumped in, he could feel the thick energy fluctuations in the depths. He believed if it were him, one wouldn't last three minutes, let alone three days before being torn apart by that surging energy!
Wang Chen stared at the lake surface, sighing deeply, "Hopefully, a miracle will occur!"
Xu Kai also took a deep breath, "If he can come out, it would be more than a miracle; it might shock the entire Medicine Sect."
At this moment, Lin Chen had already reached the bottom of the lake.
The bottom was shrouded in darkness. If it weren't for Xiao Shuai guiding him, he would have lost direction by now.
After swimming in the dark lake bed for half an hour, a beam of sunlight gradually pierced through the darkness.
Now, what appeared before Lin Chen was a scene of golden light.
"Is this the center of the lake?" Seeing the dazzling golden glow in the distance, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
Although there were still over ten meters to that golden area, the powerful energy contained within had already stirred Lin Chen's heart.
However, as Lin Chen approached that golden area, he felt his body growing exceptionally heavy, as if filled with lead.
As Lin Chen approached the lake's center, the pressure increased tremendously, making his skin feel as though it were about to be torn.
Though Ling Lake is referred to as a lake, not all of it consists of water, but the spiritual energy absorbed by the grand formation over thousands of years.
And the lake bed was the formation's core, where all energy converged.
Lin Chen gritted his teeth, the five elements disk within him spinning wildly, and his body shot forward, rushing towards the central golden area.
As he got closer to the center, Lin Chen felt the overwhelming pressure surrounding him like a mountain.
Despite desperately mobilizing spiritual energy to resist, the energy was quickly swallowed the moment it left his body.
Finally, bearing the immense pressure, Lin Chen burst into the center of Ling Lake.
Now, Lin Chen's body was completely enveloped in golden light. He took a deep breath and sat cross-legged, starting to greedily absorb the surrounding nature's spiritual energy.
