Chapter 870: Chapter 869: The Encounter
...
"Is this the end?"
Cyan Nether Hall.
Ye Qingchen stood with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the surroundings. The entire hall seemed extremely ancient, with cyan lamps accompanying candles, infinitely profound. Everywhere, there was an aura of vast ancientness!
Earlier.
He was still guessing where the final point of the elder’s assessment was. But after a flash of light, he was directly sent here. Now it seems that the endpoint everyone reached is clearly the interior of this Cyan Nether Hall!
Sweeping his gaze around.
He discovered.
The surroundings of the hall revealed many passageways. Some passageways had ripples of water, some had raging flames, and some were swept by yellow sand...
"Mr. Ye, those participating in the elders’ assessment will eventually arrive here!" The voice of the Three-Eyed Profound Ape sounded in Ye Qingchen’s mind, "I absorbed the master’s power, and am about to fall asleep..."
The voice of the Three-Eyed Profound Ape was full of exhaustion and a touch of weariness: "Soon, those people will also come out of those passageways!"
"Participants can take three treasures from the hall. However, in the corner of the hall, there is a bronze oil lamp... you must take it, must..."
Before the Three-Eyed Profound Ape could finish speaking, its words abruptly stopped. At the same time, Ye Qingchen could no longer sense its presence.
Clearly!
The Three-Eyed Profound Ape had completely fallen asleep.
"It seems I can return only when I reach Celestial Immortal!" Ye Qingchen thought briefly. Since the others haven’t arrived yet, he planned to take the treasures first.
He saw.
Around the Cyan Nether Hall, there were large tables, and on them were various treasures. According to what the Three-Eyed Profound Ape had revealed earlier, these treasures were collected by the master of the Cyan Nether Hall.
And the Three-Eyed Profound Ape was using these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to attract the Taotian Palace’s substitute elders to test them, choosing a successor for the master of Cyan Nether Hall.
First.
It was the Wind Stone!
This is a necessity to make his nine bone swords reach the Immortal Rank.
"Is this the bronze oil lamp?"
In the corner.
Ye Qingchen found the position mentioned by the Three-Eyed Profound Ape, frowning slightly as he stared at the bronze oil lamp before him. Before seeing it, Ye Qingchen thought the lamp would be extraordinary, but seeing it now, he felt disappointment.
He saw.
The lamp was about three inches tall, roughly two palms wide, covered in rust spots, without a wick or oil. Apart from being old and worn-out, there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it.
If not for the Three-Eyed Profound Ape’s instructions, he wouldn’t have cared at all.
"Hmm?"
But when Ye Qingchen was about to pick up the lamp, his expression changed.
"So heavy!"
It’s important to know.
Ye Qingchen had already stepped into Earth Immortal and practiced the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, showing his strength. Yet he almost failed to lift the lamp with one hand.
"This lamp is unusual!"
Ye Qingchen observed for a while, and upon finding that even his divine sense couldn’t penetrate it, he ultimately decided to give up.
After all.
As the first to reach the endpoint, he could select four treasures, with two remaining. Furthermore, Jian Chen and others would soon arrive here!
According to the Three-Eyed Profound Ape.
A total of eighty-two substitute elders participated in the assessment, and now, excluding Ye Qingchen, only thirty-two were left!
"Celestial Spirit Ring! Immortal Rank Top-Grade Magical Treasure?"
Ye Qingchen chose a space-type magical artifact.
The Void Ring he previously owned was only a Low-Grade Celestial Treasure. Having forcibly held some Saint Grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, it had developed many cracks, so it was perfect to replace it now!
"But, what should I choose for the remaining one?"
Ye Qingchen simply expanded his divine sense and swept across.
"Profound Nether Pill Furnace? I already have the Crimson Mist Cauldron, why bother?"
"Qingyue Sword? It’s not as good as my Star Sword, not interested!"
"Swordsmanship? Martial arts? The two swordsmanship and finger technique given by the master of Cyan Nether Hall, I haven’t fully grasped them, biting off more than I can chew!"
Even though.
There were quite a few good things in this hall, to Ye Qingchen, these things were still lacking a bit.
’Forget it, just randomly pick one!’
Then as Ye Qingchen was about to select one randomly, his gaze suddenly caught something in a corner, and he couldn’t help but let out a voice of surprise. He saw a broken bronze fragment on one of the tables.
The surface of this bronze fragment was faded and worn, even older looking than the previous bronze oil lamp!
"Is this Outer Heaven Meteorite Iron?"
Ye Qingchen’s eyes lit up.
He never thought he could encounter Outer Heaven Meteorite Iron here. Previously, a piece of meteorite iron had enabled the Crimson Mist Cauldron, which was only Earth Grade Top, to be upgraded to its current Immortal Rank Medium Grade.
"It’s got to be it..."
"I wonder if it can fuse with my Star Sword!"
Ye Qingchen was full of anticipation.
"Boom!"
As Ye Qingchen was placing the meteorite iron into the Celestial Spirit Ring, a sudden sound of breaking through the wind was heard.
He looked up abruptly towards the source of the sound. There he saw a figure had burst through the howling yellow sand like an arrow off the string, crossing the passage and stepping into the hall!
That figure, upon entering the hall, couldn’t help but shout in excitement:
"Haha, I’m the first!"
"I’m the first to pass the assessment!"
That figure was none other than Jian Chen!
However.
Just as Jian Chen stepped into the hall, excitedly shouting, yet another figure entered the hall.
"Is this the interior of Cyan Nether Hall?"
"Oh my, such a magnificent hall, the inside is even bigger than the world I previously traversed! I suppose this is the center of the hall!"
"What, Jian Chen is first?"
"Hmm, why is Ye Qingchen nowhere to be seen?"
Seeing this vast and majestic hall, everyone exclaimed in awe. Especially the treasures on the bronze tables, dazzling all eyes!
The magnificence of this hall exceeded everyone’s imagination.
"Ye Qingchen?" Hearing the voices around, Jian Chen sneered: "That little rat might have already been eliminated!"
"Exactly! That little rat presumably foresaw his outcome and didn’t dare to come, so he simply conceded!"
"What a pity, I wanted to personally teach him a lesson! I thought this kid was extraordinary, turns out he’s just a cowardly turtle!"
Hearing Jian Chen’s voice, the crowd either shook their heads with a sneer, looked disdainful, or mocked. Substitute elders from Void Peak, Celestial Moon Peak, and Seven Stars Peak felt particularly regretful.
It’s known.
They initially wanted to take this opportunity to give Ye Qingchen a good beating and vent their resentment.
Who would’ve thought that Ye Qingchen was eliminated.
This naturally made them regret missing this chance!
However, right at this moment.
Suddenly, a leisurely voice came directly from the corner of the hall:
"Is that so?"
