’Are they talking about Emperor Chen? And what is the forbidden chamber these guys are talking about?’ Hutton thought with a confused look on his face.
"Why don’t we just ask him and find out if he really met him" Bu Ling suddenly said with a light smile on his face.
"Sure" one of the middle aged men said with a dignified look on his face as he shifted his gaze towards Hutton who still have a confused look on his face.
"I am guessing you must be totally confused by what is going on here, right?" The dignified looking middle aged man suddenly asked calmly.
"Umm... Yes, elder" Hutton answered in a suspicious tone while he tried to calm himself down internally.
"Ok let me clear you on what is going on before we move forward" The dignified looking man said with a calm smile now on his face before he continued.
"Where you are right now is the only meeting room in the whole ancient pagoda and who you are seating with are the pagoda’s imperial guards"
"The imperial guards?" Hutton suddenly asked with a confused look on his face. But Bu Ling and the others in the room expected this reaction as the other middle aged man in the same attire with the first suddenly spoke up.
"Yes. Our job as imperial guards is to protect the ancient pagoda and also to guide the chosen one to getting the inheritance of Emperor Chen"
"Which brings us to what we were initially going to ask you when you first appeared in this room with Bu Ling. Did you go into the forbidden chamber?" The last middle aged man suddenly said with anticipation in his eyes.
"Tell them yes" Right before Hutton could answer their question, he suddenly heard a voice in his head which immediately made him pause.
"Emperor Chen, is that you?" Hutton quickly asked with a hopeful feeling. Fortunately for him, it wasn’t too long before he got an answer from the same voice he heard a few moments ago.
"Yes, it’s me"
"Do you know why they are calling the place where your consciousness lies the forbidden chamber?" Hutton immediately asked as soon as he got a confirmation from the voice that it belongs to Emperor Chen.
"That, I will tell you later since people are waiting for your answer, just tell them yes" Emperor Chen answered with a calm tone.
"We are waiting boy" The first middle aged man who asked him a question suddenly spoke up with a light frown on his face.
"Yes elders, I did go into the forbidden chamber" Hutton finally answered when he came back to his senses with a calm look on his face.

When both Bu Ling and the three middle aged men heard him, an excited smile immediately appeared on their faces while their eyes began to glitter.
"So did you meet Emperor Chen?" Bu Ling suddenly asked Hutton with a rushed voice which made Hutton to have a suspicious feeling towards them.
"Just tell them yes. And if they want proof then tell them that I am the last human that achieved immortality and ascended the immortal realm" Emperor Chen suddenly said in Hutton’s mind with a calm voice.
And without wasting any time, Hutton began to tell them what Emperor Chen told him.
"Yes I did, and as proof, he told me that he is the last human to achieve immortality and ascend to the immortal realm"
When both Bu Ling and the three middle aged men heard him, they began to grow ecstatic as one of them suddenly stand up as he said In a trembling tone.
"After all these years, we have finally gotten the chosen one for the inheritance of the great Emperor Chen"
"Ok enough with the wallowing in relief, we need to guide the chosen one to the inheritance of Emperor Chen" the second middle aged man suddenly said as he also rised up from his chair.
"You are right Ling Feng, we should quickly take him to the inheritance" The last middle aged man said as he also stood up.
"Wait... What about the event that is going on in the general hall?" Bu Ling suddenly asked with a confused look on his face.
"Just take the winners of that measley event to the Treasury and give them a prize there. I do not have time to care for unnecessary things" The middle aged man in the middle that Is named Ling Feng said with an indifferent look on his face.
"Ok then and good luck to you Hutton" Bu Ling said with a wry smile on his face before he suddenly vanished from the meeting room.
"Dong Hai and Jiao Lin, please help me watch over the imperial pagoda" Ling Feng suddenly said in a friendly tone towards the two middle aged men beside him.
"Of cause, this is our duty after all" The first middle aged man that is named Dong Hai replied with the same light smile on his face. When Ling Feng heard this, he calmly did a slight nod in gratefulness before he faced Hutton again as he said
"Now then, let’s quickly go to where the inheritance stays"
Right after that, Ling Feng brought out a crystalline or geometric object with facets that refract or manipulate space, often emitting a faint, otherworldly glow.
’What is that?’ Hutton thought with a curious look on his face. It seems like Ling Feng knew what he was saying in his mind as he immediately answered.
"This you are seeing in my hands is a space prism. It is used to manipulate space and dimensions which can make us to move from a area to another"
"Oh" Hutton immediately said after hearing Ling Feng’s explanation as enlightenment dawned upon him. When Ling Feng saw his reaction, he couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle.
And so, In the dimly lit meeting room of the ancient pagoda, Ling Feng, a middle-aged man with a determined expression, stood at the center of the room, clutching a shimmering space prism in his hand. As the others watched in awe, he focused his energy, channeling it into the prism. With a whispered incantation, the prism began to glow brighter, casting intricate patterns of light on the walls.
Slowly, a shimmering portal materialized before Ling Feng, its edges flickering with energy. With a confident step forward, Ling Feng activated the portal, its surface rippling like water as it expanded to reveal a passage to another realm.
"Let’s go" Ling Feng said with a calm look now on his face as he went into the portal.
’Here goes nothing’ Hutton thought as he took in a deep breath before he also went into the portal. As soon as he went in, he saw something otherworldly.
Deep within the heart of the ancient pagoda, hidden away in a chamber veiled by layers of mystique and reverence, lies the sacred repository of an emperor’s inheritance. The journey to this sanctum begins with a winding path through ornate corridors adorned with intricate carvings depicting the empire’s history and the wisdom of its rulers.
Upon reaching the entrance to the chamber, one is met with an imposing door crafted from aged oak, embellished with symbols of power and protection. As the door swings open, the air is heavy with the scent of incense, carrying whispers of ancient rituals and the lingering presence of countless generations.
Inside the chamber, the atmosphere is hushed, as if time itself holds its breath in reverence. Illuminated by flickering torches, the room is adorned with opulent tapestries, shimmering silks, and gilded artifacts, each telling a story of the empire’s glory and the legacy of its rulers.
At the center of the chamber stands a majestic pedestal, upon which rests a magnificent treasure chest, intricately adorned with precious metals and gemstones. The chest emanates an aura of power and prestige, its presence commanding respect and awe.
With great care, the chest is unlocked, revealing the emperor’s inheritance: a collection of ancient scrolls, golden scepters, and jeweled artifacts, each imbued with the wisdom and authority of the empire’s rulers. These treasures are not merely material wealth but symbols of a legacy passed down through the ages, a testament to the enduring power and prestige of the emperor’s lineage.
Guarded by the silent sentinels of time, the inheritance remains a testament to the empire’s enduring legacy, awaiting those worthy enough to unlock its secrets and inherit the mantle of leadership.
’The inheritance of Emperor Chen’ Hutton thought with a solemn feeling rising up within him.
"Follow me" Ling Feng suddenly said as he began to go closer to the inheritance. Without wasting any more time observing thr chamber he is in, Hutton followed Ling Feng towards the inheritance.
Not too long after he began to follow Ling Feng towards the inheritance, a silhouette suddenly materialized at the entrance of the chamber. While staring at the back side of both Hutton and Ling Feng, the silhouette suddenly muttered in a worried.
"I hope I made the right choice in choosing him"
