Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Descension Cave Mansion

"So his strength is this strong!"

Lin Chen, who was hiding in the shadows among the crowd, was incredibly shocked after witnessing Ma Yuan’s mighty display of power as he slaughtered countless shape-shifting Great Demons, carving out a path of blood.

He finally understood why Zhao Yijing, Xu Lianyu, and the others were so worried about him and even planned to persuade him to give up on going to Qilin Mountain.

The power of Ma Yuan before him was indeed not something Lin Chen could compare with. Lin Chen was also secretly relieved that back in the Mysterious Forest, he had injured Ma Yuan by sheer luck and because Ma Yuan hadn’t taken him seriously. Otherwise, even if Lin Chen wouldn’t have been killed by Ma Yuan, he would still have been skinned.

At this moment, Ma Yuan had already killed nearly fifty shape-shifting Magical Beasts, all at the Peak of the Melding Earth Realm. In addition to that, he had slain dozens of other Little Demons that had not yet transformed.

Roar—

After roaring at Ma Yuan, the Magical Beasts seemed to realize that this human was not someone they could provoke, and they turned to run towards Qilin Mountain.

Following that, Ma Yuan led the people of the Black Cloud Sect to begin their ascent to Qilin Mountain.

Others from the various Sects closely followed. Although they somewhat feared Ma Yuan’s strength, none of them were willing to give up on the chance to claim the inheritance of this place.

Seeing that everyone had started to make their way toward Qilin Mountain, Lin Chen decided to go back and inform Zhao Yijing and the others.

Lin Chen returned to the wall outside the Mysterious Forest and conveyed the news to Zhao Yijing and the others. He also told them about Ma Yuan carving a path of blood.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yijing and the others involuntarily gasped in shock, wanting to once again remind Lin Chen not to go to Qilin Mountain, but Lin Chen promptly rejected their concerns.

With no choice, they agreed to accompany Lin Chen.

However, after discussing together, they decided not to take the main paths used by the other Martial Artists. Instead, they chose to take less traveled paths up the mountain, which was a decision Lin Chen agreed with.

After all, the paths less traveled by others might contain more valuable Treasures.

Thus, the group set out. Along with Lin Chen, his four senior martial sisters also joined, as well as several Jade Cauldron Sect disciples who had been hiding with them in the cave.

The strength of these Jade Cauldron Sect disciples was not weak. Although they were somewhat inferior compared to Zhao Yijing and the others, they were still True Disciples and were determined to try their luck at obtaining the inheritance, even after learning about Ma Yuan’s strength.

After passing Mt. Taiyin Path, the group chose secluded trails to ascend the mountain. With Lin Chen’s Spiritual Bees scouting ahead, they did not encounter any Magical Beasts. Even when they did, the beasts were within their capability to defeat. Along the way, they collected a large amount of Herbal Materials and Ores.

Seeing that the few Jade Cauldron Sect Martial Artists following Lin Chen lacked Space Storage Devices, Lin Chen inquired and learned that their storage bags had worn out.

After some hesitation, Lin Chen gave each of them a small-sized space storage belt. The space inside each belt was less than three cubic meters, naturally incomparable to what Lin Chen had given to Zhao Yijing and others.

But space belts are not easily damaged, and the group immediately thanked Lin Chen profusely.

However, Lin Chen made it clear that the belts would need to be returned after they returned to their Sect, but the group still remembered this act of kindness.

These storage belts were concocted by Lin Chen when he was in the Jade Cauldron Sect, originally intended to be sold, but he had kept a few on hand in anticipation of this kind of situation.

Lin Chen’s gesture was actually for a reason. As fellow Sect members, seeing him and his group continuously collecting Spiritual Medicine and various Ores without having their own Storage Artifacts would incite jealousy in their hearts.

Jealousy, envy, and resentment are sometimes more offensive than deep-seated hatred, and Lin Chen did not want the situation where, after reaching Qilin Mountain, these people who had ensured their safety along the way would come to resent him and his group and potentially betray them at a critical moment.

Zhao Yijing and the others hadn’t experienced this sort of thing. Having always been in the Jade Cauldron Sect since childhood, they naturally wouldn’t understand these concerns. However, Lin Chen, who had experienced the highs and lows from being a prodigy to a waste in Desolate Sky City, understood the human heart all too well.

After three days and nights of travel, Lin Chen and his group finally arrived on Qilin Mountain.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, everyone was stunned.

It turned out that Qilin Mountain was, in fact, a palace, the entire peak supported by countless colossal stone pillars that rose hundreds of feet high, with the ceiling adorned with various sculptures.

At the center of the main hall there were many sculptures, lifelike as though they were real.

In the center of the hall stood a stone gate engraved with four big characters: ’Descension Cave Mansion.’"

Only then did everyone realize that this relic was known as the Descension Cave Mansion. What opportunities and inheritance lay inside, they did not know, but no one could resist such a temptation. Many Martial Artists, upon arriving here, couldn’t even bother to look around and simply went through the main hall, past the gate of the Cave Mansion, and into the interior.

The entire mountain peak was where the Cave Mansion lay, and Lin Chen believed that such a significant Cave Mansion must be fraught with danger and that the truly powerful inheritance would not be obtained so easily.

It was well known in the Cultivation World that some great inheritances would have trials, and only those who passed the trials would obtain the true heritage. Lin Chen had already encountered the Spirit of Rules earlier and guessed that she was the Spirit of the Cave Mansion, so he was not in a hurry.

Lin Chen, accompanied by Zhao Yijing and others, observed the surroundings of the grand hall, but they found nothing; they could only genuinely admire the construction of the Cave Mansion.

The architecture of this Cave Mansion was truly magnificent, seeming to rival even the Spirit Martial Pavilion within the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Whoosh—

Just as everyone was about to leave without any discoveries, a white shadow suddenly appeared before them.

"Who!?"

The arrival of the woman in white instantly put Zhao Yijing, Xu Lianyu, and the others on alert.

Seeing her, Lin Chen let out a smile on his lips.

Because it was the Spirit of Rules he had met before, it turned out he was right in his guess—she was indeed the Spirit of Rules of the Stone Pillar Plaza and also the Spirit of the Cave Mansion.
