Chapter 494: Chapter 494 Essence Hall! (Four updates)

"Not ’perhaps,’ but definitely," Little Fairy’s voice rang out.

"Why can you be so certain?" Qin Chen asked, puzzled.

"There is an activation point on this stone pillar."

"Perhaps, when they find the activation point on this pillar, something unexpected will be triggered."

Little Fairy did not answer directly.

Boom!

Just as Qin Chen was about to press further, he suddenly saw the pillar in front of him tremble slightly, emitting a huge sound.

At the same time, streams of strange lights began to spiral around this seemingly ordinary pillar.

In an instant, this seemingly ordinary pillar appeared incredibly mystical.

It captivated all of Qin Chen’s attention.

"Unexpectedly, among those people, there are also those who understand arrays, and they have indeed found the hidden activation point within that pillar," Little Fairy said.

Had they found the activation point?

What, exactly, had been activated?

Qin Chen’s gaze was fixed intently ahead.

Following that slight tremor, the pillar began to radiate extremely mystical fluctuations.

After that, it slowly split in the middle, becoming two sections.

Through the cross-section of the split pillar, Qin Chen could see that the pillar was actually hollow.

Inside, there were mystical array patterns that faintly flickered, although they were somewhat dim.

"They’ve finally opened this activation point!"

Seeing the pillar split, a chubby young man’s face turned excitedly flushed.

"So what should we do next?" another person asked the chubby young man.

"Take out the Qiankun Bag prepared with stone coins," the chubby young man said.

Hearing this, the three extraordinarily mystical youths from the leading factions of the Three-star Sect stood up and each directly took out a Qiankun Bag.

Qin Chen observed these three youths.

These individuals were from the Feiyan Sect, Purple Flame Sect, and Southern Dipper Sect, respectively.

Seeing the aura of these three, Qin Chen could roughly sense that they were likely the strongest representatives and had significant influence in this area from the Three-star Sects.

"Quick! Pour the stone coins in!"

the chubby young man commanded.

Splashing sounds!

Stone coins, pouring in like they were free, were dumped into the gap of the broken pillar.

From afar, it appeared like three rivers of Elemental Power.

The capacity of the broken pillar’s cross-section seemed limited.

But at this moment, it was like a gigantic creature gulping down, with so many stone coins being poured into it, showing no sign of filling up.

"What are they doing?"

Mon Tianran was baffled, not understanding.

Boom, boom, boom!

However, as these stone coins were poured in, the location of the pillar’s cross-section began to tremble slightly.

It was as if some gigantic monster was about to burst out from the ground.

"Is something under the cross-section of the broken pillar about to be activated?"

A spark of keenness flashed in Qin Chen’s eyes.

Qin Chen estimated that the stone coins poured into that broken pillar’s cross-section were at least more than a million, if not more.

What, exactly, needed so many stone coins to be activated?

Boom!

Almost just as Mon Tianran finished speaking, the cross-section of the pillar suddenly sank.

Following that, an ancient hall rose from beneath the ground.

Above the hall, light shone incomparably dazzling, as if a slow-rising sun.

At the same time, an ancient and vast fluctuation spread out.

That fluctuation swept around like a tidal wave, causing even Qin Chen, who was far away, to involuntarily hold his breath.

Boom!

The hall continued to rise, and with a loud sound spreading, the full view of the hall was completely revealed to Qin Chen.

This hall, hundreds of feet tall and showing signs of age, still could not conceal its majestic aura.

And on the central plaque above, there were three large characters, dancing like dragons and phoenixes.

Essence Hall!

Thud!

Suddenly, the grand doors of the hall emitted a muffled sound.

Immediately afterward, the massive doors that spanned several dozen feet, slowly opened by themselves.

They revealed a pitch-black entrance, like the mouth of a giant beast, seemingly capable of swallowing everything, exuding a hint of mystique.

Simultaneously, a rich aroma of Heaven and Earth Essence emanated from within the hall, permeating the surroundings.

This scent, Qin Chen found, was very familiar.

"It’s the scent of the Essence Pearls!"

Qin Chen’s eyes hardened.

"This Essence Hall has been set with an Array."

"Due to the lack of energy supply for many years, the Array protecting this Essence Hall had automatically concealed it beneath the ground."

"As I mentioned just now, that stone pillar was the activation point."

"What was activated was the Array protecting this Essence Hall."

"Since they poured so many stone coins into the activation point just now, it allowed the Array protecting the Essence Hall to once again receive an energy supply."

"Therefore, upon the Array’s restart, the Essence Hall has now reappeared."

Seeing the Essence Pearls revealed, Little Fairy finally spoke up, explaining the causes and effects.

"So, you mean those Essence Pearls were somehow flown out from inside this Essence Hall?" Qin Chen asked.

"Inside this Essence Hall, there’s also an Array, and, according to my guess, the Array inside this Essence Hall is a Trial Array."

"Because, inside this Essence Hall, I’ve sensed the presence of the Array Flag specializing in space, suggesting that the Essence Hall itself likely forms its own separate world."

"Many Great Sects utilize space-oriented Array Flags to set up such world-forming Trial Arrays, allowing a substantial number of disciples to enter simultaneously."

Little Fairy briefly explained.

"How is that related to the flying out of the Essence Pearls?" Qin Chen asked.

"Since it’s a Trial Array, there must be rewards."

"The name of this hall is Essence Hall, so it’s very likely that the rewards from the Trial Array are Essence Pearls."

"Moreover, I believe you can also sense the strong aroma of the Essence Pearls emanating from this Essence Hall."

"However, I can sense that the Trial Array is somewhat damaged, so, this might be the reason why Essence Pearls periodically fly out from inside the Essence Hall," Little Fairy said.

Although everything was just Little Fairy’s speculation without solid evidence,

Qin Chen thought it was highly possible.

Setting aside other factors,

Qin Chen could now be sure of one thing.

That was that there definitely existed numerous Essence Pearls inside the Essence Hall.

A single or two Essence Pearls might not mean much to Qin Chen,

but ten or twenty Essence Pearls represented a tremendous resource for him.

At this moment, even Qin Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but heat up with desire.

Thus, it was certain that Qin Chen would try his luck at this Essence Hall...
