The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1299 Whoever snatches it, keeps it!

There was light inside the cave, but it still appeared quite dark.

This is a huge circular space, with a diameter of over a kilometer. At the very center is a huge cylindrical pit, dark and bottomless.

Lin Chen stood at the edge of the deep pit, looking around.

The rock walls on all four sides were carved out into caves about three meters high. The entrances to a few caves were open, but most of the cave entrances were blocked by a black barrier with runes flashing on it, like some kind of... seal.
There are many of these caves, at least thousands, densely packed, covering the entire rock face.

What is sealed inside these caves?

Guo Jia bowed and cupped his hands towards the air, saying, "My lord, the person has been brought."

An old, deep male voice rang out in the cave: "Since he's here, let him enter the formation and begin the ceremony."

"Yes, my lord!"

Lin Chen looked around but couldn't find where the sound was coming from. However, his intuition told him that it must have come from one of the thousands of caves.

Do immortals live in caves?
With so many caves here, could it be that an immortal lives in each one?
"Go down to the bottom, and then the ascension ceremony will begin. Remember to relax and don't resist. You may experience some hallucinations during the process, but just ignore them."

Now that things had come to this, Lin Chen had no choice but to leap down cleanly and decisively.

At that moment, Lin Chen felt a resolve to go to hell.

Even if there's a mountain of knives and hell below, at least let me walk ahead of Jiaxue!
The cave wasn't very deep, only about a hundred meters deep. After Lin Chen stepped onto the ground, the surrounding area lit up with the light of an array.

Lin Chen used the light of the array to survey his surroundings. The bottom and walls of this cylindrical cave were covered with array runes, and streams of light flowed rapidly along the lines of the runes, like flowing electricity, which looked very mysterious.

Guo Jia stood at the edge of the cave entrance above and said loudly, "Your body is surrounded by the formation of the Ascension Ritual. It can rapidly enhance your strength, allowing you to reach the Great Perfection of the Void Realm, and then ascend to become an immortal."

"Once the formation is activated, you can continue your usual cultivation as usual; you don't need to worry about anything else."

Lin Chen agreed, "Okay!"

As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, the array beneath his feet suddenly lit up brightly, and the runes on the cave walls also lit up completely. An invisible force instantly filled the entire deep cave, sealing it off.

Lin Chen felt a chill run down his spine. Now, even if he wanted to escape, he probably couldn't!

As the formation activated, a massive amount of immortal spiritual energy surged forth, carrying a faint scent of blood.

Lin Chen, however, had no time to worry about anything else and began to circulate his internal energy and begin his cultivation.

As Lin Chen began cultivating, the immortal spiritual energy seemed to have eyes, rushing towards him and pouring into his body.

Yes, he didn't need to absorb it himself; they just forced it in! Lin Chen was greatly surprised. Although this immortal spiritual energy felt somewhat different from normal immortal spiritual energy, its quantity was enormous, and the way it was poured in reminded Lin Chen of the spiritual energy infusion he received after successfully undergoing the tribulation of lightning to advance in rank.

If one ascends to immortality and successfully transcends the tribulation, a large amount of immortal spiritual energy will be poured into the body, replacing all the spiritual energy in the body with immortal spiritual energy, thus ascending to immortality.

This formation has such an effect. If it can also temper the body, does that mean it can really ascend to immortality?

Mystic Island is something special.

Never mind, since I can improve, I'll improve first!

Even if I have to fight harder later, it's still better to be stronger.

Lin Chen began to focus wholeheartedly on his cultivation.

At the same time, there was a sudden commotion in the previously quiet, huge cave.

Behind a black barrier on the cave wall, a figure suddenly appeared. It was a middle-aged woman, but upon closer inspection, the figure was not a physical entity, but a phantom of a primordial spirit!
"This kid's cultivation speed is so fast, he's an excellent training vessel. Boss, let me have him."

Behind the black barrier of another cave, a burly figure appeared, also a phantom of a primordial spirit: "This is a man. What are you doing here? Are you lonely and want to become a man?"

The woman exclaimed in a shrill voice, "Such a cauldron is a once-in-a-millennium find! Even for a man, it's worth it!"

"You want it? Who wouldn't want it? The boss hasn't said anything, so I'm afraid he'll have to get involved himself this time."

"Boss, if you give the word, and you're planning to take the lead yourself, we certainly won't dare to compete with you, since you're our boss."

"Yes, boss, give the order!"

The aged, deep voice that had appeared before spoke again: "I will not step down."

As the aged voice echoed throughout the cave, the entire cave suddenly became noisy.

One after another, figures appeared behind the cave barriers, their eyes gleaming with greed. They began arguing loudly, making the entire cave as noisy as a marketplace.

"Quiet!"

An old, deep voice roared, and all the arguing figures quickly shut their mouths, leaving the cave completely silent.

The aged voice rang out again: "Same rules as always, whoever grabs it first keeps it!"
