Chapter 1107

Zi Chen was still one step away from the stone table and two steps away from the stone token. However, as long as he took this step, he would be able to reach out and grab the token.

He stood in the center of the stone table and ignored the six extraordinary weapons on both sides. Since he had guessed the use of the token, he would naturally take it first.

In fact, Zi Chen's worries were completely unnecessary. Regardless of whether it was the devil ape or the others, they would not be able to reach this point in a short amount of time.

In this world, only those with perfect elemental energy could reach this point in one try.

Although this was the last step, it was also the most difficult step. Within Zi Chen's Abdomen, layers of flames had already appeared on the surface of his elemental core. This was a sign that his entire elemental core was about to be ignited.

If Zi Chen meditated here for eight to ten days, three months, or two months, he would naturally be confident that he would be able to take this step easily. However, although he had a few hours now, he did not have the time for eight to ten days.

Under the pressure of the flames and the large hall, Zi Chen could not use the elemental energy in his body. As for techniques, he could not use them at all. Right now, he was just like an ordinary person.

Zi Chen did not move, but no one urged him. This was because everyone knew how dangerous this last step was.

The devil ape's face was full of worry. He advised, "If you really can't do it, then forget it. Rest for a while more. I don't want to see your entire body catch fire the moment you take a step."

This sounded like a joke, but it was also the truth. The reason they did not continue forward was because they had sensed their own limits and were afraid that their bodies would catch fire the next moment.

However, Zi Chen had already reached his limit previously. Right now, he was already putting his life on the line.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Zi Chen said. His voice was rough and hoarse.

Under everyone's attention, Zi Chen slowly stood up and took a step forward. As he lifted his foot, his elemental core was ignited. As soon as his foot landed, flames started to burn on his body.

Upon seeing Zi Chen's body on fire, everyone exclaimed. This was because this time, Zi Chen was being ignited and not enveloped by the flames of life.

However, it was precisely because of his experience of being burned by fire that Zi Chen remained calm even though his body was on fire.

He was so calm that it was as if the one burning was someone else. As a result, he took a step forward, and a second step naturally followed. It was simple and natural. At the same time, he leaned over and reached out to touch the black command medallion. Then, he exerted force and grabbed it.

At this moment, the Origin Energy in his body was utterly unable to be mobilized, and the command token was unable to recognize him as its owner after he grabbed it, so he was naturally unable to break free of the pressure here.

However, Zi Chen acted as if he hadn't considered this problem at all. His expression was as calm as ever, and he didn't even frown in the face of the flames. The instant he gripped the command medallion, a surge of Origin Power rushed out from his body and landed on the medallion, which then recognized it as its owner.

The process of Master Recognition was very simple, so simple that it only took an instant. After Master Recognition, the pressure on his body dissipated, and so did the flames that ignited his body.

In the entire hall, the pressure on everyone was relieved.

They knew that Zi Chen had succeeded. The hall had recognized him as its master, and their expressions became extremely complicated.

The Demonic Ape transformed into a streak of black light, then swept up the six black weapons on the stone table as quickly as it could. Everyone sighed, but they had already discussed this beforehand, so they couldn't criticize the Demonic Ape at this moment.

Zi Chen gripped the command medallion tightly and sat down cross-legged. It had to be said that the moment he took that step forward and grasped the command medallion, his body had already been burned by the flames.

The Demonic Ape wielded the black staff and stood guard beside Zi Chen. Immediately afterwards, everyone felt a cold breeze pass by. Zhang Haotian had already appeared beside Zi Chen.

Zi Chen was injured, and with the Demonic Ape and Zhang Haotian present, no one dared to fight over the command medallion, not to mention Lv Peng and the others.

However, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Because of this hall, the Boundless Sect would probably be able to cultivate even more experts with pure Origin Power.

"Your Highness, Zi Chen succeeded." When he saw that all of the restrictions had disappeared, a trace of excitement appeared in the middle-aged Demon's eyes.

"Mhm." The Princess nodded, her voice trembling.

Now, all they could do was wait.

Zi Chen's injuries weren't light, but in a situation where there was no pressure, Zi Chen's recovery ability naturally increased, and his injuries rapidly healed.

During this time, the others glanced around the hall and discovered that it was extremely empty. Apart from the pillars, there was nothing else.

Of course, there were also two black stone shelves and a stone table, but no one was shameless enough to say that they wanted to take those things away.

They gazed curiously at the hall, then began to quietly discuss the hall's effects.

A moment later, Zi Chen opened his eyes. His injuries had completely healed. When he saw the people around him, he nodded and stood up.

When they saw that Zi Chen had stood up, everyone came forward to inquire about his well-being and whether or not he was injured. When he saw the desire in their eyes, Zi Chen knew that they weren't concerned about his injuries.

He smiled and replied that he was fine. Then, he took out the command medallion and sensed it again.

"Sect Master Zi Chen, this command medallion controls this hall. What are its effects?" one of them asked.

Zi Chen learned about the command medallion's effects in the shortest time possible. At the same time, he also learned about the hall's function.

With the injection of a strand of elemental energy, the command medallion began to glow. Then, the entire hall began to rumble.

In the empty hall, there seemed to be a mechanism on the ground as cracks appeared. Then, black stone walls appeared from the cracks, blocking everyone's path.

The rumbling continued as stone walls appeared in all directions of the hall. From there, the entire hall was divided into small spaces.

Everyone stared at this scene with their mouths agape. In their hearts, they were even more certain of the hall's main effect.

Following the disappearance of the rumbling sound, the previously spacious hall now seemed extremely small. Through Zi Chen's perception, there were now ninety-nine additional rooms in the hall.

The 44 rooms divided the pressure in the hall into 65 major levels and 44 minor levels.

It could be said that the pressure in each room was different, but the difference was not very big. However, from the first to the tenth room, the difference in pressure was almost double.

This was something that Zi Chen had risked his life to obtain, so it naturally belonged to him. He could enjoy everyone's jealous gazes and compliments without any guilt.

Zi Chen was very satisfied with this palace, extremely satisfied. With this palace, his perfect Yuan Li would be able to go one step further. Correspondingly, the Yuan Li of the Devil Ape and the others would also be able to go one step further.

"It can even be divided. It's not a problem for 65 people to stay in each room. This is indeed a good thing."

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master Zi Chen. You've obtained another great treasure."

Everyone congratulated him. Zi Chen was in a good mood and nodded in response.

Beside Zi Chen, Zhang Haotian and the others couldn't feel happy because this palace was too precious. It was precious to the point that it could allow a power to rise up. Not only was it useful to individuals, it was even more useful to a power.

They glanced at the Princess, who had yet to enter. Her expression was calm, but she had been paying attention to Zi Chen the entire time. They naturally knew what she was thinking.

"Everyone, are you going to the second floor, or are you going to cultivate here?"

When he saw that everyone was unwilling to leave, Zi Chen chuckled. "There are still opportunities on the second floor. If you're late, you'll miss them. As for here, once we return to the Boundless Sect, you can go into seclusion at any time."

When everyone heard this, they smiled and nodded, indicating that they would talk about it when they returned.

Afterwards, the group of people headed outside.

But just as they reached the door, they were blocked by two people. It was the Princess and the middle-aged Demon.

The Princess blocked Zi Chen and stretched out her hand. "Give it to me."

"Give what?" Zi Chen looked at her, confused.

"The hall's medallion." The Princess pointed at the hall.

Zi Chen stared at the Princess intently for a full three seconds. During this time, his expression slowly changed. Even though Zi Chen did not say anything, his expression said it all.

She was either calling him an idiot, a madman, or an idiot who had forgotten to take his medicine.

But no matter what her expression was, Zi Chen did not curse her. Instead, he said seriously, "I'm not giving it to you. It's mine."

Indeed, this was Zi Chen's. He had risked his life for it. At this moment, it wasn't just Zi Chen who thought this. Everyone else thought the same. In fact, they all believed that the Princess was being unreasonable.

But what they did not understand was that even though the Demons had the advantage in numbers, in front of Zi Chen, they were not unreasonable bargaining chips.

The princess didn't care about the expressions of the surrounding people. Instead, she looked at Zi Chen and faintly smiled. Then, she said in an extremely serious tone, "I know that in your heart, you definitely think that I am being unreasonable, or that I am an idiot or a madman. However, what I want to tell you is that this thing is indeed mine."

Zi Chen stared at her, his expression growing more and more strange. He wondered if she had really forgotten to take her medicine. But why hadn't this guy reminded her?

Indeed, a moment later, the Demon Sovereign next to her spoke, but not to remind the Princess to take her medicine. Instead, he looked at Zi Chen and said, "Sect Master Zi Chen, this thing really is ours. If you don't believe me, you can ask your friends."

Zi Chen turned to look at the Demon Ape.

The middle-aged Demon said, "Oh, I didn't say it clearly, so your friends might not know. But you can ask this brother here. It should be Zhang Haotian, Brother Haotian, right?"

Zhang Haotian wanted to curse. What Brother Haotian? You want to steal my things, but you call me Brother Haotian?

"What's going on here?" Zi Chen asked Zhang Haotian in confusion.

Zhang Haotian raised his head and found that everyone was looking at him. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. After all, there were many factions that were helping Zi Chen. If he made a promise to each of them, then the Boundless Sect would have nothing to do with it.

But everyone was looking at him. Under these circumstances, he had to say something. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I promised her that I would help her once."

Zi Chen looked at Zhang Haotian with a strange expression. He glanced at the Princess, then at Zhang Haotian.

After knowing Zhang Haotian for so many years, he believed that he understood Zhang Haotian very well. He knew that Zhang Haotian was not this kind of person, but under these circumstances, he naturally couldn't get to the bottom of it, even though his heart was already burning with curiosity. As such, he asked, "Are you serious?"

Zhang Haotian took a deep breath and said, "Of course, this is a promise."

Zi Chen nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, he patted Zhang Haotian's shoulder and took out the black token without hesitation.
