Chapter 1114

After stopping Zi Chen, the Spirit Devouring Rat told him what had just happened as quickly as possible.

Looking at the hall in front of him, Zi Chen said, "You mean that this castle is controlled by someone?"

"Although I'm not sure, this is the only explanation that makes sense," the Spirit Devouring Rat said.

"Could it be him?" Zi Chen frowned.

"Who?"

"That young man. You've all seen him before. The last two times I entered the castle, I saw him. Have you seen him?"

The Devil Ape and Zhang Haotian shook their heads.

"He's the master of this world and controls the rules. If there's really someone tampering with this castle, it can only be him."

In this world, the young man was naturally the strongest. Zi Chen's guess was very reasonable.

"But if it's really him, why did he let so many people die?" The Spirit Devouring Rat asked the question in its heart.

"Maybe he was bored," Zi Chen said.

"Bored?" Everyone was puzzled.

Zi Chen explained, "A person has lived alone for countless years. It's inevitable that his temperament will become strange. Perhaps in his opinion, all of this is just for fun."

Killing people for fun. This explanation didn't make sense, but some things couldn't be explained with reason.

"So far, has anyone entered?" Zi Chen asked.

The Spirit Devouring Rat nodded and said, "Yes, someone has already entered the hall."

Zi Chen said, "Since someone has entered, I'll go in and take a look. You guys wait outside in case there's really a sudden change."

Everyone nodded.

Zi Chen's essence, energy, spirit, strength, essence, and mind were all perfect. As long as someone could enter, Zi Chen would naturally be able to enter.

Zi Chen and the others came forward. Wherever they passed, others would make way. During this period of time, many cultivators had died on this part of the road in the castle, but the entire road was still clean and tidy.

As soon as he entered the ancient castle, Zi Chen felt a wave of pressure that targeted his spiritual senses.

It was as if thousands of sharp blades were stabbing into his spiritual senses, making Zi Chen feel uncomfortable.

"Hum."

In his sea of consciousness, his spiritual senses trembled and then formed a tough defensive light shield.

The defensive light shield was inside the Sea of Consciousness and couldn't be seen from the outside. Therefore, in the eyes of the crowd, Zi Chen easily walked through these paths and reached the front of the hall.

Seeing Zi Chen pass through, Devil Ape and the others didn't say anything, nor did they cheer. They just watched quietly.

In the main hall, when the cultivators who were advancing saw Zi Chen, their expressions immediately changed.

"Oh no, Zi Chen is here."

"Hurry up and leave. Hurry up!"

"If we don't leave now, Zi Chen will take it away."

The appearance of Zi Chen had caused a small disturbance among the cultivators in the hall. They deliberately sped up, causing their footsteps to become disorderly.

"Bang."

A cultivator was moving forward when flames suddenly burst out from his body. In the blink of an eye, the flames covered his entire body and he began to scream.

The flames exploded, and the cultivator's body was cut into countless pieces.

"Bang." "Bang."

Immediately after, the second and third cultivators were too excited and didn't adjust their footsteps properly. They were swallowed by the flames and their bodies exploded.

The echoes of the explosions still echoed in the hall. The others all slowed down and focused on the test again.

Before Zi Chen even entered, three people had already died. This was the first time people had died in the hall.

Zi Chen stepped forward. His elemental energy and physical strength were all sealed, and a mysterious force suppressed his spiritual senses.

Everything was as Zi Chen had guessed. The three halls each had their own specialization, which represented power, elemental energy, and spiritual sense.

"Zi Chen, you've already obtained two halls. Why are you still fighting with us for this one?"

A voice sounded from the front. It was a cultivator who spoke with dissatisfaction. He was so excited when Zi Chen entered that he almost died.

Zi Chen asked, "There's a limit to the number of these things. Isn't it based on strength? Who gets who gets who?"

"That's true, but you should be content with what you have. You've already obtained two halls, and now you want to fight with us? Don't you think you're being too greedy?" Another voice sounded.

Zi Chen didn't stop. He continued forward and said mockingly, "Then what are you saying?"

"Go back and don't touch this hall again. Even though we're being a bit too harsh, you can't just take all the good stuff and not leave anything for us."

"That's right. You should know that the Boundless Sect isn't the only one here. You can't not leave anything for us."

When he heard these voices, the smile on Zi Chen's face gradually disappeared. He said indifferently, "What you're saying isn't just a bit harsh, it's extremely harsh. Opportunities in the cultivation world have always been based on strength. Whoever has the strength gets it."

"That's true, but there should be a limit."

"Limit? What do you mean by limit? If I give up, then it's limit. Even if I give up, can you guarantee that you'll be able to reach the stone table?" Zi Chen sneered.

Everyone was stunned, but they couldn't say anything.

Because what Zi Chen said was right. Even if he gave up, they wouldn't be able to reach the stone table.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Zi Chen said mockingly, "You can't reach the stone table, but you want me to give up? You can't get it, but you don't want me to get it. Do you want this hall to disappear on its own? Or do you think that it's better that no one gets it?"

No one said anything. Everyone continued to remain silent.

Zi Chen said again, "If you don't say anything, then it means that you're agreeing. Is that what you're thinking? Or do you think that I can take out the items and let you distribute them as you please? That way, you'll remember me as a favor."

Everyone fell silent again. No matter how shameless they were, they couldn't say this out loud. At most, they could only think about it.

However, some people wanted to agree. They felt that this was a good idea. At most, they'd just owe him a favor.

"Not just anyone can owe me, Zi Chen, a favor. Furthermore, you all already owe me a favor for being able to come here."

Zi Chen said coldly, "Strength is the foundation of everything. Even if I give you the items, can you guarantee that you can take them out alive? Therefore, since you don't have the strength, the best choice is to shut up."

Zi Chen's expression turned increasingly cold as he stepped forward.

Many of the people here had entered early, but they only walked a few dozen steps in the hall before stopping. This was because they had already used all their strength and reached the limit of what their spiritual senses could bear. If they continued, they would die.

Zi Chen withstood the pressure and walked forward step by step, appearing extremely relaxed.

There were less than five people present who could continue forward.

The Perfect Body's spiritual senses weren't weak, but he stopped when he was about ten steps away from the stone table. He was sweating profusely and his mind was weak. He was unable to continue forward.

"I can't take it anymore. I can't take it anymore." The Perfect Body panted heavily as he sat down, announcing his failure.

Zi Chen walked past him and said with a smile, "You happen to have time now. You can take a look at the six weapons."

The Perfect Body's eyes lit up when he heard that. He asked, "You still want to give them to me?"

Zi Chen said, "Give me something of equivalent value in exchange."

At that moment, he was clearly extremely confident in obtaining the hall in front of him.

The Perfect Body had already seen the six ancient armaments. Upon hearing Zi Chen's words, he looked at the six ancient armaments again.

These six ancient armaments were very strange and small.

The first one on the left was a bracelet that flickered with pure light like black jade.

The second was a pair of earrings that were half the size of the bracelet. They were also pure black and shone like black gemstones.

The third item was a black ribbon, but it wasn't tied around the waist. Instead, it was tied to the forehead. It was also black and extraordinary. It was a rare item.

As for the three ancient armaments on the other side, they were also three strange accessories.

However, one could tell from the surface that they couldn't be used to attack. Strictly speaking, they were no longer ancient armaments.

They were accessories used to suppress spiritual senses. They were considered mystical items.

Such mystical items were extremely precious because spiritual senses were the most special kind of power.

In the world, there were at least ten thousand or even a hundred thousand techniques for strength and essence energy. However, there were less than ten thousand techniques that used spiritual senses to activate them.

Something that could suppress and strengthen spiritual senses was something that even large factions couldn't create. It was extremely rare.

Just as the Perfect Body was thinking about which item to ask for, Zi Chen surpassed another person. It was the dragonman.

The latter nodded when he saw Zi Chen. Then, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat cross-legged, no longer moving forward.

Of the three halls, Zi Chen advanced the easiest. This was because he had perfect spiritual senses. As for the spiritual senses test, it was clearly less difficult than the other two.

Following that, Zi Chen surpassed Ape Dragon.

The one walking at the front was actually Monk Ming Xin. However, he was clearly about to reach his limit. Every step he took appeared very difficult.

Behind him, the cultivators who had made Zi Chen stop had long reached their limits. Although they were unwilling, they could only watch helplessly as Zi Chen surpassed Monk Ming Xin and became first.

"Amitabha. From the looks of it, This Penniless Monk isn't fated with this item." Monk Ming Xin pressed his palms together.

Zi Chen returned the gesture. "Thank you for your acknowledgment, Master."

Monk Ming Xin shook his head and smiled.

In Zi Chen's eyes, Monk Ming Xin was clearly more of a benevolent monk than Monk Good and Evil.

Everyone stopped advancing, leaving only Zi Chen. Clearly, this hall belonged to Zi Chen.

It was already in the bag, so Zi Chen should be relieved. However, the truth was that after Zi Chen surpassed Monk Ming Xin, he suddenly felt a sense of pressure. Apart from the pressure, there was also an inexplicable dangerous aura.

This level suppressed spiritual senses. He could extend his spiritual senses. After sensing the inexplicable dangerous aura, he immediately sent a voice transmission to Demon Ape and company, indicating for them to be careful.

Zi Chen's voice transmission was very solemn. Su Mengyao and company looked at each other and began retreating.

Zi Chen began moving forward. Regardless of where the dangerous aura came from, he had to make the hall recognize him as its master.

Although the rest of the journey was stressful, it wasn't difficult for Zi Chen. Soon, he arrived in front of the stone table.
