Chapter 881

Looking at the world in front of him, Zi Chen was completely dumbfounded. The Xiantian realm cultivators who had just rushed in also stopped in the air after rushing out for hundreds of meters, staring blankly ahead.

Behind them, more Xiantian realm cultivators rushed into the world in the ninth layer like arrows, but when they arrived, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.

In front of him, there were thousands of golden light spots floating in the air, each of them representing a type of innate skill. There were at least ten thousand of them, and there were all kinds of innate skill inheritances on the ground. There were stone walls, mountain peaks, stone towers, and so on.

"How can this be?"

Looking ahead, everyone was stunned on the spot. The leaders of the several forces even widened their eyes and looked around with astonishment.

The others were the same. They released all their spiritual senses to sense everything around them, but the world in front of them was different from the world in their imagination. The real world in front of them was empty.

It was completely empty.

Not to mention inheritances, even the light spots of Xiantian techniques couldn't be seen. Mountain peaks, stone pagodas, stone walls, they were all illusions. The entire world was empty, and there wasn't even a fly, mosquito, or flower. It was empty and desolate.

"How can it be empty? Where's the stuff?"

The first to be unable to bear it were the leaders of the several forces. They had each paid a thousand drops of high-grade yuan liquid for this.

For them, although the yuan liquid was within their acceptable range, they absolutely couldn't bear the fact that it was a waste. Moreover, it was a thousand drops of high-grade yuan liquid. No one really didn't put it in their eyes.

"Where's the stuff?" They couldn't accept this fact and turned to look at Zi Chen.

"What are you looking at me for? Don't tell me I secretly took it away?" Zi Chen said coldly.

Zi Chen didn't have any other thoughts about the world in the ninth layer. First, the seal here was indeed difficult to break. Second, because everyone was too focused on the ninth layer, they were staring at Zi Chen and spreading their spiritual senses around him. Zi Chen had no chance.

Naturally, the stuff couldn't have been taken by Zi Chen. Everyone could bear witness to this. Such a situation could only mean that there was nothing here.

But why was the world in the ninth layer empty? No one could figure it out.

"Damn it." The leaders of the various forces were flustered and exasperated.

Nine was the limit. Since this place was empty, it meant that they had reached the end of their trip to the underground world. It was time for them to return. However, their gains this time weren't as great as they had expected.

"Empty? That shouldn't be the case. Could it be an illusion? As long as we break the illusion, the thing will come out."

Tyrant walked into the ninth level with a look of unwillingness on his face. That was because Tyrant wasn't satisfied with his harvest either.

Zi Chen and the others also entered, frowning as they surveyed their surroundings. Only Su Mengyao's bright and gentle eyes flashed, as if she was deducing something.

Hearing Monk's words, everyone felt that it made sense. Thus, the group of Xiantian realm martial artists began to bombard the surroundings. All kinds of energy techniques appeared, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

However, reality proved that this place was indeed empty. There was no such thing as an illusion, and all of the attacks naturally dissipated.

"Young Master, there's something up ahead." Suddenly, a voice came from afar.

"Another tall stone door has been discovered ahead. It seems to be a passageway." Soon after, all sorts of voices could be heard.

Surprise appeared on the faces of the several leaders. In a flash, they flew into the distance. After flying for dozens of miles, they saw the only thing in the world of the ninth level.

It was a tall stone door, at least several hundred meters high. Moreover, it was only an empty stone door, and there was no building behind it.

The door frame of the stone door was engraved with many fine runes. These runes were simple and unadorned. The runes spread along the door frame to the top of the stone door, forming a perfect restriction.

The stone door itself was a kind of restriction, but the strange thing was, where did this stone door lead to? During this time, they had already circled to the back of the stone door, but there wasn't any restriction behind it. It was just like an ordinary stone door.

"Look over there!"

A cry of surprise successfully attracted everyone's attention. As they raised their heads, they saw that there were grooves on top of the stone door.

These grooves were as big as a fist, and seemed to be used to place something. There were a total of six grooves.

The moment they saw the grooves, the five leaders' eyes lit up. Then, all five of them, including the sword ninja, looked at Zi Chen at the same time.

Zi Chen's indifferent eyes fell on the six of them. He was in a state of alert, in case they suddenly launched a sneak attack.

Golden Flame smiled again, "Brother Zi Chen, it seems like we have to work together again."

Huo Si also smiled, "That's right, I didn't expect it to be like this."

The other people's expressions also relaxed, and more or less, there were smiles on their faces.

Zi Chen snorted coldly, "Didn't you say that I took the item?"

"Brother Zi Chen, you misunderstood us. I was just asking why there was no item. Perhaps my tone was a bit rushed, which caused brother Zi Chen to misunderstand. But now, I'm sure that the item is behind this stone door." Tu Luo smiled.

"Behind the stone door? Are you sure?" Zi Chen looked at Tu Luo.

Tu Luo pointed at the stone door and said, "This stone door looks empty, but there's actually a world behind it. Once this stone door is opened, it will lead to another world. So, I'm sure that the good stuff is behind this stone door."

Tu Luo smiled, and said, "So, we need to work together to open this stone door."

Above the world, the two old men nodded in satisfaction. One of them said, "That's right, quickly open this door. Your mission is already half complete."

"The other half will be completed by Zi Chen. But from the looks of it, the chances of success are still quite high."

Zi Chen didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Tu Luo and frowned.

Golden Flame said, "Brother Zi Chen, let's just let the previous unhappiness go with the wind. Now, we should work together to open this door and go inside to seize the treasure."

"Seize the treasure? How do we do it?" Zi Chen asked.

"Of course, we'll rely on our strength and luck." Golden Flame gave an ambiguous answer.

Zi Chen couldn't be bothered to bicker with them. In any case, it was based on strength. As for luck, it was bullsh * t. Having luck without strength was equivalent to having no luck.

Looking at this huge door, everyone's expression was extremely excited. Even Zi Chen was extremely tempted. It was obvious that there was definitely something good behind this stone door.

At this moment, among the hundreds of Innate Stage martial artists, only Su Mengyao could look at everything calmly.

Ever since they entered the world of the ninth level, the light in Su Mengyao's eyes never stopped. It was as if she was constantly deducing something. On her calm face, there was a hint of worry.

Zi Chen didn't hesitate. He nodded and said, "Alright, let's work together to break the prohibition."

As they spoke, Zi Chen took out the jade slip and walked towards the five of them. The six of them were ready to break the prohibition of the stone door.

At this moment, the light in Su Mengyao's eyes disappeared. Her face turned pale immediately. There was blood at the corner of her mouth. She shouted, "Wait!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and turned their heads one after another.

"Mengyao, what happened to you?"

Looking at Su Mengyao's face and the blood at the corner of her mouth, Zi Chen's expression changed. He flashed in front of her.

Wang Xian 'er and Lin Xue had already supported Su Mengyao. Zi Chen wiped away the blood at the corner of Su Mengyao's mouth. She said weakly, "The stone door can't be opened."

"What?" Zi Chen looked at Su Mengyao.

Su Mengyao didn't suppress her voice. Everyone heard it. They looked at Su Mengyao with hostility. Obviously, many of them thought that she didn't have good intentions.

The few leaders were also skeptical. They stared at Su Mengyao. They weren't sure if this beautiful woman was pretending to be weak or if she really suffered from some kind of backlash.

"This stone door can't be opened. It's dangerous," Su Mengyao said again.

"Why? What's dangerous?" Before Zi Chen could ask, an Innate Stage martial artist beside him asked.

Su Mengyao shook her head and said, "I don't know. I can't deduce it."

"You don't know the danger and still won't open the stone door. You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" The Innate Stage martial artist mocked.

Zi Chen stared at him fiercely. The latter immediately shut up. Zi Chen looked at Su Mengyao again.

Su Mengyao said, "Although I can't deduce everything, I can deduce a rough idea. This place is probably targeting you."

"Targeting me?" Zi Chen was stunned. He didn't know anyone here. Who would target him?

Moreover, it was such a big move.

Su Mengyao shook her head again and said, "I can't deduce everything, but I'm sure it's targeting you. This place is not good for you. Zi Chen, you don't trust me."

Zi Chen looked into Su Mengyao's eyes and nodded seriously, "I trust you. Of course I trust you. What do you want me to do?"

"Let's go. Let's go now," Su Mengyao said firmly.

"Okay." Zi Chen nodded. Without another word, he pulled Su Mengyao and was about to leave.

However, while Zi Chen was willing to leave, the others were obviously unwilling. Rays of light flashed as they blocked Zi Chen's path.

"Zi Chen, what should we do if you leave just like that?"

"Brother Zi Chen, what you're doing is too disrespectful. Could it be that you want to leave all of us here to dry?"

Golden Flame and the others spoke, their voices full of dissatisfaction.

Su Mengyao said, "Zi Chen, don't take the jade piece. Give it to them."

As soon as she said that, everyone's expression changed. Obviously, it wasn't that they didn't want to open the stone door, but that there was real danger. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given the jade piece away.

Zi Chen didn't hesitate. He took out the jade piece and threw it to the sword ninja. The sword ninja caught it subconsciously and held it tightly in his hand.

"Let's go."

Zi Chen didn't look at the jade piece anymore. He left with the others.

Longhu, Tyrant, and the others all left with Zi Chen. Lei Ming also followed without hesitation. Xia Xin was stunned for a moment, but he also left.

Yan Laosan and Wu Yu didn't leave. Their thoughts were the same as the others.

Above the world, the expressions of the two old men who had been calm and composed immediately changed when they saw this scene.

"Oh no, someone knows Innate Divination. I underestimated this girl."
