CHAPTER 1261: CHAPTER 1190: WEI XUAN, THE IMMORTAL WOLF KING

"Unexpectedly, Jiang was chosen by the First Treasure Tomb."

"He’s actually the chosen one for the First Treasure Tomb!"

Outside the First Treasure Tomb.

After being astonished for a moment, Lin Tong finally let out a long sigh and looked at the majestic First Treasure Tomb, speaking aloud.

As he spoke, a special expression flickered in his eyes.

"What a pity, what a pity."

"Missed out on possibly even better treasures."

"I thought none of us would be the chosen ones, that we’d have to wait for those who enter later to get the chance. Unexpectedly, Jiang went in so easily..."

The other three Ninth-Level Divine Masters stood nearby, sighed regretfully, and spoke with a tinged of sourness in their voices, clearly envious and extremely jealous of Ye Chen.

Finally.

Only Tian Lan Yan remained somewhat composed.

Though she was surprised that this slightly plump middle-aged First-Level Divine Master, Jiang Li, was chosen by the First Treasure Tomb.

However, Tian Lan Yan had a carefree personality.

She knew that some opportunities were not hers to have, and there was no need to force it.

"Just like in the Nine Bends Demon Realm, where the treasures were equally invaluable, yet the most precious ones were taken by Ye Chen."

"This Jiang, though not as impressive as Ye Chen, has his own mysterious aspects."

Tian Lan Yan murmured silently in her heart.

After contemplating for a while, Tian Lan Yan looked at Lin Tong and the others, saying, "Since this is the final area of this mysterious place, and since the only chance here—the First Treasure Tomb—already has Jiang as the chosen one, there’s no point in us lingering in this mysterious place anymore."

"I wonder how we can leave this mysterious place."

"Indeed, how do we leave?" As Tian Lan Yan spoke, the other three Ninth-Level Divine Masters raised their heads to look at various boundaries of the First Treasure Tomb, searching for an exit.

Lin Tong said from the side, "According to the rules of many treasure places in the abyss, if we’ve completed the challenge or are not qualified to continue deeper, generally we’ll be automatically ejected by the place back to the entrance."

"Let’s wait. Soon, we’ll probably be sent out by the special force of this place."

Upon hearing this, Tian Lan Yan and the others nodded in agreement, quietly waiting.

Sure enough, not long after.

A special transmission power appeared in the domain of the First Treasure Tomb.

This force wrapped Tian Lan Yan, Lin Tong, and the three Ninth-Level Divine Masters, and instantly transported all five out.

The six-member Divine Master Squad.

Only Ye Chen remained, still inside this mysterious place, within the First Treasure Tomb!

Having exited the mysterious place, Tian Lan Yan, Lin Tong, and the others reappeared outside the Light Gate, and following, the five of them exited the Light Gate and returned to the platform beside the sinking river.

"What plans do you have, fellow Daoists?" Lin Tong asked Tian Lan Yan and the others.

Tian Lan Yan looked at the endlessly flowing sinking river nearby, saying, "I plan to continue exploring the abyss. Since our team adventure has ended, let’s part ways here, fellow Daoists."

After speaking, Tian Lan Yan bade Lin Tong and the others farewell with a cupped fist salute, and without hesitation, flew directly into the sinking river, heading further down the abyss along the flow.

Evidently, Tian Lan Yan had her own goals in the abyss. After finishing her journey in the mysterious place, she began another adventure.

The other three Ninth-Level Divine Masters were somewhat reluctant to leave this mysterious place, hesitating as they contemplated.

Finally, one of them said, "Let’s go. We’ve already gained what benefits we could from here. What’s not ours, there’s no use forcing."

"Let’s go."

"Yes, let’s leave, let’s leave."

All three had the intention to depart.

"What about you, Lin?" Before the three flew into the sinking river, they asked Lin Tong.

Lin Tong smiled, "I’ll be leaving shortly."

Seeing Lin Tong’s response, the three didn’t say more and directly flew into the sinking river, disappearing instantly.

Now, only Lin Tong remained on the high platform outside the exit of the mysterious place.

However, Lin Tong didn’t leave immediately as he had claimed.

He turned back to look into the depths of the cave in the mysterious place, then seeming to firm his resolve, directly pulled out a golden Sound Transmission Divine Talisman, and recorded some information about the mysterious place into the talisman.

This information specifically mentioned phrases like "First Treasure Tomb, very likely has Star Lord Level treasures, entered early by someone named Jiang Li, awaiting instructions..."

From the looks of it, Lin Tong seemed to be informing someone about the situation here!

Boom!

After recording this information, Lin Tong touched the talisman lightly, and the golden Sound Transmission Divine Talisman immediately transformed into a streak of Divine Light, swiftly flying towards the upper reaches of the abyss.

If someone could spot the direction of the talisman’s flight, they’d surely find it was heading towards the headquarters of Star Lord Qian Lin’s base camp!

And after finishing the transmission, Lin Tong didn’t leave but remained on the platform, as if waiting for something.

...

Ye Chen was unaware of what was happening outside.

At this moment, Ye Chen didn’t even have the energy to care about these matters.

Because, once he was transported into the First Treasure Tomb, Ye Chen discovered that everything was completely different from what he had imagined.

According to what Ye Chen thought, as a fated person, he should have, after entering the First Treasure Tomb, been able to grab treasures just like the previous thousands of densely packed graves.

After all, the giant stele outside the First Treasure Tomb clearly stated that there were more precious treasures inside, reserved for those with fate.

However, once inside the First Treasure Tomb, the situation was completely different.

Ye Chen was directly transmitted into an immensely large secret chamber by a beam of transporting light. This chamber indeed appeared to resemble the inside of a Treasure Tomb, with a Treasure Coffin inside.

However, before Ye Chen could open the coffin to claim treasures, the lid of the Treasure Coffin was directly thrown open. It was as if there was a monster space within the coffin, continuously spewing monsters that charged directly towards Ye Chen to kill him.

No treasures in the First Treasure Tomb? Instead, monsters seeking his life?

Ye Chen found it extremely strange.

Originally, when the Sect Master Command on his body reacted in the First Treasure Tomb, Ye Chen thought this place was related to the Primordial Spirit Sect and would provide him with numerous benefits. Little did he expect, the safety here was even less than in the regions of the thousands of previous Treasure Tombs.

Boom!

At this moment, Ye Chen had no time to think further.

The monsters charging at him were directly at the Peak Lord level.

Of course, at this level, Ye Chen was not afraid at all. Although, based on his strength alone, Ye Chen could not directly confront Peak Lord-level monsters, he had numerous treasures on him, making dealing with them no trouble at all.

Ye Chen couldn’t resist the urge to use the treasures he had just obtained from those Treasure Tombs to have a good fight with these monsters.

But what astonished Ye Chen was this—

Inside this First Treasure Tomb, the treasures he had acquired earlier seemed to be sealed somehow, completely unusable!

If it were someone else, they might have been flustered by such a sudden change.

However, the treasures on Ye Chen were countless. Even without using the treasures from those thousands of Treasure Tombs, Ye Chen had endless treasures.

Boom!

Ye Chen directly took out a Divine Tower treasure from the Refining God Chart and used it to suppress the swarming monsters!

Boom boom!

The Divine Tower smashed the Peak Lord-level monsters, turning them to ashes and into the Void!

Yet, within that Treasure Coffin—no, it should not be called the Treasure Coffin, but rather the Demon Coffin.

From inside the Demon Coffin, monsters continued to emerge, reaching even the Cosmic Emperor level.

Ye Chen directly engaged in a fierce battle with the Cosmic Emperor-level monsters!

Initially, it was just one Cosmic Emperor-level monster, the weakest First Star Tribulation Cosmic Emperor-level monster.

But as Ye Chen dispatched these monsters with thunderous methods, more and more terrifying monsters emerged from the Demon Coffin, until eventually, monsters at the Third Star Tribulation Cosmic Emperor and even Peak Cosmic Emperor levels appeared!

Using ordinary treasures was no longer effective, so Ye Chen directly took out the Ancient Origin Ice Bead and froze all the monsters in an instant.

After freezing the monsters, as Ye Chen was about to investigate the Demon Coffin to understand its nature—

From the Demon Coffin, even Star Lord-level monsters emerged!

This caused Ye Chen’s face to change.

What exactly was this First Treasure Tomb?

Was it seeking fated individuals, or was it trying to trick people?

Seeing a Star Lord-level monster already upon him, Ye Chen hesitated no more and directly took out the Ruyi Qiankun Rod, a Star Lord-level treasure, and began battling with the monster.

However, almost instantly, Ye Chen realized it wasn’t enough. His own strength was still only at the Divine Master level, and he hadn’t had time to cultivate the Ruyi Qiankun Rod to a higher degree. His realm and strength couldn’t fully drive this Divine Object.

Even though Ye Chen felt the Ruyi Qiankun Rod was superior to the Star Lord-level monster, without direct control from its master, the Ruyi Qiankun Rod fell into a disadvantage during the struggle.

Defeat seemed only a few breaths away.

If defeated, this treasure might be taken by that monster; Ye Chen gritted his teeth and, disregarding what the First Treasure Tomb was about, instantly retracted the Ruyi Qiankun Rod while simultaneously using the transformed Ancient Origin Ice Bead to freeze the monster for a moment. Then, Ye Chen directly used the Great Divine Power "Spatial Blink" from the Second Plane of the Tai Yu Chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture to instantly blink out of this secret chamber.

Ye Chen disappeared from the secret chamber and entered the special space of Spatial Blink!

The moment Ye Chen vanished—

A strange figure appeared in this secret chamber.

This figure seemed to sense Ye Chen’s disappearance and was utterly shocked.

"Disappeared?"

"How could a Divine Master vanish before me?"

"No wonder he possesses the Sect Master Command!"

The figure murmured to himself.

However, soon, the figure realized there was no time to delay. He couldn’t afford to be shocked anymore. He seemed to understand the profound space mysteries involved in this disappearance, and he directly shouted towards the endless void: "New Sect Master, I am the Branch Master of the Skywolf Sub-sect of the Primordial Spirit Sect—Immortal Wolf King Wei Xuan. It was just a test of the new Sect Master’s abilities earlier. I apologize for any offense. Please show yourself!"

Boom!

This voice rapidly spread outwards, instantly enveloping the entire area of the First Treasure Tomb!
