Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake. Visible World Energy swirled across its surface. Within the hazy field of vision, at the lake’s edge, four Inner Sect Northern Brilliant Hall Elders stood with somewhat rapid breathing.
Currently, expressions continuously shift across their normally impassive countenances. Now doubt and surprise, now looks of extreme interest.
All this stemmed from Manager Lin’s words…
Thirty metres!
Even Inner Sect Disciples might not dare venture to such depths!
Generally, only Martial Ancestors would descend to such depths. This was also after completing cultivation, exerting their full strength to descend and test their limits.
Yet now, merely an Outer Sect, Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm youth had actually descended to such depths? Could he truly cultivate there?
At this moment, the four Elders ceased slow exploration, directly investigating downward.
Within their shocked consciousness, they finally saw at the position Manager Lin indicated, a silhouette wreathed in Golden Radiance!
*Siii…*
When personally investigating this scene, the four Elders’ expressions immediately displayed looks of shock. Subsequently, without the slightest hesitation, they directly withdrew their probe, fearing even the slightest fluctuation might disturb that person.
“Indeed… at thirty metres!”
After a long moment, amidst countless uncomprehending gazes, one Elder drew a deep breath and murmured softly.
Hearing this voice, countless faces immediately became stunned. Subsequently, pairs of eyes, all carrying disbelief, gazed toward the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake.
Regarding the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake’s reputation, countless Brilliant Sky Sacred Land Disciples both loved and hated it.
What they loved was the Hundredth Refined Golden Radiance within, capable of enabling rapid advancement. What they hated was the excessively terrifying pressure within the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake. Even knowing the deeper regions offered greater benefits, constrained by that pressure, only few could enter below twenty metres!
Yet now, some Outer Sect Disciple had actually penetrated to thirty metres!
Were these words not spoken by the Inner Sect Elders who represented a form of authority in their hearts, no one would believe it!
The expressions on the four Northern Brilliant Hall Elders’ faces persisted for over a minute before gradually subsiding.
At this moment, their gazes sweeping toward the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake no longer held their previous indifference, but instead brimmed with peculiarity.
This young man who had killed their Hall Master’s prospective Disciple truly possessed some capability.
…
Deep beneath the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake, a mass of Golden Radiance swirled, appearing extremely dazzling.
Within that dazzling Golden Radiance, one could vaguely discern a cross-legged seated silhouette. Around him, viscous Hundredth Refined Golden Radiance flowed like water streams, continuously pouring into his body.
At the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake’s thirty-metre position, Qin Yichen had already persisted for a full day.
Throughout this day, the pressure emanating from all directions grew increasingly immense. That appearance resembled the entire Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake’s pressure converging toward this direction. That continuously increasing trend inspired fear.
Facing this increasingly terrifying pressure, even with his formidable Physique plus Yuan Energy protection, Qin Yichen still found it somewhat taxing.
Although currently no major problems existed, as pressure increased, it would inevitably reach a terrifying degree where even he could no longer persist.
Reaching this point, Qin Yichen finally clearly understood just how difficult cultivating within the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake truly was.
However, beneath this terrifying pressure, throughout the day Qin Yichen had also reaped considerable harvests. As Hundredth Refined Golden Radiance continuously poured in, he could sense his physical body being continuously refined. This refinement, from inside out, even his Yuan Energy, seemed to be birthing far greater power.
As this cultivation continued, the Yuan Energy flowing through Qin Yichen’s meridians also grew increasingly powerful and vast, like surging river water, roaring past. A powerful sense of strength filled his limbs and bones.
Qin Yichen could sense that this brief day of cultivation surpassed months of ordinary cultivation!
Although this comparison represented a rather terrifying figure, it was not entirely incomprehensible. After all, Hundredth Refined Golden Radiance was extremely pure. A tiny wisp equaled an ordinary person’s day of normal cultivation results.
Throughout this day, from the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake, several more silhouettes emerged, essentially stumbling out. Currently, those still remaining inside numbered merely five.
Moreover, those other four people all cultivated slowly at five or even ten metres depth.
After half a day more, apart from Qin Yichen, all who had entered the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake this time, unable to resist that continuously strengthening pressure, regretfully withdrew.
Regarding those slightly regretful expressions, no one mocked them, because everyone knew that layered pressure, after over a day, would reach a terrifying degree.
The four Elders’ gazes also swept across the countenances of the last few emerged individuals. These several people already possessed the potential to enter the Inner Sect. After this matter concluded, if opportunities arose, perhaps absorbing them into the Inner Sect would be a good choice.
Time quietly passed within the silent Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake. In the blink of an eye, two days had elapsed.
After the twenty-ninth person emerged, the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake maintained an eerie silence. However, outside the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake, it became extremely lively.
Among the lush mountain peaks in four directions, vast numbers of Disciples surged forth. Although most Disciples were cultivating, their gazes all brimmed with surprise, looking toward the same direction… the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake!
Currently, two days have passed since Qin Yichen entered. Moreover, that surface’s calm waters indicated he showed absolutely no signs of breaking through the waters and returning.
Thirty metres depth, persisting for two days!
Countless Disciples clearly knew what this represented.
Even that former Sacred Master Candidate, during the Martial Emperor Realm, had only descended to the twenty metres depth. The deeper one went, the greater the pressure. Persisting two days at thirty metres depth already in no way fell short of that Sacred Master who persisted five days at twenty metres depth!
Yet Qin Yichen had now actually achieved this step. Didn’t this indicate his capabilities surpassed even that monstrous Sacred Master Candidate!?
If truly so, it seemed their Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had gained another pillar of support!
At the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake’s edge, the four Inner Sect Elders’ forms remained motionless. Their eyes all locked onto that solidified vortex beneath the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake. Their expressions all carried traces of solemnity.
