192: Chapter 192 The First Power

Regarding the inability to use Divine Thought, everyone had long been prepared; it was impossible for a Sect Forbidden Ground to be thoroughly scouted from millions of miles away.

But the fact that Spiritual Qi was also suppressed was somewhat unexpected to everyone.

Some people cast their gazes covertly toward Lin Qing; with both Divine Thought and Spiritual Qi suppressed, did that not mean everyone was equal?

Lin Qing naturally had already noticed these covert gazes and could guess their thoughts.

To this, Lin Qing could only express that they were overthinking it.

If it came to relying on Spiritual Qi and the power of will, these people would truly have the qualifications to contend with him.

On one hand, Lin Qing's power of will was still in a growth stage, and although he had already solidified the Origin Spirit Body talent in terms of spiritual power, the growth time was still short.

On the other hand, it was the characteristics of spiritual power and will; both of these powers belonged to the type that could easily undergo Fusion.

If these one hundred people were to combine their powers, although they might not necessarily catch up to Lin Qing in terms of quality, in terms of quantity, it was definitely something Lin Qing could not compare with.

But if these people wanted to compare Physical Body strength with Lin Qing, that would be completely overestimating their own capabilities.

Lin Qing's Innate Mysterious Fetus was a talent obtained as early as in the Xia Kingdom; by now, his Physical Body had long grown to an inconceivable Realm, not to mention that he also possessed Ultra Instinct, which could allow him to perfectly utilize his power.

Moreover, the Physical Body strength of different people could not undergo Fusion; even if ten people with a million-jin strength simultaneously launched an attack on Lin Qing, what Lin Qing would face would only be ten strands of million-jin strength, not one strand of ten-million-jin strength; the difference between the two naturally goes without saying.

The darkness in the corridor was not ordinary; it was completely different from the darkness of the night in the outside world.

If it were in the outside world, even if the spiritual light were weak at this moment, the Cultivators present would be enough to rely on this faint light to see everything around them clearly.

After all, the Cultivators here were at least Eighth Rank, and their five senses had all been strengthened during the process of Cultivation.

But here, their eyesight seemed to have returned to their youth, to that state before they had even begun Cultivation.

Even Lin Qing was affected in the same way; he could not see the things around him as clearly as he could in daylight.

Moreover, this corridor was not a straight line, and he could not see what was at the end.

The team advanced steadily in this atmosphere where everyone had their own ulterior motives, while Lin Qing walked in the middle of the team, looking up at the stone carvings on both sides of the corridor, which recorded some history of the Kunxu Immortal Sect.

The Kunxu Immortal Sect had a long history; it was not only the top power fifty thousand years ago, but even pushing back hundreds of thousands of years, the Kunxu Immortal Sect was the undisputed number one.

About three hundred thousand years ago, the continent gave birth to the first God Realm Cultivator; he called himself Kunxuzi and founded the Kunxu Immortal Sect in the Central Continent, and he publicized the method to become a God Realm Cultivator.

His selfless spirit attracted the vast majority of the strong individuals on the continent, and the Kunxu Immortal Sect rapidly developed and expanded, becoming the top power on the continent.

About one hundred thousand years later, the Kunxu Immortal Sect produced the first Tenth Rank Cultivator.

Then, after about another one hundred thousand years, which was one hundred thousand years ago from today, the first Level 11 Cultivator on the continent was also born within the Kunxu Immortal Sect.

Up until now, no Level 12 Cultivator has appeared on the continent on the surface.

Looking at these stone carvings, Lin Qing could not help but feel admiration for this Kunxu Immortal Sect.

Unfortunately, fifty thousand years ago, the Kunxu Immortal Sect suddenly suffered a disaster; most of the strong individuals in the Sect perished under the Heavenly Tribulation, and afterwards, it even suffered a joint attack from outside forces.

This former Holy Land of Cultivation eventually sank into the long river of history.

It is worth mentioning that on one of the stone carvings, there was also a record about the Old Turtle.

However, the last time the Old Turtle appeared before people was already five hundred thousand years ago; even in the Kunxu Immortal Sect, the Old Turtle belonged to the Realm of legends.

Lin Qing thought, if the Old Turtle had been able to meet Kunxuzi, perhaps it would not have lived alone on the sea for hundreds of thousands of years.

As the team continued to penetrate deeper, the spiritual power that everyone could release became less and less, and the surrounding environment became darker and darker.

But the dark environment did not make them increase their vigilance; instead, the pace of the people leading the way became faster and faster.

On one hand, it was because the team had already spent a full incense stick of time entering the passage, and no danger had occurred during this time.

On the other hand, the large number of people gave them an inexplicable sense of security; when a group of people gathered together, their fear of the surrounding environment would be greatly reduced.

Moreover, there were Peak Ninth Rank Cultivators in the team, and those leading the way believed that if there was danger, the strong individuals in the team would definitely discover it before them and thus warn them.

Thus, under the influence of various reasons, an accident occurred.

Just as the person in the lead stepped onto a stone floor tile without any precautions, that floor tile suddenly sank a few inches, and then someone heard a creaking sound coming from behind the walls on both sides of the corridor; that was the mechanism in operation.

"Watch out!"

Someone immediately shouted to warn everyone, yet before his voice had even faded, dense arrows shot out from the walls on both sides.

Each of these arrows was a zhang long and as thick as an adult's forearm, emitting a piercing whistle as they cut through the air.

"Ah!"

The screams of Cultivators immediately came from the crowd; this was the Forbidden Ground of the Kunxu Immortal Sect, and these arrows were clearly not as simple as they appeared on the surface; at the very least, piercing through the Physical Body of these Eighth or Ninth Rank Cultivators was easy.

Someone saw the arrows flying toward him and subconsciously raised his hand, releasing a spiritual power shield.

However, the moment the shield was released, he regretted it; as an Eighth Rank expert, his shield strength was not even as good as that of a Fifth Rank Pulse Opening Realm Cultivator.

Without giving him too much time to repent, the next instant, the arrow pierced through his chest, his clothes were instantly stained red, and then he collapsed onto the ground.

Whether it was because the spiritual power in their bodies was suppressed or because these arrows were special, in any case, when these arrows pierced through the bodies of these Eighth Rank Cultivators, they were like ordinary people, dying rapidly within a few breaths.

As the former top power of the continent, the traps and mechanisms in the Forbidden Ground of the Kunxu Immortal Sect were exceptionally simple, but under the circumstances where various abilities were suppressed and sealed, they were very effective.

"Retreat!"

The Peak Ninth Rank Cultivator from the Qianyuan Heavenly Palace stood out to direct everyone.

These leaders finally realized that after fifty thousand years, the layout of the mechanisms in the Forbidden Ground had been completely disrupted; they originally had some information about the mechanisms in the Forbidden Ground, and this arrow rain mechanism clearly should not have appeared here.

The current situation was already very obvious; the information that was already vague in their minds had completely lost its use.

In the situation where the mechanism layout was completely disrupted, rushing forward rashly might lead them into the next trap, so retreating to the area they had previously passed was the wisest choice.

Just as the team was retreating in a panic under the command of the Qianyuan Heavenly Palace Cultivator, shouts came from the crowd in the rear.

"Stop pushing, there's no path!"
