Chapter 1452 - 1447: Fierce Tiger (Part 2)

There is certainly no lack of light in the stone chamber!

Many strangely shaped stones emit light, but they only serve the purpose of illumination.

Of course, compared to broad daylight, it’s more like a cloudy day in here.

Overall, it is a bit dim.

But for Lin Xi, it makes no difference at all.

Unless there was no light at all.

Generally speaking, the deeper you venture into the unknown, the more downward you go.

It would create a sense of oppression in people.

But not here.

It’s not because of Lin Xi’s strength.

Even an ordinary person entering here probably wouldn’t feel any oppression.

Moreover, the air is very fresh.

It’s as if there’s a system to refresh the air at all times.

As for this.

Lin Xi was not surprised at all.

Being able to set up such a mysterious Secret Realm, air and light are nothing to such a powerful being.

Even he could set something like this up.

Descending further, he soon encountered another stone chamber.

The stairs, he silently counted in his mind.

There were about forty to fifty steps.

Relative to the stone chamber above, this one is about fifteen meters below it.

Relative to the ground, it is at least thirty meters deep.

Thirty meters!

This isn’t shallow.

Compared to the previous stone chamber, this one is much simpler.

Or rather, more modest.

There was only a desk!

On the desk rested a stone box.

Roughly palm-wide and twenty centimeters long.

Ancient and dark gray in color.

Nothing particularly striking.

It just gave off the impression of an ordinary stone box.

But to Lin Xi, it was something worthy of appreciation.

He was almost certain.

Inside, it should be the second level of the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Art.

He moved forward step by step.

Each step taken with caution.

At the slightest hint of danger, he would immediately retreat.

No matter how important the Cultivation Technique is, it can’t compare to his life.

Of course, he had a vague suspicion in his heart.

That is, there shouldn’t be any danger.

After all, there is no need for such a powerful being to set traps.

This isn’t an ancient tomb!

It’s a stone chamber meant to pass down Cultivation Techniques to those destined to receive them.

As for the tests!

He had already passed all of them.

So now, he was just here for the reward.

That’s how he thought, and he was more than ninety percent sure of it.

But who can be one hundred percent certain about the unknown?

Things could turn around in an instant!

Until he reached the desk without discovering anything wrong, the vigilance in his heart finally eased a bit.

He had no intention of sitting in the chair in front of the desk.

No need for that!

He reached for the stone box and touched it.

Found that nothing happened.

"Really nothing?"

He picked it up instantly and found no lock on it.

Just as he was about to open it and take a look, he heard the sound of stones rubbing against each other from behind him.

His heart couldn’t help but skip a beat, and he turned around immediately.

He found the passage he had just descended was slowly closing.

Lin Xi’s expression changed slightly.

Without another word, he grabbed the stone box and headed for the passage.

If he got trapped in here, it would be like shouting to heaven and hell with no one responding.

Even with his strength close to the mid-Innate level, he would be trapped to death.

Within five seconds, he had already run out of the passage.

And coincidentally, the width of the passage could no longer accommodate a person.

"That was close!" Lin Xi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

If he had hesitated even a little, he wouldn’t have made it out.

Or perhaps he would have been crushed by the closing passage.

However, just as he was catching his breath, he found that the stone chamber was about to close earlier than expected.

The stone door was slowly closing automatically.

"Looks like they want me to leave early!" Lin Xi said.

In a flash, he dashed out.

He had tried before, and this stone chamber couldn’t be broken through by force.

Even with his full strength, there was no effect at all.

Luckily, the stone chamber door closed very slowly.

Soon after!

He exited the Secret Realm and emerged onto the ground.

The pit disappeared instantly.

This made him a bit curious, as it used to disappear only by daylight.

Why did it vanish so quickly now?

Could it be because he had obtained the second level of the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Art?

He glanced at the stone box in his hand, thinking that if it wasn’t the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Art, it would be a joke!

Of course, that possibility was small!

Immediately, he eagerly opened it.

Inside was a piece of silk cloth laid flat.

But what material it was?

He couldn’t tell.

However, there were densely packed characters on it, like earthworms.

These characters!

To be honest, he didn’t recognize them.

But when he looked at them, he understood what they meant.

"Exactly right!"

"It is indeed the second level of the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Art!"

In less than ten seconds, the characters on the silk cloth turned into a glow, shooting into his brow.

Instantly, the second level of the Cultivation Technique was deeply imprinted in his mind.

He didn’t bother about the wilderness around him or the potential presence of wild beasts.

He sat cross-legged on the ground immediately.

Because he could feel the True Qi within him becoming somewhat chaotic.

It was drawn by the second level of the Cultivation Technique.

Starting from the first level of the Cultivation Technique and naturally transitioning into the second level by the end.

Everything proceeded very smoothly.

Without the slightest hindrance!

At this moment, he was certain this was indeed the second level.

But upon running the second level of the Cultivation Technique, he had no other energy to think about anything else.

You could say he was completely focused.

Yes, he was on the path to a breakthrough.

He could vaguely sense that this was an opportunity for him to advance to the mid-Innate level.

If he missed it, then the next chance might come randomly.

Or maybe, after enduring for half a year, he could also break through to the Innate level.

But he wasn’t willing to wait.

The earlier he broke through to the mid-Innate level, the more it would aid him.

By then, even if several mid-Innate level experts from the ten great families came, he would have nothing to worry about.

In the same tier!

He could undoubtedly say, invincible!

Fifty meters away from him, there was a fierce tiger!

This tiger was about twice the size of a normal tiger one would see in a zoo or in the wild.

And those tusks sparkled with a cold light.

They resembled two chilling, sharp swords.

Its limbs were extremely muscular, and its claws were even more terrifying.

Like steel claws.

If a person got scratched by it, most likely they would be gutted.

If Lin Xi were nearby, he would notice the aura emanating from the tiger was already at the level of a Peak Soldier King.

You could say it had become enlightened.

In fact, its eyes indeed had a touch of human-like qualities.

Clearly, it had wisdom!

At this moment, it seemed to have caught a scent and was making its way step by step towards Lin Xi’s direction.
