At the pyramid's apex.
There was only one cultivation chamber here, and it had been sealed in dust for ages. Since its completion, no one had ever entered it!
And now, it finally welcomed its first master—Lin Chuan!
Lin Chuan slowly pushed open the massive stone doors with spiritual energy. The rumbling tremors made the entire pyramid shake, as though it were cheering—or bowing in submission.
By the time he reached this place, the pressure had become terrifying. Even Lin Chuan could not completely resist it, especially the cultivators' oppressive aura, which had clearly reached the Void Refinement stage. This was the greatest power those Fusion-stage cultivators could leave behind here. After all, they were merely imprinted remnants of aura and could not perfectly replicate the pressure of their true selves.
Even so, every step Lin Chuan took felt as though he were carrying a thousand-pound mountain on his back. And that immense weight did not merely press down on his body—it weighed upon his soul as well!
The Maha Sutra had greatly strengthened Lin Chuan's soul, giving him spiritual power far beyond his cultivation level. But it was still only at the late Soul Formation stage, perhaps the Great Perfection stage, while the pressure here had already reached the Void Refinement stage. This was an enormous trial for Lin Chuan as well!
But from another perspective, pressure created room for progress. Lin Chuan believed that as long as he persevered in cultivating here, even if his cultivation did not break through in the near future, his spiritual power would definitely be the first to reach the Void Refinement stage. When that happened, his strength would surely undergo a tremendous leap, though Lin Chuan still did not know exactly what changes would occur.
