Who Was He Keeping Vigil For?

For whom are we keeping vigil?

The manor lord shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed; you will know once you pass the test!"

The old Daoist priest didn't say anything more after hearing this.

Upal, on the contrary, was instantly displeased upon hearing this.

With his hands on his hips, he shouted:

"Stop pretending! Tell me what you're testing!"

The prefect ignored Upal, only giving Wu An a look.

He understood immediately and walked towards the stone platform ahead.

It is faintly visible that these stone platforms are all made of white marble.

The smooth, flat stone surface was completely bare.

The stone platform is surrounded by flowers and grass.

Upon arriving here, Wu An glanced at the scene and then placed his hand on one of the stone platforms, saying:

"Gentlemen, this is the Holy Land of my Eastern Shengshen Continent. If you wish to see the altar, you must comprehend the secrets within this stone platform to pass the test!"

What?

Holy Land!

Upon hearing the words "Holy Land," Upal's eyes lit up instantly!

Without making a sound, he immediately approached step by step to observe.

However, no matter how much he looked, he couldn't find anything special.

"This stone platform of yours is quite ordinary; where would you find any treasure?"

Upon hearing the question, the manor lord smiled but remained silent.

Wu An also stepped aside and said nothing more.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Chen felt a sense of foreboding.

The stone platform looked quite ordinary; most people wouldn't notice anything special about it.

If the other party dares to use this as a test, they must be quite formidable.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Chen decided to observe the area first before making a decision.

"Let me take a look!"

Sheng Hui, who had volunteered, swallowed hard and then went to the stone platform.

He glanced at it twice, then touched it with his hand.

After fiddling around for a while, he still hadn't discovered anything.

Upon seeing this, Upal couldn't help but sneer:

"I say, you didn't bring us a few broken stones, did you? This is your Holy Land? Bah! What's the difference between it and junk!"

Upon hearing this, the manor lord's face darkened!

Seeing Upal's reckless words, he immediately flew into a rage and said:

"You arrogant and ignorant wretch! When you lose, I will surely throw you to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish!"

"Tch! You try feeding her!" Upal said.

"I, Upal, have traveled all over the universe all these years. When have I ever suffered such humiliation? If you're not satisfied, let's have a fight!"

The lord of the manor didn't waste any words!

With a cold expression, he waved his small hand, and a terrifying pressure instantly swept over.

Before Upal could react, he was stunned and instantly had his neck grabbed!

This terrified him, and he immediately screamed for help.

"Help! Lin Chen, he's killed someone! It's terrifying! Help me!"

Lin Chen shrugged, indicating that he was also helpless.

The old Daoist priest had a look on his face that said, "Looking at a show!"

"If you still can't grasp it within an hour, then we'll have to make an example of you!"

The lord smiled and pointed at Upal, saying:

"This guy has a foul mouth, I'll slaughter him like a dog!"

Upon hearing this, Upal was terrified!

Feeling quite helpless, he could only plead:

"Don't kill me, brother! I didn't mean to! Please give me a chance!"

"Give you a chance? Who's giving me a chance?" the manor lord asked.

"I've disliked you for a long time, kid. Rest in peace!"

Upal: "..."

Upal was speechless, his eyes filled with panic!

He had been screaming that he was doomed, but at that moment he completely chickened out!

"Let me give it a try!"

The old Daoist priest smiled and followed him to the stone platform.

Like Sheng Hui, he also glanced at it a few times, and then reached out to touch it!

However, after touching it for quite a while, he still couldn't feel anything.

This prompted Upal to scoff:

"You old Daoist priest, are you trying to touch a lover's hand? It's been so long, isn't it ice cold?"

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest shook his head slightly.

"This humble Daoist priest also cannot see anything special about this stone!"

Upon hearing this, Upal snorted coldly:

"Let me go! I told you long ago that these stones were just a hoax, a trick to fool people, but you didn't believe me! Let me go!"

The manor lord remained silent with a smile, showing no sign of loosening his grip.

Seeing this, Wu An explained:

"Gentlemen, these stone platforms all hold something, but only those with the right destiny can obtain them."

Only those with the right destiny can obtain it?

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this.

With only one person left to try, he immediately walked to the stone platform.

Looking down, the stone platform was flat and smooth, square and unremarkable, with nothing special about it.

Feeling somewhat confused Lin Chen scratched his head and then reached down to touch it.

You won't believe it until you touch it!

The moment his hand touched the stone, a strange power surged through him.

It was like being electrocuted, leaving Lin Chen in awe!

The stone beneath his hand was now bursting with specks of white light!

This shocked the manor lord, who exclaimed:

"It actually lit up..."

Even Wu An was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief!

Zhuo Ma had never seen the stone platform shine since he became the Mausoleum Guard Army.

"Holy crap! It's really bright!" Upal exclaimed in shock!

"It's bright and you think that's good? Do you want to die?" Sheng Hui!

Upal shook his head slightly.

With his neck being gripped, he glanced at the manor lord and said:

"Can you let me go now? My master has even lit up the stone platform!"

The dismissive lord of the manor snorted lightly:

"So what if it's lit up? He'll figure out what's inside this stone platform first! If he doesn't, he'll still die!"

Upal: "..."

Upal, who had been too hasty in his celebration, sighed, his eyes filled with a longing for life!

In contrast, after Lin Chen activated the stone platform, his body instantly entered a strange consciousness space!

The surrounding environment has changed; it's no longer a meadow of flowers.

What came into view was a pavilion and tower!

Amidst the pavilions and towers, there stood a figure with an ethereal air, white hair, and a regal bearing!

Upon seeing that figure from behind, Lin Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

It is a reverence for the highest life, and a fear of the strong!

You should know that Lin Chen has seen his share of powerful individuals!

For example, the terrifying beings in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, the Creator God, and even the old Daoist priest.

But none of these people possessed the terrifying pressure emanating from the figure before them!

It's as if just that one silhouette is enough to make people kneel down and submit!

Thinking of all this, Lin Chen subconsciously wanted to get closer.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped completely!

That terrifying pressure felt as if it were a tangible force!

Lin Chen stopped immediately after sensing this powerful force.

Faced with such terrifying pressure, he could only stand back.

He discovered that although the pavilion seemed to be right in front of him, it was actually quite a distance away!

"Heaven and earth are ruthless... treating all things like straw dogs. The Yellow Heaven has perished, the Azure Heaven shall rise... In the primordial chaos, it was divided into three..."

At that moment, a deafening sound came from all directions!

Like the voice of the Great Dao, it instantly froze Lin Chen, who listened intently!
