Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Millennium Blood Corpse_1

Upon entering the stone gate, a three-meter-wide corridor came into view.

Jiang Chen strode forward casually.

”Chen’er, be careful,” Jiang Minglong cautioned.

Jiang Chen shrugged, ”Dad, relax, with the seal set by the three ancient ancestors, it’s clearly meant to benefit the descendants. There might be trials within, but there definitely won’t be any traps like hidden arrows, would the ancestors create a secret chamber just to kill their own talented offspring?”

Jiang Minglong paused, thought about it, and realized it made sense. He also let down his guard and followed Jiang Chen more comfortably.

Lin Yuling glanced at Jiang Chen with interest, dropped her hand that had reached her waist, and followed them with ease.

After going through the corridor, the three of them arrived at another stone gate.

”This...it’s not going to require blood again, is it?” Jiang Chen quirked an eyebrow, speaking with a hint of reluctance.

”There’s something here!” Lin Yuling exclaimed and pointed toward the doorframe of the stone gate.

Jiang Chen looked closely and spotted several scratch marks, ”Indeed, there’s something.”

He stepped forward, wiped the doorframe, and joyously announced, ”There are characters.”

On hearing this, Jiang Minglong hurriedly jostled closer.

After Jiang Chen had cleaned the frame, a row of text appeared before them: ”First trial of the secret chamber, strength, only those who have reached the realm of an Innate Grandmaster may enter!”

”I told you there might be trials,” Jiang Chen said with a slight smile.

Lin Yuling glanced around and furrowed her brow, ”But there’s nothing here. How do we prove we’ve reached the Innate Grandmaster Realm?”

”Have you forgotten how we got in here?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile, turning to look at the stone gate.

Hum!

His body vibrated as an imposing aura burst forth from Jiang Chen, fiercely assaulting the stone gate.

Humming!

Rumbling!

The stone gate shook slightly and then slowly opened.

Jiang Chen turned to Jiang Minglong with a slight smile and stepped through the gate.

Jiang Minglong exchanged a glance with Lin Yuling and stepped forward to follow.

Boom! Bang!

But just after Jiang Chen entered, the stone gate suddenly closed, leaving Jiang Minglong outside.

”This... Chen’er? How are you? Are you alright?” Jiang Minglong’s complexion darkened with urgency as he shouted loudly.

But no matter how he called out, he received no response.

”What’s going on?” Jiang Minglong’s expression grew grim with pronounced anger in his eyes.

”Brother Minglong, don’t worry, since the rule is that only an Innate Grandmaster can enter, then we should just demonstrate our strength, and that should open the stone gate again,” Lin Yuling said, pointing towards the doorframe where the rule was inscribed.

Humming!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Minglong instantly unleashed the aura of an Innate Grandmaster, pressing down hard on the stone gate.

Rumbling!

The stone gate opened again, revealing Jiang Chen waiting inside.

”Chen’er, are you okay?” Jiang Minglong flashed into the room and looked at Jiang Chen with concern.

”Dad, I’m fine,” Jiang Chen shook his head gently.

Jiang Minglong breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of his anxiety. Having just reunited with his son, he couldn’t imagine continuing to live if anything had happened to Jiang Chen!

Rumbling!

The stone gate opened again, and Lin Yuling walked in.

The three exchanged smiling glances and continued forward.

After passing through another corridor, they arrived in a ten-meter-square room.

”Does this mean...we have to separate?” Jiang Chen gazed at the three stone gates on the opposite side and furrowed his brow lightly.

Lin Yuling stepped forward and examined one of the three stone gates, reaching out a hand to wipe the doorframe.

”Innate Mid-stage, is this... the realm of strength?” Lin Yuling softly called out.

Jiang Chen and Jiang Minglong, joined by Long’er, touched the other two stone gates’ doorframes, and two realms appeared: ’Innate Late-stage’ and ’Innate Peak’!

”It seems we are supposed to enter the stone gates that correspond to our strength,” Jiang Chen turned to Jiang Minglong and Long’er, sized them up, and then fixed his gaze on Lin Yuling, ”Miss Lin, why don’t you try first?”

Lin Yuling nodded lightly; among the three of them, her strength was indeed the weakest.

Hummm!

Standing in front of the stone gate marked with the words ’Innate Mid-stage,’ Lin Yuling fully activated her cultivation technique, her internal force rapidly circulating, her powerful presence fiercely colliding with the stone gate.

Hummm!

The stone gate trembled a few times, but there was no response.

”This...” Lin Yuling paused, staring at the stone gate in disbelief.

Jiang Chen slightly furrowed his brows and stepped up beside Lin Yuling, intently observing the stone gate.

Hummm!

Immense power surged as Jiang Chen’s cultivation technique operated at its extreme, ferociously lunging at the stone gate.

Although Jiang Chen was unclear about what this so-called ’Innate Mid-stage’ realm was, he felt that his current strength was rarely matched among Innate Grandmasters, and certainly qualified for the ’Innate Mid-stage’ realm.

Hummm!

The stone gate violently shook once more but still showed no response.

”What’s going on?” Jiang Minglong asked, perplexed.

Jiang Chen’s brows were tightly knit as he looked around the stone house.

The walls of the stone house were incredibly smooth with not a single hint, only the three stone doors and the realms inscribed upon them.

”Could it be like this?” A light bulb went off in Jiang Chen’s head, ”The first challenge is to test whether we’ve reached the Innate Great Grandmaster level, the second challenge, perhaps, is to test the specific level of our strength. Three doors, three people, each of us should stand in front of a door and try.”

No sooner had Jiang Chen spoken than he quickly moved to the stone gate marked with ’Innate Peak.’

Jiang Minglong and Lin Yuling had no objections to this; Jiang Chen was the strongest among the three of them, and it was only right for him to stand there.

Jiang Minglong also stepped up to the second stone door.

”Let’s release our oppressive force together!” Jiang Chen softly called out.

Hummm!

Three powerful auras emerged, crashing fiercely against the stone gates in front of them.

Hummm!

The three stone gates shook violently.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

In the delighted eyes of Jiang Chen and the others, the stone gates slowly opened.

”Roar!”

”Roar, roar!”

A series of beastly roars emerged from the gap in the doors, and Jiang Chen and the others’ expressions changed as they quickly retreated several steps.

Rumble...crack!

The stone gates fully opened, and three towering figures emerged from inside.

”What kind of monster is this?” shouted Jiang Chen in shock upon seeing the three figures.

The figures appearing before the three of them were three human-shaped bodies, but without faces, their whole bodies were naked and red, as if they had emerged from blood plasma and then air-dried!

”These are blood puppets!” Lin Yuling spoke with a serious tone, ”I have seen records of these in our sect’s archives. They were created by the Blood Blade Sect in the past, but... the method to create these blood puppets was destroyed in a war a thousand years ago, how could they...?”

”No way? The ancient ancestors placed blood puppets from a thousand years ago here? This...” Jiang Chen spoke in an astonished tone.
