C492 First Appearance of Ferociousness

After everyone had entered the secret chamber, the door of the secret chamber closed automatically. However, Ye Hongtian had soul power covering the palace, so there was not much difference between closing the door and not closing it.

However, just as Ye Hongtian transferred the image in his mind into the secret chamber, he discovered that everyone, including the Sword Sect Master, had disappeared. They did not appear in the secret chamber.

"What's going on? I was clearly watching them enter this secret chamber. Why did they suddenly disappear? Did I get discovered? " Ye Hong Tian thought with a frown.

He used his soul power to check the secret chamber again, to check if there was anything inside the secret chamber or inside the mechanism.

However, no matter how hard Ye Hongtian tried to find it, he couldn't find anything similar. This secret chamber was just an ordinary secret chamber. It seemed to be used for seclusion. There was nothing special about it except for the dense spiritual qi.

Seeing the few living people disappear, Ye Hongtian didn't have any clue at all. He kept circulating his soul power in this secret chamber.

When his soul power got close to the secret chamber door, Ye Hongtian suddenly felt a strange aura coming out of the door. It was the aura of soul power, but it didn't belong to him.

When he felt this soul power, Ye Hongtian immediately reacted. He used his soul power to check the door of the secret room and found something unusual.

"I didn't expect that the fake Sword Sect Master would actually tamper with the secret chamber's door. If I were to use my physical eyes, I would be able to see them walking up a staircase that led downwards. And if I used my soul force to look, I would only be able to see this ordinary secret chamber."

As Ye Hongtian's soul power spread towards the lower part of the door, Ye Hongtian discovered a flight of stairs that was hidden very well. Due to the surrounding being surrounded by a special formation, Ye Hong Tian didn't find this place the first time he checked the underground of the palace.

As for why there was only a staircase, Ye Hong Tian didn't know. He slowly extended his soul power to the bottom. Ye Hong Tian found that the flight of stairs was actually used to indicate the direction. It would only be safe if he spiraled downwards in this direction.

If an ordinary person came here, they might not know where to go. If they walked randomly, there would be traps everywhere. Just now, Ye Hongtian had only slightly deviated from the spiral trajectory to explore, and then he used his soul force to see a talisman flashing with lightning.

"This is definitely a hiding place for the fake sect master, or a very important secret room. Otherwise, why would there be so many traps?"

Thinking of this, Ye Hongtian's exploration speed became much faster. Because he used his soul force, he didn't need to care about those traps and directly fell to the bottom.

Later on, he felt that he would come to this place again in the future, so he used his soul force to imprint all the traps here into a map and stored them in his sea of consciousness.

At the bottom, Ye Hong Tian discovered that this place was pitch black. He couldn't see anything and didn't have any guidance.

Helplessly, Ye Hongtian could only release his soul power from his current position in all directions. This way, even though he wouldn't be able to find anything missing, he could only search in all directions. He was still in a hurry to see what had happened to those people who had been taken away by the Sword Sect's Sect Master.

At this time, Ye Hongtian once again felt the aura of soul force that appeared on the secret chamber door. After identifying its location, he was a bit surprised.

"Above? He is really cunning. I didn't expect that the secret chamber would be built in the air. I am getting more and more curious."

He hurriedly controlled his soul power to explore upwards. Then, he released his soul power in all directions at the last place where he felt his soul power.

As expected, not long after he released his soul power, Ye Hongtian found a hidden door. First, he marked the height and position of the door into the map in his sea of consciousness. Then, he covered the door with his soul power.

After covering the door, Ye Hongtian got a view of the room behind the door. As his soul power slowly covered the entire secret room, Ye Hongtian saw the scene in the secret room even more clearly.

"This!"

The moment he saw what was inside the secret room, Ye Hongtian, who was standing outside the palace, couldn't help but widen his eyes. His face was full of shock.

At this moment, the Sword Sect's Sect Master was grabbing onto the hair of the only man who dared to suggest the test to be too difficult. An expression of extreme enjoyment appeared on his face, and a trace of a joyful smile hung at the corner of his mouth.

The breath of the man whose hair was grabbed by him had already been cut off. His face was as pale as paper, giving Ye Hongtian the feeling that something was missing from his body.

The other people who followed the Sword Sect's Sect Master here all fell to the ground. Everyone's condition was the same as that man, and not a single one of them survived.

"Hahaha! Indeed, the taste of the divine soul is the best. How many years has it been since I've consumed the divine soul? Ten years? Twenty years? In any case, after seizing this kid's body, he hasn't consumed any divine souls!"

" I've already given up on this. Who would have thought that the two divine souls in the cave would arouse my appetite again! I've been enduring for so many years. It's time for me to enjoy it! "

The Sword Sect's Sect Master threw the man in his hand to the side with a face full of excitement. He sat on a wooden chair by the side and soul force continuously erupted from his body.

"I didn't expect that this fake Sect Master would actually hold some sort of disciple recruitment for this. It's a pity that he was killed the moment he found a good seedling."2

When he heard what the Sword Sect's Sect Master had just said, Ye Hongtian already knew what had happened to those core disciples who had come in.

He had already felt that something was missing from those core disciples who had been killed earlier. Now, it seemed like they had lost their divine souls. Those who did not have divine souls would definitely give off an awkward feeling.

What the Sect Master of the Sword Sect was doing now should be digesting the soul power that he had just absorbed. Breaking through to the Divine Origin Realm from the Half-Step Divine Origin Realm required him to open up his sea of consciousness and make his divine soul stronger.

Although he could quickly make his divine soul stronger by absorbing divine souls like this, there was also a drawback, which was that his divine soul was not pure enough.

If his soul was not pure enough, then the sea of consciousness that person opened up would not be too perfect. His own soul power would not be pure either, so his future path would definitely not be too far away.

But after all, this method could quickly increase one's strength in a short period of time. Ye Hongtian was not sure if the fake sect master would open up his sea of consciousness after digesting those souls, so he chose to withdraw the soul power that was spread all over the secret chamber.

Recovering soul power was much faster than releasing soul power. It only took two breaths of time for Ye Hongtian to recover all the soul power that he had painstakingly covered the entire palace.

Touching his chin and thinking about what the sect master of the Sword Sect had done in that secret chamber, Ye Hongtian's expression was a bit serious. He then said goodbye to the two core disciples beside him and prepared to leave.

"Hey, you said that there are still a few junior brothers who haven't come out yet. Have they been chosen by the sect master?"

"How is that possible? The Grandmaster's selection isn't random. At least, it requires Senior Brother Lin's talent to be selected. I reckon that the Grandmaster's recruitment was just to try his luck."

... ""

Before he left, he heard the discussion between the two people behind him. Ye Hongtian turned around and looked at the palace gates and let out a long sigh.
