This cushion can only accommodate one person standing. It should be an independent teleportation array. Let me check it out first.
Qin Chen stood on the cushion, and the moment he stood there, a sudden cracking sound was heard. Simultaneously, the place where Qin Chen stood suddenly opened up a fissure.
His body sank, and he was about to fall downward.
Qin Chen was slightly shocked but didn't panic. He circulated his internal power, trying to fly up and understand the operation process of this teleportation array, to see if there was any danger.
However, to his astonishment, just as he was about to use his power, an immense suction force suddenly came from beneath his feet. Before he could fly up, he was directly sucked into the black hole in the ground.
At this, Qin Chen's expression truly changed. Even his Spatial Law couldn't resist it. This teleportation array appeared without warning, but its power was extremely terrifying. He only had time to say that he would wait for them inside before he fell straight down.
Above, the originally cracked black hole closed up again at this moment, plunging him into darkness.
Chen!
Seeing Qin Chen suddenly vanish into the black hole, You Qianxue was startled and hurriedly rushed forward, but by the time she reached the spot, Qin Chen was already gone.
"Young Madam, don't worry. Since the Young Master said he would wait for us below, we should also go in sooner to avoid making him wait too long."
You Qianxue nodded, quickly standing on the cushion. She heard a click, and the hole reappeared, swallowing You Qianxue.
Next, Dao Wang Mu Zhi Feng also stood on it, and he too disappeared from the cushion. The stone chamber once again became empty, as if no one had ever been there, with no signs of any disturbance.
In the void, surrounded by darkness, Qin Chen could only feel his body continuously falling, seemingly with no end. Looking up, there was no trace of light.
Qin Chen frowned slightly. Although he was somewhat surprised by the current situation, he wasn't too panicked.
The events he encountered in the stone chamber earlier made him certain that the information he obtained should be true. The void bandits should have also entered this teleportation array and gone into the cave residence, which is why the stone chamber above was empty.
He just didn't know what the situation below was now, whether the void bandits were guarding below.
He dared not be careless, quietly circulating his entire strength, ready to unleash violence if he found anything amiss.
Soon, a faint light appeared below. Qin Chen quickly released his divine sense to scan downwards, and moments later, his expression became strange.
Because below was actually a cavern, unlike what he imagined. There were no void bandits, nor anyone from the Zhan Wang Sect and other factions. It was completely empty.
Shortly afterwards, Qin Chen landed in the cavern. Looking around, the cave was utterly empty; there was nothing at all.
Before Qin Chen could observe carefully, an unusual energy fluctuation suddenly arose in the cavern. Immediately, two black passages slowly lifted on both sides of the cave.
At the same time, a few runes appeared above these passages. The meaning of these runes was very clear and simple—the rune on the left passage meant 'Trial,' and the rune on the right passage meant 'Inheritance.'
Moreover, a cold voice suddenly echoed in Qin Chen's ear. The voice was extremely eerie, chilling, like a venomous snake, slippery and causing Qin Chen a discomfort across his body.
"Hehehe, welcome to my palace. It doesn't matter which race you come from; since you have reached my palace, it is fate."
The cold voice clearly manifested in Qin Chen's mind, as if speaking directly in his mind, unable to be blocked or resisted.
"In front of you are two paths. One is a trial, and the other is inheritance. You may choose one, and once you have chosen, you cannot choose the other path."
"As long as you enter the path of inheritance, you will undergo a series of tests set by me. If you pass, just like its name, you will receive the inheritance of my alchemy path. Now that the Heavenly Realm is shattered and chaos is breaking down, I am also on the verge of demise. I truly hope someone can take away my inheritance."
