Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 315

As they advanced, Yan Chutian finally realized something strange. It seemed that Lin Chen's eyes were different from those of ordinary cultivators.

Every time he stared for a long time, specks of golden light would twinkle in his eyes, allowing him to see through the illusion and discover the truth.

Yan Chutian immediately started flipping through the memories in his mind. However, it is very difficult to distinguish the truth with just a few of these marks. Moreover, he seemed to have never heard of any strange eyes that would flash with golden light when used.

"Sister Lin Chen was truly incredible to be able to see right through the weirdness of this place!"

"Haha ... many thanks to senior brother Lin Chen for leading."

"If we move on our own, who knows how much time we will waste, and we might even lose our lives!"

Lin Chen continued to lead many geniuses forward without encountering any disturbances along the way. Naturally, they were strongly convinced by Lin Chen. They just thought that Lin Chen was already confident and had seen it all.

However, Yan Chutian could clearly see that the deeper they went, the harder it was to distinguish between the truth and the illusions hidden in the surrounding waters. The time Lin Chen spent staring also gradually increased.

In fact, further progress was accompanied by the intention of investigating. However, due to the aura he created earlier, the originally cautious geniuses around him were willing to follow his instructions.

Clearly taking this scene, Yan Chutian could not help but sneer. As expected, this Lin Chen had no good intentions when he said that he could bring people.

He used these people as test stones. First, he would use his powerful aura to convince them. When they reached the depths of the water that even he himself was unsure of, he would let these people test the water.

At that moment, although it was revealed, what else could they do other than continue listening to it since they had come this far?

This Lin Chen's plan was not bad. Unfortunately, there was Yan Chutian in the crowd. When he saw Lin Chen's intentions, he immediately left the group and retreated alone.

Yan Chutian retreated alone without telling anyone, nor did he announce Lin Chen's scheme.

It was because as he spoke, the geniuses surrounding Lin Chen would surround and attack him, thinking that he was saying nonsense. He wouldn't be stupid to do such a selfless thing.

Yan Chutian's retreat was seen by the crowd and a group of geniuses, but they didn't care at all. It was the other party who foolishly let go of such a huge opportunity. What does this have to do with him?

Moreover, having one person less would also increase the chances of him getting the chance, and there would be one less competitor.

"Eh... Is anyone out of the group?"

"It's stupid. It was a good opportunity to climb the summit, but he wasted it."

"By the way, the one who left seems to be a disciple of a second-rate power that gave rise to many discussions in the Central Plains City."

"Certainly? At that time, it was only in the Central Plains City. Zhou Ling was unwilling to move, otherwise he would be able to suppress it by raising his hand. "

"It's a shame we can't see that scene. The idiot left the group. Given this territorial waters were unpredictable, even if he destroyed his seal, he would not be able to leave. Right now, he could neither advance nor retreat, and could die at any time!"

"Heh .. rumor has it that he also has achievements in formation. Who knows, he might even find his own way out."

"Haha .. I don't think it's just a rumor. With his status, even if he knew of the formation, it was only superficial. How could he compare to Lin Chen?"

“Who knows? What if he had extraordinary talent in formation? Hahaha.”.

Many mocking sounds were heard continuously. Although some words seem to be praise on the surface, it is not difficult to infer from the deeper tone and meaning that the words are actually mocking him.

From their point of view, Yan Chutian was too stupid, and could even be said to be seeking death. He obviously had the chance to ascend to Dragon Peak, yet he suddenly left the group.

However, among all the mocking gazes, there was a hidden meaning. Lin Chen was surrounded by many geniuses. His cold eyes swept over and looked at the figure of the retreating Yan Chutian.

No one knows what he's thinking. Moreover, after taking a quick glance, he turned his gaze back and continued to lead the group forward.

Finally, as they went deeper, Lin Chen could no longer accurately distinguish. Even if the golden light in his eyes flickered, he could not tell the difference clearly.

This sudden turn of events caused the group of geniuses that were following Lin Chen to suddenly tighten their nerves. They originally thought that safely climbing the Dragon Peak was already a deal. How could such an unexpected event suddenly happen?!

However, no one can answer it. At this moment, Lin Chen's expression was uncertain as he scanned the surroundings closely. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "There will be a mistake in the end. Everyone, don't worry, there won't be any more mistakes."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Chen took the lead. As expected, he did not encounter any danger when he took the first step. However, the death of a genius just now had sounded the alarm bell in their hearts. Even if they seemed unconcerned on the surface, how could they be so worried in their hearts?

At the same time, many geniuses around him were also nervous. Some even feel that this region of water is very dangerous. Even Lin Chen was unable to control it and made mistakes.

At the same time, Yan Chutian, who was crossing the waters alone, became increasingly dazzling in their eyes.

Even Lin Chen had made a mistake. Why are the disciples of this second-rate faction not dead yet?

While these few geniuses could not help but curse inward, they astonishedly discovered that although Yan Chutian had retreated far away, he immediately changed direction and headed towards the Dragon Peak in another direction.

"What ...what does he mean by this? Could it be that according to him senior brother Lin Chen's path was wrong and wanted to open his own path to ascend to Dragon Peak ?!"

"Who does he think he is? He did not know the vastness of heaven and earth!"

"Stupid. Let's secretly see how this disciple of the second-rate faction dies!"

"..."

The ridicule and ridicule from before had completely turned into humiliation and cold snort.

The geniuses beside Lin Chen turned their heads and quietly shook their heads. Although Lin Chen had made them suspicious, it could be said that he was the most reliable person here. And this disciple of the second-rate faction actually wanted to open his own path to ascend to the Dragon Peak. No doubt it was a fool's dream.

However, when they thought of this, they did not expect Lin Chen to suddenly attack and slap a certain genius in a certain direction.

This genius was caught off guard and slapped. He did not even have time to make a sound before he sank into the black river and disappeared completely.

With regards to this, Lin Chen ignored the death of a genius and faintly muttered to himself, "It seems like this place is fake, then that place should be real!"

As his voice faded, he controlled the ground under his feet to move forward. As expected, there was no danger, and it was as calm as before.

However, how could the geniuses who followed him remain calm? Now that things had become like this, how could they not see that Lin Chen had brought them here out of the kindness of his heart to use them as test subjects ?!

"Lin Chen, you ...!"

"There is no free lunch in the world. Since I want to guide all of you to the top, of course I need a small portion of you to pay the price."

Lin Chen's expression was calm and he wasn't confused at all. He then turned to look at the geniuses behind him and smiled strangely. "In addition ... don't you all want to have fewer competitors?"

Perhaps they felt helpless, or perhaps they felt that their hearts had been spoken, but the originally angry geniuses who felt that they had been cheated said nothing.

Of course, a moment later, a genius sneered. "Then why don't you pay the price yourself and test the way yourself?"

For a moment, many ferocious flashes flickered, as if wanting to push Lin Chen into the water at any moment.

Even so, Lin Chen did not panic in the face of such a situation. Instead, he said to the sneering genius. "If you can guide them forward, how about using me as a test subject?"

This simple sentence immediately made the other party speechless. Because that genius knew very well that if he guided them, they would not be able to ascend to the Dragon Peak no matter how many lives were sacrificed.

In other words, without Lin Chen, they would be stuck here to death!

Seeing the other party was speechless, the corner of Lin Chen's mouth curled up into a strange smile. He then said, "Furthermore, I will let you test the way for everyone."
