Chapter 1735: Heaven-defying Luck (1)

"He really went to the Forbidden Abyss!" someone in the crowd exclaimed, their voice filled with disbelief.

Everyone's eyes followed the direction of the sound.

They saw that the speaker was a thin, frail young man. He was so gaunt it looked as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

"You're right, that guy really went into the Forbidden Abyss! How is this possible?"

"He's clearly just an outer sect disciple, yet he dared to enter the Forbidden Abyss alone! Is he crazy?"

"He can't be trying to challenge the Void God of Death, can he? But that's absurd!"

"Perhaps he has some hidden power? Otherwise, why would he be so reckless?"

Discussions erupted in the crowd, with some scoffing, some puzzled, and some speculating.

Even the elders of the outer and inner sects, as well as the deacons, were surprised.

The Forbidden Abyss was a perilous place; even for them, it was extremely dangerous.

They had never heard of an outer sect disciple daring to enter the Forbidden Abyss alone. This was simply unprecedented!

"Don't tell me he thinks he can become famous by doing this?" an elder scoffed.

"What do you mean 'famous'? He'll just be a corpse!" another elder retorted.

Even a true disciple, entering the Forbidden Abyss alone, would face almost certain death. Not to mention a mere outer sect disciple.

Everyone watched as the young man, in a flash, plunged into the Forbidden Abyss, disappearing from their sight.

"It seems he's really gone."

"He definitely won't be coming out alive."

Many people shook their heads, believing the young man was seeking his own demise.

As they were shaking their heads, a figure slowly approached from the forest.

This figure was exceptionally tall and robust, emanating a powerful aura.

The moment he appeared, everyone felt an oppressive pressure.

"It's Elder Jian!"

"Greetings, Elder Jian!"

Everyone quickly bowed to the figure.

Even the elders of the outer and inner sects, as well as the deacons, were no exception; they all respectfully greeted him.

Elder Jian was one of the true elders of the sect, possessing immense power and a very high status.

His cultivation realm had already reached the peak of the False God Realm, just a single step away from the True God Realm.

His prestige in the sect was second only to the sect master and a few supreme elders.

"What are you all doing here?" Elder Jian asked, his voice calm and composed.

"Elder Jian, just now, a young man from the outer sect... he entered the Forbidden Abyss!" a deacon reported respectfully.

"He entered the Forbidden Abyss?" Elder Jian frowned slightly. "Who is it?"

"It's Lin Nan," the deacon replied.

Upon hearing the name 'Lin Nan', Elder Jian's eyes instantly narrowed. A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.

"Lin Nan? Is he the one who entered the inner sect through the last entrance examination, the one with an Earth-level spiritual root?" Elder Jian inquired.

"Yes, it's him!" the deacon confirmed.

"Oh?" Elder Jian's interest seemed to pique. "He actually went into the Forbidden Abyss?"

"Yes, he went in without hesitation," the deacon said.

"That's interesting," Elder Jian murmured to himself.

He then retrieved a golden scroll.

The scroll was ancient and simple, with mysterious runes carved upon it, emanating an incredibly powerful aura.

This was a treasure for detecting spiritual roots. It could detect the level of a spiritual root, and more importantly, it could detect a person's destiny.

He had come here for Lin Nan.

According to the sect's rules, any disciple with an Earth-level spiritual root needed to be re-evaluated for their spiritual root level after entering the inner sect.

This was because some people had their spiritual roots hidden, and only after entering the inner sect and cultivating for a period would they be truly revealed.

He had heard Lin Nan's spiritual root was merely Earth-level.

But he had a feeling that Lin Nan's spiritual root might not be that simple.

He had heard that when Lin Nan entered the inner sect, there was a commotion. He seemed to have absorbed an incredible amount of spiritual energy.

This indicated that Lin Nan's spiritual root was not ordinary.

Therefore, he decided to personally come and test Lin Nan's spiritual root.

However, he didn't expect Lin Nan to go to the Forbidden Abyss.

"Is he really an Earth-level spiritual root?" Elder Jian muttered to himself.

He slowly opened the golden scroll, and a golden light immediately emanated from it, illuminating the surroundings.

The golden light contained a profound and mysterious power, instilling a sense of reverence.

"He went to the Forbidden Abyss... this is truly asking for death!" Elder Jian shook his head.

However, he still wanted to test Lin Nan's spiritual root before Lin Nan died.

Because he genuinely felt that Lin Nan was extraordinary.

His intuition had never been wrong.

He activated the golden scroll, and the golden light surged towards the Forbidden Abyss.

Everyone watched nervously.

They all knew that Elder Jian wanted to test Lin Nan's spiritual root.

They also knew that Lin Nan would definitely die in the Forbidden Abyss.

And even if Lin Nan didn't die, his spiritual root test would likely reveal an ordinary Earth-level root, perhaps even lower, given his reckless behavior.

After all, a truly gifted individual wouldn't act so recklessly.

However, just as the golden light was about to enter the Forbidden Abyss, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth from within the abyss!

This light was extremely dazzling, like a sun, radiating an unimaginable power!

And in the center of this light, a figure slowly emerged.

This figure was Lin Nan!

He stood in the light, his body seemingly infused with a powerful aura, like a god descending to the mortal world!

And above his head, a golden light pillar shot straight into the sky, piercing through the clouds!

Within the golden light pillar, countless golden runes surged, radiating an ancient and mysterious aura!

And atop his head, a golden lotus slowly blossomed!

The golden lotus had nine petals, each petal exuding a dazzling golden light.

Each petal was like a miniature sun, illuminating the entire sky!

And above the golden lotus, a small figure was faintly visible.

This figure was Lin Nan!

Everyone present was stunned!

Even Elder Jian, who had always been calm, widened his eyes in disbelief.

"This... this is a Heavenly Spirit Root! No, it's a Supreme Spirit Root! No, it's a Mythical Spirit Root!"

Elder Jian exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

A Mythical Spirit Root!

This was a legendary spiritual root, only existing in ancient myths!

It was a spiritual root that represented the pinnacle of cultivation talent!

Possessing a Mythical Spirit Root meant having the potential to become a True God!

Not just a True God, but even a God-King, or a Great Emperor!

And even beyond that, potentially reaching the realm of the Divine Emperor!

Such talent was simply unheard of!

And above Lin Nan's head, the golden lotus with nine petals represented the Nine Heavens Golden Lotus, a supreme treasure of luck!

The Nine Heavens Golden Lotus could absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, converting it into pure divine energy for the user!

And the nine petals represented the nine levels of the Nine Heavens!

Each level could increase the user's cultivation speed tenfold!

Nine petals meant nine times ten, resulting in a ninety-fold increase in cultivation speed!

This was simply heaven-defying!

And the most shocking thing was that Lin Nan had just entered the Forbidden Abyss!

He had only been in there for a moment, yet he had already awakened the Nine Heavens Golden Lotus and transformed into a Mythical Spirit Root!

This simply defied common sense!

"He absorbed the Nine Heavens Golden Lotus in the Forbidden Abyss?" Elder Jian's mind reeled.

He knew that there was a supreme treasure in the Forbidden Abyss, the Nine Heavens Golden Lotus.

But no one had ever been able to absorb it successfully.

And now, Lin Nan had absorbed it!

This was simply unbelievable!

"No wonder he dared to enter the Forbidden Abyss alone!" Elder Jian suddenly understood.

It turned out Lin Nan wasn't reckless; he had a purpose!

He wanted to absorb the Nine Heavens Golden Lotus!

And he succeeded!

This was simply a miracle!

"Such luck is simply heaven-defying!" Elder Jian was extremely excited.

With the Nine Heavens Golden Lotus and a Mythical Spirit Root, Lin Nan's future was limitless!

He could even become the sect master, or even lead the entire cultivation world!

He looked at Lin Nan with fiery eyes, as if looking at a peerless treasure.

He knew that Lin Nan's emergence would definitely change the entire cultivation world!
