Chapter 1119 Ancient Cultivation Path?

At the front of the cave, they saw the projection of the old man once again.

Grey and Alice heaved a sigh of relief since they would get instructions on what to get from this stage.

When the old man saw them, his eyes showed confusion.

”Did you fight the Bull?” He asked when they got close to him.

Grey nodded.

”Strange.” The old man muttered.

Grey and Alice were still full of energy, even though they had fought with the Bull, which shouldnʼt be. The Bull is programmed to be as strong as whoever itʼs fighting. It would not completely dominate the person, but it would be able to fight them till they were exhausted. Only then would this passage open up, and they would be transported here.

The old man didnʼt stay on the topic too long. Since these people passed, then he would let them into the next stage.

”Go through the passage, it will release its pressure on you. The longer you can endure, the better the rewards.” The old man said and disappeared.

This stage wouldʼve been better if they were tired since the pressure would push them to the limit. But Greyʼs group was fine, which was out of the expectation of the old man.

Grey and Alice exchanged glances before heading into the cave. All they saw was a long passage stretching as far as the eye could see.

”I wonder whatʼs releasing the pressure.” Grey looked at the passage with curiosity.

After some time, he took a step into the passage, and his body shook, but he regained himself almost instantly, and the pressure he suddenly felt vanished as if it had never appeared.

On the other hand, Alice paused for some time to adjust to the pressure. Void and the bunny leader were the same, only, they had it easier than Alice. They were Magical Beasts, so they had an excellent tolerance for these things.

Grey was the only one who didnʼt feel anything. He continued forward in a carefree manner, not bothering with this stage.

Seeing how Grey was walking without a trace of pressure, Alice followed behind him. The pressure at the start isnʼt something that could stop her from advancing.

Hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters. The further they go, the stronger the pressure. It started to affect Alice as her breathing started to get heavy.

She looked at Greyʼs expression and was once again dumbfounded by this friend of hers. Grey didnʼt even break a sweat, it was almost like he was taking a stroll.

”Arenʼt you feeling the pressure too?” She couldnʼt help but ask.

”Pressure? Not really. I feel a tingling sensation on my skin if that counts.” Grey replied.

Aliceʼs face turned dark when she heard this. Sometimes, she just wished to beat the hell out of Grey.

”Are you sure youʼre not feeling any pressure?” She asked again, to be sure. Grey liked to joke with his friends, so she had to confirm whether he was joking.

”Iʼm serious. I donʼt feel any pressure at all.” Grey replied seriously.

Alice looked at him with an odd expression. The bunny leader was shaken when it saw and heard all this. It couldnʼt believe it. It was feeling the pressure, and even though he had no problems advancing for now, it was unknown if it could reach the passageʼs end.

Void didnʼt show too much surprise, he had always known Grey was a freak. Whenever he sees any new freakish thing done by Grey, he shows no shock.

”Can you continue?” Grey asked.

Alice nodded with a grit of her teeth.

Grey didnʼt speak any further and continued walking. Alice followed behind him, a little slower now. Once she got to a certain stage, she knew it would be dangerous.

Five hundred meters.

”I canʼt go any further.” Alice supported her body with the walls of the cave.

At this stage, Grey also started to feel it on his body. The pressure was getting stronger, and his body felt like a heavy boulder was pressing it.

ʼIt can only suppress things related to my cultivation realm.ʼ He thought to himself.

When he first stepped foot on the passageway, he felt a foreign force trying to enter his body and mess up his essence. His essence, however, was no longer in his body. It was kept in the Chaos Space.

Not just that, but the orb in his body reacted and destroyed the energy that entered his body. This was the reason why he had been carefree.

The case was different since it had started to pressure his physical body.

ʼCould this be a trial to train the body? I wonder if ancient Elementalists cultivate their bodies.ʼ Grey thought to himself as he studied the pressure on his body.

Alice stopped at the five hundred meters mark. She was barely holding on, and she couldnʼt take it anymore with her physical body being pressured too.

”Iʼll be going ahead then.” Grey said before he continued going further.

Alice sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate. She could tell that this place was also perfect for her essence and body. The result was evident in her essence since she had walked a good distance on it.

Void and the bunny leader followed Grey, they could still go on, so there was no need to stay behind. Besides, it was quite beneficial for them. Especially this part that worked on the body. Magical Beasts had strong bodies, to begin with.

A man and two small Magical Beasts standing on each side of his shoulder began heading further into the cave.

….

In the depth of the cave.

A pavilion could be seen, and in the middle of it was an armor floating on its own.

The armor sparkled with brilliance. Even after staying in this place for so long, its radiance couldnʼt be hidden.

At the side of the pavilion, a figure could be seen, it was unknown if the figure was alive or dead.
