Chapter 1482: Chapter 1482: The Divine Artifact Buried Beneath the Magma
"Currently unclear, so we have to go in and take a look."
"Let’s go and see, but if we encounter danger, you must immediately retreat with me." Lin Chen said to Little Profound Turtle. In the depths of this fire sea, Little Profound Turtle was unaffected by the flame and lava, and Lin Chen thought he would have more strength.
"Don’t worry, leave it to me, let’s quickly go down and take a look." Little Profound Turtle was extremely excited inside, acting like a curious kitten, eager to know what Lin Chen had discovered, and whether there were treasures and opportunities.
Soon after, Lin Chen and Little Profound Turtle arrived at the area where the aura fluctuation was abnormal and immediately discovered that there was actually a curtain of flame, and beyond it, another world lay hidden.
"Lin Chen, this seems like a fire barrier, and there’s a space behind it. Let’s go in and take a look." Little Profound Turtle said excitedly to Lin Chen.
Seeing this, Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Fortune favors the bold." At this moment, Lin Chen thought for a while and decided to take a risk.
Thus Lin Chen and Little Profound Turtle, one man and one beast, immediately passed through the curtain and dived down towards the bottom of the fire sea.
What Lin Chen didn’t expect was that beneath this sea of fire, there truly was another world. Lin Chen and Little Profound Turtle dived nearly fifty thousand feet and discovered there was a cave mansion, and this cave mansion could isolate the oppressive heat and pressure of the fire sea.
However, upon arriving at the front of the cave mansion, Lin Chen found that there was an array formation light barrier separating the entrance, making it not so easy to enter.
But, while this might be difficult for others, for Lin Chen, it was not a problem.
After all, Lin Chen was proficient in spiritual formations, though the current formation was complex and arranging the same formation might be challenging. Simply entering it was not difficult.
Lin Chen activated Abyssal Eye and quickly found the formation eye, then with a wave of his hand, he sent out twelve formation flags, dispersing them onto the light shield. Next, Lin Chen released his spiritual power, and with a sharp command, a gap appeared in the formation.
"Let’s go, in." Lin Chen said to Little Profound Turtle, one man and one beast entered through the light curtain and entered the cave mansion. Subsequently, Lin Chen withdrew his power, the twelve formation flags dissipated, and the gap in the cave mansion’s light shield closed.
To open this cave mansion’s light shield, Lin Chen lost twelve formation flags. It’s crucial to know that these formation flags were of considerable wealth to Lin Chen and required many materials to refine.
Although Lin Chen still had quite a few of these formation flags on him, twelve formed a small fortune.
Once inside the cave mansion, the light shield completely isolated this place from external pressure, instantly making Lin Chen feel incredibly relaxed.
This location is perhaps the deepest section beneath the fire sea, a depth of close to over one hundred thousand feet from the surface of the fire sea above.
Now, inside the cave mansion, under the light shield supporting the mansion, there were a total of thirty-two flying swords that emitted powerful energy, entirely fiery red, their tips pointing down, and hilts upraised.
Among the thirty-two flying swords, the one at the center was the most striking, as its body was the largest, and the fiery glow was the most intense.
These thirty-two flying swords were continuously absorbing the power of the lava flames from above, completely isolating this place from the oppressive pressure of the molten lava sea above.
Among the thirty-two flying swords, except for the one in the center, the other thirty-one reached the top seventh rank.
But the sword at the center, Lin Chen couldn’t distinguish its quality grade.
Lin Chen, at present, could barely refine seventh-rank lower-grade flying swords. His practical artifact refining skills weren’t as profound as Duan Yuanfeng’s, though in terms of refining skills and theory, he surpassed Duan Yuanfeng.
However, Lin Chen’s cultivation and available materials were limited, meaning he had never had the opportunity to refine.
So, as he looked at the central flying sword among the thirty-two, Lin Chen had a vague suspicion that this sword might have reached the divine grade.
It’s crucial to know that the only divine artifact Lin Chen possessed was the low grade Divine Fire Glazed Cup.
Thus, he remained skeptical and uncertain whether the huge flying sword before him was a divine artifact, and if so, its grade.
"Kid, you’ve got some luck! To find an innate divine artifact in a place like this, you must have stepped in something lucky to earn such good fortune." As Lin Chen was pondering the grade of the sword, a figure suddenly appeared beside him and said.
This was none other than Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit, sitting astride a small dagger, looking like a child.
"Innate divine artifact? So it is a divine artifact?"
"How is it different from the Divine Fire Glazed Cup you had me take from the grand hall in the Void Continent?" Lin Chen said, looking at Dragon Fang.
"Haha, truly an ignorant bumpkin not knowing about innate divine artifacts." Dragon Fang glanced at Lin Chen with disdain.
"I think you’ve gone too long without a beating. Hurry up and tell me, what’s the difference between an innate divine artifact and Divine Fire Glazed Cup?" Lin Chen asked.
"Humph, when have I gone too long without a beating? You think I’m really afraid of you?" Dragon Fang said, looking at Lin Chen calmly.
However, as Dragon Fang said this, he felt somewhat insecure inside because Lin Chen still didn’t know that the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron had forcibly made him sign a master-servant contract with Lin Chen.
If Lin Chen finds out and uses the contract means to restrain him, he might be subjugated by Lin Chen.
"Whatever, I might as well explain. Do you know that all artifacts from grades one to nine have distinctions?"
"And do you know what lies above the ninth grade?" Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit asked, tilting with his legs crossed, looking at Lin Chen.
Dragon Fang asked in this manner thinking Lin Chen wouldn’t know, as divine artifacts and innate divine artifacts are essentially the same; the distinction is merely terminology used by those in power.
"Above the ninth grade, isn’t it just a divine artifact? Do you really not know, asking such idiotic questions, anyone would know this, even I as a turtle know it." Before Lin Chen could answer, Little Profound Turtle stood out, looked at Dragon Fang, and said with great disdain.
