Chapter 858 Why is there one person missing
As time went by, more and more people crushed their jade pendants and appeared by the lake.
In just half a day, more than a dozen people could no longer hold on.
This shows how much pressure there is under the lake.
The elders were not surprised at all by this.
These people are already the elite of the outer sect, and being ranked in the top thirty shows that they are expected to enter the inner sect.
However, I could only last half a day under the lake.
Back then, a quasi-holy son in the Holy Land was granted permission to enter the Holy Lake when he was in the Imperial Realm. It is said that he went down to a depth of twenty feet and persisted for five days. At that time, it caused quite a stir in the Holy Land.
.
And these people were only a few feet deep and could barely hold on for half a day. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the difference was huge!
This is also the reason why these people are only elites from the outer sect.
However, after the elders saw the figures about ten feet away, they showed some expressions of satisfaction.
Being able to go down to ten feet and persist for so long, not to mention the future, as long as they come out of the holy lake, they can basically be selected into the inner gate.
The remaining ten or so people did not go deep, only four to five feet.
They all chose the safest depth.
Several elders also took a good look at these dozen or so people.
Obviously, these are also worthy people. Even if they are not included in the inner sect, they can still become the pillars of the outer sect.
"Hey, it's strange, why is there one person missing?"
An elder briefly counted the number of people, and was surprised to find that there were only twenty-nine people. Even one person was missing, so he exhaled softly.
After he said this, several other elders also paid attention.
"One person is really missing."
Another elder also counted the number of people and found that one person was indeed missing.
"Did an accident happen under the lake?"
One of the elders frowned.
At this moment, they were exploring the situation inside the holy lake.
In fact, this kind of situation has not never happened in the Holy Land.
The opportunity to enter the Holy Lake is too rare. Some people are not willing to waste this opportunity easily. They want to go to the limit, but unexpectedly, they ruin their lives.
Soon, they explored the location about fifteen feet away.
However, it is empty here and there is nothing foreign.
"It is estimated that the body was crushed by the holy lake and no bones were left."
An elder sighed.
In the holy lake, if it cannot bear the pressure, the body will explode in an instant and no bones will be left. It does not seem impossible.
"Huh?"
After these elders made such a fuss, Deacon Lin also noticed that one person was indeed missing.
After he confirmed again and again, he discovered that the missing person seemed to be Qin Yichen!
"There are no bones left?"
He doesn't believe it.
If it were another disciple, he might believe it.
But, that was Qin Yichen.
With the initial cultivation level of the Imperial Realm, he defeated Qin Yichen who was Yi Buyan at that time.
He continued to look.
Sixteen feet...
Seventeen feet...
Twenty feet...
Deeper and deeper, Deacon Lin's heart sank little by little.
Twenty feet!
At the beginning, the quasi-holy son only reached this depth.
Therefore, the only glimmer of luck that Deacon Lin had in his heart was shattered.
This shows that it is possible that Qin Yichen was too arrogant and went too deep, so he encountered misfortune...
"That's not right. Although his physique is not as good as that of a Venerable, it is at least half a Venerable. Even if his body explodes, there should not be any bones left."
Just when Deacon Lin was about to give up the search, he suddenly thought that Qin Yichen's physique was unusual.
Perhaps, after the body exploded, no flesh and blood remained, but its skeleton was equivalent to the level of half a deity, how could it be possible that not even the bones were left?!
It's about twenty feet long, and the pressure is huge, but it's not to the point where it can crush even half-level bones into powder.
He continued to investigate further.
Twenty-two feet...
Twenty-five feet...
Twenty-eight feet...
"That...that's..."
When he explored the depth of twenty-eight feet, he saw a looming figure sitting there cross-legged.
Then, he continued to go deeper.
"It's Qin Yichen!"
Deacon Lin suddenly exclaimed, his eyes filled with horror, as if he had seen a ghost, and the look on his face was even more indescribable.
"Qin Yichen?"
The elders of the inner sect who had stopped investigating for a long time couldn't help but look at him when they heard his exclamation.
"Qin Yichen, it seems like I have heard of it somewhere..."
One elder frowned slightly and thought for a moment.
He seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Qin Yichen killed Yi Buyan, and then defeated Yu Qing, who was at the half-level. This was not a glorious thing for Beihaodian, so even if there were occasional rumors, they were quickly suppressed.
.
"Is it the newcomer who killed Yi Buyan?"
On the edge of the lake, an outer disciple who was injured all over his body said in surprise.
After his reminder, everyone was impressed.
However, the expressions of the inner sect elders were a little bad.
They have heard of Yi Wuyan's name.
After all, he was almost accepted as a disciple by the master of Beihao Palace.
Only then did they remember why they felt familiar with the name Qin Yichen.
However, there have been rumors that Qin Yichen has entered the Dan Palace, but he did not expect to come here.
You must know that entering the Holy Lake has great benefits, but not everyone can bear the pain and torture.
And since Qin Yichen can enter the Alchemy Hall and is recognized by the old guys in the Alchemy Hall, it shows that his talent in alchemy is excellent.
Alchemists have always been superior to warriors.
As for warriors, they are even called barbarians and savages by alchemists.
They only need to refine elixirs, and there is no need to come to the Holy Lake to undergo such labor.
"You mean, that man is still in the holy lake?"
An inner sect elder subconsciously asked Deacon Lin, but his face showed disbelief.
He explored to a depth of fifteen feet, but there was no one there, so how could he still say he was inside?
"Reporting to the elder, yes, he is still in the holy lake."
Deacon Lin withdrew his gaze and answered respectfully, but his tone was trembling, indicating that he was extremely excited.
"How is this possible?"
The elder didn't believe it. After exploring to a depth of twenty feet, it was still empty. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at Deacon Lin.
"Elder, he is at the position of thirty feet..."
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Deacon Lin couldn't help but remind them.
In fact, if he didn't know Qin Yichen so well, he wouldn't have been able to detect that depth.
Thirty feet!
Even those who are powerful in the Venerable Realm may find it difficult to reach that depth.
When he thought again that Qin Yichen had persisted at that depth for half a day, Deacon Lin was even more shocked.
This is simply not human!
