Chapter 1359: Chapter 683: Narrowly Escaping Rebound

Lin Beichen pondered for a moment, then slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out a pale blue talisman paper. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Unlike the common yellow talisman paper, this pale blue talisman paper contained a special power.

In the world of Daoism, the color of talisman paper often signifies its unique use and power. And this pale blue talisman paper was a Divine Talisman capable of summoning Celestial Thunder.

Gazing at the evil altar before him, Lin Beichen understood that countless grievances and evils must have gathered upon it.

Trying to destroy it by force might not only prove unsuccessful but could also backfire and cause harm to oneself.

Moreover, there was an eerie aura emanating from this pit itself, and Lin Beichen was unwilling to descend into that unknown depth.

Therefore, using the Celestial Thunder Talisman to destroy this altar was undoubtedly the wisest choice.

Lin Beichen glanced around, and after confirming nothing was amiss, he began to silently recite the Daoist incantation. His voice was deep and powerful, as if communicating with the mysterious forces of the universe.

In this secret chamber, who knows how many had tragically died unfairly. Their innocent lives were taken by those harboring malicious intent, seeking to ascend to immortality through trampling on others’ lives.

A surge of intense sorrow and indignation rose in Lin Beichen’s heart. He secretly vowed to annihilate these evil forces completely and bring justice to those innocent lost souls.

After completing the prayer, Lin Beichen suddenly opened his eyes, which shimmered with a resolute light. He realized that he had to act immediately and couldn’t let the Ghost Refining Technique persist in harming more people.

However, just as he was about to activate the Celestial Thunder Talisman to completely destroy the wicked altar, a gust of Yin wind suddenly swept through. Lin Beichen couldn’t help but furrow his brow, filled with doubt. He had clearly altered the Feng Shui layout of the chamber, so there shouldn’t have been any Yin Qi present. Yet, where did this Yin wind originate from?

"Something’s off..." Lin Beichen muttered to himself. His vigilance was high, and not the slightest anomaly escaped his attention.

At that moment, a soft woman’s laugh suddenly echoed. This laugh appeared particularly abrupt amidst the silent chamber, causing Lin Beichen’s heart to tighten suddenly. He looked around but found no trace of anyone. Could this laughter be coming from the depths of that pit?

Lin Beichen dared not be careless, immediately heightening his alertness, scanning his surroundings to locate the source of the laughter. Yet, all around was silent, besides the occasional laughter, no other sound was heard.

Then, the laughter resounded again, seemingly clearer than before. Lin Beichen looked towards the direction of the laughter, and saw it came from near the altar he was about to destroy!

Startled, he quickly scrutinized that direction. In the dark corner of the pit, he vaguely saw the outline of a door. This door’s appearance left Lin Beichen stunned, unable to regain his senses for a moment. Why would there be a door built in the pit? What was the purpose of this door? And where did that woman’s laughter come from?

Lin Beichen was filled with doubts and wariness. He knew well that as someone of the Daoist family, he couldn’t stand idly by when encountering someone in suffering.

Moreover, if there were any innocent people trapped here due to the Ghost Refining Technique behind this door, he couldn’t just ignore it.

However, on the other hand, Lin Beichen was also aware that what might be behind this door might not be human.

If he acted rashly, it could lead to even greater trouble. After contemplating back and forth, Lin Beichen decided to investigate first.

Hence, he began searching the secret chamber for a way to descend into the pit. Since someone was able to get down into the pit, there had to be a way down. But after searching around, he found no mechanism or passageway.

This left Lin Beichen somewhat troubled. Leaping down from here would surely result in injury, despite his knowledge of Daoist skills. And if there was someone behind that door, then how would he bring them back up?

As Lin Beichen was at a loss, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of white.

The white was faintly visible, hard to detect in the dim secret chamber. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a thread-like object dangling from the ceiling of the room.

Lin Beichen looked up, only to see a giant black spider perched on the ceiling. Judging by its appearance, it didn’t seem to be awake. If it were truly awake, it should have already reacted to the large commotion in the chamber earlier.

And from the spider’s abdomen, three faintly visible silk threads extended into the pit.

Seeing this sight made Lin Beichen happy. Although he didn’t know how those practicing Ghost Refining Technique descended into the pit, for him, these three silk threads were undoubtedly the perfect tools to explore the truth behind that door.

However, the position of these three threads posed a dilemma. They were situated in the center of the pit, with the giant black spider hovering right above on the ceiling.

Touching the threads from the altar seemed almost impossible, not to mention using the threads to descend into the pit.

The only way was to climb onto the ceiling and leap from a position closer to the giant black spider to grab the threads. This way, he could smoothly slide down to the pit using the threads’ strength.
