When Lin Fan jumped into the water, there was only a second where he was in the water before there was a force that pulled him under.

This force didn't pull him into the fountain, but rather a hole that was waiting for him.

As he fell into this hole, Lin Fan could feel the fluctuations of spatial laws around him. This confirmed his guess, there was something hidden in the fountain that activated spatial laws to move whoever jumped in.

But he still didn't know where this wormhole would take him.

It was just a good thing that he didn't have to wait long to see where it did take him. It was a very short fall and when Lin Fan came to the bottom of the hole, he fell out in the middle of the air.

However, with Lin Fan's reactions, it didn't take him much to do a flip in the air to negate some of the force of gravity before landing on the ground. But the same couldn't be said about Mo Ze Chen who had fallen into the wormhole before him.

Mo Ze Chen was sprawled on the ground beside him, having left a slight crater in that ground.

Mo Ze Chen might have been able to react in time if he had jumped himself, but since he had been thrown in by Lin Fan, it was a different story. Because he had been thrown in by Lin Fan, as he fell through the spatial tunnel, he was spinning again and again which made him lose all sense of direction. Once he came out of the tunnel, it was hard for him to regain his sense of direction in time, so he fell sprawled onto the ground.

But of course he was tough, so he didn't feel anything from slamming onto the ground. After a few seconds, Mo Ze Chen stood up and dusted himself off before looking around him along with Lin Fan.

What the two of them saw was a giant palace.

This was a palace that was completely underground, which could be seen by the dirt above them. The only reason they could see perfectly in this place was actually because of the ball of light that was shining above them. This was the same ball of light that had been present in the city inside of the giant glowing tree.

This palace was very big, but there weren't that many decorations on it. It was a simple black and red, instead of being gold like most palaces, but it was definitely still very awe inspiring.

That was, it was awe inspiring for most people of this universe, but for Lin Fan who came from earth, it was anything but that. To put it simply, the design of the palace seemed like something that a child who was full blown infected with Eighth Grade Syndrome would come up with…

Still, Lin Fan chose not to judge since he knew that this wasn't what he was here for.

Rather, what Lin Fan turned his eyes to was someone else who was already here ahead of him. It was someone who was sitting cross legged not that far away with someone standing over him, looking back at Lin Fan with a vigilant look.

This person was the one who had been dragged into the fountain first, it was Wang Jian from the Myriad Sword Hall.

Of course, the person that was standing guard over him was the other Myriad Sword Hall junior that had been pulled in after him.

Wang Jian was sitting down like this because he had used all his energy in his attack just now, so he was completely exhausted. Not only that, with how easily Lin Fan had dodged his attack, it had created a mental demon in his mind. If he didn't take the time to stabilize his cultivation and recover, it was very likely that his cultivation would fall from this mental demon.

After seeing that Wang Jian wasn't going to do anything, Lin Fan didn't bother with him any longer and turned away to look back at the palace.

When he saw Lin Fan turn away, the Myriad Sword Hall junior couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief. After seeing how easily Lin Fan had taken care of Wang Jian, it had left a deep impression on him and there was a bit of fear in his heart.

Lin Fan walked over to the entrance of the palace which was still firmly shut. There was also a podium that was in front of the entrance, but there wasn't a single thing that was written on it nor were there words written in a golden glow waiting for him.

Looking around, there were no entrances that were open for him at all.

It was almost like there was still something missing.

As Lin Fan was looking around, there was a sound that suddenly came from above. When Lin Fan looked up, he found that there were more people falling down from the ceiling.

Lin Fan had already moved away from where the entrance was, so they weren't right above him, but he could still see them falling from right above him. It didn't take long before they landed right where Lin Fan had been standing before.

It took them a while to get used to their new surroundings, but the first thing they saw was clearly the giant palace that was in front of them. Then the next thing they saw was Lin Fan which immediately made them raise their guard.

This man was still a mystery to them and now that they were isolated from the main group, they didn't know what he would do to them.

But it didn't matter if they raised their guard or not since Lin Fan wasn't interested in them to begin with.

Lin Fan had only turned to look at them since they had suddenly appeared, but once he knew what happened, he turned back to the palace gates and the podium in front of him. However, this time he noticed something was different.

On the gate in front of him was what he now realized was a display that seemed to have some numbers in it. When he looked carefully, he saw that the number that was being displayed was the number of people that were present. Then beside that, there was another number that was there.

It seemed that this was a display counting the number of people present, while also seeming to imply that a certain number of people was required before these doors would open…

If that was the case, how much time would they have to wait for those people to come?



Outside of this underground palace, all the young masters were still standing there looking at the fountain, hesitating on what to do.

There were a few that had jumped in to see what would happen after seeing Lin Fan jumped in, but the fact that there had been no signs afterwards made many of the other people here hesitate.

Right now, it was a complete gamble for them if they were to go into this fountain. After all, there was the chance that it had taken them to some place special with fortuitous encounters, but there was also the chance that it took them to a trap where they had all been killed…

While they were powerful experts that didn't fear death, in the face of the uncertain like this, they were definitely afraid. Dying in battle wasn't something shameful, but they weren't willing to accept dying in a trap without leaving their mark on this world.

But as more and more time passed, the young masters were more anxious because they knew that they were running out of time. Just like Lin Fan, they all knew that they were fighting the clock right now and if they didn't do anything, they would lose their chance.

So after a while, the young masters gathered together without their followers and started discussing what to do.

After a few minutes of discussing, they all went back to their own groups like they had a tacit understanding.

The followers were surprised to see the young masters come back and they were about to ask them what their next moves were when the young masters all suddenly picked up one of their followers. The other followers were surprised, but they didn't say a thing since they were just glad that it wasn't them. The one follower that was chosen all had a bad feeling and they tried to break free, but they weren't able to since they couldn't compare to these young masters.

The followers were all brought over to the fountain by the young masters and then in one fluid motion, they were all thrown into the fountain by the young masters.

The same thing that happened to the people who fell into the fountain before happened to these followers and they all disappeared without a trace.

However, when the final follower disappeared into the fountain, something strange happened. The moment the follower disappeared, the golden glow of the water suddenly disappeared as well and the fountain turned back into a normal fountain.

It was hard to miss such a big change and the young masters thought that it was a good turn for them. Perhaps this meant that the trap that was set had been filled and now they were able to move on to the next stage.

But as they waited, there was nothing that happened around them.

Finally, one of them couldn't wait any longer and went over to touch the water in the fountain, but nothing happened to that person at all.

After seeing this, the young masters all looked at each other with confused looks as they all had one thought on their minds.

Now what?
