Everything he was worried about did not appear. Nothing happened the entire way down.

Even though the chamber was dark and devoid of light, it was not damp. It seemed that the person who had opened the chamber had set up a very good air vent.

The underground chamber wasn't that big. It was only ten meters in radius, and it was enough for closed-door cultivation.

At the top of the secret room, a luminous pearl was emitting a warm and white light, causing the secret room to not be as dark as the passageway.

Ling Yun walked down the stairs, and looked at the secret room vigilantly. After seeing the situation inside, he could not help but be stunned.

Borrowing the dim light from the Night Pearl, one could see that inside the secret room, there was a round table made of Profound Crystal Jade with a radius of one meter in front of him.

The middle-aged man did not emit any life force. His breathing had long since stopped, and he had already passed away.

Even so, his body did not have the slightest trace of decay. It was perfectly preserved, and his skin was as tender as a youth's.

The aura that faintly emanated from his body was even more terrifying. It was like a deep abyss or a sea, and the aura was like a mountain or a mountain. A faint sense of oppression was emitted from the corpse.

"Martial Saint Expert!" Ling Yun was startled. He felt a trace of holy aura from this middle-aged man and immediately shook his head. "No, that's not right. This man is not a Martial Saint. He is only half a step away from the Martial Saint stage. He hasn't experienced the baptism of the divine tribulation."

Martial Saints not only had to reach a certain level of comprehension towards the Heavenly Dao Laws and reach the Spiritual Aura cultivation base, the most important part was that they had to establish their Dao Foundation, transcend the divine tribulation, and receive the baptism of the heaven and earth before they could be called true Martial Saints.

The so-called Quasi-Saint realm merely meant that one's Spiritual Qi had reached the Martial Saint realm. However, the Spiritual Qi had yet to integrate with the Heavenly Dao Laws and did not transform into a stronger and more powerful Holy Qi.

This was the weakest quasi-Saint, and the stronger quasi-Saint had already reached the second step. They had reached a certain degree of comprehension of the Heavenly Dao Laws and had even fused them into the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Dao.

Having stepped into this level, although the spiritual energy had not yet been converted into holy qi, it had already started to transform. Its strength had greatly increased, and it had undergone a tremendous change.

As for the third step, it was the closest to the quasi-Saint level of the Martial Saint Realm. He had already formed his Tao root and could attract divine retribution at any time. After that, he would be baptized by the heavens and earth, becoming a true Martial Saint.

The middle-aged man in front of him was halfway between the second and third step and was trying to form his Dao Foundation. Unfortunately, he was very unlucky. He failed at forming his Dao Foundation and perished.

Lingyun's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, this man was an extremely powerful quasi-Saint, he must have a lot of treasures on him!

However, he did not act rashly. His opponent was a semi-sage expert. Even if he did something to his body before he died, it could easily take his life.

Gazing fixedly at the middle-aged man, he noticed that the middle-aged man seemed like a living person from the outside, and there weren't any traces of injuries on his body.

However, Lingyun was not an ordinary person. In his previous life, he had experienced this step of the middle-aged man's. Naturally, he knew the dangers of forming his Tao Foundation.

He could keenly see that at the heart area of the middle-aged man's chest, his clothes were slightly yellow, as if they had been burned.

"He failed to condense Fire Elemental Power!" Ling Yun's eyes flickered. He understood the reason behind the middle-aged man's death. Heart was fire, and this middle-aged man was obviously unable to control himself as he was being burned by the fire.
