Chen Tianwen is humiliated by his fiancée, dragged a thousand miles behind a carriage, mocked by the entire city, and the Chen family loses all face.
While serving as a slave at the Divine Sw...
As soon as Chen Tianwen entered the River Styx, he felt a bone-chilling cold.
This surprised Chen Tianwen. For him, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, to be able to feel the cold was quite unusual!
Seeing Chen Tianwen's surprised expression, Ming Qing explained:
“Mr. Chen, there’s no need to be nervous. This River Styx is a natural treasure. Not only does it form its own space, but the concentration of water element within it is also particularly suitable for our Nether Serpent clan to cultivate.”
Chen Tianwen nodded. The water of the River Styx was more of a condensation of the laws of water than a river.
However, this is not enough to explain why there was such a bone-chilling cold.
Ming Qing continued:
"Mr. Chen, you may not know this, but our Nether Serpent Clan has lived in the River Styx for generations. After some of our ancestors passed away, they would scatter the power of the laws within the River Styx for our descendants to cultivate."
Ming Qing paused, as if thinking of something, and then asked Chen Tian:
"Mr. Chen may not know this, but our Nether Serpent clan is born with two attributes: one is the Water Law of the Five Elements, and the other is a variant of the Water Law, the Ice Law!"
Chen Tianwen suddenly understood. The Nether Serpent Clan was born with the power of two laws, which was the first time Chen Tianwen had ever heard of this.
Moreover, Chen Tianwen also admired the ancestors of the Nether Serpent Clan. You see, after cultivating to a certain level, one can reincarnate with their cultivation. However, these ancestors of the Nether Serpent Clan chose to disperse their power of law, just to leave blessings for future generations.
"The Law of Ice? This place is suitable for Hua Shuang to cultivate. Hua Shuang has the Ice Saint Body, so cultivating in such a place will definitely make her twice as effective with half the effort."
Chen Tianwen had by now adapted to the biting cold around him, and thought that if Hua Shuang could cultivate here, the little girl would probably improve very quickly.
The River Styx is tens of thousands of meters deep. Under Ming Qing's guidance, Chen Tianwen successfully arrived at the bottom of the River Styx.
The pressure at a depth of tens of thousands of meters made Chen Tianwen slightly uncomfortable, but given his physical strength, this pressure was nothing.
Ming Qing also glanced at Chen Tianwen with some surprise. You should know that the Nether Serpent Clan is a divine beast race. The physical strength of divine beasts is often higher than that of cultivators. Therefore, the pressure of seawater that the Nether Serpent Clan can easily adapt to is something that ordinary cultivators cannot withstand.
Ming Qing originally wanted to use his own strength to relieve some of the pressure on Chen Tianwen, but seeing that Chen Tianwen only frowned slightly and did not show any discomfort, Ming Qing gave up.
Ming Qing slowly made several hand seals towards the seabed, and a giant cyan gate, tens of meters long, appeared in the seabed. Ming Qing led Chen Tianwen into the giant cyan gate.
As soon as he entered the room, Chen Tianwen felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
There is actually a city here that is comparable in size to Danwang City!
However, these are all domed buildings, which is quite different from the architectural style in the Flowing Wind Domain.
However, Chen Tianwen was not surprised. After all, the existence of such a sacred land of water attribute law in the Flowing Wind Domain, which is full of earth law, is ingenious in itself. The difference in architectural style is not so important.
Along the way, Chen Tianwen encountered many serpents with snake tails and human bodies. Upon seeing Ming Qing, they all respectfully prostrated themselves and bowed their heads in greeting.
Ming Qing simply nodded in acknowledgment without lingering, while many of the Nether Serpents' gazes fell upon Chen Tianwen, though they only glanced at him furtively before quickly averting their eyes.
To Chen Tianwen's surprise, he encountered no fewer than a thousand Nether Serpents along the way, and none of them were weaker than a Celestial Immortal!
Chen Tianwen even encountered several Nether Serpents at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Ming Qing explained to Chen Tianwen with some pride:
"Mr. Chen, this must be your first time dealing with the Nether Serpent Clan. We Nether Serpents are different from humans; we are all oviparous, and we possess the strength of an Earth Immortal after hatching!"
"At that time, we were all snake-shaped. After reaching the Celestial Immortal realm, we would transform into a human body with a snake tail. Only upon reaching the Golden Immortal realm could we fully transform into human form, but we couldn't maintain that form for long. Only after reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm could we maintain our human form indefinitely!"
Chen Tianwen understood. The Nether Serpent Clan was born with the strength of an Earth Immortal, and only Nether Serpents who were Heaven Immortals could reveal their human form. No wonder none of the Nether Serpents he had encountered were below the Heaven Immortal level.
The two weren't moving very fast, and there was no indication that Ming Qing was anxious to cure the patient. Instead, she kept telling Chen Tianwen about the various aspects of the Ming Snake Clan.
Chen Tianwen wasn't in a hurry, so he followed Ming Qing around.
Finally, after walking for two hours, the two arrived at a huge domed building.
"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment while I go and report to the Grand Elder."
After leading Chen Tianwen into the domed building, Ming Qing took his leave.
A Nether Serpent at the Golden Immortal realm remained, respectfully guarding Chen Tianwen's side.
Chen Tianwen looked around and found that although the buildings here were domed, once inside, they were not much different from the buildings outside.
The location where Chen Tianwen is now is like a guest room in the cultivation world!
Not long after, Ming Qing returned and said to Chen Tianwen with great apology:
“Mr. Chen, it is our Nether Serpent Clan that has been negligent. Please forgive us.”
Chen Tianwen waved his hand, not caring about these formalities.
Then, led by Ming Qing, Chen Tianwen entered a secret room.
Inside the secret chamber was only a huge jade bed, which seemed to be made of ice crystals, enveloping the already chilling chamber in a layer of frost.
On the jade bed lay a middle-aged man.
There was also an old man standing guard beside the jade bed, constantly channeling immortal energy into it.
Upon seeing Chen Tianwen enter, the old man stopped what he was doing and bowed to Chen Tianwen.
Ming Qing explained:
“Mr. Chen, this is the elder of my clan.”
The Grand Elder also spoke up:
"Please forgive me, Mr. Chen. I had to stay here to look after the clan chief, so I was unable to greet you personally. Please forgive my neglect!"
Chen Tianwen could tell that this Grand Elder's strength was above Ming Qing's, and he should be a powerful figure in the mid-stage of Immortal Lord, so he didn't dare to be arrogant and said:
"Elder, you're too kind."
The Grand Elder said to Chen Tianwen:
"Mr. Chen, you may call me Ming Quan."
Chen Tianwen naturally wouldn't address Ming Quan by his given name directly, and smiled and exchanged a few more polite words.
Then Chen Tianwen's gaze fell on the middle-aged man on the jade bed.
Ming Quan sighed and said to Chen Tianwen:
"Mr. Chen, this is my family patriarch. Thank you for your help, Mr. Chen!"
