Upon hearing Chen Tianwen's words, Envoy Cui became somewhat agitated, but mindful of his status, he suppressed his emotions and spoke to Chen Tianwen with a hint of concern:
"Mr. Chen, are you overworking yourself?"
Chen Tianwen naturally understood Cui Shengshi's insincerity. Although he appeared to care about him, he was actually afraid that his current strength as a mid-stage Golden Immortal would affect his alchemy skills.
However, Chen Tianwen didn't care about these things. Anyway, his current goal was to leave the Xuanwu Secret Realm. If he wanted to help Cui Shengshi refine immortal pills, Chen Tianwen already had those immortal herbs in reserve, so there was no need to enter the Xuanwu Secret Realm.
The reason Chen Tianwen was in such a hurry to leave the secret realm was twofold: firstly, there was nothing left in the secret realm that he could cherish; and secondly, he was eager to refine the lightning-struck divine wood and master the laws of wood as soon as possible.
The longer time went on, the more Chen Tianwen understood the importance of his own strength.
If Chen Tianwen recovers his strength, then he won't need to use any tricks when facing Cui Xiangdong.
Even if Chen Tianwen possessed the strength of a Celestial Lord now, he wouldn't need to worry so much about Cui Shengshi.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianwen spoke to Envoy Cui:
"To be honest, Envoy Cui, I am also collecting immortal herbs to restore myself. However, with my current strength, I can help you refine immortal pills, but it's a bit inconvenient in this secret realm!"
Chen Tianwen's assurance put Cui Shengshi at ease.
This trip not only allowed me to advance to the late stage of Immortal Lord, but also eliminated the aftereffects in my body. It was truly a double blessing!
No, there's also the fact that I met Chen Tianwen, the Pill Emperor. This is a triple blessing!
However, Chen Tianwen's statement that the elixir could only be refined after leaving the secret realm made Envoy Cui hesitate.
Although Envoy Cui had explored the depths of the secret realm during this time, he did not find the Xuanwu Divine Beast inheritance he had imagined.
Envoy Cui didn't believe that the Xuanwu Divine Beast would leave behind a secret realm without leaving behind any inheritance!
Although Envoy Cui reaped considerable rewards in the secret realm, this was the secret realm of an ancient divine beast, and what he had gained was hardly befitting the identity of the Xuanwu divine beast.
However, Cui Shengshi was also somewhat impatient to get rid of the aftereffects in his body as soon as possible.
Seeing the conflicted expression on Cui Shengshi's face, Chen Tianwen understood the crux of the matter and secretly gave the Nether Serpent Clan Chief a wink.
The wisdom of the Nether Serpent Clan Chief naturally made it clear that Chen Tianwen wanted to leave the secret realm, while Envoy Cui wanted to continue searching for the inheritance.
At this moment, Chen Tianwen gave him a wink, wanting him to find a way to make Cui Shengshi give up on the inheritance.
Then the chieftain of the Nether Serpent Clan walked over and said to Envoy Cui:
“Envoy Cui, we have searched the entire secret realm. It seems there is no point in staying here any longer!”
Having received approval from the Nether Serpent Clan Chief, Envoy Cui, somewhat angered, and since the matter was already out in the open, directly stated:
"The Xuanwu divine beast couldn't have created this secret realm just to protect these immortal herbs, could it?"
The chieftain of the Nether Serpent Clan smiled and said to Envoy Cui:
“Envoy Cui, whatever our ancestors’ considerations may have been, this is the reality before us.”
Envoy Cui snorted coldly, knowing that things couldn't continue like this, but he was also unwilling to leave. So, after thinking for a moment, Envoy Cui spoke:
"Three more days, let's search for three more days. If we don't find anything new, we'll leave the secret realm!"
This can be considered Cui Shengshi's last act of defiance.
Just as the chieftain of the Dark Serpent Clan said, no matter how unbelievable it may seem, the facts are undeniable.
Moreover, even if Envoy Cui was eager to get rid of the aftereffects, he wouldn't mind having three more days, so he decided to try his luck again during these last three days.
Chen Tianwen did not refute Cui Shengshi's words. If he couldn't even wait three days, it would make him seem too impatient and easily arouse Cui Shengshi's suspicion.
Since Bai Ze hasn't returned yet, it won't matter if we wait for three more days.
So everyone nodded in agreement.
During these three days, apart from Envoy Cui, everyone else was not very interested and simply followed behind Envoy Cui, letting him explore the secret realm.
Envoy Cui felt helpless. If the Xuanwu Divine Beast had really left behind some tricks, then with his Immortal Lord level, it would indeed be difficult for him to discover anything.
However, if the Xuanwu Sacred Beast is set up too secretly, then leaving anything behind will not be conducive to its inheritance!
After much thought, Envoy Cui gradually came to believe that there might really be nothing left in this secret realm!
...
"Black Tortoise".
Bai Ze's expression remained calm, but his voice trembled slightly as he spoke, clearly indicating that his emotions were not as composed as his face suggested.
Xuanwu laughed heartily and pointed at Bai Ze, saying:
"When did you become so sentimental? Is this still the Bai Ze I know? Let me tell you, don't give me that 'life and death' stuff, I'm not that dramatic."
Bai Ze remained silent.
Bai Ze and Xuanwu talked for a long time, but Bai Ze also knew that it was time to part ways!
Moreover, both Bai Ze and Xuanwu knew in their hearts that this parting would mean never having the chance to meet again.
That's why Bai Ze was so sad. Xuanwu, on the other hand, was quite relieved. He didn't have much time left in the world anyway, and now, on the eve of his passing, he was able to see his old friend again and hear from his old friend about the possibility of becoming a god. Xuanwu was very gratified.
On the one hand, it was to make Chen Tianwen happy, and on the other hand, it was to make Bai Ze happy.
Xuanwu understood Bai Ze's obsession, and now that Bai Ze had found his goal, Xuanwu was genuinely happy for him.
That's why Xuanwu still had the mood to tease Bai Ze.
Bai Ze smiled slightly, patted Xuanwu on the shoulder, turned and left, not even having the courage to look back at Xuanwu one last time.
Xuanwu watched his old friend leave, sighed softly, and slowly disappeared into the secret realm.
"The art of feigning death!"
Xuanwu let out a soft shout and entered a state of suspended animation once again. In this state, he could at least protect the secret realm for another hundred years.
...
Although Envoy Cui was very unwilling, he still gained nothing after three days, so he had no choice but to lead his men out of the secret realm.
At the same time, both the Nether Serpent Clan Chief and the Black Tortoise Clan Chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This calamity for their clans had finally passed!
Feeling the long-awaited sunshine outside, Chen Tianwen was in a great mood.
As soon as they left the secret realm, Envoy Cui impatiently teleported everyone to the territory of the Nether Serpent Clan and asked Chen Tianwen to begin refining pills.
Chen Tianwen said to Envoy Cui:
"Envoy Cui, I, Chen, have a request!"
