Chapter 87 Meeting an Old Acquaintance in a Foreign Land
A secret realm a thousand miles away
A barren slope
Chen Chunan and Chi Mianxi lay head to head together.
Chen Chunan gasped for breath: "Heh heh... Chi Mianxi, if I ever trust you again, I'm a dog!"
Chi Mianxi rolled over and looked pitifully at Chen Chunan, saying, "I didn't mean to, who knew that scoundrel snake was so powerful, and had a snake skin that could block the monument. I promise it won't happen again."
"You want a next time? Next time I won't care about you, I'll just run away!"
Recalling the terrifying moment just now, Chen Chunan still felt a chill run down his spine.
It's unclear how many snake molts that old mudfish had, but both of their methods were transferred to others.
Chen Chunan, however, took a heavy hit from the Nine-Headed Serpent Dharma Form.
Fortunately, he had already transformed into the Five Virtues and his five internal organs had nurtured spirits, which greatly increased the power of the Five Elements Array Flags. With the protection of the Yang Talisman, he barely managed to survive.
If it weren't for not wanting to eat at Chi Mianxi's feast, Chen Chunan would have already used the Yang Talisman to run away.
At this point, Chi Mianxi was clearly in the wrong, so she naturally had no choice but to beg for forgiveness.
Chen Chunan glanced at Chi Mianxi and said, "I'm too tired. Let me ride back."
Chi Mianxi's breath hitched. She was to be ridden before she took the treasure, and she was to be ridden again after she took it!
Didn't we just get this treasure for nothing?
But it was indeed Chen Chunan who had risked his life to save her, so Chi Mianxi, with a pained expression, transformed into her real form and lay down beside him.
Chen Chunan's eyes lit up, and he scrambled up on top of her, wrapping his arms around Chi Mianxi's neck and saying, "Hurry, hurry! Giddy up!"
With that "Giddy up!", Chi Mianxi jerked her head back, wanting to give Chen Chunan a headbutt: Did he really think of himself as a mount?
Chen Chunan quickly reached out and pressed down on him: "Stop fooling around, let's go! If we don't leave now and that old mudfish catches up with us, we'll both be done for today!"
The man and the dragon retreated swiftly, and not long after, a loud explosion echoed from the secret realm a thousand miles away.
A viper with only a sliver of skin and flesh left of its tail crawled out, its eyes blazing with fire.
Before the old wounds had even healed, a new one appeared today.
"Late Sleeping Creek! You bitch! I'll eat you alive!"
After roaring angrily, the viper transformed into a streak of black light and shot towards Pingjiang, thousands of miles away.
At this moment, Pingjiang also welcomed a new guest.
...
Pingjiang Water Mansion
The black snakehead was accompanying a stranger as they wandered around, attracting curious glances from many water monsters along the way.
"When will the Dragon King return?"
"My elder brother has gone to retrieve the treasure. He should be back today if things go smoothly, so please don't worry, Fellow Daoist Jiao."
The dragon's eyes gleamed with curiosity: "What kind of treasure is it that warrants the Dragon King's personal trip?"
The black goby's eyes gleamed with pride: "It's said to be a treasure left behind by a Nascent Soul dragon."
Upon hearing this, the dragon was taken aback.
Although he inherited the true dragon's legacy, he didn't have any suitable magical treasures and had always relied on his own supernatural powers and physical body.
It was only after killing two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Middle Domain that he obtained three spiritual treasures while "disposing of" two storage rings.
But those were only suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators; he had never seen a magic weapon at the Deity Transformation level.
"I initially thought the Pingjiang Dragon King was nothing special, but now it seems he's not to be underestimated. However, everyone in this underwater palace is burdened with karmic debts, and I fear that the viper's karma is even heavier. It might even perish during its dragon transformation tribulation, at which point the water veins I've prepared can be mine!"
The dragon changed its mind and continued its conversation with the black snakehead.
The viper suffered another minor loss and returned to its underwater palace with a gloomy expression.
Upon his return, he overheard the fish, shrimp, turtles, and monsters discussing the newly arrived dragon, and he was instantly overjoyed.
"That dragon arrived really fast! But faster is better than slower. Once my injuries are fully healed, the three sects will perish!"
With a thought, the viper transformed into human form, put on a warm smile, and walked into the water palace.
"Hahaha, this must be Fellow Daoist Jiao! We've been waiting for you."
The viper strode into the water palace and immediately locked onto the dragon's figure.
"A body brimming with pure spiritual energy? What a naive wild dragon! But why couldn't it join the Seven Immortal Islands?"
Upon hearing the voice, the dragon also locked onto the person who had just entered the water palace: "A viper? Such heavy karma! No wonder even a dragon dares not transform into one, yet this one dares to presume to call himself the Dragon King? Humph."
But it didn't show it on its face, and said with a smile, "I am honored by your high regard, fellow Daoist! However, Fellow Daoist Black Snake said you went to retrieve the treasure, how come you were injured?"
The stench of blood emanating from the viper was impossible to miss, so it asked a question.
The viper's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "After retrieving the treasure, I encountered two more adversaries. I intended to subdue them, but I didn't expect that in just two months, they've become even more powerful. It's also my fault for being blind; I failed to recognize that the town-suppressing stele was also a valuable treasure. Truly, a pearl has been cast before swine!"
"Was it inflicted by the Extreme Yin True Lord?"
"It's not the extreme Yin, it's that Chilong. The treasure I took was left behind by her father, who failed to transform into a dragon. But if it were just her, she wouldn't be a problem. That human named Chen Chunan is truly terrifying; his cultivation has progressed at an unbelievable speed! His Five Elements Flag..."
The dragon didn't hear a word the viper said afterward; it was only thinking that the name might be the one it knew.
When I first met him, he was still a minor Qi cultivator.
When they met again at Tianmu Mountain, the power within him was already comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.
Even it, having received the true dragon's inheritance, was somewhat shocked by such a speed of cultivation.
He had been warned by himself and had hidden himself. Could it be that he had really come to Pingjiang?
The dragon's eyes flashed, and it feigned concern, saying, "Are all human Golden Core cultivators this terrifying? If he succeeds in transforming into a Nascent Soul in time, won't we be at his mercy? It seems this child must not be allowed to live!"
Upon hearing this, the viper felt much more at ease: "This person's image is right here. Fellow Daoist, please take a look. If you encounter him in the future, you must eliminate him! I am injured today, so I must excuse myself for now."
After the viper finished speaking, a beam of light revealed Chen Chunan's face.
Upon seeing this, the dragon's heart was in turmoil, and it could not calm down for a long time.
"Looks like I need to find an opportunity to meet with Chen Chunan and see what's going on. Things seem a bit complicated in Pingjiang! This kid's gotten involved!"
On the other side, the viper, who was preparing to go into seclusion to heal its wounds, remembered the treasure it had obtained today and couldn't help but prepare to open it to see what it was.
With a slight infusion of the viper's magic power, the brocade box opened with a "snap," revealing twenty-four bead-shaped magical treasures and a jade slip inside.
The viper felt uneasy as soon as it saw the bead.
This is just an ordinary set of spiritual treasures, not worthy of a Nascent Soul cultivator's status.
"Could the real treasure be the jade slip?"
The viper suppressed the bad premonition that was rising in his heart and poured his magic power into the jade slip again.
With a whoosh, a figure appeared before the serpent: "My son, Mianxi, I don't know if I will succeed in this tribulation, but I must do my utmost. Therefore, I cannot leave you anything. If I fail, do not blame your father... When you reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, you will be able to open this secret realm and see this jade slip I left behind... Finally, I have only one piece of advice for you: Do not trust your mother's clan! Never, ever trust them! Remember!"
The viper stared at the image before it, its two eyes gradually becoming dull.
Is this the treasure I obtained after breaking through three restrictions with great effort?
