Chapter 86 Taking the Lead?
"Speaking of which, your father is a type of dragon, so why keep the treasure in the mountains?"
Chen Chunan initially thought the treasure might be in Pingjiang, but the road along Chimianxi led further and further west into the mountains.
"I don't know either. My memory tells me that it's a secret place, maybe there's water inside? I've been guarding it for hundreds of years but I still can't get in. Otherwise, Han Zhenjun wouldn't have said that I've always lived in seclusion in the mountains."
"Han Yuqiu hasn't been a Nascent Soul cultivator for very long, has she? When did she go to Pingjiang?"
"Right after Han Yuqiu became a Nascent Soul cultivator, that old viper accidentally discovered me and offered me two portions of the water vein's power to go to Pingjiang. I figured I couldn't get them right away anyway, so I went."
"You're so easy to fool; you were tricked out of your rights to just two portions of the water vein."
"Hmph! What do you know? Combing the water veins is a meritorious act! If I don't accumulate merit, I might not be able to transform into a dragon. Anyway, my old man didn't succeed, but the one who did, it's said, was able to enter the Spirit Void Immortal Realm."
"What's your father's cultivation level? Is he at the legendary Tribulation Transcending stage?"
"No, the Dragon Transformation Tribulation will be triggered when your cultivation reaches a certain level. If you suppress it, you can postpone it, just like that old viper. After he transformed into a viper, he dared not transform into a dragon. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to overcome it. He definitely wanted to use the merit of managing the water veins to offset his karma, but he also loved to eat people. I think he definitely won't be able to overcome it and can only be a shameless snake for the rest of his life."
"Haha, he definitely won't live a lifetime. Once True Monarch Jian Chen finishes using his divine powers, he'll have no choice but to undergo tribulation. Tribulation upon tribulation, he'll be reduced to ashes!"
"Haha, yes, yes, I'll be the Dragon King of Pingjiang then. I'm still a little excited just thinking about it."
The two laughed and joked as they approached the vicinity of the secret realm.
But as soon as they got close, they realized something was wrong. The secret realm, which was supposed to be protected by a crystal jade tablet, now had its protective crystal jade tablet clearly broken, and there were obvious signs of a battle.
Chen Chunan felt uneasy and was about to remind them that there might be a powerful enemy inside.
But Chi Mianxi's eyes lit up with surprise: "Someone helped me break this restriction!"
"Well, he not only helped you break the restriction, but now he might have also helped you retrieve the treasure your father left you."
Chen Chunan reminded him with a hint of reluctance.
Upon hearing Chen Chunan's words, Chi Mianxi laughed heartily: "The real treasure is this town-protecting stele!"
Chen Chunan's eyes widened: "Huh?"
Chi Mianxi said with certainty, "Back then, my father died during his tribulation, and all the good things on his body were destroyed. How could he have left anything for me? Only this guardian stele he used to protect the secret cave is the real treasure he left behind! The only treasure left inside is the twenty-four water-suppressing beads, which can be considered spiritual treasures, but they are completely incomparable to this guardian stele."
Chen Chunan nodded. It made sense. To hold back during tribulation would be tantamount to courting death.
Now that we've obtained the treasure, it's time to retreat.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Only those in the late Nascent Soul stage can enter this secret realm, and in Jiangzhou, only that old mudfish meets that requirement. Now that you've taken the town-suppressing stele, let's hurry up and leave. Since those twenty-four precious pearls aren't very useful, let's just forget about them; consider it a sacrifice to ward off disaster."
Chi Mianxi, having refined the town-suppressing stele, exuded confidence: "Let's go? This town-suppressing stele is the core of the restrictions in this Water Mansion Secret Realm. Today I'll show you how I deal with this scoundrel!"
Having said that, he transformed into a dragon and disappeared into the secret realm.
"Holy shit!"
Seeing that she had recklessly charged forward again, Chen Chunan couldn't help but curse and then followed her.
the other side
The viper successfully reached the depths of the secret realm.
Looking at the water palace before him, a rare look of excitement appeared in the viper's eyes.
"As expected of a treasure left behind by a Nascent Soul cultivator, it actually has three layers of protection. That bitch Chi Mianxi never dreamed that the secret she thought she was guarding had already been discovered by me long ago, right? I really wonder what kind of secret treasure it is!"
The serpent coiled its body, tightly binding the water palace, and then thrust its single horn fiercely.
The Water Palace's defenses are the weakest of the three layers of protection.
The protective array shattered as if a bubble had been popped.
With a probe of its magical power, the viper seized the treasure box in the center of the stone platform in the cave, then laughed, "Haha, the treasure left behind by a Nascent Soul cultivator is now mine!"
Just as he was about to open the treasure box, he discovered a man and a dragon who had entered the secret realm.
"Hahaha, what a day it is today! We just obtained a lost treasure, and now our enemies are coming to their deaths! It's truly a double celebration! Apart from the two of you, let's see if the three upper sects dare to say no to this Dragon King!"
Having learned its lesson from Chen Chunan's Five Elements Spirit Banner, the viper has now become much more cunning.
With a single display of his supernatural powers, the vast waters instantly covered the entire secret realm.
Chen Chunan and Chi Mianxi both sensed that something was wrong.
"Damn it, this stupid woman has led us into a ditch! This seems to be that old mudfish's magic!"
Chen Chunan felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that today was likely to be a tough battle.
Chi Mianxi naturally discovered that the viper had used the Canglang Water Area, but having already obtained the core of the secret realm formation, she was not afraid at all.
Before the viper could make any further moves, Chi Mianxi threw the town monument in his hand.
It then transformed into a massive, glazed jade stele, upon which countless runes appeared.
The next moment, it transformed into a shooting star and struck the viper.
"Ah~ you bitch, what did you use to hurt me?"
The viper was hit on the forehead by a stone tablet, and it felt as if its head was about to split open.
Chi Mianxi was overjoyed: "You rascal, today I'll show you what a powerful lady I am!"
Having obtained the Glazed Jade Tablet, Chi Mianxi trembled with excitement, using two honorific titles on herself in one breath.
Unfortunately, his boasting far exceeded his actual capabilities.
The viper flashed, leaving only its molted skin behind, while its true form vanished instantly from Chi Mianxi's sight.
Upon seeing the snake disappear, Chen Chunan's alarm bells rang, and he immediately unleashed the Five Elements Flag, completely covering himself.
Just as the great formation was raised, a drop of gray water quietly appeared on it.
It was just a tiny drop, yet it caused the entire formation to teeter on the brink of collapse.
"Chimianxi, are you even up to par?! Even the old mudfish has escaped!"
Chi Mianxi was greatly embarrassed: "Wait a minute, I'll suppress it right now!"
Chen Chunan knew that this guy was definitely unreliable. Now that the viper had targeted him first, he had to save himself.
"Change formation! The Four Symbols arise!"
Chen Chunan made hand seals, and the Five Elements Formation instantly transformed.
The viper sneered, "You're not even proficient in formations, yet you dare to show off in front of me?"
Having said that, the grayish drop of water transformed into a colossal wave that surged toward the Four Symbols Formation.
Chen Chunan suddenly laughed: "Found you! You old mudskipper! Get ready for a good beating from your grandpa!"
One after another, divine lightning bolts already contained within the Five Elements Array Flags instantly found their outlet and hurled them at the viper.
Just as Chen Chunan thought he had succeeded, a cold snort rang out from above: "A mere trick!"
A colossal serpent, hundreds of feet long, suddenly unfurled its Nine Serpent Dharma Form once more.
With a single coil, it firmly held Chen Chunan in the center, and the nine heads of the Dharma Form began to gather a clear light towards the great formation.
