"Damn it, he actually jumped." Lu Feiyu said with an ugly expression.
"What should we do? We haven't got the secret key yet, shall we go search for it?" Lin Yuyi said, looking at the Poison Mist Canyon.
"It's impossible. There is no entrance or exit to this poisonous mist valley, and it's so deep that you'll definitely die if you go down there."
"Although Zhou Chen is dead, the Zhou family doesn't know about it yet, and he may not have the secret key with him. We can think of other ways. Let's go back and discuss it in the long run."
Lu Feiyu's face was very ugly. He originally wanted to capture Zhou Chen alive and threaten the Zhou family. At this time, his plan was completely disrupted, catching him completely off guard.
…
The bottom of the poisonous fog canyon,
Two days have passed...
"I... am I dead?"
Zhou Chen felt severe pain all over his body. He couldn't even move a finger or open his eyelids. He had no strength left in his body and he was dying.
"You're not dead... You shouldn't feel any pain if you're dead. Haha, I'm afraid it's almost over. That's all. Let's end it like this."
Zhou Chen laughed at himself in his heart. Although he survived, his situation was no different from death. It was just a matter of time.
Zhou Chen thought of Qingyang City and his grandfather Zhou Zhen. How much he wanted to see his grandfather again. He had been his closest person to Zhou Town since he was a child. He took good care of him and thought about everything for his cultivation.
He found ways to obtain elixirs and spiritual materials, was injured several times and suffered some hidden illnesses, all this was for Zhou Chen. Thinking of his grandfather's kind face and kind smile, Zhou Chen's nose felt sour, his lips trembled slightly, and his lips
Tears fell down my cheeks.
Thinking that after more than half a year, he had just reaped a scam, which not only delayed his practice, but also almost put the entire family in danger, Zhou Chen felt extremely regretful, and the pain in his heart was worse than his physical pain.
For the sake of his cultivation, his grandfather did not hesitate to risk injury and sent himself to the Tianyuan Sect, hoping that one day he would be successful. However, he wasted more than half a year of cultivation time because of his stupidity. Thinking of this, Zhou Chen felt extremely self-blame and regret.
.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry... I really don't want to die like this. I really want to see you again." Zhou Chen lay there sobbing all over, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop falling.
Slowly, Zhou Chen's consciousness became more and more blurred, and his body sensation gradually disappeared. He knew that he was about to say goodbye to this world.
Farewell, grandpa!
…
Two more days have passed...
"Am I not dead yet?"
Zhou Chen felt as if he had a very comfortable sleep, and there was even a force nourishing his body. At this time, he could feel his body a little. There were many comminuted fractures on his body, and his flesh and blood were cracked.
His whole body was covered with blood scabs, and there would be bursts of severe pain if he moved even a little. The injury this time was too serious, and now he was hanging in a breath, extremely weak.
A long time passed. Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes. He felt a mysterious force slowly repairing his body. He even felt that he could sit up. Zhou Chen endured the severe pain in his body and slowly got up.
He looked around with difficulty and found that there was a pile of broken thick branches under him, with dense leaves. Looking up, there was a giant tree with a large branch broken high above his head. It seemed that
He was blocked by the branches of a giant tree growing on the cliff and was cushioned, so he didn't fall to pieces.
"Is this the bottom of the Poisonous Fog Valley?" Zhou Chen looked up at the sky. It was so gray that it was impossible to see the top of the cliff.
The bottom of the Poison Mist Valley is not filled with poisonous mist like the sky above, isolating life. Instead, it is covered with green grass and lush trees. The only problem is that there is almost no aura here. The entire canyon seems to be isolated from the outside world by the poisonous mist, and the aura is blocked.
Blocked from the outside, if this assumption is true, I'm afraid there really is no other entrance or exit to this poisonous mist canyon.
Zhou Chen sighed. Although he is not dead, the current situation is not very good. He is seriously injured and does not know how to leave here. The key is that except for the trees, there is no movement of living creatures here. Maybe it is because of the spiritual energy.
Due to scarcity, it would be difficult for living beings to survive, but that's fine, if any monster comes at this time, it can eat them.
"Boy, you're not dead? You're really lucky."
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Zhou Chen's ears.
"Who...who is talking?" Zhou Chen's pores stood up on his body and he looked around in horror.
"You kid are so scared. I'm in your belly. Look at your Dantian." The voice said again.
Zhou Chen quickly became absorbed in his body and found a black bead the size of a longan floating in his Dantian. The bead was completely black and exuded a simple and mysterious halo. There were several deep cracks on the black bead.
"This... senior is?"
"My name is Lietian, and I am called Venerable Lietian. The black pearl you see is called the Jiutian Hunyuan Pearl. This pearl was born in the past. I obtained it in a secret realm. I was surrounded and killed by everyone, and my body was destroyed.
The soul was sealed in this bead, and it took me through countless spaces. Due to the impact of the turbulent flow of space, this bead was also damaged a lot, and it has been living here for who knows how many years." Lie Tianzun said with emotion.
"This Nine Heavens Hunyuan Bead is a divine object with extraordinary origins. According to ancient books, this bead appeared when heaven and earth were born, and later followed a saint."
"Saint? What kind of realm is that?" Zhou Chen was deeply shocked. Sage sounded very powerful.
"It's useless to tell you now. You can't understand. All you need to know is that this Nine Heavens Hunyuan Pearl is a great opportunity for you. If you hope to reach that point in the future, you will naturally understand."
"Senior, you said this is my chance? Didn't you get this Nine Heavens Hunyuan Pearl?" Zhou Chen rolled his eyes and asked slyly. Although Zhou Chen was excited, he still asked tentatively.
"You kid, you don't need to test me. I only have my soul left now. I am not qualified or able to own the Nine Heavens Hunyuan Pearl. Moreover, when I got the Nine Heavens Hunyuan Pearl, I also dripped my own essence and blood, but it
It didn't choose me, so strictly speaking, it doesn't belong to me, but it may be because of this drop of essence and blood that my soul was able to enter the Nine Heavens Hunyuan Pearl at the last moment to protect my life."
"Senior, you mean it chose me? Then what should I do next?" Zhou Chen asked doubtfully.
"You kid is really lucky. If this Jiutian Hunyuan Pearl hadn't chosen to enter your body and use its little remaining power to nourish you, you would have reported to the King of Hell long ago. In the past few hundred years, you have lost everything.
I don’t know how many half-dead ones came down, and I didn’t see who it chose to save. Your luck is really enviable and jealous.” Lie Tianzun said angrily.
"The Hunyuan Pearl is in a very bad state right now. It is about to enter a deep sleep. Since it recognizes you as its master, it is up to you to restore it. You can just use spiritual energy to nourish it."
"Senior, there is no spiritual energy at the bottom of this valley. I am hanging on for half my life right now. I don't know if I can get out. How can I support him?" Zhou Chen said helplessly.
"Oh, you are so troublesome. Do you see the big tree in front? There is a stone monument at the bottom. Climb over. There is a ring below. Go and search inside to see if there are any good things left." Lie Tianzun said impatiently.
said.
Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at the big tree, which was about fifty feet away from him. He gritted his teeth, scratched the ground with his hands, dragged his body in severe pain, and slowly climbed towards the big tree.
After climbing a distance of fifty feet for a full hour, Zhou Chen was sweating profusely and exhausted. The pain in his body was a little numb. At this time, he only felt very tired.
"Hey, if it weren't for Lin Yuyi, a woman who can kill a thousand people, she wouldn't have even a single healing medicine on her body." Zhou Chen sighed in his heart.
When Zhou Chen climbed under the tree, he found the stone tablet Lie Tianzun was talking about. The stone tablet was very old and covered with dead branches and moss. There was also a skeleton next to the stone tablet, wearing a rotten and broken black robe, with fingers on
There is still a ring left.
Zhou Chen did not go directly to get the ring. Instead, he used his hands to remove the dead branches on the stone tablet and shoveled away the thick moss. A few lines of words were revealed on the stone tablet:
"My name is Xuanyuan Haotian. I come from the ancient Xuanyuan clan in the Central Continent. I was framed by my brother Xuanyuan Haoran and my reputation was ruined. He took away my wife and my succession as the head of the family. He pursued me endlessly. I finally fell here. If anyone is destined to see this, I am Xuanyuan Haotian."
Stele, I hope to bring my remains and the stele back to the Xuanyuan clan! I would like to offer here what I have collected throughout my life, thank you!"
"This Xuanyuan boy fell recently, probably less than a hundred years ago. Others who fell earlier have turned into fly ash. Hey, it's rare for someone to fall. I originally thought that I would have someone to chat with me, but unexpectedly he was there in two days.
No more." Lie Tianzun shook his head and said.
"Senior, how long have you been staying here?"
"I don't know either. I've been sleeping and waking up. It's probably eight or nine hundred years old, if not a few thousand."
Zhou Chen was speechless. No wonder this senior talked so much. It turned out that he had been holding it in for almost a thousand years.
