583 Underground River (2/2)

”Such a frightening gravitational pull.” The ancient martial art practitioners that had walked into the underground river drew cold breaths one by one. It was because they discovered that the gravitational pull in the area around the underground river was much stronger than that under normal conditions. If a beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner flew above the underground river, they would most likely be pulled down into the river very quickly by the terrifying gravitational pull.

The ancient martial art practitioner had fallen straight into the underground river because he was flying above it and could not withstand the astonishing gravitational pull.

After a while, another scream was heard. Another ancient martial art practitioner could be seen directly plunging into the river. After the scream was released, water splashed and blood spurted out from the bottom of the river. Then, everything became calm once again. Exactly as before, another ancient martial art practitioner had lost his life.

”Such frightening gravitational pull,” an ancient martial art practitioner shouted loudly, with a terrified expression. ”It is practically impossible for an ordinary beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner to cross the river.” The man remained flying in midair but his body was slowly descending. He was shaking and seemed to be unable to keep it up for much longer. Soon, he would end up the same as the other two ancient martial art practitioners.

He shouted in terror, not daring to continue flying forward. He turned around and frenziedly flew back. Luckily, he was not far from shore. Before he fell into the river, he managed to successfully escape.

Some of the ancient martial art practitioners who had been among the first to leave began to fly back after realizing the danger. No one wanted to fall into the river and die a meaningless death.

Of course, there were also a few ancient martial art practitioners with rich cultivation who believed that they could withstand the gravitational pull in the space above the underground river. Not only did they not turn back, they decisively flew forwards swiftly.

The members of Intentionless Sect and the rest who had just come over had serious expressions. Although the Cold Wave had receded, the underground river most likely still hid some unknown dangers.

”Little friend Mo Wen, I should be able to cross the river.” Chen Wuhui's gaze was directed at Mo Wen. His eyes had a look that sought Mo Wen's opinion. He felt Mo Wen was more and more mysterious and incredulous, like a fog. So, he was not certain whether Mo Wen could cross the river. Although Mo Wen had displayed sufficiently powerful ability before this, without knowing exactly what he was capable of, Chen Wuhui was still worried.

There were a few intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners in front that had kept flying forward without turning back that had not fallen into the river. So, Chen Wuhui concluded that the gravitational pull above the underground river would most likely not affect him.

In terms of cultivation, his was far superior to other common intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. His cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the intermediate stage.

”Old Grandfather Chen, do not worry. With my ability, I can cross this river without any problems.” Mo Wen nodded. He had merely taken a glance at the underground river and he had figured things out. His physical strength was not very helpful in his flying, but with his cultivation, which had reached the edge of the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm, and some tricks, he would most likely not have any problem crossing the river.

Upon hearing his response, Chen Wuhui nodded. Then, he looked at Xia Kunqian, saying, ”Elder Xia, this trip is dangerous and I am afraid that we might get into accidents. How about you stay here and coordinate the situation?” Chen Wuhui's wished to advise Xia Kunqian to not cross the river and instead to wait for them in the cave. Even though Xia Kunqian was the eldest elder of the Intentionless Sect and his cultivation was far stronger than that of other common beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners, nobody knew how much danger was hidden in the underground river. Making Xia Kunqian stay could perhaps save his life.

Chen Zikuang, he didn't say anything to his son. Chen Zikuang's ability was far above Xia Kunqian's; furthermore, he carried a few powerful sect treasures with him. Chen Zikuang would most likely be able to save himself.

”I'll follow whatever the sect leader orders.” Xia Kunqian bowed slightly. He didn't reject Chen Wuhui's order. In reality, he knew that with his ability, he would most likely die if he ventured into such a dangerous place. He could relax and be safe staying away from the danger.

”Since we have decided, let's explore this underground river.” Chen Zikuang was excited to explore the underground river. His cultivation was only inches away from the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm. In terms of combat ability, his ability was no less than that of common intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm practitioners. A dangerous place like this would be a perfect training ground for him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zikuang dashed into the underground river with a flash of his silhouette. He had the Great Mountain Inkstone, a spiritual weapon in his hand. He waved his sleeves and strode deep into the underground river. His manner was imposing and he moved swiftly like a deity. His figure formed a vivid contrast with those ancient martial art practitioners who were crossing the river carefully.

”Brat, would it kill you if you don't show off? After this, if you suffer losses, don't scream for help.” Chen Wuhui cursed under his breath. His silhouette flashed past and he quickly followed Chen Zikuang. The old man was naturally scared that something would happen to his only son; therefore, he followed closely behind his son to protect him.

Mo Wen smiled. With a wave of his sleeves, he took a step and his figure appeared above the underground river.

As expected, the gravitational pull above the underground river was not normal, equal to ten times that of the outside. Even a beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner could not fly under such a gravitational pull. No wonder ancient martial art practitioners had kept falling into the river.

However, it was not a problem for Mo Wen. It wasn't just thanks to his cultivation. Ever since he had practiced the Glory of Wind, he was like a gust of wind, transforming into the wind and moving swiftly at all times. He could skillfully dissipate half of the gravitational pull exerted on him. Even with his Embryonic Breathing realm cultivation, he would most likely be able to cross the river easily, let alone with his current cultivation.

Only when he flew into the space above the underground river did Mo Wen discover that the river below was crystal clear. It kept releasing a chill to the outside, causing the surrounding environment to be far colder than the outside. Even though right now it was considered the Cold Receding Period, it was four or five times colder than the outside.

In the river, dark shadows flickered. They seemed to be fish but did not look like fish. They could well be special monstrous beasts. Without a doubt, those ancient martial art practitioners that had fallen into the river had all perished because of the dark shadow creatures in the water.
