Chapter 753
When Shui Yuncong left with his gloomy expression, Long Chen suddenly laughed, “I’m rich, I’m rich!”
Long Chen had originally been planning on trading . The only reason he had brought up so many shortcomings was to con Shui Yuncong out of more money . Guo Ran had said that he never had enough money for his use .
“You’re both a pair of old foxes,” sighed Shui Wuhen helplessly .
Previously, she had really thought Long Chen had been unwilling to trade . But now she realized that even she had been tricked by his act .
“Hehe, that old fox isn’t anything good . This Heavenly Water Pearl is something Shui Guanzhi had to have, but I also needed that World Piercing Jade Talisman . I’ve heard that the Immemorial Path is a place where the Eastern Wasteland’s peak experts will gather . It really will be very dangerous for Meng Qi!” said Long Chen .
Shui Wuhen nodded . “The danger of the Immemorial Path far surpa.s.ses that Jiuli secret realm you entered previously . That secret realm is merely a speck of dust left behind by the destruction of a world from the ancient era .
“But the Immemorial Path is a true minor world . There is a whole new set of laws there . It is rumored that the Immemorial Path possesses the foundation for a cultivator to become an immortal or G.o.d .
“Of course, the Immemorial Path has long since crumbled . It is a severed path that no one can reconnect . So no more G.o.ds or immortals ever appeared in the Martial Heaven Continent . However, the Immemorial Path is its own world, so you have to be careful . Not only do you have to be careful of the Righteous and Corrupt experts, but you have to be careful of experts from other races!”
“Other races?” asked Long Chen .
Shui Wuhen solemnly said, “Yes . The Eastern Wasteland might be a desolate place, but there are still countless sects and hundreds of races . Some of those races are even stronger than our Xuantian Dao Sect!”
“Really? They’re even stronger than the Xuantian Dao Sect?” Long Chen was shocked .
“Yes . More precisely, they’re stronger than our Eastern Wasteland’s branch sect . Our branch sect’s power is a drop in the ocean compared to the head sect in the Central Plains .
“As for those races, there are some who have inherited bloodlines from the immortal era . They rarely interact with the rest of the world . In order to keep the purity of their bloodline, they never marry outside of their race .
“There are many races, and it’s very easy to recognize them . If you can avoid it, don’t provoke them . Their clans are very protective, in addition to being domineering and unreasonable!” warned Shui Wuhen .
“As long as they don’t provoke me, I naturally won’t be so bored as to provoke them . But if they try to bully me, well, you know my temperament . If it’s bearable then I’ll bear it, but if it’s not, then there’s no way around it!” said Long Chen .
Long Chen never considered himself to be someone who provoked others . But when others provoked him, he definitely wouldn’t retreat .
The cultivation path was one where if you compromised, your enemies would continue to force you back . If you wanted dignity, then you had to reveal your fangs to show others that you weren’t prey .
“Those races possess ancient bloodlines, and they inherit special abilities . You have to be careful about them . However, it’s not the Righteous path, the Corrupt path, or those races that are the most terrifying . The most terrifying ones are the aboriginals of the Immortal Path!” Terror flashed across Shui Wuhen’s eyes .
“There are people still living there?” Long Chen was stunned .
“Yes . That place is a world that exists beside our world . It is said that those people are the earliest protectors of the Immemorial Path . But later, for some unknown reason, the Immemorial Path was destroyed and it became ownerless, becoming a separate ent.i.ty from the Martial Heaven Continent .
“The Immemorial Path is said to be the foundation to becoming an immortal or G.o.d, so countless cultivators wish to explore those mysteries inside . Every thousand years, experts will forcibly open the Immemorial Path and send their disciples in as a trial .
“Due to its destruction, the Immemorial Path was turned into quite a few separate sections . The Eastern Wasteland has an opening to one of those sections . Be careful, because when I entered the Immemorial Path, I was in a group of seven people, and we ended up running into an ambush from the aboriginals . As a result, I was the only one to escape with my life .
“The aboriginals treat the disciples undergoing the trial as invaders, as enemies . At the same time, they are also viewed as prey, and so they will slaughter you the second they see you . ”
Shui Wuhen fell back into her memories of back then . That had truly been a desperate struggle . Those aboriginals were too vicious .
“It seems that Shui Yuncong’s World Piercing Jade Talisman actually came at a perfect time . If I couldn’t find some powerful Magical Beasts, I feel like Meng Qi shouldn’t take on this danger,” said Long Chen . A Beast Tamer without powerful Magical Beasts was too weak .
“Other than those threats, the Immemorial Path itself is filled with dangers . You absolutely can’t be careless!” warned Shui Wuhen .
“Big sister, don’t worry . I’m not the kind of person who would play with my life,” laughed Long Chen .
Leaving Shui Wuhen’s residence, he returned to his own room . What Long Chen hadn’t expected was for there to be a guest waiting for him . That guest was currently chatting with Tang Wan-er .
