Jiang Chen and Nangong Wentian quietly waited in the dimensional tunnel with the bronze plate acting as a guide. They were moving forward along with the dimensional force.
"Little Chenzi, how long will it take for us to reach the Southern Continent?"
Nangong Wentian asked.
"From the Eastern Continent to the Southern Continent is a huge domain. Even if we use the Spatial Teleportation Formation, it will still take us two hours. However, the spatial tunnel here is very sturdy, it should be able to last until we reach the Southern Continent."
Jiang Chen said.
"Just four hours? Damn it! Back then, I spent god knows how long rushing to the Eastern Continent. I nearly lost my life in the process. It's still better to have a Teleportation Matrix."
Nangong Wentian sighed. Compared to the Spatial Teleportation Formation, his flying speed was pitifully slow.
"Ah Nan, tell me about your Nangong family."
Jiang Chen asked with interest. Since he had decided to help Nangong Wentian, he needed to know more about the Nangong family.
"Our Nangong family hasn't been in the Eastern Continent for a long time. Our foundation is not as deep as the other major powers. According to my dad, our family only has a history of a hundred years."
Nangong Wentian said.
"A hundred years?"
Jiang Chen was startled for a moment. He had always been touched by the words' one hundred years'. It seemed like the great changes that happened in the Saint Origin Realm had only started one hundred years ago. It was exactly because he had slashed the heavens with his sword and opened the door to the Realm of Immortals that the barrier of the Saint Origin Realm had changed. Because of that, the structure of the Saint Origin Realm had changed.
"That's right. A hundred years ago, my grandfather came to the Southern Continent and used his extraordinary talent to establish the Nangong Family's foundation. He settled down, married a wife, and had children. The Nangong Family has a treasure that outsiders don't know about. This treasure was brought over by my grandfather, and even I don't know what it looks like. I only know that my grandfather placed it in a very secretive place in the Nangong Family, and sealed it with a Profound Yang Formation. The treasure that my grandfather hid seemed to have no other use other than to be able to extract a certain amount of Nine Solar Holy Water every year. It was also because of this Nine Solar Holy Water that the Nangong Family rose rapidly in the past few decades, and became one of the top families in the Southern Continent."
Nangong Wentian said. He knew the history of the Nangong family very well.
"What? A treasure that can extract Nine Solar Holy Water? "
Jiang Chen was a little surprised. However, nothing was too strange in this world. It might be normal for such a treasure to exist. If that was really the case, it wouldn't be surprising for the Nangong Family to rise in power in such a short period of time. Just think about it, the descendants of the Nangong Family were baptized by the Nine Solar Holy Water from birth. Which one of them wasn't a genius? It would be hard for such a family to not become powerful.
"Yes, the amount of Nine Solar Holy Water produced every year isn't much, but it's more than enough to support the rise of our Nangong family. Do you still remember when I used the Nine Solar Holy Water to trade for pills in the Blissful Manor? I brought the Nine Solar Holy Water from my clan. My father is the Clan Chief, and as the Young Clan Chief, I have a great advantage. "
Nan Gong Wen Tian chuckled.
"I'm very curious. Your Nangong Family has such a great treasure. Wouldn't it attract the attention of the big powers?"
Jiang Chen was puzzled. As the saying goes, an ordinary man is innocent, but a treasure is a crime. With such a great treasure, the Nangong Family would definitely be coveted by the other powers before they could rise in power. No one would let go of such a great treasure.
Even with the Nangong Family's current strength, they were only on par with the Shangguan Clan. They weren't strong enough to dominate the Southern Continent. The Southern Continent was a vast place, and there must be some monstrous existences like the Martial Saint Dynasty. Even the Martial Saint Dynasty would be tempted by a treasure that could extract Nine Solar Holy Water. If that was the case, it would be a miracle for the Nangong Family to survive for more than a hundred years.
"That's why I said this is our Nangong Family's secret. The treasure is sealed by the Profound Sun Formation, and it's a secret that even I, the Young Clan Chief, only know about its existence, but I've never seen it before. In the Nangong Family, there aren't many people who know about this treasure. Even if some of the later generations obtained the Nine Solar Holy Water, they wouldn't know where it came from. Furthermore, the Nangong Family won't tell anyone about this secret. If this secret is leaked out, the Nangong Family will face a great calamity. I wonder if it has anything to do with this treasure."
Nan Gong Wen Tian furrowed his brows.
"I see."
Jiang Chen nodded his head. It wasn't easy for the Nangong Family to keep this secret for more than a hundred years.
"However, the Nangong Family isn't as united as it used to be. Three years ago, in order to fix the Profound Sun Formation, my grandfather used up all of his energy, and eventually passed away. He passed the position of Family Chief to my father, and it was also at that time that the Nangong Family started to split. The branch led by my eldest uncle didn't listen to my father's orders, and in the end, they split the Nangong Family into two."
Nan Gong Wen Tian said.
"It seems like the Nangong Family's problem lies with your eldest uncle."
Jiang Chen suddenly understood.
"That's right. My eldest uncle complained that my grandfather passed the position of Family Chief to my father, and not him. He would often stir up trouble within the family, and I hated the infighting. In the end, I decided to run away from home, and travel around the world to experience a different kind of training. That's how I met you."
Nan Gong Wen Tian said.
Jiang Chen nodded his head. He finally understood the reason why Nan Gong Wen Tian ran away from home. Now, it seemed like the Nangong Family's internal strife was related to the Nangong Family's internal strife.
Furthermore, Jiang Chen was suddenly very interested in the Nangong Family's treasure that could produce Nine Solar Holy Water.
"I'm afraid that the Nangong Family's incident is related to my eldest uncle as well, and it's very serious. As for the details, I'll have to wait until I return to the family."
Nan Gong Wen Tian said with a frown.
* Whoosh … *
Jiang Chen and Nan Gong Wen Tian's hair fluttered in the wind. All of a sudden, a purple dot flew past Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen reacted quickly and caught it in his hand.
"Spatial Purple Sand Crystal, I'm so lucky."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. The item he caught just now was a purple crystal the size of a fist. It was full of energy, and it was emitting a faint purple light. Although it was only the size of a fist, the energy contained within it was terrifying.
"Spatial Purple Sand Crystal? What is this? "
Nan Gong Wen Tian's gaze landed on the purple sand crystal. He had never seen a crystal like this before.
"A crystal that only exists in the turbulent space. It's formed by absorbing the pure Spatial Energy and fusing it with the Spatial Sand. It contains an incredible amount of energy.
Just this purple sand crystal alone will allow me to form 100 new Dragon Marks. "
After saying that, Jiang Chen unleashed a suction force from his palm onto the purple sand crystal, causing the fist-sized purple sand crystal to start shrinking. Nan Gong Wen Tian knew that Jiang Chen was absorbing the treasure, so he just sat aside and watched without disturbing him.
Half an hour later, the Purple Sand Crystal was completely absorbed by Jiang Chen. Numerous blood red Dragon Marks were dancing on the surface of his body, making him look like numerous blood dragons. It was an extremely mystical sight.
Nan Gong Wen Tian could clearly sense that Jiang Chen's aura was much stronger than before.
Swoosh!
Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Two beams of cold light shot out from his eyes, causing ripples to appear in the air. Right at this moment, the Yuan energy within his Qi Sea was rolling like a tsunami. After absorbing the Purplesand Crystal, he had formed another 100 new Dragon Marks, increasing his total from 4,500 to 4,600 Dragon Marks. With this, he was one step closer to the Combat Soul realm.
"Haha, this feels great!"
Jiang Chen burst into laughter. His luck was truly heaven-defying. Spatial Purple Sand Crystals were extremely rare, and even in the turbulent space, it was something that could only be found once in a hundred years. Furthermore, who would go to the turbulent space for fun? Wasn't that just courting death?
Jiang Chen's luck was truly heaven-defying. He had just happened to find one, and he grabbed it with ease. 100 Dragon Marks, if he wanted to absorb this demon soul, he would have to kill countless demon beasts.
"Damn it, this is a great treasure! Let's keep a close eye on it and see if there are any more purple sand crystals!"
Nan Gong Wen Tian had an excited expression on his face. He kept looking around without blinking his eyes, but all he could see was the turbulent space, and not a single purple sand crystal.
"Don't bother looking, this is something that can only be found by luck."
Jiang Chen patted Nan Gong Wen Tian's shoulder. If he could obtain a treasure like the Spatial Purple Sand Crystal in large quantities, wouldn't it be heaven-defying?
Two hours passed by quickly. Nan Gong Wen Tian's excited expression turned bitter in the end. He couldn't help but admit that Jiang Chen was truly a lucky bastard. To be able to obtain a purple sand crystal was already a miracle, but it was a pity that such a miracle did not happen to him.
Weng weng …
Suddenly, the space tunnel violently shook. Jiang Chen and Nan Gong Wen Tian hurriedly controlled their bodies. A bright light could be seen in front of them, and the space hurricane was also blowing more and more violently.
"We're almost there."
Jiang Chen reminded.
Just as Jiang Chen's voice faded, they reached the end of the space tunnel. Jiang Chen grabbed the bronze plate in front of him. This bronze plate was a treasure, and he could not afford to lose it.
The two of them felt a pulling force acting on their bodies, and their bodies involuntarily flew forward. Bang!
Bang!
The sky was clear and boundless. Suddenly, the void rumbled and two unknown objects tumbled out. The unknown objects were clearly unable to control their bodies. With a plop, they fell to the ground and created a large crater.
"What the hell?"
Someone cried out in shock, and slowly walked towards the two craters. This place was the periphery of a beautiful mountain range, and there were many caravans resting here. It was the first time they had seen these unknown creatures suddenly land on the ground.
"Cough, cough, fuck, can't you be a little gentler?"
