However, a junior like Xiao Chen forced him into such a sorry state was unprecedented. If he did not personally kill Xiao Chen, he would not be able to get rid of this heart demon for the rest of his life.
"Hahaha! So, it turns out that you miss Xiao Chen so much. In that case, this Xiao Chen will give you another punch. There is no need to stand on ceremony."
Suddenly, a splash appeared on the lake. Xiao Chen leaped out and did not hesitate to send out Deities Descending.
The Xuan Clan Senior Elder had not expected such a sudden development. By the time he retreated, that surging energy, a punch with tenfold combat prowess, had already struck his chest.
"Bang!"
The Xuan Clan Senior Elder vomited a mouthful of blood and went flying back with a pale complexion. He looked at Xiao Chen incredulously. It turned out that Xiao Chen had not entered the lake at all. He had just stopped at the shore, waiting for the Xuan Clan Senior Elder to come over.
A punch with tenfold combat prowess already surpassed the might of the Xuan Clan Senior Elder's full-power strike. This punch struck him while he was caught off guard.
This could be said to have truly injured him. The Xuan Clan Senior Elder felt so depressed that he wanted to hack Xiao Chen into a thousand pieces. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen made a fool out of him again.
"You are going too far! This old man will fight it out with you!"
The Xuan Clan Senior Elder roared and charged at Xiao Chen like a madman.
"You want to kill me? Come with me to Misleading Fog Lake. I will wait for you at the center of the lake!"
Xiao Chen felt very happy in his heart. This old fellow had been following him for half a month and had long since disliked him. Now, he finally managed to trick him. Xiao Chen laughed loudly and entered the vast fog again.
"Bang!"
In the end, reason won over impulse. The Xuan Clan Senior Elder stopped midway. If he really followed Xiao Chen into this Misleading Fog Lake, he would end up in a miserable state.
This time, the Xuan Clan Senior Elder did not dare to stand casually at the shore. He waited for two days before carefully arriving at the shore. Then, he jumped into the lake.
The Xuan Clan Senior Elder searched the bottom of the lake before he confirmed that Xiao Chen had truly entered the depths of the lake.
When the Xuan Clan Senior Elder jumped back onto the shore, a group of people was already waiting a kilometer away.
The person leading this group looked like he was in his forties or fifties. However, his aura was withdrawn, and there were more than three hundred Heavenly Sage Laws behind him.
Furthermore, each one was as thick as a thumb, much stronger than Xiao Chen's. Unexpectedly, this person was a peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage.
There were actually two Martial Sages among the forty or fifty people standing behind him. The clothes they wore were exactly the same as the Xuan Clan Senior Elder's.
When the Clan Senior Xuan of the Chen of the Xuan of the Clan, he was, of, he, Chen, Chen, a Chen, ","
Of the of of of of of Xof the Chen, the Chen, and of it his, of of Xiao of his, of a of the Chen, of the Clan, of out of the Chen of of of of Of.
"Xuan Feng, the day before yesterday, you sent word that the person who killed Xuan Yu had already entered deep into Misleading Fog Lake.
Xuan Ke did not answer Xuan Feng's question directly. He only frowned as he looked at the mysterious Misleading Fog Lake, which was always shrouded in fog. He entered deep thought.
Xuan Feng lowered his head and answered, "It is absolutely true. I chased this brat for fifteen days and nights. In the end, he had nowhere else to run and entered this Misleading Fog Lake."
"Haha! Xuan Feng, you are really capable. Even after chasing a half-Sage for half a month, you still could not catch him," a Xuan Clan Senior Elder mocked behind Xuan Ke.
Xuan Feng felt a slight pain in his chest. He wanted to retort, but he felt too guilty. He lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Carefully, he asked Xuan Ke, "First Elder, what did the Clan Head say?"
Xuan Ke thought for a while, not paying much attention to this. He said, "Did that person barge into this place by mistake or on purpose? Xuan Feng, are you sure?"
"He should have barged in by mistake. He is not from my Fiend Domain. He probably has not heard of the strangeness of Misleading Fog Lake."
"If he barged in by mistake, then never mind. Just stand guard here for three months. If he comes out, just kill him. If he doesn't, then forget it. "
After Xuan Ke spoke, he glanced at the fog-covered Misleading Fog Lake. Then, he stood up and left.
As the Xuan Clan's First Elder, he had many matters to attend to. Naturally, he could not waste three months on a half-Sage who barged into Misleading Fog Lake by mistake.
Seeing the First Elder leave, Xuan Feng heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the First Elder was only here to go through the motions. Otherwise, he would have been afraid that he would have revealed his secret.
Aside from the thick fog, the water of Misleading Fog Lake looked no different from any other lake. It was clear and transparent. When one looked down, one would see the shadows of fish swimming around.
However, the fog above the lake disturbed the tranquility of the lake. After Xiao Chen stepped in for a kilometer, he became completely lost.
Even when Xiao Chen infused Quintessence into his eyes, he could not see beyond a hundred meters. When he extended his Spiritual Sense, it became hazy after five hundred meters.
What was even more horrifying was that there was no sense of direction in there. This sense of direction was not limited to a flat surface.
Even if one tried to fly upwards with all their might, it would appear that they were flying upwards. However, after a while, they would strangely land back on the lake.
As for swimming to the depths of the water, it was even more dangerous. Perhaps after you swam down for a thousand meters, you wouldn't be able to survive. Perhaps after swimming for a kilometer, one would discover that one could not float up no matter how one swam. One would keep spinning in the water, suffocating to death.
This Misleading Fog Lake did not have any strong ferocious beasts, traps, or formations. Furthermore, it did not have any natural disasters that could destroy the world.
It only blurred one's five senses, rendering one's overwhelming abilities useless, grinding one to death in there.
Now, Xiao Chen was somewhat curious about how the Thunder King managed to get out of this place back then.
According to Ao Jiao, when the Thunder King barged into this place, he had not advanced to Martial Emperor yet. He had only just broken through to Martial Sage.
"In the depths of this Misleading Fog Lake, there is a bolt of Divine Lightning. That is the true Divine Lightning. Even at his peak, the Thunder King could not bring out even a tenth of it.
"Back then, the Thunder King was trapped here. Coincidentally, he reached the bottleneck of comprehending a will, so he started cultivating here. He sensed the existence of the Divine Lightning, which allowed him to reach the depths of Misleading Fog Lake.
"In the end, he broke through the bottleneck in one go, becoming the only cultivator in the past ten thousand years to comprehend a will before the age of twenty-five, successfully walking out of Misleading Fog Lake."
Ao Jiao told Xiao Chen everything that happened back then, answering many of his questions.
Divine Lightning … even at his peak, the Thunder King could not bring out even a tenth of its might. What kind of lightning was that?
Xiao Chen could not help but feel very interested. At his peak, the Thunder King was a Sovereign Martial Emperor. Just one bolt of lightning equaled ten Sovereign Martial Emperors.
In that case, how strong was the master of that bolt of Divine Lightning? It completely surpassed Xiao Chen's imagination.
This was truly incredible. There were strong Sovereign Martial Emperors and weak Sovereign Martial Emperors. However, there would not be much of a difference. In the Martial Epoch, Sovereign Martial Emperor was synonymous with the peak of cultivators.
As for Martial Gods, they had been a legend for tens of thousands of years. Even the strongest Sovereign Martial Emperor since the Ancient Era, the Qing Emperor, was only a Sovereign Martial Emperor and not a Martial God.
Most of the legends about Martial Gods came from the Ancient Era. That was when Martial Emperors were as common as clouds and Sages roamed the land. It was the golden age of the Martial Epoch.
In the end, legends were just legends. Sovereign Martial Emperors could live for ten thousand years. Martial Gods should be eternal.
However, the reality was that several strong Sovereign Martial Emperors from the Ancient Era had their bloodlines passed down. Even now, they did not go extinct and were revered as Sovereign Noble Clans.
As for several of the legendary Martial Gods, not to mention their bloodlines, they did not even leave behind their inheritances. This made many later generations believe that Martial God was just a figment of their imagination and did not exist at all.
Now, Ao Jiao said that one bolt of Divine Lightning equaled ten Sovereign Martial Emperors. In that case, could the master of the Divine Lightning be a Martial God?
At this moment, Xiao Chen could not help but feel excited. He urged Ao Jiao to quickly lead the way.
Don't rush. It has been more than two thousand years. The connection between me and that bolt of Divine Lightning is already somewhat weak. I need some time.
After waiting for a long time, Ao Jiao turned into a beam of light and flew out from the Immortal Spirit Ring. In the depths of Ao Jiao's intelligent eyes was a spot of golden electric light drifting about like a flame.
That spot of electric fire was only several times the size of a grain of rice. However, it gave off a soul-stirring light, deterring others from looking directly at it.
Ao Jiao revealed an extremely grave expression on her cute and petite face. Her gaze slowly moved around the surroundings, occasionally revealing a confused expression.
When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he frowned slightly. It looked like this Misleading Fog Lake was not as easy as Ao Jiao said.
However, Xiao Chen was not a rash person. His mental state was much calmer than that of his peers. He did not show any panic on his face, nor did he say anything to disturb Ao Jiao.
Time passed slowly. The surrounding fog did not weaken at all. At a glance, all Xiao Chen saw was a vast expanse of white; he could not tell north from south at all.
The fog did not look strange. When Xiao Chen collected some, he did not find anything wrong with it. That was to say, the strangeness of this place had nothing to do with this vast fog.
The crucial thing was that the Divine Lightning had clouded the five senses. If not for the fortuitous encounter like the Thunder King's, a Sovereign Martial Emperor would not have been able to leave.
"Boom!"
Just as Xiao Chen's thoughts ran wild, a strong wind suddenly blew. The thick fog in front of Ao Jiao parted, revealing a clear path.
The two undetectable spots of golden electric light in Ao Jiao's eyes suddenly turned into clumps of blazing flames, giving off a resplendent and dazzling light.
With a thought, Xiao Chen quickly followed behind Ao Jiao, moving quickly on the water.
It was like there was a formless energy guiding Ao Jiao. The fog in front of her automatically parted as she moved forward.
After she crossed it, it immediately closed up again. When one looked back, it was still a vast and boundless fog that stretched for an unknown distance. This was truly inconceivable.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chen felt that they had already advanced at least one hundred and fifty kilometers. However, Ao Jiao still showed no signs of stopping.
"We've arrived!"
Suddenly, Ao Jiao stopped. Right after she spoke, Xiao Chen discovered that the surrounding fog had vanished at some point in time.
The scene before Xiao Chen turned into a golden world. Not only was the lake under his feet golden, but the surrounding air and the vast sky were also pure gold.
