"Why do I feel like someone is calling me?"
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks. A confused look appeared on his face.
However, when he listened carefully, he didn't hear anything.
He raised his head and looked around. This place was empty except for some tall pillars.
"Is this the voice of the Ji Family's ancestor?"
Jiang Chen was startled. After what had happened to the Ji Family, he didn't have a good impression of them anymore.
He certainly didn't want to rescue their ancestor at this moment.
In his eyes, this was extremely risky. Who knew whether the Ji Family's ancestor would bite the hand that fed him? He had already suffered many losses.
"I feel like you should give it a try. According to the rumors, the Ji Family's ancestor was a kind-hearted person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked so many orthodoxies to accept his kindness."
"Maybe this is an opportunity for you," the artifact spirit artifact said.
The spirit of the Immortal Boat of Fortune said. He thought Jiang Chen should give it a try.
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment. He felt like what the artifact spirit artifact said was reasonable. What if this was an opportunity for him to clear his name?
Then Jiang Chen walked toward the source of the voice without hesitation. If the situation turned for the worse, he would find a way to escape.
The Ji Family's ancestor had been trapped here for so many years, and he could only transmit information through sound transmission. He should have reached the end of his life.
"He shouldn't be a threat to me," Jiang Chen thought.
Gnashing his teeth, Jiang Chen calmed himself down and walked toward the depths.
After walking for a few dozen miles, he felt a kind of surging pressure in front of him. It was like a huge wave that overflowed into the sky.
However, it also felt like an ancient sky was falling down. People couldn't help but kneel down and worship it.
This was the world's mighty force, which couldn't be described with words. All living beings were as weak as ants facing such a pressure.
"What is this?"
Jiang Chen looked at the scene ahead of him in shock. It was like a chaotic river that ran through the universe. It was flowing on both sides.
A dreadful energy pervaded the air. There were black waves on both sides. They were like the Lunar River. Chaotic energy pervaded the air. It seemed like they could lead to the depths of the starry sky.
Many dragon coffins were floating on both sides of the river. They were bobbing up and down. The traces left behind by them were extremely ancient.
They had surpassed many eras. It was difficult to trace their origin.
How could there be such a grand scene in this underground palace?
It was like he had come to the depths of the universe.
In an instant, he seemed to have arrived outside the starry sky.
Ancient and majestic stars bobbed up and down one after another above their heads. Tens of thousands of resplendent starlight shone brilliantly. The heavenly river was vast, extending to the other side of the world.
Jiang Chen even saw the blood that had gathered on the ground ahead of him. Nine different colors interweaved, and they were dazzling. Immortal radiance shone resplendently.
The terrifying aura made his skin feel like it was about to split open, as if the blade of the Great Dao was cutting his bones.
Even though there were strands of primal chaos energy descending from the surroundings, they were also making cracking sounds as if they were about to collapse. It was difficult for them to take even half a step closer.
Immortal King blood!
Moreover, there were quite a few of them, forming a small lake.
"An Immortal King really did die here … and it was related to the Dragon Clan. Could this be the Dragon King's resting palace?"
Jiang Chen was extremely shocked. He didn't even dare take half a step forward.
He understood how terrifying that immortal king blood was. Even though countless years had passed, to the extent where even the divinity within it had dissipated, it was still extremely powerful.
However, just the remaining aura was enough to kill any living being.
"Little friend …"
After arriving here, Jiang Chen once again heard the voice of the Ji Family's ancestor, Ji Shengchu.
Looking toward the source of the voice, he saw an extremely tall platform in the deepest part of the underground palace.
There seemed to be a vague figure on it. It was extremely thin and withered. If one didn't look at it carefully, one could even mistake it for firewood.
It didn't even look like a human anymore.
"Senior, is that you?"
Jiang Chen asked. He hadn't expected the Ji Family's ancestor, who was rumored to be so arrogant, to be in such a miserable state.
However, he had been trapped in Kun Mountain for so many years, but he hadn't died yet. That was enough to prove he wasn't a simple person.
"Little friend, it's me."
"There are restraining formation patterns left by the True Dragons here. There's also the remaining aura of an Immortal King. Little friend, don't act rashly. Otherwise, you'll get yourself into trouble."
The thin figure lying on the platform spoke. He looked extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it would go out at any moment.
Jiang Chen hadn't expected Ji Shengchu to worry about his safety first. He somehow had a good impression of him.
"I see. Senior, how can I get you out?" asked Jiang Chen.
"Find the eight formation keys here and break them. The restraining formation here will disappear of course. I was lucky enough to hide on this platform all these years. That's how I managed to avoid being killed by the restraining force. You must be careful."
"These restraining formations were deployed by an Immortal King. Although they're all broken now, they're still very powerful."
Ji Shengchu sighed. Although he was still weak, Jiang Chen's arrival gave him hope. He couldn't help but force himself to stand up.
"I see. Senior, I'll get you out right away." Jiang Chen nodded. He started to look for the formation keys around as Ji Shengchu had told him.
At the same time, he was talking with the spirit of the Vessel in his mind. He wanted to know whether Ji Shengchu was worth saving.
"If you can get him out, maybe he'll be your backer."
The Vessel Spirit's voice was filled with excitement.
"I think Ji Shengchu has been trapped in Mount Kun all these years. Maybe he's benefited from his misfortune. His cultivation has improved. He must have surpassed the Immortal State when he was at his peak. Although the rules of the universe aren't complete, I think he'll be as strong as a Genuine Immortal once he recovers."
It made a solemn vow.
Jiang Chen's heart was set on fire when he heard this.
If he had a backer as strong as a Genuine Immortal, wouldn't it be possible for him to take revenge?
Then Jiang Chen was looking for the formation keys according to Ji Shengchu's request while talking with him. He also learned how Ji Shengchu had been trapped in Mount Kun.
According to Ji Shengchu, the inheritance of an Immortal King was the most attractive thing.
Mount Kun used to be the nest of the Genuine Dragons from the Upper Realm. Later, the Dragon King of the Genuine Dragons was killed somehow and died here.
Ji Shengchu was bold. He broke into Mount Kun alone, trying to find the inheritance of the Dragon King of the Genuine Dragons.
However, he accidentally triggered the restraining formation here. Fortunately, he hid on that platform in time to avoid the restraining formation around it. That was how he survived.
It was for this reason that he had been trapped here for so many years without any news.
"I guess the outside world has changed a lot. I wonder if Ah Lin …"
"I, Ji Shengchu, have never broken my promise to anyone in my whole life, except for her."
While telling Jiang Chen what had happened, Ji Shengchu couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Suddenly, he burst into tears. He regretted it, thinking of his former lover.
He also learned about the changes in the outside world from Jiang Chen's words.
Many things had changed. Things had remained the same, but people had changed.
The bamboo tree that the two of them planted together should have already withered and turned into dust.
Jiang Chen didn't care about Ji Shengchu's sigh at the moment. He only wanted to save him and use him as a protective talisman.
Ji Shengchu seemed to know what Jiang Chen was thinking. He suddenly smiled and said, "My young friend, don't worry. Since you saved me, you are my benefactor and the whole Ji family's benefactor.
"I've always been open and aboveboard. I've never cheated anyone. What's more, I'm biting the hand that feeds me."
She begged for fresh flowers.
"Senior, I've never doubted your character."
Jiang Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He showed a rare smile.
Somehow, he suddenly thought of Ji Chuyue and what Gu Changge had said in the dungeon.
The Ji family's son-in-law?
Maybe it wasn't impossible.
After half a day, there was a great rumble. Brilliant lights illuminated the surroundings.
The dreadful chaotic waves rising from both sides gradually disappeared. They gradually returned to the darkness.
"The nine formation keys have been dealt with. The pressure shrouding this place is gone …"
Jiang Chen was pleasantly surprised to see this, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
"My young friend, you've worked hard. But I still have to ask you for a favor. I've been trapped here for so many years. I'm almost exhausted. I still need some time to recover before I can take you out of here. During this time, I'll have to trouble you to protect me."
On the Doctrine Platform, Ji Shengchu was also delighted. He said to Jiang Chen again after taking a deep breath.
Jiang Chen nodded. He certainly had no problem with this.
He could see that Ji Shengchu was so withered that he didn't even look like a human anymore. He had probably been holding on for so many years that he had used up all his spirit energy.
Very soon, Ji Shengchu entered a meditative state, and the surrounding Spirit Qi began to surge towards him.
The Doctrine Rhythm and Spirit Opportunity that had been accumulated in the underground palace for so many years also turned into a vortex, gathering here.
"As long as I leave Mount Kun, my life will be rewritten. Gu Changge, you didn't expect this, did you?"
Jiang Chen took a deep breath. Coldness flashed in his eyes. Then he started to sit with his legs crossed to recover.
He thought of many things, including how to expose Gu Changge's true colors and how to avenge his friends.
He wanted Gu Changge to pay him back one by one!!
However, at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly heard footsteps coming from not far away. The footsteps were neither fast nor slow. The person who was coming seemed to be very calm.
And it seemed that the person wanted him to hear them on purpose. That was why he heard the footsteps.
At this moment, Jiang Chen opened his eyes. He didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling.
He turned his head to look at the other side of the underground palace. His pupils suddenly shrank. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He was scared out of his wits.
Jiang Chen felt cold from head to toe. He was even trembling slightly.
He felt a great terror coming toward him. He felt like his heart was being strangled. He felt like his bones and flesh were going to explode.
He didn't expect Gu Changge to show up here. Shouldn't the old Taoist in feathered clothes be holding him back?
"Gu Changge, why are you here?"
He tried to calm himself down, but his voice was shaking.
Gu Changge walked towards him unhurriedly. She shook her head and said with a natural expression, "I came here to rescue Senior Ji Shengchu. But as for you, the inheritor of the Demonic Arts, what do you want?"
"Not only did you release the feather-clothed Taoist, who was sealed in the mysterious jade, but you also tried to kill all of the people who came to rescue Senior Ji Shengchu."
"Gu Changge, don't slander me. I'm not the inheritor of demonic methods. You're framing me." Jiang Chen's eyes turned slightly red. Staring at Gu Changge, he felt cold all over. He was extremely scared.
"Then why don't you explain why you know the Devil Arts?" Gu Changge smiled faintly, not giving any comment.
"Also, why did you destroy the mysterious jade and release the feather-clothed Taoist so that he could kill all the strong people of the other races?"
