“Something is fishy.”
Jiang Chen looked at the aurora-like blue light surging from the deepest part of the valley.
He wanted to retreat subconsciously, but those three guys blocked the way out, and since he couldn’t fly in this island, he was left with no room for escape.
“Jiang Chen, turn round, and go back, we will help you in breaking through their encirclement,” the Azure Demon said, “If worst comes to worst, we will just need to sleep for a while once again.”
They were already prepared to sacrifice themselves, and help Jiang Chen in escaping.
However, Jiang Chen was now looking at the blue light fixedly, as if he didn’t hear their words.
Although the blue light didn’t seem quick, but it already almost reached him now, and it was spreading around aimlessly.
“Even people like them are forced to stop there, let alone you, and you will be in more danger than them. This is the Extreme Evil Island,” the Azure Demon spoke anxiously.
“Fine!”
Jiang Chen clenched his teeth, and planned to break out of their encirclement.
He wouldn’t let the Azure Demon, and other, get dragged into this, unless it was absolutely essential.
However, when he just strode forward, he was forced to stop in his tracks.
“d.a.m.n!” Even the Azure Demon cursed at this moment.
They just witnessed that the other three alliance masters, and Lord of Tiger also rushed over.
They were seven Spiritual Venerable now, and if the eight groups of spiritual beings faced them, they wouldn’t be just affected, and they might even be annihilated by them.
“Let’s risk our lives against them.” The Azure Demon curled the corners of his mouth, as he planned to fight a decisive battle.
Jiang Chen held the Redcloud Sword, and black knife, and was just about to charge into them, however, he suddenly discovered that his body was incapable of budging, as it was grasped by a mighty power.
At first, he could still struggle, and take several steps forward, but shortly after he became incapable of budging by even an inch.
“Why?”
Jiang Chen swept the blue light out of the corners of his eyes, and noticed that there were still several hundred meters between them, and it still didn’t reach him.
“Hahaha, the thousand meters radius around the blue light is the most dangerous region, didn’t anyone inform you of this matter?” The Sword Symbol Alliance’s Master spoke smugly.
Jiang Chen’s body was shortly after engulfed by the blue light.
It didn’t seem like the blue light experienced any changes then, and it continued proceeding forward, and it stopped only when it was two thousand meters from the seven Spiritual Venerables.
Soon after, The blue light’s radiance became more dazzling, and Jiang Chen’s body gradually disappeared among it.
However, when they had their last glance at him, they witnessed that Jiang Chen’s body was puffed like a balloon filled with air.
Such a scene let the look of Dragon General of Water, and Lord of Tiger became somewhat odd, and they still had a lingering fear of it.
“This is the Fortune Valley. After a short while, Jiang Chen’s body would explode, but his spiritual weapons wouldn’t be affected,” the Sword Symbol Alliance’s Master spoke once again.
All of a sudden, the ambiance here between them became somewhat odd, and the five alliance masters recalled that they kept the Dragon General of Water, and Lord of Tiger in the dark.
Since those two people’s cultivation was higher than theirs, the Sword Symbol Alliance’s Master explained to them, “Sirs, don’t misunderstand, we come here just to take revenge for Sea Conqueror Jiang.”
“You don’t need to explain anything, as we were, all along, following behind you.”
The Dragon General of Water wouldn’t believe such nonsense, and disdain appeared on his resolute face, as he spoke, “Our target is just Jiang Chen, and we don’t care about his possessions.”
The five alliance masters were overjoyed when they heard his words.
“What are you talking about? We would surely take the black yellow gas.” Lord of Tiger won’t accept it, as he didn’t have the same character as a soldier like the Dragon General of Water.
A faint killing intent emerged out of the five alliance masters’ bodies when such words echoed.
“This wasn’t good for you then, as Sea Conqueror Jiang’s boat couldn’t be operated by just two people, and all of the Ten Symbols Alliance’s people must join their efforts for it,” the Sword Symbol Alliance’s Master said.
If they could avoid a fight, then they should try their best to avoid it, and they chose to state their side superiority for it.
Lord of Tiger furrowed his brows tightly, and spoke, “How much do you want?”
The five people exchanged a look, before the Heaven Symbol Alliance’s Master replied on behalf of them.
“Half of it.”
Lord of Tiger revealed a meaningful smile when he heard him, and didn’t reply.
The five alliance masters became somewhat restless, as they didn’t know whether he agreed or not.
They wanted to just attack them directly, but they were afraid of attracting the Extreme Evil Island’s terrifying existences here if they didn’t manage to put an end to the fight quickly.
While each of them started concocting sinister scheme, Jiang Chen, who was in the valley, still didn’t die.
The blue light was a type of extremely powerful energy, and it instantly filled his whole body, and helped him in consuming the Extreme Primordial Fruit’s energy, and it let his cultivation rose to the middle stage of Martial Venerable Realm.
However, before he even rejoiced, he noticed that the blue light wasn’t willing to stop, and continued pouring energy into his body unceasingly.
Since his current cultivation couldn’t be raised any further, the blue light energy wouldn’t be absorbed by him, and since it wouldn’t dissipate by itself, it continued gathering inside his body, and he shortly after turned into a fatty, and if this continued on for just several seconds more, his body would be surely torn apart.
Jiang Chen forced himself to calm down in such seconds, and it was only then did he sense a familiar warm feeling transmitting from his Storage Spirit Artifact.
It was from the bronze fragments, and it was only because he put them aside by themselves did Jiang Chen manage to notice it quickly.
Jiang Chen threw out the two bronze fragments decisively.
The blue light energy, which was about to fill its body until it exploded, immediately stopped surging into him, and his body recovered to its previous state.
An empty s.p.a.ce, which didn’t have any blue light energy, appeared in the three meters around him because all of the energy was absorbed by the fragments atop him.
Such empty s.p.a.ce was unceasingly expanding, and it went from three meters to five meters, and then ten meters.
It seemed like the avaricious and insatiable bronze fragments wanted to devour all of the blue light energy in this valley.
Jiang Chen was delighted. He never once expected that the bronze fragments could be used in such a way.
Crack! Crack!
The two bronze fragments suddenly experienced some transformations, and the rust on them, which Jiang Chen didn’t manage to erase even after exhausting all of his means, fluttered away like snowflakes.
The bronze fragments’ l.u.s.ter became more bright, and the letters on them became clearer.
Moreover, what was even more miraculous was that the bronze fragments were repairing themselves, and they started growing, and they shortly after took the outline of a cauldron.
In the end, the two bronze fragments turned into a bronze cauldron, which was revolving in the air unceasingly.
The bronze cauldron was round and circular, and it was half as tall as a human, and had three feet.
There were even lines of characters written on it, as well as various patterns.
Jiang Chen observed it carefully, but he didn’t manage to discover this cauldron’s origin.
“Is it a new divine object, which appeared in the last five hundred years?”
Jiang Chen’s mouth was dry, and his heart was throbbing intensely, and he got overjoyed after he came back to his senses.
The amount of blue light in the valley became quite low, and even the deepest part of the valley stopped emitting such light.
The seven Spiritual Venerables outside kept calm, as their eyes moved around.
They already noticed the bronze cauldron from the moment the blue light in the outermost surrounding was absorbed by it.
“What’s the matter? It should stay there for two hours each time, isn’t it?”
The five alliance masters were confused, as although they were familiar with the Fortune Valley, they still never once seen such a sight before.
When the Fortune Valley was discovered in the past, it caused a great commotion in the ten great sects.
Many Celestial Venerables came here, and wanted to investigate it, and control the blue light, but most of them failed, and some of them even lost their lives.
In the end, a Great Venerable set off, and stayed outside of the valley for three whole days and nights, and said such words after it. If you didn’t want to die, you mustn’t set foot in the valley.
Since then, the Fortune Valley became a forbidden area, and the Ten Symbols alliance’s people didn’t dare to covet it any longer.
“Oh my G.o.d!”
It could be imagined how shocked were they when they saw the safe and sound Jiang Chen.
“Many thanks for the great fortune you gifted me,” Jiang Chen spoke seriously.
“Impossible! Many Celestial Venerables died here, so how’s possible for him to survive?”
“Did this kid really come from the Nine Heavens Realm?”
While the alliance masters were bewildered, the Dragon General of Water, and Lord of Tiger got suspicious about the alliance masters’ story.
“Your rubbish is really useless.”
After Lord of Tiger spoke, he strode into the valley. Since there wasn’t any blue light in it, he was obviously safe and sound there.
“Jiang Chen, you will now pay back for killing our young master.”
