Chapter 722: A Thousand Years Ago, the Strongest Genius Qitian

Several people have taken an interest, and they want to see how this flesh body gave birth to consciousness.

This probability is extremely low; basically, it's unlikely to happen, because the body's soul is still alive.

Besides this, perhaps some hidden secrets could be discovered.

Everyone, having eaten and drunk their fill, followed Qi Ruohua into a unique space; that space was hidden beneath the Wanggong, with no entrance or exit, making it hard to find, and Qi Ruohua only located it with the aid of the Qi Luck Golden Dragon.

Open.

Roar.

The Qi Luck Golden Dragon let out an angry roar, a gap appeared, and a gloomy, foul smell came rushing over.

Everyone stepped back, staring at the darkness inside, able to sense the danger within.

Qi Ruohua said: "Inside is where he is, an independent space; once entered, it is hard to leave."

"Chen Chuyang, I will go in with you; the others, stay here."

The Qi Family's secret, she did not want to leak it out, nor did she want others to know.

The Qihuang Bao Ku is beyond her control; most who entered died, except for these people before her who remain alive, while basically everyone else perished; a few Strong Ones escaped—what could those people know, and what could they do?

This place is the deepest secret of the Qi Family; the fewer who know, the better.

Li Shenghong stepped forward and stood beside Chen Chuyang.

"I will go too."

Qi Ruohua did not refuse; inwardly she became more certain that this person must be of the Qi Family bloodline, though exactly which member of the Qi Family is unclear.

For one's own clansman, entering also doesn't matter; Qi Ruohua nodded: "It's fine."

Zhuge Ruolan said weakly: "Can I go in?"

She looked at Chen Chuyang, yearning to enter.

Qi Ruohua did not immediately refuse; instead, she looked at Chen Chuyang, who hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Thus, the people to enter were decided; the others remained outside.

Heishanyang naturally followed along; Qi Ruohua and Chen Chuyang led the way, others trailed behind, they passed through that entrance and entered a dark space; the entrance closed, and before them was utter darkness.

Nothing could be seen; sight and Spiritual Sense were blocked, unable to……penetrate.

Having steadied their footing, the entire space was filled with the sound of some creature writhing.

That feeling made one's spine chill.

Qi Ruohua opened her palm, and a lamp appeared, hovering before them.

It was a Spiritual Artifact of unknown function; as soon as the lamp appeared, it illuminated the vicinity.

Everyone could see the surroundings clearly.

The vast space had been compressed into a passage that stretched forward without end.

All around—up, down, left, right—were sealed off by walls of flesh, isolating everything.

Or rather, aside from this passage, the space consisted entirely of flesh.

The writhing flesh emitted a foul odor, and slime continually appeared on the walls.

Chen Chuyang frowned: "Are these all alive?"

He examined it, reached out to touch, and felt the nature of the flesh.

It was alive, not dead matter.

Moreover, this flesh could swallow them at any moment.

The entire space was supported by this flesh.

Heishanyang looked around and said slowly: "Kid, this is a Grand Duke."

"A Grand Duke of this scale is truly rare."

"Be careful; do not disturb these Grand Dukes."

Li Shenghong observed for a moment and fell into thought.

Soon after, he turned around and looked at Zhuge Ruolan behind him.

"Grand Duke, that thing seems to be a treasure of the Zhuge Family; back then, the Zhuge Family obtained a lump of Grand Duke and have been cultivating it ever since."

"Within the Great Qi Dynasty, it seems only the Zhuge Family possesses this."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Ruolan's body shuddered; she gritted her teeth: "Indeed, these Grand Dukes are truly ours, the Zhuge Family's; years ago, they were stolen, causing the Zhuge Family to suffer extermination; I never expected the Grand Duke to be here."

The killing intent in her eyes condensed to the extreme.

The enemy who exterminated the clan has been found, right ahead.

The Zhuge Family's extermination back then was precisely because of the Grand Duke.

This lump of Grand Duke has remained missing; Zhuge Ruolan searched for a long time; finding the Grand Duke would allow her to identify the enemy.

Before, she thought it was the Heavenly Ghost True Person, but now it appears not to be.

The enemy is someone else.

Qi Ruohua turned back and said: "Zhuge Ruolan, you had better not act rashly."

Chen Chuyang reached out, pressed his hand on Zhuge Ruolan's shoulder, and said: "Stay calm; now is not the time to act rashly."

Zhuge Ruolan nodded: "I know."

Soon, she steadied her emotions; having sought the culprit for many years, she did not mind a short delay.

"We will go inside; he is hiding in there."

Everyone remained silent, walking forward all the way.

The Grand Dukes continually writhed; the smell from the slime was extremely foul.

The further they went, the worse the stench became.

After walking forward for an unknown length of time, they arrived at a vast space.

The sense of oppression wasn't that serious; everyone... exhaled a breath.

Watch out ahead.

Li Shenghong suddenly spoke, pointing ahead.

In the center of the vast space, a person sat on a disc.

The surrounding flesh and blood were connected to him; the whole space, the whole secret chamber, were his flesh and blood.

Flesh and blood continually sloughed off his body, filling the surrounding Grand Duke.

Beside that person, Qi Jian held his sword, calmly gazing at the approaching crowd.

You've come.

Qi Jian spoke, his gaze falling on Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang said calmly, 'You didn't run?'

I thought you had run away; I didn't expect you to hide here waiting for me—you've got guts.

Aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now?

Qi Jian shrugged, utterly unafraid: 'This place is the Ancestor's territory; if you want to kill me, you have to ask the Ancestor.'

This place is the Heavenly Snake Ancestor's territory.

The entire space is under his control.

Moreover, this Ancestor is closely tied to Wangdu, inseparable.

If he dies, Wangdu will fall as well.

This is the Heavenly Snake Ancestor's foundation, and also his confidence.

Is this your Ancestor?

Chen Chuyang saw the Heavenly Snake Ancestor, who looked exactly like the Earth Snake Ancestor.

The aura on his body remained that eerie feeling, unchanged.

The Heavenly Snake Ancestor opened his eyes, which were full of mucus, and stared deeply at Chen Chuyang.

Fellow Daoist, you indeed still came.

Ah.

A sigh, as if he had expended all his strength.

The Heavenly Snake Ancestor raised his right hand, pointing at Li Shenghong behind Chen Chuyang, and said, 'Qi Shenghong, long time no see, you still dare not meet me.'

Cough cough cough.

Li Shenghong said coldly, 'My name is Li Shenghong, not Qi Shenghong.'

The Heavenly Snake Ancestor shook his head: 'You're still the same as before; after thousands of years, do you still resent me?'

Hmph.

Li Shenghong let out a cold snort and said mercilessly, 'Qi Tian Old Ghost, I never expected it to be you—impressive, impressive, you actually seized this corpse.'

I knew you wouldn't die so easily; I never expected you to ultimately succeed.
