Chapter 716: Naihe Bridge

"Huangquan!"

Baby Dragon darted from Chen Nan's shoulder directly onto Yin Qi's shoulder, only then feeling safe, and said in a milky voice: "Oh my hair, Yin Qi, we haven't really arrived at Yincao Difu, have we?"

The Purple Gold Divine Dragon was also incredibly vigilant and darted onto Yin Qi's shoulder as well.

If there is a thigh to hold, one must hold onto it.

Chen Nan was suspicious and uncertain, looking toward Yin Qi.

Yin Qi ignored Chen Nan; his eyes were covered in a green mist, and under his Po Wang Eye, he saw that what lay ahead were layers upon layers of folded space, exactly six of them, still operating according to some mysterious trajectory.

"It truly lives up to being the Small Six Paths!"

Yin Qi exclaimed inwardly.

The Small Six Paths, jointly created by six Against Heaven Realm (Great Luo) powerhouses, had already grasped the essence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation; even though it was now half-destroyed, it still benefited Yin Qi immensely.

This was equivalent to allowing him to observe the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation directly.

Even if it was only a simulation.

Dugu Xiaoxuan noticed Yin Qi's unusual state, as if he were observing the Small Six Paths.

She did not disturb him, but instead said to Chen Nan: "What Yincao Difu, what lies ahead is merely the Small Six Paths, a simulation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Great World, it is just a pity that it is already half-destroyed."

Chen Nan raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that in this world, there really is a Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

Dugu Xiaoxuan shook her head and said: "Perhaps there is, perhaps there isn't, even I cannot fathom it. However, since someone has created the Small 【Six Paths】..."

Chen Nan was lost in thought and nodded.

Flap! Flap!

A harsh sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the woods nearby.

A large flock of strange birds with wolf heads and sparrow bodies flew over, blotting out the sky and sun; their eyes were blood-red and fierce, and their entire bodies exuded a thick Blood Qi.

Dugu Xiaoxuan, holding Xiao Fenghuang, laughed mischievously: "Little thing, you have also cultivated to become an immortal, so this flock of stinky birds is left to you."

Saying this, she threw Xiao Fenghuang out.

Xiao Fenghuang was stunned.

Looking at the wolf-headed sparrow flock right before her eyes, she flapped her wings frantically and cried out: "Wuwu, Goddess Sister is a bad person. Brother Chen Nan, Brother Little Dragon, Uncle Rascal Dragon, I'm so scared."

Xiao Fenghuang was so scared that she closed her eyes, flapping her wings frantically.

Suddenly, large swathes of Phoenix True Fire erupted from her body, turning all the wolf-headed sparrows into ashes.

But even though the wolf-headed sparrows had all turned to ashes, Xiao Fenghuang did not stop.

While crying, she frantically released Phoenix True Fire.

Watching this, Chen Nan and the others were speechless.

After a long while, Xiao Fenghuang discovered that she did not seem to have been harmed, so she secretly opened one eye, then opened both eyes, and the Phoenix Divine Fire also retracted.

She flapped her wings, looked left and right, and finally asked in confusion: "Brother Chen Nan, where are those strange birds?"

The Purple Gold Divine Dragon said speechlessly: "Strange birds? Under the Phoenix True Fire, what strange bird could still be alive?"

Baby Dragon also chimed in: "They were burned to death by you."

"Burned to death by me?"

Xiao Fenghuang was taken aback, then flapped her wings happily: "Giggle, so I am this powerful, they were all burned to death by me. Hmph, stinky birds, who told them to scare me."

Dugu Xiaoxuan was also amused by Xiao Fenghuang.

Xiao Fenghuang glanced at Dugu Xiaoxuan, then transformed into a stream of light and landed on Chen Nan's head.

Goddess Sister is too bad, she will never pay attention to her again.

But Dugu Xiaoxuan did not care about Xiao Fenghuang's temper; she grabbed Xiao Fenghuang into her arms and rubbed and kneaded her: "You little thing are still throwing a tantrum with me, do you believe I'll throw you into the river?"

Xiao Fenghuang was so scared she didn't dare to move, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked pitifully at Chen Nan.

Chen Nan turned his head away heartlessly.

He had long since seen what this Dugu Xiaoxuan was like; rather than a goddess, she was more of a demoness.

He could not afford to provoke her. Seeing Chen Nan ignore her, Xiao Fenghuang turned her head to look at Baby Dragon and the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, but both dragons followed Chen Nan's lead, turning their heads away and pretending to observe their surroundings.

Finally, she looked at Yin Qi and found that Yin Qi was staring at the void without blinking, as if his spirit were wandering beyond the heavens.

Thus, Xiao Fenghuang could only accept this heartless reality.

She muttered in a low voice: "Demoness, bad woman, only knows how to bully children."

Yin Qi stood motionless, seemingly observing the Small Six Paths, and the others could only boredly examine their surroundings.

One hour later.

Yin Qi finally withdrew his gaze.

Dugu Xiaoxuan asked hurriedly: "Yin Qi, what did you observe?"

Yin Qi said: "I didn't see much, just looked at how this Small Six Paths operates as a whole, it is very mysterious."

Dugu Xiaoxuan said in surprise: "You can see that too?"

Yin Qi nodded and said: "I have cultivated a pupil technique, a divine ability named Po Wang Eye, which can see through falsehoods and look directly at the essence."

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... shu... ba...!

Dugu Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment and sighed: "You are truly surprising."

Yin Qi smiled, turned his head to Chen Nan and said: "That Stone Tablet is a fragment of a supreme treasure, you should store it in your Inner Heaven and Earth."

"Oh, okay!"

Chen Nan was surprised.

He took a large step forward, directly opened his Inner Heaven and Earth, and swallowed the huge Stone Tablet in one go.

Rumble!

As soon as the huge Stone Tablet fell into the Inner Heaven and Earth, it immediately transformed into half a God Mountain, emitting a brilliant divine radiance.

Subsequently, the half-side of the God Mountain slowly shrank, finally transforming into a fragment of an ancient shield half a zhang in size.

"Eh, this Stone Tablet is actually transformed from an ancient shield fragment!"

Chen Nan felt suspicious and uncertain in his heart.

When he unleashed his demonic arts, a phantom of an ancient shield would float behind him, and the patterns on it were exactly the same as this ancient shield.

In the past, he had also obtained an ancient shield fragment from the treasury of the Purple Gold Divine Dragon; it had once been the prized collection of the old Dragon King Kunde, stolen by that rascal dragon.

Dugu Xiaoxuan chuckled: "You are quite lucky. This is the Stone Guardian from ancient myths, legend says it was refined from a God Mountain, possessing invincible defense, it is only a pity that after a tragic great battle, it eventually shattered. However, this item has a predestined connection with you; you still have the weapon soul of the Stone Guardian within your body, though I do not know what your origins truly are."

Although they once lived together on the moon in the Heavenly Realm, the Dugu Family and the Chen family actually did not have much interaction.

Furthermore, the matter of nurturing souls with souls in an attempt to resurrect ancestors is one of the core secrets of the Chen family, so naturally, they would not let the outside world know.

"Weapon soul!"

Chen Nan's heart stirred, and he hurriedly said: "Goddess, according to what you said, doesn't that mean I possess seven types of weapon souls within my body?"

Dugu Xiaoxuan had seen the weapon soul phantoms that appeared around Chen Nan when he unleashed his mysterious arts, and she said: "Correct. The weapon soul is the foundation of an Immortal Treasure; each one is a treasure among treasures. Countless Taigu God and Demon crave even one but cannot obtain it, and I do not know who implanted them into your body. However, since you were able to resurrect from the Shenmo Lingyuan, it seems you are hiding some great secret."

Chen Nan nodded silently.

He felt that this might be related to his father, Chen Zhan.

Since the weapon souls of these treasures are so precious, besides his father Chen Zhan, who else could have possibly done this?

"Let's go. We are going in."

Yin Qi said.

He took the lead and walked, heading upstream against the Huangquan.

Soon, he saw ahead, shrouded in yellow mist, a long bridge that was blindingly white, spanning across the river water.

Vaguely, it seemed one could see a human figure wandering on the white bridge.

Walking to the front of the bridge, they discovered that the entire bridge was built from snow-white bones, and at the head of the bridge stood a similarly huge Stone Tablet, engraved with the three large characters 'Naihe Bridge'.

The color was bright red, extremely piercing to the eyes. (End of chapter)
