Chapter 385 - 385 Heavenly Nail Suppresses the Demon Snake

385 Heavenly Nail Suppresses the Demon Snake

The treasure of this Mystic Nether Sect was a mountain rock with a mural engraved on it.

It was an ordinary-looking rock.

However, the content carved on the mural was extraordinary. There was a huge dragon-snake beast carved on it. This beast’s body was very long and looked like a snake, but it had six pairs of flesh wings on its back.

Its head was like a crocodile’s and looked sinister. Even though it was only carved on the murals, its monstrous ferocity still gushed over.

In the mural, its tail was nailed firmly by a huge nail, restricting its movements. At the same time, a thick chain connected to the nail and the other end was directly refined into the head of the dragon-snake beast.

As a result, the dragon-snake’s head and tail were both restricted but it wouldn’t be able to die easily. A long wound was torn open on its body, revealing the bones and tendons inside.

Restrictions were carved on these bones and tendons. They were so densely packed that it was a shocking sight.

This mural was enough for anyone who saw them to understand that this dragon snake probably lived in an extremely miserable state for the rest of its life. It could only struggle and roar in vain. It could be seen that the person who nailed it must have monstrous hatred for this dragon snake.

They could clearly kill it but they decided to torture it eternally.

What shocked Xu Qing and the captain the most was that in the snake’s eyes, the person who carved it even carved stars that circulated. Upon closer inspection, it looked like tens of thousands of stars were overlapping.

This was… the second stage of the Nihility Realm!

Xu Qing glanced at the captain. The captain’s gaze also landed on Xu Qing. After that, they both looked at the old man at the same time.

“What is this thing?” the captain asked.

“This is how our Mystic Nether Sect is related to the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether. Countless years ago, before the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether unified the w.a.n.ggu Continent, he stepped foot on the w.a.n.ggu Continent and started his legendary life.” The old man hurriedly explained.

“The land the Ancient Sovereign stepped on when he first came here is the current Yinghuang Province. On the way here, just as he was about to reach the sh.o.r.e, a demon snake that was a scourge of the sea back then didn’t submit to the Ancient Sovereign and actually bit him.”

“At that time, although the Ancient Emperor hadn’t completed his Dao, it was still easy for him to suppress this little demon snake. In the end, the Ancient Emperor used a heavenly nail to nail this demon snake to the sh.o.r.e of the Yinghuang Province and carved restrictions in its bones and tendons to torture it. At that time, he even chatted and laughed with his companions, saying that since the demon snake bit him once, he would suppress it for 100,000 years.”

“Also, the Ancient Sovereign left behind a verse of a poem back then.”

“Heavenly Nail Suppresses the Demon Snake, All Techniques Refine the Universe!” When he spoke of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, although the old man was lying on the ground and being stepped on by the captain, he revealed a proud expression.

“Just a bite and he opened the snake’s stomach and carved restrictions, torturing and suppressing it for 100,000 years? So petty?” The captain’s expression was strange. He couldn’t help but glance at Xu Qing and transmit his voice.

‘Little Qing, before this, I thought you were the most petty. From the looks of it, you still have to work hard.’ The captain blinked. With outsiders around, he wouldn’t call out Xu Qing’s name but there was no problem with transmitting his voice.

‘Captain, you were that snake in your previous life, right?’ Xu Qing calmly replied.

The captain raised his brows and chuckled. He then turned his head and stepped on the old man’s stomach, speaking with a savage expression.

“Your sect’s supreme treasure is this mural? Since there’s a mural, the location of the snake and the nail is also here?” After saying that, the captain looked around but didn’t see any location that looked like the mural.

Hearing this question, the old man looked a little awkward. After hesitating for a moment and sensing that these two upper sect disciples weren’t good people, he didn’t dare to hide it.

“They are not here.”

“Where?” Xu Qing asked as he had a faint guess in his mind.

“In the forbidden land of your Eight Sects Alliance’s Mystic Nether Sect,” the old man said truthfully.

The captain laughed.

“The land engraved on your sect’s mural is the forbidden land of the Alliance’s Mystic Nether Sect?”

The old man looked even more awkward and smiled bitterly.

“Actually, in the Yinghuang Province, we are the most authentic Mystic Nether Sect. Back then, the sect’s founding ancestor was ordered by the Ancient Sovereign to watch over that demon snake. He wanted to increase its pain every year.”

“Just like that, time flowed by. Although this tradition was broken a few times in the process, it could barely be considered pa.s.sed down. This lasted until my master… Back then, he met Purple Mystic Fairy of your Alliance’s Mystic Nether Sect. My master immediately saw that Purple Mystic Fairy’s future was limitless.”

“Hence, the old man was willing to give up the ancestral land and hand over the great responsibility of the sect to the other party. After that, he led us to live in seclusion here and lived a beautiful life of peace and quiet. About 30 years ago, he rode a crane to the west…”

Xu Qing looked at the sallow-faced disciples in the surroundings and then at the timid old man. He did not respond to the old man’s words.

The captain had a strange expression as he looked at the old man.

The old man didn’t know what to say.

“Is your master’s surname Zhao? Zhao Zhongheng?” After a long time, the captain coughed and spoke.

“Huh? Master’s surname isn’t Zhao.” The old man was stunned.

The captain shook his head and lifted his foot. He felt that it wasn’t good to continue bullying these pitiful souls.

Hence, he asked about the snake.

“That ancestral land is now the foundation of the Eight Sects Alliance’s Mystic Nether Sect. I’ve never been there but I heard from Master that the ancestral land is filled with terrifying soul power.”

“The density of soul power is quite helpful for cultivation. Just one breath is enough to bring great benefits.”

“Moreover, although that demon snake’s body died and only its bones were left, Master said that the demon snake actually didn’t really die. Its soul is still there but it’s extremely weak and is in a deep sleep. Hence, what can be absorbed is the soul power that has been scattered outside.”

“The Ancient Sovereign’s seal not only nailed the demon snake’s body but also its soul. This demon snake’s hatred for Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether continues for countless years!”

Following the old man’s introduction, Xu Qing and the captain gained a deeper understanding of the Mystic Nether Sect’s land of fortune. After a long time, they chose to leave.

They didn’t pursue the matter of the tributary being diverted. They only told them that they couldn’t go overboard and let them be. As for the large rock at the entrance, after the two of them tried it, they discovered that they indeed couldn’t take it away. This item seemed to have grown here.

The captain was unwilling. He forcibly bit off a piece. However, this was his limit. Hence, under the horrified gazes of these people from the Mystic Nether Sect, the two of them left.

“I keep feeling like I’ve made a loss. I didn’t get anything.” On the way back, the captain sighed.

Xu Qing nodded. He also felt that the harvest this time was too small.

The two of them looked at each other.

“What do you think about that place of fortune of the Mystic Nether Sect? How about we think of a way to absorb it when we get back?” The captain instigated.

Xu Qing hesitated. The figure of Purple Mystic Fairy appeared in his mind and he instinctively didn’t want to go over. This was especially so since he felt that they were only going to be absorbing some scattered soul power.

“However, we’re only going to absorb some scattered soul power. Doing such a small thing is meaningless. If we can think of a way to awaken the soul of that demon snake, we’ll have the greatest benefits by taking a bite of it!” The captain’s eyes seemed to be shining.

Xu Qing was instantly tempted. At that moment, he forgot about Purple Mystic Fairy and began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter. The captain was also pondering.

A while later, the two of them flew out of the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain. When they saw the alliance’s fleet from afar, Xu Qing suddenly spoke.

“Since that demon snake hates Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether to the bone, if it sees someone similar to Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, do you think it’s possible for it to be agitated and wake up from its slumber?”

When the captain heard this, his eyes lit up.

“I was also considering this question just now. You’re talking about Little Jianjian, right…”

Xu Qing nodded and the captain chuckled. The two of them began to discuss some details until they reached the ship. As the ship continued forward, the two of them finalized the details.

“Wu Jianwu didn’t come. He should still be in the Nanhuang Continent and his tracks are in the Phoenix Forbidden.” Xu Qing looked at the captain. How to make him come willingly was the main point.

“That’s simple. That kid worships the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether to the point of madness. I’ll get someone to search for him in the Phoenix Forbidden and send him a message that we found a place related to the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether and there’s a poem personally written by the Ancient Sovereign there!”

“Let me tell you, Little Qing, poems related to the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether are indescribably attractive to Little Jianjian!” The captain was beaming with joy. He immediately used the ship of the Special Security Department to transmit his voice to the sect and began to arrange this matter.

Just like that, time slowly flowed by and several months pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. The patrolling of the river was quite smooth. Gradually, their ships arrived at the end of the tributary.

This was the intersection point between the main river and the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain. At the same time, it was the location of the former Minor Affairs Sect. As they got closer, Xu Qing saw the ruined Minor Affairs Sect and the collapsed dam.

The fragments of this dam were thousands of feet in length and width. One could imagine that before it collapsed, this dam was definitely a wondrous and shocking sight.

Outside the shattered dam and the ruins of the Minor Affairs Sect, Xu Qing and the captain saw a vast sea that surpa.s.sed the tributaries by countless times.

That was… the main river of the Immortal Enrichment River!

The river water churned and surged, and rumbling sounds filled the sky.

The immortal Qi here was extremely dense. In fact, most of the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples couldn’t get too close and felt dizzy as though they were drunk.

Xu Qing’s mind also shook. To the east was the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect. To the west was the vast Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain and behind it… the number one forbidden region of the Yinghuang Province.

After this main river flowed into the forbidden region, it turned black when it flowed out and the anomalous substances in it reached an astonishing level.

There must be an extremely terrifying existence in the forbidden region that reversed the immortal nature of the river and transformed the immortal into anomalous!
