Chapter 993 - Yue’e
Among the books Jiang Chen had read, many of them were myths and legends, which were all about the immortals.
The strongest practitioners, emperors or Martial Divinities, would all die and turn to dust. Only the immortals would live forever and stay young. However, no one had ever achieved that state yet.
The fate of all creatures was almost the same, regardless of strength. The eagerness to be immortal inspired people’s imaginations. They imagined that among the planets, beyond the Milky Way, there was an entrance leading to the land of the immortals. Here, there was a gate called the South Heaven Gate. Walking through the gate, was located the Heavenly Palace where the immortals lived. However, this was only one of the numerous myths that could not be proved.
Jiang Chen still remembered how he had despised these kind of stories. He thought they were only stupid imaginings people had when they were looking at the starry sky. Driven by the wishes of strong men who were unwilling to die, it became popular across the Nine Realms.
It can’t be the Sacred Ground on the Celestial Land.
It must be some big shot who knew a myth like this, so he built such a treasure following the description of the myth, Jiang Chen assumed.
Such things had happened before. Many big shots who had conquered new worlds would construct small worlds according to their own taste so that they could enjoy the pleasure of controlling the whole world.
Azure Demon, in charge of protecting his body, reminded him. Jiang Chen had to go back to the real world. He found many people were approaching from far away.
The Three Middle Realms can’t have such a strong team. They’re from the Seventh Realm. Throwing them a glance, Jiang Chen knew this was the revenge of the Ancient Race. Since he had not got the inheritance of the Heavenly Palace yet, Jiang Chen chose to dodge the attack. He left the valley quickly.
When there was no one around, Jiang Chen ran into a fierce beast, stopping him from entering the Heavenly Palace.
What the hell! Jiang Chen was irritated. He drew his sword out, intending to kill the fierce beast. However, not until halfway through the fight did he find that the fierce beasts living in the forbidden land were extremely strong. It seemed to have infinite strength. He had been invincible ever since he had become a Star Venerable, but at the moment he felt he was struggling.
This was a giant serpent jumping out of the Frozen Pond. It was more than 300 yards long. No knife or sword could pierce through its skin. It would be very difficult to kill. Seeing the fierce look in that pair of green eyes, Jiang Chen felt the danger of the forbidden land in a profound way.
