Chapter 192: Chapter 172: Arrival and the Heavenly Person Seal

Translator: 549690339

Since we are here, let us make the best of it.

Chen Sheng and the other were completely oblivious of their surroundings.

They had no choice but to let their bodies continue plummeting in this seemingly boundless darkness.

All of the sudden, a slimy touch was felt, originating from his shoulder.

It seemed like something was sliding over his body, covering it entirely, and came with a slight stinging sensation.

Could it be…

His body instinctively reacted with goosebumps.

Immediately after,

Chen Sheng quickly realized what the slimy liquid covering his body was.

“Hey, what is this—

Dread crawled over his mind.

He was about to ask Shen Ziming.

But the liquid moved swiftly and reached his neck in the blink of an eye.

Fearing it might enter his mouth, Chen Sheng hurriedly closed it.

At the same time,

A whimpering sound came from beside him.

Without much thought, Chen Sheng knew Shen Ziming had fallen into the same situation as him.

Before he could figure out what the black liquid intended to do,

Splash

Water splashed everywhere.

The descending that last for about a dozen seconds finally came to a halt at this moment.

They landed in water and were being constantly pulled deeper by the black liquid.

Another dozen seconds passed.

Whirling

Chen Sheng could distinctly feel himself sinking in the water. Then, he suddenly burst out of the surface and fell again.

In an instant, his back touched the hard ground.

The black liquid that wrapped his body faded quickly.

Only then did Chen Sheng dare to breath through his mouth and nose.

He immediately looked around.

“This is…”

The view in front of Chen Sheng left him entranced.

The water surface above his head commanded subtle ripples, but not a single drop fell.

The place where he was, a corridor stretching as far as eyes could see laid out, paved with gray bricks.

Along the both sides of the passage, torches were hung every few meters.

But rather than flames, the torches were ensnared by a white thunder, which casted light, illuminating the corridor in front.

The light emitted by the thunder reflected off the rippling water surface above, passing through the water and producing an alternating bright and dark pattern in the entire corridor, making it look deep and eerie.

After a brief inspection of the surroundings, Chen Sheng turned his gaze to Shen Ziming who was not far away.

He had just recovered from the dizzying sensation of falling and was trying to support his body with his remaining arm.

The black liquid slowly left his body and seeped into the cracks in the bricks beneath him.

“Where is this…”

Shen Ziming looked around.

As he spoke, he struggled up and walked towards Chen Sheng, intending to help him up.

“No need, I can do it.”

Chen Sheng waved his hand.

During the previous scramble, the commotion caused by the Respected Elder battling the black liquid had gradually become distant.

Now,

The two of them who had arrived at the corridor ought to be safe for now.

Although his body had not yet recovered, Chen Sheng didn’t want to be a burden in case of an emergency.

He planned to use this time to get used to his liquid limbs, at least to carry out basic actions.

After a little movement, Chen Sheng slowly stood up from the ground.

At first, his stance was somewhat unsteady.

But he soon adapted and stood shoulder to shoulder with Shen Ziming.

The two looked at both sides. Inside the corridor,

One side was darkling.

The other side was bright.

Behind them, the sides of the corridor had torches hanging but no thunder entwining them.

Only in front of them, three to four torches were lit, as if guiding them forward.

Seeing this,

It was clear what they should do.

“Shall we go?” “Let’s go.”

Like that.

Both of them stepped forward, progressing deeper into the corridor.

As they continued,

At every few meters, torches would light up, allowing them to inspect the view ahead.

Chen Sheng noted that, there were traces of moss in the crevices of both sides of the corridor’s wall.

From this, it could be inferred that this corridor might have an exit leading to the outside world.

Upon this realization, there was a palpable sense of relief.

If they could leave the sealed land from another exit, they might be able to avoid an encounter with the Respected Elder.

Even though a part of him wanted to kill that man, the current lack of strength forced Chen Sheng to demonstrate patience.

“That Respected Elder… he must be the same as me.”

While on the move,

Shen Ziming suddenly spoke out.

Chen Sheng turned to look at him, he wasn’t surprised at all by this conclusion.

The ability demonstrated by the Respected Elder earlier was too terrifying.

From the beginning to the end,

Chen Sheng never saw the Elder make any movements.

He just stood there, controlling that invisible force, almost crushing him to death.

In face of such a method,

At the very least, Chen Sheng had never seen a martial artist to have this power.

“The Heavenly Person Cells in my body have a mutual sensing ability.”

“When he showed up, I instinctively began to fear him. That’s the instinctual fear of someone lesser in face of someone greater, it even prevented me from using my own abilities.”

“If this happened, it’s certainly because his body also contains Heavenly Person Cells, and in an amount far surpassing mine.”

“If it wasn’t for the sudden appearance of the black liquid holding him back, I wouldn’t have been able to rescue you.” Upon hearing this,

Chen Sheng had a thoughtful look on his face.

“Do you think, there’s a possibility”

“That the damn old man… is a Heavenly Person?”

The Elderly’s power was too overbearing, Chen Sheng couldn’t help but express this thought.

However,

In response to Chen Sheng’s conjecture, Shen Ziming decisively shook his head.

“I have been to other Sealed Lands before. When I approached the Heavenly Person Seal, I felt an overwhelming fear of being in the direct sight of a god, far beyond what the Respected Elder could cause.”

“If I had to describe my feelings about the Elder, I would say it’s like drowning in a river.”

“But facing a Heavenly Person is like being thrown into a deep ocean.”

“Unable to breathe, unable to move, unable to do anything, I could only continuously experience that deep, bone-chilling fear.”

While he spoke.

It seemed as if he had thought of some unpleasant memory, his face showed a look of residual fear, even his breathing became somewhat heavy.

Upon hearing his words,

Chen Sheng only felt a heavy heart.

With his current strength, he would be utterly powerless in front of the respected elder who was not even a Heavenly Person.

When he truly confronts a Heavenly Person, how will he resist then?

“Huff—”

Feeling depressed, Chen Sheng couldn’t help but take a long breath.

YOU saw—’

He turned his head to Shen Ziming, preparing to speak.

However, at this moment,

Shen Ziming’s eyes narrowed, as if he saw something.

“That is….”

Chen Sheng followed his gaze.

He could see a stately brick not far ahead on the walls of the corridor. It was emanating a faint green glow.

Both of them quickly approached.

“Interesting.”

Shen Ziming attempted to pry off a corner of the brick.

He had assumed that the glow should be from the back of the brick.

However, to his surprise, it was the brick itself that was glowing.

Even though everything under heaven and earth could potentially become a Spirit Seed.

“This kind of Spirit Seed…is quite rare.”

Although strange, it was still strange.

Shen Ziming did not plan to give up on the brick.

Coming to the Sealed Land, the two of them had either been fleeing or killing.

This was their first gain.

Of course, they would not pass it up.

Thinking of this,

Shen Ziming immediately removed the complete brick and held it in his hand.

They set off again.

“Speaking of which, I do not seem to have seen the existence of Qi Jie Stone?” All the way, Chen Sheng had seen spirit medicine, now spirit seeds were appearing.

But the Qi Jie Stone they were looking for was nowhere to be seen.

“No rush.”

Shen Ziming shook his head slowly.

“Qi Jie Stones generally can only be seen near a Heavenly Person Seal.”

“Since we have not yet reached where the Heavenly Person Seal is, it is normal not to see Qi Jie Stones.”

Hearing this,

Chen Sheng nodded in understanding.

They both remained silent, simply advancing forward continuously in the corridor.

Step.

Step.

The corridor was eerily quiet.

Only their increasingly urgent footsteps echoed.

Initially,

Due to Chen Sheng’s body not adapting to the liquid limbs, their speed was somewhat slower.

However, as Chen Sheng familiarized himself,

Their speed increased.

About 10 minutes later.

In front of them, the endless corridor finally ended.

Looking at the spacious area in the distance at the end of their line of sight.

They couldn’t resist accelerating their steps.

Whoosh—

An empty grand hall came into view.

Compared to the quiet darkness of the corridor,

This grand hall was evidently much brighter.

At the end of Chen Sheng’s sight,

A huge door about five to six meters high, four meters wide, towered at the deepest part of the grand hall.

This door was slightly ajar.

Through the crack, Chen Sheng could clearly see the rolling, ocean-like thunder fluid inside, which was continually escaping through the crack.

The brightness in the grand hall was thanks to numerous thunder snakes dancing on the ground.

And this,

Caused Chen Sheng and Shen Ziming to stop in their tracks.

“What should we do?”

They looked at each other.

Neither dared to step forward rashly.

If they were not mistaken, this thunder was terrifying enough to oppose a Respected Elder.

If they are not careful,

Eight out of ten, they will be directly stricken to ashes.

Just as they hesitated.

In the grand hall, the thunder seemed to sense their arrival.

The originally chaotic, wild thunder snakes in the grand hall suddenly changed direction and started crawling towards the stone walls on all sides.

And the black liquid that was guiding them earlier was continuously emerging from the gaps in the bricks.

In the blink of an eye,

It stained the floor of the grand hall into a black waterway.

Next second.

Accompanied by the thunder constantly disappearing into the stone wall.

Several murals one after another, were presented before both of them.

On top it seemed to be depicting the sequel to the murals in the melting cave Chen Sheng visited when they first reached the Sealed Land.

On the first,

It depicts the one-horned, one-eyed giant cow, receiving the worship of ancient humans.

They were offering their hard-earned prey, as if wishing to obtain the favor of this alien beast.

On the second,

A humanoid creature stood in the sky.

On the ground were ancient humans fleeing in all directions, as well as bodies and broken limbs strewn everywhere.

And the one-eyed giant cow, was also depicted in this mural.

The position where it was painted was quite distant from the fleeing ancient humans.

From here, Chen Sheng could see that the mural was quite skillfully painted.

It vividly portrayed the indifference and mockery in the eyes of the one-eyed giant cow.

In the face of the slaughter of the humans who once worshipped him,

It just stood far away, indifferent, as if watching a performance.

On the third,

The humanoid figure that stood in the sky was no longer present.

On the ground,

A mountam ot corpses Ignited a nuge tire.

Near this fire, about seven or eight human figures stood alone.

They,

Were all looking in the same direction.

That was the direction of the one-eyed giant cow. That was the direction of the god they once worshipped….
