Chapter 504: kan inscription, Mistaken Identity

Ji Feng wanted to dodge, but at this moment he felt his body was imprisoned by an invisible force, unable to move at all.

"My life is over!"

At this critical moment.

A golden light suddenly descended from the sky, blocking in front of Ji Feng.

"Bang!"

The small green ball exploded, shattering the golden light. But Ji Feng also used this buffer to crush a life-saving jade talisman, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Ran away?"

Zhou Chen looked at the empty ground and shook his head with some regret.

"Forget it, the monk can run but the temple can't; it's fine to nurture the opportunity panel a bit more."

Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at a mountain peak not far away.

A woman wearing a golden battle skirt stood there.

That golden light just now was emitted by her.

It was surprisingly Nangong Yue from the Nangong Family.

"Your Excellency, what is the meaning of this?"

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of dangerous light.

Nangong Yue looked at him coldly, the long sword in her hand trembling slightly.

"Sorry, Ji Feng owes me a favor. I've saved him once, so we're even."

After saying that, she gave Zhou Chen a deep look, turned around, and left.

"Interesting."

Zhou Chen did not pursue; mainly because time was tight and the task was heavy now, with so many opportunities, he would lose out significantly if he delayed.

The astral wind of the Third Great Path, having lost its core Law of Wind, became like a pool of stagnant water, limp and without temper.

"Interesting."

Zhou Chen's figure flickered and he disappeared directly from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had arrived in front of a seemingly ordinary stone wall.

The surface of this stone wall was pitted and covered in moss, no different from the ruins elsewhere.

If not for the guidance of the System map, even if an Immortal Emperor came, they would probably ignore it as a piece of rotten stone.

Zhou Chen reached out and pressed his hand against the stone wall.

At the center of his palm, the Space Law vibrated slightly.

"Buzz—"

A layer of water-like ripples appeared on the surface of the stone wall.

Immediately after, an extremely subtle yet vast-as-the-sea aura seeped out from inside the stone wall.

This aura was feminine and long-lasting, carrying a sense of heaviness that encompassed all things.

The Great Dao of Water!

Zhou Chen was delighted.

The designer of this Heaven-Reaching Immortal Path was truly a devious old bastard.

Clearly it was the home ground of the Great Dao of Wind, yet a water-attribute treasure was hidden in the corner.

This is like hiding a box of sanitary pads in a men's restroom; who could have thought of that?

"Open."

Zhou Chen shouted in a low voice.

The Space Law transformed into an invisible sharp blade, cutting down fiercely along that layer of ripples.

"Rip—"

It sounded like the sound of some silk being torn.

A person-high opening cracked open in the stone wall.

Zhou Chen stepped inside.

The scene before his eyes changed instantly.

It was no longer desolate ruins, nor was there any violent astral wind.

This was a secret room only ten zhang square.

The four walls of the secret room were all built from deep blue crystals, emitting a faint blue light.

In the very center of the secret room, a simple bronze altar was placed.

On the altar, a fragmented rune was suspended.

That rune was crystal clear throughout, as if condensed from the purest water flow; although a corner was missing, it still emitted a heart-palpitating Dao pressure.

kan inscription Fragment!

Zhou Chen's breathing stopped for a moment.

According to the previous System prompt, this thing was originally supposed to be in the "Water-Moon Cave Heaven" of the Fifth Great Path, and was the Opportunity of that sissy Xuanyuan Lan.

How could it appear here?

Zhou Chen's mind raced, and he quickly understood the key.

A wily hare has three burrows.

That Old Ancestor of the Xuanyuan Family probably feared his descendants would be too stupid to find it, or feared it would be snatched by others first, so he divided this Inscription into several parts and hid them in different places.

There is one part in the Fifth Great Path, and another part hidden here.

"As long as one can get any one of them, they can sense the locations of the other parts."

Zhou Chen strode toward the altar.

At the moment his foot stepped onto the altar steps.

"Boom!"

A soft yet peerless force suddenly rose from the altar, turning into a blue light curtain that blocked him.

Immediately after.

The light of the fragmented rune flared up.

An illusory figure slowly floated out from the rune.

It was an old man wearing a blue robe, with white hair and beard, a kind face, and no trace of worldly aura, just like an ordinary old grandfather next door.

But as he stood there, the surrounding space was slightly distorting, as if unable to bear his existence.

Immortal Emperor remnant soul!

Zhou Chen keenly captured a trace of immortal aura; it seemed to be an Immortal Emperor who had already touched the threshold of a higher level.

"How many years has it been…"

The old man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat blurred as he looked at Zhou Chen, his voice seeming to drift from ancient time and space: "Finally, someone has found this place."

Zhou Chen stopped his steps, cupped his hands in a Junior's salute, with that trademark honest smile on his face.

"Junior Lin Dong greets Senior."

Acting, he was a professional.

The old man sized up Zhou Chen, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Not bad, less than ten thousand years of bone age, yet already possessing such cultivation, and even more rare, actually proficient in Space Law, able to discover this hidden door I left behind."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems my Xuanyuan Family is not destined to end, and there is a successor."

Zhou Chen's heart skipped a beat.

This is bad.

This old guy mistook him for a descendant of the Xuanyuan Family.

It's no wonder; this secret room was hidden so deep that except for those with Xuanyuan Family Bloodline or special tokens, it was extremely difficult for outsiders to discover.

Zhou Chen could enter purely because he used a cheat.

"Senior misunderstood, actually I…"

Zhou Chen just wanted to speak and explain.

But the old man waved his hand, interrupting him: "No need to say more. Being able to enter is fate. Regardless of whether you are from a branch or the main line, since you have arrived here, this kan inscription is your fortune."

The old man clearly didn't have much time to listen to nonsense.

This remnant soul of his had existed for too long, its energy was exhausted, and now that it was awakened, it was about to dissipate.

"Listen well, descendant."

The old man's expression became serious: "This kan inscription was obtained by me in a Chaos ruin back then, containing the supreme Great Dao of Water. I divided it into three parts and hid them in various places on the Immortal Path, in order to test the Opportunity and wisdom of future generations."

"Today you have obtained one, which means you have the qualification to compete for the complete Great Dao."

"Remember, flowing water does not compete for the lead; it competes for its endless flow!"

After saying that.

The old man extended his finger and tapped lightly on the Seal on the altar.

"Break!"

The blue light curtain blocking Zhou Chen instantly shattered, turning into dots of starlight and dissipating into the air.

The fragmented kan inscription, having lost its restraint, jumped joyfully, like a puppy waiting for its owner to claim it.

The old man's figure began to become transparent, but the smile on his face became increasingly kind.

"Go, child. Take it, and rebuild the glory of my Xuanyuan Family…"
