Chapter 1283: Heavenly People Clan Attacks
Chen Nan had never heard of these secrets before.
Now, he finally understood a bit. He glanced at Ye Yiyi beside him and asked, "In the Ancient Times, was there someone who looked exactly like Yiyi?"
Xuan Tianji said grumpily, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know."
"What should I ask, and what shouldn't I ask?" Chen Nan said, "Qingqing is a descendant of the Saintess, could Yiyi also be a descendant of that person?"
Xuan Tianji shook his head and said, "Things are not as simple as you imagine. When it's time for you to know, you will know."
Chen Nan was speechless.
This old man always used this phrase to brush him off when he didn't want to speak.
Chen Nan knew he couldn't pry anything out, so he didn't bother to ask further, saying, "Is there anything in the Tao Realm that can cure the Qilin Poison Fire?"
"Ancient Cold Spring Water." Xuan Tianji said, "In the Four Extremes World, there is only one Ancient Cold Spring, and its water can cure all poison fires. You just need to get a small cup to cure the poison fire on her body."
Chen Nan asked, "Then how can I enter the Tao Realm?"
"Since the end of the last great battle and the immigration of human cultivators, the world barrier of the Four Extremes World has been reinforced by the joint efforts of many strong individuals, and even my strength cannot pass through it. Unless, the ancient seal is broken, but in doing so, if the Heavenly People Clan takes the opportunity to invade, the defense of the Four Extremes World will be greatly weakened."
Chen Nan said, "If even you cannot enter the Tao Realm, how can I?"
"There is another way to penetrate the sealed world barrier." Xuan Tianji pointed at Chu Wenrou and said, "Your Chu family ancestor was a prominent figure back then, and although they perished in the divine war, they left an Innate Treasure, the Heavenly Ascending Ladder."
"Heavenly Ascending Ladder?" Chu Wenrou asked in confusion, "But I've never heard of it."
"Your father certainly knows." Xuan Tianji said, "This Heavenly Ascending Ladder is an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it connects the Nine Heavens above and the Nine Netherworld below. It can traverse the void, penetrating the world barrier. However, it must be controlled by the combination of Pure Yin Power and Pure Yang Power."
Xuan Tianji looked at the two of them and said, "In other words, you two must act together to activate this Heavenly Ascending Ladder and open a space channel."
"If I go to the Tao Realm, what about Yiyi? How long can she hold on?" Chen Nan asked.
Xuan Tianji pointed at Chu Wenrou, "This girl's Pure Yin Power can to some extent suppress the Poison Fire, so there is no immediate danger to her life."
"I'll do my best to help her." Chu Wenrou said.
Xuan Tianji nodded and said, "This Heavenly Ascending Ladder belongs to your Chu family. Later, I'll go with you to find your father, Chu Jianghai. But before that, you must first use Pure Yin Power to place two seals on Yiyi to suppress the Poison Fire and delay its next outbreak."
Chu Wenrou said, "Please teach me the sealing technique."
"Old thing, you teach this little girl." Xuan Tianji beckoned to the monk, and then pulled Chen Nan aside, saying, "Kid, in the Tao Realm, it's a journey filled with countless dangers, and the slightest mistake could result in dying in a foreign place, where not even your bones would be found. You must think clearly whether to go or not."
Chen Nan didn't hesitate for a moment: "Of course I have to go, otherwise what about Yiyi?"
"Honestly, both of you have comparable talents, and your potential in cultivation is immeasurable in the future. As your master, both of you are like my own flesh and blood, it's really hard to decide. You need to think clearly, if you don't go, with Chu Wenrou's help, there's a ten percent chance Yiyi can survive. And if you go to the Tao Realm, there's only a ten percent chance you'll come back alive, and there's no certainty you can get the Ancient Cold Spring Water." Xuan Tianji said.
"Even if there's only a one percent chance of coming back alive, I have to go." Chen Nan said.
"As long as you've decided." Xuan Tianji sighed and said, "It's a pity that we old fellows have to guard the mortal world, defending against the Heavenly People Clan. Otherwise, your master could have gone personally."
Chen Nan grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'm tough, I'll definitely bring back the Cold Spring Water."
"The Cold Spring is located on Tian Han Mountain in the western part of the Tao Realm. After you arrive in the Tao Realm, just inquire about Tian Han Mountain." Xuan Tianji instructed, taking out a storage ring and giving it to Chen Nan, saying, "There are high-tech gadgets inside, do not use them unless absolutely necessary."
"What is it?" Chen Nan took the ring.
Xuan Tianji said, "Maybe useful in critical moments, nuclear weapon, atomic bomb."
Atomic bomb!
Chen Nan was truly shocked, quickly recognizing the ring by dripping blood on it and opening it: "Why is there only one? Give me a few more, and once I reach the Tao Realm, whoever dares provoke me, I'll blow them up with an atomic bomb."
Xuan Tianji knocked him on the head and said grumpily, "I'm sending you to get Cold Spring Water, not to cause destruction. This nuclear bomb has a yield of one million tons, with a kill radius of nearly 7 kilometers, and a destruction area of 150 square kilometers. Its power is difficult to resist below the Immortal Domain Realm."
Chen Nan said, "Anyway, you're stingy. Being one of the three giants of the military, giving me a few more won't kill you, will it?"
Xuan Tianji ignored him, took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant, handed it to Chen Nan, and said, "After obtaining the Cold Spring Water, go to the Purple Bamboo Forest in the southern Tao Realm, find a woman named Yafeng, and show her this jade pendant. She also has a Heavenly Ascending Ladder, and can open a space for you to return to the mortal world."
Chen Nan asked in confusion, "Why are there two Heavenly Ascending Ladders?"
"This treasure was refined from the essence of chaos at the beginning of Heaven and Earth, and there are three pieces in total. Besides these two, another one is in the Demon Realm." Xuan Tianji said.
Chen Nan scratched his head: "Then who is this Yafeng? She's not an old flame of yours, is she?"
Xuan Tianji's eyes widened, "Blame you! She's a disciple I took before the ancient war. At that time you can call her senior sister."
Chen Nan said, "Then her cultivation must be high, right? Once I get to the Tao Realm, I can just find her to help me get the Cold Spring Water, wouldn't that save a lot of trouble?"
"No, her cultivation is high, but she can never leave that Purple Bamboo Forest, otherwise she will surely die."
Chen Nan asked in perplexity, "Why is that?"
"You don't need to ask more, just find her after you get the spring water. She also has a Pure Yin Physique, and can help you activate the Heavenly Ascending Ladder."
At this moment, Chu Wenrou had already learned the sealing technique.
She used Pure Yin Power, placing three seals on Ye Yiyi to suppress the Poison Fire.
"Come with me to find your father."
Xuan Tianji glanced at Chu Wenrou, but as soon as he finished speaking, a "buzz" of trembling sounded, and the sky began to shake violently.
Xuan Tianji and the monk both turned pale: "Damn, the Heavenly People Clan is bombarding the seal again, trying to cross the realm."
