Chen Fan headed east, passing through the Dead Swamp. The place is filled with poisonous miasma and dense swamps, making walking difficult. If you are not careful, you will fall into the mud and even be attacked by monsters.
The east side of the swamp is more remote, and there are fewer warriors active here. Chen Fan met some mercenaries on the road who were searching for monsters and special medicinal materials. Most of them were not at a high level and were in the state of gathering and condensing energy.
Chen Fan had no intention of conflict with them. Every time he encountered mercenaries, he would actively avoid them to avoid having their faces remembered and their whereabouts revealed. That night, he pondered for a long time and threw the Sky-Splitting Sword and Ice Armor given to him by Nangong Ce into the swamp.
Both the Sky-Splitting Sword and the Ice Armor are extraordinary secret treasures, which were originally refined by Nangong Shang himself. The sword and armor contain Nangong Shang's spiritual consciousness, which may be sensed by Nangong Shang within a certain range.
Although he knew that the two were valuable, Chen Fan resolutely sank them into the swamp in order to save his life. The filthy poisonous water is extremely corrosive, and Chen Fan believes that it can cut off Nangong Shang's consciousness detection.
After settling in, Chen Fan continued heading east.
Among the leaves of a shrub, Chen Fan stood there quietly, restraining his breath and staring straight ahead. Three nights later, the sound of fierce fighting came from a wetland ahead. Judging from the sound, the battle situation seems to be one-sided.
Although he was full of curiosity, Chen Fan still refrained from watching, and planned to wait until the battle was over before continuing to move eastward. A quarter of an hour passed, and the sound of fighting in front gradually subsided. Chen Fan still didn't move. He waited for another half an hour and made sure that everyone over there had left. Then he walked out of the shrubs and leaves and walked towards the wetland.
That wetland is surrounded by swamps on both sides, and you must pass through here if you want to continue eastward. After Chen Fan arrived at the wetland, he found seven or eight corpses lying on the ground. Their essence had long dissipated between heaven and earth. Chen Fan did not get any benefit from them.
These corpses obviously came from the same mercenary group, and the armor styles on their bodies were similar. They seemed to have been attacked by monsters, their bodies were torn to pieces, and their deaths were miserable. Chen Fan glanced at these corpses and realized that no valuable information could be obtained from them, so he quickened his pace, hoping to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"Sure enough, you got Ouyang Zhi's Star Martial Soul Source Seal!" Xia Xinyan's voice came from the bushes.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Xinyan's figure appeared from behind the leaves of the shrub. She was covered with a veil and had a graceful figure. Behind her, two towering men were holding gray cloths to wipe the blood on their hands.
Chen Fan's eyes narrowed and he asked: "Did you kill these people?"
Xia Xinyan nodded and did not explain why she wanted to kill these mercenaries. Instead, she stared at Chen Fan with burning eyes and said for a long time: "Ouyang Zhi is a legendary figure in our Endless Sea, the Star God of the Three Gods Religion. The cultivation level of the Third Heaven Realm is only one step away from the Heaven-reaching Realm.”
"What exactly do you know? The Three Gods Religion? The Star God?" Chen Fan asked in surprise.
Xia Xinyan replied calmly: "Thousands of years ago, the three gods of the Three Gods Sect, the Sun, the Moon and the Star, entered the seventh underworld together and started a fierce battle with Abi Pluto in the sea of underworld. However, they were defeated by Abi Pluto with 30 million underworld soldiers. Hell' trapped, it was the most brutal battle in the seven underworlds for thousands of years. This battle caused heavy losses to the Three Gods Religion, and many believers died unfortunately. After the battle, only the Sun God among the three gods of the Three Gods Religion He was able to survive from the seventh level of the underworld, but the Moon God and the Star God disappeared mysteriously. Of the 30 million underworld soldiers under Abi Pluto, only 5 million survived. It is said that Abi Pluto himself was seriously injured and never came out of the depths of the underworld again. Show up.”
Hearing this, Chen Fan's eyes were full of doubts, and he shook his head and said: "Are you saying that the Tianmen was constructed by the Star God, one of the three gods of the sun, moon and star?"
"That's right." Xia Xinyan nodded lightly and explained: "After that battle, many people thought that the Moon God and the Star God were dead. Indeed, they have never appeared in the Endless Sea in the past thousand years. According to Jue Judging from the pseudo-tianmen and visions in Yin Valley, Ouyang Zhi was indeed seriously injured in the seventh underworld and was probably dead. But before he died, he came here for unknown reasons and slaughtered the eighth-level demon beast Ni Ze Jiao. Jiao's demon crystal and remaining power created this pseudo-Tianmen and pseudo-god realm, leaving the source seal of his martial spirit and leaving a legacy for his martial spirit."
"Martial Soul Source Seal!" Chen Fan exclaimed, subconsciously looking at his heart with a strange look on his face.
Xia Xinyan continued to explain: "The martial soul source seal is the brand of the martial soul. After a warrior obtains the martial soul source seal, he can possess the martial soul. When the powerful in the divine realm know that they will die, they can use their great supernatural powers to kill themselves. The martial soul is transformed into the martial soul source seal to prevent the martial soul from being lost. The symbol of the star martial soul is the star spots on the heart, as if the vast star sea map has been reduced billions of times. "
After hearing these words, Chen Fan's eyes instantly lit up. He looked at the heart on his chest in surprise and asked, "Is this a martial spirit?"
"Are martial spirits also divided into levels?" Chen Fan asked in surprise.
"Of course," Xia Xinyan replied, "Based on the power of the martial spirit and the number of evolutions, it can be divided into ordinary level, mysterious level, spiritual level, holy level, and divine level. The greater the power, the stronger the magical power, and the more times it can evolve. The more martial souls you have, the more powerful they will naturally be. For example, the three martial souls of the Sun, Moon and Star of the Three Gods Sect, and the reincarnation martial souls of our Xia family, are all saint-level martial souls."
"What about our Chen family's iron martial spirit?"
"I can't make an estimate without going through a special evaluation. But I think it's at most a spirit-level martial spirit. Among you, I've never heard of a holy-level martial spirit. The level of a martial spirit depends on the The power also depends on how many times it can evolve and to what point it can finally evolve. The details are very complicated. In the Endless Sea, there are special spirit halls to do these things. At what level a spirit is, they have the most power. say."
"Are holy-level martial spirits rare?"
"Of course it's rare! In the Endless Sea, Saint-level martial spirits are the highest-level spirits. Families with Saint-level spirits are the most powerful forces in the Endless Sea. Do you think Saint-level spirits are rare?"
"So, I found a treasure this time?" Chen Fan asked excitedly.
Xia Xinyan smiled and replied: "What do you think?"
"Miss Xia, thank you for telling me so much. I want to go to the Endless Sea. Are we on the way?" Chen Fan asked expectantly.
Xia Xinyan suddenly fell silent, thinking about things in her mind. If Chen Fan never goes to the Endless Sea for the rest of his life, then there will be little conflict of interest between him and her. But once Chen Fan steps into the Endless Sea and displays the Star Martial Spirit, the people of the Three Gods Sect will find him at all costs, praise him as the Son of God, and provide him with the best training environment.
The Xia family has a direct conflict of interest with the Three Gods Religion. The star martial spirit in Chen Fan is destined to make him one of the future strongmen of the Three Gods Religion. He went to the Endless Sea, which would undoubtedly bring potential threats to the Xia family.
"Miss!" The two tower-like men beside him reminded her cautiously.
Xia Xinyan stared at Chen Fan deeply, with complicated meanings flashing in her bright eyes: "Are you really going to the Endless Sea?"
Chen Fan was stunned, not understanding what Xia Xinyan meant, so he pondered for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "In this situation, if I don't go to the Endless Sea, can I still survive in Tianyue City? Nangong Shang is in the Merchant Alliance How powerful is my influence? You also know that if I return to the Merchant Alliance, not only will I die, but the Chen family will also suffer. There is nothing I can do."
Xia Xinyan was silent for a while and suddenly said: "To tell you the truth, our Xia family and the Three Gods Sect belong to two camps. With the star martial spirit in your body, once you go to the Endless Sea, there is a great possibility that you will Become an important figure in the Three Gods Religion. In the future, you will be my enemy, and you will be a powerful enemy!"
After hearing this, Chen Fan's expression suddenly turned cold. He subconsciously took a few steps back, keeping a distance from Xia Xinyan and the others, and sneered: "The three of you are staying here to eliminate future troubles! Miss Xia, I don’t understand why you talk so much nonsense to me, do you want me to be a sensible person?”
Xia Xinyan looked at Chen Fan firmly and replied: "Chen Fan, I know you are in a difficult situation now, but I must tell you this. Because before you set foot on the Endless Sea, we were still friends. I hope you can understand Make the best choice for yourself based on your own situation.”
The two towering men behind Xia Xinyan walked out with cold expressions and stood on either side of her, obviously intending to harm Chen Fan.
Sensing the two men's intentions, Chen Fan's heart suddenly rang with alarm bells. However, at this moment, Xia Xinyan frowned and shouted softly: "Stop it first."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two big men stopped moving, but still stared at Chen Fan closely, obviously not completely letting down their guard. Xia Xinyan then made a suggestion to Chen Fan: "You can join my Xia family first and become a worshiper of my Xia family. I will plant a poison in you, and then arrange for you to enter the Three Gods Religion and go to Learn the secret techniques of the Three Gods Religion. No matter what position you climb in the Three Gods Religion in the future, you will always be a member of my Xia family, how about that?"
Hearing this suggestion, Chen Fan couldn't help but sneer and said: "Go to the Three Gods Sect and become your Xia family's mole?"
"The mole? This title is very appropriate. Yes, that's what it means." Xia Xinyan admitted frankly, then looked at him and said: "What do you think? As long as you agree, I will try my best to help you! As long as you I have learned secret techniques from theology, and if you don’t deal with my Xia family in the future, I swear I will never embarrass you!”
After some thinking, Chen Fan finally said: "I promise you." After all, he is currently in trouble, and having such an opportunity may be his best choice to get out of the current predicament.
