Chapter 960: The Snake Woman Breaks Free
Chapter 960: The Snake Woman Breaks Free
The news of the Gong Family’s destruction shocked the entire Divine Land.Although the Ji Family and Feng Family lost their Celestial Kings, at least their families still exist.
The Gong Family, however, was completely uprooted, and almost all Great Cave Heaven experts were annihilated; those who survived were those not at the Celestial Void Palace.
Everyone knew that the Gong Family was done for, and the era of the Ten Celestial Kings had become history.
The terror of the Ninth Awakening experts showed everyone that no matter how many Ninth Awakening cultivators there were, they might not withstand a single Tenth Awakening.
What’s more incredible is that suddenly, there were thirty to forty such Tenth Awakening experts.
Those returning from the Demon King Banquet all ascended to the Tenth Awakening.
For all the families, this was a monumental blessing, but also an unbearable disaster.
The emergence of Tenth Awakening experts meant that the Celestial Kings’ intimidation effect could no longer suppress the Divine Land and truly ushered in the era where heroes sprang up.
No one could believe that the Great Demon selflessly revealed the secrets to ascending to the Tenth Awakening.
But when they learned that they must enter the Immortal Mountain to ascend to the Tenth Awakening without being taken by the Spirit Devouring God, their minds became complicated.
This meant that the Great Demon held the path to ascending to the Tenth Awakening, and anyone wishing to ascend must seek him out.
For a time, the Great Demon, being talked about by everyone, became the one who decided the fate of the Divine Land.
As long as the Great Demon wished, he could make any family the sole ruler of the Divine Land.
Even the great families were on edge, uncertain of the Great Demon’s intentions, but it was clear that he wasn’t trying to become the ruler of the Divine Land again.
If he wanted to be the ruler of the Divine Land, he wouldn’t have allowed so many outsiders to ascend to the Tenth Awakening.
Soon, news from the Immortal Mountain stabilized the chaos in the Divine Land.
The Immortal Mountain announced the rules for hosting the Immortal Mountain Banquet annually, where geniuses who could leave their names on the Stone of Recognition could participate.
With this announcement, even the Celestial Kings were gearing up, eagerly awaiting the start of the next Immortal Mountain Banquet.
If a Celestial King could ascend to the Tenth Awakening without being taken, their power would far exceed that of ordinary Tenth Awakening cultivators.
But before the next Immortal Mountain Banquet began, the Celestial Kings were not sure if the Great Demon would let them enter the Celestial Secret Realm to ascend to the Tenth Awakening.
Chen Guan had already arrived at the place where the Snake Woman was suppressed, with Little White Cloud flying fast, much faster than usual, with an impatient sensation.
The Snake Woman, suppressed under the mountain, was overjoyed at seeing Chen Guan descend on Little White Cloud: "My dear fellow, you’ve finally returned, you must have gotten the Mountain Shifting Order, quickly help me break free."
Little White Cloud placed Chen Guan on the ground, dissipating into mist and then re-condensing beside the Snake Woman, rubbing her cheek with its body.
"I didn’t get the Mountain Shifting Order," Chen Guan said casually.
The Snake Woman’s plump face immediately showed annoyance: "You’ve been out for so long, yet you didn’t get the Mountain Shifting Order, how could you be so... useless... mmff..."
Little White transformed into a hand, desperately covering the Snake Woman’s mouth, not daring to let her continue.
The Snake Woman didn’t know, but Little White had always been by Chen Guan’s side and knew very well how terrifying he was; killing the Snake Woman was a mere flick of a finger for him.
"Although I didn’t get the Mountain Shifting Order, I have a way to help you break free," Chen Guan said nonchalantly.
This Snake Woman was quite the straightforward person, and Chen Guan naturally wouldn’t argue with her.
"What method do you have to free me? Can it really work?" Little White let go of her mouth, and the Snake Woman immediately asked.
"The method will certainly work, but if I help you break free, you’ll need to do me a favor." Chen Guan said as he looked at the Snake Woman.
"Of course, of course, we’re fellow beings, naturally we help and support each other; everyone for me, I for everyone," the Snake Woman said with an obvious expression.
"It’s better to clarify first, when I free you, you must accompany me to a place, and if we encounter other Secret Spirits, claim we’re from the Serpent Race," Chen Guan said.
"No, no, no, I’m not from the Serpent Race, I’m human..." the Snake Woman shook her head repeatedly.
"I know you’re human, I’m human too; what I mean is, we pretend to be from the Serpent Race to prevent those Secret Spirits from discovering our human nature," Chen Guan said with a squint.
"Why do we pretend to be from the Serpent Race?" The Snake Woman’s expression was peculiar because she was truly from the Serpent Race.
"You know the current situation of humans, if discovered by the Secret Spirits, they’ll surely unite against us..." Chen Guan quickly convinced the Snake Woman.
The Snake Woman, listening to Chen Guan, gradually felt she was truly human and had to consider future safety; posing as part of the Serpent Race seemed like a good idea.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you, quickly rescue me." The Snake Woman realized she was still under pressure.
"I’ll rescue you now," Chen Guan said with a smile.
"Hurry up, what treasure did you get? Besides the Mountain Shifting Order, what other treasure can move this mountain..." the Snake Woman said, suddenly widening her eyes.
She saw Chen Guan extend a hand, directly slap down the mountain peak suppressing her, then the mountain peak flew sideways, crashing into an adjacent peak, causing both peaks to tumble down with a huge earthquake and crash.
"You... you..." The Snake Woman’s mouth hung agape, pointing at Chen Guan, unable to speak for a moment.
To slap away the mountain used by Phecda to suppress her; what tremendous power was this, making it hard for the Snake Woman to believe this was the human she knew.
"My dear fellow, shall we go?" Chen Guan said with a grin.
Little White swooshed over, stopping in front of Chen Guan, its cloud forming a sofa for him to sit comfortably.
Chen Guan sat down, and only then did the Snake Woman react, stepping onto Little White.
"Aren’t you only sixty-odd levels? How did you do that just now?" The Snake Woman asked suspiciously next to Chen Guan.
"I gained some benefits at Wuxiang Divine Palace, now I’m over eighty levels," Chen Guan said casually.
"Did you level up that fast?" The Snake Woman was even more surprised.
But on second thought, even over eighty levels couldn’t explain how Chen Guan could slap away that mountain peak.
"Not fast, it’s actually quite slow."
"Where exactly are we going?" The Snake Woman asked, seeing Chen Guan unwilling to elaborate, so she changed the subject.
"We’re going to your hometown," Chen Guan replied.
"My hometown? What do you mean, my hometown? I don’t have a hometown, I’m like you, human, aren’t we from the same place..." The Snake Woman immediately said.
"No, I mean we’re going to the Serpent Race’s homeland," Chen Guan said plainly.
Where he aimed to go was the Serpent Race within the Celestial Secret Realm; he was about to start his plan for upgrading by devouring the Void Secret Realm, beginning with the Serpent Secret Realm.
