Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 708: Water God Palace Appears

Chen Wang originally wanted to practice peacefully in the overseas cultivation world.

But recently the overseas cultivation world has not been peaceful and there has been trouble. The cause was that a group of cultivators discovered a relic while exploring for treasures on the seabed.

This is an ancient palace. Three ancient characters can be vaguely seen on the plaque above the palace: Water God Palace.

The Water God Palace is a spiritual practice force from ancient times that has disappeared from the world many years ago.

The highest level of cultivation among this group of cultivators was only in the late Jindan stage, so they were naturally overjoyed to unexpectedly discover the Water God Palace.

Before they used water magic to reach the Water God Palace, the Palace was already devoid of any spiritual energy and the palace was exposed to the sea water.

However, this group of Jindan stage cultivators discovered that there were no living creatures in the water flow in the Water God Palace.

There is no light entering the Water God Palace, making it look very dark and gloomy.

This group of monks was led by three people.

There are three brothers in the Jiang family. The eldest brother, Jiang Ping, is handsome and scholarly. He wears a long sword on his waist with a golden tassel hanging down, making him look elegant and noble.

The second brother, Jiang Ming, was a burly man with a scar on his face. He was injured by some unknown weapon, but even at the level of Jindan, the scar could not be healed.
The scar ran from his left eye to the right corner of his mouth, making his originally ordinary face look somewhat hideous.

He held a shield in each hand, with many runes on it.

The third brother, Jiang Hai, is a young-looking cultivator with thick black eyebrows. He looks slightly similar to Jiang Ping, but not as handsome as Jiang Ping.

The cultivation levels of these three people are all Golden Core. In addition to them, there are two other Golden Core cultivators, one is called Fang Daoren and the other is called Tuxingzi.

This time, the five of them got a treasure map and went deep into the seabed to look for the treasure.

But I didn't expect that this treasure actually recorded the legendary ancient ruins of the Water God Palace.

Jiang Ping was the calmest among the group. He said in a deep voice, "The Water God Palace is an ancient relic. You all need to be extra cautious. If any restrictions are triggered, we will die here."

The Jiang brothers naturally had no objection, and Fang Daoren and Tuxingzi also expressed that they would follow Jiang Ping's lead.

Jiang Ping was a talented leader. He took out a talisman, which instantly came to life and turned into two little men who came forward to explore.

Jiang Ping said: "Let the puppet explore the way for us first, so that we can deal with any abnormalities."

Taoist Fang said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is indeed very thoughtful."

Everyone suppressed their nervousness and sent out puppets to explore.
They found that there were no restrictions and no spiritual energy inside. After exploring it, they all put their worries aside and went deeper into it.

After passing through a deep passage, the sea water could no longer enter.

Although the spiritual energy here has been exhausted, there seems to be a special mechanism that can block the sea water.

They entered an empty hall with some runes carved on the floor tiles. There were only a few copper pillars in the hall. It was empty and dark, with no human figures.

But there was a coffin placed in the center of the hall.

Everyone was a little surprised. Why was there a coffin placed in the Water God Palace?
Jiang Ping looked at Taoist Fang with a vigilant look on his face and asked, "Fellow Daoist Fang, what do you think the runes in this place mean?"

Among the crowd, Taoist Fang is a master of talismans. He is good at making talismans and is very authoritative in this area.

Taoist Fang observed it intently for a long time, shook his head and said, "It is very mysterious. The runes on it are very ancient, and I don't know them either."

After everyone entered, the hall was quiet, with no sound except their footsteps.

Jiang Ping came to the coffin and suddenly stopped.

Jiang Mingdao, the second son of the Jiang family, said, "What happened to my eldest brother?"

Jiang Ping said in surprise: "This coffin has been opened."

Everyone's eyes were on the coffin at this moment.

Sure enough, although the coffin looked tightly fitted, it actually showed signs of having been moved.

They were all cultivators in the Jindan stage, not ordinary people, and they all offered up their magic weapons at this time.

Jiang Ping said in a deep voice: "There might be some trouble in this place, so be careful."

Tuxingzi took out a black incense stick and inserted it into the gap between the floor tiles of the hall. Then he took out a piece of talisman paper. The talisman on the talisman paper was not orthodox, but bright red. He muttered something.

This incense burns very steadily.

Everyone knows Tuxingzi's abilities. He is good at digging graves and robbing tombs. He has dug up the graves of many great monks. His current level of cultivation is closely related to this ability.

This was not the first time he had lit this incense. Every time the incense burned smoothly, it meant that the place was safe.

There were only two times when something went wrong with the incense after Tu Xingzi had burned it, so he asked everyone to leave.

However, with the treasure in front of them, everyone's spiritual perception did not detect any danger, and three of them stayed behind.

It is unknown what restriction was triggered that time, and the three people died tragically in the hall, and there has been no news of them since then.

Everyone held their breath and watched nervously as the incense flickered, looking very eye-catching in this deep and dark hall.

When the incense was halfway burned, Tu Xingzi said, "It looks like there's no problem."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the flame on the incense suddenly rose two feet high and burned completely.

Tu Xingzi's face changed drastically, and he said quickly: "Something is wrong, let's go! This place is a dangerous place!"

Everyone rushed out quickly.

The last time Saturn was tested, someone died.

Although the Water God Palace is extremely tempting, they are not in a hurry.

But just as everyone was retreating, they found that the door of the hall had been closed at some point.

Taoist Fang's face turned pale.
"What should I do?"

The second son of the Jiang family had a murderous look on his face, and said in a cold voice: "There was clearly no problem with this palace when we explored it earlier, but now the gate is suddenly closed. How can we know if there is not a cultivator deliberately playing tricks nearby."

The second son of the Jiang family has a hot temper. Even though he was stabbed by someone before, he still can't hide his murderous rage.

At this time, he raised two shields, which emitted brilliant light, and the gaps between the runes on them began to move, like an electric current.
The two shields collided violently in the air, and with a loud bang, a dazzling ray of lightning shot out from between the two shields.

The diameter of this lightning bolt was over one meter, it was simply a huge beam of light, which crashed into the gate of the hall with a bang.

Jiang Ping wanted to stop him but it was too late. His second brother had a hot temper and had already taken action.

He could only use his self-defense magic weapon and resist carefully.

Boom!
The gate was directly pierced and turned into pieces.

Jiang Ming was very proud and said with a smile: "Look, it's just an ordinary gate. The spiritual charm of this place has disappeared. It's just an ancient relic. It's too long ago. Time will change everything."

After he finished speaking, everyone remained alert, but they also felt somewhat relieved.

Everyone walked out, their footsteps chaotic and heavy.

Tu Xingzi's face suddenly changed slightly, his ears moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Not good!"

Jiang Ping stopped, frowned and said, "What happened?"

Tu Xingzi said, "The footsteps sounded wrong when we left the hall."

Tu Xingzi pointed at his ear.

"I have cultivated my divine hearing ability, so no sound changes can be hidden from me. Although the footsteps just now were chaotic, there was one more person's footsteps."

As soon as these words were spoken, a chill suddenly arose in everyone's hearts.

They looked around and saw that there were only five of them here, with no one else.

Jiang Ping said in a deep voice: "Could it be that you heard it wrong?"

Saturn shook his head.
"After cultivating the clairaudience, one becomes extremely sensitive to sounds. Everyone should be careful, this place is a bit spooky." At this time, everyone looked at this deep passage and felt a little creepy.

Jiang Ping said in a deep voice: "Don't stay long!"

Then he turned into a stream of light and flew away into the air, and everyone followed suit.

After they left the Water God Palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, revealed themselves one after another, and looked at each other, and found that there was nothing wrong.

Jiang Ping said with lingering fear: "This place is too weird, we still need to organize more people."

Jiang Ming was unconvinced and said, "Is this necessary? There are too many people, won't there be more to share?"

Jiang Ping frowned slightly and was about to try to persuade his second brother, but suddenly he saw a figure standing in the Water God Palace, waving his hands and feet, looking very anxious.

When Jiang Ping saw it, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and his scalp went numb!
That person was none other than Jiang Ming, the second son of the Jiang family!

It looked like he was trapped in an invisible barrier, unable to hear any sound and unable to come over here.

Jiang Ping suddenly turned around and looked at his second brother beside him and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

The scar on Jiang Ming's face was like a centipede. At this moment, he suddenly smiled strangely.
"Oh, you found me."

It was the same tone as that of a child who was caught while playing hide-and-seek, but it sounded a little creepy to everyone.

Jiang Ping immediately took action and used his magic weapon, the Qingsi Sword.

The Green Silk Sword is made up of thousands of golden needles. Each needle is long and thin, and extremely tough. Together they make up three thousand green silk strands, which can kill people without them even appearing.

At this moment, he suddenly raised the Qingsi Sword and killed Jiang Ming!
Jiang Ming dodged, but the Qingsi Sword followed him like a shadow and pierced through Jiang Ming's body.

Jiang Ming's face turned into one of extreme pain.

His body was pierced by three thousand strands of black hair, which looked dense and very scary. Everyone was terrified at this moment.

Jiang Hai, a young man with thick black eyebrows like swords, shouted: "Brother, what are you doing!"

Jiang Ping said in a deep voice: "Something has transformed into the appearance of our second brother to deceive us. Didn't you hear what he said just now?"

But at this moment he found that Jiang Hai, Fang Daoren and Tu Xingzi looked at him with expressions of shock and confusion.

Jiang Ping's heart sank. He turned around and pointed at the palace entrance. Looking at the flustered Jiang Ming, he said loudly, "He's right there. Don't you see him?"

But there was no sign of Jiang Ming at the entrance of the palace.

"How is this going?"

Jiang Ping felt a chill in his heart and he retracted the Three Thousand Green Silk Swords.

Jiang Ming was pierced by him at this time, and his life was about to be cut off. Blood gushed out like a spring.

He said in disbelief: "Brother...why...what?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's familiar tone and the shock and confusion in his eyes, Jiang Ping felt a pain in his heart and said in disbelief: "What's going on? What on earth is going on!"

Jiang Ping fell into great panic.

"Could it be...I killed my second brother with my own hands?"

Jiang Hai said angrily, "Brother, although my second brother is usually hot-tempered, he always respects you like a father. Why did you kill him?"

Taoist Fang said at this time: "Did Daoist Jiang just get bewitched by some trick?"

Tu Xingzi frowned and said, "I knew this place was weird, but I didn't expect that I would still fall into its trap despite all my precautions."

Jiang Ping was struck by lightning.

He was so grief-stricken that he hugged Jiang Ming's body and cried bitterly.
"Second brother, I'm the one who hurt you!"

The pain of killing his own blood relative with his own hands almost drove him crazy.

In grief, he glanced away and found that standing at the entrance of the Water God Palace were not only his second brother Jiang Ming, but also his third brother Jiang Hai, Fang Daoren, and Tu Xingzi. They were all anxiously shouting something to him, but their voices could not reach him.
"They are all evil things that harm people! How could such things exist in an ancient relic like the Water God Palace?" Jiang Ping was heartbroken.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw his third brother Jiang Hai, who was standing at the gate of the Water God Palace, suddenly pull off a jade pendant from his neck. The jade pendant was engraved with auspicious dragons and phoenixes. At this time, it emitted light, and the shadows of a dragon and a phoenix emerged.

This is the Jiang family's heirloom, left to the third brother Jiang Hai.

In a flash, Jiang Ping's heart moved. He looked at his third brother Jiang Hai, who was standing beside him and accusing him, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the family heirloom jade pendant you are wearing around your neck?"

Jiang Hai had tears in his eyes and said angrily: "It's already this time, why are you still caring about the jade pendant!"

He looked deeply distressed.

But Jiang Ping suddenly stood up at this time, he pulled open his collar, but did not find the jade pendant that Jiang Hai was wearing.

"You're fake!"

Jiang Ping felt a chill rushing up to his head.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Hai's face, exactly the same smile as the one on Jiang Ming's face before.

"You found me again."

Jiang Hai's expression was full of teasing and resentment.

At this time, Jiang Ming, who was originally dead, also stood up, his body covered in blood, his face pale, and he stared at Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping was shocked. He noticed that Fang Daoren and Tu Xingzi were also staring at him.

Jiang Ping was extremely surprised. He didn't know when several people around him had been replaced.

He immediately grabbed a magic talisman, which was called the Taixu Divine Sword Talisman. It could stimulate a ray of sword energy, kill demons and ghosts, and be invincible. Even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to resist.

At this time, Jiang Ping's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he immediately raised the Taixu Divine Sword Talisman. The sword energy rushed up into the sky, crushing everything.

The four people around him were beheaded by the sword light, caught off guard.

Their headless bodies fell into a pool of blood, which soon flowed out, dyeing the sea red.

Jiang Ping's eyes were fierce and murderous.
"Don't try to deceive me, you devils!"

Then he rushed to the Water God Palace quickly, but the scene before him made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

The four people who were originally shouting anxiously suddenly calmed down. Looking at their pale and weird faces, Jiang Ping's heart sank to the bottom.

...............

Chen Wang practiced on the island, and sometimes he would secretly transform himself into Qinglong Island to get some information.

Otherwise, if the overseas monks were secretly plotting against him without his knowledge, wouldn't he be the one to passively accept the attack?
Closing the island is just his means of refusing ineffective social interactions, and it also adds some mystery so that others can't figure it out.

Chen Wang is drinking tea in a teahouse on Qinglong Island.

The tea here doesn't taste mellow, it's slightly bitter and not sweet aftertaste. Chen Wang doesn't like this taste.

It's just that his mind is more focused on what happened overseas recently.

"The Water God Palace was born."

The Water God Palace is an ancient relic that contains the heritage of immortals. Chen Wang felt a little excited when he heard this.

Several people talked about the Water God Palace and discussed it.

"There is a madman named Jiang Ping wandering around overseas, and the news came from him."

"Jiang Ping is the Jindan swordsman from Daxia?"

"Yes, I heard that this person has a Three Thousand Green Silk Sword, which is extremely powerful."

"I have dealt with him before. He is an expert in swordsmanship and has great talent. How could he go crazy?"
