"Then do you know where the aquamarine's land of death is?" Fang Chen asked anxiously.
Although Fang Chen didn't know who exactly the aquamarine was, but to be able to fight against the Ice Heaven Lord at such a peak, one could imagine that he must be a very strong Ranker.
"The place where the aquamarine fell is located in the deepest region of this region." the Ice Heaven Lord said.
After Fang Chen heard this, he was overjoyed. The reason he came here was to obtain the treasure, he did not expect it to go so smoothly.
"Lead the way." Fang Chen said.
The Ice Heaven Lord nodded, and then brought Fang Chen quickly forward.
The current Fang Chen, after consuming the Body Spirit Grass, had reached the third level of the Fructus Bovis. His physical body had broken through the limits of his ordinary body and reached the level of a one star Dao Body.
The current Fang Chen could easily defeat someone like Gu Yao, who was at the middle stage of the Ninth level of Qi Transformation.
Fang Chen was extremely excited in his heart. Perhaps the aquamarine's treasure deposit was a fortuitous encounter for him, and if he could reap some rewards, his strength would be on par with a Qi Ranking Ranker.
Just thinking about it made him excited.
Time trickled by, and under the lead of the Ice Heaven Lord, Fang Chen quickly rushed into the depths of this region.
At this time, the entire dark plain was filled with warriors from the three great forces, who were looking for outsiders.
Initially, the Gu family wanted to keep the dark plain's treasures for themselves, but after the Celestial Lake and the people of the Wood Dragon Village found out about it, in the end, the three sides reached an agreement. The three powers allied together and explored the dark plain.
Due to the initial lax attitude towards the dark plain, it caused many warriors to die in the dark plain. From then on, the three powers strengthened their control over the dark plain.
After some time, the three forces finally had complete control of the entire dark plain. However, contrary to their expectations, the treasures could not be found.
At this moment, their gazes were fixed on the unexplored areas.
In the entire dark plain, there were a total of five unexplored areas. The upper echelons of the three powers believed that the treasure must be within one of the five great unexplored areas.
However, they weren't sure where the treasure was. If they didn't explore the area, they would be in extreme danger. They didn't dare to barge in without permission.
Finally, the three factions chose an unexplored area and slowly explored it.
However, during this period of time, news came in that two outsiders had barged in. The higher-ups of the three powers gave the order without hesitation to kill these two outsiders at all costs.
However, even after such a long time had passed, they still hadn't been able to find the two foreigners.
At this moment, the three powers were exploring one of the unexplored areas. This area was a mysterious valley.
Many warriors of the qi transformation realm had unknowingly died miserable deaths after entering.
In the end, the three powers had no choice but to slow down their pace and slowly explore.
However, what they didn't know was that the treasure was no longer in this unexplored area.
Being forced by Gu Yao, Fang Chen accidentally entered one of the five unexplored regions, and coincidentally met with the Ice Heaven Lord, thus discovering the aquamarine's treasure.
As for Xing Yue who came in with Fang Chen, he had also entered an unexplored region.
Of course, Xingyue wasn't forced to go in. She went in voluntarily. Xingyue seemed to have found something and directly went into it.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Three days later, the Ice Heaven Lord and Fang Chen finally arrived at the deepest part of this region.
However, the Ice Heaven Lord had lived here for a very long time and had an aura that was familiar to demon beasts. Those demon beasts didn't take the initiative to attack the Ice Heaven Lord, which made Fang Chen very happy.
One must know that the demon beasts in the unexplored area were abnormally powerful.
Fang Chen, who had just entered the unexplored region, met a Gale leopard that was being chased everywhere. If it wasn't for his own speed, he would have already been killed by the Gale leopard.
Now, after controlling the Ice Heaven Lord, Fang Chen could strut about in this region.
"How long until we arrive?" Fang Chen asked.
The closer he got to the deepest parts of the region, the more he felt a sense of pressure that made him uncomfortable.
"Master, we're almost there." the Ice Heaven Lord said.
Soon after, under the lead of the Ice Heaven Lord, the two of them appeared at the foot of a mountain.
This mountain peak towered into the clouds, and atop it, there were countless steps.
"Master, the peak of this mountain is where the aquamarine fell. That year, the aquamarine clearly knew that he was going to fall, so he intentionally built a staircase to test the people outside." the Ice Heaven Lord said.
Fang Chen nodded, showing his understanding.
After all, the aquamarine could be considered a strong warrior. Even if he died, he did not want his entire life's work to be taken by some shameless villains.
"What is this test?" Fang Chen asked.
"All these years, I've been seriously injured and haven't been here, so I don't know." Ice Heaven Lord said.
Fang Chen slightly nodded, and said afterwards: "Wait here, I'll go take a look."
After he finished speaking, Fang Chen took a step forward, and immediately stepped onto the stairs.
The moment Fang Chen stepped onto the stairs, he suddenly felt streams of water surging from all directions.
"This is …"
Fang Chen was a little surprised, he did not expect that the moment he stepped onto the stairs, he would be wrapped by the water flow.
"If you want to be the successor of my aquamarine, you must pass the test." Suddenly, a melodious voice entered Fang Chen's ears.
"My aquamarine is a water channel expert, so if you want to obtain my inheritance, you need to have a very high affinity with the water element. As long as you can make it past the stairs, you will be able to obtain my aquamarine's inheritance."
Hearing this voice, Fang Chen couldn't help but be surprised. The aquamarine's requirements were too high, to actually need to have a very high affinity with the water element in order to pass the first step.
"Let's give it a try."
Fang Chen was helpless and could only bite the bullet.
Thump, thump, thump …
In the beginning, Fang Chen did it easily and after a while, he walked up a few steps. However, when Fang Chen arrived at the fifth step, he finally felt a bit of pressure.
"I've never come into contact with water particles before."
Fang Chen said, the current flow of water did not affect him at all.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Chen sat cross legged and began to comprehend the essence of the water.
Crash …
The water unceasingly flowed around Fang Chen's body, he closed his eyes, and his entire body emitted a formless Qi.
"Water flow... "Water Elemental."
Fang Chen muttered softly.
At this moment, the golden heart rapidly beat a few times, as streams of energy flowed out from the heart.
In that instant, a rough image appeared in Fang Chen's mind. Countless waves rolling unceasingly.
"This is …"
Fang Chen was shocked, he felt that at this moment, his comprehension of the water elements suddenly became deeper.
Crash …
Suddenly, Fang Chen opened his eyes as the water around his body began to flow.
Fang Chen took a step forward, and the surrounding water flow actually no longer obstructed his advance.
"Sure enough."
Fang Chen's face revealed great joy as he continued to advance. After about thirty steps, he finally felt the pressure of the water flow.
"The deeper one's understanding of the water element, the easier it is to step onto the stairs." Fang Chen said.
After that, Fang Chen sat cross legged once again and began comprehending.
After half a month, Fang Chen's comprehension of the water element was already very deep. At this time, he had already reached the end of the stairs, and was about to step into the Flowing Water Palace.
At the top of the mountain, there was a palace made of water. This palace gave off an ethereal feeling.
"There are still three steps. Come on." Fang Chen shouted in his heart.
However, even these three steps, took Fang Chen more than a month to finally overcome.
A month later, Fang Chen finally walked across the stairs and stepped into the Flowing Water Palace.
At this time, Fang Chen's entire body was surrounded by dense water, the water was sticking to the surface of his skin, as though he was playing with Fang Chen.
Creak …
The Water Palace's doors opened, and Fang Chen entered.
"Those who are fated, when you reach this place, it means that you have passed my test. I hope that you can bring glory to the one with the Dao of Water in my aquamarine." A melodious voice rang out once more.
Fang Chen nodded his head slightly, and in that moment, Fang Chen felt himself being suspended uncontrollably.
In the next moment, Fang Chen's body directly appeared on the praying mat at the very front of Flowing Water Palace.
Hiss, hiss, hiss …
When Fang Chen sat on the prayer mat, the entire hall suddenly trembled, and streams of water unceasingly drilled into Fang Chen's mind.
The current Fang Chen seemed to have a myriad of water flowing through his mind, causing him to feel extremely comfortable.
Time slowly passed, Fang Chen was currently receiving the aquamarine's inheritance.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Since the time Fang Chen had stepped onto the stairs, two months had already passed, and Fang Chen had been receiving the inheritance ever since.
During these two months, the three factions had finally conquered an unexplored area. However, they had gained nothing. Moreover, they had suffered heavy losses.
In the unexplored area, other than powerful Monstrous Beasts, there was nothing. This made the three big powers very angry.
In the following time, the three powers once again chose an unexplored area to explore. If they didn't find the treasure, they would not rest until they did.
At the foot of the mountain below the Water Palace, the Ice Heaven Lord stood still.
It had been two months but Fang Chen still had not come out. At this moment, a figure was slowly approaching from not too far away.
If Fang Chen was here, he would have definitely realized that the figure that was approaching him was the Qi Ranking expert Yao Yun, who had almost killed him back then.
"If I can obtain the treasures, I'll definitely become one of the strongest in the Qi Ranking." The current Yao Yun spoke sinisterly as he walked.
