As the array spun, it directly twisted the void, releasing waves of Yin and Yang force, instantly crushing the serpent’s head, obliterating even a trace of its consciousness.
Immediately, the monster- serpent’s body began to disintegrate inch by inch, turning into a pure, earth-yellow energy.
Jiang Chen’s spirit stirred, he opened his mouth and swallowed this pure earth-yellow energy, refining it into his body. Instantaneously, he felt the earth energy in his spleen strengthen.
Innate Earth Origin, this monster- serpent, was actually transformed by the Innate Earth Origin.
"I see, no wonder the five element energy of this place is so thin. Turns out, they have transformed into various fierce beasts."
"In that case, as long as I kill these fierce beasts born of the five-element origin, I could collect vast amounts of innate five-element origins."
Jiang Chen somewhat enlightened now, understood the method of acquiring the secrets of the Five Elements. It was to slay the beasts of this place and refine the innate Five Elements from their bodies.
With this, things would be easier.
Isn’t it just killing? The Ancient Martial Arts exists precisely for that reason, this is Jiang Chen’s forte.
With that thought, Jiang Chen didn’t conceal his aura any longer. Instead, he let it permeate to attract more fierce beasts.
Having refined the lingering Five Elements energy from the destroyed beast, Jiang Chen began to fly towards the center of the secret zone again.
At that moment, the Maiden of Seven Immortals, who had been trailing Jiang Chen, abruptly asked, "...Jiang Chen, how did you cultivate to become so powerful so suddenly?"
Was it sudden? To the Maiden of Seven Immortals, it was indeed quite unexpected. She remembered that when she met Jiang Chen for the first time, he wasn’t a Golden Immortal yet, he posed no match to them.
But now, not more than a hundred years had passed since they first met, and Jiang Chen had undergone extraordinary changes, turning into a figure they would look up to.
This cultivation speed was too fast.
Even though the Maiden of Seven Immortals was used to seeing prodigies, she had never seen anyone cultivating as quickly as Jiang Chen. No, she had never even seen anyone cultivating half as fast as him.
Their cousin, Yang Jian, who had a reputation as the God of War in Heaven Court, was also known for his striking talent, yet still fell short when compared to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s talent was too terrifying, thoroughly taking the Maiden of Seven Immortals by surprise. Initially, they thought that as long as Jiang Chen stayed in Heaven Court, they would eventually have the chance to take revenge on him.
However, before they could decide how to torment Jiang Chen, he had already turned into a leading figure, an existence they could no longer shake.
Indeed, it made the Maiden of Seven Immortals speechless.
After that, they started to become curious and secretly collect information about Jiang Chen, attempting to figure out his cultivation methods...
One thing led to another, and the Maiden of Seven Immortals ended up understanding more and more about Jiang Chen.
Glancing back at the Maiden of Seven Immortals, Jiang Chen said, "Did it seem sudden? Not at all. This was achieved by risking my life, cultivating very quickly. If I hadn’t moved swiftly, I would have long been dead."
Hearing this from Jiang Chen, the Maiden of Seven Immortals became even more curious: "What do you mean by ’risking your life’? Is someone forcing you to cultivate?"
At this moment, Jiang Chen found it strange considering the Maiden of Seven Immortals’ ignorance. Could it be that they were not aware of Ancient Martial Arts? That would indeed be strange.
Could the daughter of Jade Emperor really lack such basic knowledge?
What Jiang Chen didn’t know was that the Maiden of Seven Immortals was congenitally deficient, making it difficult for her to attain enlightenment. Reaching the stage of Golden Immortal took a huge toll on the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, as they paid a high price to forcibly upgrade her. Progressing further from there was pretty much impossible.
Seeing the lack of achievements Maiden of Seven Immortals could attain in cultivation, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother only intended for her to live happily, having no expectations, as long as she was cheerful.
After all, with their strength, they could certainly protect the Maiden of Seven Immortals from any worry for her entire life.
Because of this, the Maiden of Seven Immortals didn’t take cultivation seriously, showing no interest in anything but eating, drinking and playing all day long, living a joyful life.
Hmm, it was indeed something others would envy.
Not paying attention to cultivation, the Maiden of Seven Immortals wasn’t very knowledgeable about some ancient secrets. They had access to information but were not interested in it.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Chen directly asked: "Don’t you guys know about the Ancient Martial Arts?"
Maiden of Seven Immortals showed a blank look.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen sighed in resignation and explained the Ancient Martial Arts to them, again.
Then, the Maiden of Seven Immortals exclaimed in shock: "What? You can’t live forever and have a lifespan of only ten thousand years? That’s too short."
"So, you mean Jiang Chen would only live for another ten thousand years?"
Jiang Chen nodded and conceded, "Yes, unless there is a huge opportunity, I would be dead, turned into dust after ten thousand years."
Now, the eyes of Maiden of Seven Immortals looking at Jiang Chen had completely changed, showing full sympathy: "You are so miserable. Unable to live forever, then what’s the point of all this strength?"
They couldn’t imagine how tragic it must be for someone as powerful as Jiang Chen, not being able to live beyond ten thousand years, which, to an immortal, is merely a start, but it means the end of life for Jiang Chen.
For a while, the Seven Immortals felt more sympathetic towards Jiang Chen and secretly determined that once they leave this place, they would request their Emperor Father and Mother Queen to extend his life.
