Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 1024 - 303: Glazed Purple Treasure Vine

The dark river within the belly of the mountain, the two had been stealthily traveling beneath for quite a while, but now, looking behind, a mass of purple Demonic Qi was rolling in, drawing ever closer.

Chen Yan knew running was futile, then suddenly he had a flash of insight, remembering an item.

He immediately retrieved it from the Storage Jade Pendant and gave it a gentle shake underwater, revealing a yellow Magic Robe!

This was a Magical Artifact he received as a reward for his merits at the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect.

The Water-Fire Yin-Yang Magic Robe, which could ward off water and fire.

At this moment, after taking it out underwater, he immediately infused it with Primordial Qi, upon which a soft mass of Primordial Qi burst forth from the robe, and instantly, the water in the surrounding riverbed rapidly dispersed to the sides, revealing a space devoid of water.

Chen Yan swiftly donned the magic robe, creating a dry area around him approximately one meter wide and taller than a person.

Yun Zhao was swimming beside him, witnessing what was happening to Chen Yan, he couldn’t help but turn back and glare at him in astonishment.

Chen Yan, however, fiercely slapped Yun Zhao on the shoulder and quickly made a "little bird flying" gesture.

Yun Zhao instantly understood, transforming into his true form, the Skylark, underwater, and plunged into the water-free space beside Chen Yan, his body clutching onto Chen Yan’s shoulder.

Chen Yan immediately sank his body, probing down to the riverbed!

As he reached the riverbed, his feet landed on the hard, fine gravel sand of the riverbed.

At this moment, in the direction they had come from, the purple Demonic Qi had arrived right in front; Chen Yan hurriedly crouched his body, lay flat on the riverbed, dared not move, and held his breath.

A few seconds later, in the murky river water, a colossal shadow appeared from the direction where they came!

From underwater, looking upward, a large, long-shaped silhouette was swimming in the water.

As it drew closer, it turned out to be a giant serpent!

The serpent’s head was as large as a bucket, its body thick like a barrel, with a slender length as it weaved through the water, stretching probably over ten meters.

Within the Domain Realm, what kind of giant monstrous Exotic Beast doesn’t exist?

As for the size of this creature, in fact, within the Domain Realm, it does not count as astonishing, but what made Chen Yan’s heart jump was the faint purple treasure light emanating from the serpent’s body.

Because of the presence of this light, it even rendered Chen Yan unable to discern what Cultivation this strange serpent possessed!

The giant serpent swam through the water, gradually approaching Chen Yan, and then, as if unaware that someone was hidden at the bottom of the riverbed, it swam past above Chen Yan’s head.

The mammoth body slowly moved above Chen Yan’s head, barely more than a meter away.

In the flow of water, Chen Yan could vaguely see the giant serpent’s body.

The serpent’s scales faintly emitted a soft, purple luster, which was probably the source of its purple aura.

And even more surprising to Chen Yan was that he could clearly see under the serpent’s ribs, on either side, there were two fleshy wings...

Is this about to transform?

This is the Exotic Beast of the serpent species, in the midst of Transformation Body breakthrough, showing signs of metamorphosing into a dragon!

However, Chen Yan also vaguely noticed, on either side of the serpent’s head, at the position of the serpent’s eyes, its eyes seemed very turbid, resembling those glass balls that have been smashed and shattered.

Chen Yan’s heart moved...

Is this thing blind?

·

The giant serpent swam through the water, the immense pressure causing great dread, yet Chen Yan suppressed the urgent pounding of his heart, cautiously minimizing his heartbeat rhythm, keeping it at the lowest under the effect of the Breath Concealing Talisman, his aura did not leak out.

The strange serpent seemed not to have noticed, as it gradually swam away, and only then did Chen Yan let out a sigh of relief.

The Skylark that Yun Zhao transformed into murmured, "In this mountain, there exists such an Exotic Beast? This serpent isn’t actually that large, but for some reason, I feel a chilling fear just looking at it."

Chen Yan smiled wryly, "Stop talking, we’re here to hide, let’s avoid trouble and get out, staying as far away from that creature as possible."

Yun Zhao hesitated for a moment, then after a few seconds, sighed helplessly, "Little brother, is it appropriate to use the word ’creature’ in front of a Demon Race?"

·

In the water, the two were about to head back in the direction they came from—after all, that purple strange serpent gave them an incredibly weird feeling, instinctively Chen Yan and Yun Zhao felt it would be best to keep their distance.

But as soon as they turned around, walking a few steps towards the waterway from where they came.

Suddenly, Chen Yan’s body stiffened, and he couldn’t help but curse softly, "Damn!"

From the direction they came underwater, a half-transparent figure was stealthily approaching in the water.

It seemed to have no solid form, but rather was a mass of shadowy outline, unmistakably resembling the Wooden Mask Man!

This transparent contour was gliding through the water like a ghost; yet the further upstream it went, the shadow seemingly had discovered Chen Yan and Yun Zhao!

Underwater, the shadow raised a hand, pointing towards Chen Yan’s location, slowly making a gesture!

Then, with a boom, it exploded in the water, dissipating!

Chen Yan took one glance and immediately knew it was bad!

"We’ve been discovered!" Chen Yan’s face turned grim.

Yun Zhao’s expression was also somber: "We..."

"Let’s move deeper!" Chen Yan shook his head. "We have no other choice; he’s coming from outside, so we can only move inward."

As he spoke, he looked deeply at Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao took a deep breath, his eyes full of gloom.

He understood in his heart that if the Wooden Mask Man had chased them here, then... Senior Liang was likely defeated!

Chen Yan whispered, "Lure him inside! Lead him to that strange snake!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao’s eyes lit up!!

Chen Yan turned and quickly moved on the riverbed towards the inside, with the Magic Robe of Water and Fire Yin-Yang granting him a waterless space, allowing him to move much faster in the water than swimming.

He ran for quite a while, feeling the water’s current gradually calm, and the riverbed becoming shallower.

Lifting his head, he suddenly poked his head out of the water with a splash!

At this moment, Chen Yan looked at the water’s surface and his eyes suddenly shone!

What a good place!

Inside a massive mountain’s belly, at the foot of the distant mountain wall, a cluster of purple light hung like a long strip of light on the mountain wall.

The purple light was dazzling, carrying a few enchanting feelings!

Upon closer inspection, the source of the purple light on the mountain wall...

It was a long vine blossoming from the mountain wall. The several-meters-long vine, as thick as an arm, hung there, with several fruits on it emitting the purple light!

Right where the purple vine hung, beneath the mountain wall, a gigantic strange snake was coiled, its body curled up and fast asleep...

Chen Yan’s heart was stirred, and he stared at the purple vine for several moments.

No need to ask, this must be a treasure, a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure!

Where there are exotic treasures, there must be exotic beasts guarding them!

However, after just a couple of glances, Chen Yan withdrew his attention.

This is not the time to covet treasure; one’s safety and life are paramount!

This place... has light!

Has water! Has a mirror surface!

It is a good place to hide.

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at Yun Zhao who had transformed into a Skylark, and suddenly chuckled: "Brother, do you trust me?"

"Eh?"

"If you trust me, then don’t resist or struggle against anything I do; I have a way to safely get you out of here!!"

Yun Zhao was taken aback, but seeing Chen Yan’s solemn expression, he hesitated slightly and then nodded: "Alright! I trust you! My Divine Technique tells me you mean no harm to me."

"Good!"

Without saying another word, Chen Yan suddenly took out a piece of cloth, gave it a gentle shake, wrapping Yun Zhao, who had turned into a Skylark, lightly encapsulating him into a cloth bag: "Stay put and don’t struggle or move!"

After finishing, Chen Yan felt a wave of cold air sweeping rapidly behind him through the river!

A figure was swiftly navigating through the water, wherever he passed, the river would part automatically!

Chen Yan took a deep breath, clenched his fist firmly, and then...

Dived headfirst into the Mirror World!

·

"Hmm?!"

The Wooden Mask Man parted the water as he came, suddenly feeling the aura he’d locked onto ahead vanished in an instant!

He frowned, but his pace did not slow at all, as he parted the water and his body sprang out of the water!

Inside the mountain’s belly, he stood beside the river, two feet off the ground.

Emerging from the water, he was completely dry, not a drop stuck to him!

But at this moment, the Wooden Mask Man seemed to be attracted by the purple vine on the mountain wall, and after eyeballing the purple light for several moments, suddenly laughed.

"What luck! It’s actually a ’Glazed Purple Treasure Vine’!"
