Chapter 401: Dangerous But No Mishaps

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

There were only three chains in the Black Water River.

After resting, Shen Ping and the other cultivators started arguing over who would go first. Once they stepped on the iron chain first, they could not come down again. They could only brace themselves and cross the river. Those behind could choose to stay on the sh.o.r.e, so no one wanted to go on the iron chain first.

If the people following behind were to go back on their word, the danger of stepping on the chain at the beginning would be greatly increased. In any case, Shen Ping would definitely not go first.

They argued for half a day. In the end, the devil, the Spirit, and the demon went first. Shen Ping was in the second batch and followed by the Winged. After the agreement, everyone began to cross the river.

Whoosh. Whoosh. They stepped onto the chain. The whistling cold wind blew against them. Even as Nascent Soul cultivators, the three cultivators of the Devil Race, the Spirit Race, and the Demon Race felt a chill run down their spines. The cold wind was like a knife that cut through their bodies. They could not use any magic power or other methods on the chains. They could only rely on their physical strength to stagger forward.

Soon, Shen Ping also stepped onto the chain. As soon as his feet came into contact with it, he felt a powerful binding force. The power of the strange beast in his dantian and ordinary Golden Core magic powers could not be used. However, his physique was extremely strong, and his Vajra Body made his footsteps very stable.

However, looking at the other cultivators’ solemn requests, he could not help but look at the black river. He saw black fish gradually emerging from the river. Clearly, these fish were one of the dangers of crossing the river. Although he did not know how terrifying the attacks of fish were, it was very easy to fall because he could not use spells.

Not long after, the last Winged cultivator stepped onto the chain. The devil and the other cultivators heaved a sigh of relief. Now that they were all on the chains, no one could secretly hurt them.

The chain was very thick. There was no movement as they walked. The front was still considered smooth. In the middle, the iron chain suddenly swayed slightly, and the extent of its swaying became greater and greater. The cold wind in the ears of all the cultivators, including Shen Ping, became sharper and sharper.

Even the Nascent Soul devil and other cultivators could not help but feel extremely nervous. After all, this was the Blackwater River. They were similar to ordinary mortals, except that their bodies were stronger. If there was a slight mistake, hundreds or thousands of years of cultivation would be completely destroyed.

No one was unafraid of death. Even the arrogant demon cultivator revealed a trace of fear in his eyes. He slowed down and walked forward like a snail. However, no one laughed at him. This was because everyone was like this.

Whoosh. Whoosh. The cold wind was like a knife mixed with the crisp sound of metal being shaken by the chains. With every step forward, the nervousness in everyone’s hearts increased.

The chain suddenly shook violently.

Shen Ping and the others were shocked. They hurriedly stopped in their tracks and locked the chain tightly. Their bodies swayed greatly with the chain.

Swish, swish, swish.

At this moment, the fish on the surface of the Blackwater River jumped out of the river like arrows. Almost in an instant, they reached the chains and opened their fangs to bite Shen Ping and the others.

Although they could not use magic power or divine powers, they were all geniuses of various races after all, and their physiques were not ordinary. When they saw this situation, they took out the sharp dharma treasures they had long prepared as weapons and slashed at the black fish.

Puff, puff, puff.

Although the black fish were fast, their defense was not strong. They were quickly killed by them. However, the corrosive strength of the blood they spat out was extremely high. Even their magic clothes could corrode. However, the magic clothes on Shen Ping’s body were basically at the level of spiritual ancient treasures. Just the corrosive surface was difficult to penetrate.

After destroying a wave of attacks, there was no more movement on the Black Water River, and the chain gradually recovered its calm. The Devil Race, Demon Race, Winged Race, Spirit Race, and other cultivators heaved a sigh of relief.

They continued forward as they quickened their pace. A moment later, the sh.o.r.e was right in front of them. The demon cultivator walking at the front was only 20 feet away from the sh.o.r.e. However, just as he revealed a happy expression and felt that he had crossed the river without any danger, he suddenly stepped into the air and fell. “No…!”

Immediately, terrified voices resounded in the surroundings. When Shen Ping and the others saw this scene, their faces turned pale and they did not dare to take another step forward. At the same time, their eyes were fixed on the fallen demon cultivator. As soon as he fell into the river, dense black fish surged out from under the river. In half a breath, they tore him into pieces.

Just like that, a Nascent Soul cultivator of the demon race who could be said to be invincible in the outside world had died in this Heaven Ascension Hall. Moreover, he had died very aggrieved. He had not used any powerful methods or divine powers.

When they pa.s.sed through the metal pa.s.sageway, five had died. However, no one had seen it. At this moment, they had personally witnessed a cultivator with the same strength and cultivation as them who had the strength of a strange beast die. The shock brought was different.

“This is the Heaven Ascension Hall! No matter how talented or monstrous you are, no matter how many tricks you have, it’s useless if you’re unlucky!” The Spirit girl said in a low voice.

The other cultivators trembled slightly, and their fear grew stronger.

“How did he die?!’1 The Winged cultivator could not help but ask.

The Spirit girl frowned. “He should have missed his step. Although we know that the Blackwater River is dangerous, we don’t know the specific dangers. I’m afraid that the chains will interfere with our perception and vision. Everyone, be careful!” She took out something that looked like a puppet and placed it on the chain. Then, she controlled it in front of her.

The other cultivators did not move. Instead, they watched quietly. One step, two steps. He took five or six steps. The puppet had already been controlled by the Spirit girl to the sh.o.r.e. Seeing this, the Spirit girl could not help but speed up. However, when she took a second step, she felt the ground beneath her feet disappear and she fell like the demon cultivator.

With the sound of water, another genius cultivator died.

Such a scene made the other cultivators, including Shen Ping, feel deep fear. Even the puppet that had checked to confirm their safety was useless.

Swish, swish. It seemed that the blood and meat had stimulated the black fish in the river. They flew out again.

Puff! Puff! With their previous experience, Shen Ping and the other cultivators dealt with it even more easily. However, none of them felt relaxed when they shot down these black fish. Instead, they looked at the sh.o.r.e in front of them and did not dare to take another step forward.

Time pa.s.sed quietly.

Half a day later, the third wave of fish attacked again. This time, they realized that the number of black fish had increased. Even if they relied on their powerful physique and sharp magical equipment to shoot them down safely, it was clearly impossible for them to stay for a long time.

However, no one dared to move. The death of the two geniuses of the Demon Race and Spirit Race was still in front of them. They didn’t want to end up like this. One had to know that they were geniuses.

In the blink of an eye, another half a day pa.s.sed. Still no one took a step forward. Shen Ping followed behind the Spirit girl. He hesitated for a long time before finally continuing forward. However, he would divine every step.

It was different from other treasures that measured danger. Even if a divination master did not have any magic power, he could still determine good, bad, fortune and misfortune. However, the accuracy was related to his own level. Shen Ping’s level as a divination master had long been raised to the fourth level through the daily s.e.x with Jing Huilan.

Therefore, the measurement of ordinary luck, calamity, and fortune was very accurate.

Auspicious.

Auspicious.

Auspicious.

When he was two steps away from the sh.o.r.e, The divination was ominous. Shen Ping immediately stopped. The Winged and the other four cultivators stared at Shen Ping.

Five minutes later, Shen Ping divined again. It was still ominous. He took a deep breath and continued to wait. Although the Black Water River was dangerous, it was definitely not a situation of certain death. Otherwise, what was the point of spending so much effort in front of the Heaven Ascension Hall?

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Another round of black fish attacked. After shooting it down, Shen Ping continued to divine.

Ominous.

After three consecutive attacks from the black fish, he performed another divination. This time, the divination changed… to auspicious.

Shen Ping did not know what this step would be, but he believed in his divination ability, so he took it without hesitation. His feet made solid contact with the chain. He heaved a sigh of relief and continued divining.

Auspicious.

He took another step.

Divination.

Auspicious.

With the third step, Shen Ping stood safely on the sh.o.r.e. At this moment, his back was already covered in sweat, but his face revealed the joy of surviving a calamity.

“This human fellow Daoist is really good!”
