Chapter 389 – Southern Continent
Within the dimensional tunnel, the bronze plate was floating in front of the two as a guide while Jiang Chen and Nangong Wentian quietly sat there, moving forward with the help of the dimensional force.
“Little Chen, how long will it take before we reach the Southern Continent?”
Nangong Wentian asked.
“We need to cross a huge territory in order to travel from the Eastern Continent to the Southern Continent. Even with the help of the Teleport Formation, I think it will take at least four hours. This dimensional tunnel is strong, it can last until we arrive at the Southern Continent.”
Jiang Chen said.
“Four hours?! Damn it, you have no idea how long it took daddy to travel from the Southern Continent to the Eastern Continent, and I almost got myself killed! Luckily, we have this Teleport Formation!”
Nangong Wentian said with mixed emotions. Compared to this Teleport Formation’s speed, he was just like a crawling turtle.
“Brother Nan, tell me about your family.”
Jiang Chen asked with great interest. Since he had decided to help Nangong Wentian, he needed to know more about his family.
“Our family doesn’t have a long history in the Southern Continent, so our foundation isn’t as strong as the other superpowers. According to what my dad told me, the Nangong family only has about a one hundred years history in the Southern Continent.”
Nangong Wentian said.
“One hundred years of history?”
Jiang Chen was startled for a moment. He was always touched by this timing. It was as if most of the major changes in the Saint Origin Realm happened one hundred years ago, the year when he swung his sword toward the Heavens and broke the gate to the Realm of Immortals, causing the entire barrier of the Saint Origin Realm to change. The realm’s entire structure had gone through many changes because of that year, that day.
“That’s right, one hundred years ago, my grandfather came to the Southern Continent, and with his extraordinary talent, he established a massive foundation for the Nangong family. After that, he decided to make that land his permanent home, then he married and had a lot of children. Also, the Nangong family has an amazing treasure that no outsides know about. My grandfather brought it with him when he arrived at the Southern Continent, and even I have no idea what the treasure looks like, I only that my grandfather hid it in a secret place within the Nangong family and blocked all access to it with the Profound Sun Formation. However, the hidden treasure doesn’t have any powerful usages, its only function is to produce a certain amount of Nine Solar Holy Water each years, and because of the Nine Solar Holy Water, the Nangong family has risen abruptly in just a few dozen years, becoming one of the true superpowers in the Southern Continent.”
Nangong Wentian continued. As the Nangong family only had a history of one hundred years, he could still remember it all with ease.
“What? A treasure that can produce Nine Solar Holy Water?”
Jiang Chen was shocked. However, nothing was too strange in this world, there must be a reason why this treasure exists. If that was the case, it wasn’t really surprising that the Nangong family became a superpower in such a short amount of time. Try thinking about it like, when every new descendant of the Nangong family was born, they were immediately given Nine Solar Holy Water, causing all of them to be geniuses since a young age. A family like this would definitely become a superpower.
“Yes. Although it doesn’t produce too much each year, it is still more than enough to help our family become a superpower. Remember how I used Nine Solar Holy Water in exchange for pills? I brought the Nine Solar Holy Water from home. My dad is the Family Chief, and as his son, I can still get some benefits.”
Nangong Wentian replied with a mischievous laughter.
“I’m really curious, since your family possess such a great treasure, I suppose there are some superpowers paying close attention, and are trying to rob it from you?”
Jiang Chen felt this matter strange. There was a saying that an innocent man’s wealth would bring his own ruin for causing the greed of others to emerge. With such an amazing treasure, some other powers must have been eyeing the Nangong family before they became one of the superpowers. No one would let this extraordinary treasure slip away in front of their eyes.
Even with the Nangong family’s current powerful strength, they at most comparable to the Shangguan Clan, not a level where they could dominate the entire Southern Continent. The Southern Continent was a huge land, and there were surely some humongous existences comparable to the Martial Saint Dynasty. However, even a gigantic power like the Martial Saint Dynasty would be tempted when seeing a treasure capable of producing Nine Solar Holy Water. Honestly, it was a miracle for the Nangong family to survive for one hundred years.
“That’s why I said it’s our family’s secret. That treasure is locked away with the Profound Sun Formation and hidden in a concealed face. Even as the son of the Family Chief, I only know about its existence, but have never seen it with my own eyes. There aren’t many people in the Nangong family who knows about this treasure, even some of the descendant who were given Nine Solar Holy Water has no idea where it came from. Furthermore, none of us would tell any outside about this secret, because if anyone did that, it would be a completely disaster for us. My dad called me back in such a rushed manner, I wonder if it is related to that treasure?”
Nangong Wentian explained with a frown on his face.
“I see.”
Jiang Chen nodded his head. It couldn’t have been easy for the Nangong family to keep this secret for a hundred years.
“However, the current Nangong family is no longer a monolithic family. Three years ago, my grandfather died after depleting his energy in order to fix the Profound Sun Formation, then he made my father the next Family Chief, and that’s when the Nangong family started dividing. My eldest uncle and his family didn’t want to follow my father’s command, and after that, he simply broke the family into two parts.”
Nangong Wentian said.
“Sounds like your eldest uncle is the root cause of all the changes in the Nangong family.”
Jiang Chen understood now.
“That’s right, my eldest uncle blames my grandfather for not making him the next Family Chief. Therefore, he keeps causing all kinds of problems in the family. I really hate this kind of internal conflict, that’s why I chose to leave home. I also wanted to travel the world and give myself a different kind of experience, and that’s what led me to you.”
Nangong Wentian said.
Jiang Chen nodded his head. He now finally understood why Nangong Wentian left home. It looked like the current changes in the Nangong family was related to their internal conflict as well.
