Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 372: Power Structure of the Upper Realm (12)

"Buzz... Buzz... Buzz!"

Powerful air currents whirled and circulated rapidly in the sky above the dense forest, uprooting the grass and trees below, causing them to fly in the air.

It was as if a giant bird was fiercely flapping its wings, blocking out the sun in the sky above the forest.

However, Chen An couldn't sense the presence of any living beings.

Whether it was his divine sense or his five senses, he could only feel the flow of air.

"Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a piercing sound of breaking through the air rang out.

In that instant, Chen An sensed countless invisible wind blades shooting towards him.

Facing the attack, he reacted extremely quickly and teleported away from his original position in time.

In the next moment after his figure disappeared, the solid ground beneath his feet was directly cut open by the wind blades, leaving countless terrifying cracks.

Each crack was enormous, like abyssal canyons in the mountains, with no bottom in sight.

"What on earth is attacking me?"

"This is too strange!"

"It's better to escape quickly!"

Chen An glanced at the cracks on the ground and decisively chose to escape at high speed, disappearing like a streak of light.

However, no matter how he tried to flee, there were always air currents attacking him.

"What is going on?"

Chen An was at a loss, tormented and burdened.

Just as he felt somewhat helpless, those air currents that kept attacking him suddenly made a strange sound, like the cry of a baby!

"How did your wives and daughters suddenly disappear?"

"How did you do it?"

"Tell me, I can reluctantly let you, this lowly creature of the mortal realm, die a quick death, and I can spare the lives of your wives and daughters, take care of them well, and let you become a grandfather, offering sacrifices to you every year."

The voice was male, sharp and old, sounding like an old mischievous man with a bald head and white hair.

A glimmer of hope arose in Chen An's heart upon hearing the voice.

These air currents were alive!

They were transformed from living beings!

As long as they were living beings, there was a possibility of killing them!

Thinking of this, Chen An decisively took out various Law Weapons such as the Yin-Yang Sword, Soul Nurturing Banner, and Soul-Sealing Compass, and launched an attack on the air currents surrounding him.

The attack was fierce, causing countless cracks to appear in the air.

However, the result of the attack left him utterly despairing.

The air cracked, but the air currents surrounding him were completely unharmed, continuing to attack him effortlessly.

"Don't resist in vain. With my ethereal and formless Wind God's body, even the Immortal King himself would find it difficult to deal with me. How could you, a mere creature of the mortal realm, attack me?"

"Tell me the principle behind the sudden disappearance of your wives and daughters, and I can give you a quick death."

"Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead."

The air currents spoke again, their tone full of mockery, igniting a raging fire within Chen An.

This time, Chen An responded by cursing loudly as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You want to know? You son of a bitch who doesn't know who your mother is, go ask your mother in the underworld!"

"Seeking death!"

The air currents responded in an angry and humiliated voice.

Immediately after, the air currents surrounding Chen An suddenly became violent, transforming into an invisible giant beast that covered the sky, opening its blood-filled mouth and fiercely biting down at him.

At the same time, a prompt message appeared before his eyes.

"[Wind Nine Rows has developed hatred towards you. Current hatred value is 6 stars.]"

It worked!

He knew the person's name now!

Curse him!

Seeing the prompt message in front of him, Chen An couldn't help but feel delighted. In the gaps between evading the invisible bites, he quickly took out the Book of Curses and silently chanted the person's name in his mind.

"Wind Nine Rows!"

"Wind Nine Rows!"

"Wind Nine Rows!"

"..."

Soon, the curse took effect.

In the previous moment, the invisible behemoth attacking Chen An was suddenly shattered like a burst balloon.

Then, a massive figure suddenly appeared before Chen An's eyes.

It was a flying behemoth resembling a bat.

It was nearly a thousand kilometers long and wide.

Its wings spread out, covering the sky.

[You have successfully cursed the "Nine Celestial Immortal Bat" Wind Nine Rows, causing its divine soul to suffer heavy damage and revealing its true form in a brief state of unconsciousness.]

Chen An glanced at the prompt message and, upon seeing the word "brief," immediately erupted with spiritual power. He fiercely punched the so-called Nine Celestial Immortal Bat in front of him.

This punch was a Deliberate Punch, possessing unstoppable real damage.

The fist landed on the body of the Nine Celestial Immortal Bat, instantly breaking through its layers of defense and smashing its body to pieces.

With its physical body destroyed, the divine soul of the Nine Celestial Immortal Bat scattered.

Chen An did not extinguish this divine soul, nor did he refine it into a soul puppet in the Soul Nurturing Banner. Instead, he opened his mouth towards the divine soul and swallowed it into his stomach.

This was one of the long-lost forbidden techniques of the Yin Domain called "Soul Devouring Technique." It was a reward he obtained when he raised his marital relationship level with Yin Qingyan to 5 stars.

The effect of this forbidden technique was to absorb and refine the divine souls of living beings to nourish one's own divine soul, while also gaining the memories of the deceased.

The effect was incredible and powerful, but excessive use carried certain risks, easily leading to one's own mental fragmentation.

However, Chen An couldn't care about that now.

At this moment, he urgently needed to understand information about the Upper Realm.

In order to determine the path he should take next and avoid blindly running into walls like a headless fly.

After swallowing the divine soul.

Chen An continuously used teleportation spells to transfer to a stronghold, while also erasing the memories contained in his Soul Formation.

In just a moment, he had digested all the memories and gained an understanding of Wind Nine Rows' identity and the situation in the Upper Realm.

Wind Nine Rows was a type of Innate demon beast called the "Nine Celestial Immortal Bat." Its former identity was a worshipper in the Jiang Family of the Upper Realm.

Tens of thousands of years ago, it joined the Jiang Family in order to achieve True Immortalhood.

The reason it suddenly attacked was because the Jiang Family had given it the command to search for the "Chen An" in the Lower Realm through a playback.

"It's the Jiang Family again!"

"And the Shi Family and Qin Family too!"

"With time, once I grow stronger, I will definitely destroy the three of you!"

Chen An thought to himself.

The memories he had just digested continued to burst forth.

From Wind Nine Rows' identity, he came to understand the power structure of the Upper Realm.

Unlike the situation in the Lower Realm where the Immortal Sects dominated, the Upper Realm had three equally powerful forces sharing control.

One, the clans.

Two, the Immortal Sects.

Three, the Immortal Dynasty.

The clans and Immortal Sects were the same as the clans and sects in the Lower Realm.

The only difference was that in the Upper Realm, clans and Immortal Sects were on the same level of existence.

The clan heads and sect masters were all powerful cultivators at the level of Immortal Kings.

Similarly, the Immortal Dynasty was the same, with its emperors also being Immortal Kings.

The only difference was that the operation of the Immortal Dynasty was more similar to the dynasties in the secular world of the Lower Realm.

There were civil and military officials, princes, and princesses.

The only difference was that these officials, as well as the emperor, princes, and princesses... none of them were ordinary mortals. They were all high-ranking cultivators, just like those in the cultivation clans and sects, towering above others.
