Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

Chapter 299: A Level 4 Treasure Chest Drops!

Being scrutinized by Chen Changsheng made Hei Shui feel extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, Chen Changsheng asked indifferently:

"Tell me about it!"

Why is it hidden in the sea outside Chentang Pass?

Judging from your demeanor, it seems you are not acting voluntarily.

Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's question, a hint of sadness and bitterness flashed in Hei Shui's dragon eyes.

After a slight pause, he replied in a low voice:

"Your insight is truly remarkable."

"This junior...is not here of his own free will."

"In ancient times, I committed a grave mistake and was punished by being tasked with guarding this section of the waterway. I used my own dragon essence to harmonize the water and quell the floods, thus atoneing for my sins."

"Later... the Dragon Clan suffered a calamity, and the Heavenly Court was also in turmoil. Supervision gradually loosened, but the restrictions on me remained, preventing me from leaving."

"That is why I have been cultivating in seclusion here, barely clinging to life until now."

After hearing what Hei Shui said, Chen Changsheng was secretly shocked.

It was obvious that the black dragon was referring to the calamity that befell the dragon race, most likely the Dragon-Han First Calamity, which was the ancient war between the three races.

If that's the case, then this black dragon has lived for a very long time.

"Perhaps it is because of the great mistakes he made that he was imprisoned here and was able to survive."

Chen Changsheng muttered to himself.

After the initial calamity of the Dragon-Han era, the three races nearly perished together.

The glorious ancient civilization came to an end, and countless primordial gods, demons, and powerful beings perished.

The primordial land was left scarred and its spiritual veins were severely damaged.

If the black dragon hadn't made a mistake and had participated in the battle, with his limited strength, he would have had little chance of surviving.

"Truly, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and blessing may be a harbinger of misfortune!"

After a moment of reflection, Chen Changsheng came to his senses and realized that in the primordial world, cause and effect permeated everything.

Just as Chen Changsheng was about to say something, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:

【Ding! 】

[A level 4 treasure chest has been discovered!]

[Shall we proceed with the excavation?]

"Um?"

"A level four treasure chest?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng was secretly startled, but without much thought, he quickly sent a response:

"Let's go!"

Upon receiving Chen Changsheng's response, a route to the treasure's location quickly came to mind.

Then, Chen Changsheng raised his hand and pointed to the sea area that Blackwater had previously broken through.

"what?"

Seeing this, Blackwater looked completely bewildered and quickly asked:

"Senior, what's wrong?"

Meanwhile, Li Jing and his son, who were also present, were caught off guard by Chen Changsheng's sudden action.

Upon hearing Hei Shuiyan's question, Chen Changsheng replied calmly:

"Where is that place?"

Blackwater paused for a moment, then, not daring to conceal anything, quickly replied:

"Reporting to senior, that sea area is where I cultivate."

Chen Changsheng nodded, a look of interest appearing on his face, and said with a smile:

"That's quite a coincidence."

"Just now, I was lost in thought and suddenly sensed that your lair was faintly emitting a precious light and concealing a Daoist aura."

"If my senses are correct, there should be treasures in the place where you cultivate."

As soon as Chen Changsheng uttered these words, Hei Shui exclaimed in surprise:

"What?"

"Is there a treasure in the place where I cultivate?"

"How is this possible?"

Hei Shui looked bewildered and caught off guard by what Chen Changsheng said.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing and his son were also utterly astonished.

"What's going on?"

"Is there a chance to find a treasure?"

"How did Master Chen know that?"

Li Jing was secretly surprised and his head was buzzing.

Just then, Chen Changsheng turned his gaze and looked directly at the black water, speaking in a cold voice:

"What's wrong?"

"Judging from your expression, you don't seem to quite believe what I'm saying?"

Upon hearing this, Blackwater was taken aback, his lips parted slightly, but he didn't know how to respond.

After all, he had been cultivating in seclusion in that sea area for countless years.

Heishui was already intimately familiar with every blade of grass, every tree, every grain of sand, and every stone within it!

In Blackwater's view, if there were any treasures in his cultivation grounds, how could he, as their master, be completely unaware?

Because of Chen Changsheng's power, Heishui dared not refute him directly, which left him at a loss for words.

"Master."

"You can sense the treasure even from this far away?"

After a brief silence, Li Jinzha suddenly spoke up, blinking his bright, lively eyes as he looked at Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng smiled slightly, not answering Li Jinzha, but instead looking at Heishui and saying with a smile:

"You still don't seem to quite believe what I'm saying."

Upon hearing this, Blackwater quickly pursed his lips and replied:

"Replying to Senior, it's not that I don't believe what you say, it's just..."

"I have been lying in wait in that sea for countless years."

"Of course, if there is truly a treasure or opportunity, and you can sense it, it must be because you are destined to find it."

At this point, Blackwater abruptly stopped.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng remained calm and composed. He had encountered similar situations countless times during his treasure hunt.

He paused for a moment, then smiled calmly and said:

"Whether there are any treasures or opportunities will be known once we go and see for ourselves."

Then, Chen Changsheng turned his gaze to Li Jing and his son standing beside him, and said:

"General Li, my disciples, how about I take you treasure hunting?"

Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Li Jing was taken aback and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

On the contrary, Li Jinzha, upon hearing that they were going to dig for treasure, immediately became so excited that he danced with joy:

"Yes, Master!"

"Treasure hunting must be really interesting."

Seeing Li Jinzha's reaction, Li Jing suddenly frowned and glared at him, signaling him not to speak recklessly.

Chen Changsheng paid no attention to this, glanced at the black water, and said in a cold voice:

"Let's go! Take us to your cultivation place!"

Upon hearing this, Hei Shui immediately bowed respectfully.

"Yes, senior!"

"This junior will take you to my cultivation place."

Having said that, Hei Shui suddenly stretched out his body, transforming into a black streak of light that soared into the sky.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng waved his wide sleeves, directly grabbing Li Jing and his son, and quickly chasing after them towards the Blackwater.

Before long, Chen Changsheng and the other two followed Hei Shui to the place where he was cultivating.

"Senior, this is where I cultivate."

"Where is the fortuitous treasure you spoke of, senior?"

Blackwater asked, still somewhat skeptical, and wanting to see if Chen Changsheng could truly find any treasures in his cultivation grounds.

Chen Changsheng did not answer Hei Shui's question, but instead walked straight toward the treasure location indicated by the system.

Upon seeing this, Hei Shui paused for a moment, then looked at the same thing as Li Jing and his son.

Then, the three of them quickly chased after Chen Changsheng.

Before long, Chen Changsheng and his group arrived at the place where the level-four treasure chest was buried.
