Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 645 - : The Wonderful Person

Chapter 645: Chapter 645: The Wonderful Person

An earthquake?

Wang Chen was extremely surprised.

It was known that although Yongle Dungeon carried the filth and soiled nature of Immortal City, a place people despised and feared, its existence was indispensable, constructed to be exceedingly sturdy and solid.

Moreover, each level was protected by a powerful array, so even if mountains crumbled and the earth split, it shouldn’t be easily shaken.

Then how could such a situation arise?

Of course, the might of heaven and earth was also incredibly terrifying, and even the most solid structures could not withstand the power of nature.

...

But now was not the time to think about this problem. Wang Chen figured that if an earthquake that even Yongle Immortal City couldn’t withstand were to erupt, he needed to find a way to escape from here.

He couldn’t let the prison become his tomb!

“Senior Han!”

Seeing the tremors growing more intense, Wang Chen made a snap decision and said to the black-robed cultivator, “I have to leave.”

If not now, when?

“Wait!”

But Old Demon Han raised his hand to stop him and said, “Don’t run.”

Wang Chen was torn between laughter and tears. “Senior Han, I do not wish to die here, nor am I able to help you.”

The array sealing this dungeon was at least of Golden Core level, and with Wang Chen’s current strength, even ten of him combined would not be able to break it open.

Furthermore, Wang Chen didn’t have much of a connection with Old Demon Han. Their relationship was merely that of a prison guard and a prisoner.

They could only chat occasionally.

Wang Chen owed him nothing – he certainly shouldn’t have to die alongside him!

“If you don’t want to die, then you’d better stay right here,”

Old Demon Han said slowly. “Do you really think I would be trapped to death in here?”

Wang Chen was startled.

The tone of Old Demon Han was too assertive, and his words exuded an immense confidence.

Truth be told, Wang Chen wasn’t very convinced.

But intuition told him that staying here was the right decision, he should listen to the other man!

As a result, Wang Chen hesitated for a moment, only to hear a thunderous boom—the passageway connecting to the dungeon collapsed.

Huge rocks completely blocked the entire tunnel, utterly destroyed.

Shit!

At this moment, Wang Chen’s heart was indescribable.

He had had the opportunity to escape just now!

Now indeed, he might really end up trapped to death here.

Wang Chen shook his head and sighed, then took out a chair from the Sumeru Ring and sat down.

He didn’t blame heaven or others because this was his own choice.

Having made the decision, he had to accept the consequences that came with it—there was nothing to complain about.

And at this time, the frequency of the earthquake actually decreased, and its intensity weakened. After a few more trembles, the dungeon where Wang Chen was ceased to show any further anomalies.

There’s hope!

Wang Chen’s eyes lit up—there really was a silver lining.

As long as this place remained intact, it didn’t matter whether Yongle Immortal City or the Forbidden Prison Department sent a rescue or not, he had a way to get out.

After all, he had enough supplies in the Sumeru Ring.

In the current situation, being still was better than rash action. Calming his mind, Wang Chen took out a tea table and set up a small red clay stove.

He began to boil water for tea.

When troubled, don’t panic—

No, have a cup of Spiritual Tea first!

As the water in the stove began to boil, Old Demon Han, who had been watching his movements with interest, suddenly spoke, “Make a cup for me as well.”

Wang Chen nodded and brewed two cups of steaming Spiritual Tea.

He usually enjoyed drinking tea and had studied the art of tea to some extent. Although he couldn’t rely on the immortal cultivation panel to cheat his way to improving related skills, he could still brew a decent cup.

What Wang Chen hadn’t expected was that just as he was preparing to deliver the Spiritual Tea, Old Demon Han actually stood up and walked out of the range of the prohibition spell, casually approaching him as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard.

“Get a chair for me,” Old Demon Han said.

Seeing Wang Chen in a daze, Old Demon Han tapped the table impatiently with his finger, “You can’t expect a guest to stand while drinking tea, can you?”

Well, damn!

Wang Chen silently pulled out a new chair from the Sumeru Ring, setting it before the bigwig.

Turns out this guy wasn’t all talk; he truly was formidable!

The Array that sealed this cave was extremely fierce, and Wang Chen normally wouldn’t dare to approach within three feet of the prohibition spell.

He always delivered meals with mana,

the Array had a special passage only for food containers to enter and leave, and there were strict time limits.

Unexpectedly, it was as if it didn’t exist for Old Demon Han!

With both hands, Wang Chen respectfully presented the porcelain cup—please enjoy the tea, Bigwig.

“Hmm.”

Old Demon Han took the tea cup with grandiosity and finished it in one gulp.

“It’s tasteless,” he remarked, smacking his lips with an unsatisfied look. “Do you have any good wine or meat? I’ve been here for years, and my palate has become so bland, I can barely taste anything. Drinking just tea is truly unappetizing.”

The regular meals provided by the Forbidden Prison Department to prisoners were indeed hard to swallow, lacking oil and salt, extremely bland, and barely enough to keep someone alive.

It was said that the meal supply for Yongle Dungeon was completely contracted by a member of a Golden Core Noble Clan.

Wonder how many corrupt Spirit Stones they had pocketed!

Thus, Wang Chen took out some Spiritual Wine and Monster Beast Meat from the Sumeru Ring.

And a copper pot for hotpot!

He even brought out his own specially made hotpot base.

“Not bad!”

Old Demon Han, evidently a gourmet himself, immediately lit up with joy at the sight of Wang Chen’s array, his mouth watering at the prospect.

Truth be told, this man didn’t at all fit the image Wang Chen had of an esteemed sage!

In the copper pot, the soup roiled and bubbled as slices of snow-white beast meat were sequentially added, quickly filling the air with a tantalizing aroma.

Old Demon Han grabbed a hefty amount of meat with his chopsticks, rolled them in the dipping sauce, and shoved them into his mouth along with Wang Chen’s homemade condiment.

After chewing a couple of times, he looked utterly content, his eyes squinting in satisfaction.

“Not bad, kid,” he said.

After a pound of beast meat, the relationship between Old Demon Han and Wang Chen substantially warmed.

He patted Wang Chen on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong with me here.”

Before Wang Chen could even respond, the ground shook violently once again.

Almost shaking the hotpot setup over!

“This never ends!” exclaimed Old Demon Han, infuriated while he was enjoying his meal, and he burst out cursing, “Has everyone’s brains been kicked by a donkey? Can’t they see I’m eating here, ruining the mood with such disgraceful acts!”

Strangely enough, after his outburst, the frequent tremors of the ground stopped all of a sudden.

Old Demon Han got his peace, and he continued to tuck in heartily, urging Wang Chen to eat as well.

But his eating style was so domineering that despite Wang Chen continuously serving the meat, less than a tenth of it ended up in his own stomach!

Old Demon Han finished three jars of Spiritual Wine in one go.

Great, now slightly tipsy, he started pontificating and making grand statements,

speaking about things Wang Chen couldn’t understand.

Wang Chen indulged him like one would a child, serving good wine and meat without expecting anything in return, as long as he kept a clear conscience.

In the midst of their conversation, he suddenly sensed something.

Looking at the large stones that blocked the passage, he noticed that they had become noticeably loose, with lots of small stones falling down, clearly indicating a new development.
