Five Frozen Centuries

Wei Huo tugged at the chain and realized that it could not be pulled. It was as if there was a giant creature at the end of the chain.

Wei Huo did not use his full strength. If that happened, the chain might break.

“It’s time to go down!” Wei Huo mumbled to himself.

If he forcibly tugged the chain, it might destroy the Dragon Lock Well. It would be better for him to go down the well.

The world outside the mountain had long dried up to the extreme, almost turning into a desert. Perhaps it was not a bad thing to be watered by a well that kept appearing.

Wei Huo looked out the window. At that moment, the sky was already covered by dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. It seemed like heavy rain was about to fall.

Wei Huo was curious. Was there really a demonic dragon in the Dragon Lock Well? Was he going to stir up trouble by letting it out?

Wei Huo walked toward the Dragon Lock Well. The water in the well had already engulfed him. He did not feel any discomfort after entering the water. He could already breathe underwater.

Wei Huo pulled the chain and swam into the well’s mouth. The well water kept surging out, but Wei Huo was holding the chain. The weight of the chain blocked the upward stream.

Wei Huo, who was holding a huge chain, slowly descended. From time to time, deafening sounds of cows could be heard from the bottom of the well. Rumor had it that a dragon’s roar was similar to a bull’s roar. It was possible that a demonic dragon was indeed locked in the Dragon Lock Well.

It was not that Wei Huo did not believe it. He felt that a Legendary-level Naga could be locked in the well. It had a domain, it could stir up storms, and Legendary creatures could live for thousands of years there. It was possible that the dragon was still alive.

However…

Wei Huo looked at the chain in his hand. Could this chain really lock down Legendary-level creatures?

Perhaps the Dragon Lock Well was really an outlet into the sea. There was a stopper at the end of the chain.

Wei Huo kept falling. He felt that his falling speed was too slow, so he released his domain and used his Domain Force to go down.

The well water kept surging upward. The deeper he went, the stronger it became. It was not until Wei Huo arrived at the bottom of the well that he saw a huge hole. The well water emerged from the hole.

The cave entrance was pitch-black. A terrifying sound could be heard. The end of the Dragon Lock Well seemed to be connected to a pitch-black underground ocean.

There was a small cave entrance. Wei Huo slowly dived down and arrived at a vast underground space.

There was no end to this place. It was dark and confined. It was pitch-black, and there was only water around it.

Wei Huo felt like he had arrived in a new world. The cave entrance above his head was connected to another space-time. This was land, and there was a new area under his feet. There was no sky or land in that area.

There was nothing there except a chain that kept extending downward. Although Wei Huo had arrived at the end of the Dragon Lock Well, he had yet to reach the end of the chain.

He continued diving. He did not know what was hidden in the water, nor did he know what kind of existence was in the pitch-black water beneath his feet. The chain might really be holding a terrifying beast. It was deep in the water.

Wei Huo continued diving. The surrounding waters were much quieter. However, streams of water would flow from time to time. It made one wonder if something had swam past them.

Wei Huo’s Divine Sense continued extending but could not reach the bottom. It seemed like there was a black fog peeking out from deep within. However, it was one with the dark vessel and could not be distinguished.

Unfortunately, this was just a feeling. It felt like there were terrifying creatures deep in the water, but it did not seem like there were any. After all, Wei Huo did not find any creatures.

There seemed to be a red light under the water as well. This red light was like a pair of eyes, and the water flowed around it. It looked as if something was flowing in the water. It seemed like a monster in the deep sea had opened its mouth, waiting for Wei Huo to enter it bit by bit.

Sounds came from deep within the water.

The noise sounded like a creature’s voice. The sounds kept coming, but the sounds at the cave entrance at the bottom of the Dragon Lock Well suddenly turned into a bull’s cry or even a dragon’s roar.

The sounds came from the end of the chain. They made one wonder if there was a huge monster at the end of the chain.

However, could this chain really bind a monster? After all, the other end of the chain was tied to a stone tablet. What kind of creature could the stone tablet bind?

Wei Huo felt that the pressure around him was getting stronger. He had already dived thousands of meters deep. At that moment, the pressure in the water was immense. He could only use his domain to resist the water pressure.

The terrifying sound became louder and more rhythmic, as if a creature was snoring. This happened until Wei Huo’s feet touched the sand in the water.

Wei Huo’s domain could extend for hundreds of meters, so he had reached the cliff long ago. On one side of Wei Huo was a huge deep valley, and he had yet to reach the end of the chain.

Wei Huo stopped because he finally found a creature deep in the water.

It was an extremely weird flat fish. It did not have a fixed body, and it looked more like a fish-shaped rag. As the water flow and the water pressure changed, its body would also change. It did not have eyes or fins. It floated into the distance along with the waves.

There were living creatures in the vast waters. However, Wei Huo could not comprehend this. Had the person who had cast the chain come here personally? How had they dived so deep?

Wei Huo continued diving into the deep valley as terrifying sounds kept coming from the valley. Not long after diving, Wei Huo saw the end of the chain. It was not at the bottom of the valley, but on a protruding cliff. There was a huge nail made of special metal there. The end of the chain was tied to the top of the nail.

Wei Huo arrived in front of the gigantic nail and saw the three words ‘Dragon-Suppressing Divine Nail’ on it.

It was the third Dragon-Suppressing Divine Nail. In other words, there were at least a first and a second one.

It was unknown what material the nail was made of. It had been nailed to the cliff for thousands of years and tied up by a chain.

Wei Huo stroked the Divine Nail and felt that it was filled with energy. He suddenly understood that the Divine Nail was immortal and the chains couldn’t be broken just because of this energy!

It was just like bronze that was filled with inner Qi and was extremely hard to break. Bronze without inner Qi was no different from normal bronze.

Wei Huo realized that this energy was Dragon Qi!

The iron nail was suppressing a Dragon Vein!

Terrifying sounds kept coming from deep within the water, but Wei Huo did not care anymore. He finally knew what was locked in the Dragon Lock Well. He finally understood why there were so many Dragon Lock Wells all over the country.

This was an ancient fengshui mighty figure. He traveled around and used this method to suppress the Dragon Vein in the country. He wanted the Dragon Qi in the Dragon Vein to nourish the country’s territory and make it prosper forever.
