Jiang Chen remained silent, listening intently, gaining a bit of understanding about the Delson Family. However, he found little interest in them. Even if the Delson Family possessed all the wealth of Earth, it held no allure for him. At Jiang Chen's level, the pursuit was eternal life; material wealth had become insignificant.
Perhaps the Delson Family was no longer chasing after riches either, considering they had more money than they could spend. As Jiang Chen and Ronnie walked and talked, they unknowingly arrived at the edge of a cliff on the northern side of the island. The terrain here was unique; steep mountains formed a U-shape extending northward, with seawater filling the embrace of the U-shaped landscape.
Peering down from the cliff, Jiang Chen observed the deep blue waters below, starkly contrasting with the shallower waters outside. "Is this what you call the Underwater Abyss?" Jiang Chen asked.
Master Ronnie nodded but seemed reluctant to discuss matters regarding the Undying Dragon Clan. Noticing Jiang Chen gazing into the abyss, he pointed to a small stone house beside the cliff and said, "We’ve arrived. Let’s go inside. If you want to know anything, just ask my master once we’re in there; you’ll find out everything."
Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from the ocean depths. With his current cultivation level, he could soar into the sky but diving ten thousand meters into the sea still posed a challenge. He found himself reminiscing about his past life’s abilities; if he were at that level now, he would have already activated the Avoid Water Technique and leaped into the Underwater Abyss.
Sighing inwardly, he thought about needing to seclude himself for cultivation after this trip to quickly enhance his strength; his current abilities were still lacking.
"What’s wrong?" Master Ronnie asked when he noticed Jiang Chen's slight sigh.
"Nothing, let’s go in," Jiang Chen replied.
Upon entering the stone house, he found it to be a hidden paradise. It resembled an underground villa with spacious floor-to-ceiling windows built right into the cliffside. Sunlight streamed through the glass, illuminating the interior brightly.
The area was vast, featuring a long corridor that sloped downward, with many bodyguards in black standing watch—quiet and oppressive. However, for Jiang Chen, it felt completely unremarkable.
In a grand hall filled with European-style decor, Jiang Chen saw Master Ronnie's master, Jon Delson. His first impression of Jon was not one of authority or imposing presence but rather that of someone whose time was running out.
With his current cultivation level, although Jiang Chen couldn’t see a person’s fate at a glance, he could perceive their vitality. This old man leaned back in a wheelchair with a crooked neck; his body resembled that of a withered tree. His cheeks and eye sockets were sunken in, and his vitality seemed weak—like a flickering spark in a cold wind that could extinguish at any moment.
"Mr. Jiang, please wait," Master Ronnie said before moving to speak quietly with Jon Delson by his wheelchair.
Jiang Chen didn’t eavesdrop intentionally but instead surveyed the hall. Although he had no interest in art or antiques, everything in this room—from the paintings on the walls to the antiques in cabinets—was undoubtedly valuable.
"Mr. Jiang, please come over," Master Ronnie called after a few minutes.
As Jiang Chen approached, he was somewhat surprised to hear Jon Delson speak fluent Huaxia Language with a distinct Beijing accent. After thinking it over for a moment, Jiang Chen realized that Jon must have a keen interest in Huaxia culture; it made sense that he would speak Huaxia Language well. In fact, Jiang Chen suspected that Jon's understanding of ancient Huaxia civilization might even surpass his own.
