Huwang Xiao looked throughout the square before him, greatly surprised. Ever since he got into the Dragon City, the twin dragons had been inactive, with no indications of moving at all. Now, however, they were violently stirring!
‘What is happening?!’ While shocked, Huwang Xiao’s feet arrived on the square.
The square area wasn’t big, covering a few miles at most. Round the square were many erect stone columns of the same size, the only difference was the shape of the dragon engraved on each of their surfaces. Some were five-clawed golden dragons, some were hybrid dragons, blowing wind dragons, some blood dragons, and others fire dragons.
On the surface, one couldn’t tell if there is anything unique about this place, but the strong reaction of the black and blue dragons inside his body couldn’t be mistaken. There needed to be something hidden in this square.
Huwang Xiao scanned around carefully. In the end he even used the Eye of Hell, but he still failed to notice anything special concerning this square. At last, Huwang Xiao’s eyes dropped on the rock stele at a corner of the square. It appeared common and ordinary, as if there was nothing unique about it, however when Huwang Xiao analyzed it carefully, he experienced that the stone stele was slightly out of place with the rest of the square.
Within a flicker, Huwang Xiao arrived in front of the rock stele. Up close, Huwang Xiao observed in the bottom corner of the stele two small characters inscribed on the top in ancient text. Fortunately, Huwang Xiao could recognize quite a lot of Dragon Clan text message from all the research he did back in Cosmic Star Academy and Duanren Institute.
Huwang Xiao read it softly: “Dragon Tomb!”
Dragon Tomb!
Huwang Xiao’s eye widened. This square was where the Dragon Tomb was located?!
Dragon Tomb, the burial grounds of the Dragon Clan’s experts! Thinking of this, strong-willed as Huwang Xiao was, he still couldn’t help trembling.
This Dragon Tomb had not been something that the Dragon Palace could compare with. Every inch of the dragon’s body was a treasure. Inside the Dragon Tomb were actual dragon corpses, as long as he could easily get even one Dragon Clan expert’s body, its value would far exceed the Earth Dragon egg or the divine quality pellets.
Ch.362
Huwang Xiao looked at the stone stele, doing his best to suppress the swelling enjoyment in his heart. He found the location of the Dragon Tomb, but the question now was how to get in.
Huwang Xiao studied the rock stele up and down, his intuition told him that the stone stele was the key to opening the entry to the Dragon Tomb. However, on this rock stele, apart from two tiny character types ‘Dragon Tomb’ at the bottom, there have been no other symptoms or writings. He couldn't even figure out what material the stone stele was manufactured from, as it was warm to the touch, smooth, and comfortable.
To Huwang Xiao, this rock stele felt as though it was alive, it was a very strange feeling.
Afterwards, Huwang Xiao’s gaze once again fell onto the two small characters in the bottom of the stone stele. An idea struck him, summoning the Blades of Asura to cut a small wound on his index finger. A bright red drop of bloodstream fell from Huwang Xiao’s finger onto both engraved characters.
The drop of blood vanished without a trace the instant it touched the stone stele and stunning rays of light burst out from the two ‘Dragon Tomb’ characters, the stone stele trembled slightly. Seeing this, Huwang Xiao’s exhilaration bubbled forth, squeezing another drop of blood onto the rock stele.
The light from the stone stele grew brighter as it shook more vigorously.
As Huwang Xiao fed increasingly more bloodstream to the two words, the stone stele became glaringly bright, shaking even more violently. When Huwang Xiao dropped more than twenty drops onto the rock stele, a loud dragon roar resounded. Crepuscular rays of light shone right out of the stone stele, enshrouding Huwang Xiao in a continuous rotation. Then, super fast of light, the scene before his eyes transformed as he was transported to a mountain range.
In the mountain range before him stood a huge towering tomb.
Huwang Xiao couldn’t find words to describe exactly how big this tomb was. Standing before this awe-inspiring sight, one would feel dwarfed in more than one way. Huwang Xiao was astounded as he viewed the Dragon Tomb. Three to four hundred zhang above the bottom, white clouds circled the very best, obscuring the real elevation from prying eye.
Then, Huwang Xiao noticed that those white clouds were actually condensed from long accumulated dragon aura!
After a Dragon Clan expert’s demise, the dragon essence within its body would be dispersed to the environment. Evidently, this thick dragon aura was dragon essence that dispersed outward from these experts’ body. Still, to have the ability to condense this level of dragon aura, you can imagine the terrifying degree of dragon substance in the clouds.
Huwang Xiao’s center moved, this was dragon aura accumulated for centuries long, ah, if he could absorb it, to what level could his cultivation enhance?! However, at the moment he didn't have the luxury to stay here and refine the dragon aura clouds.
Huwang Xiao called out the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, leaping as high as he could while activating the Thousand Demons Engulfing Destruction Array inside the 1000 Beast Cauldron. Instantly, just like a whale gulping drinking water, the dragon aura white clouds circling the Dragon Tomb’s maximum flowed in to the Linglong Treasure Pagoda-like galloping currents.
Despite exerting his full effort to push the Thousands of Beast Cauldron, the amount of dragon aura accumulated over centuries was too much for Huwang Xiao to transfer everything into the cauldron in a short time. It took a whole hour before he were able to absorb the abundant dragon aura in to the Thousand Beast Cauldron. When the last strand of dragon aura disappeared into the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, Huwang Xiao breathed in comfort; suppressing the ecstasy inside, he quickly came back the Linglong Treasure Pagoda into his body.
When all was done, his attention turned toward the Dragon Tomb’s entrance. Since he had gathered all the dragon aura, next would be exploring the Dragon Tomb. However, forbidden places such as tombs, most of them were heavily guarded with bans, thus Huwang Xiao did not rush in. Starting the attention of Hell, he cautiously examined the Dragon Tomb’s entrance.
When Huwang Xiao advanced to Saint realm, his spiritual force increased by leaps and bounds. Combined with the Vision of Hell, so long as he was careful enough, he could see through most curses and spells in place. Through the Eye of Hell, Huwang Xiao indeed found a certain ban placed at the entrance, and this ban actually covered every angle of the Dragon Tomb entrance, making it harder to break in!
A frown wrinkled Huwang Xiao’s brows, then he summoned the Godly Mt. Xumi, appearing in the Xumi Temple in a flash. To break this degree of ban relying on his current strength was impossible, his only reliance was the Godly Mt. Xumi at this point.
He activated the 10 Buddha Formation, shrinking the Godly Mt. Xumi to the size of fine dust and floated toward the Dragon Tomb entrance. With the Godly Mt. Xumi, Huwang Xiao passed through safely with no suspense.
As soon as the Godly Mt. Xumi reached the other side of the entry, majestic waves of true dragon fact energy submerged the little golden mountain, as if it dove into a vast ocean of dragon essence energy.
Huwang Xiao was dumbfounded.
Although separated by the Godly Mt. Xumi, he still sensed the terrifying influx of true dragon substance. Inside this Dragon Tomb, the dragon essence was too abundant, furthermore, it felt like it got a consciousness, to be able to initiate an attack on its own!
If it weren’t for Huwang Xiao possessing the Godly Mt. Xumi and advancing in to the Saint world, he would definitely be hurt the moment he tried to hurry in through the entrance by force.
Cautiously, Huwang Xiao guided the Godly Mt.Xumi to travel ahead, weaving through the sea of true dragon fact toward its source.
This Dragon Tomb was like a little world, although he already guessed that this Dra
gon Tomb is big, it wasn’t until he entered that he realized that it was many times bigger than he previously imagined. Flying forwards, the Godly Mt. Xumi was like a tiny boat floating in an endless sea.
While Huwang Xiao moved nearer to the source of true dragon essence, outside, in the Dragon City, Li Molin, Yao Shan, and the others attained the same sq . where Huwang Xiao found the rock stele to enter the Dragon Tomb.
“Dragon Tomb!” Li Molin stared joyfully at both words at the bottom of the stone stele, her eyes sparkling with joy.
“Dragon Tomb, haha, so the Dragon Tomb is actually here! ” Yao Shan laughed aloud. The other Deities Templar experts also showed an anticipative smile.
Dragon Tomb! Tomb of the Dragon Clan experts, they finally found it!
“According to ancient records, in order to open the Dragon Tomb, one only needs to use the blood of Saint realm experts and above.” Zhou Zheng said.
“Let me try.” Li Molin stepped up, cutting a wound on her finger, allowing her blood fall onto the rock stele. Almost immediately, a bright light burst forth from the stone stele.
A short while later, Li Molin’s group was transported to the entry of Dragon Tomb, coming to the same place where Huwang Xiao was before.
At the moment, inside the Dragon Tomb, Huwang Xiao persistently maneuvered the Godly Mt. Xumi through the ocean of true dragon essence, getting closer to the source. An hour later, Huwang Xiao arrived before a towering dragon palace.
The dragon palace Huwang Xiao found earlier had been huge, yet compared to the one before him, it was trivial. This was the foundation of the overwhelming true dragon substance sea inside the Dragon Tomb.
Huwang Xiao stopped before the entrance.
“Dragon God Palace!” Reading out the 3 words above the huge dragon palace.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Huwang Xiao once more used the attention of Hell to scan the encompassing before carefully moving forward with the Godly Mt. Xumi, getting into the Dragon God Palace.
Inside, the picture that welcomed Huwang Xiao blew his brain away.
In the majestic great hall of the Dragon God Palace, huge altars prearranged, and above every altar was a crystallized ice statues. Inside these crystal statues were divine dragons!
Each and every divine dragon was extremely life-like! These divine dragons were not sculptures, but real corpses of genuine Dragon Clan experts left out!
Ch.363
Looking at the twenty-something Dragon Clan experts’ bodies in crystal statues, Huwang Xiao’s breathing grew heavy.
Dragon Clan! These were all real dragons, ah!
In the past, when he was on Earth, the dragon was a mystical totem of Huaxia Country. In the hearts of its people, dragons held an insurmountable status.
It was quite a while before Huwang Xiao managed to calm down a little, his view falling onto the center altar in the fantastic hall. The center altar was much bigger set alongside the others, yet on that center altar, there is a single fist-sized pearl hovering above it. The vigorous true dragon fact outside originated from this little pearl.
Looking unblinkingly at this pearl, a lightning thought struck Huwang Xiao, “This, can it be the legendary Dragon Pearl?!”
Dragon Pearl! The Dragon Clan’s greatest treasure!
Only the Dragon Emperor could possess the Dragon Pearl, moreover, there was only one Dragon Pearl!
This Dragon Pearl was more valuable than any amount of dragon eggs, Dragon Bloodstream Crystals, and Divine Dragon Pills, even these real dragon experts’ bodies! Otherwise, it wouldn’t be called ‘treasure of the Dragon Clan’.
Maneuvering the Godly Mt. Xumi, Huwang Xiao approached the Dragon Pearl.
The Dragon Pearl emitted a faint golden halo. Inside, there seemed to be the shadow of a divine dragon, but it was too hazy to determine. When the Godly Mt. Xumi was in front of the Dragon Pearl, the fantastic halo emitted from the Dragon Pearl shone into the Xumi Temple, enveloping Huwang Xiao. He experienced as though he was bathing in dragon essence fluid, from outside to inside, from soul to flesh, an indescribably comfortable feeling filled Huwang Xiao, making him moan.
At this true point, the black and blue dragon martial spirits inside Huwang Xiao stirred, flying out of Huwang Xiao’s body, hovering above the Dragon Pearl. Influenced by the black and blue dragon’s atmosphere, the Dragon Pearl’s brightness increased, issuing long humming noises, and actually flew towards dark and blue dragons, circling the environment together.
While the Dragon Pearl flew around the black and blue dragons, Huwang Xiao noticed the dragon scales on both of these becoming shinier, the horn on their head grew longer, and the dragon might emitted from them became stronger.
At this point, Huwang Xiao tried recalling the twin dragon martial spirits back to his body. He viewed as the black and blue dragons flew back towards him and the Dragon Pearl implemented, stopping before Huwang Xiao. The Dragon Pearl offered Huwang Xiao a familiar intimate feeling, akin to reuniting with a long-lost family.
“From now on, follow me.” Huwang Xiao spoke.
A soft hum came from the Dragon Pearl, moving up and down as if nodding.
The Dragon Pearl was the Dragon Clan’s great treasure, Huwang Xiao didn't find it strange that it had intelligence. A treasure of the grade, unless it willingly followed someone, even a God Realm grasp would be helpless wanting to take it away by push.
Watching the Dragon Pearl move up and down, Huwang Xiao’s heart leaped with delight. He extended a hand out, and the Dragon Pearl flew onto Huwang Xiao’s palm. Even as he looked at the Dragon Pearl in his hand, Huwang Xiao could hardly rein in the elation he was feeling.
In the end, he put the Dragon Pearl away in to the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, he'd refine it after going out. Huwang Xiao then shifted his attention onto the crystal statue on the guts altar, since the Dragon Pearl was on the same altar, then without a doubt, this was the body of the Dragon Emperor.
This particular crystal statue sealed your body of the five-clawed golden dragon corpse, the Dragon Emperor’s body. Even though Dragon Emperor was lifeless, Huwang Xiao was still able to feel the vestige of its majestic momentum when it was alive.
Calming down the messy thoughts in his mind, a suction power originated from both his hands, planning to take the Dragon Emperor’s body into the Godly Mt. Xumi. But Huwang Xiao was flabbergasted, the crystal statue didn’t move one in .. At that time when Huwang Xiao got the fantastic Dragon Saber, though it was as heavy as a hill, he still were able to lift it up, but he didn’t even shake this ice statue. Giving Huwang Xiao a feeling comparable to an ant trying to move a great boulder.
Taking a deep breath, Huwang Xiao initiated the real essence energy from his dantian and a suction drive once again came from both of his hands. Finally, the giant crystal statue relocated, but then again, it merely moved. To Huwang Xiao, it was like he was transporting a mountain.
At this time, a thought struck Huwang Xiao, quickly removing all the sixty over quality one spirit stones from the spatial ring he got from Ao Baixue. He positioned ten grade one spirit rocks inside the Ten Buddha Formation in one go.
The Ten Buddha Development broke out in a resplendent light, strands of Buddhism energy surged into Huwang Xiao’s body.
He made another attempt, the powerful suction force once again coming from his hands, but this time, the crystal statue was instantly lifted in the air and transferred in to the Xumi Temple, placed at one part.
After the crystal statue went into the Xumi Temple, Huwang Xiao sensed as though all the energy in his body was drained empty, falling to his butt in the Ten Buddha Formation, panting heavily out of breath.
Huwang Xiao quickly swallowed a pellet and executed Instant Recovery to replenish his energy. Having recovered, his attention shifted onto another altar. He previously taken the Dragon Emperor’s corpse, so his next target was the Dragon King’s corpse and the Elders.
A powerful suction force once more surged out from Huwang Xiao’s ha
nds, the crystal statue on the still left side flew up just a little and was immediately transferred to the Xumi Temple by Huwang Xiao.
The first crystal statue on the left was a Tuo Dragon. In the Dragon Clan, the Tuo Dragon acquired an extremely high status, otherwise it wouldn’t be positioned so close to the Dragon Emperor.
Staring at the two large crystal statue of the Dragon Emperor and the Tuo Dragon inside the Xumi Temple, Huwang Xiao was severely exhausted. Transferring these two crystal statues in to the Xumi Temple was more exhausting than battling a high-level Saint world expert.
Huwang Xiao swallowed another pellet and executed Instant Recovery to recuperate as quickly as possible. Huwang Xiao once again wanted to draw Buddhism energy from the Ten Buddha Formation, however the ten quality one spirits stones crumbled, all the religious energy within depleted.
Ignoring the ache in his heart, Huwang Xiao removed another ten grade one spirits rocks and placed them at the center of the Ten Buddha Formation, providing a new wave of Buddhism energy into his body.
Huwang Xiao moved on to the next altar on the still left, lifting the crystal statue to the air and transferring it into the Xumi Temple. The second left dragon was a Buddha Dragon. Like the Tuo Dragon, the Buddha Dragon had a very high position within the Dragon Clan.
After successfully transferring this Buddha Dragon in to the Xumi Temple, Huwang Xiao was emptied out once more. Going through the same recovery process, Huwang Xiao started on the fourth crystal statue.
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth!
Gradually, the amount of dragon crystal statues inside the Xumi Temple grew in number.
When Huwang Xiao was about to start on the twelfth crystal statue, from afar, whistling wind sounded from the entrance direction, causing his heart to tighten.
