Chapter 926: Entering the Burial Ground
t, the sky realm was still bustling.Shen Xiang followed this pair of stunning mother and daughter as they passed several streets, arriving at a grand gate to a manor. Shen Xiang didn't know what kind...Chapter 926: Entering the Tomb Site
Shen Xiang was swimming through the molten fire under the earth, searching for an entrance to the demon dragon's tomb site. He had made some progress and could feel the strange changes happening beneath him more clearly.
But at that moment, a dragon roar shook the molten fire, causing it to churn and become even hotter.
"What's going on Little brat dragon, is that your emperor dragon This roar is too terrifying," Shen Xiang felt like he was in turbulent water and found it hard to steady himself.
"This is not a normal dragon, but it's indeed a dragon's voice," Long Xueyi felt very puzzled too and began searching through her vast inheritance memories for relevant information.
"What does it mean when you say this is not a normal dragon" Shen Xiang asked, using divine power to lock onto the spot he had just confirmed.
"Is it not a normal dragon"
"You're saying you didn't explain anything," the molten fire had stabilized, and he started swimming upwards.
"A normal dragon has flesh and blood, but this one doesn't have any flesh and blood. However, it possesses dragon soul, although the dragon soul has no consciousness! Since there is a dragon soul, there must be a dragon body, but the dragon body isn't made of flesh and blood. It could be a團 of energy, like rivers, or mountains…"
"The dragon form is one of the perfect forms among various beast species born from heaven and earth. If conditions permit, such an abnormal dragon would be born, these dragons don't have life bodies, won't reproduce, and won't exist forever. After death, they would return to heaven and earth anew," Long Xueyi explained in detail: "The same goes for other forms of divine beasts, but dragons have more than others."
"So there is such a dragon above Could it be the mineral vein transforming into a dragon" Shen Xiang suddenly exclaimed, though he didn't know about the legend of becoming a Heavenly Emperor but knew that such mineral veins were extraordinary.
"It's highly possible. If that's the case, then this mineral vein would be terrifying!" Long Xueyi was a royal dragon, but such forms of dragons were rarely seen before. Even among the royal dragon race, many elders only heard about them but didn't see them.
"This dragon has comprehended the Dao and evolved an extraordinary poisonous array on the earth to protect itself. This is definitely extraordinary!" Bie Youyou said: "Our Bai family once built on a tiger-shaped spirit essence vein, and no one could break through in the Heavenly Demon Realm."
Shen Xiang swam to the highest point, hitting a hard stone. These stones had been tempered and were very rigid but lacked crafting value.
"So many small holes!" Shen Xiang noticed that there were countless holes the size of hair strands spread all over these stones, and those flames were flowing out from these small holes.
"Looks like this is the main reason for the formation of the crystal stone mineral vein. How can I get up" Shen Xiang was in a dilemma, originally planning to slash out with the Qinglong Slashing Demon Blade but worried that it might cause the molten fire to spew out from there and destroy the crystal stone mineral vein.
Shen Xiang searched for a whole day and finally found a rather large hole big enough to fit in a nail.
"It looks like I can only turn into a very small ant," Shen Xiang hadn't tried new transformation techniques since his divine soul reached perfection.
It was hard to increase or decrease size in transformation techniques, but luckily, he could now cultivate divine power, so he was able to do it.
Shen Xiang turned into a very small ant, crawling through the hole. Now he realized how hard it was to turn into an ant as his divine power flowed away quickly.
Heat gushed out from the small hole, forming a thrust that pushed his ant-like body up forcefully, making him move rapidly through the narrow tunnel.
The earth's core was deep, and Shen Xiang was moving towards the front, having a long distance to cover. With the thrust pushing him upwards at an incredible speed, it took him three days before he arrived in a heated underground passage. This place was full of white mist, emitting warm energy that turned into water droplets on the stone walls.
This underground passage was naturally formed, tall enough for two carriages to pass through comfortably. Shen Xiang transformed back into a human form, soaking in the warm water here and finally leaving the core of the earth. He felt frightened recalling his experiences.
"These waters are formed from spiritual energy!" Standing in the passage, Shen Xiang's waist-deep warm water was comfortable. He carefully inspected the stone walls on both sides of the passage, noticing countless small holes emitting white mist. The white mist was formed by this water dripping down from these small holes.
"The fire energy in the earth's core flows through these hair-sized holes, converting into dense spiritual energy! These small holes could be channels for the spiritual energy to condense." Shen Xiang guessed.
"There must be many passages like this here. Following the flow of water, there isn't enough spiritual energy in this place, and it needs to be refined further before being poured into a certain location for crystallization," Su Meiyao said. If the spiritual essence was very pure, she would definitely ask Shen Xiang to get some more in.
However, even if he brought them here, it would be useless as these spiritual essences would gradually degrade over time after leaving the dragon vein. They would become purest if crystallized immediately, so it was best to let them crystallize.
Moreover, this dragon vein was still growing stronger and might become even more powerful in the future!
"Meiyao Sister, come out and take a bath together," Shen Xiang had a mischievous smile on his face.
"This place isn't safe, making me feel uneasy," Su Meiyao's voice was charming and intoxicated: "Little rascal, my sister also wants to bathe with you properly."
Shen Xiang soaked in the water, letting it carry him away and found this feeling quite pleasant.
"I've finally arrived at the demon dragon's tomb site, but I'm not sure how to mine here!" Shen Xiang wasn't completely relaxed. Previously, when he was in the core of the earth, there had been a dragon roar heard.
After three hours, Shen Xiang suddenly noticed that the spiritual essence inside this passage wasn't flowing straight forward but spiraling upwards.
"Listen, this sounds like the sound of waterfalls. Is it ending" Shen Xiang was shocked, using divine power to make himself float and following the water flow forward.
Soon, he arrived at the mouth of the passage and saw countless passages coming out and pouring white spiritual essence into a deep pit full of white mist. The pit was large, circular with concentric passages around the stone walls, and he didn't know how many circles there were because the white mist was too thick to see clearly.
It's hard to imagine this is all naturally formed. The spiritual essence flowed through winding passages and fell into this place, flowing like water within certain symbols in these passages where changes occurred before falling into the bottomless pit. Shen Xiang felt that these passages were like a human's meridians, and this deep pit was the dantian!
"Can't see any crystal stone mineral vein, is this not where it's at" Shen Xiang was puzzled.
"The distance to the ground is still quite far. If ordinary people were digging here, they would need many years before reaching this point, and the dragon vein might not be in this position. This place could just be a place for condensing spiritual essence, and the situation here is too complicated," Long Xueyi said.
Suspended at the mouth of the passage, Shen Xiang suddenly saw a golden light flash by and an old man appeared in front of him, holding a black iron hammer. His old eyes shone goldenly, and his face was full of shock.
"Where did you come from The only entrance to this place is through us, have you been inside all along" The old man's voice shook.rayed them.Little Nine and Big Nine were Feng Yujie and Divine Empress respectively."It was Little Nine.
