PDLP Chapter 89 The True Dragon Appears
Chapter 89 The True Dragon Appears
Zhu Jiuhua took out a golden dragon scale from his storage ring and handed it to Li Lan.
This dragon scale is the size of a palm-leaf fan, as hard as metal, and extremely heavy. In terms of material alone, even a celestial artifact would probably have difficulty damaging it. There are also many mysterious and unpredictable Dao principles brewing around it.
Li Lan sighed inwardly. This thing was already so extraordinary even though it was just a fake dragon scale. What kind of wonder must the dragon scale that Luo Tian Dasheng brought into the Wanyuan Mountain Range be?
"This place is where the Mingzun made a pact with an entity outside the Wanyuan Mountain Range. Forbidden powers are everywhere, and others cannot approach. Only descendants of the Mingzun, carrying the pact tokens, are allowed to enter..."
Zhu Jiuhua spoke up, asking, "Can you sense the presence of forbidden power?"
Since discovering this place, the Zhu family has come here many times. However, even with dragon scales, it is extremely difficult to get close to this cave. Even one of the great immortals died. After much thought, they felt that the problem must lie in their bloodline.
Although the Zhu family obtained the dragon scale, they were not direct descendants of the Mingzun.
That's why they went to great lengths to find Ming Village.
Li Lan nodded: "There's a way in."
He certainly didn't sense any forbidden power, but his Ruyi Jade was inexplicably sending guidance into his mind at this moment.
This Ruyi Jade was left behind by the Great Sage Luo Tian. He entered the Ten Thousand Yuan Mountain Range with the True Dragon Scales, fearing he would not be able to return. Therefore, he entrusted his descendants with this item to search for it. So, this thing... can guide Li Lan.
It now seems that the Great Sage Luo Tian once visited this place.
Seeing him nod, Zhu Jiuhua and the others were overjoyed; it seemed that this was indeed the case!
"go quickly!"
He spoke.
Li Lan immediately entered the cave hall. His gait was strange. At the entrance, he first took a small half step in, then took three steps back, bowed slightly as if in a salute, and then took two more steps forward...
He stepped into the cave.
Nothing happened!
"Just as I thought!"
"Only descendants of the Mingzun who possess the dragon scales are allowed to enter!"
"Great!"
Everyone in the Zhu family was overjoyed at the sight.
Zhu Jiuhua was extremely excited and clenched his fists.
"Obtain the Dao Yuan Grass, refine it into the Dao Yuan Pill, and after consuming it, I will become the number one genius in the clan, I will become the Holy Son... and the world will find it difficult to find my rival!"
He seemed to have already seen a bright future.
Unbeknownst to everyone, a barely perceptible glint of cold light was gradually appearing in Zhu Xianchou's eyes as he stood behind them...
……
Li Lan's gait was strange; to outsiders, it looked like an ancient sorcerer performing some kind of dance.
He finally arrived at the stone table.
Everyone was watching him, tense and expectant!
That is, at this moment --
Suddenly, a golden light shone brightly in the cave, dazzlingly beautiful, like a sacred light descending from the heavens, enveloping the stone table and forming a huge curtain of light.
Within the golden light curtain, it seemed as if a majestic dragon was soaring through the four directions, reigning supreme above the nine heavens, and letting out a deep roar!
As the dragon roared, everyone inside and outside the cave felt their scalp tingle, as if they had seen the most powerful and domineering being in the world, and felt a desire to bow down and worship.
"This is... a real dragon?!"
Zhu Jiuhua's protector was completely shocked. He couldn't help but kneel down, his old eyes filled with excitement.
"Secret history records that when the source of the strange disturbances was stirring, the Mingzun came to the Wanyuan Mountain Range and made a vow with an unspeakable being. The scales of the True Dragon were the proof of the vow... Later, some people speculated that the one who made the vow with the Mingzun was the True Dragon Clan!"
The True Dragon Clan!
Everyone else was also shocked.
True dragons, phoenixes, and other mythical creatures are considered the most powerful races in the immortal realm, belonging to the forbidden order, but almost no one in the world has ever actually seen them.
Now, the True Dragon Clan has actually appeared within the Ten Thousand Mountain Range?
Could it be that the Wanyuan Mountain Range is the dwelling place of the True Dragon Clan?
Before they could think too much, the others also knelt down and paid their respects to the dragon figure in the light screen.
Inside the cave hall.
Li Lan was also somewhat shocked, but at the same time, countless questions flashed through her mind.
Because... he is definitely not of the bloodline of the Mingzun, and the dragon scales he holds are fake. So why is he still able to summon the true dragon clan that made a pact with the Mingzun?
This doesn't seem right.
"If you wish to see me, where are the offerings?"
An aged voice slowly rang out.
Li Lan was very puzzled, while Zhu Jiuhua and the others behind him became even more anxious.
"Oh no! The descendants of the Mingzun went in with the True Dragon Scale, which must have triggered an ancient ritual. But we haven't prepared any offerings!"
Moreover, although historical records document the covenant between the Mingzun and the mysterious being, no one knows the details of how the ceremony was conducted or what was used as tribute. Even if they could think of it, they wouldn't know what to prepare.
"Ming Lanli, quickly ask the True Dragon what offerings it requires?"
Zhu Jiuhua hurriedly spoke.
Li Lan tentatively asked, "My lord... what offerings do you require?"
The aged voice was filled with authority, like an irresistible decree: "The divine source of time, the sacred essence of space and time, the spirit of ten thousand years of earth..."
Although Li Lan had never heard of these things before, he knew they were probably rare treasures!
As expected, Zhu Jiuhua and the others kneeling outside the cave were all shocked.
"The Divine Source of Time, that's the most top-tier divine source! Our clan doesn't even have a single divine source, let alone the Divine Source of Time?"
"The Essence of Time and Space... is something that only exists in legends. It is said to be the essence of time and space that drips down between the rise and fall of the river of time and space. Who can find this thing?"
"Earth spirits do exist, but they are things that have existed for ten thousand years..."
Even though they were all members of a large and well-informed family like the Zhu family, they still felt completely bewildered.
Could it be that when the Mingzun came to this place to make a pact, he found these things to use as tribute?
"I offer this tribute, fulfilling the old covenant, and bestow upon you the Dao Yuan Grass to help you refine the True Dragon Technique, so as to save all living beings under heaven."
The aged voice rang out once more, a resounding and powerful sound, like the Daoist chant, truly like the ruler of the heavens, whose decree could not be easily disobeyed!
Upon hearing this, combined with his previous doubts, Li Lan suddenly realized that this was most likely... a setup.
Why is Daoyuan Grass here?
Bait!
Clearly, this Dao Yuan Grass has an owner. Its owner needs things like the Divine Source of Time and the Sacred Essence of Spacetime, so it deliberately placed the Dao Yuan Grass here to lure others to come.
However, this person can only stay inside the cave and cannot go out directly, so obviously, his strength is not particularly strong... This made Li Lan feel slightly relieved.
"Dao Yuan Grass, True Dragon Technique!"
Outside the cave hall, upon hearing Long Ying's words, Zhu Jiuhua was completely excited and agitated.
The True Dragon Technique is a forbidden technique in the world. Only the most outstanding geniuses can cultivate even a few levels of it, but now... as long as the offering is completed, he can walk this path!
"My lord, may I have a thousand-year-old goblin here?"
In desperation, Zhu Jiuhua spoke up directly.
This goblin was the most precious thing he possessed. Originally, it was intended to be the core item to lay the foundation for his future as he attempted to break through to the Immortal Path, but he couldn't care less about that now.
"can."
An aged voice rang out from within the light screen.
"Ming Lanli, quickly, fetch it for the master!"
Zhu Jiuhua spoke, and Li Lan turned around and walked out of the cave with strange steps. Zhu Jiuhua took out a jade box and handed it to Li Lan.
Li Lan took the jade box, but glanced at Zhu Xianchou kneeling behind the crowd out of the corner of her eye.
He noticed that while everyone's attention was drawn to the dragon's shadow and they were completely focused, Zhu Xianchou... quietly moved a little closer to the seal's evil leakage.
Li Lan was slightly startled, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
He took the jade box and silently turned back. However, this time he took a different route than the first time. He repeatedly jumped back and forth at the entrance of the cave, going in and out again.
It seems that the route into this forbidden cave is changing at any time and in any place.
Zhu Jiuhua said impatiently, "Lord Zhenlong is waiting, hurry up..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a sound like bricks cracking rang out, extremely jarring in the quiet corridor!
In an instant, everyone instinctively turned around.
The Immortal Source Wall, which was built at the cost of the lives of eighty miners...
A small breach has already been made!
