Chapter 926: Entering the Burial Ground
Chapter 926: Entering the Burial Ground
Shen Xiang was wandering in the magma below the earth's core, searching for the entrance to the evil dragon's burial ground. He had made some progress, and he could feel the changes below more clearly.
But at this moment, a dragon roar came, causing the magma to churn and make it even hotter.
"What's going on? Little dragon, is this your royal dragon? The dragon's roar is too terrifying." Shen Xiang is now like being in the violently turbulent water, and it is difficult to keep steady.
"This is not a normal dragon, but this is definitely the voice of a dragon." Long Xueyi was also very confused, and began to look for relevant information in her vast inherited memory.
"What do you mean it's not a normal dragon?" Shen Xiang asked. He used his divine power to lock onto the place he had just confirmed.
"Just an abnormal dragon?"
"That's equivalent to no explanation." The magma had calmed down and he swam upwards.
"A normal dragon has flesh and blood, while an abnormal dragon has no flesh and blood, but has a dragon soul. However, a dragon soul has no consciousness! Since there is a dragon soul, there must be a dragon body. However, a dragon body is not flesh and blood. It can be a ball of energy, a river, or a mountain range..."
"The dragon form is one of the perfect forms of various beasts bred by heaven and earth. If conditions permit, this abnormal dragon will be born. These dragons have no living bodies, will not reproduce, and will not exist forever. After death, they will return to heaven and earth." Long Xueyi explained in detail: "Similarly, there will be other forms of mythical beasts, but dragons are relatively more numerous."
"So there is such a dragon on it? Could it be that the mineral vein turned into a dragon?" Shen Xiang suddenly exclaimed. Although he didn't know the legend of becoming the Emperor of Heaven, he knew that such a mineral vein was extraordinary.
"This is very possible. If this is true, then this mineral vein will be very terrifying!" Although Long Xueyi is from the Royal Dragon Clan, dragons of this form rarely appear. Even many old guys in the Royal Dragon Clan have only heard of it.
"This dragon has comprehended the great Dao and evolved a peerless fierce formation on the earth. It uses this method to protect itself. This is certainly extraordinary!" Bai Youyou said: "Our Bai family was built on the immortal lifeblood in the form of a tiger. No one in the demon world can break it."
Shen Xiang swam to the top and hit some solid stones. These stones had been tempered and were very hard, but they were not worth refining weapons.
"There are a lot of small holes!" Shen Xiang discovered that there were many hair-sized holes on these stones, which were scattered widely. The fire energy was leaking out from these small holes.
"It seems that this is the main reason for the formation of that crystal vein. How can I get up there?" Shen Xiang was in a dilemma. He originally planned to use the Azure Dragon Demon-Slaying Knife to cut a hole, but he was worried that it would cause magma to gush out from here, and then destroy the crystal vein.
Shen Xiang searched for a whole day and finally found a hole that was big enough to fit a nail in.
"It seems that I can only turn into a very small ant." Shen Xiang has not tried any new transformation techniques since his soul reached perfection.
In the art of transformation, it is difficult to become bigger, and the same is true for becoming smaller. Fortunately, he can now cultivate supernatural powers, so he can do it.
Shen Xiang turned into a very small ant and crawled into the hole. Now he realized how difficult it was to turn into an ant. His divine power was lost very quickly.
Heat surged up from the small hole, creating a thrust that pushed his ant-like body upward and made him move forward rapidly in the tiny passage.
The center of the earth is very deep. Shen Xiang is now moving towards the ground, and there is a long distance to go. He rises straight up with the thrust at an extremely fast speed. It took him three full days to reach an underground tunnel filled with hot water. The tunnel was filled with white mist. The warm mist attached to the stone walls of the tunnel and turned into water droplets that slid down.
This underground tunnel was formed naturally. It was two people tall, and two carriages could run side by side without feeling crowded. Shen Xiang changed back into human form and soaked in the warm water. He finally left the center of the earth, and he left as an ant. Thinking about his previous experience, he felt scared.
"All this water is made of spiritual energy!" Shen Xiang stood in the corridor, the warm and comfortable white water reached his waist. He looked carefully at the stone walls on both sides of the corridor and found that there were many small holes on them. The white mist overflowed from these small holes, turning into warm white mist, rising in the corridor, and turning into water droplets.
"The fire energy from the center of the earth has been transformed into rich spiritual energy through those hair-sized holes! The passages from those small holes all the way up are most likely a spiritual pattern that turns the fire energy into spiritual energy, and then condenses it into liquid." Shen Xiang guessed.
"There must be a lot of passages like this here. Follow the water flow. The spiritual energy here is not rich enough, so it needs to be purified and then flow into a certain place to crystallize." Su Meiyao said. If these spiritual liquids are very pure, she will definitely let Shen Xiang get more in.
However, it will be useless even if we get it in. Once these spiritual liquids are separated from the dragon vein, their quality will gradually decrease unless they are absorbed immediately. Therefore, it is best to crystallize them, as these are the purest spiritual energy.
Moreover, this dragon vein is still growing stronger, and it may become even stronger in the future!
"Sister Meiyao, come out and take a shower together." Shen Xiang had a wicked smile on his face.
"It's not safe here. It makes people feel uneasy." Su Meiyao's voice was charming and intoxicating: "Little rascal, sister also wants to have a good bath with you."
Shen Xiang soaked in the water, letting the current carry him along. This feeling made him feel very comfortable.
"I finally arrived at the evil dragon burial ground. I wonder how I can mine here!" Shen Xiang did not completely relax his vigilance, because when he was in the center of the earth before, a dragon roar was heard here.
Three hours later, Shen Xiang suddenly discovered that the spiritual liquid in this corridor was not flowing straight forward, but spiraling upward.
"Listen, this seems to be the sound of a waterfall. Is it coming to the end?" Shen Xiang was shocked. He quickly used his divine power to levitate himself, and then followed the water flow.
Soon, he came to the entrance of the tunnel, and saw that countless such tunnels were gushing out a large amount of white spiritual liquid, which fell into a deep pit full of white fog. The pit was very large, and on the circular stone wall of the pit, there were circles of tunnel entrances. Shen Xiang didn't know how many circles there were in total, because the white fog here was too thick to see clearly below.
It is hard to imagine that this is all naturally formed. The spiritual liquid flows in here through the winding corridors, which is equivalent to flowing through some spiritual patterns. Changes have already occurred in those corridors, and now it falls into this bottomless pit. Shen Xiang feels that those corridors are the meridians of the human body, and this deep pit is the Dantian!
"Why can't I see the crystal vein? Isn't it here?" Shen Xiang wondered.
"This place is still some distance from the ground. If an ordinary person wants to dig, it will take many years to get here. The dragon vein may not be here. Maybe this is just a place to refine spiritual liquid. The situation here is too complicated." Long Xueyi said.
Shen Xiang was floating at the entrance of the corridor, and suddenly he saw a golden light flashing over. An old man appeared in front of him, holding a black hammer, his eyes shining with golden light, and his face full of surprise.
"Where did you come from? We are the only entrance that can come here. Have you been here all the time?" The old man's voice trembled a little.
