Chapter 1838: Being the Mastermind Once More

That was the bloodstain solidified on the wall, long-lasting.

There were no eyeballs in the deep-set dragon eyes, only two points of red light.

The horn on its head did not have multiple branches like a deer's antler either; instead, it had only one branch, looking from afar like the top half of the character "cao" (grass). This was because it only had one horn, the other having been broken off.

This was not the Black Dragon himself; it couldn't be. But from it, Miaozhantian indeed felt the pressure unique to a powerful dragon.

Just a moment ago, he had also thought, was this the dragon might left by the Black Dragon in Qianhuan's sea of consciousness? However, that was wrong.

The pressure of the Black Dragon, which was closest to the Heavenly Dao, could not be forgotten once faced.

Although this dragon was fierce, it was definitely not the Black Dragon.

When this gray dragon stretched its whole body, Miaozhantian discovered that it was also missing its left hind leg, its big mouth was missing its upper left fang, its scales were damaged in many places, the dragon body had several large holes, and even the tip of its tail was gone.

It certainly wouldn't bleed, but anyone could see that this dragon had experienced successive fierce battles and was covered in battle damage.

But even so, it was still fierce and swift, its dragon might very powerful.

"Dare to run wild in front of the Divine Dragon?" Jiaotu laughed loudly and also jumped down from the city wall to challenge Miaozhantian again.

Just now, the two Great Heavenly Demons were two-on-one, and it really couldn't take it. Now the gray dragon had split off Miaoyuntian, greatly reducing Qianhuan's combat pressure.

He couldn't just rely on the gray dragon to exert great effort. He and Miaozhantian were both remnants of defeat, so they could still fight.

Miaozhantian looked at Jiaotu's grinning face and remembered the vast ocean outside the city. This Panlongcheng was clearly an isolated city in the sea, with white waves crashing all around, as if wishing to swallow it.

With his experience and insight, he remembered that Qianhuan loved and was best at plotting against others and borrowing strength to strike, so he understood in a flash:

"You want to refine this Panlongcheng? You want to use me?"

These two sentences didn't quite match, and others would scratch their heads upon hearing them, but He Lingchuan before the Haoyuan Golden Mirror understood immediately.

Miaozhantian's view was the same as his; the Panlongcheng in Qianhuan's sea of consciousness represented something it had been unable to refine to this day.

Something that was both difficult to refine and related to Panlongcheng—

The only thing He Lingchuan could think of was the Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl!

Qianhuan had obtained this pearl more than 150 years ago, then handed it to the Yao Nation's Red Dust to refine, and sixty years ago, it had taken it back to the Inverted Sea to retreat and contemplate...

It had been sixty years; looking at it this way, it hadn't fully refined the Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl yet? That's right, if it had succeeded long ago, why would it have needed to remain in closed-door meditation until yesterday?

The Panlong Wasteland had already turned into an ocean, indicating that Qianhuan had already conquered seven or eight tenths of the Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl; while the isolated city in the sea in the mirror represented the part of the Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl that had not yet been fully refined.

Then—He Lingchuan carefully examined the gray dragon on the wall; what did it represent?

Qianhuan directly called it "Divine Dragon," and from ancient times to the present, there was only one being in the world qualified to receive such a title.

But He Lingchuan also knew that this dragon was not the Dragon God.

Since Qianhuan had said so, this gray dragon might indeed have some connection with the true Black Dragon God.

It was also reasonable; Qianhuan, as an ancient True Immortal, had such insight and state of mind; those who could block its prying outside the door were few and far between since ancient times.

This pearl was likely obtained from Panlongcheng, and Panlongcheng had always had an unclear relationship with the Black Dragon mark and the Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl.

And the moment the gray dragon appeared in the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, the Clanging Dragon Battle Armor suddenly appeared, automatically dressing He Lingchuan.

Everyone else was startled. Wansai Feng and others pressed their hands on their weapons, thinking danger had descended nearby.

He Lingchuan raised his hand to stop them: "No matter, put them away."

He could feel the fighting spirit surging from the Clanging Dragon Battle Armor; it was eager to try against the gray dragon in the mirror.

Just then, when the gray dragon responded to Miaozhantian's fierce strike, its midsection suddenly became transparent. Miaozhantian's saber swept across its body like cutting into empty smoke, light and weightless.

This was truly unfair; both the True Immortal and the Heavenly Demon could only use soul power attacks, yet this gray dragon could easily use its own innate talents! From this point, one knew it was truly not a living thing.

Facing the grinding of True Immortal Qianhuan, it could persist in the isolated city for sixty years; it also had some real skills.

"Shadow Dragon." He Lingchuan murmured, "It's actually a Shadow Dragon?"

The Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl was the Shadow Dragon's dragon pearl. This evil dragon had once wreaked havoc on the world, was finally killed by the Black Dragon God, and the dragon pearl was taken out and refined into the Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl.

But after Zhong Shengguang obtained this pearl, he threw it to the Great Fang Hu to refine, and personally said that the trace of Shadow Dragon's baleful aura inside the Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl had already been eliminated by the Chaos, with no residue left.

If the Panlongcheng in the sea of consciousness represented the part Qianhuan could not refine, what was going on with this Shadow Dragon?

Why would it appear on the city wall of Panlongcheng?

Yet, no matter what, it had become the final obstacle preventing Qianhuan from refining the Great Expansion Heavenly Bead.

He Lingchuan stared at the Shadow Dragon in the mirror, his thoughts racing, and suddenly murmured: "So that's it, no wonder!"

No wonder when he entered the Haoyuan Golden Mirror earlier, he saw such a scene! The Shadow Dragon on the high wall of Panlongcheng, the Chaos in the Blessing Pond of the Mitian Temple, the eager Clanging Dragon Battle Armor...

The Shadow Dragon, True Immortal, and Great Heavenly Demon in fierce battle.

The Great Fang Hu lurking in the dark.

A new plan formed in He Lingchuan's mind like lightning!

He wanted to represent the power of the Great Fang Hu and be the mastermind once more!...

Miaozhantian in the mirror said to the gray dragon: "Why attack us! He is the enemy, bent on refining you!"

The gray dragon turned a deaf ear.

"It won't listen to you at all; who told you to attack it first?" Qianhuan laughed loudly, "The gray dragon is the guardian spirit of this isolated city; if you attack the city wall, it will hunt you down until you die!"

When it first encountered this gray dragon, it was also given a big fright.

It turned out this thing was still here; no wonder the forces that handled this pearl, including several small countries and Panlongcheng, all had miserable ends.

Later, it ground with this gray dragon for decades and knew deeply that it was fine to wander around the city normally, and the gray dragon would never show itself; but once the city was attacked, the gray dragon would rise up and counterattack!

Fortunately, this sea of consciousness was Qianhuan's territory, and it could enter and exit freely. Every time it went out and came back, the gray dragon seemed not to recognize it.

But Miaozhantian didn't have this privilege; hehe, since he had entered its sea of consciousness, don't even think about getting out!

While Qianhuan was speaking, the gray dragon had already slammed Miaoyuntian a few times, and seeing she hadn't been smashed to death, it changed its strategy and directly stuffed her into the wall! ===== CHAPTER 1839 =====
