Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"This is... an Innate Dragon Embryo?"

Zhao Ziyue's voice trembled slightly: "Lao Xu, once this thing hatches, it will be born at the Demon God Realm.

Even during the Ancient Period, when the Dragon Race was at its most glorious, only a few Innate Dragon Embryos ever appeared.

If the Dragon Race outside finds out about this thing, they'll probably go crazy."

Xu Zhangqing turned the Innate Dragon Embryo over and saw a line of characters on the back of the heart.

The calligraphy was extremely vigorous and ancient, each stroke looking as if it had been carved.

"If this dragon is born, it shall be named Huanzhu!"

It looked as if someone had deliberately placed it here.

Either waiting for it to hatch.

Or waiting for a destined person.

Of course, Xu Zhangqing felt it was the latter.

In other words, he himself was the destined person.

He thought for a moment, then put the Innate Dragon Embryo away.

The value of this thing could no longer be measured by spirit stones or treasures.

Immediately after, the two searched around the mineral vein again.

Zhao Ziyue found a nest of Dragon Soul Marrow on the other side of the bone layer.

This is a Spiritual Treasure one grade higher than Dragon Soul Crystal, which only occasionally condenses in the central part of the Purple Gold Crystal Layer.

A piece the size of a thumb can make a cultivator's Divine Sense strength leap a whole Cultivation Tier.

He collected seven or eight pieces in a row, grinning from ear to ear.

Xu Zhangqing, meanwhile, dug up over a dozen Dragon Horn Bamboo Shoots at the very edge of the mineral vein.

Similar in shape to Dragon Bone Bamboo Shoots, but completely different in material.

This is formed from the keratin of dragon horns that naturally fell off from the root; ground into powder it can refine Dragon Breath Pills, and has an extremely great tonic effect for cultivators possessing Dragon Race bloodline.

Therefore, this thing was perfect to leave for Linglong.

Half an hour later, the two had cleanly collected all the high-quality Dragon Soul Crystals and associated minerals they could find.

Zhao Ziyue was satisfied, and just about to propose returning when a vibration suddenly came from underfoot.

The vibration didn't come from the depths of the mineral vein, but from the direction of the canyon.

The amplitude wasn't large, but the frequency was extremely high.

Like some huge thing rolling at the bottom of the canyon, emitting a dull rumbling sound.

Zhao Ziyue's face changed instantly: "Bad, something's happened in the canyon."

The two swam toward the crevice entrance without prior agreement.

When they returned to the canyon edge, the scene before them made Zhao Ziyue suck in a cold breath.

In the center of the canyon, all the dragon souls stopped patrolling.

They no longer formed ranks, but crazily spiraled in chaotic disorder, emitting dragon chants that were sharp and miserable.

Countless dragon souls surrounded a huge vortex; beneath the water at the center of the vortex, something was arching upward.

Dragon bones collapsed, dragon horns that had stood for who knows how many tens of thousands of years snapped in large patches, bone fragments exploded in the water, forming a vast gray turbid current.

Then, a dragon head broke out from the bottom of the water.

Not a dragon soul.

Not a dragon bone.

Not an afterimage.

But a complete dragon head!

Dragon horns pointed straight at the sky, dragon whiskers drifting slowly in the water.

Every dragon scale was the size of a tabletop, the whole body dark gold.

The edges of the scales glowed with a dark red halo.

The moment the massive dragon head emerged, the water flow within a radius of several hundred zhang was all stirred up, forming a huge underwater vortex.

The edge of the vortex flung out countless streams of water, the aroused tremors making the entire sea area tremble.

The next second, that dragon head opened its eyes.

A pair of dragon pupils, dark gold in color, with vertical pupils.

It rolled its eyeballs, its gaze sweeping over the dragon souls crazily spiraling in the canyon, sweeping over the collapsed dragon bones and snapped dragon horns, finally landing on the two people at the canyon edge.

Xu Zhangqing found it unbelievable: "There's still a True Dragon alive?"

Zhao Ziyue cried out in alarm: "Lao Xu, run!"

He had stayed in Gui Xu for so many years; his sense of danger was keener than anyone's.

In a place like the Gui Xu Dragon Tomb, what does a living True Dragon mean?

However, Xu Zhangqing didn't move at all.

He raised his head to look at that dragon head, so massive it was suffocating.

In the dark gold pupils there was no reason, no emotion, only pure anger.

The next second, the dragon's mouth opened a crack.

Pitch-black light, like ink, spread out in the water.

The surrounding dragon souls, upon touching the black light, let out miserable screams.

Xu Changqing saw this and flipped his palm; the Creation Return to Ruins Seal appeared once more.

Unlike the previous two times, this time he did not let the green light envelop his side.

Instead, he poured Yuan Li into the seal body, and the green dragon-shaped tree sprout patterns suddenly grew.

A streak of green light, with himself as the center, spread out in all directions.

That black light stirred up by the dragon head melted rapidly, as if it had met its nemesis.

The green light directly slammed into the dragon head's lower jaw; that dragon head, larger than a mountain, jerked upward sharply, and a trace of shock flashed in its dragon pupils.

Soon, the Creation Return to Ruins Seal's green light enveloped the entire canyon.

Those frantically spiraling dragon souls all quieted down in the instant the green light shone upon them.

The broken dragon horns no longer collapsed; the surging water flow recovered calm under the green light's suppression.

Even that dragon head, after a brief struggle, was pressed down bit by bit.

It was unwilling.

The rage in its eyes still burned.

Its dragon whiskers thrashed violently in the water.

Dragon scales stood up piece by piece and closed again, emitting a sound like metal friction.

But its body, under the green light's suppression, could not advance even an inch.

Gui Xu's Authority is Gui Xu's Heaven.

The holder of this seal is Gui Xu's Will.

No matter how strong it is, it is still a living being of Gui Xu.

Before Gui Xu's Will, there is no room for any resistance.

The dragon head slowly sank back down; those dark golden dragon pupils stared fixedly at the Creation Return to Ruins Seal in Xu Changqing's hand, the anger in its gaze gradually turning to wariness, and finally into something indescribable.

Zhao Ziyue let out a breath: "That was close; I almost used the Diao Yu Zhe's Authority to teleport back near the Dragon Palace."

Xu Changqing turned his head and glanced at him, the corner of his mouth curving slightly: "Lao Zhao, I actually want to ask you a question."

Zhao Ziyue looked doubtful: "What?"

Xu Changqing said with disdain: "You're the Gui Xu Master's Agent, this session's Diao Yu Zhe, after all.

Outside, how imposing you are; Chaos Giant Beasts can't even lift their heads before you.

How come once you enter the Gui Xu Long Mu, you become cowardly instead?"

Zhao Ziyue's face flushed red at once, the veins on his neck bulging; he wanted to refute, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly several times before he explained: "What do you know? The dragons buried in this Gui Xu Long Mu — any single one pulled out is a Great Power-level existence.

Can this be called cowardly?

This is called caution!"

Xu Changqing didn't speak further, just watched him with a smile.

Zhao Ziyue was laughed at until he felt uncomfortable all over, and in embarrassed anger waved his hand: "Alright, alright, let's talk business.

That True Dragon just now, what do you think of it?

This Gui Xu Long Mu place, I've stayed here so many years, never seen a living dragon."

Xu Changqing withdrew his smile, fell silent for several breaths, then spoke: "It didn't come out early, didn't come out late, but chose to come out exactly when we excavated the mineral vein empty and took away the Innate Dragon Embryo.

Do you think this is a coincidence?"
