Chapter 3115: Dragon Clan Tomb
Ye Liuyun confirmed it was safe, then released Long Nv, Lei Ming and the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, and they all hurried toward the Dragon Clan Tomb, absorbing the Demon Qi here as they went.
In the valley where the Mo Jiao Clan resides, the surrounding mountain ranges contain Magic Crystal mineral veins; Ye Liuyun did not act for the time being, waiting to mine those Magic Crystals after they emerged.
The Demon Qi here can still intimidate the surrounding ferocious beasts. The aura of the Magic Flood Dragon remains, and the other beasts currently do not dare to approach.
They crossed the valley and reached the exit on the other side. Beyond the valley lay the Dragon Clan Tomb, where the Demon Qi was noticeably weaker. The dragon aura emanating from the Dragon Clan Tomb blocked the Demon Qi outside.
"What a rich dragon aura!" Long Nv couldn't help exclaiming.
"With such a strong dragon aura, there can't be a living true dragon inside, can there?" Lei Ming asked.
Ye Liuyun sensed it and also felt that the dragon aura here truly resembled that of the Dragon Clan. He had also entered the Dragon Clan burial ground, and that aura is definitely different from that of living dragons.
Thus Lei Ming's inadvertent remark also reminded Ye Liuyun.
"It might actually be possible! You all be careful!"
Ye Liuyun instructed them and led them onward. Ahead was a shielding Formation that blocked the view inside the tomb, preventing him from seeing the interior.
However, the Formation seemed ancient; his Golden Pupil already spotted several cracked fissures, and the dragon aura was emanating from those cracks.
Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil, searching for a weak point in the Formation, preparing to blast it with Technique. But Long Nv approached the Formation to test it, and actually thrust her hand into it.
Moreover, as soon as she extended her hand, the Formation immediately opened a large gap centered on her arm, large enough for several of them to enter.
Ye Liuyun and the others were startled. Long Nv quickly withdrew her hand, and the Formation swiftly closed again.
"Did you see what's inside?" Ye Liuyun asked the Second Clone.
The Second Clone had just been behind Long Nv and caught a glimpse of the scene.
"It's the Dragon Clan burial ground, but there's a Formation covering the center. No living dragon seen."
Ye Liuyun let Lei Ming try as well, and Lei Ming reached out
and was immediately repelled by the Formation.
"It seems only a true dragon can enter this Formation!" Ye Liuyun also reached that conclusion.
"Let's go in and see!"
Then Ye Liuyun had everyone prepare, letting Long Nv extend her hand again to open the Formation; once opened, Kuailei and the Second Clone rushed in first as sentries, followed by Lei Ming, the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, and Ye Liuyun, after which Long Nv also entered.
As soon as Long Nv entered, the Formation sealed again.
Ye Liuyun and the others, upon entering, released their Golden Pupil and Divine Sense, scanning the surroundings.
What they saw: the ground was buried with true dragon corpses, roughly five hundred in total. Above each true dragon corpse was a burial bundle. However, a few bundles at the edges were empty underneath, likely because other ferocious beasts broke through the Formation from below and stole the dragon bodies.
Each true dragon corpse was relatively intact, and within its core alchemy each still contained a Dragon Soul!
It appears these dragons died naturally, not killed by anyone. Before death they sealed their Soul within their dragon pearl.
If these Dragon Souls were to emerge and attack them, they'd all be doomed.
Therefore Ye Liuyun was very tense, warning others not to make loud noises, not to emit aura, lest they disturb the Dragon Souls here, and also to be ready to be pulled into the Space World at any moment.
In the middle of the burial ground, there was another Formation, unknown what it isolates. Yet the burial bundles surrounding that Formation had no dragon bodies inside.
"This is the true aura of the Dragon Clan burial ground. But there is indeed a living dragon aura here!" Lei Ming sniffed carefully and told the group.
Long Nv stared at the central Formation, her black pupils flickering. After watching for a while she told the group: "I see twenty-seven living true dragons inside."
"Huh?" Lei Ming was startled by Long Nv's words and shouted.
Ye Liuyun glared at her; she then covered her mouth with her hand.
"You can see through that Formation?" Ye Liuyun hadn't expected Long Nv could see through it.
Long Nv explained: "With the Formation blocking, I still couldn't see their true forms. My black pupils can perceive energy; I saw dragon-shaped energy inside, so I think they are living true dragons."
"Could it be dragon-shaped energy formed from spiritual aura?" Ye Liuyun also thought that having living dragons here seemed unlikely. If there were living dragons, the Mo Jiao Clan and the local beasts would already know.
Long Nv shook her head, not entirely certain, and said: "Their various parts have different energy densities and masses. Such subtle differences in energy states are hard to produce with spiritual aura."
"Their core alchemy, realms are roughly around the 178th level. Only the largest one has a higher dragon realm; I estimate it may exceed the First Realm, but not by much—perhaps the First Realm of Taixu. Yet its life energy is very weak."
Ye Liuyun, hearing this, tended to believe Long Nv's observation. However, there is a First Realm of Taixu true dragon inside; if they fight and disturb the Dragon Souls outside, they won't be able to stop it.
He examined the Formation closely with his Golden Pupil, finding that the inner Formation resembled the outer one, only better preserved with fewer cracks.
Long Nv suddenly told the group: "The strongest dragon has taken human form and is walking toward us."
At that moment, an old man also appeared within the Formation, waved at them, then immediately slipped back into the Formation, as if fearing something.
This scene shocked everyone, confirming that a living dragon truly existed within the Formation.
"Is it that? The dragon that took human form?" Ye Liuyun asked Long Nv for confirmation.
"Yes." Long Nv also confirmed to Ye Liuyun.
"It is indeed a Taixu realm, but not very strong—probably just the First Realm of Taixu. Its vitality is weak, and its Soul is indeed dragon-shaped," Ye Liuyun also told the group. Biquku
"He seems to be afraid of something!" Lei Ming warned Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun nodded, scanning the surrounding burial bundles.
"He's afraid of the Dragon Souls here. Let's go; staying here does no good, we must talk to them first. Keep your aura restrained, and don't make a sound!"
Ye Liuyun reminded the group, especially glancing at Lei Ming. After Lei Ming nodded in confirmation, he led everyone forward.
Fortunately, they all have dragon aura within them, allowing them to resist the dragon might here. This stretch they encountered no danger and smoothly arrived before the Formation.
Fortunately, they all have dragon Qi in their bodies and can still withstand the dragon's might here. Along this road they also encountered no danger, and smoothly arrived before the Formation.
