Chapter 135: The Key to the Ultimate Secret Realm! The Secrets of the Primordial World!

"Senior Qinglong, I will not forget." Luo Fu nodded. "If the Dragon Clan ever faces crisis, I will spare no effort."

"Good, good…" accompanied by Qinglong's booming laughter.

His illusory form, with a loud bang, dissolved into shimmering light that splashed and vanished in all directions.

Qinglong's true spirit slowly merged into the Primordial World.

Generally, as a Saint-level powerhouse, if only the body is destroyed, one can still recover using just the soul.

But Qinglong, as a Saint, had not only his body shattered in that battle—his soul was too.

Had it not been for the Three Pure Ones' protection, Qinglong would have died then.

Yet under the Three Pure Ones' power and Qinglong's own obsession, this Dragon Clan Saint elder was born.

Qinglong was life, yet not life.

It was more an obsession to protect the Dragon Clan.

Now that this obsession vanished, Qinglong's essence naturally vanished too, becoming part of the Primordial World.

After all, Qinglong's essence had already been severely wounded.

Of course, had Qinglong not bestowed all his blood essence upon Luo Fu, under certain circumstances, he might have survived.

But such a way of living had never crossed Qinglong's mind—he did not wish to live like that.

Better to burn out his remaining light than to cling to a dying breath; at least he owed nothing to the Dragon Clan.

Of course, this obsession of Qinglong's may also be why he remained on Mount Kunlun and survived so long.

Otherwise, Saint Tongtian would never have aided Qinglong, nor built this Mount Yunlong to prolong his life.

If history had followed its course.

Perhaps at some future time, Saint Tongtian would have let Fuxi enter Mount Yunlong and become the Saint to receive Qinglong's legacy.

This may not have been solely Saint Tongtian's doing—there may also have been the involvement of Fuxi's sister, Saint Nüwa.

But these matters had no bearing whatsoever on Luo Fu now.

With his astonishing talent, he had preemptively seized it.

Luo Fu could only apologize to the future Fuxi, but Fuxi had the mighty Saint Nüwa as his backer; even without the Dragon Clan, Saint Nüwa could surely make up for it.

"Senior Qinglong, thank you." Luo Fu bowed deeply toward the place where Qinglong had vanished.

This Dragon Clan Saint had given him his all without reservation—even if part of it was for the Dragon Clan.

But to Luo Fu, this was perfectly understandable.

After all, no one would be kind to another without reason.

Just as Saint Tongtian favored Luo Fu—it was because Luo Fu's talent led him to take this disciple.

"But…" Luo Fu scanned the surroundings, looking at the silent cave, somewhat exasperated. "Senior Qinglong, you forgot to take me out of here, didn't you?"

Previously, Qinglong had used his own power to bring Luo Fu here.

Now that Qinglong was dead, leaving could only be done by Luo Fu himself.

For any other Jin Xian, this situation might be troublesome—but for Luo Fu, it was nothing.

He was still deep within Mount Yunlong and could fully rely on its arrays to return to his original cave.

"More than a year has passed. It's time to leave."

Luo Fu gazed around the empty cave and spoke slowly.

This year, while receiving the Dragon Clan's legacy, Luo Fu became the second person after the Primordial Dragon.

He forged his body to the peak of Jin Xian, and his own cultivation base rose to Mid Stage Jin Xian—just one step from the Late Stage realm.

Even without his body, Luo Fu's Qi refinement alone was sufficient to rank among the upper tier of Mount Kunlun's Saintly disciples.

Combined with his body, Luo Fu could easily suppress any Jin Xian powerhouse.

"But…"

Luo Fu's gaze turned to the dragon pearl floating in midair—the light upon it had weakened considerably from before.

This was because, during his second trial, he had consumed immense energy from it.

Otherwise, merely the first trial would not have affected the dragon pearl so severely.

"Is the dragon pearl the key to the Ultimate Secret Realm?" Luo Fu murmured.

After passing the trial second only to the Primordial Dragon, Luo Fu learned from this dragon pearl the final hidden truth.

The legacy he received was not the ultimate one.

Somewhere in the Primordial World, in a secret place, the Primordial Dragon had left his true legacy and power.

Only by reaching that place could one obtain the ultimate legacy.

"Ultimate legacy." Luo Fu smiled, gesturing toward the void—the dragon pearl became a streak of light and landed in his palm, then he stored it away.

As for this so-called ultimate legacy, Luo Fu had no interest for now.

After all, Luo Fu was not a Dragon—he was a true human.

Beneath the Myriad Spirits Suppressing the Realm array, the legacy he had received was already more than sufficient.

He had no need to seek the ultimate legacy.

Of course, for a Dragon, the allure of this ultimate legacy would be immense.

But to obtain it, the trials were extremely strict; from Qinglong, Luo Fu learned he was the second person after the Primordial Dragon.

So many Dragons had come before, yet only two succeeded—enough to show how difficult the trial was.

But was this ultimate legacy truly good?

Was there some danger hidden within?

No one knew.

After obtaining his legacy, perhaps the Primordial Dragon never found the location of the ultimate legacy—or perhaps he never even considered it.

"The ultimate inheritance — that will depend on the opportunity that comes later." Luo Fu gave a light laugh.

Once his strength truly reached a certain level, even if the so-called ultimate inheritance carried danger, he would not be afraid.

"Buzz, buzz…"

He took the dragon pearl, and streams of light wove around Luo Fu on all sides.

In an instant, Luo Fu vanished, returning once more to his own cave abode on Mount Yunlong.

As Luo Fu was cultivating in closed-door training within his cave abode—

Deep within the Four Seas was one of the Primordial World's forbidden lands.

Ordinary beings simply could not survive in the depths of the Four Seas; even Jin Xian and Taiyi Jin Xian could meet with the possibility of perishing.

This was also a forbidden-land world that was slightly independent from the Primordial World.

And in the extreme depths of this forbidden land, there was an independent world.

Looking into that world—

One could see a colossal dragon, several thousand zhang long, coiled above this stretch of land, with some smaller colossal dragons also coiling around it.

These terrifying-looking colossal dragons appeared exactly like stone carvings.

Suddenly.

The largest colossal dragon statue at the very front suddenly trembled slightly; its stone-turned eyes shattered in an instant, revealing the true eyes within.

This was not a statue, but a true colossal dragon.

This largest colossal dragon was naturally the Ancestral Dragon, who guarded the Four Seas.

The failure of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin's bid for dominance back then had forced him to bring a portion of the dragon race to guard the Four Seas, so as to repay the karmic merit-debt the dragon race had incurred against the Primordial heavens and earth.

Otherwise, the dragon race might have faced extinction.

For the continuation of the dragon race, the Ancestral Dragon had no choice but to do so.

Precisely because the dragon race had remained here all this while, over the long passage of eons their bodies had taken on stone, making them appear like stone carvings.

This was enough to show that the time the Ancestral Dragon and the others had spent guarding this place was also an astronomical figure.

Generally speaking, the Ancestral Dragon, who had fallen into slumber, should not have been able to wake — yet now he had been startled awake.

"This is…" The Ancestral Dragon's eyes shifted slightly; a streak of light flashed before him — it was an enormous dragon pearl.

Similar to the dragon pearl in the Azure Dragon's hand, it too was a pearl of inheritance.

Back then, the dragon race's pearls of inheritance were not limited to just one.

At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon could see the dragon pearl in his own hand flashing with astonishing light, with some kind of information flowing across its surface.
