Chapter 897: True Dragon’s Inheritance
At night, Jiang Hao and his companions sat in a grove.
The grove was the resting place for those who were on patrol duties. Everyone kept their distance but were vigilant. A barrier was set up around the area to prevent people from getting in.
“If you leave, you won’t be able to come back here for a while,” Jiang Hao said.
He laid down a formation in front of everyone.
On the surface, it appeared to be an ordinary formation, but other forces were acting as its base.
It might not withstand attacks from strong individuals, but it was enough to resist Foundation Building cultivators.
After mentioning that they would cultivate, Jiang Hao used his power to cover the surroundings with power to prevent people from prying.
Zheng Shijiu remained alert, so Jiang Hao didn’t need to worry too much.
Lin MO and the others looked at Jiang Hao. They still couldn’t accept him as a leader wholeheartedly.
Lin Zhi listened to everything Jiang Hao said, but he couldn’t make Lin MO and Zhao Qingxue follow him.
“This is for you.” Lin MO handed over some spirit herbs he had obtained during the patrol to Lin Zhi.
“I don’t need this much,” Lin Zhi said.
In front of them, he was still the weakest.
“Take it. You need it more than we do,” Zhao Qingxue said.
After hesitating, she said, “Don’t think too much about it. After all, we are friends from the same village. We don’t know what will happen in the future, but for now, I hope you can live a better life.”
Lin Zhi lowered his head and accepted the things.
“We are already at the Foundation Building Realm, and we might be able to reach the Golden Core Realm soon. We can live for hundreds of years. You, at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, won’t last much longer.”
Lin MO gave him more things.
He looked somewhat guilty.
If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t have been in danger in the first place. They wouldn’t have had to face humiliation.
He was a genius who should have led people to success, not to humiliation.
So, Lin MO felt guilty.
He didn’t want to cause trouble for others, especially for those who were in a lower cultivation realm than him.
It made him feel uneasy.
Lin Zhi accepted the things and silently kept note of them. “What should we do next?” Zhao Qingxue asked.
“We should follow Senior Brother Jiang for now,” Lin MO said.
He wanted to see why people admired Senior Brother Jiang so much.
Zhao Qingxue had no particular opinion of him. She thought he was just an ordinary sect disciple with a slightly higher cultivation realm than them.
Compared to some other seniors, he didn’t seem to differ much. The ordinary disciples were not as good as the ordinary inner sect disciples from the White Moon Lake. There was a difference in status and position. After all, the White Moon Lake was governed by the Acting Sect Master herself.
At midnight, Jiang Hao entered the stone tablet.
He reviewed everything he had learned from the last gathering and found nothing special.
He wanted to see if the others had found anything else, especially about the Dragon’s Nest and the situation in the South.
However, Gui was not in the South, so there might be less information from there.
Jiang Hao entered the public space and found that Zhang was also there.
Others were surprised, but Jiang Hao remained indifferent.
Everyone knew that Zhang was going through the inner demon’s trial to become an immortal. It seemed she had succeeded.
At that moment, her aura was restrained. It didn’t fluctuate like before.
Senior Dan Yuan was already there. They sat cross-legged and waited for the gathering to begin.
“Congratulations, Friend Zhang,” Senior Dan Yuan said.
Zhang nodded. “It’s all thanks to you, Senior.”
Dan Yuan didn’t say much. “Do any of you have any cultivation issues?” Everyone shook their heads.
They were either waiting for opportunities or had just advanced. They didn’t have any problems with their cultivation.
Dan Yuan nodded. “Do you have any information regarding Old Man Corpse
Sea?”
“He might be in the South,” Xing said.
Gui was speechless.
She was still thinking of returning to the South.
“South?” Dan Yuan nodded. “I heard that something happened overseas, and
the Abyssal Sea is flowing backward.”
Liu nodded. “It is said to be related to the Dragon Clan, but from the Twelve Heavenly Kings’ perspective, it seems like an opportunity to become an immortal has appeared.”
“If you have more information, please tell me,” Dan Yuan said.
Apart from that, Senior Dan Yuan didn’t say much else.
Jiang Hao was surprised by Xing’s words. ‘How does he know that Old Man
Corpse Sea was in the South? Is he that well-informed, or did he leave the East?’
Old Man Corpse Sea didn’t seem dangerous, and his presence in the South wasn’t a very big concern.
The real concern was The End of All Things. They were always after terrifying objects and had almost succeeded in unearthing multiple dangerous things.
It made people exhausted.
After that, the trading began.
Zhang said, “The person you wanted me to protect has been secured. He is now within the academy’s range. Nothing should go wrong.”
Jiang Hao nodded and then looked at Gui.
“I have already sent the thing out. Zhang should receive it in the next few days,” Gui said.
That was the Ancient And Modern Book. Keeping the book to herself would undoubtedly invite more trouble. It was safer to let it go. “Did you visit the grave?” Zhang asked Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao nodded.
“What do you need in exchange?” Zhang asked.
The reward wasn’t discussed before because it was uncertain whether she would succeed.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Hao decided to postpone the reward for a while. The task had been easy, so the reward couldn’t be that big either.
Zhang didn’t have any objections to it.
Xing and Jiang Hao’s task required Gui, so it couldn’t be completed right away. That left only the trade between Liu and Gui.
They looked at Gui. They wanted to know what she had gained from her trip to the Dragon’s Nest.
“I have already obtained the book,” said Gui and looked at Liu. “I sent it out through a special channel, and I haven’t read its contents.”
“Are there dragons beneath the Dragon’s Nest?” Liu asked with curiosity.
She got her reward too.
The information she received about the Heavenly Spirit Tribe was very detailed.
“The Dragon’s Nest is not a place for humans to go.” Gui sighed. “I thought that with enough luck, it would be much safer to enter. However, I was wrong. After entering, the residual True Dragon’s aura from the Dragon Clan did not welcome us. Finding the book was relatively easy, but problems arose when we tried to enter the center of the Dragon’s Nest. Our people accidentally triggered the Dragon Clan’s inheritance, and they were absorbed by it. The Dragon Clan didn’t want the inheritance to fall into the hands of non-dragons, so the remaining power of the True Dragon began to attack us. Although I found some things inside, it was still very dangerous.”
“Where is the Dragon’s Nest?” Zhang asked.
She had recently encountered the phantom of the Dragon Clan as well.
“At the Jianxin Cliff,” Liu said.
Zhang was surprised.
There was a possibility that Gui was among one of the people who received the blazing luck.
She didn’t think much about it and listened quietly.
As for the location of the Dragon’s Nest, she wasn’t interested in it.
That place didn’t welcome her.
“What did you discover?” Xing curiously asked Gui.
“I found something…” Gui said. “I found a page from the Sage’s Pages. It was possibly from a very long time ago. It had a record of an extremely dangerous creature in the world..”
