Chapter 61 The Dragon Appears
Tianmu Mountain
The woman in the fiery red dress was furious: "Hey Zhuge Shen! Is your divination any good at all?! I've been following you around for days, digging and digging every day, and you're treating me like a donkey! We haven't even seen a shadow of the dragon yet!"
The young Taoist boy, Zhuge Shen, blushed and said, "What do you know! This isn't a matter of celestial divination! A true dragon can grow large or small, rise or hide. Even a remnant spirit possesses some power. If it deliberately hides, how could I possibly find it so precisely? This Fallen Dragon Ridge is formed from the remains of a true dragon from back then. How can I pinpoint the location of the remnant spirit if I don't dig around to find its spiritual cave? If you don't trust me, then you can leave! I can find it myself! Hmph!"
The woman in the red dress was rebuked by the young Taoist boy, and she wished she could punch him in the face.
Her once adorable face now looks utterly repulsive.
However, she was from the Chaoyang Sect and mainly cultivated the Great Sun True Method. She was completely ignorant of any divination of heavenly secrets. If she really wanted to find the remnant of the True Dragon, she really had to rely on Zhuge Shen.
This was something her master had specifically instructed her to do before she left.
"How much longer will it take to find any trace of the remnant of that true dragon?"
Seeing that Xue Hongshang's temper had softened, the young Taoist priest immediately trembled.
He said with an annoyed look, "How would I know! I only calculated that this should be the place where the Dragon Ball fell. If there are any remnants of the Dragon Soul in the world, they are most likely in this place."
Seeing that the young Taoist was still throwing a tantrum, Xue Hongshang gritted her teeth again, but there was nothing she could do; she still had to rely on this young Taoist for the time being.
He could only ask in a soft voice, "The Sun family said this is the original ancestral land of the Chen family, and they have lived here for over two hundred years. If there really is a remnant soul of a true dragon, how could they have been completely unaware?"
"How would I know! Stop getting in the way! People from other sects have already arrived in Lingzhou City. If we don't hurry up and search, they'll all come and snatch it!"
After uttering these words, the young Taoist turned and flew towards the summit of Tianmu Mountain, intending to survey the terrain from above.
Xue Hongshang was rebuked again, and she almost couldn't breathe properly.
With a furious wave of his hand, a spell slammed into the Spirit Origin Lake in the next instant.
Just as Xue Hongshang, who had just felt her frustration subside, was about to turn around, a deafening dragon roar resounded from the bottom of the Spirit Lake throughout the entire Falling Dragon Ridge.
Then a long, winding body suddenly broke through the water's surface, and a ferocious dragon head emerged from the water, seemingly wanting to see who had just thrown the firecracker.
A pair of golden beast eyes stared intently at Xue Hongshang, who had just bombarded Lingyuan Lake.
Upon hearing the dragon's roar, Xue Hongshang felt as if her once-hot blood had been plunged into ice water, instantly chilling her from head to toe.
Staring blankly at the winding figure, he almost cried out, "A dragon! A true dragon still exists in this world?"
The young Taoist boy who had just been flying was so shocked by the earth-shattering dragon roar that he fell headfirst into the ground.
The young Taoist was both startled and panicked, and he struggled to pull his head out of the ground.
While spitting out mud and sand, it looked up in terror at the enormous thing above its head.
However, as a true disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, although he was frightened, he did not completely lose his composure.
He summoned the Heavenly Secrets Disc to conceal his aura while carefully moving outwards.
The three members of the Daoist sect, who had already flown over a hundred miles to pursue Chen Chunan, were startled upon hearing the dragon's roar.
Without hesitation, they abandoned their pursuit of Chen Chunan and flew towards the source of the dragon's roar.
Although killing Chen Chunan was Master's order, since Zongshi was able to track him down, there was no need to rush.
The real dragon is the most important thing. If I were to obtain a celestial object tainted with the aura of a real dragon, I might be able to aspire to the Nascent Soul realm.
However, it wasn't just them, who were in Zhuilong Ridge, who were heading towards Tianmu Mountain.
The dragon's roar traveled extremely far, and even Chen Chunan heard it.
Chen Chunan, who was waiting on the mountaintop for the enemy to arrive, heard the dragon's roar and instantly knew that the group of cultivators from the Central Region had probably found Tianmu Mountain.
The disappearance of that faint, elusive gaze was probably also related to the dragon's roar.
Just as he was wondering whether he should go and see for himself, more than ten streaks of light flashed past him.
Judging from their aura, they are all Golden Core cultivators!
Chen Chunan thought for a moment and decided to send the three women back to the market first, and then he would go and join in the fun. Since the Daoist sect members were also there, he wouldn't mind killing again.
Having made up his mind, Chen Chunan floated down from the mountaintop and brought out the three women.
The most active one, Red Thread, immediately asked curiously, "Brother, did you just hear that strange sound? I've never heard that sound before!"
"That must be the sound of a dragon's roar, but it probably isn't a real dragon."
"A dragon's roar? So dragons really do still exist in this world!"
Chen Yunling had a keen ear; even inside the cave, she could tell that the sound seemed to be coming from the direction of Falling Dragon Ridge.
"Master, this dragon's roar seems to be coming from Fallen Dragon Ridge."
Now that the dragon has been born, Chen Chunan recounted the story of the shadowy figure at Lingyuan Lake.
"This dragon is probably not a real dragon. It's likely some kind of aquatic creature that obtained the essence of a real dragon and transformed into a jiaolong. I saw it in Lingyuan Lake before."
"Lingyuan Lake? Isn't that where our family is located?"
Chen Yunling and Chen Hongxian looked shocked.
Chen Chunan affirmed, "When I first cultivated into a Yin God, I saw it swimming at the bottom of the lake during my first journey. However, it should have never been involved in worldly affairs and does not eat people, otherwise we would have never seen it before. This time, it was probably brought out by those people from the Central Region who came specifically to find it."
What he didn't say was that the dragon roars that the Central Region was looking for actually came from his two sword pellets.
This creature, whether it was a dragon or some other wild dragon, completely saved the day.
Chen Chunan could only apologize in his heart.
He has not yet been able to nurture the sacred embryo in the Mysterious Pearl and achieve the realm of Refining Qi into Spirit. He is no match for those old monsters who have reached the Spirit Transformation stage.
"Is Master also going to take a look?"
Chen Yunling was cautious every day at Liu's house, and although she was young, she had developed a keen ability to read people's expressions and moods.
Seeing Chen Chunan frequently looking towards Tianmu Mountain, one could tell that his master definitely wanted to go and take a look.
"Yes, I plan to go and see. There were already people spying on us today. If I go to find your father, it will only put them in danger. I need to get rid of the spy first before I can go and pick you up."
Chen Yunling felt somewhat sad because she could not see her father soon.
But knowing that his master was right, he nodded obediently.
Chen Chunan then led the three of them to fly towards Lingzhou Market again.
...
Tianmu Mountain
After being targeted by the dragon head, Xue Hongshang became extremely tense.
She never imagined that searching for the remnant of the dragon soul would lead her to a living dragon.
For tens of thousands of years, no true dragons have appeared in this world; only some dragon-like creatures such as hui, chi, and jiao exist.
However, Xue Hongshang, the dragon, had also seen it before. Her Chaoyang Sect was a subordinate sect of the Chaotian Palace overseas, and the Chaotian Palace kept a three-thousand-year-old dragon as a guardian spirit beast.
That old dragon was far less impressive than this one.
