Chapter 430: Dragon
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Ling Xu was honestly quite surprised by Bei Feng’s strength. Although he had seen Bei Feng using Soaring Rainbow to kill the Hollow Ghost Face Spider before, the latter’s performance this time was probably even better than his!

In other words, Bei Feng had hidden his skills earlier. Or perhaps, the Hollow Ghost Face Spider was not powerful enough to reveal his strength.

‘The number of years I’ve been cultivating has exceeded 300 years, but mental power is still the hardest aspect to train. The reason I’ve reached today’s level in mental power is because of the Kunlun Sect’s mental power training techniques that’d been passed down for years. So either this kid was born with powerful mental energy, or he has a huge legacy!’

Numerous thoughts flashed through Ling Xu’s head, but he only looked at Bei Feng deeply and did ask him anything.

If it was the first possibility, then it was useless to him. But if it was the latter, then nobody knew what kind of trump cards were hidden on Bei Feng’s body.

Most importantly, Ling Xu felt that in the current era, no matter what kind of legacy one obtained, it was only enough to raise a cultivator to the Controlled Dan realm.

Fortunately, Ling Xu did not know how horrifying Bei Feng’s “legacy” was. Otherwise, even if he had to risk his life, he would get rid of Bei Feng!

“The formation’s open now, we can go in. In there is the Dragon Imprisoning Ground!”

Yan Luo’s tone was filled with excitement. That was a dragon they were talking about!

Nodding lightly, Bei Feng and Ling Xu took the lead and walked at the front. Yan Luo was a weak support right now. The sealing formation was still active, and there wasn’t any place to put Yan Luo’s talents to use.

“Ta, ta!”

Beyond the entrance was a long winding staircase that extended for a long distance. The footsteps of the three reverberated through the huge space.

“Fellow Daoist, do you have ties with Mt Shu?” Ling Xu could not stop himself from asking.

Bei Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head. He had begun to think that this old fellow could really endure his curiosity. But in the end, only a few minutes had passed before he could not bear it any longer.

“I have no relations with Mt Shu. As for my current achievements, it’s just a fortuitous encounter.”

“I see.” Hearing Bei Feng’s answer, Ling Xu let loose a breath of relief, as though a burden had been shrugged off his heart.

“Does my strength have connections to Mt Shu?” Bei Feng asked with some curiosity.

Ling Xu chuckled in a self-deprecating manner before answering, “According to what I’ve learnt from the ancient records and the things depicted in them, the entire Mt Shu Sect had already left through the Qin Emperor Mausoleum 500 years ago. In the last few hundred years, no one had seen anybody from Mt Shu anymore. As for whether Fellow Daoist had ties with them, it was just a random thought of mine.”

Bei Feng fell silent and did not continue the conversation. This bit of information was equivalent to a large cookie that Ling Xu had drawn out for him. The only question was whether he could eat it.

According to the ancient records, the entire Mt Shu Sect had already departed through the Qin Emperor Mausoleum. That could be considered as a huge consolation in the hearts of Ling Xu and the rest. Who knew, perhaps the people from Mt Shu had already succeeded. Perhaps they would be successful too.

Numerous clear pearls the size of bowls were inlaid on the walls of the tunnel, emanating a bluish green light. The entire lighting felt extremely gloomy and mysterious.

The deeper they went, the stronger the sense of suppression pressing down on them. Yan Luo had already stopped walking. The pressure before them was simply too great, and was too much for him to endure. Thus, he could only stop.

Bei Feng and Ling Xu were still fine. This kind of pressure was actually a suppression on mental power. The stronger one’s mental power was, they further they would be able to go!

Bei Feng’s mental power was at the 5 star rank. Naturally, this bit of suppression was not worth much to him. According to his estimations, a normal Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert’s mental power was only around the 3 star rank!

The stronger ones were probably close to the 4 star rank. Ling Xu’s mental power should also be around high 4 star level. But one had to know that the difference of each star was a huge increase in power!

The color of lighting in front of the two slowly changed. As they walked, the gloomy lighting was replaced with a warm and gentle feeling, like that of the winter sun.

A huge underground cavern about the size of several basketball courts soon appeared before the eyes of the two. At the heart of the cavern—in midair—was the source of the light!

When they clearly made out the three stories tall stage created entirely with white jade, both Bei Feng and Ling Xu’s breaths stopped with amazement.

‘Innately Divine, Born Immortal!’

That was the first thought that struck their minds when they saw the creature on the stage. In the next moment, the two felt as if they’d fallen into an icy cavern!

On the huge white jade stage, a dragon less than ten meters long stood tall. Its claws were powerful and sharp, and its cyan scales were covered with silky cloud patterns. Two strands of long whiskers floated gently by its nose.

In Bei Feng and Ling Xu’s eyes, this dragon seemed to have come alive. Its aura seemed to have exploded like a volcano, and its eyes were staring icily at them.

“Pu!”

“Pu!”

In the next moment, the two were blasted backwards. Their chests were dented as though they had received a heavy impact. Fresh blood spouted out of their mouths.

After spitting out the blood, the scene before them changed. Looking up again, the dragon in the distance was still standing at the same spot. Four dragon claws supported the body of this green dragon.

“How terrifying! This dragon has died for an uncountable number of years, yet we were completely unable to muster any strength to resist its mental attack at all.”

“It’s truly frightening. When it was alive, just a glance from it would have killed us. Just who was it that had such great capabilities to do this to it?”

The two looked at each other with a lingering fear in their hearts.

The feeling this that this dragon that wasn’t even 10 meters long gave to Bei Feng and Ling Xu was just a single word: perfection! Apart from that, there were no other words to describe it.

At the same time, the two felt that the suppression on their mental powers had doubled in might. This was not just a suppression in aura and strength, but a suppression in the level of life form!

Ling Xu stood to the side and said with a complicated look, “This is not even a pure-blooded creature of the dragon race, and could not be considered as a true dragon. But despite that, it’s already so exceptional!

It wasn’t that there weren’t any geniuses on Earth. It was just that the Heavens and Earth had changed, and there was no place for martial cultivators anymore.

There were two long chains emanating a dark-golden color on the dragon’s tail. At the same time, there was a black substance on the dragon’s four limbs linked to the white jade platform itself, chaining the creature to its death!

The gentle light that lit up the cavern actually came from the pearl between the dragon’s two horns. From the looks of it, that was the dragon’s inner dan!

Just a surface probe was enough to tell how much energy the inner dan that wasn’t even as big as a chicken’s egg held! It was simply akin to an entire ocean of energy!

A single thought rose into the minds of Bei Feng and Ling Xu at the same time. ‘Get the inner dan!’ As long as they could retrieve the inner dan, they would obtain the dragon’s legacy, as well as the energy inside it. When compared to it, all kinds of supreme spirit stones or anything like it were not even worthy to carry the shoes for it!

“Hu, hu!”

The two’s breath quickened and grew rough as they fixed their eyes on the inner dan.

“Ai!”

After some time, a loud sigh suddenly rang out, instantly pulling Bei Feng out of his trance. As he regained his senses, Bei Feng sensed that something was not right with his body. Very quickly, he settled his mind and entered a meditative state.

Ling Xu was the one who had regained his clarity of mind first. It was precisely his sigh that let Bei Feng snap out of his greed.

Ling Xu spat out a breath of turbid air and said, “We do not have the ability to think about that inner dan. For now, our target is the Dragon Imprisoning Chains.”

As he said that, Ling Xu felt extremely refreshed, as if his entire mind had improved qualitatively. His mental power had also grown by a large notch.
