"What's so strange about it?" Lu Chen asked, puzzled.
"Do you know what kind of skeleton these are?" Cowherd looked at Lu Chen.
"I don't know." Lu Chen didn't know many races, not to mention that these were all skeletons, making it even harder to identify.
"Are they from the Ancient Dragon Clan?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, to be precise, they aren't a member of the Myriad Races. Let's put it this way, your mount, the Nine-Winged Celestial Dragon, is a branch of the Ancient Dragon Clan. The same goes for the Azure Dragon and the Black Flame Dragon Emperor."
Lu Chen frowned, "Branch? In other words, the Nine-Winged Celestial Dragon and my two divine beast whelps aren't from the Ancient Dragon Clan in the true sense? "
Cowherd continued, "Yes! I saw a passage of text in an instance dungeon that recorded their history. "
"The Ancient Dragon Clan was very powerful, but because they were too arrogant, in their eyes, there were only two forces, 'themselves' and 'others'. Often, one Ancient Dragon Clan member occupied a territory! If others of their kind entered their territory, they wouldn't hesitate to attack them! "
"But even if the Ancient Dragon Clan was so unique, at their peak, they still occupied 90% of the Third Heaven's territory!"
Lu Chen was shocked, "90%?! That's almost monopolizing the Third Heaven! The individual strength of the Ancient Dragon Clan was too strong! But why did the Third Heaven become what it is today? "
"The stone tablet didn't explain it in detail, but it mentioned that at a certain time, almost all the Ancient Dragon Clan in the Third Heaven disappeared. It was extremely rare to see one, and those Ancient Dragon Clan members who were alone only appeared for a very short period of time before disappearing."
Cowherd touched a dragon bone beside him and knocked it hard, "Kid, look, the stone tablet recorded things from thousands of years ago, but the bones exposed to the surface are still so sturdy. You can imagine how terrifying the Ancient Dragon Clan's body was!"
Lu Chen also knocked on the dragon bone. It was indeed sturdy.
"I didn't think that there would be so many ancient dragon skeletons here. Kid, this place is exposed. The people from the Yao Race should be able to see it. I wonder if the treasure is still here. Let's hurry up and find it."
Reality proved that bringing Cowherd along had its benefits. Cowherd had been in the Third Heaven for so long, and what he had seen and heard was what Lu Chen lacked.
The two of them continued to venture deeper.
Along the way, there were huge dragon skeletons everywhere. It was unknown how many ancient dragons were buried here.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a cliff that was four to five hundred meters wide. On the other side, they could vaguely see dragon bones.
"The coordinates are on the opposite shore." Lu Chen said, "This place is too far away. You won't be able to get there with your displacement skills. You'll have to either fly or ride your Mount."
"Mounts can't be used. Your Nine-Winged Celestial Dragon can make other mounts submit, but it will also be affected in the ancestral tomb, unable to fly."
Lu Chen summoned the Nine-winged Celestial Dragon. That fellow looked at the countless white bones around it and let out a wail. As expected, it was unwilling to fly.
Lu Chen patted the Nine-winged Celestial Dragon, "Nine-winged is a little sad … Come back."
Mounts couldn't fly, so they could only rely on Lu Chen's wings. However, when Lu Chen looked carefully at the sky above the canyon, he frowned again.
Upon closer inspection, he could see that the dust particles between the canyon were rushing directly into the sky at an extremely fast speed …
"Hmm? The wind is so strong, but I can't feel it at all here? "Clearly, it didn't make sense.
After thinking about it, Lu Chen picked up a fist-sized stone from beside his feet and threw it into the canyon.
The stone flew into the air and suddenly shattered into powder in midair. The powder turned into specks of light that quickly rose up until it dissipated into the night.
"This is?" Cowherd's eyes widened as cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Jiutian stones could shatter and be ground into powder, but they would never disappear! However, the stone just now had turned into specks of light and dissipated.
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "It could be some kind of physical attack …"
With this, Lu Chen didn't dare to fly.
The width of the cliff exceeded the teleportation distance of the Triple Gate, and the Dragon Necropolis had a much stronger pressure than the Nine-winged Celestial Dragon. The canyon constantly released astral energy that could destroy physical bodies.
For a moment, Lu Chen and Cowherd stood by the cliff, somewhat at a loss.
"No wonder the demons couldn't obtain the treasure. There's no way to pass through here," Cowherd said.
Lu Chen thought for a moment, "Old man, we overlooked something. The treasure map said that the time to obtain the treasure is when the sun and moon alternate. We should wait until the sun and moon alternate."
"Right, I almost forgot … Then let's wait a little longer."
The two were tired, so they found a place to rest by the cliff.
Leaning against a dragon bone, Lu Chen pondered over Cowherd's words, "The ancient Dragon Race once ruled the Triple Heaven. It was only when they were wiped out that the other races rose. What kind of existence was this ancient Dragon Race that they could crush all the other races!
"What kind of treasure could lead to the extinction of such a powerful race?!"
Lu Chen looked at Cowherd, "Hey, old man, if even the astral energy here is physical damage, do you think the Dragon Race really went extinct in the real world?"
Cowherd frowned, "I can't say for sure. After all, this is the Triple Heaven. Even if their physical bodies are destroyed, they might not necessarily die … It's just that no one has seen the ancient Dragon Race for thousands of years. If they still have people, they should be able to start again."
Lu Chen's frown deepened, "In other words, this treasure might have caused the destruction of the real world!"
At this point, Cowherd also felt a chill run down his spine.
The danger of this treasure hunt was far beyond their imagination!
"Kid, are you afraid?"
Lu Chen smiled, "It's okay. After the concept of physical damage appeared in the Triple Heaven, I seem to have slowly gotten used to it."
"If you just want to play a game, then just hang around in the Double Heaven and Double Heaven. But if you want to get more, then you have to give more."
Cowherd nodded, "That's right. Once you reach the Triple Heaven, there's no turning back. Everyone is the same!"
The two chatted for a long time by the cliff until four in the morning.
The sky was already slightly bright, and the sun rose and the moon set.
"Kid, isn't it time?"
Lu Chen stood up, "Let's not rush. Getting hit by the astral energy is no joke. It's safer to try a few more times."
"Of course, although I'm prepared to die in the Triple Heaven, I don't want to die so early."
The two walked over and carried a large pile of stones, piling them by the cliff. When the sun and the moon were about to change, they threw the stones evenly across the cliff.
"Let's work together and throw once every two or three seconds. If a stone passes through, look at the position of the sun and the moon."
"No problem!"
However, the moment the stone touched the astral energy, it was destroyed …
Until the sun and the moon passed, not a single stone passed through the canyon.
"F * ck! This, how are we going to get through this? "
"No rush, let's try again at night. We have plenty of time anyway."
In the evening, the moon rose and the sun set. The two used the stones they had prepared in advance to test, but the stone army was still annihilated …
For the next few days, the two continued to test, but the situation was not optimistic. No matter the size of the stone, not a single stone passed through the canyon.
On the third day, the two finally gave up.
"F * ck, we really can't get through!" Lu Chen shook his head.
This was the first time he was at his wit's end.
