"Squeak! Squeak!"
Keke's pair of big bright eyes were filled with joy. Its long eyelashes fluttered unceasingly as it pounced onto Xiao Chen's shoulder. One of its snow-white, furry little paws grabbed a lock of Xiao Chen's long hair tightly, afraid that it would disappear if it let go.
Like a lost child in the desert, it suddenly saw a sea of people and found its loved ones. The little critter's joyful mood was indescribable as it babbled unceasingly.
A few months ago, the little critter could be said to be very pitiful. It stood alone on a broken tree and gazed into the distance while sobbing. After that, it curled up on the broken tree with tears in its eyes and sobbed until it didn't have the strength to fall asleep.
Now that they suddenly met again, the little critter had completely recovered its former lively nature. The dejection of the past few months was swept away.
In the surroundings, when the two Dragon Kings and close to thirty young dragons saw that the snow-white little critter and Xiao Chen were familiar with each other, they all stopped their attack. However, their hostility was still there.
Xiao Chen originally thought he had received grievous news, but now he found out the little critter was safe and sound. It was as if he had stepped into heaven from hell in an instant. He took out a Deity Fruit with a smile and waved it in front of Keke.
The fragrance immediately circulated in the forest. The rhombus-shaped Deity Fruit was surrounded by dense light mist. It looked like it was carved out of fine jade, the radiance was flowing around unceasingly. "Squeak … …"
The snow-white little critter hugged it in its bosom and took a bite happily. Its obsidian-like big eyes narrowed into a crescent moon shape, it was filled with an intoxicated expression.
The moment the young dragons in the surroundings saw the Deity Fruit, they couldn't help but reveal an envious expression. Although these little critters might be powerful enough to make the deities tremble in the future, they were still very immature at the moment.
The distant old dragon actually acted like a human and coughed lightly. All the young dragons retreated like the tide and returned to the old dragon's surroundings.
Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, then he walked forward with large strides. He arrived at the empty space in front. He was filled with doubt when he faced the old dragon that looked like a bag of bones. The old dragon that had one foot in the grave was obviously not ordinary. Otherwise, how could it stay on this terrifying sacred mountain?
One must know that when he came to the sacred mountain for the first time eight years ago, the strong Monarch Lion Dragon failed to barge into the sacred mountain. This skinny old dragon who had lost its horns and scales had appeared on the mountain with nearly thirty Dragon Whelps was definitely out of the ordinary. It gave off an unfathomable feeling.
However, Xiao Chen was not worried because Keke seemed to be doted on by the old dragon. Otherwise, how could he sleep soundly on its back?
"Greetings, Senior."
Xiao Chen bowed respectfully. He believed that the old dragon definitely possessed more divinity than bestiality. It was able to understand his words.
True enough. The old dragon nodded silently. Two weak rays of light flickered in its turbid eyes as it stared at Xiao Chen's chest.
This greatly startled Xiao Chen. That was where the broken stone man was sitting. It … could actually sense it? This was a little unusual. After all, even a half-step Martial Ancestor could not detect the existence of the stone man. He only knew that Xiao Chen's body was somewhat strange.
Xiao Chen quickly understood what was going on. The dilapidated golem was trembling, and the old dragon was also trembling slightly. After that, it stretched out a dragon claw, and a stone arm emerged from that tightly closed dragon claw.
Xiao Chen was gobsmacked. He was startled by the old dragon's claw. That was actually an Ancestral Dragon's claw. Secondly, there really was an artifact related to the stone man on the Sacred Mountain. It must have been kept by the old dragon. It must have sensed the existence of the dilapidated golem because of the trembling of that severed arm.
Like a wise and farsighted old man, the old dragon held the stone arm and pondered for a moment. After that, it let go of the dragon claw. Without any sound, that small arm flew towards Xiao Chen and entered his body in an instant.
He could vaguely hear a "Kacha" sound. The right arm of the stone man reassembled completely. The four limbs of the stone man were gathered just like that. The four limbs were connected by the dim mist. It sat cross-legged with both hands holding the stone diamond and the stone ball. It seemed as if it had never moved before. It was like a statue that had existed since ancient times.
However, Xiao Chen had a strange feeling. The dilapidated golem seemed to be different from before. He could actually establish an extremely weak connection with it.
That's right, it was definitely different from before. It was a kind of mysterious feeling that was hard to describe.
This made Xiao Chen very excited. If he could command the golem to fight, he didn't know how powerful it would be. He always felt that the golem seemed to be even more mysterious than the Twenty-Four War Swords.
"Senior, do you know the origin of the golem?"
The old dragon shook its head. It seemed to be a little tired at the moment. The tiredness on its face was very obvious. The thirty young dragons in the surroundings all revealed a worried expression as they surrounded the old dragon.
And Keke who was holding the Deity Fruit was also a little nervous. It quickly rushed to the front of the old dragon. After that, it lightly waved its little paw to summon the rainbow-colored sacred tree and planted it on the ground. Multicolored light immediately flowed in this place. Extraordinary colors flickered. The dense spiritual energy enveloped the old dragon.
"Squeak … …"
The snow-white little critter raised the Deity Fruit and offered it to the old dragon. It could be seen that it had a lot of feelings for the old dragon. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to offer the Deity Fruit.
The emaciated old dragon shook its head. It didn't accept it. It stretched out its dragon claw and rubbed the little critter's head dotingly.
Xiao Chen was a little amazed. The old dragon didn't seem to have much longer to live. Its life had already come to an end. He could feel that it was like a dried up lamp. Inadvertently, he saw the scenery in the oasis behind the old dragon. He was gobsmacked. That place … … was actually a graveyard.
The shadows of the trees danced in the air. He could vaguely see that those graves were abnormally huge. There were no tombstones erected, but a pair of huge dragon horns was erected in front of every grave.
There were only seven or eight graves, but they occupied a very large area. It was easy to imagine that the identity of the dragons buried here was no small matter. After all, the number of dragons was not small, but only a few of them were qualified to be buried here.
Could it be that the old dragon foresaw that it wouldn't be long to live and wanted to bury it here? This made Xiao Chen even more certain that its identity was out of the ordinary.
On that day, when the dragon island's ghost town appeared, a dragon horn once crashed into the ghost town. It was unknown whether it was inside the dragon horn in the graveyard or not. Looking at those huge dragon horns, Xiao Chen was quite envious. Those were definitely top-notch treasures. It would be strange if the artificers in the world of cultivation didn't go crazy after seeing them.
The auspicious radiance emitted by the rainbow-colored sacred tree was gradually absorbed by the old dragon. That tired expression of his gradually disappeared. He seemed to have become a lot more spirited. All of a sudden, it stared at Xiao Chen's left arm. It was completely different from its previous calmness. Its eyes revealed an astonished expression.
"What is that?"
It actually let out an aged voice.
Xiao Chen was moved. He took off the jade bracelet on his arm and said, "I came from the human world's Ancestral Dragon Village. Someone said that this is the key to unlocking the seal of the human world. "Ancestral Dragon Village … …"
The old dragon revealed a doubtful expression. The moment its huge claw touched the jade bracelet, a golden image of the Ancestral Dragon actually leaped out from the purple bracelet. One golden light after another shot out from the old dragon's body.
"Roar … …"
A loud dragon roar rang out from the oasis, and the entire Sacred Mountain of the Dragon Race shook violently.
The old dragon's imposing manner was too astonishing. At this moment, it was as if countless primordial giants had descended together. It was world-shaking. The dragon roars could be heard from all over the dragon island. The roars of ancient beasts rose and fell one after another. The dragon island was in an uproar.
Other than Keke, there were also those two young dragon kings in the oasis. The other dragon whelps were very frightened.
The golden image of the dragon disappeared in a flash and returned to the bracelet. The old dragon's roar stopped. It seemed to have undergone a great change at this moment. It was as if it had received the nourishment of life essence. It was a lot more spirited.
"It seems like I don't need to enter the graveyard. Perhaps I can persevere until the day the seal is broken."
The old dragon's aged voice echoed in the oasis. After that, it lowered its head and looked at Xiao Chen. It said, "The jade bracelet contains the essence of the Ancestral Dragon. Thank you for extending my lifespan. "
"This is nothing to me. I am also grateful to senior for gifting that stone arm to me. Could it be that senior really doesn't know its origin? "
The old dragon shook its head and didn't say anything. After a long time, it said, "It was left on the island by an ancestral god."
Xiao Chen saw that it didn't seem to be willing to talk too much, so he didn't ask any further. So, he asked another question, "Why were the dragons sealed? What's going on with the ghost town? What exactly happened in the ancient times? "
When the old dragon heard the word 'ancient times', it gradually revealed an incomparably pained expression. It muttered to itself intermittently, "Rather than saying it was sealed, it would be more accurate to say that it was because it was on the dragon island … that it was implicated."
Xiao Chen's heart was thumping hard. He was finally going to touch upon the ancient secrets. Even Keke and the other dragon whelps at the side revealed a focused expression.
The old dragon seemed to be talking in a dream. It sank into the painful memories and said, "Humans, dragons, ancestral gods, they all went mad … they all died! The ghost town, no! It should be called the Evil Abyss. You can't open it, you can't open it! "
Xiao Chen didn't really understand. Why did the desperate and crazy war happen in the ancient times? Was the Evil Abyss referring to the ghost town or the demonic well under the Heavenly Monument? He had a lot of questions, but the old dragon sank into silence and didn't say anything else.
After a long time, Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask, "If we don't open the Evil Abyss, how are the dragons going to break the seal?"
"When an even more powerful Ancestral Dragon appears, it will break the dragon's curse."
The old dragon said desolately.
"What exactly is going on?"
Xiao Chen really wanted to know.
However, the old dragon sunk into silence again.
"Which experts died in the ghost town?"
"Countless humans, deities, and dragons. Almost all of them died in there. Seven of the two generations of Dragon Kings died. Little Chiyou died, and the evil incarnation of the little monk Buddha died. Xuan Yuan, who had the potential to become an ancestral god, was crippled. Shennong … Oh, he brought along a dozen people who were on the verge of death and escaped. Youchao fell into the Evil Abyss, Suirenshi's whereabouts are unknown, and … "
It seemed that only Shennong brought along a dozen people and escaped. Countless immortals and deities died in the Evil Abyss.
Xiao Chen was really stunned. He didn't know what to say for a very long time.
"Why did it turn out like this?"
The old dragon shook its head and sank into silence.
"What race is Keke?"
Xiao Chen suddenly asked. He finally discovered this "living fossil" old dragon. He had too many questions to ask.
Hearing his question, the snow-white little critter blinked its big eyes and stared at the old dragon. "You don't need to know. Or, you can just treat it as a dragon. "
"Dragon?"
Xiao Chen was very dissatisfied with this answer.
"Squeak … …"
The little critter scratched its head in a daze.
"Why do the people of other worlds say that the world of immortals is illusory?"
The old dragon's expression turned sluggish. After a long time, it said, "Perhaps the world of immortals will be destroyed in the end. But … how would they know that the world of immortals isn't the only one that will be destroyed."
Xiao Chen stayed in this oasis for an entire night. He realized that the old dragon was really … … "quiet". He asked a lot of questions, but the old dragon only answered a few of them.
And during this process. Xiao Chen finally knew what was going on with the snow-white beast skin in his hand.
Keke's physical body was reborn on the dragon island. It started from the rainbow-colored jade shell again. However, a small interlude occurred during this process. A nine-tailed spirit fox coveted the power within the jade shell, but it was unable to break it. After guarding it for a long time, it was naturally stained with the aura of the rainbow-colored jade shell.
Unfortunately, it attracted a few powerful dragons. The nine-tailed spirit fox was a sacred beast, but it couldn't withstand a single blow from an adult dragon. Naturally, it was killed and eaten by the young dragons.
The reappearance of the rainbow-colored jade shell attracted the old dragon's attention.
However, the speed of the egg cracking this time was much faster than when Keke was born for the first time.
"I already know a few things about the immortal's mainland from Keke. I want to ask you for a favor. "
Early in the morning, the old dragon finally opened his mouth to speak again.
"Senior, feel free to instruct me. If I can help, I will do my best to help. "
"You have seen that Dragon King from the Southern Wasteland, and you have also seen a white-shelled little tortoise. Sigh, they are blood brothers, but they actually sealed their own brother into a tortoise. This is too vicious. "
Xiao Chen was gobsmacked. That little tortoise was actually … … really a dragon. Furthermore, it was the brother of the Southern Wasteland's old dragon. This was really unexpected.
He took out the black chain that was used to seal the white-shelled little tortoise from the divinized acupoint.
The forty-nine divinized acupoints were like forty-nine bizarre spaces. It could seal any object.
The old dragon took the chain and looked at it. He frowned and said, "A very vicious sealing technique. Fortunately, it was broken when it was stained with that tough little dragon's blood."
Speaking until here, it flipped its dragon claw. A very small, but sparkling and translucent dragon horn appeared out of thin air. It said, "If you have the chance to see that little tortoise, give this to it. It can help it recover."
In the end, the old dragon heaved a sigh and said, "Tell the tough little dragon to stay away from that Dragon King from the Southern Wasteland. I don't like it."
The tough little dragon was actually worthy of the old dragon's attention. This made Xiao Chen a little surprised.
As if it had seen through his doubts, the old dragon said to itself, "I was the one who watched that stubborn little guy being born."
In the end, the old dragon slowly stretched out that skinny claw. With a light push, it actually opened up a spatial passage. It directly brought the thirty young dragons and Xiao Chen to the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Chen was incomparably shocked. Wasn't the dragon race sealed? The old dragon … … not only could it speak, it could also display such a terrifying divine ability. It was really unfathomable.
"You guys can go."
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the old dragon stopped.
Keke seemed to be reluctant to leave this place. It ran to the front of the old dragon and squeaked a few times. After that, it very generously gave the spiritual essence on Xiao Chen's body to the two young Dragon Kings and those ordinary young dragons. This made the unruly little guys a little embarrassed. They only accepted it after the old dragon nodded its head.
"Rumble … …"
The earth was shaking. Many powerful dragons ran over from a distant place, including the Tyrannical Dragon, Monarch Lion Dragon, Saber Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon, and so on. All the huge dragons knelt down as if they were paying homage. This scene was really spectacular.
The hill-like dragons filled the foot of the sacred mountain. There were even a lot of ancient beasts that were not weaker than the dragons. They also knelt down, as if they were worshipping.
Xiao Chen was really shocked to the extreme.
When they left with Keke, there were no dragons to obstruct them, and no ancient beasts to make things difficult for them. Xiao Chen and the others smoothly left the sacred mountain.
Using the Eightfold Extreme Speed, Xiao Chen brought Keke to the center of the dragon island. The boundless white sea of bones stretched as far as the eye could see.
Xiao Chen had an indescribable feeling. Everything about him started from the Heavenly Monolith. After that, all kinds of things happened around the Heavenly Monolith. Could it be that his fate was related to the Heavenly Monolith?
Black fog lingered around the Heavenly Monolith in the sea of bones. Was the Evil Abyss below it? Xiao Chen didn't have any time to waste. After gazing at it for a short while, he soared into the sky with Keke and flew towards the seaside.
The golden Taboo Ocean sealed the Trapped Dragon Island, how could they leave?
Xiao Chen continuously carved on the beach. He still clearly remembered the Nine Underworld Formation left behind by the demon. He wanted to summon the Sovereign King Ship again, but he didn't know if he would succeed.
However, just at this time, Keke's performance made him dumbstruck.
The little critter stood on the seashore in high spirits. It surveyed the sea and began to squawk, "Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"
It was just like the time when it stirred up trouble with the eleven Dragon Kings to summon the Ancestral Dragon Divine Ship together. Although its voice was immature, it clearly reverberated between heaven and earth. As if it had cut through time and space, it transmitted its will to the depths of the Taboo Ocean.
An incomparably vast and ancient aura began to spread in the depths of the Taboo Ocean. It was as if an unknown mysterious power began to respond to Keke.
What made Xiao Chen feel inconceivable was, a vast dragon roar actually transmitted from the boundless golden sea. It was like a majestic heavenly sound transmitted from the ancient times. It made people tremble from the bottom of their soul.
This was really shocking. The little critter could actually summon the divine ship by itself. At that time, was it Keke who summoned the divine ship, or was it the eleven Dragon Kings who summoned the divine ship? Xiao Chen felt that it was very hard to speculate.
The divine ship made from the Ancestral Dragon's bone and the Heavenly Wood had always been wandering in the Taboo Ocean. It had already drifted for countless years. It could freely enter and exit the Taboo Ocean.
According to legend, it required at least nine Dragon Kings to gather together in order to summon the legendary divine ship. Or, if it was summoned by the real little Ancestral Dragon, it alone was enough to fight against nine Dragon Kings.
Keke was not a dragon, but how could it summon the divine ship by itself like the little Ancestral Dragon? Xiao Chen was very shocked. Could it be that the little critter was really comparable to the little Ancestral Dragon?
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"
The little critter puffed out its chest and squeaked with all its might.
A huge dragon ship blossoming with seven-colored radiance rode the wind and broke through the waves. It appeared on the surface of the golden sea out of nowhere. It seemed as if it really came from the ancient times.
