Just as Ji Changsheng and the others were guessing Yang Xuan's background, Yang Xuan looked indifferently at the wretched middle-aged man kneeling in front of him. His gaze was unfriendly.
"In order to see me, you didn't hesitate to betray your own sect leader and cause his death. Your intentions are truly vicious," Yang Xuan looked at him and said indifferently.
The middle-aged man kneeling in front of him shuddered. He didn't even dare to raise his head. "Lord Demon God, I only want a future."
"Now that you've seen me, what do you want? Speak." Yang Xuan leaned back and said.
The middle-aged man looked around. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I know where the Land of the Hidden Dragons is."
"What, the Land of the Hidden Dragons?" Ming Huaqing, who was standing at the side, exclaimed.
Even Shura, who had always been calm, revealed a look of disbelief after his body trembled.
Yang Xuan looked at the two of them.
Ming Huaqing didn't see Yang Xuan's gaze at all. He just stared at the middle-aged man with rapid breathing and asked repeatedly, "Are you sure it's the Land of the Hidden Dragons?"
The middle-aged man looked at him, then looked at Yang Xuan, but didn't say anything.
Ming Huaqing finally reacted. His body trembled as he looked at Yang Xuan.
Seeing that Yang Xuan's expression didn't change, he sighed in relief. He bowed and said, "Sect Leader, I've been rude."
Yang Xuan asked indifferently, "What is the Land of the Hidden Dragons?"
Ming Huaqing took a deep breath and organized his words slightly. Then, he slowly said, "It's said that the Penglai World is a huge space floating in the void. It's dragged by five divine dragons so that it doesn't sink into the endless darkness. After the five divine dragons completed their mission, they didn't leave. Instead, they entered the Penglai World and scattered into five places, falling into a deep sleep. The so-called Land of the Hidden Dragons is where the five divine dragons are sleeping. "
"Legend has it that as long as any Qi Practitioner can absorb the power of any one of the divine dragons, they can immediately ascend to immortality and enter the Immortal Realm," Shura added.
Ming Huaqing nodded and said, "That's right, the power of the godly dragon is incredibly strong. If a Qi Practitioner is fated to absorb even a tiny bit of its power, he or she would be able to jump a few levels in an instant."
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is the legend credible?"
Ming Huaqing performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "Sect Master, you might not know this, but the legend of the five dragons is not baseless. One thousand years ago, there was a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage who absorbed some of the Divine Dragon's energy. His cultivation became heaven-defying and he became the strongest person on Penglai. In the end, he ascended to heaven.
Divine Dragon?
Yang Xuan's eyes flashed, and his gaze fell on the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground.
"Zhao Yong, since you know where the divine dragon is, why don't you absorb it yourself and instead take the risk to tell me?"
The middle-aged man, Zhao Yong, kowtowed and smiled bitterly, "My Lord, it's not that I don't want to absorb the power of the divine dragon and soar to the heavens, but I know what kind of person I am. My aptitude is low, and even if I absorb the power of the divine dragon, I might explode and die instantly. Not to mention that there are also strange beasts with powerful cultivation guarding outside the Land of the Hidden Dragons. If I were to approach and be slightly careless, I might end up dying."
Yang Xuan accurately grasped the loophole in his words and asked, "So, you didn't enter the Land of the Hidden Dragons. Then, how are you sure that it's the Land of the Hidden Dragons?"
Zhao Yong replied, "This lowly one was lucky. One night, I saw a green dragon about ten feet long swimming above that place. Although it was only for a moment, this lowly one is sure that my eyes are not playing tricks on me."
Hearing this, Ming Huaqing said excitedly, "Sect Master, the Land of the Hidden Dragons and the dragon roams outside of things is a legend. Since Zhao Yong can see the spirit of the divine dragon, it can't be wrong."
Yang Xuan nodded. Since there was such a place, he naturally had to go and take a look.
"Lead the way." He looked at Zhao Yong and said lightly.
The mountain was tens of thousands of feet high, and it was difficult for apes and monkeys to cross.
A white ribbon fell from the sky with a loud roar and smashed into the deep pool, splashing thousands of water mist.
Zhao Yong's hair was wet from the mist. He pointed at the deep pool under his feet and said loudly, "Sect Master, this is where I saw the spirit of the dragon. The Land of the Hidden Dragons must be below."
Yang Xuan spread out his Divine Thought. The pool was deep, and the bottom was deep. The bottom was rugged with strange rocks, and no fish could be seen.
He did not find anything unusual.
Ming Huaqing and Asura did not come. Under Yang Xuan's orders, they were guarding the Seven Star Mountain.
"Sect Master, the last time I was here, I vaguely saw a strange snake in Tan Zhong. When its aura was slightly revealed, I felt like I was better off dead. Sect Master, please be careful." Zhao Yong continued.
Yang Xuan nodded. Zhao Yong's cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment Stage. To be able to make him feel like he was better off dead, his cultivation was at least at the Late-stage of the Golden Core Stage.
"Wait here." Yang Xuan instructed in an indifferent voice, before flying off.
The waterfall roared. Yang Xuan jumped down the waterfall. After accelerating slightly, he plunged into the deep pool.
Boom!
Water splashed everywhere. Yang Xuan was already more than ten meters below the pool.
The loud roar of the waterfall became blurry. The light, which was not very bright to begin with, became even darker.
However, this was of course not a problem for Yang Xuan. As far as his eyes could see, the fine details were clear.
Dark strange rocks, unknown long aquatic plants that were constantly drifting with the waves. The scene below the pool was like a terrifying forest.
Yang Xuan dived again. After reaching a depth of 100 meters, the surroundings were completely dark.
Whoosh!
In the deep pool, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the cracks in the rocks, pouncing at Yang Xuan at an incredible speed.
Roar!
A muffled hiss was transmitted over through the ripples, and a bloody mouth appeared in front of Yang Xuan.
However, Yang Xuan did not care at all. With a flick of his finger, the bloody mouth staggered back and rolled in the water.
"If you stay by the side obediently, I can spare your life." Yang Xuan said lightly.
From the beginning to the end, he did not look at the black shadow.
The black shadow hissed in the water. Its body stretched out. It had leopard skin, a triangular head, and a tongue that was constantly retracting under its bell-like eyes.
It was a huge water snake about 40 to 50 meters long.
The water snake was psychic. When it missed its attack, it was flicked by Yang Xuan's finger. The huge force went straight into its brain, making it dizzy and almost fainting. It knew that the person in front of it was not to be trifled with.
Hiss! Hiss!
After hissing a few times, it obediently went into the cracks, only revealing its head slightly. It looked at Yang Xuan vigilantly.
Yang Xuan ignored it and began to look around.
More than 100 meters down the pool, he had reached the bottom. Yang Xuan's feet landed on the huge rocks at the bottom of the pool.
He spread his Divine Sense in all directions. The appearance of the icy pond was imprinted in his mind.
After a while, his eyes fell on the water snake.
When the water snake saw him looking over, it became more vigilant. Its red tongue kept sticking out and hissing.
Yang Xuan did not care about it. He moved slightly and approached the cracks in the rocks.
"Get out of the way!" He said lightly. He did not care if the water snake could understand him.
The water snake answered with action. It bit at him. There was a flash of brilliance between its teeth. In the mouth of the snake, there was also a strange power gathering.
Puff!
The huge snake head bit Yang Xuan's arm. Its bell-like eyes showed a proud look.
However, in the next moment, it hissed in pain. It hurriedly released its mouth and staggered back again.
