Chapter 55 Is this still the Dragon Palace? Where did they put him?
After Long Yingxue absorbed the Dragon King's inheritance, the suppression of the snow mountain completely disappeared.
She floated in the air, looking eastward, towards the direction of the Dragon Palace.
All she wanted was to hide in that small courtyard, escape the past, and beg for a pitiful peace.
But Ao Shuang and the Dragon Palace's relentless pressure shattered her last illusions.
Since they won't even let go of her last glimmer of light, then she will plunge the whole world into boundless darkness!
"Haven't you been looking for me all this time? Just wait, this time I will wipe out the entire dragon race, for all eternity!"
The moment she finished speaking, Long Yingxue stretched out her small hand and casually tore open a huge spatial rift.
She took one last look at the snow-capped mountain before stepping into the turbulent flow of time and space!
Waiting for her! Waiting for her!
......
Cheng Xiao has been in the Dragon Palace for almost half a year.
For the past six months, his physical body has been sealed in ice, but his soul can roam freely.
After Ao Shuang brought him back, the entire Dragon Clan tried many methods, and even the Dragon King took action, but they couldn't do anything about him.
joke.
If a bunch of dragons from the mortal realm could break through his defenses, wouldn't all his cultivation have been for nothing?
The dragons couldn't do anything about him, so they simply used him as bait.
Ao Shuang said that Ao Xue had very deep feelings for him, and as long as he was still alive, Ao Xue would definitely find him and then force him to reveal the whereabouts of the Dragon King's inheritance.
The current Dragon King also approved of this approach.
In the days that followed, Cheng Xiao's enormous block of ice was left aside.
With nothing much to do these days, he wandered around the vast Dragon Palace.
From the day he was brought back, he discovered that this Dragon Palace was very different from the Dragon Palace he remembered.
There are many dragons in this vast world. Although they live in different worlds, they all have similar backgrounds.
For example, they all share the surname Ao, like to collect shiny things, are arrogant and conceited, mostly consider themselves upright, and dislike contact with human cultivators.
After all, in their view, the dragon race was born of the power of heaven and earth and should be the noblest race in the world. How could other mortals approach them? Their palaces should also be the most luxurious palaces.
But after arriving here, Cheng Xiao's stereotypes were completely shattered.
The Dragon Palace here seems to have changed, becoming unrecognizable.
When Ao Shuang first brought him here, he felt that the Dragon Palace was very dark, completely different from the magnificent and splendid image he had in mind.
In this dimly lit dragon palace, there were red "coral reefs" everywhere. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that they were not coral reefs at all, but a large piece of dark red flesh and blood tissue, which was even wriggling in the water.
The beads supporting the Dragon Palace were covered with huge barnacles, which looked like human faces and sometimes even opened their eyes.
Even more terrifying are the "dragons" in the Dragon Palace.
Dragons are creatures that value bloodlines the most, and they would never allow anything to taint their bloodline.
But here he saw dragons with squid tentacles, dragons with eyes all over their heads, and all sorts of other strange creatures.
Perhaps they can no longer be fully called "dragons".
Cheng Xiao also met the current Dragon King.
The Dragon King seemed to be in good condition, not too strange, but Cheng Xiao noticed that under the Dragon King's robe were constantly writhing dark purple fleshy tentacles and eerie eyes.
With each breath, he would even spray out a pale purple substance, polluting the water!
The most normal ones are probably Ao Shuang and her brothers and sisters.
Amidst this strange change, Cheng Xiao could vaguely discern the former glory of the Dragon Palace.
Perhaps this place was once like countless dragons in the vast world, but now it has completely changed.
Here, Cheng Xiao also found a familiar aura and understood why the Dragon Palace had become like this.
The Dragon Palace was polluted, which is what the cultivators of Shenhe Prefecture called the source of turbidity.
The pollution range of this source of turbidity is even larger than that of Shenhe Prefecture. The entire dragon race has already been affected, and the next step is estimated to be the spirit beasts on land, followed by the humans of Cangling Continent.
Cheng Xiao never expected that he would see something like this in a dungeon.
By overhearing a conversation among the high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan, he also understood why Ao Shuang wanted to seek the Dragon King's legacy.
It turned out that they had also noticed something was wrong, but they were powerless to change it. They could only hope that the Dragon King's legacy could purify everything and restore the Dragon Palace to normal.
The dragons in the Dragon Palace have gone completely mad.
Normally they would huddle together to resist the turbidity, but most of the time they just aimlessly lingered around those "coral reefs".
Compared to the rest of the Dragon Palace, Ao Shuang seemed much more normal.
After witnessing the changes in the Dragon Palace, Cheng Xiao suddenly realized that the phrase "let the Dragon Girl return to the throne" in the system mission seemed to have a deeper meaning.
He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
It's as if all of this is within the system's calculations.
From the very beginning when he led Long Yingxue to find the remains of the old Dragon King, to when he found the Dragon King's legacy and handed it over to Long Yingxue, it all seemed to have been within the system's expectations.
Everything was for Long Yingxue to finally "reclaim the throne".
Of course, all of this is just his speculation, and it may all be a coincidence.
After all, he had a system avatar by his side. Even he didn't expect that he would stay after accumulating enough favorability. Could the system itself have predicted this?
Cheng Xiao did not take the initiative to ask Hakimi about anything related to this.
Because he always understood that the system was untrustworthy.
After he found Chu Ning's trail on the Cangling Continent, more and more strange things began to happen.
Now we can only wait for Long Yingxue to finish absorbing the Dragon King's inheritance and see if she can really change the current situation here.
Time passed, and I don't know how much time had gone by.
Cheng Xiao discovered that his physical body's cultivation had actually surpassed the Golden Core stage and successfully reached the early Nascent Soul stage. It was Long Yingxue who was replenishing his cultivation through the master-servant blood pact.
This means that she has successfully absorbed the Dragon King's legacy.
Just as Cheng Xiao sensed the abnormality in his cultivation, he discovered that the waters surrounding the Dragon Palace began to shake violently.
As his soul left the water, he saw that the clear sky above the Dragon Palace had been torn open, and a graceful figure emerged from the void.
Over the past six months, Long Yingxue has not changed much, except that her aura has become colder and she is no longer as lively and lovely as before.
It felt like they had returned to the rainy night when they first met.
That's just how she is.
After Long Yingxue appeared, she didn't say much or challenge anyone in the sky. Instead, she simply raised her hand and gently waved it out. A golden spiritual force, like a giant blade, cleaved the sea in two.
The Dragon Palace, hidden deep in the sea, has finally been revealed.
Long Yingxue looked surprised for a moment, perhaps wondering why the Dragon Palace had become like this, but she did not hesitate and raised her palm again.
