Chapter Sixteen: Entering Divine Dragon Valley

  "These three points, as shown on the map, are the three most likely places to have the Dragon's Blood."

  To enter the Divine Dragon Valley, Ye Lin had to take out the Divine Dragon skin map obtained from the Earth Dragon's abdomen and carefully compare it several times to find the target of the Divine Dragon Blood he was looking for this time.

  But, I didn't know if I didn't look, and when I looked, I was startled to find that the location of the Dragon's Blood marked on the map is not one place, but three places. These three places are located in different parts of the Dragon Valley. The first one is about 3,000 miles into the valley, and the other two points are more than 10,000 miles into the valley.

  Although warriors become stronger and faster through training, the Dragon Valley is home to countless powerful dragons. It's no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the dragon beasts inheriting the divine dragon bloodline and being born with a love of sleep, even the combined forces of the four major families of Yunshui City would not be a match for the Dragon Valley. Moreover, most of the powerful monsters in the deepest part of the Lianyao Mountains dare not take half a step out due to the existence of the Dragon Valley; otherwise, with the strength of Yunshui City, it would be impossible to withstand the entire Lianyao Mountains, which stretch for tens of thousands of miles.

  "No matter in terms of time or strength, I can now explore only the first point at most. Otherwise, even if I possess the Dragon Bloodline aura, I'm afraid that with the wisdom of those terrifying dragon beasts deep down, they will be able to easily discover my deception."

  Heaven and earth, all things, the most fundamental origin, are all derived from the universal law of all phenomena. The supreme deity of the universal god tribe was born from the universal law of all phenomena, giving rise to heaven, earth, universe, and all things.

  It is not, fundamentally speaking, that only humans have high intelligence in the world, and it is absolutely impossible to say, as ordinary people do, that humans are the spirits of all things. From ancient legends, humans themselves were created by the primordial goddess Nuwa collecting the divine blood of all things, refining the five-color divine mud, mixing with her own essence to comprehend the highest heavenly way, and fundamentally speaking, can only be considered a post-heavenly being. The heavenly gods of the world, endowed with divine powers, are the original source of the world's laws, condensed from the primordial energy of the world, and fundamentally speaking, the heavenly gods of the world are the orthodox pre-heavenly gods. Fundamentally speaking, humans are inferior by one level.

  In terms of strength, the various powerful techniques of humans are all derived from human intuition and understanding of heaven and earth, as well as the creation of the gods. Many of them fundamentally come from the gods, although they are said to be based on the laws of heaven and earth. However, these laws are formless and unknown, so who can truly understand what they are? The gods of heaven and earth, on the other hand, are even more direct - they were born from the condensation of the primordial energy of heaven and earth through the laws of heaven and earth, and have been passed down from heaven to possess the most suitable techniques for themselves since birth. This allows them to inherently possess the powerful strength to dominate and fight against heaven and earth.

  There are gains and losses, the gods of heaven and earth inherited the power to dominate the world from the great way of heaven and earth, giving them the strongest power in the world. However, at the same time, they also lacked a sense of progress, such as the dragon god, who spent more than 99% of his life sleeping, or the monkey god tribe, who spent more than 99% of their lives drinking, and were only enthusiastic about inheriting things, but not innovating or reforming.

  But humans are different, for survival and self-strengthening, throughout their lives, they have been creating and developing, seeking even greater power. As a result, as time passes, the number of top human strongmen increases, and the number of unique skills created also increases. Gradually, in terms of top-level combat strength, the gap between humans and the Innate Gods grows larger and larger. Finally, it allows human power to gradually surpass that of the vast majority of Innate Gods, and stand alongside the absolute peak existence within the Innate Pantheon.

  It is the case that, with high intelligence, it is absolutely impossible to say that only humans have this trait. Compared to humans, other ethnic groups are more content with their current situation and do not want to explore. Of course, this is only true for the Wanxiang Xiantian Shen tribe. As for the rest of the world's creatures, in order to survive, they are generally similar to humans, spending their entire lives struggling to survive. Compared to those at the top of existence, these ethnic groups that struggle to survive are even more terrifying. There are also some, like the Fox tribe, whose intelligence is not even comparable to 90% of humans. Who dares to be careless? You might just find yourself in a tug-of-war with death.

  "Hmm, never mind, let's go take a look at the entrance of Shenlong Valley anyway!"

  No matter how well you plan, it's still better to go to Shenlong Valley in person and explore before coming back.

  After possessing the dragon's bloodline, although it was very thin, due to the existence of the Dragon Valley, the dragon beasts with the dragon's aura in the entire Lian Yao mountain range were all in a high-end position. There were hardly any unopened-eyed monsters that dared to come to Ye Lin's side to cause trouble. Moreover, Ye Lin specially ran to a dog-headed monster at the peak of the refining body level. The dog-headed monster, who used to show its teeth when it saw Ye Lin, turned around and left.

  This is the instinct that the lower-level monsters have cultivated over the years under the high pressure of the Dragon's Den, no matter how weak the dragon beast is, as long as it does not conflict with its interests, it will absolutely not cause trouble if it can avoid it.

  It was precisely because of this that Ye Lin arrived very smoothly at the entrance of Shenlong Valley.

  Shenlong Valley is a very strange place. On the surface, it appears to be a location with two sides facing mountains, no more than 300 zhang high and 3-4 hundred li deep.

  But if you really think it's that simple and recklessly rush in, you'll find that the terror of Shenlong Valley will absolutely shock you.

  "Legend has it that Shenlong Valley is a place of divine wonder, and now it seems that's really true!"

  Ye Lin looked at the divine dragon valley in front of him, which was like an ordinary mountain valley, and sighed in his heart.

  "It is said that Shenlong Valley was born after the ancient dragon's demise, when its internal world cracked and transformed, but it is unknown whether this legend is true."

  It is said that in the ancient times of the demon invasion, the East Sea was a battlefield. At that time, tens of millions of demons invaded the Dragon God Island. According to legend, at that time, most of the powerful warriors on the Dragon God Island had gone out to fight against the demons on the real battlefield, leaving only a small force to guard the island. As a result, the Dragon God Island was devastated. Fortunately, a ten-thousand-zhang dragon suddenly appeared in the sky and fought against tens of millions of demons with its mighty divine power.

  Although the Wan Zhaotian Shenglong was invincible and killed billions of demons, at the same time, the world inside the dragon's body was also broken by a supreme being among the demons, causing it to collapse. If not for the later reinforcements of the Dragon Army, the Dragon Island might have been breached at that time.

  "It is said that when a martial artist cultivates to the highest realm, they can open up a world within their body. Only when this inner world shatters and returns to the origin of the universe, giving birth to a self-contained universe, can one attain the position of Great Luo Immortal. From then on, they will enjoy eternal life and heavenly bliss. Is all of this really true?"

  According to legend, a warrior's cultivation into an immortal is a path of ten thousand hardships and difficulties. The most important thing is to take the world that has been cultivated within one's body back to its original state of primordial chaos, and then use boundless great power to open up the sky and earth.

  However, chaos is the source of all things, and it's easy to get confused. If you want to break through, it's like making a dream come true, which is fundamentally impossible.

  It was true that regarding this legend, in the past, Ye Lin's heart had always had a bit of disbelief, but having seen the current Shen Long Valley, Ye Lin wavered again.

  "In the legend of past lives, in the distant past, there was a Pan Gu Tian Wang who wanted to use his infinite power to break through the chaos and achieve the great Luo Xian Dao. As a result, as soon as heaven and earth were formed, he was struck down by evil spirits from outside the realm, destroying his physical body and causing him to be reborn. Could it be that all of this is true?"

  About the existence of immortals, Ye Lin had also often heard about it in his past life. According to legend, Zhang Sanfeng, who created Tai Chi, achieved the great Luo immortal position and was ranked among the immortals. As for the legends about Pangu, they were also well-known in his past life, and many people even worshiped the all-powerful Pangu god at home, hoping that Pangu would be reborn!

  "There are also legends that humans were created by the great goddess Nüwa, which is a widely spread legend among people. However, because immortals and gods have disappeared, people can no longer see their faces, and therefore no one is willing to believe it anymore. Even in the end, even oneself who has reached the unity of heaven and man was called an immortal at that time."

  The unity of heaven and man is just a spiritual realm, which does not greatly enhance one's power, but rather makes it more conducive to understanding the laws of the Heavenly Way.

  "It's said that Shenlong Valley is full of unpredictable dangers, and this exit is the safest. I'll believe it when I see it."

  Ye Lin dispelled his dream of becoming an immortal after that. The Heavenly Revelation Magical Eye gazed into the Divine Dragon Valley, and in an instant, he was frightened out of his wits.

  "My god, this is too terrifying!"

  Ye Lin brought the Purple Extreme Heaven Fire aura into his Divine Eye, and instantly the light of the Divine Eye swept towards the Dragon Valley. Within three thousand miles, the entire Dragon Valley was filled with countless peak-level cultivators. Further in, within nine thousand miles, it became even more terrifying, with fearsome existences at the Refining Stage appearing one after another, possibly due to space being distorted, all these fearsome existences were only a few meters apart. At a glance, within a thousand miles, they were densely packed, truly like dragons flying and demons dancing in the sky.

  After the breakthrough of the Mystic Eye, Ye Lin discovered that if he introduced the Purple Extreme Heaven Fire into it, he could open up the Mystic Eye to its maximum extent, but at the cost of the rapid consumption of the Purple Extreme Heaven Fire.

  Wow!!

  As Ye Lin gazed deeper, a vast and mighty aura suddenly swept in like an ocean, causing Ye Lin's spiritual sea to churn violently, and a mouthful of blood was spat out.

  "What kind of terrifying existence is this?"

  Ever since Ye Lin obtained the Mystic Eye, he had been invincible, and no existence could escape his gaze. Even if he couldn't see through them, no one noticed, but just now, someone actually discovered it and even launched an attack.

  "Not good."

  A majestic aura burst forth from the depths of Shenlong Valley, charging straight for him with an overbearing momentum.

  "This is, an existence within Shenlong Valley, has been discovered."

  Ye Lin didn't dare to hesitate anymore and rushed into the Divine Dragon Valley at the first opportunity.

  He has the Dragon Bloodline aura, and only by entering the Divine Dragon Valley can he truly have a slight chance of getting rid of that terrifying aura.

  Everyone, I'm sorry again for the update delay. As I've mentioned before, within a month, three relatives from my grandfather and grandmother's generation have passed away. Honestly, as a younger generation member, there are some things that are beyond my control!
