Chapter 18: The Dragon King's Vigorous Dragon Soul Sword

  His mind was racing, and he couldn't speak. Although he was bold and reckless by nature, he wasn't one to not recognize good intentions. Just as he was thinking of a way to brush it off, the ancient dragon soul continued, "You don't have to rush to refuse, we're not forcing you to help us take revenge. Think about how formidable Nezha and his companions are, dominating the three realms for millions of years, almost invincible when united. Even several dozen of our brothers fell here, let alone a human who has just started cultivating like you."

  Mu Yuan was overjoyed upon hearing this, and couldn't help but want to rush up and give the person a big hug, praising them for being able to understand people's intentions so well. He chuckled to himself and said, "Senior is right, I'm just a low-ranking cultivator who has only just reached the third layer of Qi Refining, and in the mortal realm, I have always been careful not to draw attention to myself, fearing that if I'm not careful, others will take notice of me. Let alone taking on this shocking feud for you!"

  "Longhun hummed a smile, with a hint of desolation. 'I'll pass on my divine abilities and grant you the treasure, but not because I want to make it easy for you! You must promise me that if you gain the power in the future, you will take revenge for us!'

  Muyuan replied immediately, "If the junior can subdue those great gods with divine power in the future, he will naturally not shrink back. The top priority is still to protect his life and cultivate!"

  The dragon's soul was silent for a long time, and the wood element waited quietly. After a while, the dragon's soul spoke up, "For thousands of years, I have gathered the essence of dozens of brothers' souls and bones to create an unparalleled divine sword. Today, those who entered the dragon tomb are not just you alone. In other dragon tombs, there are also several young cultivators who unintentionally broke open the seal curse. However, their method of cultivating energy is not as compatible with my dragon tribe as yours. If I'm not mistaken, you should be practicing the Five Elements Great Way. The person who created this technique was capable of sweeping across the three realms and killing Nezha would have been easy. Unfortunately, it seems like you've only cultivated two of the five elements, one of which is the Wood Element that hides the dragon, perfectly matching my tribe's law!"

  Mu Yuan listened with curiosity and asked in a low voice, "I wonder what is the surname and name of that great man who created the Five Elements Way?"

  A hint of surprise crept into Long Huan's tone, "You cultivate this technique, don't you know?"

  Mu Yuan sighed and said, "The Five Elements Tao has long been scattered like wind and clouds. Now each Tao is independent, I only know that the Longevity Palace Ancestor of the Wood Tao is the Flying Dragon Ancestor, but I don't know about the others!"

  Longhun burst out laughing, quite pleased with himself. "Who would have thought? The world is ever-changing, and people's fortunes rise and fall. Even he, the creator of this path, couldn't escape this fate. And as for others... You'll find out about these things sooner or later, but I won't tell you now. If you can cultivate the Five Elements Great Way to a high level, that would be enough to make you proud and contemptuous of all realms. Calculating your potential, it's the greatest - this is also why I chose you and gave up on others!"

  Mu Yuan smiled, originally he had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude towards the other three techniques. Cultivating the Longevity Technique was the easiest way to achieve the Primordial Spirit. Although the Tide of Life was mysterious and unpredictable, it was full of obstacles on the path to longevity, and its thickness was lost. But now, listening to what the thousand-year-old ghost, Shenlong's Soul, said, he highly praised the Five Elements Way, and his heart couldn't help but yearn for it.

  In the midst of my reverie, I saw a dragon's body in front of me, with a wave of light rippling and shimmering, a flash of divine light gathering and dispersing, transforming into a four-foot-long sword with a sharp blade, swallowing and spitting out, flashing and shaking, resonating like a dragon's roar, soaring to the sky, filling the room with lightning flashes. Finally, it slowly fell in front of me, shrinking into a ball of iridescent light, spinning and rotating, exuding an air of profound and mysterious desolation, more solemn and ancient than those rusty divine weapons unearthed from ancient tombs.

  "This is the Dragon Soul Sword, gathering the essence and bones of dozens of my dragon clan juniors. It can be assembled and dispersed at will, and even if it were placed among the ancient gods, it would still be able to rank among the best! Compared to my Four Seas' number one heavy treasure, the Dinghai Divine Needle Iron, it is not inferior in any way! It is also the crystallization of my hard work over several thousand years. Today, I will grant it to you, so use it well and don't waste my painstaking efforts!"

  Mu Yuan was overjoyed, and although he had not yet figured out the subtleties of its uses, that sharp and unmatched sword intent had already come rushing forth, like a mountain flood or a hurricane, vast and unstoppable. It stirred up the Longevity True Qi within his body, making it want to move about wildly. The Jia Mu essence in his Dan Tian was excited beyond measure, the Green Dragon phantom let out a long, mournful howl, and the Chao Xi True Qi was ruthlessly suppressed!

  Not having yet obtained the Dragon Soul Sword, a misty aura suddenly burst into his mind, and in the sea of consciousness, a large piece of complex and mysterious text appeared. Mu Yuan slightly probed it and felt that it was profound and abstruse, all being tadpole-like seal characters, knowing that it was a supreme technique, waiting quietly for the Dragon Soul to explain!

  "This is the supreme heart technique of my dragon clan, the Dragon King's movement, it's indeed wonderful. Unfortunately, I learned too many things back then and didn't focus on cultivating this skill wholeheartedly. As for the others, even if I don't pass them down to you, it doesn't matter. This was created by the first ancestor of my dragon clan since the beginning of time, it's not under the Five Elements Way, forget it, just go!"

  Mù Yuán obtained the divine martial arts manual, and his heart was filled with joy. He thought to himself that this trip had not been in vain. The Dragon Soul Sword was absorbed into his dantian, merging with his True Qi of Longevity to form a single entity. A radiant glow danced around him, swirling and surging, as threads of electric light entwined it, connecting with the hundred meridians and orifices, giving Mù Yuán an instant sensation of swelling energy throughout his body. His every movement seemed filled with boundless power. Before he could even express gratitude, the scene before him shifted once more. In an instant, winds howled, clouds billowed, thunder and lightning joined forces, and a deafening crash shook his very soul. He felt himself lifted lightly by the whirlwind, sent soaring into the skies, only to come crashing down heavily afterwards!

  The yellow sand flew everywhere, choking Mu Yuan into a severe cough. He cursed silently and struggled to his feet. Two figures rushed up to him, helping him up - it was Mo Xue and Chu Yunfei. Mo Xue asked urgently, "What happened? Why are you in such a state?"

  He looked himself up and down, his whole body was charred black by the lightning, his hair stood on end. He let out a bitter laugh, and with a wave of his hand, a stream of water appeared, washing away the dirt and restoring his pale complexion. When he looked at his hand again, he found that it was holding a piece of dragon spine over a foot long, he didn't know when it had been put there. After checking inside himself, he discovered that the Dragon King's movement technique was still in his mind, but the Dragon Soul Sword had sunk down and was motionless, coiled up in his dantian with the Long Life True Qi forming a whirlpool around it. A dragon soul with bared teeth and claws lay dormant on top of it, which was actually the Jia Mu Dragon Spirit transformed from his own Long Life Secret!

  "This dragon spine must have been the last thing that Old Dragon Soul left in my hands to obstruct people's vision and prevent me from becoming a target of criticism. How clever! This time I entered the tomb, it was under everyone's watchful eyes, if I said I didn't take anything out, who would believe me!"

  "No big deal, no big deal, somehow I just went in and even pulled out this piece of bone, guess I was lucky!" Mu Yuan chuckled and brushed it off, the three people who had been blasting the grave earlier were staring at them, saying so with a hint of self-mockery.

  At this moment, a loud rumbling sound was heard, and all the dragon tombs in the desert shook violently, with intense tremors, and massive dust rose to cover the sky. Five or six rays of light flew out from several of the tombs, looking quite disheveled, falling into the dusty air. However, each person's hand grasped something - some held rotating light balls, others held dragon bones like Mu Yuan's, as well as dragon horns and scales. Not a single person left empty-handed; everyone obtained something.

  Mu Yuan took a glance and saw that these people were all cultivators who had watched and pondered those talismans in the passageway, and his own acquired dragon spine bone was considered mid-to-high grade among them. He didn't think much of it, since he had already obtained the greatest benefits, these minor things weren't even in his eyes.

  Seeing so many dragon bones, all the cultivators present were slightly moved, but after all, they were all orthodox disciples and didn't dare to take action. Unlike last time when Chu Yunfei obtained it by luck and was an evil sect member who could act recklessly, these people were all openly and fairly taken from the Dragon's Tomb by their own abilities and luck, having nothing to do with others!

  After the Qi Refiners emerged from the Dragon Tombs, dozens of dragon tombs rumbled incessantly. The countless talismans inscribed on them suddenly shone brightly, and a blood-red glow burst into the sky, rolling thick clouds gathered above the sky, like heavy lead, emitting a vast and oppressive pressure!

  The endless desert began to crack, like a drifting continent, the scorching magma burst out in an instant, and the flames engulfed the sky. The scorching heat swept across the land, oppressing the mind.

  "It's going to collapse here, leave quickly!" Mu Yuan instantly knew that Longhun had fulfilled his years of obsession, and this place was finally going to be destroyed!

  Dozens of divine dragon bodies were forged into the Dragon Soul Sword, leaving only a few dragon bones and claws scattered around. The Valley of the Broken Dragons was now devoid of any coveted treasures. Mu Yuan pulled Mo Xue along with Chu Yunfei, and they swiftly made their way to the exit on foot, riding the wind.
