Chapter 109 The Great Sage's Last Words
"Something terrible has happened at Wanyuan Mountain!"
"All the geniuses are trapped in the Ten Thousand Mountain Range, and they may all be wiped out!"
"What? Really? How is that possible!"
"It's absolutely true. All the sect leaders from the major powers are about to be mobilized. I heard that one of the Zhu family's patriarchs has brought a sacred artifact with him!"
The news spread like wildfire, shocking the world. It was a bombshell for the entire northern border region.
"I heard it was Tu Tianlong who set this up. This man is truly wicked!"
"He obtained the dragon blood, and he was able to kill Li Chengyuan, the protector of the Li family, in the Wanyuan Mountain Range. It is very likely that he is the one."
"I never expected there to be such a ruthless person in the Northern Frontier. However, having provoked so many powerful forces this time, he probably won't survive!"
Everyone is paying attention!
Meanwhile, powerful forces such as the Qin family, Zhu family, Li family, Sun Moon Sect, Sword Sect, and Zhan family all sent extraordinary experts to rush to the Ten Thousand Yuan Mountain Range to carry out the rescue!
At this point, everyone became anxious.
……
And this moment.
In a dark and secluded passageway.
The ancient steps were actually cast from bones; every step felt like a journey to the underworld.
Li Lan proceeded cautiously, pausing for a long time after each step to carefully discern the hidden dangers on both sides.
He brought his Great Completion Spiritual Eye to its fullest potential, and at the same time, the jade ruyi in his hand also provided some guidance.
"Eek, it's dangerous here, let's go out..."
The little dragon, clutching the jar, followed behind, its big eyes showing some worry.
"You're not afraid of me anymore?"
Li Lan couldn't help but speak up.
The last time they met, the little dragon was wary of him, but this time it took the initiative to help him, and now it seems to be quite close to him.
"From today onwards, you are my protector. Your name is inscribed on the stone tablet. If you dare to betray me, hmph, you will be annihilated by the karma of my dragon clan."
It is very confident.
Li Lan was taken aback. A protector of the Dragon Clan?
What's going on here...?
"Our True Dragon Clan has also suffered many annihilation calamities. Therefore, in each generation, there are two dragon princes. One dragon prince stays in the clan for training, while the other dragon prince must grow up outside the clan. This dragon prince who is outside the clan will be assigned an invincible protector among the human race..."
Long Bao explained earnestly, "The protectors can obtain the true blood of the dragon race. In exchange for this karmic debt, they must protect the outer dragon sons of my dragon race. Hmph! How come you left your name on the stone tablet without knowing anything?"
There seemed to be some disdain in its big eyes.
This guardian seems a bit unreliable...
Li Lan suddenly asked, "Can I back out now?"
Longbao paused for a moment, then ground its little dragon teeth and glared at him angrily.
I was even disliked?!
Seeing Long Bao's expression, Li Lan couldn't help but smile and said, "Just kidding."
"Where is this place? Have you been here before?"
He inquired about important matters.
Long Bao then said, "This place... used to be a secret place for our dragon clan. I don't remember clearly. I only remember that once, all the clan members entered this place and never came out again."
"It's dangerous... You need to hurry, my jar won't last much longer."
Li Lan nodded. He glanced around at the gray mist that occasionally drifted in. It seemed that even a trace of it would cause one to fall into an indescribable state, just like those old immortals outside...
He was able to get in smoothly thanks to the pottery jar in Longbao's hand!
When Li Lan first saw it, he thought that the inconspicuous pottery jar was just a flowerpot used to plant Dao Yuan grass. Now he realized that this thing was actually a treasure that could definitely block the invasion of gray mist.
It seems that Longbao's ability to move freely within the Wanyuan Mountain Range might also be related to this object.
"Hurry up!"
Longbao urged him somewhat disdainfully, "Who's protecting whom anyway? Why do I have to protect him too?"
The more it thought about it, the more it felt something was wrong.
Helpless, Li Lan had no choice but to walk quickly forward.
"Huh? There's a corpse here!"
Suddenly, Li Lan discovered a corpse in the transparent stone wall ahead!
The corpse was an old man with silver hair and a white beard, possessing an imposing presence. His face remained fixed in a fierce glare. On the stone wall beside him, a line of small characters was inscribed:
“Mingting Immortal Lord Dongxuanbai explored the secrets of the True Dragon, but was trapped and died here. He sealed himself in the source, and did not transform into a strange ghost to harm future generations.”
Immortal Lord Mingting!
Li Lan's heart stirred slightly. Back then, when Mingzun led the saints to the source to quell the chaos, he left behind a force. However, later, problems arose in the Wanyuan Mountain Range. This Immortal Lord Dong Xuanbai must have entered the Wanyuan Mountain Range at that time to search for the truth, but he was unable to leave.
He sealed himself away on his deathbed, which makes him a worthy and respectable person.
Li Lan continued walking forward, and before long, he saw the remains of several more powerful figures!
"Xiao Tianmie, the second-ranking official of the Ming Court, fought against a strange spirit, but was defeated and died. He was sealed here."
One of the middle-aged men, even though he was sealed in the source, still had a radiant body. His body was a kind of magic weapon. However, his eyes were closed and he was filled with despair!
Ya Zun!
In the realm of immortals, anyone who is even remotely associated with the word "venerable" is an extraordinary figure!
In fact, if other people familiar with the history of the immortal realm were to come and see these names, they would surely be astonished.
They were all once powerful figures who commanded respect in their respective regions!
However, they all failed and sealed themselves away in the source.
"A calamity of annihilation and destruction looms ahead! Those who approach, retreat immediately! Retreat immediately! Retreat immediately!"
Taking a few more steps forward, Li Lan sensed a familiar aura. The small characters on the stone wall must have been left by the Great Sage Luo Tian!
When the Great Sage Luo Tian arrived at this place, he must have seen something extremely terrifying, and thus used it to warn future generations.
But he went in himself.
Following this line of smaller print, however, was another person's note:
"Sword Saint Dugu Yibai, having failed to find the True Dragon for a battle, now sees the words left by the Great Sage Luo Tian and decides to enter and explore."
Sword Saint Dugu Yibai!
Even though Li Lan was ignorant about the Immortal Realm, he had heard of the deeds of this Sword Saint!
This sword saint was a celestial saint from the Sword Sect, a super power in the Northern Frontier. He once overpowered the entire Northern Frontier and was invincible, creating a legend and myth!
However, this swordsman disappeared quietly at the peak of his life, becoming an unsolved mystery in the northern frontier.
Unexpectedly, this sword saint also arrived here!
Moreover, the words left by this sword saint truly revealed a heroic spirit. He came here... to find the True Dragon for a battle. He didn't find it, yet he still dared to enter the warning area of the Great Sage of Luo Tian.
"Should we still go in? It might be really dangerous inside!"
Longbao was a little uneasy.
"Wait for me here."
Li Lan took a deep breath, then carved the words below Dugu Yibai:
"Human Li Lan has arrived here and is determined to go inside and explore!"
He didn't know if he would ever return, so he left behind a name.
"Eek...you really want to go?"
Seeing this, the little dragon said with some concern, "How about I give you a leaf? Aww, this is what I need to become an emperor in the future... Never mind, I'll give you one!"
Its little paws reached out to pluck the leaves of the Daoyuan grass.
Li Lan was startled upon seeing this and quickly stopped it, saying:
"No need, I have dragon blood in my body, its effects are no worse than Dao Yuan Grass!"
If the dragon blood cannot bring Li Lan back, then wasting the Dao Yuan Grass will be of no use.
"Hey, can you please not go in... you'll die if you go in."
Longbao spoke again.
Li Lan thought for a moment and said:
"If I can't get out, take a few source stones and go to the Thousand Rivers Land in Tianzhen Prefecture. Pay your respects outside the Source Mountain, and perhaps someone will help you protect your way."
He sighed. If the cat intervened, it would definitely become Long Bao's true protector, and Long Bao would have nothing to worry about for the rest of his life. However, the cat was very particular about cause and effect, and it was uncertain whether she would help Long Bao without a reason.
That's the only way.
He then passed on his many unique skills to the cat, including the Great Dao Eye Technique that the cat had taught him and the three great battle techniques of the Mingzun, saying, "I don't know if you can cultivate these techniques. If you can't, find someone to pass them on to me in the future."
"Also, these things are all for you."
He gave all the spirit stones and other resources he had obtained from Li Chengyuan to Long Bao.
Then, he stepped into the darkness ahead!
"Yeah!"
Longbao subconsciously raised its paw, trying to stop Li Lan, and its big eyes were inexplicably glistening.
Since its birth, it had lived alone in these mountains as a dragon. Finally, after much difficulty, it had found its protector...
This protector is weak and doesn't seem very reliable... but he's actually not bad.
"You mustn't die!"
Longbao sat there obediently, waiting.
