663: Chapter 663 Senichi (28)
The Black Dragon's massive head slowly lowered.
The crimson light in the dragon bone's eye sockets dissipated bit by bit, finally turning into two smudges of dark-golden fading light.
The next moment, several fragmented and intermittent thoughts entered directly into Qin Yun's Sea of Consciousness.
"Master token..."
"Heavenly Dragon... not yet destroyed..."
"Must not... desecrate..."
"Burial ground... returns to the master..."
"Ten thousand Dragons... heed the command..."
The information was chaotic, yet it exploded like a clap of thunder in Qin Yun's heart.
He instantly understood everything.
An ordinary dragon token corresponds to one dragon corpse; this was the most fundamental rule here.
Senior Brother Duan Changfeng's secret token should correspond to this Black Dragon.
Logically speaking, his own heavenly dragon token shouldn't have any effect on it.
Yet, it responded.
The only explanation was that the heavenly dragon token in his hand could respond to all dragon corpses.
Although this Black Dragon skeleton corresponded to Senior Brother Duan Changfeng, it had to respond in front of the higher-level master token.
Qin Yun's heart shook.
He finally realized that what he held in his hand was not just an "admission ticket" to this place.
But rather, one of the highest-level keys to the entire Ancient Dragon Burial Ground.
At the exact moment he realized this, the Black Dragon's massive skeletal body slowly bowed down, its giant dragon head almost touching the ground, as if showing respect to him, or rather, to the master token in his hand.
Immediately after, that dark-golden remnant soul rose from the skeleton, transforming into a pitch-black dragon claw imprint in midair.
Aura of destruction, tearing, and suppression intertwined upon that imprint, seemingly capable of tearing space apart.
Immortal technique: Black Dragon True Body.
A stream of information, along with the dragon claw imprint, directly branded itself into Qin Yun's Sea of Consciousness.
This turned out to be a pure body Dao immortal technique, incredibly overbearing. It perfectly made up for his current lack of an immortal body and close-combat methods.
Qin Yun suppressed the shock in his heart and absorbed the immortal technique imprint into his body.
As for that Black Dragon skeleton, after offering its Legacy, it let out a long, sorrowful wail, and its massive skeletal body began to shatter and weather inch by inch.
Large chunks of dragon bone disintegrated, turning into pure specks of energy light, interspersed with many immortal materials emitting an astonishing aura.
With a wave of his hand, Qin Yun gathered everything into his bag.
Rank Three immortal material: Black Dragon Reverse Scale Fragment, which could be used to upgrade and refine immortal techniques.
Rank Three immortal material: World-Destroying Dragon Bone Powder, which could strengthen the Cultivation of offensive immortal techniques.
Rank Three immortal material: Black Dragon Heart-Blood Crystal, which could temper body techniques.
In addition, there was a large amount of Rank Two immortal materials, such as Dragon Vein Sunk Iron, Nether Dragon Tendon Thread, and so on.
What caught Qin Yun's attention the most was a piece of mysterious black dragon horn debris, only the size of a fingernail. Although it was only a Rank Three damaged material that could not be directly refined, the dao rhyme contained within it was extremely ancient.
This harvest instantly made his Cultivation resources abundant.
"If the heavenly dragon token can correspond to all dragon corpses, then the Ancient Dragon Burial Ground, which is a dangerous place for others, is a place for me to acquire resources."
Qin Yun's heart burned with excitement, but he quickly calmed down again.
The dragon corpses here all have remnant thoughts, and they might not all submit as easily as this Black Dragon. If he encountered a more powerful existence, with his current strength, he could still suffer a backlash.
He organized the information in his mind, gaining a deeper understanding of the heavenly dragon token.
An ordinary secret token corresponds to one dragon corpse.
The heavenly dragon master token can command all Dragons and even intercept others' Opportunities.
But he vaguely felt that the master token itself should also have a Dragon that it truly corresponds to.
The Heavenly Dragon.
What the Old Madman wanted him to "protect" was very likely that legendary Heavenly Dragon skeleton.
...
At the same time, in another area of the Ancient Dragon Burial Ground.
Wei Xiu, who possessed the Immortal King Body, stood with his hands behind his back in front of a mountain of white bones.
In his hand, he actually held a... heavenly dragon token.
In front of him, a silver-white dragon skeleton slowly lowered its head, offering its Legacy.
"So that's how it is."
Wei Xiu looked at the master token in his hand and smiled.
"The so-called master token not only allows entry into the ancient land but can also command the remains of all Dragons."
The follower behind him said excitedly, "Young Lord, if this token can truly affect all dragon corpses, then the Opportunities in this ancient land..."
Wei Xiu waved his hand, interrupting him.
His gaze went past these ordinary dragon skeletons before him, looking toward the deepest part of the ancient land.
"The ordinary dragon corpses are for you."
"Since all Dragons will respond, then the true Heavenly Dragon will definitely respond as well."
"The other Dragons can be abandoned, but the Heavenly Dragon must be found."
On the other side, Senior Brother Duan Changfeng, who was fleeing in a wretched state, finally stopped in a hidden valley.
Just as he was preparing to heal his wounds, the dragon token in his hand suddenly dimmed, and the connection between him and that Black Dragon was completely severed.
"What's going on?"
A follower hurriedly asked.
Senior Brother Duan Changfeng stared fixedly at the dim token in his hand, his face turning ashen, his voice low and suppressed.
"My dragon corpse is gone."
Recalling the abnormality when the Black Dragon was chasing Qin Yun earlier, a thought rose in his mind.
Qin Yun was not dead.
He had also taken the Black Dragon Opportunity that should have belonged to him.
"What right does he have?"
Senior Brother Duan Changfeng couldn't figure it out, and then, he thought of the heavenly dragon token in Qin Yun's hand.
"The master token... So that's it!"
At this moment, Senior Brother Duan Changfeng's killing intent toward Qin Yun reached its Peak.
"Find him!"
He roared at his few remaining followers.
"I want the heavenly dragon token!"
"And I want the Black Dragon's Opportunity as well!"
"Senior Brother Duan, but Chi Li is also..."
"This is the Ancient Dragon Burial Ground."
Senior Brother Duan Changfeng interrupted him, his eyes cold. "People outside cannot enter. This is the real place for killing."
...
Qin Yun put away all the immortal materials and was about to leave this place.
The heavenly dragon token in his hand grew slightly warm again, vaguely pointing toward the depths of the ancient land.
"That should be where the Heavenly Dragon is."
But just as he was about to set off, several figures rushed over from a distance, completely blocking his path.
The leader was none other than Senior Brother Duan Changfeng, who had returned.
At a glance, he saw the Black Dragon aura that had not yet been fully concealed on Qin Yun, as well as that powerful immortal technique dao rhyme, and anger instantly surged in his heart.
"Did you take the Black Dragon's Opportunity?"
Senior Brother Duan Changfeng's voice was ice-cold.
"That was my Dragon."
Qin Yun looked at him with a calm expression.
"If you call out to it, does it answer?"
These words made Senior Brother Duan Changfeng's expression extremely unsightly.
He stopped wasting words and directly exposed it.
"As expected, it's because of your heavenly dragon token!"
"Hand it over!"
Senior Brother Duan Changfeng said harshly, "I can give you a decent death."
Before his voice could fade, the followers behind him had already dispersed, setting up a sealing formation.
Senior Brother Duan Changfeng himself activated the Jinque Xuanyang Immortal Body, and the pressure of a Peak True Immortal pressed down toward Qin Yun.
This time, he had true killing intent.
Qin Yun's face darkened slightly; he knew very well that there was still a significant gap between him and Senior Brother Duan Changfeng.
He had no immortal body, the immortal materials had just been obtained and there was no time to convert them into combat power, and he had not fully mastered his newly acquired immortal technique.
Fighting head-on, the chances of winning were not high.
He did not linger in the fight. Using the Light of the Epoch, he shattered the sealing node of one of the followers, then pushed the Fixed Immortal Travel to its limit, forcefully tearing open a spatial rift and escaping with his injuries.
"Want to run?"
Senior Brother Duan Changfeng sneered and led his men in hot pursuit.
Qin Yun rushed into a dense forest of dragon bones. The dragon pressure here was chaotic and Divine Sense was restricted, making it the most suitable place to shake off pursuers.
He operated the Nine Techniques to their limit, traveling with the Void Method, evading with the Fate Method, identifying formations with the Dao Method, and seeking survival with the Luck Method, repeatedly avoiding dead ends.
Senior Brother Duan Changfeng grew more and more alarmed as he pursued from behind. He couldn't understand why someone who didn't even have an immortal body could last so long in such a perilous place.
Meanwhile, during his escape, Qin Yun became even more certain that this heavenly dragon token was by no means an ordinary master token.
Whenever he was driven into a corner, the token would faintly point toward a path of survival, as if guiding him closer to a certain place.
Ahead, a pitch-black Dragon Bone Canyon appeared.
The heavenly dragon token suddenly became burning hot and vibrated incessantly.
Qin Yun's heart stirred. The moment he stepped into the canyon, all the surrounding dragon bones actually vibrated in unison.
A low and ancient dragon roar echoed from deep underground.
Senior Brother Duan Changfeng pursued to the outside of the canyon but was forced to stop by this dragon pressure, his face changing drastically.
"What... what kind of Dragon is this?"
Standing deep in the canyon, Qin Yun looked up into the darkness ahead.
There, the outline of an incomparably massive dragon shadow loomed indistinctly.
Holding the burning hot heavenly dragon token, Qin Yun finally realized.
He might have already approached the Dragon that the Old Madman truly wanted him to protect.
