Chapter 1641: Ancient Mystery, A Snake!

In the middle of these two groups of Cultivators, there was a huge Spirit Stone platform. This Spirit Stone emitted rich Spiritual Qi, and from a distance, it appeared to be nearly a thousand zhang in size. Such a massive Spirit Stone looked like a mountain, extremely rare.

Wang Lin, having cultivated the Dao until now, had rarely seen such a large Spirit Stone. Although Spirit Stones were already useless to him, his expression grew even stranger upon seeing it.

On top of that Spirit Stone platform, a crimson Dragon was coiled. This Dragon was not large; it lay lazily on the Spirit Stone, its Dragon eyes gleaming. As it was carried forward by hundreds of Cultivators, it occasionally raised a Dragon claw, broke off a piece of Spirit Stone, threw it into its mouth, crunched it down, and swallowed it, looking very pleased.

"Immortal Dragon is mighty… Immortal Dragon reveals the Dao…" The shouts from the Cultivators made the Dragon feel extremely comfortable.

"Hmph, if I hadn't been trapped in that damned place for so many years, this old Dragon would have lived better in this Immortal Cave Realm than outside. Damned Vermilion Bird, damned Immortal Venerable, and that damned Venerable Master… Luckily, I escaped. This current life is my ideal life… How wonderful, life is so beautiful… This makes me recall the music of my homeland; I can't help but sing it loudly…" The crimson Dragon looked very smug. It broke off another piece of Spirit Stone with its Dragon claw with a bang and threw it into its mouth.

"Little Dragon girl under Flying Snow Mountain, do you know how much I miss you? Your slender whiskers, your graceful body, and your captivating eyes…" This crimson Dragon, perhaps too happy, hummed a tune while crunching on the Spirit Stone.

At the same time, its Dragon tail seemed to beat rhythmically against the Spirit Stone with its humming, creating rumbling sounds. The more than a thousand Cultivators around all showed helpless expressions. To them, the song was extremely mournful, without any pleasantness. Whenever this happened, they could only loudly shout those mighty words to counteract the terrible singing.

"Immortal Dragon reveals the Dao… Immortal Dragon is mighty…"

This crimson Dragon was precisely the Blazing Dragon that had its blood drained by the Second Generation Vermilion Bird in the Land of Falling. This Dragon was later given to Wang Lin by the Second Generation Vermilion Bird, but the Blazing Dragon had escaped beforehand. Coupled with the opening of the Ancient Tomb at the time, Wang Lin temporarily stopped bothering with this Dragon.

Now, several hundred years later, just as Wang Lin was almost forgetting about the matter, this pitiful Blazing Dragon appeared within his Divine Sense.

Almost the instant these more than a thousand Cultivators escorted the Dragon here, the Divine Senses of the Primordial Stars mighty figures gathered around Wang Lin, following his gaze, all converged in that direction.

The Blazing Dragon's mouth still made crunching sounds from chewing the Spirit Stone, and its proud song was still echoing, but at this moment, the Dragon suddenly trembled. The crunching sound immediately quieted, and the song abruptly stopped.

It blinked, its Dragon eyes showing confusion, but this was quickly replaced by terror, and its body shook violently.

"This… what the Dragon's grandma! Why are there so many Divine Senses here? Damn it, why are they all gathering their Divine Sense here for no reason?!"

After a moment of愣, this foolish Dragon immediately let out a whimpering roar.

"Retreat, retreat, go back quickly!!" In its roar, this foolish Dragon's mind trembled. It had always carefully developed its own forces, avoiding provoking those it thought it couldn't afford to offend, fearing being caught again. Even when going out, it appeared arrogant, but in reality, the routes it took were carefully chosen and very cautious.

It had been carried along this path more than ten times, never encountering any danger. And with some of its unique Divine Abilities, it could conceal its aura, making it difficult to find unless deliberately sought out.

Normally, if it encountered Cultivators inferior to it, this Dragon would unleash its Immortal might, directly intimidating them into becoming a member of its self-created Immortal Dragon Dao.

But today, it never expected to run head-on into so many converging Divine Senses halfway through its journey. Under those Divine Senses, it was so scared that its mind trembled. Many of them were powerful enough to make it continuously swallow large gulps of Dragon saliva.

Its Dragon heart pounded faster and faster. The Blazing Dragon leaped up, flying into the starry sky to escape quickly, but seeing its disciples around looking at it with fear and confusion, the Blazing Dragon struggled, forcibly suppressed its fear, carefully controlled its body, and slowly landed back on the Spirit Stone platform, clearing its throat a few times.

"This Immortal Dragon just remembered there's a pot of Medicinal Pills being refined. No more playing outside; quickly carry me back to Alchemy!"

Upon hearing this, the more than a thousand Cultivators around, despite their continued suspicion and unease, obeyed the Dragon's command. They immediately changed direction, carrying the huge Spirit Stone, and slowly retreated.

However, the Spirit Stone was too large, so even when leaving, their speed was very slow. The Blazing Dragon on the Spirit Stone was anxious. It vaguely felt the Divine Senses, after converging on it, contained a burning heat. It also sadly discovered that as its Spirit Stone moved, those Divine Senses actually followed, locking onto it.

"Damn it, hurry up, hurry up! If you're any slower, this Dragon will swallow all of you!" After saying that, it was still a bit uneasy and quickly added another sentence.

"That pot of Medicinal Pills of mine is very precious…"

In this nervous state, amidst the pounding fear, the Blazing Dragon dared not act too abruptly. It pondered that if it suddenly flew away, it might cause a disturbance among those with Divine Sense. This matter must not be rushed; it needed to be calm and composed.

"Dragon Immortal, you are a Dragon Immortal, you must be calm… It's no big deal, just pretend you didn't see them…" This foolish Dragon constantly encouraged itself, trembling as it feigned ignorance, but it was truly bad at this. Not pretending would have been fine, but now that it did, everything was revealed in its expression.

Slowly, as they gradually moved away, until tens of thousands of zhang later, those previously gathered Divine Senses, to the foolish Dragon's inner cheers, departed one by one.

It was as if the appearance of this Dragon was just an accident to them, and now having lost interest, they all retracted their Divine Sense. For the Blazing Dragon, this was a narrow escape from death, a huge surprise.

It let out a heavy sigh of relief inwardly and made up its mind: it wouldn't come out for ten years after returning, and it would never take this route again. This path was too terrifying!

But just as it breathed a sigh of relief, the more than a thousand Cultivators, who had been silent for a while, not knowing what had happened and feeling very panicked, to curry favor with the Blazing Dragon, someone started, and soon all of them began to roar with all their might.

"Immortal Dragon reveals the Dao, believe in our Dao, and avoid the disaster of world destruction! Immortal Dragon is mighty…"

"Immortal Dragon reveals the Dao, believe and become disciples! Lead us to the Supreme Immortal Realm! Immortal Dragon is mighty…"

The moment these sounds appeared, a powerful Divine Sense suddenly surged from behind the group, carrying an overwhelming pressure that almost scared the Blazing Dragon out of its wits.

"Mighty… mighty my ass!! All of you shut up!!" The Blazing Dragon roared, tears seemingly about to fall from its eyes. It had thought it escaped this calamity, but it never expected that these people's shouts would attract a Divine Sense that made it tremble.

Those words were its own invention; usually, they sounded very comfortable, but now they sounded like funeral dirges, making the Blazing Dragon roar in indignant grievance.

After roaring, the Blazing Dragon quickly turned around, bowing repeatedly towards the back with an almost tearful expression.

"Hehe, hehe… Apologies, apologies, I'm leaving now. These little ones don't know how to speak. How could this little Dragon be mighty? And I'm not an Immortal or anything; I'm just a snake, yes, just a snake… I just happen to look a bit like a Dragon, hehe, hehe…" The Blazing Dragon's body trembled, and even its words became incoherent.

"Hehe, hehe, I won't disturb you Seniors gathering here. You all go about your business; no need to mind me. I can leave by myself… No need to see me off…" The Blazing Dragon trembled, and as it spoke, it even abandoned the Spirit Stone platform, flying up and quickly fleeing backward.

But just as the Blazing Dragon was speeding backward, its body suddenly paused again. This time, it was truly on the verge of tears. In front of it, a white-robed figure appeared, with white hair flowing. Wang Lin stepped out, a half-smile on his face, and glanced at the Blazing Dragon.

"It's you!!" The Blazing Dragon was stunned after seeing Wang Lin's appearance, but since it was called the foolish Dragon by the Second Generation Vermilion Bird, there was naturally a reason. It immediately glared with wide eyes. In its memory, this little fellow in front of it was too weak to withstand a single blow. At this moment, it automatically forgot the terrifying Divine Sense that had just made it tremble.

"Damn it, you dare to stop this Dragon too? You drank this Dragon's blood back then. Today, encountering this Dragon, this Dragon will make you pay!" The Blazing Dragon glared, roaring at Wang Lin, and suddenly opened its huge mouth. Endless flames immediately erupted from its mouth and body, spreading out like a giant fireball from a distance, instantly engulfing Wang Lin in front of it, along with itself.

But in the next instant, the huge fireball exploded with a bang, suddenly spreading outwards. Countless flames rolled back, illuminating the starry sky.

Amidst the collapse of the fireball, the Blazing Dragon let out a terrified roar, its body was suddenly thrown aside, its eyes filled with extreme panic.

Wang Lin walked out from the flames. As he stepped, the collapsing flames around him suddenly paused, converged, and instantly gathered on Wang Lin's left hand, forming a burning flame.

"Blazing Dragon…" Wang Lin's expression remained that of a half-smile as he looked at the Blazing Dragon.

"I… I really am a snake…" The Blazing Dragon's body trembled. It wasn't foolish now; it remembered the terrifying aura that had just emanated from the other party.
