Chapter 28: Dragon

Su Yu then arrived before the Mysterious Yin Forest and stepped inside, but upon entering the Mysterious Yin Forest, he immediately felt a sense of oppression in the atmosphere.

It felt chilly.

Although he knew that an old man lived in the Mysterious Yin Forest, he did not know exactly where.

He had asked Yang Tian, but he did not know either.

Sigh, it seems he would have to search slowly.

Anyway, there was plenty of time, so he was not in a rush; he would see if he could find him.

If it really did not work out, he would think of other ways.

Su Yu searched in the Mysterious Yin Forest for a month like this, but still found no trace of the old man.

Because this Mysterious Yin Forest was too big—unimaginably big.

At this moment, Su Yu found himself on a cliff, and just then, he felt something was off.

Thinking of the Opportunity in novels from his past life, which were often found at the bottom of cliffs, combined with his earlier realization,

he decided to go down and investigate carefully.

Just as Su Yu flew down the cliff, an old man put down the fishing rod in his hand. "Oh? A guest has actually come. It is truly a surprise that someone could detect that something is wrong here."

He then disappeared from the side of the pond.

Su Yu arrived below and looked at the Formation in front of him. It was indeed unusual; it seemed the old man should be inside.

Su Yu studied the Formation. As someone who was also proficient in Formations, it was not difficult for him to break this one.

He prepared to call out twice to see if anyone was there. If no one responded, he would then consider breaking the Formation to go in and see what was inside.

Just as Su Yu was about to call out, an old man appeared behind him.

But the moment the old man appeared behind him, Su Yu sensed him.

At this moment, Su Yu did not turn around but said: "Please forgive my sudden visit, Your Excellency. I have only come to ask a question."

The old man looked at the person at the Golden Core Middle Stage in front of him and was somewhat surprised for a moment. "Oh, not only could you discover the Formation I set up, but you could also sense me immediately. It seems you are not simple either."

Su Yu guessed that the old man was at least a Soul Transformation Stage existence. There were not many such existences in the Southern Territory.

Su Yu spoke up: "Just luck."

"Don't be modest. Come in and have some tea?"

Su Yu followed the old man to where he lived. Looking at the small courtyard and the environment before him, it seemed this old man had the same temperament as him.

The old man was named Wang Tianming.

The old man poured Su Yu a cup of tea. "Alright, Your Excellency, what business do you have with me?"

Su Yu took a sip of tea. "To tell you the truth, Senior, I would like to ask you about the whereabouts of the innate dark iron."

The old man was somewhat surprised. "innate dark iron?"

The old man did not answer Su Yu's question first but asked in return: "I wonder what your strength is, Your Excellency?"

Because the old man had not seen through Su Yu's Realm, he could not easily judge for a moment.

Hearing this, Su Yu guessed that this old man might know the whereabouts of the innate dark iron, which is why he asked about his strength.

Su Yu did not speak at this moment. Suddenly, the scenery around the small courtyard changed, and an invisible Domain spread out with Su Yu at the center.

Suddenly, the two were placed in a Realm of lightning, and every bolt of lightning in the sky seemed to contain supreme Sword Intent.

The old man looked at the scene before him and said: "What a great technique, Your Excellency. It is actually a Sword Domain."

"And it is a lightning-attribute Sword Domain. Furthermore, observing its Concept, I admire your understanding of the Sword Dao."

A Sword Domain is generally only mastered upon reaching the Refining Void Stage, unless one is a peerless Sword Dao Prodigy who can master it at the Soul Transformation Stage.

The deeper a person's understanding of the Sword Dao, the more powerful the Sword Domain they can manifest. This was just Su Yu manifesting one type of Sword Domain attribute.

Su Yu then retracted the Sword Domain.

The old man also acknowledged Su Yu's strength.

Then, the old man stroked his beard. "I do indeed know where the innate dark iron is."

"But obtaining this innate dark iron is not simple. The innate dark iron is located in the Mysterious Yin River."

"And the Mysterious Yin River is full of dangers, with numerous sea monsters appearing. The innate dark iron is in the nest of a Dragon, and that Dragon has a cultivation equivalent to the Peak Transformation Stage."

"Coupled with being in the water, it can basically be invincible among those of the same rank, and can even escape from a Refining Void Stage expert while in the water."

"It is very tricky. I am only at the Peak Transformation Stage; although I know where the innate dark iron is, I can do nothing about it."

"If I go, it is just seeking death. Besides, although I want this innate dark iron, I have lived without it."

"I can tell you where the Dragon's nest is, but I would like it if you could share a small piece with me if you obtain it. If you are at the Refining Void Stage, then obtaining the innate dark iron will be easy."

"But if you are at the Soul Transformation Stage, then I have said my piece: going is seeking death."

Su Yu thought for a moment. As long as it had not reached the Refining Void Stage, Su Yu felt it would not be much of a problem. If it had broken through to the Refining Void Stage, it might be a bit tricky, and he might just give up and return to the Sect.

After thinking about it, he still decided to head to that Mysterious Yin River.

"Old Wang, tell me where the Mysterious Yin River is. I will go and retrieve that innate dark iron, and I will share some with you when the time comes."

When Wang Tianming heard Su Yu's words, he also assumed that Su Yu was at the Refining Void Stage.

He immediately said happily: "Then many thanks, Your Excellency."

He then drew a map and gave it to Su Yu, marking the whereabouts of the innate dark iron in detail.

After Su Yu got the map, he headed to the Mysterious Yin River.

After flying for a period of time, Su Yu arrived above the Mysterious Yin River, looking at the boundless Mysterious Yin River.

It was as if it were the end of the world.

According to the location on the map, he found the space above the Dragon's nest.

Su Yu released his Divine Sense and saw the Dragon sleeping in the nest.

Su Yu no longer concealed himself, and a boundless Sword Intent surged toward the Dragon.

Suddenly, the Dragon opened its eyes and surfaced from the water. It was several hundred feet long and looked exceptionally oppressive.

The Dragon's two lantern-sized eyes looked at the person in front of it.

"Brat, you dare to disturb my rest? Are you seeking death?"

Although it knew that the person in front of it was certainly not as simple as the Golden Core Stage he appeared to be.

But it still had confidence; after all, it was at the Peak Transformation Stage. As long as no Refining Void Stage expert appeared, it was invincible.

However, in these years, because of the previous War between Immortals and Demons, no Refining Void Stage person had appeared for a long time, so it was fearless.

It felt that the person in front of it was at most at the same Soul Transformation Stage as it was.

Su Yu looked at the Dragon. "I have only one thing to do here, which is to retrieve the innate dark iron."

"You want the innate dark iron too? Just placing the innate dark iron there can increase cultivation insights. Why should I give it to you?"

Su Yu shook his head. "It seems there is no room for discussion? Then I can only take it myself."

Seeing this, the Dragon said: "Who can't brag? You brat, do you really have such ability? It just so happens that I haven't eaten a member of the Human Race for a while; today I will have a fresh taste."

Su Yu said no more. One sword after another appeared continuously beneath Su Yu's feet, and the scene instantly transformed. The great river beneath his feet had turned into a Sword Tomb, with tens of thousands of swords stuck in the ground.

A desolate Sword Intent that seemed to want to devour people completely enveloped the Dragon's entire body.
