Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1111 Ancient Dragon Realm

After the Heavenly Secret Gu was refined, Li Qing tried out the effects and abilities of this peculiar Gu worm in turn. In the end, he was convinced that this Gu could indeed devour a Heavenly Secret once!
However, if you do that, the Heavenly Mystery Gu will also perish, as each Heavenly Mystery Gu can only devour one Heavenly Mystery.

"It only has the ability to devour heavenly secrets once. Once it is used, the Heavenly Secret Gu will die. Only the Immortal-grade Heavenly Secret Gu can devour heavenly secrets multiple times," Li Qing muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, Jade Spirit Venerable was once again deeply shocked. She asked with some excitement, "Devouring heavenly secrets and altering destiny—do you know what this means?"

"That would mean you have a chance to change the laws of nature, and your predetermined fate can be altered by this Gu!"

"For example, we are familiar with the sunrise in the east and the sunset in the west. If the Heavenly Secret Gu is used once, it may be possible to make the sun rise in the west the next day. This is changing the fate of the heavens."

"I'm saved! I'm really saved! Kid, once you advance to the Mahayana stage, you must help me refine a Heavenly Mystery Gu!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing instantly understood why Jade Spirit Venerable was so excited.

She is currently a spirit of an artifact, and it is almost impossible for her to break out of her current state and return to human form, as that would be against the will of Heaven.

However, if the Heavenly Secret Gu is used, then anything is possible. The Gu can devour the secrets of heaven, change the destiny of the Jade Spirit Venerable, and reverse his spirit body into a human body!
"I see." A glint gradually appeared in Li Qing's eyes. He seemed to realize something, and his fists clenched tightly until his fingertips turned white.

At this moment, he seemed to have gained some control over his future destiny. Facing the mysterious, unknown, yet incredibly powerful will within his sea of ​​consciousness, he finally had some confidence to resist.

"The legacy of the Witchcraft Clan is truly legendary; each of these Gu worms is more powerful than the last."

Afterwards, Li Qing flew to Panlong City. He had made all the necessary preparations to go to the Ancient Dragon Realm with Long Yi!
In the blink of an eye, Li Qing's figure slowly descended into Panlong City from the sky.

This time, he entered the Long family pawnshop with ease and followed the route he remembered to return to Long territory.

Upon learning of Li Qing's arrival, figures flew out of Longyuan Village, and the senior members of the Long family immediately came out of seclusion to greet him.

This time, almost all the elders of the Long family came out of seclusion, and each of them had an extremely respectful expression on their face, which was much more solemn than when Li Qing first came.

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, it's been a long time! Your reputation is so great now that even the younger generation of my Long family regards you as a role model."

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Wuji has finally arrived! We old bones have been waiting for this day and night, and we're so glad you've finally come!"

"Long Lan, come here quickly and greet your Brother Wuji!"

Facing a cultivator who was very likely to become a Celestial Venerable in the future, the Long family members did not dare to put on airs and adopted an extremely humble attitude.

Moreover, Li Qing's reputation is indeed too great now, spreading throughout the Tianyuan Continent and even the entire Spirit Realm.

His record after the demonic invasion was truly terrifying. Countless ancient demons in the Integration Stage died at his hands, and he even fought a decisive battle against the Dao Body of a Mahayana Stage demon sorcerer and won!

Aside from beings in the Mahayana stage, the name of the Supreme Being has already instilled fear in many ancient demon races.

The woman named Long Lan strode confidently to Li Qing, her eyes shining, and asked, "Brother Wuji, do you have a Daoist partner?"

"My family elders hope that we will become husband and wife, and I am also very satisfied with you. If you do not have a partner, why not consider it?"

Long Lan was dressed in a red outfit, and she was very tall. In particular, her legs were extremely long and powerful. Perhaps because of the true dragon blood in her body, her face was full of heroic spirit. Perhaps it is not possible to describe her as beautiful or pretty, but the word handsome is very suitable for her.

Moreover, Longlan is very straightforward and bold. She is not shy about her marriage at all and speaks about it in a very generous and open manner.

Such frank words made him both amused and exasperated. He said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Miss Longlan, but I already have a Daoist partner, and I am currently focused on cultivation. Before I reach the Mahayana stage, I do not want to be distracted by these matters."

Long Lan wasn't too disappointed by this; instead, her beautiful eyes revealed even stronger appreciation and admiration.

“It’s alright. If Brother Wuji ever advances to the Mahayana stage, I can become your concubine if you are interested.” As she said this, a blush appeared on Long Lan’s cheeks. Even the most carefree and generous woman would feel a little embarrassed at this moment.

Li Qing clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Then I'll take your kind words, Fellow Daoist Long Lan. By the way, where's Brother Long Yi? I haven't seen him."

The elders of the Long family standing to the side wore smiles as they repeatedly looked Li Qing and Long Lan up and down, their eyes full of satisfaction, wishing they could immediately arrange their wedding.

Unfortunately, they also knew that they did not have the strength to deal with this Wuji Venerable, even if all the experts of the Long family came out, they might not be able to do anything to him.

"Hahaha, the young master is about to emerge from seclusion. This time, he will have to undergo some trials by the dragon race on his way to the Ancient Dragon Realm. There will be some benefits for him, so we must make more preparations."

"Judging by the time, we should be able to emerge from seclusion in a few more days. Fellow Daoist Wuji, why don't you come into the village for a chat? We can then tell you about the things you need to be aware of on your journey to the Ancient Dragon Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing nodded and said, "I couldn't be happier!"

And so, Li Qing stayed in Longyuan Village for a while. In the past few days, the Long family has been hosting a grand banquet to entertain him, bringing up all kinds of precious spirit wines and delicious dishes.

During this time, the elders of the Long family also told him about some things he might encounter when he went to the Ancient Dragon Realm, as well as various taboos.

"The dragon race has always valued its own bloodline extremely highly. If you, Fellow Daoist Wuji, discover any unhatched dragon eggs, please do not have any intention of stealing them. Doing so will greatly anger the dragon race."

"And then there's the Dragon Tomb, which is a place in the ancient dragon realm specifically for burying dead true dragons. You absolutely must not covet the buried dragon corpses!"

"However, the Dragon Clan also highly respects the strong. If Fellow Daoist Wuji can demonstrate sufficient strength, he should be able to make friends with some powerful Dragon Clan members."

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, since you are traveling with the young master this time, you will be regarded as a guest by the Dragon Clan and will be able to soak in the Dragon Transformation Pool with the young master!"

"Oh, right, the Myriad Dragon Abyss is a forbidden area in the Ancient Dragon Realm. If you encounter it, remember not to enter it, or you may die a violent death."

"In the Ancient Dragon Realm, one can also find some spiritual herbs that are invisible to the outside world. These are rare spiritual herbs that are associated with dragon energy. The dragons do not value these spiritual herbs very much, and they can pick them at will when the opportunity arises."

"." Over the past few days, through the words of the elders of the Dragon Clan, Li Qing has gradually gained some real insights into this trip to the Ancient Dragon Realm.

In short, don't go to places you shouldn't go, don't do things you shouldn't do, and never offend the True Dragon Clan, otherwise, unless a celestial being descends to earth, no one can save him.

Unfortunately, Li Qing's purpose in going to the Ancient Dragon Realm was not just for these simple opportunities; he was going to seek the Mahayana opportunity that the Ancestor Wanbao had recorded.

Several more days passed, and Long Yi finally emerged from seclusion.

On that day, the entire Yuanlong Village could see a golden dragon phantom soaring thousands of miles away, and a powerful dragon might swept across the land.

During this seclusion, Long Yi became even stronger. His aura nearly surpassed the limit of the perfect Integration Stage, making him one of the most powerful patriarchs in the history of the Long family.

He was still dressed in a linen robe, and the golden light in his eyes was so real that it shot out as two beams of light.

"Hahaha, Brother Wuji, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Your reputation has truly resounded all these years." Long Yi laughed loudly and took a step to stand in front of Li Qing.

Li Qing chuckled and said, "They're just empty titles, nothing special. But Brother Long Yi, you're quite something too. I heard that a few years ago you killed three ancient demons at the late stage of the Integration Realm. I admire your prowess."

"Alas, it was all out of necessity. In this era, no one can remain unaffected. My Long family has also suffered heavy losses, and even Panlong City has been threatened several times." Long Yi sighed and gradually concealed his aura.

"The battlefields of the two realms are about to be fully connected, and that will be the truly brutal time." A look of worry appeared in Li Qing's eyes. Even though he had never experienced it, he could imagine how terrible the war would be.

Long Yi nodded: "That's right. Time is running out, and we must seize every opportunity to improve ourselves."

"Let's go, it's time to set off!"

And so, the two left Longyuan Village one after the other and arrived at that unstable spatial node from before.

This time, the two of them are even stronger, having both reached the perfect level of the Integration Stage, and are only one step away from the Great Ascension Stage.

They activated the spatial node and embarked on the ancient starry path, this time heading straight for the Ancient Dragon Realm!

As they vanished into the vast void, the surrounding environment suddenly became ethereal and elusive. Occasionally, spatial turbulence would sweep by, but to them now, it posed no threat whatsoever. They could easily suppress it with their magic or cross it at lightning speed.

They didn't encounter any problems along the way, or rather, this was the norm in the void. Drifting for tens of thousands of miles in emptiness, even encountering those forbidden beings wandering in the void was not an easy thing.

"By the way, how is the black dragon's skeleton in the Death Realm?" Li Qing asked casually.

Long Yi shook his head and transmitted his voice, "After we left, the entire Death Realm was plunged into a continuous battle. A total of six beings at the Mahayana stage participated in it. In the end, the commotion grew bigger and bigger, and it eventually attracted the attention of the Dragon Clan's powerful figures."

"Later, the Dragon Clan dispatched three powerful individuals who, with an extremely firm attitude, drove away those Mahayana-stage beings who were trying to seize the black dragon's corpse."

"As for the black dragon's remains, they are still sealed in the realm of the dead. The seal formed by the laws of space is very difficult to shake, and even the strongest members of the dragon race cannot break it."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing's eyes showed emotion. Even the most powerful true spirit was helpless. Could it be a sealing technique left by a near-immortal being?

Thus, the two traversed an unknown distance across the vast void, finally arriving at the end of this ancient starry path.

A vast and primordial aura spread out, and the great realm ahead was the Ancient Dragon Realm!

"Stay close to me. Without the bloodline of a true dragon, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the Ancient Dragon Realm." As Long Yi spoke, he activated the dragon blood within him.

boom!
Li Qing followed closely beside him. He felt the space in front of him distort, and then the ancient and primordial aura became even stronger.

After a moment of transformation, the surrounding environment underwent a dramatic change, transforming from an empty void into an ancient and primitive world.

In this land, towering mountains are everywhere, some of which even reach straight to the sky, towering exaggeratedly high.

This is the Ancient Dragon Realm. In this plane, everything is exceptionally huge. Li Qing felt insignificant, like an ant.

In the distance, a dragon-blood bat with flapping wings captured and killed a dragon-elephant; such bloody scenes were commonplace in this world.

"Besides true dragons, there are many dragon descendants in the Ancient Dragon Realm that contain dragon blood. The powerful monsters we see all contain trace amounts of dragon blood."

“In the past, a powerful individual smuggled himself into the Ancient Dragon Realm to secretly hunt those demonic beasts and collect dragon blood. In the end, his scheme was exposed, which provoked fierce retaliation from the True Dragon Clan!”

As Long Yi recounted his story, he led Li Qing to a continent in the Ancient Dragon Realm.

At the center of this continent stands an extremely large and majestic divine mountain, far surpassing any other towering peak Li Qing had ever seen. Its immeasurable size and grandeur are comparable to that of a small world.

"We are newcomers and should go directly to pay our respects to the powerful members of the True Dragon Clan."

"Afterwards, according to the procedure, you and I can both enter the Dragon Transformation Pool for a soak. That pool contains the essence of heaven and earth and is the sacred pool of the ancient dragon realm. Every young true dragon will enter the Dragon Transformation Pool for a long time after it is born, and it can obtain great benefits."

"But the only problem is that one has to withstand the dragon's might in the Dragon Transformation Pool. In the past, the longest that the head of the Dragon Clan could soak in the pool was nine days, after which he had to leave, as he could not withstand the pressure of the ancient true dragon at all."

At this point, Long Yi glanced at Li Qing repeatedly. He knew that Li Qing had some tricks up his sleeve and might be able to break this record easily.

Without a doubt, the longer you stay in the Dragon Transformation Pool, the greater the benefits you will receive!
Upon hearing this, Li Qing became interested and said, "I'm actually looking forward to it."

The next moment, a domineering aura emanated from the sacred mountain, and two eyes as bright as the sun opened, staring at Li Qing and Long Yi.
