Chapter 631 The Old Site of the Dragon's Nest

After exploring the outer hall, Li Yuan descended along the crack.

The crack opened up after extending downwards for about twenty feet.

The first layer of the cave.

The naturally formed, enormous cavity is about fifty zhang square, with a dome about fifteen zhang high. The interior of the cave is shrouded in a very faint, dark golden light, the source of which comes from the dome.

Dozens of huge fossilized ribs hang down from the dome.

Each one is as thick as an adult's waist, and its surface is covered with a layer of grayish-white mineralization, but the bone texture beneath the mineralization layer is still clearly visible.

Dragon ribs.

The Dragon Transformation Technique within the body produced an instinctive affinity for these dragon energies, and the dragon blood energy in the bone marrow layer became even more active under the stimulation of the dragon energy.

The cave floor was littered with numerous fragments.

The dragon sheds its scales.

The fragments varied in size, the largest being about the size of a palm, and the smallest only the size of a fingernail. The dark blue luster on their surfaces had almost completely faded, their spiritual energy had been completely drained, leaving only a dry, keratinous outer shell.

Li Yuan squatted down, picked up a larger fragment, examined it for a moment, and then casually put it down.

The spiritual energy has been lost for too long and has no value anymore.

The blue permanent entry of the Earth Vein Pivot began a deep scan of the cave floor.

There was nothing else in the cave. After completing the search, Li Yuan turned his attention to the side of the cave.

There are three naturally formed openings on the side wall of the cave. The openings are irregularly shaped, but the interiors have been modified by humans to form three small stone chambers.

The first stone chamber.

It was about three zhang square. There were simple dragon patterns carved on the stone walls, in a rough and primitive style. In the center of the stone chamber was a low stone platform, with a layer of grayish-white powder piled on the surface.

The powder is the residue left after the storage container has decayed.

Li Yuan used his spiritual power to brush away the powder, revealing that there were no hidden compartments or sealing structures beneath the stone platform.

empty.

The second stone chamber was also empty. The dragon patterns on the stone walls were denser than in the first chamber, but again, no items remained. The thickness of the accumulated dust indicated that many things had once been placed here, but they had all decayed completely.

The third stone chamber.

The density of the dragon patterns on the stone wall had increased, and the workmanship of the stone platform was more refined than the previous two. The surface of the platform was also covered with a thick layer of grayish-white powder.

Li Yuan used his spiritual power to brush away the powder.

In the corner of the stone platform, an object was embedded in a tiny groove.

A translucent dragon tooth.

It is about three inches long, slightly curved like a crescent moon, and made of semi-transparent material, with faint dark gold patterns visible inside. A set of natural dragon patterns is inlaid at the root of the tooth, and the direction of the patterns is consistent with the wall dragon pattern system that Li Yuan had previously studied.

Within a three-foot perception range, the words rippled.

Green grade.

Touch the surface of the dragon's tooth with your finger.

[Effect: Dragon-type spells are increased by 30%, and dragon blood energy is greatly enhanced to deter low-level monsters]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Infusion of dragon blood essence for a cumulative period of sixty days; the purer the bloodline, the shorter the infusion time.]

The dragon's blood essence has been infused for a total of sixty days. The Dragon Transformation Technique has been mastered, and the purity of the dragon's blood essence is continuously increasing. The actual infusion time should be shorter than the standard sixty days.

After searching the three stone chambers, Li Yuan returned to the main cavity of the cave.

Our gaze shifted to the depths of the cave.

At the deepest part of the cave, far from the three stone chambers, a clearly man-made passageway entrance appears on the rock wall.

The entrance to the passageway is a regular square, about four feet wide and seven feet high, with straight and sharp cut marks on the edges, which is incongruous with the smooth and rounded walls of the natural cave.

Li Yuan stepped into the passageway.

The walls inside the passageway are engraved with two distinct patterns.

One type is the dragon pattern. The style of the pattern is different from the original and rough dragon patterns on the walls of the stone chambers in the karst cave; it is more refined and regular.

Another type is spirit runes.

The sect style of the Canglan Sect.

Having previously encountered the relics and heirlooms of the Canglan Sect during his activities at sea, he was not unfamiliar with this style.

The two patterns intersect, suggesting they were recorded at the same time.

The passageway extends deep into the mountain, with a total length of about forty zhang (approximately 33 meters).

At the end was a stone chamber.

The stone chamber is about eight zhang square, much larger than the side chambers in the karst cave. The density of dragon patterns and Canglan Zong spirit patterns on the stone walls is far greater than that of the passageway. The two types of patterns intertwine and cover the walls, forming a complex structure.

In the very center of the stone chamber, a circular base about ten feet in diameter is embedded in the rock strata.

The base is made of a grayish-white spirit stone that Li Yuan has never seen before, with extremely complex spatial spirit patterns and some dragon-patterned loops engraved on its surface. The design logic of the loops is based on spatial folding and spatial leaps, making it a typical teleportation structure.

A spatial rift floats above the base.

The crack was about three feet long, with a dim, eerie blue glow at its edges, and the spatial structure around it remained disordered.

However, the state of the crack is extremely unstable.

The array's celestial pivot analyzes the base and cracks.

About 30% of the spiritual runes in the base are broken, and the spiritual energy supply at the key nodes has long been exhausted. The spatial structure of the cracks themselves is also obviously damaged, with uneven edges and uneven depth, making it impossible to form a stable spatial channel.

Two possibilities: an unfinished space plank, or structural damage caused by years of neglect.

It's more likely to be a combination of both.

Li Yuan used his spatial abilities to analyze it, and it seemed that the Jiaolong Clan and the Canglan Sect were trying to transform it into a spatial node leading to the upper realm.

But it ultimately failed.

Although the design of the spiritual runes on the base is ingenious, the energy required for spatial jumps far exceeds the supply capacity of a single base. Even though the spatial folds of the Dragon Nest provide natural weak points, the distance to penetrate from the lower realm to the upper realm is still astronomical.

Li Yuan had no intention of exploring the spatial rift. Although he wouldn't be injured, the problem was that he didn't know where he would be teleported to. Spatial passages could sometimes cover tens of thousands of miles in an instant, and it would take a lot of time to get back.

Turn your gaze away and focus on the interior space of the passageway.

The spatial structure inside the passageway is extremely unique.

Deep-sea water pressure squeezes the rock strata from the outside, dragon breath seeps continuously from the fossilized ribs of the dragon, and although most of the old spirit patterns of the Canglan Sect have failed, the remaining structure still releases weak spatial disturbances. These three factors superimpose within the tunnel, creating an environment with a highly complex spatial structure.

The space wall continuously generates microscopic fluctuations under triple perturbation, and the frequency and direction of the fluctuations are constantly changing.

This is a natural training ground for spatial magic.

Li Yuan raised his hand and released a spatial forbidden technique.

A small restricted area locked onto a water flow fissure near the tunnel wall. The seawater in the fissure instantly froze due to the spatial solidification effect.

However, the solidification effect rapidly decayed under the influence of the triple perturbation. The duration of the effect was nearly 40% shorter than that under normal conditions.

Li Yuan withdrew the spell and cast it again.

The duration of the effect has been extended.

Repeatedly released.

Each spellcasting adjusts the angle and intensity of the spiritual energy output based on the real-time changes of the triple disturbances.

The precision of controlling spatial forbidden techniques rapidly increased through intensive and repeated practice.

They then turned to spatial cutting techniques.

The cutting target is aimed at the weakest point in the spatial structure of the tunnel rock strata. At the moment of entry, the spatial crack is disturbed by three disturbances, causing the crack's direction to deflect.

Li Yuan adjusted his spiritual energy output in real time based on the direction of the deflection, pulling the crack back to the preset trajectory.

Correct, deflect, and correct again.

Repeated cutting.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the spiritual energy circuits of the two spatial spells were simultaneously reconstructed.

The control precision of spatial cutting technology has been upgraded from passive correction to active prediction, and the controllability of cracks can still maintain an extremely high level under triple interference environment.

The ability to maintain spatial forbidden techniques has shifted from relying on a stable environment to being able to adaptively adjust in a highly disturbed environment, and the stability of the forbidden region is no longer constrained by external interference.

Master of spatial cutting techniques.

Proficient in forbidden spatial techniques.

Li Yuan withdrew his spell, his gaze sweeping once more over the base and the suspended spatial rift.

Although the base structure is damaged, the core framework remains intact.

If there is sufficient space and energy supply in the future, this base may be repaired or even upgraded.

Immovable base.

Li Yuan was moved out of the airspace and anchored.

Two coordinate points have been recorded so far, and there are still quite a few coordinate points that can be recorded.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and practicing several spatial spells, Li Yuan was able to record ten coordinate points.

The spiritual energy extends outward along the anchoring mechanism of the airspace, implanting a coordinate anchor point into the spatial structure of the stone chamber.

The third coordinate point has been recorded.

Li Yuan returned to the main cavity of the cave along the original route through the passageway.

My gaze shifted to the other side of the cave.

There is an entrance to a passage leading deeper into the mountain, pointing towards its core.
