Chapter 319: News About the Earth Emperor’s Book

Looking at the shifting “black wall”, Ling Yun was shocked. Little White was even more afraid. This time, she opened her mouth to bite the corner of Ling Yun’s clothes and would not let him proceed further.

Could it really be a dragon? Is it unable to escape?! Ling Yun was filled with awe and immediately thought of fleeing.

If it was truly a dragon, Ling Yun did not need to think hard before realising that his own pathetic abilities currently at the fourth level of cultivation would be grossly insufficient even to plug the gaps between the dragon’s teeth!

“Don’t be afraid, let me take a look first…” Ling Yun used his telepathic powers to communicate with Little White as he dared not make the slightest sound.

He stored all of the luminescent pearls into the spatial ring before leaping lightly into the air. He used his extreme vision to gaze ahead.

Just as he had managed to catch a glance, Ling Yun fell, and the amazement that he had felt was greatly diminished.

It was indeed merely a huge serpentine creature. Although it had already surpassed the size of a giant python, it was not a dragon because it didn’t have four limbs. To be exact, it could only be considered as a giant quasi-dragon.

As to whether this “dragon” had horns on its head, Ling Yun was unable to see clearly as its length had extended beyond Ling Yun’s scope of vision.

Without elaborating on the “dragon’s” length, its height alone was comparable to that of Ling Yun’s. Each of the “dragon’s” scales was the size of a washbasin and was shiny black in color.

Ling Yun was naturally aware that every living creature in the earthly and heavenly realms had a spiritual guardian. However, he had never expected that a giant “dragon” guarded the dragon’s saliva.

Ling Yun held the Dragon Scale Knife as he stood in the dark cave. He was slightly troubled. It was the first time that he had to make a difficult decision.

The “dragon” guarded the dragon’s saliva? Was it better to escape quickly before they were discovered by the giant “dragon”?

Ling Yun was aware that it was virtually impossible to kill the giant “dragon” with his level four capabilities that he had cultivated. It was an impossible task even if he had the Emperor Brush.

Even if the Emperor Brush had been able to penetrate the giant “dragon’s” scales, how would it matter? It was no different than a human to being bitten by a mosquito.

Ling Yun gritted his teeth in pain and considered giving up. He could wait until he had attained sufficient capabilities before returning. However, the problem was that he had not come solely for the dragon’s saliva.

Without a doubt, this place was the heart of the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell. If there were any treasures in the Crater, this would be the place where they existed in the highest concentration. Ling Yun would be lying if he said that he did not wish to acquire any of them.

“Little White, why don’t… we give it a try? Although this is a big place, this giant ‘dragon’ will surely find it difficult to move around. Let’s try not to alarm it and search for treasures before leaving. How about that?”

Ling Yun could not bear to give up on the treasures that lay before him. Even if he was unable to obtain them, he was compelled to dash inside to look at them. At least he would know which items were waiting for him in a future trip.

Little White lifted her head and met Ling Yun’s expectant gaze. Suppressing her own fears, Little White nodded her head.

Ling Yun pondered on the matter before reexpressing his thoughts to Little White. “How about this: you wait for me at a safe place while I dash across to take a look at the items and grab as many of them as I can. If I’m unable to get a hold of them, I will return to where you are.”

When Little White saw that Ling Yun allowed her to leave him, she shook her head firmly. A hint of determination flashed across her seductive fox eyes.

Ling Yun gave a charming smile when he saw the situation and issued a telepathic signal. “We have already dashed through pools of dragons and the dens of tigers. If even dragon’s pools do not strike fear in us, how can we be afraid of a giant ‘dragon’? Let’s go!”

Just as he had given the directive to move, Ling Yun heard several people exclaiming in shock and continuously shouting. Then, he saw that the giant “dragon” was starting to move its colossal body around!

“What a bunch of fools!” Ling Yun scolded in fury before rushing forward with Little White.

If there hadn’t been anyone shouting, Ling Yun would have relied on his level four capabilities and body technique to escape detection by the giant “dragon” while exploring the heart of the premises. He could have left unhurriedly thereafter.

Now that the giant “dragon” had been roused by the shouts of alarm by the people who had inadvertently intruded into the place, it was difficult to ensure their survival, let alone search for treasures!

However, Ling Yun had already attained the fourth level of cultivation. With the support from the powerful spiritual energy from the dragon’s saliva, he would definitely not face a situation where his spiritual energy was drained. He decided to embark on the attempt amidst the chaos!

Undoubtedly, Ling Yun was not the only person who had ventured into the heart of the cave in view of its sheer size. The others would certainly have came in from other caves.

Ling Yun rushed forward. At the same time, he heard the clashing of metal followed by someone shouting, “This giant python is too solid! We can’t cut it!”

These words infuriated Ling Yun. Silently, he mocked them for attempting to cut the giant “dragon” with ordinary weapons. They would have stood a better chance with his Dragon Scale Knife.

However, Ling Yun knew that the people who managed to make it to the heart of the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell should be regarded as capable. They definitely were not weaker than him in the realm of martial arts. Even if they were unable to slay the giant “dragon”, they would be able to fend it off for a period at least.

Seizing the opportunity before the giant “dragon” unleashed its fury, Ling Yun dashed out and arrived at the exit of the passage. Then, he rushed into the heart of the cave!

“Follow me closely, Little White!” Ling Yun would not have been so silly to provoke the giant “dragon”. As he jumped, he directed his gaze at the area where the Dragon Spiritual Energy was most intense. He saw that there was indeed a rocky pool containing a milky-white liquid. It was the dragon’s saliva!

The colossal body of the giant “dragon” circled the pool of dragon saliva several times. It was already standing. The upper body was at least ten meters high. Both its eyes were about the size of basketballs and looked like two gigantic light bulbs staring at the crowd on the ground. It was obviously angry.

Ling Yun rushed out from the tail end of the giant “dragon”. As he did not jump very high, he soon landed on the ground and wasn’t noticed by the giant “dragon”. Seizing the opportunity, he quickly scanned his surroundings in this huge cave.

There were a total of eight or nine people on the other side. Ling Yun was pleasantly surprised to see Dugu Mo among them. Dugu Mo was wielding a sword to fend off the giant “dragon’s” attacks. He looked at Ling Yun with a stunned expression.

“Another person has come down! He must be here for the Earth Emperor’s Book!” Someone in the crowd shouted when they saw Ling Yun and Little White dashing out.

Ling Yun silently rebuked the person for shouting. Ignoring a visibly shocked Dugu Mo, Ling Yun immediately directed his gaze at the three stone doors on the rocky cave wall.

Ling Yun had already surveyed the rocky cave: apart from the dragon’s saliva, the cave was virtually empty. If there were any treasures at all, they were surely behind the three stone doors.

What?! The Earth Emperor’s Book?! Ling Yun’s heart beat violently after hearing the person’s shout.

He already had the Emperor Brush. Now that he had heard that these experts were here for the Earth Emperor’s Book, he knew that there were surely treasures that were of comparable value to the Emperor Brush. He decisively abandoned the idea of obtaining the dragon’s saliva first.

At this juncture, the giant “dragon” was unable to tolerate the situation any longer. Its huge tail swayed gently and swept at Dugu Mo and the rest of the people.

Nine of the people were truly experts of Houtian Realm Level Eight or higher. They jumped to dodge the swipes and were not injured by the giant “dragon”.

When the giant “dragon” saw that it had not hit anyone, it finally began to unleash its fury. It swung its tail once more and waited until the crowd had jumped to dodge it before opening its huge, bloody mouth to bite a person in mid-air!

That person had already attained Houtian Realm Level Nine. As he watched the giant “dragon” coming at him, he did not panic and drew a small breath. He moved sideways in mid-air in an unrestrained manner and managed to escape the giant “dragon’s” huge and bloody mouth.

How amazing! Ling Yun knew that he himself would not be able to execute such a beautiful move. He could not help but praise him secretly.

However, the giant “dragon” was not careless. It did not wait for the expert to land and moved its head violently once more towards him.

If it hit, that person would be severely injured or dead. But, he did not panic in the face of danger. With a longsword in his right hand, the expert lightly pierced the giant “dragon” on the head and made use of the pushback generated to retreat tens of meters. It allowed him to escape the attacking range of the giant “dragon”.

Ling Yun only needed a glance to understand that these experts were all equipped with superb techniques. The giant “dragon” wasn’t able to do anything to them.

Dugu Mo dodged two strikes from the giant “dragon”. He appeared before Ling Yun soon after and gave a relaxed smile, saying, “Ling Yun, I did not expect for us to meet here!”

Ling Yun laughed and replied, “Yeah, this is what it means to be fated to meet across a thousand miles…”

As Ling Yun was speaking, he brought Little White with him and leapt lightly from the sides of the cave. He managed to escape the attacking range of the giant “dragon”. Dugu Mo naturally followed him in flight.

Looking at Ling Yun, Dugu Mo queried in amazement, “We have not met for a few days. How is it possible that your realm has been elevated? What sort of technique have you been practising? How could it be so fast?!”

Ling Yun returned Dugu Mo’s gaze and laughed in reply. “What about yourself? Haven’t your skills improved as well? Have you managed to attain Houtian Realm Level Nine yet?”

Dugu Mo was surprised and asked, “How did you know that I attained Houtian Realm Level Nine? Could it be that you’re able to perceive my realm?”

Ling Yun laughed inwardly and did not answer him. Instead, he pouted his lips in the direction of the crowd that was being attacked by the giant “dragon”. He coolly asked Dugu Mo if they were a part of his gang.

Dugu Mo shook his head firmly and replied, “I’m alone. They are all acquaintances whom I had met after coming down here, They hail from prestigious martial arts lineages and secluded sects.

Ling Yun asked indifferently, “Just now, I heard someone shouting about the Earth Emperor’s Book. What is it? Can it be found here?”

Dugu Mo gave a slight frown and said, “Ling Yun, don’t you know that the Chinese have always maintained their legend regarding the birth of the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor’s Book in Qingshui city? Now, the Emperor Brush has already come into the world, and a mysterious Crater has appeared here. This is the reason why many people strongly believe that the Earth Emperor’s Book is in the Crater!

Ling Yun raised his hand and used his blade to sweep a flying piece of broken gravel to the ground. He asked knowingly, “Has the Emperor Brush come into the world? How is it that I’ve never heard of it? Nobody has ever seen it before, so why are there rumours of its birth? I reckon that someone fabricated that rumour!”

Dugu Mo gave a cold expression and shook his head solemnly. “The news about the birth of the Emperor Brush is absolutely true. No one has seen it yet, but…”

Dugu Mo stopped talking suddenly and did not continue to express his thoughts. However, Ling Yun was greatly shocked by his words.
