Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 338 - 339 Chapter 344 A True Dragon Within the Source

339: Chapter 344: A True Dragon Within the Source 339: Chapter 344: A True Dragon Within the Source The few Heaven Rank strange stones were all extraordinary, treasures of the Stone Garden; even Ye Fan couldn’t truly see through them.

He felt more and more that this field of study was vast and profound, endless in its depths.

In the past, the Heavenly Source Master was called a peerless genius, and with good reason.

He could see through ancient mines at a glance, travel the world without restrictions, and perceive all mysteries within Sources.

Tuoba Chang also furrowed his brow slightly, feeling a trace of pressure walking through this Stone Garden, as some of the strange stones were shrouded in a mist that made them difficult to see through.

The island was very small, with a perimeter of only a few hundred meters.

The ancient trees were strong but not dense; every tree seemed like a Coiled Dragon, with old bark like Dragon Scales, and their branches were heavy with blossoms.

Petals fell—pink, pure white, sky blue, light purple—each one crystal clear, with a fragrance that suffused the air.

This place felt like a Pure Land of the gods, giving one a sense of serenity, purity, and divinity.

Especially beneath one ancient tree in the center, flower rain drifted down, and the old guardian of the Stone Garden from the Ji Family sat there.

His skin was like a baby’s, his hair white as snow, resembling a god in meditation.

Many old men who came here did not disturb him.

From beginning to end, he sat meditating with closed eyes.

Ye Fan and Tuoba Chang circled around once, inspecting all the strange stones, feeling very calm as they stood under the old blossoming trees, facing each other.

Tuoba Chang said, “Anything less than an unparalleled rarity doesn’t count.

If you lose, besides the hundred thousand jin of Sources, even any divine objects unearthed must be given to the other party.” “That suits me just fine,” Ye Fan nodded.

Immediately, the two of them began selecting stones, and everyone held their breath, watching attentively.

Individuals such as the Prince of Great Xia, An Miaoyi, Ji Biyue, Jiang Yifei, Yaoyue Kong, and Jin Chixiao all moved forward, opening their Divine Eyes, focusing their senses.

As for the old men, they almost stuck to the two of them, following each step, their murky old eyes shooting out Divine Radiance, sweeping away their decrepit appearances, each becoming energetic and full of vigor.

Meanwhile, everyone else stood at the edges of the small island, silent as they observed intently.

Tuoba Chang acted first.

His entire right hand turned a reddish-golden color as he strode forward and pressed down on a dozen pre-selected strange stones one by one.

The Red Gold Divine Hand made him seem to possess an additional Divine Sense, capable of penetrating everything.

His entire body surface acquired a faint golden sheen, connecting with those stones.

Everyone was astounded because, at that moment, each strange stone became transparent, and everything inside was clearly visible.

Everyone knew that Sources were special; even the most powerful cultivators could not perceive their inner secrets, yet Source Technique was so wondrous, breaking conventional understanding.

“This is the handiwork of the Heavenly Source Master!

In the past, it was said that with the Heavenly Master present, there were no secrets within stones, and everything could be discerned.” “The Tuoba Clan’s Strange Technique is astonishing, possessing such skills that even strange stones can’t hide!” “As expected, Tuoba Chang is a genius.

At his age, to achieve such feats, he may become the sixth Heavenly Source Master of the northern region in the future.” A group of old men marveled, as if seeing a peerless beauty, their eyes gleaming with different intentions.

Others were equally amazed, with many wishing to recruit him.

A figure like him, hailing from the northern region, would be a prized guest of every major power.

In contrast, Ye Fan was very serene, like a drifting cloud passing through the flower-laden trees.

His crystalline fingers brushed lightly, with no brilliance nor Variations, only the natural peace of a spring flowing over stones amidst pines, his entire being exuding ethereal grace.

Finally, Tuoba Chang stopped before the Dragon Head Stone, his reddish-golden right hand resting upon it, connecting with it.

Many people quietly exclaimed upon seeing this, clearly recognizing that the talented scion of the Tuoba Family had set his sights on this stone, his expression particularly solemn.

A group of old men crowded around; the stone had been on display for years, with no one daring to cut it open, yet now it seemed their wish could be fulfilled.

An Miaoyi’s hair danced lightly as she approached, her steps like a lotus.

The elegant Jiang Yifei too showed an expression of surprise, moving closer to observe.

Strange stones are the hardest to judge.

Even Heavenly Source Masters furrow their brow at times, let alone others in this age.

Tuoba Chang’s Red Gold Divine Hand descended upon the Dragon Head Stone, yet it did not become transparent, remaining as calm as an Ancient Well, with only a trace of Dragon Qi seeping out.

DING, DING, DING…

Tuoba Chang tapped continuously, exactly three hundred and sixty-five times, with streams of Divine Radiance entering the Dragon Head Stone.

At the same time, a faint golden glow enveloped Tuoba Chang, connecting him with the massive Grinding Disc-sized Dragon Head Stone, becoming one.

He closed his eyes, his right hand resting on the dragon head, light flowing like the hand of a god reborn.

“A Treasure Wheel appeared under his right hand!” “Indeed, it’s a Treasure Wheel, surrounded by five colors, radiating auspicious light.” Everyone, whether they were the group of old men, An Miaoyi, the Prince of Great Xia, Jin Chixiao, or the spectators outside the small island, displayed shock.

“This is the Source Heavenly Origin Treasure Wheel, capable of imprinting the secrets of strange stones, revealing the rare treasures they contain.” “The talent from the Tuoba Family is astonishing, even replicating such a method.

It’s said this is the Strange Technique of the Heavenly Source Master.” Understanding this, all the elder figures changed their expressions, while everyone else was moved upon learning of it.

At this moment, Li Heishui’s heart beat violently; the opponent’s Source Technique was so astounding, making it truly hard to say who was superior in this Source Technique duel.

SWOOSH.

With a flash of light, the well-dressed young man, Tuoba Chang, stepped back, the Source Heavenly Origin Treasure Wheel stuck to his palm, its light becoming even more brilliant, like a five-colored Divine Sun, dazzling to the eyes.

However, no one closed their eyes; instead, they opened their Divine Eyes, casting beams of light to capture the imprints on the Source Heavenly Origin Treasure Wheel.

“A dragon!

My heavens, there’s actually a dragon!” The Heavenly Sacred Stone Garden erupted, everyone exclaiming upon witnessing this scene.

“A dragon was imprinted within the Source Heavenly Origin Treasure Wheel!” “Is it true?

There’s a dragon inside the Dragon Head Stone?!” In Tuoba Chang’s palm, the Source Heavenly Origin Treasure Wheel shimmered with light; inside, a dragon shadow swam, swaying its head and tail constantly.

Vaguely, a terrifying dragon majesty surged out, leaving people dumbfounded.

Everyone was stunned; this seemed nearly fantastical.

Could a True Dragon really be about to emerge?

The people of the Ji Family completely changed their expressions; they had sought out pinnacle masters to observe the strange stones in the garden.

How could they have missed such an unparalleled rare treasure?

Not to mention Jin Chixiao, the little white-robed nun, Xiang Yifei, and others, even the old-generation figures were all excited and flocked around it.

Many major powers secretly communicated with Tuoba Chang, offering sensational Heaven Rank prices, wishing to purchase this stone.

“I once heard that a True Dragon is born from the great harmony of heaven and earth.

Could there really be a young dragon over a foot long inside the dragon head?” “Regardless, within the Grinding Disc-sized Dragon Head Stone, there must be an unparalleled rare treasure related to a True Dragon.” Everyone’s eyes blazed with fervor, and some elders with disturbingly grand backgrounds were filled with regret, having once observed this stone but ultimately abandoned it.

The faint golden glow emanating from Tuoba Chang’s body slowly faded, and the Source Heavenly Origin Treasure Wheel in his hand disappeared.

He lightly patted the Dragon Head Stone, saying, “I choose this stone.” Now, no one doubted his Source Technique; all the exhibited methods definitely bore the features of a Heavenly Source Master.

Li Heishui lamented, cursing, “No wonder he disregarded everything; he truly possesses peerless Source Technique.

Now, this is a terrible situation.” Without needing to be told, Ye Fan had already felt the pressure; the opponent had selected the Dragon Head Stone and even mirrored out a True Dragon with the Source Heavenly Origin Treasure Wheel.

If it were a True Dragon, no matter what rare treasure I cut out, it could hardly compare unless I cut out a Daoist saint.

Ye Fan remained expressionless, wandering in the Stone Garden.

Ordinary stone materials would no longer suffice.

I must also cut out a sensational divine object.

Currently, available options included the Immortal Sound Stone, Eight Diagrams Dao Map Stone, and Peerless Beauty Stone.

He furrowed his brows while pondering between several Suppression Origin Stones.

True Dragons, akin to Immortals, do not descend into the mortal world for no reason.

It might be something else; I just need to cut out an unparalleled rare treasure to contend with it.

Ye Fan stood in front of the Eight Diagrams Dao Map Stone without acting, just circling it a few times, continuously pondering.

The Innate Eight Diagram Dao Map was very alluring, naturally formed.

Glancing at it gave a sense of Dao rhythm flowing, like all laws converging into one.

However, Ye Fan eventually moved away, arriving in front of the Peerless Beauty Stone, caressing it with his hand, then gently tapping it.

His actions carried great rhythm, his fingers fluttering like several spirits dancing, sketching graceful trajectories.

“‘Young man, you’ve no choice left.

I suggest you pick from these few treasures that anchor the garden,’ an elder advised.” “The genius of the Tuoba Family chose the Dragon Head Stone; you also can only select from the same tier of strange stones.” “Indeed, if he truly cuts out a young True Dragon, you can only compare by cutting out a female Holy Spirit King.” Ye Fan calmed down considerably after much contemplation; he ultimately abandoned the Peerless Beauty Stone and moved aside.

Seeing Ye Fan still hadn’t chosen a stone, Wu Ziming tried to disrupt his thoughts and verbally attack him, saying, “Can you even make a choice, or are you scared?

For a rustic technique to challenge the Strange Techniques of the Source Technique Sacred Land—how utterly ludicrous!” “Beyond the well, a frog viewing the sky!

How dare you compare to Brother Tuoba?

If such a person is also a Source Technique genius, it would be an insult to Brother Tuoba,” Li Chongtian also sneered.

Li Heishui rebuked, “Shut your traps!

You’re disrupting, severely undermining the Source Technique contest.” Wu Ziming mocked, “He can’t choose a stone, he’s already cowardly, and we’re not allowed to say so?” Li Chongtian also laughed brazenly, “Even if he cuts out a rare treasure, it won’t match Brother Tuoba’s Dragon Head Stone.

Best to admit defeat quickly, lest you spend a fortune buying the stone material.” No stones had been cut yet, but the atmosphere was already tense, with the parties starting to bicker, accompanied by numerous echoing supporters.

Tuoba Chang spoke coldly, “Say no more; let him choose a stone.

I will make him lose with utter disgrace.” Ye Fan turned back upon hearing this, smiling slightly, and said, “In the domain of stone gambling and Source Technique, anything is possible.

Even if one believes they see a True Dragon, it may just be an illusory dream flower.” He arrived at the Spiritual Spring, pulling the Immortal Sound Stone from the water and lightly sweeping it dry.

Its azure-brown stone body became naturally simple under sunlight.

Ye Fan felt this stone was most peculiar; it didn’t seem like any stone material from a divine sources mine, yet it gave him a special feeling.

The audience quieted down, so silent a pin’s drop would be audible, noticing Ye Fan’s extremely solemn expression—he must be about to employ Source Technique.

Suddenly, two beams of purple light shot from Ye Fan’s eyes, penetrating the stone material.

“Heavens, this is the Source Heaven Divine Sense!” “The Eye of Breaking Illusion, a Source Heaven Technique!

Using Divine Sense to scrutinize everything inside the stone—a heaven-defying method indeed!” All the elder figures were astounded; An Miaoyi, the Prince of Great Xia, and others too were stirred, all stepping forward.

Wu Ziming, Li Chongtian, and others, upon learning about the Source Heaven Divine Sense, all fell silent, saying nothing further.

Suddenly, Dao Heavenly Sound resonated, immersing everyone as if an unparalleled Dao were emerging from the immortal world.

That stone inexplicably emitted strange sounds, resonating with Ye Fan’s Source Heaven Divine Sense, echoing through the Stone Garden.

It seemed like an enigmatic scripture gently narrating, cleansing the soul.

At the island’s center, under the massive ancient tree where crystalline flower rain scattered, the elder who resembled a deity abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over.

“‘I choose this stone,’ Ye Fan stated calmly, his voice carrying through the garden.” Recommended is “Moon Demon Snow,” a book by our fellow reader, Moon Demon Snow.

It’s a tale of transmigration that stirs waves in the Heavenly Realm.

She was originally the Tuberose Fairy, and they were Heavenly Realm Immortal Venerables…
