Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1698: Chapter 1697: Real Dragon!

At the moment, Lin Dong did not know the impact caused by the battle with Qingye Sanzang.

He did not know that he had officially been placed on the God Ranking, listed at the tenth position!

Nor did he know the attitudes of the leaders of the Nine-Headed Society towards him.

Currently, he had been traveling over the sea for six consecutive hours, finally reaching the ’Dragon Lock’ maritime region.

He didn’t use the speed of the ’Eight Trigrams Feilong Armor’, with a speed of around two thousand kilometers an hour. This maritime region was more than ten thousand kilometers from where he had been before.

The time it took to get here was even longer than the time Qingye Sanzang had taken to rush to Yinghua Country before.

Upon reaching this ’Dragon Lock’ maritime region, Lin Dong dived underwater.

’Dragon Lock’ was located three thousand meters under the sea; as Lin Dong dived down, he quickly found this ’Dragon Lock’ region.

There was a huge dragon skeleton visible, locked down by nine black chains. It seemed that an underwater palace had been built here in the past, but due to the decay over the years, this underwater palace had become a scene of ruins and wreckage.

”One can’t even imagine how many years have passed. It turns out that real dragons did exist in ancient times,” Lin Dong thought to himself, unable to help but wonder as he saw the dragon skeleton.

He came before the dragon skeleton to carefully observe it.

The skeleton alone was a thousand meters long, and its height was as tall as a small mountain.

Despite the countless years, the flesh of this real dragon had long since decayed away, but its skeleton still shimmered with the bright, ivory glow.

A faint trace of dragon qi was seeping out from it.

This was the first time Lin Dong had seen the skeleton of a real dragon and the first time he was certain that real dragons did exist in ancient times.

Real dragons, a species several dimensions higher than flood dragons and other mixed-blood dragon types. It is said that a real dragon at the time of birth is comparable to ’Heavenly Realm Martial Artists’.

From birth, they are protected by Innate Dragon Qi. This Innate Dragon Qi is so strong that it can be discussed in the same terms as the ’Innate Gang Qi’ of ’Heavenly Realm Martial Artists’, surpassing the Immortal Golden Body.

They are born with two dragon claws, and as they age and their strength grows, the number of dragon claws will change.

Looking at this skeleton, it can be seen that it had six claws.

Four claws signify maturity, while six claws indicate it had long since matured.

A six-claw real dragon is an invincible existence even among Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.

If it were still alive, would any martial artist in this world be its opponent? This is an existence that transcends the Heavenly Realm.

”Just what kind of era was ancient times? What were the cultivators of that era like, that they could even lock up a real dragon that surpassed Heavenly Realm Martial Artists?”

Lin Dong was curious in his heart, and he also felt a sense of longing for that era.

In the Age of Dharma End, who would not yearn for the ancient times when Martial Way flourished to its peak?

”This is actually the skeleton of a real dragon.” It was at this moment that a voice rang out in Lin Dong’s mind.

Lin Dong heard the voice and was instantly overjoyed.

He quickly communicated with the other party using his mental power.

”Senior Sovereign Witch, have you awakened? Have you absorbed that Heavenly Realm Remnant Soul?” A few days ago, Sovereign Witch devoured the Heavenly Realm Remnant Soul in the ’Ten Souls Sword’, and had been in the process of assimilating it all this while.

Sovereign Witch nodded, ”Yes, I have completely devoured it. Now my spirit and soul have recovered to their peak. Kid, you actually defeated Qingye Sanzang, a Ninth Stage Grandmaster, without using my power. Your progress is truly fast.”

Last time when Lin Dong faced Palace Master Yang of the Hall of Dark King, Gu Lingtian, who was at the peak of an eighth level Grandmaster, he had to rely on the formidable power of Sovereign Witch to beat him.

But this time, facing the even more powerful Qingye Sanzang, an Intermediate-Realm Ninth Stage Grandmaster, he managed to slaughter him without relying on her strength.

How long has it actually been? Such swift progress in such a short time is even unprecedented to the Sovereign Witch.

Even in her era, she had never seen a monster with such rapid cultivation speed!

Lin Dong laughingly said, ”That’s great, Senior Sovereign Witch. You’ve finally awakened. In a few days, I will return to Dragon Country’s Capital City and begin my life-and-death duel with King Kunlun.”

”I need your help for this battle!”

Even though Lin Dong’s strength had improved beyond comparison to before, even though he had overthrown the entire Yinghua Country Martial Arts World, even if he had slaughtered Qingye Sanzang, the number one figure of the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World, facing King Kunlun, he still had no confidence whatsoever.

”Don’t worry, when the time comes I will lend you my strength,” the Sovereign Witch promised.

Her relationship with Lin Dong now resembled that of a symbiosis. Lin Dong was her host; if Lin Dong died, she would also be doomed.

Naturally, she would do everything in her power to help Lin Dong.

Furthermore, having spent some time together, she had developed some feelings for Lin Dong the person and naturally did not want to see him die.

At the moment, the two of them redirected their gaze back onto the dragon bone in front of them.

Lin Dong curiously asked, ”Senior Sovereign Witch, were there real dragons in your era?”

The Sovereign Witch nodded, ”Yes.”

”Then, Senior Sovereign Witch, have you ever seen a living real dragon?”

”I have seen one.”

”What was that like?”

”Even I, when facing a living real dragon, felt like a firefly in the presence of the full moon. Right, the living real dragon I saw, it was also a six-clawed real dragon!”

Lin Dong was extremely shocked and asked another question, ”Senior Sovereign Witch, do you think there are still living real dragons in our Age of Dharma End?”

”Who knows? The lifespan of those real dragons can span tens of thousands of years, living even longer than Heavenly Realm Martial Artists. It’s possible that real dragons from ten thousand years ago still exist!”

”As long as the spirit and soul of us human cultivators in the Heavenly Realm do not die, the mind will always continue to exist. Like myself, being able to survive from Ancient Times. It’s very likely that other species could as well.”

Hearing this, Lin Dong was once again surprised.

He found that every time he communicated with the Sovereign Witch, it broadened his horizons greatly, allowing him to learn many secrets from her.

”After the death of a real dragon, there’s also a dragon soul. However, the dragon soul from this particular real dragon seems to have been extracted by someone. The purpose of this Dragon Lock Array is to assist that person in extracting the dragon soul of this real dragon! It is unknown who this being is, to actually be able to capture a living six-clawed real dragon,” the Sovereign Witch couldn’t help but sigh.

Hearing this, Lin Dong was startled once again and asked curiously, ”Senior Sovereign Witch, what is a dragon soul?”

”That is the soul of a real dragon, just like the spirit and soul of us Heavenly Realm Martial Artists! Every part of a real dragon’s body is a treasure and is easily coveted by the great abilities.”

”For example, if one were to use the blood of a real dragon to temper the body, there is a chance to cultivate a ’Dragon Blood Holy Body’!”

”And the scales of a real dragon can be used to forge defensive weapons capable of withstanding attacks from ’Heavenly Realm Martial Artists’.”

”As for its claws, they can be used to create sacred weapons!”

”Things like dragon sinew, dragon meat, just a piece of them could compare to herbs of nearly Medicine King level.”

”Of course, the most important thing inside its body is the dragon soul! If one devours the dragon soul, a human cultivator can possess the ’True Dragon’ bloodline! It can enhance one’s cultivation talent, allow one’s body to achieve the defensive capabilities of a true dragon, and even cast ’True Dragon’s power.’ It could also command other weaker real dragons!”

”Moreover, it can also improve the bloodline of one’s descendants. The first generation of children born will possess ’Innate Dragon Qi’ comparable to Innate Gang Qi, just like a real dragon. Although with each generation, the bloodline of the real dragon will gradually dilute, it can at least bless up to eighteen generations!”

”As for this real dragon, the reason it ended up in such a predicament, is clearly because someone coveted its dragon soul...”
