Chapter 3270: Inner and Outer Dragon Tombs, Long Sheng’s Injury
Long Sheng left the dragon blood lake and walked in another direction.
As he walked, he spoke as if talking to himself, "The ancestral grounds are vast. Besides the dragon blood lake, the elders have hardly been to any other places."
"It’s not that they don’t want to go, but the dragon race has rules. They don’t qualify to go."
"In our dragon race, there are several surnas. The most nurous is the Ao surna, but the highest status belongs to the Long surna."
"The successive clan leaders have all been from our Long lineage."
"Only we of the Long surna can visit other places in the ancestral grounds. Of course, not all with the Long surna qualify."
"For example, the clan leader has this right."
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "And pseudo-Great Dao realm beings like you."
Long Sheng wasn’t surprised at all to have his realm seen through. He continued, "Elder Lin should know about the dragon tomb, but Elder Lin may not know that the dragon tomb is divided into inner and outer parts. What outsiders know is all the outer tomb. Even so elders in the dragon race don’t know about the true inner dragon tomb."
"In this generation, only Long Wei and I know about the inner dragon tomb."
Lin Moyu said, "Now there’s one more honorary elder who knows."
Long Sheng laughed heartily, "That’s right, that’s right. Now Elder Lin knows too."
"Actually, the inner dragon tomb isn’t a particularly big secret. It’s just that there’s no need to talk about it."
Lin Moyu said, "It seems the matter you want my help with is related to the inner dragon tomb."
Long Sheng nodded, "That’s right, it is indeed related to the inner dragon tomb. But before discussing this matter, I should first let Elder Lin know about the origin of the inner dragon tomb."
Lin Moyu said, "This Lin is all ears."
Long Sheng slowly recounted the origin of the dragon tomb for Lin Moyu.
The dragon tomb is the burial place for dragons after death. Because of their special bloodline, as long as their bloodline can evolve to the divine dragon level and their realm reaches the seventh level Dao Venerable, they can use secret techniques to preserve their true spirit after death.
If dragon race descendants need it, they can summon them to revive again and fight for the dragon race.
But they can only revive once, and the duration isn’t long.
It’s precisely because of the existence of the dragon tomb that other races don’t dare to truly provoke the dragon race.
The number of ancestors accumulated by the dragon race over countless years is astonishing. If they were to revive and take revenge, other races couldn’t bear it.
This ti the Three Lives Buddha Patriarch wanted to exterminate the dragon race because Withering and Flourishing Elder could act to suppress the entire dragon tomb.
But the Three Lives Buddha Patriarch didn’t know at all that the dragon race had another inner dragon tomb.
The inner dragon tomb isn’t in dragon race territory, but in the dragon race’s ancestral grounds.
It also buries many dragon race ancestors. Many dragon race ancestors who died in the Origin Catastrophe are mostly buried in the inner dragon tomb.
The dragon race ancestors buried in the inner dragon tomb are much stronger than those in the outer dragon tomb.
Seventh level Dao Venerables are as common as cows’ hair, and there are many eighth and ninth level ones too. Even pseudo-Great Dao realm and true Great Dao realm beings can be found.
If the dragon race truly encountered a crisis, Long Wei as clan leader could awaken the ancestors in the inner dragon tomb, letting them temporarily revive and leave the ancestral grounds to fight for the dragon race.
At that ti, even if Withering and Flourishing Elder acted, he would probably have a headache.
Even if Withering and Flourishing Elder was fine, the Hundred Herbs Alliance would very likely be finished.
However, now so accidents have occurred in the inner dragon tomb.
After finishing recounting the origin of the inner dragon tomb, Long Sheng continued, "In the recent 100,000 years, so problems have appeared in the inner dragon tomb. So ancestors’ true spirits have left their dragon bodies and turned into the giant beasts you saw earlier."
"Although those giant beasts’ combat power is far inferior to the ancestors, because they retain so of the ancestors’ characteristics, their defense is extrely strong and they’re difficult to defeat."
"Moreover, this problem has been expanding over the past 100,000 years. More and more ancestral true spirits have been affected."
"The reason they ca to attack Elder Lin earlier is because in their instinctive mory, the dragon blood waterfall is most important."
"As long as soone enters the dragon blood waterfall, they will co. It’s actually an instinctive protection."
After listening, Lin Moyu quietly pondered, sorting out his thoughts. "So you’re saying that although these ancestors’ true spirits have mutated, they still retain so instincts. Then what do you want to do?"
Long Sheng said, "This old man has co many tis but couldn’t find the root of the problem. I hope Elder Lin can find the source of the problem."
Lin Moyu said, "Can’t we just clear them out?"
Long Sheng shook his head, "When we first discovered the true spirit mutations, we had already started clearing them out. At that ti, this old man personally took action and indeed cleared them out thoroughly. But it was of no use. After not many years, the true spirits began mutating again."
"Over these years, this old man has been researching this problem. Though I haven’t found the root cause, I’ve found so patterns."
"The more true spirits that mutate, the faster the influence on other true spirits. The speed of mutation will get faster and faster, like a plague."
"Previously this old man could still clear them out, but later I had so accidents during cultivation and can no longer take action."
"That girl Long Wei doesn’t have enough power. It’s quite troubleso for her to clear them out. Now the number of true spirits has beco very large. Even if we mobilized the entire dragon race’s power, it would be difficult to clear them out."
Lin Moyu asked curiously, "Then can’t we awaken a non-mutated Great Dao realm ancestor?"
Long Sheng said, "We thought of that before, but it was of no use. The awakened ancestors don’t have much wisdom. They won’t attack their own kind. Elder Lin sensed it earlier, didn’t you? Those mutated giant beasts have the dragon race’s aura. That’s the aura of the true spirits. They’ll be considered the sa kind."
Well, almost all paths seed to be blocked.
Lin Moyu looked at Long Sheng’s calm face, "You don’t seem to be in much of a hurry?"
Long Sheng said, "What use is there in being anxious? Moreover, the worst outco is just that the inner dragon tomb can no longer be used. As long as we don’t enter the dragon blood waterfall again, it’s actually not a big deal."
"The dragon race is still the dragon race. On the Origin Continent, it’s still not easy to exterminate us."
Long Sheng was telling the truth. This was indeed the case.
Over so many years, the dragon race hadn’t even used the outer dragon tomb, let alone the inner dragon tomb.
With the dragon race’s strength, without using the inner dragon tomb, only Great Dao realm beings like the Three Ancestors could exterminate them.
Lin Moyu said, "If that’s the case, then why do you still want to solve this problem?"
Long Sheng said, "The existence of the inner dragon tomb is equivalent to a trump card. Elder Lin should understand that naturally, the more trump cards the better."
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "You yourself are a trump card for the dragon race."
Long Sheng laughed heartily, "Elder Lin is joking. With trump cards, naturally the more the better."
"Moreover, this old man’s trump card has already rotted. It may not be able to have an effect."
Lin Moyu understood his aning, "Then can Elder Sheng tell how you were injured? I see that your soul injury wasn’t from the Great Dao heavenly tribulation."
Long Sheng said, "Indeed it wasn’t from the Great Dao heavenly tribulation, but in the Soul Void."
Long Sheng recounted his experience of being injured. At that ti, he had passed through the Great Dao heavenly tribulation and beco a pseudo-Great Dao realm being.
Not being able to beco a Great Dao realm being was his regret, but he always held hope in his heart that he could beco a true Great Dao realm being.
He looked through a large amount of historical records and finally found a thod. That was to go to the Soul Void and absorb souls from the Soul Void. Perhaps there was still a slim chance.
Then he went, but he didn’t lose his reason. He always maintained a certain range of activity.
As a result, his luck was very bad and he encountered a powerful soul.
Not only did he fail to absorb the soul, but he was also severely injured himself.
