Zither Emperor Chapter 179 Chapter 49 Dragon Domain Part 1

179: Chapter 49 Dragon Domain (Part 1) 179: Chapter 49 Dragon Domain (Part 1) Caught in a dangerous situation, Ye Yinzhu’s heart became even calmer amidst the zither music, as this was his first time playing the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither for such an extended period.

Apart from the fusion of his emotions, he felt the zither’s soul’s melancholy over and over, initiating a process of synchronization between man and instrument.

His zither magic power, which had shown no sign of improvement since reaching the Third Rank Bravery Qinxin Sword, began to ripple amidst the splendid zither notes.

Even Ye Yinzhu didn’t know how many times he had played “High Mountain Flowing Water,” or how long he had stayed in the Dragon Domain.

When he came to his senses from the music, it was because the environment around him seemed to have changed.

If it had been pressure, it would perhaps have made Ye Yinzhu unconsciously infuse his spiritual power into the zither music, but this change was not an increase in pressure, but its disappearance.

Suddenly feeling light, the protective aura formed by the interplay of three different energies vanished without any resistance in the blink of an eye, and Ye Yinzhu, feeling like he was floating, couldn’t maintain his previous balance.

The zither music was affected, and he naturally opened his eyes.

The sky seemed much brighter, causing Ye Yinzhu to instinctively look up, only to be surprised to find that the originally crescent silvery-purple moon had, at some point, turned full.

Its increase in volume, upon being a full moon, naturally brought more light to the Dragon Domain.

At the same time, he realized why the pressure around his body had disappeared—as the violent magic elements were retracting and being absorbed at an astonishing rate.

Their target was the enormous skeletons on the plain, belonging to the Dragon Clan.

Under the glow of the full silvery-purple moon, the absorption of magic elements accelerated, and following that, Ye Yinzhu saw streams of white currents.

What were they?

His sharp spiritual power quickly gave him the answer.

To his shock, those white currents were spirits, the massive souls that had been dispersed in the air were now so condensed.

The white currents looked orderly, gradually dispersing and merging into the dragon bones just like the magic elements, except that these white currents chose only the skulls.

The screeching, somewhat ear-piercing sounds of friction became more intense.

Watching in astonishment, Ye Yinzhu saw the silent dragon bones start to move.

Good heavens!

What was he witnessing?

Piles of giant dragon bones slowly began to rise from the black earth amidst the slow friction, and under the light of the silvery-purple full moon, their wan bones were starkly visible.

At the same time, Ye Yinzhu also discovered a secret.

It was only because the moonlight was bright enough that he could see the mirror-like reflection of light in the distance.

The Dragon Domain wasn’t as vast as he had imagined.

Its seemingly boundless expanse was caused by a mirror-like object’s reflection.

However, Ye Yinzhu didn’t have much time to pay attention to this, as those giant dragon bones had already fully risen.

From them, though he couldn’t sense a hint of life, he could feel tremendous elemental fluctuations and soul power.

Dragon Bones, creatures Ye Yinzhu had never read about in any books.

Even with the reflections from the mirrors creating numerous illusions, a rough estimate told him there were still two to three thousand Dragon Bones here.

Considering the Dragon Clan’s long lifespan, they could live for over twenty thousand years, and now the bined population of the Seven Dragon Cities was only about a thousand.

His judgment was not wrong; the two to three thousand Dragon Bones sufficed to prove this was the only burial ground since the Dragon Clan came into being.

At this moment, Ye Yinzhu’s mind was clouded with a single question: what exactly was the recognition of the Dragon Domain?

Was it to survive among these thousands of Dragon Bones?

He didn’t know how much weaker the Dragon Bones were pared to the real Dragon Clan, but he was certain that even a Ninth Rank Zi rank superpower standing here would probably be unable to survive in front of so many Dragon Bones.

After the white spirit currents entered the skulls of the Dragon Bones, they ignited two faint flames that looked like their eyes.

There were seven different colors of flames, corresponding to the colors represented by the Seven Dragon Cities, seemingly plementing their attributes in life.

The Dragon Bone nearest to Ye Yinzhu was only a few dozen meters away.

Now, several large Dragon Bone heads had turned in his direction, with the faint flames flickering within the skulls, clearly having noticed Ye Yinzhu’s presence.

With his hands on the strings of the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither, his Qi and spiritual power elevated to their peaks, Ye Yinzhu did not make any rash moves.

Although he knew if these Dragon Bones attacked him, he would surely not survive; he would not just stand there waiting for death.

Just then, an aged but powerful voice echoed from all directions, “Who dares to intrude upon the Dragon Clan’s Holy Land and disturb the resting spirits?”

Upon hearing this voice, the Dragon Bones turned their enormous skulls towards the silvery-purple full moon in the sky and did not attack Ye Yinzhu.

Holding the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither, Ye Yinzhu stood up and took out the Dragon Scale that Silver Dragon King Howard had given him from his Space Ring, and spoke loudly, “I’m sorry, I did not mean to disturb the sleeping spirits of the Dragon Clan.

It was Silver Dragon King Howard who sent me here to undergo a trial and see if I could receive the recognition of the Dragon Domain.” Although he didn’t know who was speaking, the ability to municate offered a glimmer of hope.

“Huh.

You, this insignificant human, can actually survive in the Dragon Domain.” Ye Yinzhu felt a lightness in his hand, as the piece of dragon scale had already vanished into thin air.

“Not bad, it’s the aura of the Silver Dragon Clan.

So, you wish to bee a member of the Foreign Dragon Clan?”

Ye Yinzhu asked, “Could you please tell me, how can one pass the test of the Dragon Domain and earn its recognition?”

“It’s simple.

All you need to do is find my true body and stand before it.

Then you will have proven your bravery and strength.

My location is at the center of the Dragon Domain.”

Simple?

How is this simple?

Thinking about the center of the Dragon Domain, he would inevitably have to pass through the guardianship of the Dragon Bones.

Ye Yinzhu didn’t have the arrogance to believe he possessed such strength.

That ancient voice continued, “Although the Dragon Clan has perished, their spirits remain undying.

The Dragon Bones before you possess half the strength they had in life.

They won’t attack you for the time being under my mand.

Since the Silver Dragon King sent you, you may start now.”

“I…” Before Ye Yinzhu could say more, the Dragon Bones before his eyes had already begun to change.

Almost all the Dragon Bones within his vision were looking at his position with their eerie fiery glow, and with a peculiar sound, at least a hundred Dragon Bones rose into the air, flapping their osseous wings and swooping in Ye Yinzhu’s direction.

At the same time, a rumbling sound rose from the ground.

Aside from the cliff behind him, there was almost no escape route left for him.

The Dragon Bones flying in the air, with their bone wings formed by the magic elements of their inherent attributes and their skeletons, were significantly slower than the true giant dragons in speed, but they were so numerous.

A hint of despair appeared in his eyes, and he knew, in an instant, he made his choice.

He propelled himself off the ground, retreating backward like an arrow, leaping towards the bottomless abyss behind him.

He had no other choice.

If he stayed in place, even the attack from just one or two Dragon Bones would be enough to destroy him.

Boom— A multitude of elemental breaths formed at the instant Ye Yinzhu leapt backward, striking where he had just been standing, the bined breaths of hundreds of Dragon Bones, with power definitely surpassing that of ordinary forbidden curses.

Even the aftermath of the explosion caused a sheen of golden light to shield Ye Yinzhu, propelling him back even faster.

The Life Guardian saved Ye Yinzhu’s life once again.

But now, his body had started to fall from a high point, plummeting down into the depths of the abyss.

The shadow of death loomed over Ye Yinzhu’s heart, and various thoughts surged in his mind.

He felt hatred, and it seemed he understood why Zi hated the Dragon Clan so much.

But was it of any use to harbor hatred now?

However, the plex thoughts in Ye Yinzhu’s mind didn’t last for long.

Just when he thought he was about to fall, the ground underneath him trembled violently, and he found footing as if on solid ground.

Unprepared for the sudden jolt, the shock made him stagger and fall, his right foot throbbing in pain, having twisted it.

What’s going on?

Ye Yinzhu, who had narrowly escaped death, found that he was standing in midair above the abyss, surrounded by emptiness, yet his feet felt like they were indeed on solid ground.

Suddenly, he realized that the abyss was just an illusion, that not everything he saw was real.

To his relief, though he could leap out of the cliff’s bounds, the Dragon Bones apparently could not—it didn’t matter if they were in the air or on the ground—they were all bound by some unknown force, merely watching him with flickering malicious eyes, but not pursuing him.

Since this place was solid, could he walk out?

The flame of hope was burning in his heart.

Enduring the pain in his right foot, Ye Yinzhu began to retreat, step by step.

“Don’t dream of leaving.

Since you’ve e here, you either gain the acknowledgment of the Dragon Domain, or you die.

Although you’ve stepped beyond the bounds of the forbidden land, without my permission, you cannot leave this place.” The ancient voice rose once again, sounding so detestable to Ye Yinzhu’s ears.

Just as he said, after Ye Yinzhu had walked only two hundred meters, his body encountered an invisible barrier, extremely solid.

Even Green Silk couldn’t inflict the slightest damage on it.

The contempt at Silver Dragon City, the pain of his fate being controlled by others, and everything he encountered here made the anger deep inside Ye Yinzhu’s heart uncontrollable.

He no longer tried to escape from this place.

With burning rage in his eyes, he just sat down right there.

It was still the Cascade Beads Zither, but this time, the zither music was no longer “High Mountain Flowing Water.” Even if it might not harm these Dragon Bones, he wanted to try.

If only to inflict some slight damage, it could vent some of the fury in Ye Yinzhu’s heart.
