Chapter 2843: Chapter 2843
The Dragon Soul Valley Secret Realm was incorporated into Fang Sihai’s spatial world by chance, but he has never been able to fully refine it.
Therefore, lacking complete control means there’s still some danger in entering it. That’s why Ye Liuyun insisted on accompanying Longnu and the others, fearing they might encounter accidents. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone in with them.
This place is full of dragon souls, so he’s not holding out much hope for treasures, which he could entirely leave to Leiming and the others to collect.
Upon entering Dragon Soul Valley, they immediately felt the eerie chill, as if stepping into the underworld.
Ye Liuyun pondered, "I wonder if my identity as the ruler of the underworld will make these dragon souls behave and refrain from attacking us at will."
Moreover, given the environment here, if an emergency arises, he can use the teleportation black tower to summon reinforcements from the underworld.
Longnu, Leiming, and the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon were all affected by the atmosphere, afraid to speak loudly, and walked cautiously.
"The dragon aura here is very strong!" Longnu communicated to Ye Liuyun.
"You’d better reveal your true forms, so the dragon souls here can recognize you," Ye Liuyun advised them.
They immediately transformed into their true forms, and Ye Liuyun rode the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, flying with them into the deeper parts of the secret realm. Looking down from the sky, he could see the entirety of the secret realm more clearly.
In the distance, he spotted a massive burial site, presumably where the dragon souls gathered, accompanied by a large hall that appeared to be used for rituals.
Ye Liuyun instructed Longnu and the others to fly towards it to see if they could make any discoveries.
He unleashed his spiritual awareness, only to find it blocked everywhere. The area was teeming with powerful dragon souls, rendering his spiritual senses ineffective. Only by fully utilizing his golden eyes could he see that each burial site had a true dragon interred within.
Many of these true dragons had their physical bodies well-preserved, with their spiritual power still intact. If it weren’t for the absence of breath, Ye Liuyun might have thought they were merely asleep.
There were no treasures in the burial sites. Instead, such treasures were hoarded in distant mountain caves, which contained various rare cultivation resources.
After he activated his golden eyes, he noticed five powerful dragon spirits hovering over the distant hall and sky, each a different color, watching them intently.
Ye Liuyun wasn’t sure about the attitude of these dragon spirits towards Long Nu and the others, so he decided to approach and see.
"Stop!"
Long Nu and her companions were halted by Ye Liuyun as they approached the grand hall. Having refined the third eye of an alien, Lei Ming’s golden eyes also allowed her to see the spirits, making her the first to stop.
The Nine-headed Demon Dragon, lacking the foundation of golden eyes, couldn’t see the spirits and continued looking around with Long Nu.
Ye Liuyun cupped his fists towards the five dragon spirits and sincerely said, "Respected Dragon Seniors, I am Ye Liuyun, bringing some dragon clan juniors here in search of opportunities. If we disturb your meditation, please let us know, and we will leave immediately. We ask that you do not harm us!"
"Oh? You can see us?" The golden dragon above the hall spoke to Ye Liuyun in a wizened voice.
"Yes! Not only can I see you, but the Thunder Dragon Beast can also see the seniors," Ye Liuyun replied courteously.
The five dragon spirits looked them over in surprise. Then, a white dragon spirit asked Ye Liuyun, "What’s up with your aura? It has the scent of dragon breath. And what about the human who claimed this secret realm? Did he let you in?"
Ye Liuyun recalled that Ao Ding had once given him dragon breath. He honestly replied, mentioning that Fang Sihai was under his control through a slave mark, though he omitted his identity as the Lord of the Underworld.
The dragon spirits only sensed that Ye Liuyun’s soul instilled fear in them but didn’t associate him with the Underworld.
"Why do they also have soul contracts with you? Have you controlled them too?" a green dragon spirit inquired of Ye Liuyun.
"The Black Dragon and Thunder Dragon Beast can both take human form; they are my women. We have equal contracts to facilitate communication. As for the Nine-headed Demon Dragon, I have indeed subdued it."
Ye Liuyun explained truthfully, knowing there was no need to lie since the dragon spirits could easily verify the information.
In his heart, he evaluated the strength of the dragon souls. Indeed, they were considerably more powerful than him, but it wasn’t as if he had no chance at all.
The dragon souls each communicated with the Dragon Maiden and Thunder. Probably to confirm some information. Afterward, they all looked surprised and gathered to discuss among themselves.
Ye Liuyun didn’t move, instead waiting silently for the outcome of their discussion.
After a while, the golden dragon spoke to Ye Liuyun again, but this time it was much more polite.
"Can you summon the chief of the Dragon Clan, Ao Ding, here? We have something to ask him!"
"Alright, please wait a moment, elders. I’ll go get him."
After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, he used his consciousness to communicate with Ao Ding inside the spatial world, explaining the situation in the Dragon Soul Valley.
Ao Ding, eager to meet these dragon souls, immediately agreed and was brought out from the spatial world by Ye Liuyun to meet the five dragon souls.
This time, the five dragon souls didn’t use telepathy, but communicated directly with Ao Ding.
"We are the Five-Color Dragon Elders. Which world does your dragon clan belong to? How is the clan faring..."
The dragon clan, being a powerful race, once symbolized immense strength and was spread across various galaxies and planets.
So even after talking with them for a long time, Ao Ding couldn’t figure out which branch they belonged to. However, when the dragon souls learned about the scale of Ao Ding’s dragon clan, they were clearly excited.
"Who would have thought that the dragon clan managed to preserve so many descendants! We thought the dragon clan was on the verge of extinction!"
Their tone was filled with a sense of timelessness and emotion.
They then recounted the history of their group. Initially, they led the beast race to contend with humans, but later they were betrayed by the beast race, and the dragon clan was slaughtered by humans.
This place is a burial ground for their dragon clan, but while they’re inside, they have no idea what’s happening outside. They only know that no more of their clan’s bodies have been sent in for a long time. Eventually, they ended up in Fang Sihai’s hands.
Fang Sihai promised to help them find the dragon clan, but has had no success, and in reality, he was just deceiving them.
As for which galaxy they come from, Ye Liuyun and the others haven’t even heard of it.
This spatial secret realm has been drifting in the starry sky for an unknown distance or time, and perhaps their original dragon clan has long since perished.
However, since they are all dragons, these dragon souls have finally found their roots.
