Yuanjing died in a zombie siege during the apocalypse. To gain a chance at rebirth and rewrite his life,
Yuanjing agreed when the demon—oh, no, the system—offered him the opportunity.
...Chapter 568
"Look, dragon ball!" Wan Mengling said in surprise, pointing at the golden dragon ball.
"There is actually a dragon egg! Was it left by the Dragon God? Could it be that Senior Dragon God is a female dragon?" Yuan Jing saw a dragon egg next to the dragon ball. The dragon ball was obviously protecting the dragon egg. It was really surprising.
Uh, it seems that Zhai Yuanjing's focus is a little off: "Maybe it's the unhatched dragon egg left behind by the dragon clan at that time. No matter who the dragon egg belongs to, what should we do now?"
"The Zhan family is coming in." Duan Linzhi interrupted them. The extremely hidden restriction left at the entrance was triggered, which meant that the Zhan family had finally arrived.
Yuan Jing and Wan Mengling looked at each other and said decisively: "A quarter of an hour, we will retreat in a quarter of an hour!"
"Okay!" Wan Mengling's mind was much clearer at this time. Even this quarter of an hour was hard-earned, so he reached out for the dragon ball without thinking. This was the most important treasure. With this, nothing else mattered.
But before he could grab the dragon ball, a barrier appeared on the surface of the dragon ball. Wan Mengling was bounced out and fell heavily to the ground. He was immediately very upset.
"No, I'll try again." Wan Mengling was not willing to give up if he couldn't get the Dragon Ball. This time, he activated his defensive device and reached out again. Unfortunately, a "bang" was heard in the hall again. Wan Mengling still failed. He was anxious. There was less than a quarter of an hour left. What if he couldn't get the Dragon Ball?
"Let me try." Yuan Jing thought for a moment, walked forward and said.
"Okay," Wan Mengling gritted his teeth and took a step back, "I'll go see if there are any other good things." Even if he couldn't get the Dragon Ball, he couldn't return empty-handed after entering the Dragon Palace.
Duan Linzhi did not move and stayed beside Yuan Jing. Yuan Jing mobilized all his abilities, including his psychic heart, and then used his soul power to communicate with the dragon ball to convey his good intentions, especially about the treatment of the dragon egg. If the Tianyuan Realm could not tolerate the existence of the dragon clan, then he could send the dragon egg to a world that could accept the dragon clan.
The good intentions he conveyed were useless, the barrier firmly resisted his hand. However, when he "said" the method of dealing with the dragon eggs, the barrier shook. Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi looked at each other with joy in their eyes, it really worked.
Yuan Jing continued his efforts. Although he did not reveal his identity, he told Longzhu that he could go to other worlds. He solemnly promised Longzhu with his Tao heart that he would definitely fulfill his promise.
The barrier trembled again, and then a golden light flashed, and the barrier retreated. A golden light flew out of the dragon ball and shot into Yuan Jing's sea of consciousness, bringing with it a huge amount of information. Yuan Jing did not bother to check this information, and put both the dragon ball and the dragon egg into the space.
At the same time, the entire Dragon Palace began to shake. Wan Mengling, who had just been collecting treasures, was startled and ran out to check. He saw that the dragon ball and dragon egg were gone, and asked in surprise, "Which two did you collect?"
"We made a deal with Longzhu, let's go, Senior will give us a ride."
"That's great." Wan Mengling was extremely excited. He imagined that the Zhan family would be so angry if they came here and found that the place had been looted and they didn't even see a single person.
The three of them ran out of the Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace quickly rose from the ground, then turned into the size of a fist, flew to Yuan Jing, picked up the three of them, and flew away.
At the entrance, the Zhan family finally found the entrance to the Dragon God Space and broke in. However, when they stabilized their bodies and looked around, they all showed expressions of shock and anger. The large area in front of them looked like it had been gnawed by a dog. What did this mean? Someone had come in before them and looted it.
"Damn it, who leaked the news?" Elder Zhan said angrily.
Some members of the Zhan family cast suspicious eyes on Zhai Yuanhao. He was the only one who joined the Zhan family later and still kept his original surname. It was obvious that he did not consider himself as a member of the Zhan family.
Zhai Yuanjing sneered: "Before you came, did you tell me where you were coming? If you suspect me, just tell me directly. And by labeling me as a suspect, can you clear yourself of suspicion?"
"That's enough!" Elder Zhan shouted, "Why are you still fighting at this hour? Whoever got in here before us didn't stay here long. I want to see who dares to snatch food from our Zhan family. Let's go!"
The most important thing at this moment is not to catch the person who leaked the information, but to catch the cultivator who broke in first. Who knows what they took away? Moreover, he absolutely does not want any information to be leaked, otherwise the Zhan family will face many threats.
A group of people immediately took off and flew forward. Zhai Yuanjing pretended to be angry on the surface, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He only passed the message to his eighth brother and others. Maybe his eighth brother and others found the entrance first. However, with the abilities of his eighth brother and Duan Linzhi, they should not be caught by the Zhan family.
If they really run into each other, there will be nothing that can be done. He will definitely stand on the side of the eighth brother and break with the Zhan family.
They had only been flying for a few minutes when they saw a golden light flying towards the sky in the distance, then it cut through space and disappeared.
"What is that?"
"Damn it, did the person who came in run away?"
Elder Zhan was so angry that his face turned blue. The thing that could lead people to break through the space here and escape must be the most important treasure in the Dragon God Space. He didn't care about the clansmen behind him and flew away at lightning speed.
Finally, he landed at the location where the Dragon Palace used to be. He could tell what was missing at a glance. A palace, the most important core palace. The most important treasure in the entire Dragon God Space must be in that palace.
“Ahhhh!!” Great Elder Zhan roared angrily, “Who is it? Who dares to steal the Zhan family’s things——”
"Boom boom boom!" The Yuan power poured out in all directions along with the anger, sand and rocks flew everywhere, giant trees were uprooted, and several layers of the ground were blown away.
Zhai Yuanhao, who came from afar, was shocked when he saw this situation. It turned out that his realm and strength were still too far behind. This kind of strength could definitely kill him in seconds. He had to endure it any longer.
After Great Elder Zhan had a rant, the situation around him finally calmed down and other members of the clan dared to approach.
"Great Elder, which little thief dares to steal things from my Zhan family?"
Zhai Yuanhao found it funny. When did the Dragon God Space become the property of the Zhan family? Could it be that the Zhan family has the blood of the Dragon God flowing in their veins and are the descendants of the Dragon God?
"Damn it! Don't let me know who did this, or I'll skin him alive and kill him!"
The Zhan family members were angrily denouncing the culprit. Suddenly, Great Elder Zhan looked at Zhai Yuanhao with a pair of fierce eyes. Zhai Yuanhao was shocked. In front of such sharp eyes, it seemed that he could not hide any secrets at all. He was exposed and was terrified.
But Zhai Yuanhao remained calm. He quickly retracted his fierce eyes. Elder Zhan said expressionlessly, "First, split up and plunder the remaining things, and then plan for other things."
"Yes, Great Elder."
Elder Zhan looked at Zhai Yuanhao again, his eyes dark, "You go too."
Zhai Yuanhao clasped his fists, then turned around and chose a direction to search for goodies.
"Great Elder, is it Yuan Hao who..." Zhan Shiqing looked at the Great Elder with an ugly expression.
Elder Zhan said gloomily, "He is the most suspicious. After leaving here, find a way to find his brother and give him a try."
"Okay, Great Elder." In front of the family's interests, what does Zhai Yuanhao, his biological son, mean? Besides, it has only been a short time since he was recognized as his father, so how could there be such a deep affection? The one who really made him feel the father-son relationship was the other son who stayed in Feihong Domain. That was the beloved son on whom he placed all his hopes.
There are still many good things left in the Dragon God Space. The Zhan family turned it upside down, and the harvest should be not bad. However, knowing that this is the Dragon God Space and there are even better treasures here, how can the Zhan family be willing to accept it? Maybe the treasures in the Dragon Palace can allow the Zhan family to produce a martial god. In that case, the Zhan family will not only be the number one family in Feihong Domain, but also the number one family in the entire Tianyuan Realm.
Outside, Yuan Jing and the other two found a secluded place to settle down. Yuan Jing roughly studied the Dragon Palace he had obtained, discussed it with Wan Mengling, and decided that it would not be too late to practice in the Dragon Palace for a while before going out. Improving strength was more important at this time, and they had gained enough.
Yuan Jing touched his chin and said, "I'm worried about my fifth brother. Once the Zhan family finds out that they have been robbed of their food, they will definitely not let it go. The first person they will suspect will be my fifth brother."
Duan Linzhi had to admit this, and nodded, saying, "We must be prepared to meet him, and before that, we should improve our strength as quickly as possible."
Yuan Jing controlled the Dragon Palace to hide, but his control did not prevent it from receiving information from the outside world. He had to pay attention to when Zhai Yuanhao would contact him, and then he and Duan Linzhi would make a full effort to reach the Martial Honor Realm.
With the Yuan Sheng Fruit and the pills given by Su Wei, they were not worried about being unprepared at all.
The Dragon Palace has its own Yuan Qi meridian, so there is no need to worry about the supply of Yuan Qi. Yuan Jing also used the Yuan plants he collected to refine some pills, the quality of which is impeccable.
Time passes without knowing it during one's practice. When the three of them finished their retreat, more than three years had passed outside. They counted on their fingers and found that half of the time for the opening of the Venerable's tomb had passed. They checked their communicators and found that Zhai Yuanhao had only sent one message during this period, which was to report his safety to Yuan Jing. However, more than two years had passed since then, and no more messages had been received since that time.
Yuan Jing put away the Dragon Palace. Wan Mengling looked at it with envy, but he also knew that he lacked some opportunity. Obviously, three of them had entered, but the Dragon Palace chose Yuan Jing, which meant that Zhai Yuanjing had the conditions that met the needs of the Dragon Palace.
Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi looked at the sky. Duan Linzhi said, "Sure enough, it is impossible to survive here. It is not because of the restriction of the Dragon Palace, but because of the space of the Venerable Tomb."
Wan Mengling asked curiously: "What is your current level of cultivation?"
He could feel the aura of Martial Master from the two of them. After all, he had come into contact with many Martial Masters and was quite sensitive to this kind of aura. However, the aura from these two seemed to be deeper, as if it was not just that of Martial Masters. Thinking of their advanced understanding of the laws of space, Wan Mengling was also at a loss.
Duan Linzhi said calmly: "In terms of cultivation, it is only the second level of martial honor."
As long as they have enough energy and their bodies can withstand it, they can advance quickly. After breaking through the Martial Honor level, they find that their improvement speed has not slowed down, but has become faster. They can also apply the laws they have comprehended to their attack methods. In other words, before the fight, he and Yuan Jing did not know what level of Martial Honor their combat effectiveness was.
But even so, Wan Mengling took a deep breath. Not only did he break through the barrier of the Venerable level, but he also raised his cultivation to the second level of the Venerable. How many people in this world can do that?
He said with shame: "I thought I was lucky to have broken through a small level, but now I know that comparison is the thief of anger. However, it will be good for me if you become a Venerable. I will follow you, hehe. By the way, you can't pass the tribulation in here, but you can pass it after you get out. There is no problem in postponing it. Those cultivators who broke through in the Venerable's Tomb in the past also did so."
That's good. If you break through without overcoming the tribulation, you will always lack the tempering and enhancement of the energy of heaven and earth, as well as the recognition of heaven and earth.
The improvement of their cultivation made Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi's movements in the Tomb of the Venerable smoother. They contacted other people while walking, especially Zhai Yuanhao. There was a response from Su Wei and Zhong Zheng, and they were fine, but there was still no movement from Zhai Yuanhao.
"Why don't I give it a try? Five years have passed, and a lot of things must have happened here. We need some information to avoid being too passive." For example, what is the situation of the Zhan family, and whether the existence of the Divine Dragon Space has been spread.
"That's fine. I'm worried about my fifth brother's situation and want to know any news related to the Zhan family."
"Leave it to me. I'm not good at fighting, but I'm good at getting information." Wan Mengling patted his chest and guaranteed. He was now at the eighth level of Martial Emperor, and he would be expected to advance one more level in the remaining five years. After leaving the Tomb of the Venerable, he believed that it wouldn't take him much time to try to be promoted to Martial Venerable.
It’s exciting just to think about it. If it weren’t for this trip to the Venerable’s Tomb, it would probably take him hundreds or even thousands of years to reach this point.
They no longer avoided other cultivators. After hard work, Wan Mengling finally found out that there was a resting place for cultivators in the tomb of the Venerable. It was also the place where the cultivators who came in exchanged information and traded items. The three of them changed their appearance and rushed there. Yuan Jing also told Su Wei, Zhong Zheng and others the news.
When they arrived at the resting place, they found that there were hundreds of cultivators gathered here, which showed that there were a lot of cultivators entering the Venerable's Tomb. These cultivators were either Martial Emperors or Martial Venerables. They would definitely be a very powerful force if released. However, here they were just like ordinary cultivators in the outside world, scheming against each other. It was impossible to find out any news without some means. Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi simply let Wan Mengling inquire.
The two of them strolled around the stalls set up by the cultivators. Most of them sold rare and valuable Yuan plants they had collected, as well as Yuan instruments they had no use for, which they exchanged for elixirs and other supplies. There was also an alchemist who had set up a stall with prices clearly marked for the Yuan plants he needed. Many cultivators took a look and left with regret on their faces. Although they were in urgent need of elixirs, they either didn't have the Yuan plants and rare treasures on sale or they were reluctant to trade them.
There were also cultivators who came forward to talk to them. The two of them exchanged a few perfunctory words. Wan Mengling came over after finding out the news and made a gesture to them. The three of them then walked aside and casually set up a barrier.
