Chapter 201 Secret Realm Trial
"Although the spiritual fire that Master Wan tamed is powerful, it is only a spiritual fire. The dragon is a divine beast, and its bones are also divine objects. This kind of divine object needs to be forged with divine fire."
The old City Lord Long explained: "At the beginning, our Long family's ancestor accidentally obtained a wisp of the Six Ding Divine Fire, and used it to forge the dragon bone, and then built this City Lord's Mansion."
"Not only the City Lord's Mansion, but even the walls of Falling Dragon City were built with dragon bones."
The world of cultivation at the time of Long family's ancestor was far from being as stable and peaceful as it is today. Not only were demons wreaking havoc everywhere, but there were also evil cultivators taking advantage of the situation.
At that time, the four saints of the human race had not yet risen, the cultivators had not formed a complete Taoist school, and those who possessed spiritual roots were even fewer.
In order to shelter more mortals and to create a safe place in the chaotic world of cultivation, several major cities were established one after another.
Falling Dragon City was the first one. The ancestors of the Long family at that time were very lucky and accidentally discovered a lot of dragon bones.
The walls she built with dragon bones kept out countless demons and evil cultivators. Mortals who heard of the fame of Falling Dragon City kept coming to seek refuge, making Falling Dragon City the number one big city in the world of cultivation.
Afterwards, Yuxing City, Baique City and others were established one after another. By the time the chaos in the cultivation world was ended by the Four Saints, dozens of cities had already risen.
But as time passed, these big cities were either destroyed by internal strife, annexed by each other, or failed because of the chaos of their city lords.
Gradually, only the last eight main cities remained standing.
The old city lord Long had not been very interested in the past, so he had never taken the time to learn about the history of his own Zhuilong City.
This time, by chance, I saw the handwriting of my ancestors, and learned that their family did not believe in dragons at first. It was only because they relied on dragon bones to gain a glimmer of hope that they changed their surname to Long in memory of the dragon that protected the people in the city.
However, City Lord Long only needs to know these things by himself. At most, he will tell some of them to his future successor, but he will not say a word to the outside world.
“The Six Ding Divine Fire was completely consumed after refining the dragon bones. Now we don’t have this thing in our City Lord’s Mansion.” Old City Lord Long continued.
The eyes of everyone present were already brightening, and they were just waiting for the old City Lord Long to take out the Six Ding Divine Fire so that the dragon bone armor could be refined smoothly.
Unexpectedly, they got such an answer, and everyone's mood dropped again.
Seeing this, City Lord Long hurriedly said, "Don't be disappointed, I saw something else in that book."
"My ancestor didn't possess the Six Ding Divine Fire from the beginning. It is said that she got this treasure from a small wild secret realm. However, she was only given a cluster of sparks. The mother of the Six Ding Divine Fire was still in that secret realm when she left."
Seeing that everyone was interested, City Lord Long continued to introduce: "The ancestors said that she accidentally fell into the secret realm and passed a test to obtain the divine fire. However, because it was only a cluster, she herself did not have a fire spirit root, so over time the divine fire was consumed."
In fact, this point can be understood. After all, it is a divine fire, which is not something that should exist in the mundane world of cultivation.
The former Lord of Dragon City was just a mortal cultivator, not capable of controlling such a powerful thing.
So she only got a cluster of sparks, not the complete divine fire.
“So City Lord Long means to take us to find the Liu Ding Divine Fire?” Finally, City Lord Luo was the first to ask.
That was exactly what City Lord Long meant. He nodded and said, "This Six Ding Divine Fire is not an ordinary thing. Even if we can only get one cluster, it is still a great thing. So I thought that we should have a group of people go to that small secret realm to explore. If we can find the Six Ding Divine Fire, we can not only continue to refine the dragon bones, but also get this opportunity. Isn't it a lot of benefits?"
This is indeed true. Not to mention City Lord Luo, even Master Wan and the others were tempted.
You must know that what the weapon refiner wants most is a special spiritual fire.
Not to mention that this is an extremely rare divine fire!
There was no need for City Lord Long to persuade anyone, as everyone nodded in agreement with his plan. However, the only thing that was still uncertain was where this wild secret place was.
Fortunately, the ancestors of the Long family also recorded this.
"The entrance to the secret realm is hidden on Dragon Ridge Mountain." replied City Lord Long.
Longji Mountain is just like Longshou Mountain, a high mountain around Zhuilong City. Because the mountain is just behind Longshou Mountain and its shape is very much like the back of a giant dragon, it got this name.
Now that everyone knows where the wild secret realm is hidden, everyone must take action to retrieve the Liu Ding Divine Fire as soon as possible.
Without further ado, everyone quickly took action.
Fortunately, City Lord Luo brought a lot of his trusted followers with him this time, so it was natural for them to follow him to explore the secret realm.
However, the old City Lord Long was old and his cultivation was too high, so he was not suitable to go on adventures with everyone else. After much deliberation, he sent his second son and little daughter, who had the most flexible minds.
Both of them have fire spiritual roots. If they have the chance to obtain the Six Ding Divine Fire, it will also help to increase their strength.
Lord Long's children naturally understood his good intentions and agreed without any hesitation.
These monks acted very quickly, and in just half a day, they had finalized their trip to the secret realm.
Early the next morning, everyone formed a neat queue in front of the City Lord's Mansion. This time the team was led by Meng Jun from Yuxing City and Long Zhuihai from Zhuilong City.
The former is City Lord Luo's confidant, and the latter is City Lord Long's son.
Long Zhuihai was harsh in his words when facing Su He and the head of the family. However, he was much gentler towards Meng Jun.
Meng Jun is the daughter of City Lord Luo's current personal bodyguard. She has a talent for cultivation since she was young and is very hardworking.
It is said that the city lord has already reserved the position of future captain of the guard for her, and once she has trained herself, the future security of Yuxing City will be in her hands.
This shows how much City Lord Luo trusts her.
The team leader is already in place, and Long Zhuihai also asked his biological father about the area where the suspected secret realm exists.
He has often traveled to several surrounding mountains in recent years and knows the conditions there like the back of his hand, even better than he knows his own home.
After briefly listening to the instructions from the two city lords, Xie Liuyin and Princess Luo followed the team towards Longji Mountain.
With Princess Luo's level of cultivation, she shouldn't have joined this team. After all, this trip was still somewhat dangerous.
But under Princess Luo's earnest pleading, and thinking that everyone going to the secret realm this time was very reliable, City Lord Luo still agreed to his daughter's request.
After all, she also hoped that Princess Luo could have the opportunity to obtain a ray of the Six Ding Divine Fire. Even though the possibility was very small, City Lord Luo was still willing to let her try.
Xie Liuyin originally thought that Dragon Ridge Mountain was so large that it would probably take some time to find the entrance to the secret realm.
But she never expected that Long Zhuihai was so familiar with this place. Relying on a few words of description from his father, Long Zhuihai had already found the entrance to the secret realm not long after they went up the mountain.
