Su Rui and his team decided to use the floating island they had first landed on as their starting point for their search, gradually expanding their search radius in all directions, searching for the legendary Dragon Bone and other precious treasures. To prepare for any unexpected situations, they continued with their previous strategy: using the Xuanwu Dao soldiers as the main force, with Su Rui and the others acting as their "limbs." This approach would maximize safety and limit the search radius to within three kilometers.
During their long and arduous search, Su Rui and his team encountered void plant communities, upside-down rivers, rootless fires, and even more devastatingly, they encountered the remains of a true dragon, imbued with the will of a true dragon, and engaged in a fierce battle with it! These remarkable sights and artifacts were eye-opening, and they also reaped a rich harvest—they found several invaluable true dragon skeletons and numerous rare treasures.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Shi Yi finally found the true dragon body he had always dreamed of, and Guo Yiming was also lucky enough to obtain two complete true dragon souls.
The true dragon's body lay hidden in the deepest part of an inverted river, where the rich Yellow Springs water converged. Deep within the river, a crystal coffin formed from the condensed Mysterious Dark Water lay. Sealed within this icy coffin, the true dragon's body remained as if deep in sleep, yet remarkably alive, as if it had just breathed its last.
You should know that Huangquan True Water and Xuanming True Water are both among the seven true waters. It costs a huge price to obtain any one of them. But I didn’t expect that there are so many of them here, and they are even used to preserve the body of a real dragon. It is really a luxury!
Yet, just from these meticulously arranged arrangements, it's clear this dragon harbors a desire for rebirth! It's widely known that Huangquan True Water possesses miraculous properties, including nourishing the soul, fostering reincarnation, and returning to one's origins. As for Xuanming True Water, it's an extremely cold and bitter substance, powerful enough to freeze everything and even, to a certain extent, freeze the passage of time. Using Xuanming True Water to protect his body, ensuring its immortality; and using Huangquan True Water to warm his soul and achieve a return to his origins—why would he go to such lengths if not to attempt resurrection?
Faced with such a rare and precious treasure, even Su Rui, a practitioner of the True Fire Way, was helpless. Ultimately, both the True Water and the True Dragon's body were confiscated by Shi Yi. After all, when Shi Yi transformed into the Cangshui Ape, he was born with the Mysterious True Water as a protective barrier. When it came to controlling water, he was undoubtedly an expert.
As for the two True Dragon Souls Guo Yiming obtained, they were obtained from a towering, unnamed, strange tree. This strange tree seemed to subdue dragon souls and act as a guardian. A Chi Jiao, while searching a patch of ethereal flora, discovered it and nearly subdued it. Fortunately, Su Rui reacted quickly and saved her. Ultimately, Guo Yiming set up a talisman formation, while Su Rui used the Xiantian Gengjin Chi Lei Sword Evil as her primary attack, utilizing the Five Elements principle of metal overcoming wood, to chop down the unknown, strange tree. Ultimately, Guo Yiming obtained two True Dragon Souls, while Su Rui obtained a single, upright trunk.
While everyone gained something, the most important goal of their quest—the Sky Dragon Skeleton—was nowhere to be found. Faced with this situation, Wu Qianqian remained remarkably calm, showing no sign of anxiety or discouragement. She explained that even in ancient times, Sky Dragons were extremely unique beings. Although the Putuo Sect had determined through various calculations that the Sky Dragon Skeleton was hidden within the True Dragon Cemetery, finding it in such a vast area was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
During their exploration, the group even encountered two other Putuo Sect teams. Surprisingly, they also failed to find any trace of the Tianlong skeleton, and even the White Bone God, who had entered the cemetery first, was nowhere to be found.
Upon hearing this news, Su Rui couldn't help but wonder: It might be understandable that he couldn't find any clues to the Heavenly Dragon's skeleton, but how could the White Bone God have no clues after just entering this place? Where exactly was he? What was his purpose in venturing into the True Dragon Cemetery? Could he also be after the Heavenly Dragon's skeleton?
With these questions in mind, Su Rui's mood became increasingly heavy.
As the group marched forward without stopping, they heard a roar and a dazzling light not far ahead. Looking closely, they discovered a fierce battle taking place dozens of miles away. The spectacle was jaw-dropping. Without hesitation, the group immediately unleashed their flying skills, transforming into streaks of light and sprinting towards the scene of the battle at lightning speed.
The short distance of several dozen miles passed in the blink of an eye. Su Rui, relying on his unique magical power, the "Mori Golden Light Pupil," peered from afar and saw the battlefield clearly. One of the factions was the Putuo Sect. They had successfully condensed a giant white tiger statue, eight or nine feet tall, and were engaged in close combat with a group of true dragon skeletons.
He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things - the enemies that Putuo Sect encountered this time were actually a group of real dragon skeletons with green flames burning in their eye sockets!
His expression suddenly darkened, becoming extremely serious, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Qianqian, activate the Black Tortoise Dharma Immediately! Everyone, pay attention! The White Bone God might be hiding in a dark corner nearby!"
Although it was possible that these real dragon skeletons awakened for other reasons and then fought with the Putuo Sect disciples who disturbed their sweet dreams, Su Rui still held the worst plan, believing that these real dragon skeletons were either awakened by the White Bone God or were controlled by him.
Wu Qianqian always obeyed Su Rui's orders and never doubted his judgment. So when she heard Su Rui say this, she immediately ordered her Xuanwu Dao soldiers to move quickly, forming a battle formation, concentrating their strength to summon the Xuanwu Dharma Image, and using this powerful formation to protect Su Rui and everyone else.
Besides Su Rui's small group, two other nearby Putuo Sect elders also rushed to support them. Seeing their own disciples suffering under the siege of the True Dragon Skeletons, they immediately led their Taoist soldiers to unleash their magical powers, conjuring the form of a gigantic celestial snake and a mighty fire lion, and charged directly at the True Dragon Skeletons.
Unexpectedly, with their participation, True Dragon Skeletons emerged like mushrooms after rain, their numbers increasing exponentially! Initially, only five True Dragon Skeletons were engaged in the fierce battle, but in an instant, more than a dozen True Dragon Skeletons emerged from the distant floating islands and rootless plant communities. Furthermore, several True Dragon Skeletons charged directly towards Su Rui and his teammates, who were several miles away.
Faced with such a sudden change, Su Rui thought to himself, "As expected, the White Bone God is definitely behind all this! He first used the White Tiger Taoist soldiers of the Putuo Sect as bait, luring other Putuo Sect teams into the trap. Now it seems that we have fallen into his carefully laid trap..."
At this moment, Su Rui was absolutely certain that everything that was happening before his eyes was a conspiracy planned by the Lord of Bones.
