In that darkness, the fist-sized object flickered with a pulsating red light, much like a beating heart.
"This is... a heart?" Luo Wuqing frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes falling on the pulsating red light. She asked with some doubt, clearly believing it to be a heart as well.
After all, it was flashing red light and pulsating; it must have a heart problem.
"Could it be..."
"Is it the heart of the First Emperor?"
Su Yueyao stroked her chin, lost in thought, her fluffy fox ears twitching as she pondered, making her look incredibly adorable: "After all, it's the Burial Valley of Dragons, and it's covered up with dragon blood crystals, so it must be the right place!"
"The Heart of the Ancestral Dragon..."
Upon hearing this, Ning Tian fell silent.
Looking at that beating red heart, I fell into deep thought.
Could this thing really be the heart of the Ancestral Dragon, just as the concubine deduced? The timing, location, and people are all in place: the Burial Valley of Dragons, the essence blood of the Ancestral Dragon, and the Dragon Blood Crystal all prove that this heart is related to the Dragon Heart.
but…
Ning Tian still remembered one thing.
Those are the nine stone gates, three for demons, three for spirits, and three for monsters, which represent the three strongest races in the Tianxuan World today!
If it were simply the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon, then why create these three gates?
Ning Tian didn't believe that the two were unrelated.
thump.
Fluttering, fluttering.
Before him, a crimson heart was still beating powerfully. The surroundings were silent, except for the even breathing of the two women and the pulsation of the red glowing object in front of him.
"Judging from the sound, it is indeed a heart..."
Ning Tian murmured to himself, frowned, and silently analyzed the situation.
"Um?"
"etc…"
"A sound?" Ning Tian murmured, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something. He took a deep breath, then activated his music cultivation method, closed his eyes, and listened to the sound of the heartbeat.
Although the two women were somewhat puzzled, they simply watched quietly without disturbing the conversation.
Inside the dark, deep cave.
The three remained silent. Ning Tian circulated his musical energy, closed his eyes, and focused on the pulsating sound.
After a while.
"I see." Ning Tian slowly opened his eyes, a confident smile appearing on his lips. Looking at the pulsating red light before him, he immediately understood many things. He knew that this was definitely more than just the Ancestral Dragon Heart!
"Um?"
"Husband, what have you discovered?"
Upon seeing this, Luo Wuqing and Su Yueyao were immediately curious and looked at Ning Tian, asking him questions.
"It's very simple."
Ning Tian smiled, then looked at Su Yueyao and said, "Little wife, try to activate the music channel, then ignore all the surrounding noise and focus on listening to the pulsating sound."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yueyao nodded thoughtfully.
then.
Following Ning Tian's instructions, Su Yueyao closed her eyes and circulated her inner energy. After a while, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them. She looked at Ning Tian and asked, "Husband... this dragon heart..."
"There's still one heart!"
Su Yueyao's beautiful eyes widened, a hint of surprise in them.
Dragon's heart...
It even has a heart!
"How did you perceive it?" Luo Wuqing frowned slightly. Although she was a favored daughter of heaven, she really knew nothing about music, so she was a little confused as she listened to what the two of them were saying.
"It's very simple."
“Wife, you’re not yet an expert in music, so I’ll explain it to you in the simplest way.” Ning Tian chuckled, turned around and looked directly at Luo Wuqing in the darkness. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and placed it on her chest with practiced ease.
What are you doing?
Seeing this guy's actions, Luo Wuqing was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face darkened.
"Honey, don't overthink it. I'm just explaining something to you, giving you an example, you understand?" Ning Tian said with a smile, showing no intention of pulling his hand away, after all, he really was just giving an example!
"For example..."
"Don't you have a heart?"
Luo Wuqing rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
Ning Tian: "No."
"??"
A few question marks appeared above Luo Wuqing's head. She suddenly realized that even she was starting to lose control of her husband's shamelessness: "Fine, whatever."
"hey-hey."
Ning Tian chuckled mischievously, but as he said, he really didn't do anything else; his hands were perfectly still. He said seriously, "Wife, close your eyes and listen carefully to your heartbeat. With my hand on it, you should be able to hear it more clearly."
"Um."
Luo Wuqing nodded slightly and gently closed her beautiful eyes.
I closed my eyes, and it felt as if everything around me had quieted down.
thump…
flapping... flapping...
A series of soft, rhythmic thumping sounds rang out.
"Honey, how are you?"
At this moment, Ning Tian's voice rang out, "This guy's hands still couldn't stay still after all."
really…
A man's words are deceitful.
Luo Wuqing's originally gentle heartbeat was suddenly disrupted and became rapid. She opened her eyes, glared at him, moved his hand away, and asked irritably, "So? What are you trying to say?"
"hey-hey."
Ning Tian smiled. He had gotten a good deal and taught a lesson, so this was a worthwhile trade.
“In the Tianxuan World, the heartbeat frequency of any living being is roughly like a thumping sound.” He looked at the pulsating red light in front of him, his expression gradually becoming serious: “But… this one is different.”
"Its frequency, however, is a large, thumping beat followed by a smaller beat."
"If Yueyao and I hadn't both reached the Saint level in music appreciation, and hadn't developed an extremely sensitive sensitivity to sound, we probably would have overlooked this small detail. This tiny fluctuation is the most important and the one that cannot be ignored!"
Ning Tian smiled confidently.
Fortunately, he had a strong grasp of music, otherwise he would have almost missed it.
Upon hearing this, Luo Wuqing frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
"This thing should be the heart of the Ancestral Dragon, tsk tsk... but what's inside is unknown. Something nurtured with the heart of the Ancestral Dragon must be extraordinary. It seems that this thing is destined to be a great opportunity for me."
Ning Tian smiled.
Then, he drew the Crimson Sky Sword.
"Wife, step back a little, let me cut out this dragon's heart!"
If the old man, the Undying Dragon Emperor, knew these words, he would definitely be heartbroken and roll his eyes back, perhaps even foaming at the mouth and fainting. After all, this was the heart of the Ancestral Dragon! The Ancestral Master could just cut it off without hesitation.
But there's no other way; without cutting out the dragon's heart, nothing can be extracted from it.
"No, thank you."
"We will stand by your side and protect you."
However, both Luo Wuqing and Su Yueyao shook their heads, as the two women were not at ease about Ning Tian's safety.
"OK."
"Then... let's begin."
Ning Tian smiled warmly, then drew his Crimson Sky Sword.
