"Don't rush out of Sulong Mountain." Just as Chen Zhou was running hard, Elder Ren suddenly said.
Upon hearing what Elder Ren said, Chen Zhou immediately reduced his speed until he came to a stop.
"Why?" Chen Zhou asked, puzzled.
Given this dangerous situation, why is Elder Ren still telling me not to rush to leave Sulong Mountain? Now that Longwu Tianniu has made such a big commotion, the Sulong Sect will probably send people to search this place soon. If they find me, I will have no way to explain myself.
"Below Mount Sulong lies a massive chasm, insurmountable by true qi alone; one must traverse it via a plank road. And there's only one plank road, not in the direction you're currently heading. So even if you reach the foot of the mountain now, you won't be able to leave Mount Sulong." Elder Ren had been to the Wolong Mountain area before and was naturally very familiar with Mount Sulong. He immediately recognized the existence of that chasm and stopped Chen Zhou from recklessly forcing his way forward.
"Then what should I do?" Chen Zhou couldn't help but ask. He had thought that the Wolong Mountain area in the northern mountains was just a series of continuous mountain ranges, but he didn't expect that there were natural barriers between the mountains.
While Chen Zhou was surprised by the steepness of the mountain range, he also became curious about where the plank road led.
If Master Ren knew, that would be wonderful.
However, Elder Ren was clearly more thoughtful than Chen Zhou, and immediately said, "The changes here over the past ten years or so have not been significant. I can find the way to the plank road. But, it's absolutely not possible now."
Chen Zhou was even more puzzled. Just now, Elder Ren said there was a natural barrier that prevented him from going down, but now he said he knew how to get there via the plank road. Why couldn't he still take him there?
"Why can't it work now?" Chen Zhou's face hardened.
“The Sulong Sect will definitely not kill that Dragon Martial Heavenly Ox, so they can only drive it away. If they drive it away, it will definitely pass by the plank road. So if you rush to the plank road now, you will probably run into them,” Ren Lao analyzed.
After listening to Elder Ren's analysis, Chen Zhou immediately leaped onto a nearby tree and sat down cross-legged. It seemed he really couldn't rush things.
"What about Brother Su Feng and the others? If Brother Su Feng also crosses the plank road at that time, won't he run into the people of the Su Long Sect?" Chen Zhou said worriedly.
Chen Zhou's concerns were indeed not without merit.
"They've been gone for so long, they probably won't run into each other," Old Ren could only say, because he couldn't guarantee that either.
Moreover, Elder Ren overlooked an important matter: the Dragon Martial Heavenly Ox was incredibly fast! Its escape speed was even greater at this moment, so everyone in the Su Long Sect was chasing and expelling it at top speed.
In order to conserve their true energy, neither Su Feng nor Wo Yuan chose the fastest way to escape, so the two groups are very likely to run into each other!
"Well, now we can only pray that the two of them don't run into the Su Long Sect's forces," Chen Zhou said helplessly.
"You don't have time to worry about them now. Take care of yourself first. Your focus now should be on learning dragon patterns," Elder Ren said leisurely as he lay back down.
Before Elder Ren could speak, Chen Zhou had already begun recalling the dragon patterns on the Longwu Tianniu he had just seen. Due to his improved physical abilities, Chen Zhou's memory had also greatly improved. Now, Chen Zhou could almost never forget what he saw, and he had already memorized the dragon patterns after looking at them for a full ten seconds.
At this moment, all the patterns of the dragon design were slowly appearing in Chen Zhou's mind.
"This dragon pattern is so complex, it's even more complex than an array!" Chen Zhou couldn't help but complain.
Indeed, the dragon patterns that Chen Zhou recorded were numerous, and he couldn't recall them all at once; it was all the result of thinking about them gradually.
“Longwu Tianniu has been cultivating dragon patterns for so long, so the dragon patterns he has cultivated are naturally very complex. What I want you to learn is not to cultivate them to this level in one step, but only to learn the basics. Since you have just started cultivating, it would be good if you could have even a basic outline.” Elder Ren said to Chen Zhou without hesitation.
Although what Master Ren said was somewhat harsh, it was indeed true.
"Hmph! Then I'll cultivate a rough version and show it to you." Unable to withstand Elder Ren's mockery, Chen Zhou immediately prepared to study seriously.
So Chen Zhou carefully examined the dragon pattern that appeared in his mind for a while, and then began to cultivate according to it.
In fact, the dragon pattern was not as simple as it looked. After Chen Zhou memorized the dragon pattern and recalled it completely in his mind, a cultivation technique slowly emerged in his mind when he looked at the dragon pattern again.
The name of this technique is Dragon Pattern.
Chen Zhou began studying the first chapter without hesitation.
"This dragon pattern is truly ingenious; it even brings a cultivation technique to mind," Chen Zhou murmured, immersing himself in studying the dragon pattern.
At the beginning, learning the dragon pattern was a circuit for circulating true qi. Chen Zhou followed the circuit and circulated it again and again. After Chen Zhou completed the first circuit, he clearly felt that his body had gained a strange power.
This power is not something Chen Zhou can use at all times; on the contrary, Chen Zhou feels that he can only use it at specific times.
This specific condition must be related to dragon-type techniques or formations.
After circulating his true energy through his body once according to the method in his mind, a faint golden stripe slowly appeared on Chen Zhou's neck. The stripe was very faint and small, distributed on both sides of Chen Zhou's neck.
When the stripes first appeared, they were just thumb-like lines on both sides of Chen Zhou's neck. After Chen Zhou continued to circulate them in his body for two more weeks, the lines gradually increased, but not by much.
