Chapter 391 - 172: Dragon Burial Land (Part 3)
Clearly...
Within the divine light, there is a certain evaluation method.
Within the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, the clansmen are all busy.
Qin Jin was not idle either.
While never slacking in his cultivation, Qin Jin traveled across the Great Wilderness, following the results of the tribesmen’s investigations, to personally inspect the sites of anomalies.
Meanwhile.
He also used his blessing abilities to enhance the wish power on those outstanding in the tribe, granting them a [ticket].
Effort brings reward, a principle Qin Jin has long understood.
Now with the ability to fly, the progress in investigating the surrounding areas was swift.
Qin Jin confirmed one thing.
The area shrouded in divine light mainly consists of commonplace anomalies, with [ancient lands] like Dragon Gate Peak being less common and quite rare.
This indeed aligns with logic.
Furthermore, within Qin Jin’s mind, this gave rise to certain hypotheses.
Could it be that the sites of anomalies are also the ancient lands sealed by the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron, just not as extraordinary as Dragon Gate Peak, and over the long years, transformations have occurred, reemerging in the world but unable to sustain, thereby only causing anomalies in the environment and failing to fully manifest on Earth?
This speculation holds a significant possibility.
Perhaps the scene displayed in the sacrificial ceremony instilled fear within the surrounding tribes, and the Sacrificial Fire Tribe had prepared for a battle, but so far, no one has trespassed.
However...
The other surrounding tribes were no longer at peace. Some tribes inherently had conflicts, and the emergence of these sites of anomalies became new triggers for disputes, which occurred constantly, even leading to small-scale [wars].
The conflicts between two tribes also caught the attention of others, giving the appearance of surging undercurrents, as if a large-scale chaos was about to erupt.
Today.
At the break of dawn, Qin Jin had already left the tribe, traversing high in the sky, reaching a familiar place.
Dragon Gate Peak.
Surrounding the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, thus far, this Dragon Gate Peak remains the only ancient land, while other sites of anomalies vary in significance but do not match the divine wonder of this Dragon Gate Peak.
Passing through the light screen and entering this spirit-rich land again, Qin Jin climbed to the peak, coming to the arch bridge and looking towards a stone tablet on one side.
The divine wonder was not activated, the stone tablet appeared ordinary, but Qin Jin’s name was etched on it, linking with the countless ages to come to meet the celestial prides of the ancient human race here, writing a new Chapter in the history of Dragon Gate Peak.
His gaze retracted.
A serious expression appeared on Qin Jin’s face.
Dragon Gate Peak is exceedingly unique; crossing the Dragon Gate, the first time has the most significant effect. Besides enhancing one’s strength, it also offers hidden improvements.
He came here, not to attempt to cross the Dragon Gate again.
But...
Visualization!
The essence of the Martial Arts Visualization Technique is that visualizing inanimate objects, though more challenging, is safer than visualizing extraordinary life.
Baji Star is an example.
Dragon Gate Peak, for all its wonders, is not life, perfectly meeting this condition. Moreover, having broken through the limits of life and reaching the level of a Grandmaster, Qin Jin has undergone a qualitative transformation, significantly enhancing his [capacity] for visualization.
His name etched on Dragon Gate Peak serves as a kind of familiarity.
With these cumulative conditions, Qin Jin deemed this an attempt worth making.
His gaze swept around, and Qin Jin found a large stone at the peak and sat cross-legged.
Calming his mind, he adjusted himself.
Immediately, a dense wish power surged around Qin Jin, forming layers of protection, intercepting from all sides.
He certainly wouldn’t attempt recklessly.
Once he sensed any danger or found something amiss, he would immediately stop the visualization, using the wish power to retreat from this place.
This power, greatly related to the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron, is one of his assurances.
Simultaneously...
Other methods were also brewing around him.
Sitting cross-legged in place, Qin Jin closed his eyes slightly, simultaneously deploying his Secret Collection and Enlightenment Treasure Skill, enhancing his comprehension.
Spiritual will fell upon the Dragon Gate Peak below.
Typically, during visualization, as the technique operates, the object of visualization would reveal its extraordinary essence.
However...
This time, in this visualization, the Dragon Gate Peak remained unchanged in perception, and Qin Jin’s intuition did not sense any premonition of danger, nor did any changes occur, as if he had not engaged in visualization at all.
"Is it that Dragon Gate Peak cannot be visualized, or is the gap between it and me too vast?"
"So vast that my visualization cannot bring about any change in it."
As the Visualization Technique operated, Qin Jin shifted his position, first visualizing Dragon Gate Peak. Seeing no movement, his object of visualization gradually shifted upward, finally focusing on the stone tablet.
This time!
Finally, there was a change.
In Qin Jin’s vision, the stone tablet, engraved with the names of various Dragon Gate Pride, was triggered in another way, appearing in the visualization space.
All other inscriptions were dark, except Qin Jin’s own, which shone brightly. In the visualization space, the text floated, transforming into a stream of light, soaring towards Qin Jin.
Qin Jin’s mind slightly stirred.
This stream of light, in the perception of the Visualization Technique, resembled the Extraordinary Factor, yet contained no pollution.
But, rather than being something he attained from visualization, it seemed... to be a gift from Dragon Gate Peak itself!
For he hadn’t yet proceeded with analysis or other steps, and the stream of light hadn’t turned into his own power; rather, it approached and adhered to the surface of his spiritual will, as if autonomously forming protection.
This sensation...
It was as if the stone tablet couldn’t bear his attempts and reached out to assist him.
With swirling light outside his spiritual will.
The Visualization Technique continued.
Resuming its operations, Qin Jin suddenly detected a change.
Beneath him, the previously undisturbed Dragon Gate Peak rippled in his vision, with a lag in his mental faculties. Yet under the protection of that stone tablet’s radiant light, he remained unharmed.
The fluctuation was only the beginning. With the blessing of the radiant light, it was as if he truly possessed the eyes to discern the truth. As the Visualization Technique operated, within Qin Jin’s visualization space, cracks appeared on the surface of Dragon Gate Peak, cliffs collapsed, rumbling thunderously, as if an emerald hidden within stone began to reveal its true form!
Upon detaching to a certain extent, Qin Jin’s spirit experienced a tremor.
He witnessed what was hidden within Dragon Gate Peak.
As the stones crumbled away, gradually revealing...
Bones!
It appeared to be the bones of a colossal being, in an unusual color, with a sacred glow surging forth.
Though he hadn’t seen the entire true form yet, upon witnessing this scene, Qin Jin’s heart was already filled with speculation, rippling with excitement.
What kind of colossal bones lay hidden within Dragon Gate Peak?
With a name like Dragon, only Dragon Bones!
This Dragon Gate Peak is also a Dragon Burial Land!
...
Sacrificial Fire Tribe.
This day, the tribe welcomed guests from another tribe.
The visitor was from the Sun Erosion Tribe, one of those who had witnessed the sacrificial ceremony.
Before him.
A figure arrived slightly ahead of him.
The Eclipse Sacrificial Spirit, Ta Yun!
In this time of surging undercurrents and special relations among various tribes, his visit in the form of a Wish Power Avatar seemed evidently sincere.
The divine light within the Sacrificial Fire Tribe could not be concealed.
Upon arriving at this place, the Eclipse Sacrificial Spirit gazed at the anomaly site in the center, his eyes growing solemn, with a hint of contemplation in his expression.
...
In the Star Sea.
The Xingzhou Ship sailed steadily, entering the corridor designated for star system travel known as the [Teleportation Star Gate].
After traversing through this special star gate pathway, the Xingzhou Ship arrived in a new star system it had never visited before.
[Weiyang Star System].
Compared to the Corridor Star System, here could only be described as desolate. The pioneering was incomplete and had not yet reached the [migration] phase or embarked on full-scale development.
The Candle Kite piloted the Xingzhou Ship forward.
While advancing.
A notification sound arose, and a message from local communications was transmitted.
[Welcome to the Weiyang Star System]
[Please proceed to the following location [Star Map]]
[Wishing you success in the Weiyang Star System]
Since it was a task assigned by the academy, relevant registration had already been completed before setting off.
The Weiyang Star System was still in the pioneering stage, so the systems were more stringent to prevent any incidents that might occur and affect the pace of development.
Following the predetermined route, the Xingzhou Ship sailed steadily through the Star Sea.
