Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Chapter 220 Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale

The dragon had brought them out through a portal, but now they couldn't open that portal again.

Then how to bring Elder Yan into that mysterious pure white space became a difficult problem.

The rough stone wall appears particularly hard and cold under the sunlight, as if it is the most stubborn barrier of nature.

Gu Yang reached out and gently touched the stone wall, feeling the cold touch. His brows were furrowed and his heart was filled with anxiety.

Hu Qing paced back and forth, his eyes flashing with thought, as if he was looking for clues to solve the problem.

"What's wrong? Is it here?" asked Elder Yan.

"Elder, Senior Dragon used a portal to send us out, but we were too weak to find the entrance at all." Hu Qing answered truthfully.

"That's easy. Just look at me and point out the general direction."

Elder Yan's gaze swept across the stone wall, his eyes flashing with a deep and wise light.

He took out a white jade sword from his waist. The sword body shone with a faint luster in the sunlight, appearing particularly translucent.

Hu Qing stared with his eyes wide open. In his impression, weapons like long swords were all made of metal. This was the first time he saw a sword made of white jade.

Gu Yang didn't find it strange at all. Instead, he watched Elder Yan's techniques to see if he could learn anything from them.

I saw Elder Yan casually swiping on the stone wall. Every stroke seemed so calm and unhurried, as if he was looking for something.

Every time it was swiped, the space could feel a distinct sense of being torn apart, and one or two pieces of space fragments could fly out of the shaking cracks at any time.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang's eyes followed Elder Yan's movements closely, and their heartbeats accelerated with every movement of Elder Yan.

There is no need to be afraid of this. They do not have the strength of Elder Yan. If they are accidentally hit by the space debris, they will probably be dead.

But they couldn't dodge, as that would be embarrassing. After all, every move of Elder Yan might determine whether they could enter that mysterious pure white space again.

Finally, Elder Yan stopped what he was doing, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He found the key spatial node, which was the trace left by the dragon's portal.

He took a deep breath, and thrust out the white jade sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the spatial node.

"boom!"

A loud bang exploded in the air, and the entire stone wall was torn open by Elder Yan's sword, revealing the pure white space inside.

Looking at the familiar pure white inside, Hu Qing and Gu Yang couldn't help but be shocked.

They didn't expect that Elder Yan found a way to enter so easily, and it didn't even take much time.

The three of them stepped over the broken stone wall and stepped into the white space.

The already thin spiritual energy here has completely disappeared, and the previous stench has also dissipated.

The entire space seemed exceptionally empty and quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the space.

Elder Yan sensed the breath of the dragon, and his eyes became extremely solemn.

He took Hu Qing and Gu Yang and walked quickly to the left. Their footsteps were particularly clear in the pure white space.

After a while, they saw the familiar cave. Hu Qing and the others couldn't help feeling sad when they thought that it had become the coffin of the giant dragon.

The entrance to the cave still stands there, as if waiting for their return.

A complex emotion surged in Hu Qing and Gu Yang's hearts. They remembered their encounter with the dragon, the dragon's sacrifice, and the responsibilities they shouldered.

Elder Yan stood in front of the broken cave entrance, looking at the once indestructible stone wall that was now in ruins, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Time is merciless, and even a powerful dragon cannot escape the cycle of fate.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, then turned around and said seriously to Hu Qing and Gu Yang:

"The passage inside the cave may have been damaged. You two must follow me closely and don't fall behind."

Hu Qing and Gu Yang nodded, they knew that Elder Yan's concerns were not unfounded.

This passage is not stable now. Follow Elder Yan. If it collapses, there will be tall people to help hold it up.

The three of them stepped into the passage cautiously. Elder Yan took the lead, and the white jade sword in his hand emitted a faint light, illuminating the road ahead.

His steps were firm and steady, each one seemed so leisurely, and he would remove some moss from the wall from time to time.

The air in the passage was filled with the smell of dust and gravel, and the oppressive atmosphere could be felt with every breath.

Elder Yan swung the white jade sword in his hand from time to time, smashing the rubble blocking the road into powder and clearing the way for the three people.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang followed closely behind, their eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

The three of them walked all the way to the cave at the bottom, only to find that it was also buried in rubble.

Huge rocks and rubble piled up like mountains, blocking the originally spacious cave.

Elder Yan frowned, thinking that the dragon's corpse might be buried under these rubbles.

"Let's work together to clear these stones. Give me the big ones, and you two will leave the small ones." Elder Yan said in a deep voice, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang immediately took action. They used the spiritual weapons in their hands to start clearing the rubble bit by bit.

These fragments appear to be loosely structured, but unexpectedly they are extremely hard.

Every swing of the weapon in their hands seemed so difficult, but they gritted their teeth and persevered in chiseling.

Sweat oozed from their foreheads and their breathing became rapid, but none of them complained.

After all, Elder Yan was also doing this for the dragon. He didn't say anything when facing those bigger stones, so how could they give up?

After some effort, the three finally cleared the stones, revealing the scene underneath.

There was a huge skeleton lying on the ground. Even though the skeleton had lost its life, it still exuded a faint dragon power, showing how powerful it once was.

The stones that hit the skeleton just now did not cause any fractures, and there was not even a scratch on the bones.

A sad look appeared on Elder Yan's face. He walked slowly forward and gently stroked the dragon bone.

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, as if he was saying goodbye to an old friend.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood behind him, looking at Elder Yan's depressed mood, their hearts were also filled with sadness.

"The dragon has passed away, and its remains are left to me for safekeeping." Elder Yan's voice was choked with sobs, and he carefully put the dragon bones into the storage ring.

Then, he swept his eyes across the ground, which was covered with the giant dragon's aging scales.

He searched for a long time before finally picking up the largest piece of heart-protecting dragon scale on the ground.

The dragon scales still emitted a faint glow, with complex runes flowing on them, making them look particularly mysterious.

Elder Yan glanced at the two people who were feeling uncomfortable behind him, and as if he had thought of something, he looked at the dragon scale in his hand with amusement.

He turned around and handed the dragon scale to Hu Qing, his voice tinged with a hint of amusement:

"You two, this heart-protecting dragon scale is the hardest part of the dragon's body. It carries the dragon's heritage. You must keep it well. It may play an important role one day in the future."

Hu Qing and Gu Yang did not notice anything unusual and solemnly took the dragon scales. Their hearts were filled with gratitude and responsibility.

This is not just a dragon scale, but also a gift left to them by the dragon and a mission they must undertake.

After the two men put away the dragon scales, they turned around and met Elder Yan's scrutinizing gaze.

"What's wrong, Elder? Did something happen?" Gu Yang asked anxiously.

"Now it's time to tell us the secrets about you. There's no one else here except the three of us. Where is the fragment of the twin flowers on the dragon's body?" Elder Yan asked.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other and felt relieved. Since Elder Yan knew that the dragon had the fragments of the holy weapon, it meant that they had a close relationship.

Otherwise, how could the dragon, being so powerful, tell such an important matter to the relatively weak Elder Yan?

So, the big stone in their hearts finally fell, and Elder Yan briefly recounted the entire process from their meeting to their encounter with the dragon.

Afraid that Elder Yan wouldn't believe him, Gu Yang took out all the fragments of the holy weapon from his dantian, which made Elder Yan's brain short-circuit.
