Chapter 1345: Chapter 274 Advancing into the True Dragon’s Lair_2

At this moment, before his eyes, the black expanse, endless like a divine dragon, was the True Dragon Lair enveloped in limitless dragon aura, steaming forth. Accompanied by the dazzling fairy mists, it could be said that this was an image that had reached an extreme in its otherworldliness!

No matter who witnessed this scene, they would be shaken to their core, overwhelmed by its magnificence.

This was the true visage of the spirit cave — what Long Yi and the others had seen was simply the surface. Only a cultivator with divine sight like Gu Chen could truly appreciate it.

"Is this the spirit cave?" Gu Chen muttered softly, his eyes still filled with shock.

It was truly a splendid sight – the black divine dragon raised its head to the sky, with endless dragon aura swirling around it, lifelike, and in the void, there were gleaming fairy mists shining brilliantly, illuminating the universe and the Eight Desolations.

Although he didn’t visit the other spirit caves, Gu Chen surmised that they would be much the same, not much different from this one.

"Stay close behind me," Gu Chen reminded Long Yi and the others.

Despite the majestic and spectacular view before them, the thick sense of danger that lurked mysteriously also caused Gu Chen to become alert, daring not to be the slightest bit careless.

Fortunately, the outermost restrictions of the True Dragon Lair had disappeared. As everyone approached the massive black divine dragon, Gu Chen looked at the light gate that only he could see and led the group through it.

Whoosh!

Immediately, a flash of light blinded everyone, and when their vision cleared, they had entered the dragon lair.

Ancient, vast, and remote — these were the the most fitting adjectives to describe the environment inside the dragon lair.

Primordial Qi mixed with sacred melodies and mighty flows of dragon aura surged through the void, blending with various energies — this was a transcendental land!

Ancient charm, vast grandeur, magnificently splendid — standing here, Gu Chen and his companions felt as though they had traveled back to the time before the heavens opened, caught in the midst of the vast universe.

"Did we... just walk right in?" Long Yi and the others were somewhat stunned; they hadn’t expected it to be so easy to enter the True Dragon Lair.

Gu Chen didn’t reply; without the aid of the divine sight, entering the True Dragon Lair certainly wouldn’t have been this straightforward.

"It feels like we’ve come to a different world, not the same as being in the holy realm," Zhen Yuan spoke up, his expression very grave.

"The True Dragon, being a divine spirit, naturally has an extraordinary lair, a great world unto itself," Ren Fei explained to them.

"Let’s move on."

Gu Chen took the lead, and the group advanced. As expected, after arriving here, his divine sight was indeed suppressed and no longer unobstructed.

But even so, he could still clearly see the pattern of rules in the void and the distribution of formation arrays.

The only limitation was that he could no longer observe distances that were too far away; after all, the divine sight was a fourth-grade divine ability and not to be underestimated.

"The appearance of formation arrays within the void itself is truly beyond common understanding," Gu Chen said softly, a statement that made everyone else’s expression grow more solemn.

Ordinarily, the setup of formation arrays required a medium, but the ones before them were not so — under Gu Chen’s divine sight, they appeared directly in the void, making them very difficult to avoid.

"Such a situation can only be dealt with by a top expert in formation arrays, otherwise it’s impossible to achieve something like this," Ren Fei said, his voice heavy.

"Be careful, the power of these formation arrays is great, you need to stay close to me," Gu Chen frowned, even his divine sight, clear as it was, left him feeling dizzy.

After all, he didn’t understand formation arrays, and the naturally formed arrays were too complex; even a grandmaster of formation arrays would be disoriented here, let alone Gu Chen.

Fortunately, he possessed divine eyesight that could discern illusion from reality, allowing him to avoid areas with hidden patterns in the void. They traveled a considerable distance unobstructed.

"What a vast world," Yun Zishu marveled.

"Hm? Look, what’s that?!" At this moment, Zhen Yuan was excited, pointing towards something not far ahead.

"Dragon Blood Grass, True Dragon Fruit?!" Ren Fei exclaimed, his face filled with utter shock.

Who would have thought that they would come across such top-tier treasures so soon after entering the den of the true dragon?

It was not just him; even the other six Great Powers from Qingyun Palace were beaming with joy.

Ahead, there were plentiful amounts of Dragon Blood Grass and True Dragon Fruit, enough for everyone to share.

It was well-known that these two items were considered supreme rarities in the outside world, nearly impossible to find, and not even the holy medicines of tens of thousands of years could compare.

But now, they appeared so plainly before everyone’s eyes, how could they not be thrilled?

"With Dragon Blood Grass and True Dragon Fruit, my physical body could definitely make another great stride!" Gu Chen’s eyes sparkled, unable to suppress the surge of emotions within him.

Mainly because to him, the Ninth Turn Physical Body was too crucial; without it, he could not break through to the heavenly realm.

Just as everyone was about to start harvesting, another group of people appeared not far on the other side.

"Not good!" The sight caused Ren Fei and the others’ faces to instantly shift in color.

"Are those... the Dragon Clan?!" Long Yi was equally astonished, identifying the origin of the group opposite them.

That group, each with an extraordinary demeanor and formidable strength, gleamed like silk in their hair, with dragon horns on their foreheads, clearly one of the imperial clans that ruled the core realms of the Holy World—the Dragon Clan!

Among them, a young man was obviously cherished; his purple hair shimmered and translucent, with dragon horns on his forehead that were more distinct than the other members of the Dragon Clan, glowing with a faint luster.

This person was none other than the young master of one of the top ten races in the upper realm, the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan—Ao Xing!

When Ao Xing caught sight of Gu Chen, his expression also turned grave, with a sense of wariness rising in his heart.

The two parties met, and Gu Chen was slightly taken aback, having not expected to encounter such a formidable enemy so soon upon entering the dragon’s den and discovering treasures.

Ren Fei frowned. He was well aware of the strength of the Dragon Clan, and this was, after all, the den of the true dragon. Although the Dragon Clan members present were not of pure blood, their combat strength would surely receive a boost here.

After contemplating for a moment, he communicated telepathically with Gu Chen, suggesting that they temporarily retreat.

Mainly because the Dragon Clan was indeed strong, and although Qingyun Palace was extraordinary, they did not wish to provoke one of the great imperial clans that had stood for countless eras at the heart of the Holy World.

"Brother Gu, the enemy is formidable; how about we withdraw for now?" Ren Fei said in a heavy voice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen’s brows knotted. Dragon Blood Grass and True Dragon Fruit were very rare, and they greatly aided in refining his physical body. Finding such treasures again would not be easy.

Moreover, achieving the Ninth Turn of the physical body was extremely difficult; Gu Chen had yet to see the gate to success open before him, hence he was reluctant to let go of any opportunity.

At that moment, someone from the Dragon Clan spoke with a cold expression, "It does not matter who you are, leave at once. These items belong to our Dragon Clan, others shall not interfere!"
