Chapter 1358: Chapter 281 Dragon’s Nest: Sudden Change_2

"Alright." Gu Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, he released Gu Qingyan and Princess Xidie, Yun Zishu, and Zhenyuan from the Cosmic Cauldron, asking them to leave that place with Long Yi and wait for him outside.

"You must be extremely careful!" Upon learning of the situation, the four were very obedient, though they could not help but worry about Gu Chen’s safety.

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

After uttering these words, Gu Chen parted from them. In a flash, his silhouette disappeared from where he stood, heading alone towards the deepest part of the True Dragon Den.

He too wanted to see if the astonishing upheaval within the dragon den was caused by the birth of a celestial spirit.

Moreover, to perfect the Immortal Sacred Body and the divine diagram of the spirit, slaying dragon beasts was imperative.

Gu Chen surmised that the previous frenzy of dragon beasts had a definitive connection to this.

At the same time, in various locations within the True Dragon Den, monks were making their way toward the deepest part of the den.

Clearly, Gu Chen’s speculation aligned very closely with their own thoughts.

Many believed that the recent anomaly could very well signal the emergence of a celestial dragon spirit!

The scion of the Three Pure Heavens, that young Taoist with a smile playing at his lips and an exceptional gleam in his eyes, gazed towards the deeper parts of the dragon den and softly muttered, "Has the Dragon Lord left any descendants here?"

The Dragon Lord was the supreme celestial spirit and leader of the True Dragon Clan in a previous eon.

Facing an epochal catastrophe, he had joined forces with the Ice Emperor and others in a campaign and had once come to the upper realms, leaving behind a contingency plan.

The young Taoist, a successor to the sovereign of the Three Pure Heavens, was aware of this as well.

"Om mani padme hum." At this moment, in another part of the dragon den, a young monk radiating Buddha’s light clasped his hands together and chanted a long Buddhist mantra.

Ghostly Son, who had just battled Gu Chen and then left the True Dragon Medicinal Garden, fixed his deep gaze on the depths of the den and murmured to himself, "If a celestial spirit has appeared, seizing its divine fortune will surely elevate my power to the next level!"

Aside from him, members of the Heavenly Clan, the Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan, and other monks were all hastening toward the deeper reaches of the True Dragon Den.

However, the deeper they ventured, the greater the dangers became. Enormous waves of dragon beasts surged forth from the depths, and the monks’ screams echoed one after another.

The bloody carnage unfolded here with victims from both the upper realms and the native inhabitants of the Holy Realm.

Gu Chen naturally encountered dragon beasts along the way but dispatched them with ease.

Meanwhile, as he pressed on, Gu Chen’s expression grew increasingly grave.

He sensed a hidden and terrifying presence deep within the dragon den.

"The patterns in the void are getting more and more complicated," Gu Chen furrowed his brows. Even with the Fourth Grade Heavenly Eye pushed to its limit, careful observation was necessary.

The dense maze of patterns laid across the void, and any slight contact would undoubtedly result in death, even for the most powerful of beings.

Had the True Dragon Den not been opened, this place would have been lethal, demanding the utmost caution from even the strongest who dared enter.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar resounded, and a gigantic dragon beast appeared before Gu Chen, blocking his path.

"Hm?!"

Witnessing this scene, Gu Chen’s expression jolted, for he sensed that this dragon beast before him, unlike the others, was exceptionally strong and possessed a trace of divine intellect.

This was the king of the dragon beasts, tasked with guarding this place because if Gu Chen had proceeded further, he would have reached the deepest part of the True Dragon Nest, where a great secret lay hidden.

Not only Gu Chen but others as well, such as the descendants of the Three Pure Heavens, the heirs of the Myriad Buddha Heavens, Ghostly Son, the descendent of Netherworld Heaven, and members of the Heavenly Clan from the Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan, had all encountered formidable dragon beasts blocking their path.

At the same time, behind it, numerous other dragon beasts followed, all intent on preventing Gu Chen and the others from crossing the threshold.

They roared ferociously, their appearances incredibly daunting, as they intimidated the crowd.

"You beasts dare to obstruct my path?!" Ghostly Son let out a cold shout, unleashing the Nine Netherworld Fires, and battle was on the brink of breaking out.

In other areas, the situation was the same; no one was willing to have their path blocked by these dragon beasts at this critical juncture.

However, one place was different: where the dragon kin were. They shared the same origin of breath, so on their journey, they had hardly been attacked, only to be stopped here.

But, even then, the dragon beasts did not strike, only watching Ao Xing and the others with some wariness.

"The Young Ancestor is being born, it can’t be mistaken, this qi is definitely correct!" The Great Powers of the True Dragon Clan were incredibly excited at this moment, their bodies trembling.

Ao Xing and Ao Jing stood aside, their eyes burning with intense passion as they gazed at the deepest part of the True Dragon Nest. They were very clear that there lay a true pure-blooded dragon, a celestial being!

The ultimate goal of their life was to evolve their bloodline and make the final leap to become true dragons, but the hope for this was exceedingly faint.

Yet, unexpectedly, in this lifetime, the pure-blooded dragon, absent for an entire great era, was finally about to reappear in the world!

For the True Dragon Clan, this was an unparalleled event, its influence unprecedented and its significance extremely great!

In this great era, a pure-blooded dragon would lead them to glory!

"The Young Ancestor is about to be born, the Dragon Sovereign has left enough fortunate encounters, we should not go over and disturb," a Great Power of the dragon kin spoke.

At this, Ao Jing frowned and said, "But now, others have also realized this and are madly trying to go deep into the dragon nest. Could they disturb the Young Ancestor?"

"No need to worry, it’s all in vain," the Great Powers of the dragon kin shook their heads in turn.

They explained to Ao Xing and Ao Jing that deep in the dragon nest, formidable barriers guarded the place. Although they had weakened over the long years and due to the pure-blooded dragon imbibing all the energy of heaven and earth for its birth, they were not something just anyone could break through.

"Not even the most powerful figures could do it!" The Great Powers of the dragon kin said, their tone filled with certainty.

"That is good to hear." Upon hearing this, Ao Xing and Ao Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Elsewhere, at Gu Chen’s location, a great battle had just ended.

"The power points, they should be enough!" After slaying a host of dragon beasts, he pulled up his panel to check, and there on the display, the power points were frighteningly plentiful!

At this moment, the ground around him was littered with the bodies of numerous dragon beasts, blood flowing freely.

It was evident that Gu Chen had also just been through a fierce battle—the dragon beasts guarding this place were extremely unusual, their strength far surpassing all other dragon beasts he had encountered.

In the end, relying on the Yu Cauldron and Source Ice Breath, Gu Chen slew all these dragon beasts.

Back on the Ice Emperor’s Island, Gu Chen had obtained a large amount of Source Ice Breath, a substance even the mightiest beings feared to touch. However, as his strength steadily increased, the usage of Source Ice Breath also became less frequent.

But it must be said, even Gu Chen had to admit, that in his early days in the upper realms, the Source Ice Breath had helped him greatly.

Now, with his current strength, combined with the Yu Cauldron and the terrifying Source Ice Breath, dealing with these dragon beasts was naturally effortless.

"There must be a Shocking Fortunate Encounter deep within the dragon nest!" Gu Chen lifted his head, his eyes deep, staring intently at the deepest part of the True Dragon Nest.
