Chapter 1526 - 1523: Entering the Divine Dragon Temple

Chapter 1526: Chapter 1523: Entering the Divine Dragon Temple

Chen Tianlong walked while thinking about what to do if he really encounters the Divine Dragon, and how to obtain the dragon’s blood.

If it’s like the Fire Qilin, maybe a slash will get its scales, but collecting blood is difficult; a sword strike may cause bleeding, but it’s hard to catch it with a small bottle.

Moreover, as the mission difficulty escalates, the Divine Dragon is definitely more powerful. Previously, the Fire Qilin was at the Great Perfection Limit of Celestial Dao seven-star level, so has the Divine Dragon reached Extreme Dao?

Or perhaps it’s infinitely close to Extreme Dao.

Thinking about this, Chen Tianlong felt a bit anxious, but since he was here, there was no reason to retreat.

A group of people majestically entered the Divine Dragon Temple. The temple obviously signifies the residence of the Divine Dragon, there must be something sacred here.

Soon, ten people walked into the hall of the Divine Dragon Temple. It was vast, with walls adorned with various dragon paintings, and inside were many exquisitely carved dragon stone statues, making everyone feel like tourists, forgetting they came for a mission.

"Chen Tianlong, come and see, this dragon’s head is so cute!"

Wu Mengting excitedly pointed at a little dragon head nearby.

This is the youth of the Divine Dragon, a human-built temple. Perhaps thousands of years ago, it was a prosperous city, but after various moves, it became deserted.

The spider webs on the statues reveal no one has been here for a long time.

"Hmm."

Chen Tianlong followed Wu Mengting gradually over, marveling at these masterful creations, feeling infinite sorrow.

He also recalled the task at hand, pondering what the Divine Dragon truly looks like, wondering if it’s like the one from his sword. Yet, dragon species vary greatly and might not be the same.

Previously, he saw many dragons—the Five Evil Divine Dragon of the Celestial Pill Sect Trial Realm, Mud Dragon in the Forbidden Land of the Celestial Pill Sect, Evil Dragon of Otherworlds—and now, the Divine Dragon appears.

Past Spirit Beasts, although terrifying, weren’t as powerful as now. This time it’s an Extreme Dao trial, all opponents are top-tier; thus Spirit Beasts must also be top-tier, at least Celestial Dao seven-star Great Perfection Limit.

Wu Mengting walked over and touched the cute little dragon, then suddenly a rumbling sound occurred, and a door opened unexpectedly.

It turned out to be a mechanism unknown to all, concealed in the Divine Dragon Temple, activated by the curious Wu Mengting. This is fate, destiny’s calling.

The Divine Dragon’s appearance is inevitable, closely tied to the destinies of Chen Tianlong, Wu Mengting, and even Pure Yang Feifei.

The Divine Dragon Knight was once the mount of Feng Zhou, Sect Leader of Wuji Sect on Wutai Mountain in the Immortal Realm, whose wife was Lin Miao, daughter of Lin Dongfang. Pure Yang Feifei is the reincarnated soul of Lin Miao.

So everything seems to return to the past century in reverse; Wu Mengting is Chen Tianlong’s fateful encounter of this life, and the door was activated by her.

Everything seems predestined; the trio’s fate intertwined. The stone door has opened, representing the Forbidden Land of the Divine Dragon Temple, where undoubtedly the Divine Dragon resides inside.

"Chen Tianlong, it seems there’s a door."

Wu Mengting said, pointing at the now open stone door.

Without a word, Chen Tianlong approached the door, still admiring its features, considering this a place where the Divine Dragon lives—everything appears so mysterious.

Alongside Pure Yang Feifei, Wu Guangzu and others followed into the cave.

Once inside, almost everyone was stunned; if outside was magnificent, inside was truly resplendent.

Inside were numerous dragon statues, and eighteen golden bronze statues resembling real people for lifelike details.

These eighteen bronze figures are protectors of the Divine Dragon, Eighteen Arhats.

The strength of these eighteen Arhats is formidable, each has power akin to Celestial Dao seven-star Great Perfection Limit, forming the Eighteen Arhats Array with almost no flaws, reputed as the first Divine Array in the world.

Any attempt to break it is futile; this array endured hundreds of years, remaining unbroken to this day.

Chen Tianlong noticed something peculiar about the bronze figures, feeling they weren’t ordinary, though their postures clearly indicate centuries of neglect. Yet, he sensed the aura of life still in them.

Feeling like they could attack at any moment, delivering a fatal blow.

Wu Mengting felt similarly to Chen Tianlong, with the Innate Prophet’s extraordinary perception—not to be underestimated.

Kuang Chenggong and others, upon entering, only admired the beauty without sensing imminent danger. But Wu Jun, cunning and astute, felt danger upon seeing the surrounding statues.

This is akin to prophetic perception, a unique ability of the Ancient Wu Family members.

Simultaneously, another person shared this ability: Wu Guangzu.

Wu Guangzu was as uncertain about possessing this ability; it’s innate. But what ties might he have with the Ancient Wu Family?

"Everyone, be cautious. I feel this place isn’t simple; although the Divine Dragon hasn’t appeared, the atmosphere seems tense." Chen Tianlong surveyed the space, sensing apart from the eighteen bronze figures, nothing else was particularly special.

After hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, everyone grew a bit anxious.

Indeed, if the Divine Dragon is here, why is nothing visible—is there a hidden door? Despite prolonged inspection, nothing seemed amiss.

The only suspect element is the bronze figures.

Chen Tianlong moved to the hall’s center, looked up, and noticed mysterious blue light disappearing upon closer view, reminiscent of a past event at Celestial Pill Sect’s trial.

Then, seeking the hidden door in the second region, Chen Tianlong recalled his mother’s advice: Polaris is the northern sky’s brightest star; bravely follow it to the true path.

Awakening from reverie, Chen Tianlong gazed at the glowing spot above, feeling dazed—it resembled an invisible door. Since the Divine Dragon hiding here is impossible, logically an invisible Teleportation Gate must exist.

Engrossed, suddenly Pure Yang Feifei shouted, "Look quickly, the bronze figures are moving, how terrifying!"

As Pure Yang Feifei screamed, she rushed towards Chen Tianlong; though powerful, Pure Yang Feifei and Wu Mengting are timid girls. Seeing a statue move suddenly, they inevitably panicked, quickly reaching Chen Tianlong.

Chen Tianlong watched his skilled beauties frightened by a simple bronze figure, feeling amused.

Yet caring for his beloved ones, he comforted, "Don’t worry, Mengting, Feifei, Chen Tianlong is here, I’ll protect you both."

Thus, the two beauties relaxed, hiding behind Chen Tianlong, peeking at the earlier moving bronze figure.

The next moment, they were shocked; not just the previous bronze figure, but almost all were in motion. Within minutes, they appeared vividly before everyone.
