No matter what Ye Jing or Si Kong Qing thought, Yan Zhao Ge didn't pay much attention.
Although the matter of Zhen Long Quan is urgent, since we are passing through Dong Tang Guo, it's not a problem for others, but as the current ruler of Dong Tang Guo, Yan Zhao Ge is someone I must pay my respects to.
He is not only the master of Dongtang State, a hero in the eastern continent, but also an old friend that Yan Lao has known since he was young, and has always admired and cared for Yan Zhao Ge.
Zhen Long Quan has made a move, the strongest martial artists of Dong Tang Guo who are closest to here, and the warriors stationed in Guang Cheng Shan, naturally arrived at the first time to suppress and explore. Yan Zhao Ge and others want to enter Zhen Long Quan, such a dangerous place, they must also understand the latest developments there first.
After meeting the master of Dongtangguo, Yan Zhao Ge immediately paid a visit to Guang Chengshan, the chief elder in charge of affairs in Dongtangguo.
It's not as easy and harmonious as visiting the former, because this Guang Chengshan is a big shot in East Tang State, and is a person of the Yan Zhao Ge Er Shi Bo Na faction.
The elderly Dong Tang looked serious at first glance, but he didn't waste words when looking at Yan Zhao Ge. He simply stated the situation they had already grasped in a few sentences. Yan Zhao Ge listened while thinking deeply.
"The great saint of Taiyi, Chongyuan Long, also appeared in the Dragon Subduing Spring. You'd better be prepared." The old man said calmly after introducing the anomaly of the Dragon Subduing Spring.
Yanzhao smiled and said: "Isn't it precisely because of him that our sect has let me lead the team this time?"
There are several major holy lands in the world, and the Great Sun Holy Religion is a massive entity on the same level as Guang Cheng Mountain, with its power even surpassing that of Guang Cheng Mountain, quietly becoming the number one holy land of the current era.
Hongyuan Long is the young pride of the Great Sun Sacred Sect, a strong young master, whose age is similar to that of Yan Zhao Ge, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of the inner vortex realm. In the Eight Extremes Great World, he is also a rising star with a great reputation.
Yanzhao Song's original body owner, who had a total of three matches with him, all of which ended in a draw. The two are also considered old rivals among the younger generation of martial artists in the Eight Extremes Great World.
The elderly Dong Tang master said, "This child is indeed rare. He has cultivated the Sun Needle Skill of the Great Day Sacred Sect to the eighth level. With his exceptional innate talent and steadfast temperament, if he makes another breakthrough this time, what will be the outcome? I suppose I don't need to tell you, do I?"
Taiyang Golden Needle Qigong is a relatively obscure martial art of the Taiyi Holy Sect. If practiced to a deep level, its power is extremely strong and it is one of the top-notch existences in the same level of martial arts.
However, the power of cultivation is relatively limited in the early and middle stages. At least, it must be cultivated to the sixth or seventh stage before it can show its extraordinary abilities.
This practice is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the practitioner must endure the pain of being burned by fierce fire, with their entire body feeling like it's being pierced by tens of thousands of steel needles, making the cultivation process akin to self-torture.
As the cultivation realm improves, the Mahayana Holy Sect has even more profound and powerful martial arts techniques available for its disciples to choose from, so few people practice this martial art.
Yanzhao Song said nonchalantly, "If Chong Yuandragon can achieve the 9th level of Taiyang Golden Needle Qigong at his current age, he would be one of the top five in the entire history of Dari Saint Sect, truly a rare talent."
"Being able to stand out among peers in a great and sacred religion, one must have something extraordinary."
Yanzhao Song smiled and said: "Thanks for the reminder, elder. I have it in mind."
The elder in charge of the East Tang Sect looked at him and said lightly, "Since that's the case, you can go now. If you find anything in the Dragon Spring, report back promptly. Take good care of the many experienced disciples, don't let any accidents happen."
Yanzhao Song stood up: "I bid farewell, Elder stay."
Watching the receding back of Yan Zhao Song, the old man's gaze was calm and serene, slowly closing his eyes: "Young children with yellow mouths, frivolous and arrogant."
…………
Zhenlongyuan is a large rift valley stretching across the land, with towering mountains on both sides. The valley is bottomless and shrouded in dark mist all year round.
The dark fog hurts people, the more it goes down, the thicker it becomes. Even the strong martial artists do not dare to take risks easily. In the fog, many strange and ferocious magical beasts will be born, extremely fierce and evil.
Deeper in the Dragon's Abyss, the black fog envelops below, and even more bizarre spatial distortions will occur, making it difficult for people to distinguish their direction. It is also difficult for outsiders to rescue them.
However, Zhonglongquan also produces some rare and exotic treasures that are hardly found elsewhere on the mainland, so warriors often enter it to search for treasure.
Of course, most of those who entered never came out alive again.
Thus, since ancient times, Zhenlongquan has been notorious for its ferocity.
Yanzhao Song and others left the capital of East Tang State and arrived at the outskirts of this land.
"Are you all aware of the origin of Zhenlongquan?" Yan Zhao Ge said, standing on a mountain ridge beside the rift valley: "The Eight Extremes Great World is habitually divided by people into eight vast regions, represented by Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain and Marsh."
"This region, due to a strange change many years ago, has become a dead land and the most dangerous place in the world. Because of its homophonic relationship, it has been known as 'Hell' ever since."
"From the depths of hell to the surrounding heaven and earth, many large canyons extend outwards. The Dragon Abyss is one of the largest ones, with a considerable part passing through the Tianyu where my Guangmou Mountain is located."
Yanzhao Song said: "Zhēn Lóng Yuān suddenly produced a strange change, the reason is unknown, you all need to be careful and pay attention."
All of Master Guang's disciples nodded in agreement.
Under the leadership of Yan Zhao Ge, everyone slowly walked down the valley.
Although it is a treacherous place, the outermost part has been artificially opened up as a simple road.
On the road, at intervals, lights are lit up, and wisps of green smoke emerge, isolating the black fog in a smaller range, allowing people to walk.
This is the strong martial artist of Dongtang Guo and Guangsheng Mountain, who arrived at the first time to perceive the anomaly, temporarily suppressing the path opened at that time, then guarding while notifying the mountain gate of Guangsheng Mountain, sending someone to bring a specially-made ritual instrument for investigation.
If it is not suppressed in time, the black fog may rush out of the canyon.
After meeting with the local martial artist in charge of garrisoning the town, Yan Zhao Ge and his group began to venture deeper into Zhen Long Yuan.
Yanzhao Song walked at the forefront, paying attention to the surroundings while thinking in his heart: "This black fog is indeed a chaotic evil energy, although it can produce things beneficial to the inner crystal furnace, but it itself has a hundred harms and no benefits."
"Wait... I think about it, and it seems that it's not entirely useless?"
"From the late Inner Cauldron to the early Outer Cauldron, the change in strength disparity is far greater than from the middle of the Inner Cauldron to its later stage. It's not just a world of difference, it's a complete transformation." Yan Zhao thought to himself: "With the Cauldron Energy released externally, my own defense has become extremely powerful."
"Neigang master uses all his strength to strike, hitting the vital parts of the outer gang master who has no special defense, only then can he see the effect, otherwise it will mostly be in vain."
"On the other hand, the external Gong Master's Gong energy is released externally, with a shocking killing power, making it even easier to break through the internal Gong Master's Gong energy defense."
"Unfortunately, from inner aura to outer aura, it's just a step away, but it's a huge gap. Wanting to break through is not easy at all, the key is that you need to spend a lot of time carefully polishing your aura and tempering your body."
Walking in the extremely dangerous Zhenlongquan, Yan Zhao Ge's face showed a smile.
"However, if the vortex of Tianyuan's reverse flow technique is changed to introduce the chaotic evil energy into the body, it can be transformed from waste to treasure, becoming a top-grade whetstone to hone one's own aura, which can help me break through the bottleneck of transforming internal aura into external aura."
