I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 398

Chapter 398: Chapter 226 We Are Fighting, Yet You Are Digging for Spiritual Medicine
 

The tunnel was dark and narrow, and the deeper they went, the more an oppressive sensation grew.

Everyone became alert, quietly channeling their power to protect themselves in preparation for any sudden crises.

The tunnel began to slope downwards, suggesting that they might have entered the marsh area.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead.

Everyone’s heart relaxed a bit, especially the martial artist leading the way, who quickened their pace.

The light grew brighter, and they emerged from the tunnel into a burial chamber that seemed adorned with stars.

“There are Moon Glow Stones, so many of them!”

“Rumors say the Azure Sky Flood Dragon loves Moon Glow Stones, this might indeed be its tomb!”

Many geniuses grew excited.

Moon Glow Stones, shining like moonlight, were one of the spiritual realm’s sources of illumination, though they were found in the Azure Sea in Wuzhou, far from Yuzhou. Hence, the number that reached Yuzhou was quite limited.

Therefore, few in Yuzhou used Moon Glow Stones.

As soon as Xu Yan entered the burial chamber, he heightened his alertness and, unnoticeably, his Sword Intent enveloped an area within thirty feet of him.

His Sword Intent blended into the surroundings, making it hard to detect.

Surrounding him was a gentle breeze, the Sudden Wind Sword Intent also took action.

In the center of the vast chamber lay a giant dragon, and before this dragon was a half-zhang tall tree, its branches coiled like a flood dragon, and its leaves a vibrant green.

The Azure Dragon Tree!

Beside the coiled dragon on the ground grew some fine brown vines, which bore some small fruits.

Dragon Gaze Fruits!

“It’s the Azure Dragon Tree!”

The geniuses’ eyes lit up.

“Dragon Gaze Fruit!”

This indeed must be the tomb of the Azure Sky Flood Dragon, or else there wouldn’t be both an Azure Dragon Tree and Dragon Gaze Fruits.

Third-level and second-level spiritual medicines were considered high-level in the Spiritual Realm, but not rare, per se. However, the value of the Azure Dragon Tree and Dragon Gaze Fruits lay in their rarity.

It was rumored that the Azure Dragon Tree had a miraculous effect on strengthening the body. Even a great celestial martial artist could nearly double their physical strength.

The Dragon Gaze Fruits could fortify one’s Divine Soul, making it more resilient. Once someone broke through to the Divine Refinement Celestial level, their refined Divine Soul would be much stronger.

There were also rumors that the Dragon Gaze Fruits could improve one’s chances of successfully breaking through to the Divine Refinement Celestial level.

It was because of these limited uses for current Divine Refinement Celestials that an agreement was reached to allow the junior geniuses from various factions to come and explore this place and compete.

The Dragon Gaze Fruits were plentiful, but the Azure Dragon Tree was singular, making the atmosphere among the geniuses tense.

Xu Yan appeared calm; he did not immediately go to pick the spiritual medicines. Out of caution, he preferred to let others explore first. Here, his strength was unrivaled, none could contend with him.

Frowning at the massive dragon, he suddenly realized that this coiled dragon might be the coffin of the Azure Sky Flood Dragon.

Moreover, the form of this dragon was not perfect, differing somewhat from that of a true True Dragon.

Of course, he had never seen a true True Dragon himself. It was just an intuition because this dragon lacked the imposing aura of a True Dragon.

His Subduing Dragon Palm had already grasped the Dragon’s Might Intent.

Suddenly, Xu Yan’s gaze sharpened as he looked towards the entrance of the burial chamber.

Just now, something seemed to have come in!

Since it hadn’t entered his range of Sword Intent, Xu Yan didn’t know what it was.

“What an impressive cloaking skill.”

Xu Yan became vigilant, expanding the range of his Sword Intent slightly.

“The Azure Dragon Tree is mine. I want three Dragon Gaze Fruits.”

The young man from the Divine Sect spoke calmly.

His gaze moved to Shen Haizhou and then shifted to Xu Yan.

“I have no objections.”

Shen Haizhou said indifferently.

The other geniuses paused momentarily then nodded.

The Divine Sect was the foremost Spirit Sect in Yuzhou, and the opponent, in terms of both background and strength, had the credentials.

“You, go and excavate the Azure Dragon Tree.”

The young man instructed a pathfinding martial artist.

“Yes!”

Though not employed by the young man, the martial artist dared not defy him, such was the authority of Yuzhou’s top Spirit Sect.

Carefully stepping forward, he encountered no anomalies or dangers and heaved a sigh of relief, beginning to bend down to excavate the Azure Dragon Tree.

Xu Yan’s expression suddenly turned solemn, but he neither spoke up nor made a move.

Swoosh!

A corner of the burial chamber seemed to glimmer with sword-light, which in an instant, passed through the body of the martial artist excavating the Azure Dragon Tree!

Thud!

The martial artist was dead!

“Be careful!”

“Who made the move?”

Instantly, the geniuses’ expressions changed drastically.

Boom!

Energy surged. Weapons in hand, they guarded the surroundings, spacing out from one another, each wary of the others.

The young man from the Divine Sect’s expression darkened, a faint silver glow emanating from his body, his slender blade shimmering with a cold light.

“Who made the move? Is this a challenge to the Divine Sect?”

The flash of light was too quick, fleeting. Everyone had relaxed their guard and had failed to notice what it was.

Could it be a flash of sword-light?

“Would you care to explain?”

The young man from the Divine Sect glared at Xu Yan with a brooding look.

Among those present, only he, Xu Yan, and Shen Haizhou had such capability, and Xu Yan was the only Sword Dao martial artist among the three.

He was the most suspicious.

Xu Yan gave him a cool glance, his eyes landing on the man’s long blade, thoughtfully, “So this is a Spiritual Artifact unique to the Spiritual Realm? Indeed much stronger than ordinary weapons.”
