Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 782 - 19 Unworthy Dragon Deserves No Treasure
Chapter 782: Chapter 19 Unworthy Dragon Deserves No Treasure
The two battled their way through the plain dominated by sword slaves and finally arrived at the foot of the Blade Ridge Mountains.
From a distance, the mountains were steep and lofty; now that they were up close, they found them even more terrifying.
All the rocks were sharp and jagged, sticking out in an irregular fashion, and the entire range was made up of thousands of such sharp stones, which reminded Luo Yan of Blade Mountain in the Demon Locking Tower where Ying Long was imprisoned, seemingly modeled after this place.
However, that Blade Mountain was truly too small compared to the endless, sprawling Knife Edge Mountains before them, which emanated a chilling aura just by looking at them.
Having chased them here, Luo Yan expanded his scanning range once again and knew that the members of the Dragon Clan were deep within the mountain.
But how the other party had managed to get into the Blade Ridge Mountains ahead of time remained a mystery.
“Liuli,” Luo Yan ordered Shi Liuli, “calculate their location.”
Shi Liuli cast a divination according to his words and soon concluded:
“They are inside the belly of the mountain.”
Her calculation was quite accurate, and Luo Yan mused to himself, wondering whether Ah Jing’s scan was more formidable or Shi Liuli’s Art Calculation.
Hey, what would happen if I had Liuli calculate Ah Jing?
“You could give it a try,” Kunlun Mirror said with a teasing tone.
Hearing the mirror’s confident tone, Luo Yan knew for sure that Ah Jing’s scan was the superior one.
“Then how do we get inside the mountain?” he asked casually once again.
“That’s a question for you,” Shi Liuli replied.
“How would I know?” Luo Yan was surprised.
“Don’t you have the Five Elements Divine Light?” Shi Liuli asked in astonishment, “Can’t you just create a path through this metallic mountain range using the Five Elements Genesis technique?”
Luo Yan sighed, thinking he had hoped his wife had some crafty shortcut, but it turned out he had to do the hard labor himself.
He then activated the Innate Five Elements Divine Light, sweeping it over the area, and the mountain made of metal, as firm as it was, melted as quickly as snow meets the warmth of spring, turning into molten metal.
As the two continued along the newly created path, the deeper they went into the mountain’s belly, the more they felt a strange suction force pulling them toward a distant location.
“Earth’s core magnet,” Shi Liuli quickly judged, “There must be a core magnet inside this mountain.”
A magnet, or a core magnet, is a kind of giant magnet that can disrupt and attract metal objects.
For example, the Coiled Dragon Gold-Dissolving Ball that Shi Yao had bestowed upon Long Long was made from a magnet, which could draw in flying swords shot by others; likewise, during the competition at White Jade Capital, Luo Yan had taken out the Magnetic Cloud Mother from his storage bag to absorb the magneto-light.
But the curious thing about the Earth’s core magnet was that it didn’t just attract metal objects but all kinds of objects, and the closer to the magnet, the stronger the suction force.
Therefore, the best course of action upon encountering an Earth’s core magnet was to get as far away as possible as soon as you could; if you got too close and the suction exceeded your ability to break free, then you would be done for.
Upon hearing it was an Earth’s core magnet, Luo Yan also got a headache.
If Liuli wasn’t here, he would have dared to burst right through with the help of Ah Jing’s teleporting abilities.
But now with Liuli here, if they ran into danger, it wouldn’t be easy to rescue her… He might as well have her calculate first.
“Liuli, can you calculate the range of that Earth’s core magnet?” Luo Yan asked tentatively.
“Hard to say,” Shi Liuli cast a divination and answered, “The Earth’s core magnet is one with the mountain range, so it’s impossible to determine the exact location. However, we can roughly estimate its range based on the strength of the suction force.”
“Husband, are you planning to target the Earth’s Core Magnetite Mother?”
“How could I?” Luo Yan laughed and shook his head, “The Earth’s Core Magnetite Mother is an Innate Spiritual Object. The closer one gets, the greater the magnetic pull becomes. If one were to be in full contact, even immortals might not be able to withstand its force. How could I possibly have the ability to target it?”
“Then your meaning is…” Shi Liuli pondered for a moment before speaking, “This heavenly cave was artificially created, so the likelihood that the Earth’s Core Magnetite Mother naturally exists here is very slim. It is more likely that it was moved here from somewhere else.”
“To seal something,” Luo Yan also said with a smile. “What could be safer than hiding it near the Earth’s Core Magnetite Mother?”
“We just have to be careful, those people may also have their eyes on the treasures near the Earth’s Core Magnetite Mother,” Shi Liuli added, pausing, “if our speculation is correct.”
So the two of them continued to forge their path with the Five Elements Divine Light, winding carefully forward for about a quarter of an hour before finally entering a man-made tunnel.
“This should be the normal entrance,” Shi Liuli took out a copper coin and casted a divination, “Mmm, they indeed passed through here earlier.”
“Then let’s follow them and have a look,” said Luo Yan.
“Be careful, they might have set traps along their path,” Shi Liuli reminded him.
“Your husband is an expert in formation (scanning),” Luo Yan said with a smile. “If I could be tricked by such petty tricks, I might as well shut down the Heavenly Craft Workshop.”
“But the other party consists of immortals,” Shi Liuli said.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
“Unless they specialize in the art of formations, immortals might not necessarily be better than me,” Luo Yan replied.
As they chatted and walked, suddenly Shi Liuli stopped in her tracks and said,
“They’ve stopped up ahead.”
“Oh,” Luo Yan, who had already confirmed it with a scan, pretended as if he had just learned of it, frowning, “They must have discovered something… Do you know exactly where they stopped?”
“It should be somewhere spacious,” Shi Liuli answered.
To be precise, it was inside a large hall. Luo Yan nodded to indicate understanding and scanned the area again.
He saw three people standing in the distance inside a hall. In the very center of the hall was a scroll, vividly depicting city streets, the ordinary life of folks, and a multitude of civilians.
What was even more miraculous was that the civilians depicted on the canvas were all moving, some lingering in the market, some haggling, some soliciting sales—various scenes, too many to count.
“Exquisite indeed!” the elder exclaimed in admiration, clapping his hands, “What a wonderful ‘Scroll of a Hundred Mortal Lives’!”
“This painting is most adept at trapping enemies. In the heat of battle, it ensnares a person inside, and they become immediately lost in the illusion, as though living through a hundred lifetimes without the hope of awakening!”
Having said that, the elder quickly took down the scroll, swiftly rolled it up, and stuffed it into his storage bag.
Luo Yan: ………
It has to be said, watching others claim treasures like this always feels a bit odd… It seems as though that treasure should have been claimed by me instead.
Could I have a predestined connection with this treasure?
“I will be content with claiming just one thing from here,” the elder dragon said calmly after securing the scroll, “You two can divide the rest among yourselves.”
Thus, Shi Yao and Long Xiaoqi swept through, left and right, and ransacked everything in sight, leaving Luo Yan salivating with envy… no, it’s more like burning with rage.
Shennong is our ancestor of the Human Race, and his legacy should rightfully be dealt with by our race—how can it end up in the hands of you despicable dragons?
No, I must think of something!
