I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1741: Reappearance of the Black Dragon

The Spirit Maiden opened the gate to the Azure Dragon trial.

An Lin swaggered in casually.

“I’m going to start the trial now, okay?” the Spirit Maiden said quietly.

An Lin: “…”

This is a fake Spirit Maiden, right? Where is her killing intent? Where is her fury?

“Alright, let’s start,” An Lin answered solemnly.

Immediately afterward, a Dark Soul Dragon suddenly appeared and let out a deafening roar as it lunged toward An Lin!

An Lin excitedly swatted his hand toward the dragon.

Boom!

The Dark Soul Dragon was instantly pulverized by An Lin’s palm.

“Congratulations, An Lin! You’ve successfully passed the trial!” There was a dainty smile on the Spirit Maiden’s face.

An Lin: “???”

“Hang on… what on earth is going on? I passed just like that?” An Lin still hadn’t used his full strength yet. In fact, he had barely done anything! He passed just like that?

“That’s right, you’ve already passed the trial.” The Spirit Maiden nodded.

In any case, she wasn’t able to kill An Lin. Thus, rather than allowing him to absorb all of the Dark Soul Dragon’s soul power, it would be a better choice to let him breeze through the trial. That way, he could accept the inheritances and quickly f*ck off.

An Lin quickly became aware of the Spirit Maiden’s thoughts. “I’ve only surprised you three times, yet you’re already backing down like a coward? The artifact spirit of the Spirit Patriarch Palace is this weak and easily bullied?” An Lin sighed in feign disappointment. “You’re a disgrace to the Spirit Patriarch.”

The Spirit Maiden took a deep breath and forced a smile onto her face. “Do you want the inheritance or not? Just give me an answer.”

“Yes, of course I do.” An Lin immediately nodded after realizing that his attempt at goading the Spirit Maiden had failed.

The Spirit Maiden flew over and patted the head of the Azure Dragon statue.

The statue fractured and erupted with a loud explosion.

An azure-colored eastern dragon that was coiled in a helix shape materialized in the void. Its body was covered in a dense pattern of divine light and lustrous scales, and its nine claws were all glowing with a boundless and radiant might. Moreover, its pair of golden eyes contained a torrential dragon might. When one saw the azure divine seal on its forehead, they would also be instilled with a sense of uncontrollable apprehension.

At the same time, a regal aura unique to Holy Beasts also started to suffuse through the surroundings.

“Roar!” This howl, which contained a boundless dragon might, appeared otherworldly and ethereal. The dao intent that it possessed was also lofty, and it fully displayed the domineering nature of the Azure Dragon.

For some reason, An Lin felt a strange sense of familiarity when he looked at the Azure Dragon and experienced its unique aura.

“You’re the human who passed my trial? Interesting, very interesting…” The Azure Dragon’s two dragon whiskers floated up slightly as it peered down at An Lin. Then, it cracked into a smile and started chortling heartily. “The Spirit Patriarch’s inheritance, as well as my spell technique, has actually been obtained by a human? Just thinking about this is interesting.”

An Lin blinked in surprise. This Holy Beast appeared to be much more cordial.

“Come, human. Since you’ve successfully summoned me, I’ll help you fulfill your desires.” An azure-colored light of inheritance started to glow on one of the Azure Dragon’s claws.

The Spirit Maiden heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. A relaxed smile appeared across her face.

Success, I’ve finally succeeded this time. I’ve finally prevented the dreadful fate of the Spirit Patriarch Palace being emptied out!

An Lin made his way forward. He was curious to find out what it would feel like to accept an inheritance normally.

Then, his divine sense started to surge and expand rapidly as a stabbing pain suddenly appeared in his mind. Immediately afterward, an ancient ring on his finger suddenly erupted with a boundless black light. An immensely large dragon head instantly appeared behind An Lin. Then, it opened its gigantic, sun-like eyes.

“This scent… what a familiar scent…” a deep and husky voice sounded from behind An Lin.

An Lin’s hair all stood on end as this dragon voice reverberated around the palace. Even his breathing started to become quick and labored.

The Azure Dragon’s expression changed drastically. “Y-You’re…” it stammered in astonishment.

The black-colored dragon behind An Lin roared with laughter. “I am you, foolish divine intent.”

It suddenly widened its jaws and lunged toward the Azure Dragon ferociously. There was a snapping sound as it quickly flashed before the Azure Dragon and bit down on its head. The black dragon swallowed the Azure Dragon’s head, then its body, and finally its tail. In the end, it swallowed the entirety of the Azure Dragon into its belly.

“Mmm… I feel much better after swallowing my own divine intent. The day that I recover my full strength is drawing closer and closer…” The black dragon smacked its lips happily.

“Hmm? It seems like there’s still some other soul power?” it suddenly mused. The entire Azure Dragon trial space started to quake as the black-colored dragon opened its mouth once more. Countless traps were shattered, and a supreme dragon might that possessed a will of absoluteness swept through the trial ground. It seemed as if this overwhelming might could command all dragons.

Then, under An Lin’s stunned gaze, countless Dark Soul Dragons were sucked out by the black dragon. It swallowed them all, and after sucking dry all of their soul power, it let out a satisfied burp.

The black dragon turned its gaze toward An Lin. “Human lad, I’ve managed to reap a bountiful yield thanks to you. I owe you another favor now. I’ll definitely return this favor in the future. Continue to work hard. I believe in you! Roar…”

The black dragon let out a joyous yet mysterious laugh. The ring on An Lin’s finger flashed, and the black dragon once again transformed into a black light before funneling into An Lin’s divine sense.

An Lin was hit with a sudden realization. So, the black dragon truly was the Azure Dragon, one of the four Holy Beasts! No wonder he had felt a sense of familiarity when seeing the Azure Dragon’s appearance. It was because it possessed the black dragon’s scent and aura!

As for why the Azure Dragon became black… he didn’t find a chance to ask this question…

Anyhow, it seemed like he needed to find an opportunity to deal with the matter of the Azure Dragon residing within his body.

Initially, he had thought that it was merely a wisp of the black dragon’s divine intent that was residing within his ring. However, the events that had occurred—crippling the Dark Sorcery Ghost with a single roar, swallowing the gigantic blue dragon, swallowing a divine tool that was forged from the skeleton of a True Dragon—all suggested otherwise. Now, the black dragon even personally admitted to being the Azure Dragon. Moreover, it had swallowed the Azure Dragon divine intent… If An Lin still thought that the black dragon was merely a wisp of divine intent after all of this, then he would truly be nothing but a dumb c*nt.

It was clear that the black dragon was the Azure Dragon, albeit in a peculiar form!

“It ate it… it actually ate it…”

A sulky and aggrieved voice suddenly sounded from beside An Lin.

The Spirit Maiden gazed ahead vacantly as she slumped to the floor. Her eyes were gloomy and crestfallen.

“It’s gone, it’s all gone… The soul powers of the four Holy Beast trials have all been absorbed. Even the divine intents of the Holy Beasts have been eaten… The Spirit Patriarch Palace is lonely and empty. All that remains is the rampaging Evil Demon An Lin…” Tears of remorse rolled down the Spirit Maiden’s cheek. These tears were all drops of liquid-form spiritual energy.

She should have never opened the door for him!

“Liar… you’re a liar… You said that you wouldn’t swallow them anymore. Yet, you swallowed everything again…” The Spirit Maiden wiped away her tears as she sat in a kneeling position on the floor. Her sobbing became louder and louder. “What should I do next? There isn’t even a Holy Beast for me to chat with in this Spirit Patriarch Palace anymore…”

“Oi, you can’t blame me this time. You saw it yourself. It was the Azure Dragon that swallowed itself. What’s that got to do with me?” An Lin was also feeling a sense of despair. The Azure Dragon has been swallowed… So, where on earth is my inheritance?

Is it really okay for the black dragon to do this?

Just as he was thinking this, a loud boom erupted in his mind.

An extremely fundamental true intent started funneling into his mind.

An Lin’s eyes glimmered brighter and brighter. He had finally received the complete core inheritance of the Azure Dragon—Dark Soul Dragon!

This was a spell technique that consumed one’s divine sense. More importantly, it was a perfect combination of the divine sense enlightenments that the Spirit Patriarch and the Holy Beast Azure Dragon had obtained. Using this spell technique, one could summon innumerable Dark Soul Dragons and command them to tear the enemies to death.

In addition to receiving this spell technique, a black-colored egg had also appeared in An Lin’s sea of vital energy. There were exquisite red patterns running along its surface, and it looked extremely mysterious and beautiful.

This trip was definitely worth it!

An Lin had already become accustomed to having eggs materialize in his sea of vital energy. If there was already one egg, then why couldn’t there be two? Or even three? Having an extra egg in his sea of vital energy wouldn’t affect anything. He could just leave them to slowly hatch by themselves.

The Spirit Maiden’s sense of failure was amplified even more when she saw An Lin’s elated and satisfied smile. She felt weak, pitiful, and absolutely helpless… The Spirit Patriarch’s inheritances were all lost on the first day of opening up the Spirit Patriarch Palace. Oh, how much pain and self-questioning this caused the Spirit Maiden…

At this moment, a warm hand suddenly landed on the Spirit Maiden’s head and caressed her gently.

What entered the Spirit Maiden’s eyes was An Lin’s warm and gentle smile.

“Spirit Maiden, it’s not that you’re incompetent, and it’s not that you’re weak either,” An Lin consoled gently. “It’s simply because I’m too strong. This isn’t your fault…”

The Spirit Maiden pursed her lips tightly. You’re consoling me right now, yet you still didn’t forget to flex?

“Are there any other trials in this Spirit Patriarch Palace?” An Lin asked hopefully.

The Spirit Maiden suddenly stood up. “Were the four Holy Beasts not enough to satisfy you?” She wailed in grief and indignation as she asked, “Do you plan on taking me as well?”

An Lin’s eyes lit up. “Sure!”

Spirit Maiden: “…”
