Chapter 689 - 688: How Are Humans Weak?

Chapter 689: Chapter 688: How Are Humans Weak?

Jingyue watched her. The girl was looking straight ahead.

For some reason, Jingyue felt she could see with extraordinary clarity. She could even discern the path the other girl’s energy followed as it circulated.

She had thought her own Cultivation Technique was formidable enough—it was, after all, a technique only a Saintess could practice. But after seeing the way Qin Qianning’s technique operated, she realized her own was not even worth mentioning.

Just then, Jingyue heard Qin Tian’s voice. "Listen. Focus on the power within your body. That stream of energy will help you find the Cultivation Technique most suited for you.

If you can’t comprehend it, don’t even think about coming out. I know you’re not afraid of dying in here, but you should be afraid of me locking you in here for a day, ten days, a year, ten years, or even ten thousand years."

Qin Qianning stuck out her tongue, as if to say, ’Go ahead and lock me up for a hundred thousand years. See if I’ll ever comprehend it then.’

Then, Jingyue heard Qin Tian’s voice again. "If you still can’t comprehend it after ten thousand years, I’ll let you out. But I won’t let you cultivate. We’ll see if you can wait ten thousand years."

Qin Qianning was speechless.

Finally, under the weight of her brother’s authority, Qin Qianning began to earnestly perceive the energy within her body.

Jingyue, too, felt an aura in the water. Although this aura was different from Qin Qianning’s, it was remarkably similar and was also guiding her, leading her to find a suitable Cultivation Technique.

Soon, Jingyue closed her eyes and began to focus on comprehending it.

At this point, the video stopped. It seemed as if it wouldn’t continue until Jingyue reached her enlightenment.

In any case, it was clearly waiting for the next step.

Qing Lian began to hesitate. She didn’t know how long the Holy Sister would take. ’So, should we wait or not?’

Finally, she stood up and said to Blade Master Hai Bian, "Fellow Daoist Hai Bian, we can keep moving."

Although none of them knew where they were going, moving forward was always the right choice. After all, if they didn’t move, they would never leave this place. Only by exploring could they find out what was here.

Blade Master Hai Bian was still looking at the photos Mo Yan had shared. They were pictures of a roasted Dragon Egg, exclusive to the group chat. Mo Yan was very enthusiastic about it.

Moreover, the fire was growing larger and larger, as if the egg was about to be cooked through.

Fortunately, Liuyue Xue had the Heaven-Breaking Spear to block the intense heat. Otherwise, Mo Yan would have probably been toast.

There’d be no need to wait for someone else to come in and kill her.

Jiang Zuo had also stopped watching the video by now. It seemed they really had to wait for Sister Jingyue to make some progress.

"Sister Jingyue has found a good opportunity, but who knows if she’ll be able to grasp it." Jiang Zuo wasn’t concerned about such opportunities; he didn’t need them anyway.

’Su Qi doesn’t need them either. Whatever Su Qi wants, I can give her.’

’If it’s a special Magical Treasure I don’t currently have, I can just forge one.’

’As long as it makes Su Qi happy.’

The battle between the Tier Nine Dragon and the Divine Dragon had escalated further. If they weren’t fighting in the sky, the island would have been destroyed long ago.

BOOM! With a loud explosion, Saint Dragon Shuang Ying was knocked back.

Mu Lin was overjoyed. The tables were starting to turn.

The Spiritual Dragon asked Jiang Zuo curiously, "Senior, did the Tier Nine Dragon get stronger?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "The Saint Dragon has gotten weaker."

In truth, Jiang Zuo could tell that the Saint Dragon’s weakening was due to normal exhaustion.

’Honestly, for a Tier Eight Saint Dragon to exhaust her energy so quickly is unheard of. She’s worse than an ordinary Tier Eight, let alone other Tier Eight Dragons.’

’No wonder an ordinary Tier Eight like Mu Lin can contend with a Tier Eight Saint Dragon. This Saint Dragon is just truly weak.’

’Her bloodline must be diluted to the extreme. What kind of creature did she even breed with?’

’Definitely a half-breed.’

Jiang Zuo didn’t actually know for sure. He could probably find out by drawing some blood to test it.

However, Jiang Zuo had no intention of wasting his time on such things.

Having been knocked back, Saint Dragon Shuang Ying frowned. She glared at the Tier Nine Dragon and Mu Lin and said, "Aren’t you afraid of retaliation from our Dragon Race?"

Mu Lin retorted, "So the noble Saint Dragons have emotions after all. To think you’d stoop to something like revenge. Where has all your nobility gone?"

"You..." Holy Beast Shuang Ying was furious. Then she spat, "You lowly human."

"How are humans lowly? We have two hands and two feet; you have four claws at best. And you’re covered in scales. Isn’t that disgusting?

You have horns on your heads and tails behind you, and you don’t even wear clothes. Aren’t you of the Holy Beast Dragon Race ashamed?

Is running around naked all day what you call ’noble’?" Mu Lin retorted defiantly.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, the Spiritual Dragon, the Tier Nine Dragon, and the Divine Dragon were all taken aback. ’Was that a potshot at all of us?’

Saint Dragon Shuang Ying, however, flew into a rage out of shame. "You lowly human! Our bloodline is incomparably noble! You are defying the entire Dragon Race!"

Mu Lin stood with her sword held firm and said earnestly, "We humans are not lowly. In terms of overall strength, we are no weaker than the Dragon Race. In terms of peak power, we have Senior Qin Tian. His Cultivation was heaven-piercing, he was widely respected, and he was the universally acknowledged number one.

Your Dragon Race can only boast about how mighty the Holy Beast Primordial Dragon is. If you’re so unconvinced, then have him come out and fight.

Our Senior Qin Tian would have let the entire Dragon Race know that your so-called Holy Beast Primordial Dragon would be defeated in a single blow before him.

What does your paltry Holy Beast Dragon Race amount to in front of Senior Qin Tian? On what grounds do you call humans lowly?

There are countless human experts, and even more who possess unyielding pride. Humanity’s potential is limitless. What right do you, a single dragon, have to pass judgment on all of humanity?

Someone like you—what exactly is so noble about you?"

Mu Lin grew more and more impassioned as she spoke. She just couldn’t see what was so noble about this damn dragon.

Why should she command any respect?

Because she’s strong?

How strong could she possibly be?

If all dragons were like this, then the Dragon Race wasn’t anything special after all.

After being lectured by Mu Lin like that, Shuang Ying was about to explode with rage.

’How dare this lowly human speak to me like that? She deserves to die.’

’How could a lowly human like her possibly comprehend the nobility of a Saint Dragon? We of the Dragon Race do not need the understanding of lowly humans.’

’Nobility is nobility. Why would we need your understanding? It is precisely because you cannot understand that you are lowly.’

The Spiritual Dragon said to Jiang Zuo, "Senior, she just insulted all of us dragons. Aren’t you going to do something about it?"

Jiang Zuo just said calmly, "She’s not wrong. Dragons aren’t inherently noble, and humans aren’t inherently lowly. Qin Tian truly was unmatched in his time."

The Spiritual Dragon: "...Uh."

’Then I remembered... the one on my head is also a human. Of course he would take the human’s side. Different races are bound to have different perspectives.’

’But I’m not too bothered by it. I’ve never been noble anyway.’

’I’m just a weak little dragon.’

Mu Lin said joyfully, "Since Senior said so, it must be true! Who would dare act presumptuously before Senior Qin Tian now?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "Qin Tian has already died in battle."

Hearing this, Mu Lin froze. Saint Dragon Shuang Ying also froze.

Then, Saint Dragon Shuang Ying said in a cold voice, "Did you hear that? Died in battle. He died for daring to provoke our Holy Beast Primordial Dragon, you lowly human.

Now that Qin Tian has fallen at the hands of the Dragon Race, that so-called ’great young miss’ should die too.

That short-sighted Qin Qianning actually dared to look down on me.

She refused to hand over Earth Valley Longyuan to me. That was her foolishness, and foolishness deserves death. Everyone associated with her deserves to die."
