Chapter 693 - 692: Something Special

Chapter 693: Chapter 692: Something Special

As Jiang Zuo headed for the island of ruins, the Xilin Bat stopped following him.

It had found its way over not long ago.

When it arrived, it happened to see Jiang Zuo brutally killing a Holy Dragon.

Furthermore, a Tier Nine Dragon didn’t dare act recklessly in his presence, and he had actually emerged from the Divine Dragon Palace.

’Just what kind of power does this person possess?’

The Xilin Bat didn’t know the answer, but it knew this person was someone it absolutely could not afford to provoke. If he wished, he could kill it in an instant.

’As expected, my survival instincts didn’t deceive me. It was right to be patient.’

’If I had rushed out at the very beginning, I would probably be dead by now.’

It still had its uses, so it wouldn’t be killed for now. But if it continued to tail him after he left, it would most likely bring a fatal disaster upon itself.

’So, I should hide as far away as possible and just quietly carry out my mission.’

After that, it moved far away from Jiang Zuo. Right now, it didn’t want to be seen at all.

’Who knows if he holds a grudge? What if he decides to kill me then? Safety first.’

?

Jiang Zuo, on the other hand, didn’t care about the Xilin Bat at all. He was naturally aware that the creature was tailing him, but he let it be. It meant nothing to him.

As long as it didn’t affect him, it was fine.

Now that it had left, Jiang Zuo paid it no mind either.

That was its own choice.

However, if it dared to cut the connection, then it would be affecting him.

At that point, it wouldn’t be able to run even if it wanted to. Especially since Jiang Zuo now had the Thousand World Pupils, he could find it in an instant and have a word with it.

That was the use of the Thousand World Pupils; it just consumed a tremendous amount of energy.

Fortunately, there was a Divine Dragon’s Spiritual Qi here. Otherwise, Jiang Zuo really couldn’t have used it so casually.

Soon, Jiang Zuo landed on the ruins.

The Spiritual Dragon asked curiously, "Senior, are we here to dig for treasure?"

Walking along the path, Jiang Zuo said, "To pick something up."

The Spiritual Dragon was speechless but still asked, "But Senior, this is a Holy Dragon’s territory, after all. The Holy Beast Dragon Race is truly powerful. If they really come for revenge, can you withstand it?"

Jiang Zuo didn’t answer. ’What’s there to answer? Can I withstand it?’

’There’s nothing I can’t withstand.’

The Dragon Race was very strong, but the Holy Beast Dragon Race alone wasn’t that big of a deal.

Unless the Holy Beast Primordial Dragon appeared.

But the Holy Beast Primordial Dragon rarely appeared. Back then, it only showed up after the Four Holy Beasts were nearly wiped out.

The other Holy Beast Ancestors hadn’t appeared.

’They were probably blown up along with their ancestral lands by me.’

The Holy Beast Primordial Dragon had appeared before the explosion.

’It was quite lucky.’

However, the thing here was indeed not the Holy Dragon’s. He could smell an extraordinary aura.

Let alone a Holy Dragon’s, not even the Holy Beast Primordial Dragon’s aura was this profound.

How could something like this belong to that Holy Dragon?

Jiang Zuo walked through the ruins, discovering that while he could sense the object, finding it was difficult.

It seemed the one who hid it was no simple character either.

In terms of Arrays and perception, they were at the level of Extraordinary to Saint.

"Impressive. To think it can fool my current perception," Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but say.

Although he wasn’t being serious, he was currently Tier Seven. While at Tier Seven, even casually, what could he possibly detect but still be unable to find?

Even if this wasn’t his own Tier Seven power, it was still remarkable.

The person who hid this was truly amazing.

The Spiritual Dragon followed silently to the side, not understanding what Jiang Zuo was so impressed by.

’Perhaps this is what it means to be a big shot. Always saying a few things others don’t understand to show off how special you are.’

After a while, Jiang Zuo arrived at the edge of a pool. The object was inside. It had taken a rare moment of seriousness from him to find it.

Jiang Zuo then took a step into the pool. As he did, the water automatically parted, even forming a staircase for him to descend.

This wasn’t a property of the pool, but a result of Jiang Zuo’s own power.

His Tier Seven power hadn’t faded yet.

Don’t be fooled by the two Magic spells he used; the actual consumption was minimal.

’If the consumption had been higher, would that Holy Dragon have been allowed to live?’

A trash Dragon like that, even at its peak, wouldn’t last three moves before he slaughtered it.

Take Mu Lin, for example. A Tier Eight Peak cultivator who had not reached Inquiry wouldn’t last three moves against him.

One must know that in his previous life, Jian Shisan, who was at the same tier, had only lasted three moves as well.

Anyone else at the same tier as him would be killed in a single move.

It was just that he had retracted the ripples of his power. At most, he now gave off a slight, localized radiance.

As if his body was emitting light.

It couldn’t be helped. Much of the power wasn’t inside his body, so he couldn’t conceal it completely.

Jiang Zuo continued downward. The pool wasn’t wide, so he could only descend via a spiral staircase.

The Spiritual Dragon was curious. "Senior, wouldn’t it be better to just go straight down? Why walk like this?"

Jiang Zuo said calmly, "If you went straight down, you would die."

"Huh?" The Spiritual Dragon was confused.

This place below was no safe haven. Without Jiang Zuo continuously breaking through the Restrictions, it would be difficult to descend.

Before the Restrictions were removed, this was an ordinary pond. But once the entrance Restriction was broken, a single careless step could lead to death.

The Restrictions here were exceptionally powerful. If it were before, it would have taken him some time.

However, entering by himself wouldn’t have been much of a problem.

Bringing someone along was a bigger issue.

Jiang Zuo walked through the water for a long time, to the point where he felt he had left the island above far behind.

This further proved how extraordinary the thing below was.

After a long while, Jiang Zuo successfully reached solid ground. It felt as if he had arrived at the deepest part of the ocean.

But Jiang Zuo knew they hadn’t gone that far; it was just very deep. This was likely a small, carved-out space. He still didn’t know its specific purpose.

He didn’t care about its purpose, though. He just wanted to see what was inside.

The Spiritual Dragon was also amazed. "This place has a wondrous feeling. Was the Holy Dragon this powerful? The heritage of the Holy Beast Dragon Race is truly incredible."

Jiang Zuo ignored it. Naturally, this wasn’t the work of a Holy Dragon.

Among the Holy Beast Dragons, Jiang Zuo had never seen one skilled in Arrays.

Although they were uniquely blessed, they weren’t omnipotent. At most, their Talents were a bit better, and their starting point was higher.

Why would they ever bother to learn something like Arrays?

Not far ahead, Jiang Zuo saw a stone stele. On it were written the three ancient characters for "Between Life and Death."

Jiang Zuo ignored the name and walked straight inside.

After entering, Jiang Zuo saw two masses of Mist, one black and one white.

The white Mist occupied the entire left side, and the black Mist occupied the entire right, leaving only a small path in the middle.

"Life is on the left, death is on the right. In the middle is a fate worse than death. How will you choose?" A sudden voice echoed in Jiang Zuo’s ear.

If Jiang Zuo remembered correctly, it should be Qin Qianning’s voice.

Without answering, he walked straight ahead.

The Spiritual Dragon was surprised. "Eh? Senior, you’re choosing the middle?"

Jiang Zuo said, "There’s no need to choose. That was just a secret code. If you don’t have the countersign, it doesn’t matter what you choose. If you do, it also doesn’t matter what you choose."

Jiang Zuo didn’t have the countersign, so he just walked straight through. It made no difference to him.
