Chapter 2626: Chapter 2625: The History of Earth Dragon Valley

Lin Dong clasped his hands and said, "Senior Yun Che, you overpraise me. I only knew the quickest way to deal with the Headless Battle Corpse after hearing your reminder."

Previously, Yun Che had intentionally reminded them that to defeat the Headless Battle Corpse, one must eliminate both its body and will.

The attack methods of Yun Ruoxian and the six others only aimed at destroying the battle corpse’s body. Naturally, it was ineffective.

"That’s what makes you impressive. I reminded everyone, but only you thought of this immediately," Yun Che said.

At this moment, before everyone, the Blood Mist dissipated, revealing a smooth road leading to the depths of Earth Dragon Valley.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards that smooth road.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong, at this moment, changed the subject, asking a question he had since entering this Earth Dragon Valley.

"Senior Yun Che, esteemed seniors, why is there such a massive ancient battlefield relic on the outskirts of Earth Dragon Valley? And unbelievably, why are there even headless battle corpses roaming? What secrets are hidden behind all this?"

Lin Dong stopped walking, looked at Yun Che, and asked aloud.

Yun Che’s deep eyes flickered, then his expression gradually turned solemn, as if Lin Dong’s question had stirred an old memory.

He sighed slowly, his gaze passing through the flames, reaching the distant and blurry past.

"Lin Dong, what you ask involves a sealed history of both Earth Dragon Valley and the entire Black Soil Plateau," Yun Che’s voice was deep and powerful as he began to narrate slowly.

"According to ancient books from our clan, this Earth Dragon Valley was known as Xuanwu Valley in ancient times. It was an era where gods coexisted, and all beings thrived. This place was actually the habitat of one of the Four Divine Beasts — Xuanwu."

"Xuanwu, representing earth, was the god of the north, with unfathomable power. Moreover, it guarded a rare top-grade spiritual vein, making Xuanwu Valley a long-awaited holy land for countless strong individuals."

"However, the good times did not last. Xuanwu fell in an unknown calamity, and its massive body transformed into the mountains and rivers, guarding the last piece of peace over this land."

"Yet with its fall, it triggered an unprecedented great war."

"At that time, various clans gathered here, partly to seize the endless treasures left by Xuanwu, treasures containing power enough to alter the landscape of the Martial Arts World. On the other hand, the top-grade spiritual vein in Xuanwu Valley was an irresistible temptation for any powerful forces. Occupying this place meant having the capital of rapid rise."

"In that war, the sky collapsed, the earth cracked, the sun and moon lost their light, countless powerful individuals fell, fresh blood stained the earth red. Ultimately, the Earth Dragon Clan, with its tremendous strength and wisdom, stood out from numerous competitors, becoming the final victor."

"From then on, Xuanwu Valley was renamed Earth Dragon Valley, becoming the territory of the Earth Dragon Clan and the symbol of their power."

"And regarding that headless battle corpse from before, it was the secondary ancestor from the human clan who died here back then. Because of lingering resentment, its soul could not rest, containing terrifying battle intention, thus transformed into such a terrifying existence."

"According to people who had been here before, this battlefield relic not only had battle corpses but also many war beasts. However, as time passed, those battle corpses and war beasts have become fewer and fewer."

"Some were even devoured by the Earth Dragons, leaving only a few wandering within the ancient battlefield relics, guarding that forgotten history and warning later folks not to easily step into this forbidden land..."

At this point, Yun Che paused for a moment, a complex look flashing in his gaze.

"So, your next actions should be extremely cautious. Because this place not only contains the fearsome Earth Dragon Clan but also many other unknown terrors..."

"Especially when you are about to enter the Earth Dragon Palace. Rumor has it that the Earth Dragon Palace was built from the former Xuanwu’s nest. Perhaps inside, there are terrifying traces left by Xuanwu. Of course, where there is danger, there is also opportunity."

"If you survive and have sufficient opportunity, perhaps you might gain treasures beyond the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique."

After hearing this, Lin Dong and everyone else fell into contemplation.

Under the moonlight, every face was filled with awe for the past.

"So Earth Dragon Valley has such history! And all this, the most important, is still that top-grade spiritual vein," Lin Dong thought to himself.

Spiritual veins are extremely rare supreme treasures. Many Hidden Clans, such as Kunlun, the Western Infinitesimal Buddha Path, the Taoist Heavenly Master Sect, and other top Hidden Clan sects, all occupy corresponding spiritual veins.

And they are all top-grade level spiritual veins. Those spiritual veins are crucial to these powerful forces, just like a country’s dragon vein.

It is precisely because of the rich spiritual energy continuously generated by those spiritual veins that they can become holy lands for cultivation, allowing a continuous rise of martial artists in the long river of Martial Arts history.

If one could occupy a top-grade spiritual vein, it could indeed establish a Hidden Clan level power.

However, top-grade spiritual veins are too important. They are often occupied by top forces, and the unowned spiritual veins are prone to trigger wars among various forces. The contention is tough.

To seize ownership of a top-grade spiritual vein from the power struggle among various forces, speaks volumes of how terrifying the Earth Dragon Clan is.

And they have relied on that top-grade spiritual vein to cultivate for so many years, it is truly unimaginable how many terrifying existences there are in their clan.

No wonder it prompted the Six Great Second Ancestors to join forces.

Even if they joined forces, they still don’t have absolute confidence in bringing everyone out of Earth Dragon Valley alive.

"If I ventured into Earth Dragon Valley alone, it would truly be a matter of life and death!" Lin Dong thought.

He was also grateful to have met Yun Ruoxian and formed an alliance with the Six Great Second Ancestors.

"Let’s go, ahead is the core area of Earth Dragon Valley. Everyone, stick on the Concealing Talisman I gave you!" Yun Che said at this moment.

They had already laid out detailed plans before entering Earth Dragon Valley. Yun Che had also given one Concealing Talisman each to Lin Dong and the other seven younger generation Heavenly Realm members.

This Concealing Talisman was also a very precious thing to Yun Che. But entering Earth Dragon Valley, in order to prevent Lin Dong and the others from being discovered by the Earth Dragon Emperors, he had to use it.

"Swish, swish, swish~~~" At this time, upon hearing Yun Che’s words, Lin Dong, Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, and the other seven younger generation Heavenly Realm members took out the Concealing Talisman from their bosoms.

After usage, the Concealing Talisman transformed into streams of talisman light, entering their bodies.

After the Concealing Talisman entered their bodies, Lin Dong, Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, and the seven younger generation Heavenly Realm members’ bodies gradually became elusive.

Their breaths entirely vanished!

At this moment, even secondary ancestor-level figures or the existence of the Earth Dragon Emperor couldn’t perceive their presence or breath.

"Go!"

Seeing Lin Dong and the others using the Concealing Talismans, a group of people transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the core area of Earth Dragon Valley, in the direction of the Earth Dragon Palace.
