Chapter 65 Greed breeds disaster; loans must eventually be repaid.
"Human, I... I recognize you. It was you who saved me?"
The dragon suddenly awoke, feeling a throbbing pain in its forehead, and was unable to concentrate.
They could only observe their surroundings with their eyes.
Chen Chunan was not surprised that the dragon recognized him. It treated Lingyuan Lake like a swimming pool, so it would be strange if it hadn't seen Chen Chunan, who lived by the lake.
However, it was precisely because it had never harmed the Chen family that Chen Chunan dared to rescue it.
If it were a different monster, Chen Chunan would definitely not dare to take the risk.
"It's me! I saw you swimming in Lingyuan Lake last year during the Moon Worship Festival."
"So it was you back then? No, my magic is fading, and what about those humans?"
Chen Chunan pointed.
The dragon focused its gaze and discovered that the human who had tried to kill it was actually trapped in an even larger formation by another group of humans.
Its current loss of magical power is due to that blood-red array.
"Ha, you humans still love to kill each other! Since you have attained enlightenment, instead of properly comprehending the Great Dao, you insist on fighting and killing each other all day long. No wonder there has only been one sea race elder who has attained enlightenment in the last thousand years."
Upon hearing the dragon's words, Chen Chunan could only manage a wry smile.
Spiritual cultivation involves drawing power from heaven and earth, transforming their power into one's own.
It would be strange if there were no fighting or killing.
Chen Chunan did not directly answer the dragon's question, but instead asked, "Senior Dragon, do you have a way to break the formation?"
The dragon frowned and said, "I am not very familiar with the methods of your human race, and I am afraid I cannot break the formation. However, I have inherited some of the true dragon's legacy and have also gained some skills. You should follow me and hide in the formation for now."
After saying that, the dragon slowly exhaled a beam of spiritual light, which actually carved out a small space in the air to hide inside.
Chen Chunan followed it into the space, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "With such abilities, why didn't you use them when facing that Nascent Soul cultivator?"
The dragon knew he was unaware of the power of the Nascent Soul stage.
He then said, "Although I can briefly break through space, it still takes two or three breaths to cast the spell. Moreover, when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator who also has the ability to break through space, this unstable space, once broken, will suffer a backlash from the power of space. Furthermore, once the great formation is formed, it is like a small world, and casting spells within the formation is merely trapping oneself. Therefore, I dare not use it lightly. If it weren't for the fact that both of them are preoccupied with other matters, I wouldn't dare to cast this spell either."
Chen Chunan nodded to show his understanding, and he also understood why Dao Yimen was able to reach Lingzhou in just a few days.
The man and the dragon quietly slipped from the center of the formation to the northwest edge. Taking advantage of this moment, the dragon focused its mind and gathered its spiritual consciousness, slowly swallowing and spitting out the dragon pearl to restore its strength.
But less than three breaths had passed since the two had slipped away when Brigitte realized something was wrong.
The Spirit Transformation Array's power can extract the cultivators' mana and soul from within the array.
It would be strange if she didn't notice that such a large power bank as Jiaolong suddenly lost power.
"Oh no! The dragon has recovered! Everyone be careful!"
When Biji realized that she was gone, the dragon simply sprayed two streams of water vapor from its nostrils and did not panic.
Instead, he turned to Chen Chunan and said, "You're quite strange. You're only at the Qi Refining stage, yet you're hardly affected by this formation. Moreover, I can sense a terrifying power hidden within your body. I've recovered half my strength and have the Dragon Balls to use. If you can help me, it won't be difficult for me to take you out of the formation!"
Chen Chunan had been waiting for these words, and immediately replied, "Senior and I are already in the same boat, so we should naturally work together!"
The dragon nodded: "Very good! Once I use the dragon pearl to create a breach, you must kill one of the guards at the core of the formation. When that breach appears, I will find a way to get you out!"
Chen Chunan did not completely trust what Jiaolong said, but as long as he could create an opening, he would have his own way to escape.
Seeing that the dragon had disappeared, Biji intensified her attack on Shoucheng.
Although the two were fighting to the death just now, now that I've intervened and intend to be the one to get the spoils, who can guarantee that they won't temporarily join forces?
When Shoucheng learned that the dragon was missing, he panicked for the first time. He was now only trying his best to maintain the formation so that it would not be broken by Biji.
If that dragon disregards everything and only thinks about seeking revenge, then he might really be in danger today.
But in that moment of panic, Brigitte seized the opportunity and a small white bone seal appeared in an instant.
It slammed into the weak point of the formation, and the true disciple from the Five Elements Sect was instantly reduced to dust, and the Nine Absolute Formation was broken in an instant!
Just as Brigitte was about to press her advantage and kill Shoucheng in one fell swoop, the blood-red array light screen that was originally as solid as a rock suddenly became covered with spider webs, like tempered glass that had been hit at the corner.
It shattered in the next instant.
At the 49 cores of the array, 31 Foundation Establishment cultivators were instantly reduced to blood mist, and only 18 Golden Core cultivators barely managed to survive.
As the core of the formation, Biji also suffered a backlash from the formation, and her whole body almost shattered like a glass doll.
The dragon was stunned for a moment, not expecting that breaking the formation would have such a big impact on the person who set it up!
Shoucheng was overjoyed to see the formation broken. He took out a bottle of elixirs and drank them down. He ignored the golden pills and rode the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle into the sky.
Just as he thought he had escaped death and was overjoyed, a blast of cold air poured down on him.
Shoucheng's smile froze on his face, and his entire body, along with the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle magic weapon, instantly turned into streaks of ice.
The Nascent Soul cultivator's immense magical power instantly returned to its original state, transforming into a torrential downpour of spiritual energy.
"Ha! I haven't avenged my great grudge yet, how can I let you escape alive?"
On the other side, Chen Chunan, having escaped with the true dragon, naturally sought to avenge his grievances and settle scores.
With all its might, a bolt of Jade Pivot Divine Lightning, enough to make even a Nascent Soul cultivator take notice, crashed down upon the group of evil cultivators from the Soul Refining Sect.
However, this was just one chance. Bi Ji was a Nascent Soul cultivator, and Chen Chunan didn't want to go up there and risk getting into trouble.
Just as Chen Chunan was using all his strength to control the sword light to escape, another shower of spiritual energy fell.
Chen Chunan turned his head and saw that the dragon's ferocious claws were holding a head covered in cracks. Who else could it be but Bi Ji?
Chen Chunan abruptly stopped the sword light, his heart filled with surprise. He hadn't expected that the dragon, which had been almost powerless against Shoucheng, would be so powerful after using the dragon pearl!
After killing Bi Ji, the dragon swung its tail and burrowed into the underground water veins of Lingyuan Lake.
Then a divine sense transmitted a message: "I don't want to provoke so many sects in the Central Region. Those few true disciples have all escaped, so you shouldn't stay here either. Those cunning humans are quite resourceful; they might not be unaware of your intentions! I'm going to the East Sea. I'll repay your life-saving grace today with the storage rings of those two Nascent Soul cultivators! I've already disposed of the inappropriate items inside; you can use them without worry. We'll meet again someday!"
Upon hearing the dragon's voice transmission, Chen Chunan put away the two storage rings floating in front of him.
But the scene of the Nascent Soul dying and its magical power returning to heaven and earth touched him deeply.
"Greed breeds disaster, and what is borrowed must eventually be repaid. If I hadn't coveted the remnant soul of a true dragon or the body of a serpent, how could I have suffered this calamity?"
Thinking of this, Chen Chu's five elements spiritual power in his dantian instantly returned to the world.
Chen Chunan felt a sense of urgency: "Greed must be temporarily suppressed; it's time to solidify the Mysterious Pearl and Rejuvenate the Elixir!"
After saying this, he turned his sword and swept it towards Lingzhou Market.
It's definitely time for Lingzhou to leave!
Chen Chunan was in a hurry and did not notice that the twelve spirit peach trees on Tianmu Mountain had reached the third grade after absorbing the spiritual energy of the two Nascent Soul cultivators who had fallen.
Who knows who will benefit from it in the future?
