Seeing Shunlong's expression, Wutan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Just as he was about to condense the Heaven-Destroying Battle Qi, a doubt crept into his mind again, and he asked in confusion: "The blood power of your ancestor, the Dragon King, has not yet returned to its original state, so why does he only have one head?"
Unexpectedly, Shunlong was stunned when he heard this, and then asked back: "Who said that his bloodline power has not reverted to its ancestral state?"
"Hmm?" Wu Tian asked in surprise, "Could it be that the Jiao Emperor has transformed into a fire dragon?"
Shunlong said: "Of course, as early as a million years ago, with the help of the God of War Sikong, the blood power of the ancestor had already returned to his ancestral state. However, since then, he has never shown his true form, and no one knows about it. In other words, the strength you see now is not the true strength of the ancestor."
"Not real strength?" Wu Tian was shocked.
At this time, Xuanwu interrupted and said, "Shunlong is right. No matter what kind of beast it is, after it transforms into a human form, its strength will at least decrease by one third. If I'm not mistaken, the reason why Jiao Huang hides his true form is probably because he is afraid that others will covet his dragon ball. In addition, people in this era have almost no knowledge of ancient mythical beasts such as fire dragons. As long as they don't say it in person or show their true form, it will basically not be noticed."
Wutan was lost in thought for a moment. This old fellow Jiao Huang was really good at hiding himself!
According to Shunlong and Xuanwu, even the four great saints may not know that the Dragon King has successfully transformed.
These antiques that have survived for countless years are indeed not easy to deal with.
Wu Tian sighed in his heart, and then said: "Handsome man, you also heard what Senior Xuanwu said. To prevent any accidents, you have to continue to maintain your human form, and learn from your ancestors and completely forget about the transformation into a fire dragon."
Shunlong stretched out his slender fingers, touched the tall nose, and said with a smile: "As long as the appearance is not too scary, it doesn't matter whether it's real or human form."
"Damn it!" Wutan immediately gave him a middle finger and felt deeply hurt in his heart.
In fact, Wutan didn’t care much about his appearance, but his ordinary appearance was his only shortcoming, so he felt a little hurt.
Then he calmed his mind, sat cross-legged on the tortoise shell, and said to Shunlong: "When you are with me, just focus on practicing and improve your strength. You don't have to worry about being eroded by the evil spirit."
"Really?" Shunlong was surprised. Wasn't this the problem that had troubled him for hundreds of years? If this problem could be solved, wouldn't the land of the Western Region be easy to walk on
Wutan nodded without explaining anything and without asking about the inheritance of the Fire Dragon. He opened ninety-nine meridians and earth veins and quickly began to practice.
Suddenly, Shunlong realized that the evil energy around him was ignoring him. Even the evil energy that had invaded his body before was overflowing from his pores and gathering towards Wutan.
"How is this possible? He can actually absorb evil energy!" Shunlong was extremely surprised, but like Wutan, he did not go to the bottom of the matter. He sat cross-legged on the tortoise shell and quickly entered a state of cultivation.
Because they all know that some things do not need to be asked deliberately, and they will be found out slowly in the future, so why bother and waste time!
Time is like sand through fingers, and three months pass in a flash.
Three months later, Wutan and the other two arrived at the tenth restricted area.
As for Wutan's injuries and strength, they had long since recovered. The sky-destroying battle energy had accumulated to thirty strands, but there was no progress on the cracks on the black tortoise shell.
However, since entering the tenth area, Wutan has encountered a lot of refining materials along the way. When he arrived at the restricted area, he actually harvested ten mustard seed bags!
I just saw it and got it by chance, without looking for it deliberately.
If you look carefully, I guess even a hundred mustard bags wouldn't be enough to contain them.
This also confirms Xuanwu's guess that the three sacred objects, including Tongtian Bridge, only swept the first nine areas.
Shunlong also suggested that they should go deeper after sweeping up all the materials, but was directly rejected by Wutan and Xuanwu. Although the materials were important, the bones of the source of all evil and mythical beasts such as the Azure Dragon were more important.
…
The emperor sealed in the tenth forbidden area is the head of Suzaku.
With their strength at the perfect stage of heaven and man, the three of them working together naturally wiped out the evil spirit inside easily. After breaking the seal, Wutan put it into the mustard seed bag, and then continued to go deeper.
In this way, Wutan has already collected all the wings, claws, tail, and head of the Vermillion Bird. The only part missing is the body of the Vermillion Bird.
This is also the most important part.
As long as he gets it, Xuanwu will be able to open the inheritance of Suzaku.
In order to obtain the inheritance as soon as possible, Wutan was very motivated. He tried his best to prevent Xuanwu from taking action and just concentrate on the journey. The rest of the matters would be handled by him and Shunlong.
Along the way, they encountered many alien creatures, and even quite a few lords.
The so-called lord is the old man in black who had been chasing Wutan for several months in the first area and was finally killed by Xuanwu.
This type of existence is the strongest in the area, but there is still a difference between him and the emperor in the restricted area, and he was killed by Wutan and the other man.
Not to mention the materials, Wutan was too lazy to use a mustard bag to carry them. He simply opened his third eye and swept along the way. As for the quantity, he no longer remembered.
Not to mention him, even Shunlong became numb and lost his initial passion.
However, when the group of three arrived at the eleventh restricted area and saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned.
The entire restricted area seemed to have been turned upside down, in pieces and devastated. Apart from a number of alien creatures, there was not even a shadow of the emperor.
"Perhaps the emperor sealed here is the dragon horn and tailbone of Senior Qinglong." Shunlong guessed.
Wu Tian thought about it and felt that this was the only explanation that could make it clear.
Because he didn't believe that anyone could be as fast as Xuanwu and arrive there first, and judging from the broken traces on the ground, at least three hundred years had passed.
Another three months passed, and Wutan and the other two appeared in the twelfth restricted area.
It turned out that it was just like the 11th restricted area, in ruins and a mess!
The two looked at each other, and Shunlong said, "It can't be such a coincidence that Senior Qinglong's tailbone and dragon horn are sealed in the eleventh and twelfth restricted areas respectively!"
Wu Tian said: "It is possible, because other things can be faked, but the traces of battle cannot be faked. Look at the traces on this land, it is obvious that it happened four or five hundred years ago, which is even older than the eleventh restricted area."
"I hope it's true as you said, Senior Xuanwu, let's continue." Shunlong said.
"Little guy, let me tell you in advance, the deeper you go, the more terrifying the evil energy will be. If you can't bear it, don't force it. Just tell me so I can slow down." Xuanwu warned.
"Okay." Wutan nodded. Facing the evil energy that could even corrode the bones of mythical beasts like Xuanwu, he did not dare to be careless.
Then, the three of them continued on their journey.
He did not stop and broke into three restricted areas in succession. There were a total of eighty-eight strands of fighting spirit in Wutanzanghai.
Moreover, within the Tibetan Sea, there is a lot of evil energy accumulated that has not yet been transformed into fighting spirit.
This is something Wu Tian has no time to transform!
From this, it can be seen that the evil energy in the depths is obviously many times stronger than outside the ninth area.
Wutan also discovered something interesting. He could absorb the spiritual essence and vitality of the starry world, as well as elemental energy, the murderous aura emitted by the Blood-maned Ox clan, Han Tian and others through his second life carrier, the Tongtian Divine Tree.
Moreover, with the addition of these energies, not only did they not repel the evil energy, but on the contrary, they merged with each other, greatly increasing Wutan's speed in condensing fighting energy.
In addition, Wutan had tried to use fighting spirit to temper the power of his bloodline, and the effect was very obvious, but he decisively gave up.
Because the fighting energy required to temper the power of blood is really astonishing, after a wisp of fighting energy travels around the blood vessels of the whole body, it disappears without a trace. He cannot afford such a price for the time being.
Time flies, and what Xuanwu worried about did not happen. It only took three months for the three of them to pass through the thirteenth area and enter the restricted area.
However, unexpectedly, the thirteenth restricted area was also riddled with holes!
After scanning the restricted area, Shunlong's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "This time we can be sure that someone got there first."
Wutan nodded slightly, his eyes slightly gloomy.
The unrecognizable land before us was obviously different from the two restricted areas before. All the traces were brand new, and even between heaven and earth, there were still traces of battle fluctuations.
Jumping down from the turtle shell, Wutan grabbed a handful of soil, looked at it carefully, and with a flash of cold light in his eyes, he waved his big hand violently. Grains of soil as small as sand, like indestructible steel balls, sank deep into the ground with a puffing sound.
Then, he stomped his foot on the ground, and the place exploded, and a crater tens of thousands of feet deep appeared. After returning to Xuanwu's back, he said, "Judging from the degree of moisture in the soil, the battle took place a month ago."
"A month ago, we had already entered the 13th restricted area. Who could be so fast and get ahead of us?" Shunlong lowered his head and rubbed his wrinkled brows with his fingers. After a moment, he raised his head and asked in surprise, "Could it be an alien creature?"
"impossible!"
Unexpectedly, Wutan and Xuanwu objected at the same time.
"Why?" Shunlong was puzzled.
Xuanwu sneered and said, "To be frank, no matter how powerful the alien creatures are, they dare not take the initiative to come and provoke the bones of our four great beasts. The reason is that their bodies have been corrupted by the evil energy and cannot withstand our impact. Another obvious point is that they are incapable of opening the seal."
"In the entire Western Region, only a pseudo-god can defeat the divine bone and open the seal. After all, he was also among the four divine beasts when they were sealed. He must know the trick to remove the seal."
"However, the false god was sealed by the Tongtian Bridge and other divine objects, and his divine consciousness was suppressed by the stone tablet. He had no idea what happened here, so he can be ruled out. Then the only ones left are Li Tian and Zhao Qing, who are valued by the false god. Oh, and those mysterious golden-armored men..."
Wu Tian unraveled the mystery, traced the source, and finally locked on the target.
