CHAPTER 193 THE DEAD BODY OF A DRAGON

Darren flew with Scott.

"Darren, I know you have a lot of questions in your mind. You can ask me now," Scott said as he

landed on the top of a huge mountain. Then he made his way toward a stone and sat down.

"Scott, you came here for that blood pool, didn't you? Can you tell me more about the lake?" Darren

asked.

"Okay. It is said that the lake is the birthplace of all sects with our dragon bloodline. It is possible that it

is the provenance for all creatures in the world who have the aura of dragon blood." Scott's explanation

aroused Darren's curiosity.

"If that is the case, the blood inside the pool is real dragon blood, right?" Darren asked in surprise.

Scott nodded. After a moment, he continued, "According to my clan's recordings, this is the blood of the

original dragon. But after thousands of years, the lake has almost dried out. The original dragon aura

has almost completely disappeared.

However, the dragon blood left in the lake can produce one Dragon Saliva Fruit every few thousand

years, which can strengthen a cultivator's bloodline force. That's why I have come here."

"So, where did the dragon blood come from?" Darren asked. Scott's explanation had piqued his

curiosity.

"From outside this world," Scott said expressionlessly as he pointed at the sky. "You will understand

when I show you something."

Darren nodded before voicing another question. "Scott, since you are from the Dragon Blood Clan, can

you tell me whether all the members of the Dragon Sect keep the dragon bloodline?"

Scott shook his head and replied, "My Dragon Blood Clan is on the Western Fire Island, and my clan is

in charge of the Dragon Holy Land, generation by generation."

"What?" Darren was confused by Scott's reply. Then he said, "I was told that the Dragon Sect was

previously the Ancient Dragon Holy Land. Later, it was replaced by the Dragon Sect."

"You are right. The Holy Lord of the Ancient Dragon Holy Land was a member of our clan. But he was

too ambitious and did something to cross the line. So, our clan asked my father to replace him. It is

complicated. We can talk about it later," Scott replied.

"Oh, I see. Scott, you have such a high cultivation base, but you were still severely injured. Were your

injuries caused by the Blood Dragon in the blood pool?" Darren asked.

"No. Another terrible creature hurt me. The Holy Lords, including me, encountered it previously and it

was almost as strong as us at that time. But now that a few months have passed, I am certain that it

has improved at a terrible speed. I believe it is probably as powerful as a Grand Realm cultivator."

Darren was shocked at Scott's words. He knew that the terrible creature Scott mentioned was the fiend

that flew out from the bronze coffin.

"Okay, Darren. Now, follow me, and I will show you something extraordinary. After that, we should

leave. I am afraid that the terrible creature is still around and that we are in great danger." Scott This belongs to - ©.

shuddered in fear at the mention of the creature.

...

Darren followed Scott as they flew over one great mountain and another. Finally, they stopped at a

remote place. Darren was stunned as he looked ahead.

"Oh, my goddess!" Darren muttered. He had never been this shocked before.

Far ahead of them, a clear lake glistened in the sun. And on the lake lay a dead body!

The dead body was black all over and as long as thousands of miles. Although it had been dead for

hundreds of thousands of years, it still gave off a powerful and mysterious aura!

According to the legends, that was the body of an ancient cyan dragon!

Now, Darren was convinced that there was dragon blood in the giant lake. Although Darren had not

believed the legends before, he couldn't deny them now. After all, he was looking at the dragon's body!

As Darren continued to study the creature from afar, he could not help but wonder how powerful the

cyan dragon would be if it were alive now. Darren was certain that it could ruin the whole world with

only one paw!

"Scott, the dragon blood is from this cyan dragon?" Darren asked, still stunned.

"You are right. The secret recordings from my ancestors mentioned that this cyan dragon came from

outside our world many hundreds of thousands of years ago. It fell on this tremendous barren area.

When my ancestors found it, it was already dead. Its blood pooled on the ground and formed that giant

lake. That was the origin of the dragon blood lake we saw previously."

"Wow!"

Darren sighed. He wondered if there were some other powerful creatures in the dark and mysterious

outside space. Up until now, Darren had heard of two dreadful creatures that came from the outer

world. One was the "guest from the outside world" who had killed numerous powerful cultivators at the

Grand Realm, and even many at the Holy Realm. That had been a terrible battle!

Another was this dragon. Darren was, indeed, shocked!

"Scott, how about we fly closer to that dragon and have a look. Maybe we will find something unusual,"

Darren suggested.

"No, we can't." Scott stopped him at once. Then he added, "Although the cyan dragon is dead, it still

has power. If I fly forward another ten miles, I will be killed and turned into ash. We cannot get close to

it."

"Is it still that powerful?" Darren had nothing else to say.

"Do not doubt it. Many powerful cultivators came here a long time ago. And all of them had the same

idea as you. But none of them could get close to it. Some ancient books say that a few cultivators at

the Holy Realm came here to investigate and even they could not get close. So many years have

passed. Although its power has weakened, it is still unreachable for cultivators like you and me," Scott

said with a serious expression.

"But, we are the blood of the dragon. Maybe we are different," Darren argued as he did not want to give

up.

Scott shook his head and replied calmly, "There was an elder from my clan, who had very thick dragon

blood. He transformed into his genuine dragon body and went to have a look. But he died on his way.

So what do you think will happen if we go closer? We are no match to the elder's level."

Hearing what Scott said, Darren stopped trying to persuade Scott.

'I will find an opportunity to get closer.' Darren decided before flying away with Scott.

...

"Scott, do you know the Talent Roll of this time?" Darren asked Scott.

"Of course, I know it. Do you want to check your rank?" Scott gazed at Darren as he wondered what

rank Darren had reached.

"Yes. My aim is to enter the top one hundred on the Talent Roll," Darren answered.

"Top one hundred? I estimate that your rank is above the top three thousand," Scott replied.

"Above the top three thousand? How can you tell my rank, Scott? Are the talents on the Talent Roll so

powerful?" Darren was unconvinced.

"Actually, my clan has the complete Talent Roll. It updates according to the latest ranks. I have tried to

enter the top one thousand, but failed."

"Scott, did you say that your clan has the complete Talent Roll? Can I see it?" Darren was excited.

"Yes. There's no need to be surprised. Each super clan, such as the Heavenly Palace Sect in the south

land, also has one. No rules prevent you from seeing the Talent Roll. At my speed, I might need

another month to return to my clan. After we leave here, you can calculate how much time is required.

Then you can find me at the Dragon Sect. I will show you the Talent Roll," Scott said.

"Thank you, Scott." Darren cupped his hands and bowed to Scott. Despite being the Holy Lord, Scott

was willing to spend a month traveling to fulfill Darren's request. Darren felt grateful.

"You don't need to be so formal with me," Scott smiled at Darren, which was rare.

"Darren, at your cultivation base, it is impossible to enter the top one hundred. Among the top hundred

cultivators on the Talent Roll, the lowest-ranked cultivator is at the top level of the middle stage of the

Wonder Realm!" Scott reminded Darren.

"Ha-ha! Scott! Don't forget what I have learned. I believe I have the strength to fight a cultivator at the

middle stage of the Wonder Realm." Darren had great confidence in his abilities.

"You can fight against a cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm? It is definitely impossible,

although I do not want to destroy your confidence," Scott looked at Darren helplessly and replied.

"What? Why do you say that? I know more than one fighting method."

"It is impossible even if you have learned thousands of fighting ways. If you don't believe me, you can

battle me. I will use the power of a cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm. Then you will

know the reason," Scott said to Darren.

After hearing Scott's proposal, Darren was about to agree. Darren never backed down from a fight,

even if it meant there was a huge likelihood that he would be defeated.
