Chapter 65: Dragon Soul of Resentment
[While your father, Jiang Fushan, was battling the Demonic Dragon, you went directly to Old Li.]
[You told him that the crack in the formation was at the bottom of the desert.]
[You did this because, with your current cultivation level, you couldn't see the bottom of the desert.]
[As for using escape techniques? You didn't know any. Even if you did, you couldn't possibly explore the entire bottom of the desert. The Desert of Death is simply too vast!]
[You remember from the last simulation that Old Li, who was at the Seventh Layer of Tribulation, flew with you for several days and still didn't fully traverse it.]
[You even suspect that the Desert of Death might be as large as the current inhabited area of the Southern Regions!]
[Old Li was skeptical about your words.]
[After all, in this simulation, you hadn't met Old Li, nor had you spent much time together.]
[However, Old Li thought that if what you said was true, it could save a lot of search time.]
[The key point was that even at the bottom of the desert, with his Seventh Layer of Tribulation cultivation, he could still detect something from above the desert if he deliberately searched.][The only cost would be using a bit more Divine Sense.]
[So, Old Li kept your words in mind.]
[However, because you arrived at the Desert of Death late, you didn't have a chance to meet your father, Jiang Fushan.]
[Old Li didn't know about your relationship, so he didn't take you along when he went to find the crack in the formation.]
[You didn't mind this.]
[Your goal was simply to find out if the crack in the formation was really at the bottom of the desert!]
[Two days later, Old Li indeed found the crack in the sealing formation at the bottom of the desert.]
[The battle between the Demonic Dragon and your father, Jiang Fushan, was still ongoing, and it was temporarily safe. Old Li didn't leave alone.]
[Instead, he chose to inform everyone of the coordinates, including you.]
[When you arrived at the crack in the formation, the place was already crowded with people, all of them cultivators from Spine Mountain.]
[The area didn't look like a desert at all; the ground was covered in blue stone.]
[After inquiring, you learned that many people, like you, had insufficient cultivation or didn't know escape techniques and couldn't reach the bottom of the desert on their own.]
[So, the sand in this part of the desert had been moved away by Old Li using his powerful magic!]
[As for why they were staying here and not leaving, it turned out they were worried about potential dangers outside the formation and decided to wait for Old Li, who was still transmitting the coordinates.]
[You looked at the crack in the formation and hesitated for a moment. You thought these people were right, so you didn't leave alone.]
[Three days later, Old Li returned. Except for your father, Jiang Fushan, who was still fighting the Demonic Dragon, everyone else entered the crack in the formation together.]
[At this moment, everyone was excited, thinking that they were heading towards a bright future. Some even began to dream about the wonders of the outside world.]
[But after stepping out of the crack in the formation, the environment they saw was far from beautiful!]
[After coming out, what greeted their eyes was darkness.]
[The ground was covered with eerie skeletons, some human and some ordinary demonic beasts, but most were massive dragon corpses!]
[You were puzzled by this scene.]
[Had you entered the Dragon Tomb?]
[In a previous simulation, you had left the Southern Regions through the Valley of Flames and arrived in the Great Wilderness.]
[You originally thought that leaving from here might also lead to the Great Wilderness.]
[But judging by the current situation, this definitely wasn't the case.]
[Although the Great Wilderness was desolate, compared to the atmosphere here, it was nothing.]
[Before you could think further, Old Li warned everyone that danger was approaching!]
[Everyone immediately became alert and vigilant.]
[Half an hour passed, but the danger Old Li mentioned never appeared.]
[At first, everyone thought Old Li might have sensed wrong.]
[But soon, many cultivators from Spine Mountain suddenly started attacking those around them.]
[The sudden attacks caught everyone off guard, resulting in many cultivators' deaths.]
[You were also attacked.]
[However, the people around you were only at the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stages. Even if they attacked suddenly, they couldn't break your protective Nascent Soul barrier.]
[You weren't harmed!]
[At this moment, Old Li furrowed his brows and slashed his sword towards the distance.]
[A Dragon Soul filled with resentment appeared before everyone.]
[Seeing this Dragon Soul, Old Li warned everyone to leave immediately, saying that the resentment here was too strong and had already affected their minds!]
[After speaking, Old Li engaged in battle with the Dragon Soul.]
[You used your Eye of Insight to examine the Dragon Soul and then ran away!]
[You couldn't afford to provoke it; this Dragon Soul had the strength of the Eighth Layer of Tribulation, even stronger than Old Li.]
[Old Li might not be its match, so it was better to escape first!]
[However, you underestimated the danger of this place.]
[You hadn't gone far when you saw another Dragon Soul filled with resentment in the distance.]
[This Dragon Soul was much weaker than the one fighting Old Li, only at the Spirit Transformation stage.]
[But you knew you still weren't its match, so you changed direction before getting close.]
[In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.]
[By this time, you were surrounded by a group of Dragon Souls filled with resentment.]
[Seeing that you were surrounded, you had no choice but to fight.]
[You died at the age of 63!]
[This simulation has ended.]
[You can choose two rewards from this simulation: Child of Fortune (Talent), Cultivation Level (Nascent Soul Sixth Layer), True Meaning of the Killing Dao (Minor Achievement), War God Art (Martial Dao Ancient Texts).]
[Child of Fortune (Talent)]: 1 million energy value.
[Cultivation Level (Nascent Soul Sixth Layer)]: 6 million energy value.
[True Meaning of the Killing Dao (Minor Achievement)]: 500 million energy value.
[War God Art (Martial Dao Ancient Texts)]: 1 billion energy value.
Jiang Yifeng looked at the end of the simulation and fell into deep thought.
This time, although he left the Desert of Death, it wasn't safe!
Why did he end up in a place filled with resentful Dragon Souls after leaving?
Where exactly was that place?
Was it really in the Nine Mystic Realm?
Jiang Yifeng suddenly felt uncertain.
Previously, Bai Ruoxue had said that passing through the places guarded by four fierce beasts would allow one to leave the Southern Regions and reach other areas of the Nine Mystic Realm. Was that really correct?
Jiang Yifeng hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now it seemed wrong!
For example, the Endless Sea. From what he learned from the Mystic Turtle, it was impossible to get out of there.
This time, after leaving the Desert of Death, he encountered a place filled with resentful Dragon Souls, which didn't seem like it was in the Nine Mystic Realm.
In this light, the information he got from Bai Ruoxue might not be accurate either.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Bai Ruoxue was just a cultivator at the Eighth Layer of Tribulation.
The sealing formation and the Southern Regions were all set up by mighty beings from the heavens. How could she know everything?
