The shadow figure looked at it for a quarter of an hour, becoming increasingly confused, and finally exclaimed in surprise,
“How strange. If that’s the case, I’ll have to go deeper and ask those old fellows inside to take a look.”
Following the shadow figure, Qin Mu continued deeper, walking and communicating with the Divine Dragon Senior in his mind.
“Divine Dragon Senior, do you think they’ll be able to see your presence?”
“Human boy, rest assured. You and I are of one heart and body. Even if they wanted to see this old man, it wouldn’t be possible without paying a price.”
The Divine Dragon said this with full confidence, knowing that he is a Divine Dragon! There are few in this world that can match him.
The Divine Dragon spoke with great confidence, but Qin Mu deeply understood one principle: don’t casually set flags, or you’ll be slapped in the face.
Qin Mu followed the shadow figure step by step.
Beside him was Lu Shuanger’s master.
When she noticed Qin Mu’s gaze, Chu Jiujiu smiled gently and said,
“Young Master Qin, there’s no need to be nervous. Although the atmosphere here is a bit gloomy, there’s nothing dangerous.”
With so many remnant souls of the Gu Tribe’s High Priests guarding this place, evil spirits cannot be born.
The deeper they went, the more Qin Mu realized that the remnant souls were stronger.
At the periphery, they seemed to be only at the Heavenly Unity Stage.
As they entered deeper, their cultivation gradually increased, and he eventually encountered remnant souls at the Tribulation Stage.
As the remnant souls’ strength increased, the shadow figure gradually revealed its appearance.
“Hehe, a little fellow at the Foundation Establishment Stage has entered.”
A voice rang out.
Qin Mu followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man in black leaning against a stone tablet, holding a gourd in one hand and pouring wine into his mouth.
With this style and flair, there’s no need to guess—he’s definitely a big shot.
“Junior Qin Mu greets Senior.”
Regardless, the seniority of the remnant souls here is more than enough to be Qin Mu’s great-grandfather.
The man in black looked at Qin Mu, scanning him up and down, and said,
“You are not a person of my Gu Tribe, but there seems to be something on you related to the Gu Tribe. Strange.”
The next moment, the man in black appeared in front of Qin Mu.
Although he was used to these big shots suddenly appearing, Qin Mu was still startled when one appeared right before him.
The man in black’s gaze finally locked onto Qin Mu’s right arm, and he pointed and said,
“Young friend, may this old man take a look?”
“Senior, please look.”
Since the Divine Dragon Senior said it’s difficult to detect his existence, Qin Mu trusted him this time.
As Qin Mu’s arm was revealed, golden stripes appeared before him, causing the man in black’s gaze to pause.
After another quarter of an hour, the man in black shook his head.
“I never expected that after living so long and thinking I had seen all sorts of things in this world, it seems I was naive.”
Even the man in black couldn’t recognize it, which surprised Chu Jiujiu.
Qin Mu might not know the identity of the man in black, but Chu Jiujiu did.
He was one of the most outstanding High Priests of the Gu Tribe, who had roamed the entire Heavenly Profound Continent and even visited the Four Great Seas, but ultimately failed to ascend to the Great Ascension Realm and passed away.
Qin Mu saw that yet another big shot couldn’t recognize it, and thought,
‘The Divine Dragon Senior was right.’
But this was not good.
Qin Mu had come here to solve his own problem.
If he were a Person of Destiny related to the Gu Tribe, that would be fine, and there might be a great opportunity here for him.
But if this continued, and no one recognized it, where would his opportunity be?
The man in black took a sip of wine, looked back, and said,
“This old man might not have the answer here, but in the deepest part, those few might be interested.”
The deepest part?
Wasn’t that the legendary location of the Gu Tribe’s original High Priests?
“Elder Ancestor, isn’t the deepest part inaccessible?”
Chu Jiujiu asked.
She had come here many times but had never once entered the deepest part.
Hearing Chu Jiujiu’s question, the man in black laughed and explained,
“That’s only because you are still alive. Those few are afraid that the death aura on them is too heavy, and it wouldn’t be good for you to be contaminated. However, this time, the thing on this young friend might pique their interest.”
This is bad!
Qin Mu listened to the conversation and realized that it meant the deepest part might have someone who could recognize the Divine Dragon Senior.
“Urgent! Divine Dragon Senior, did you hear that?”
Compared to Qin Mu, the Divine Dragon was still as unflappable as ever.
“Relax. Even if someone recognizes it, they will only see that these patterns are related to the Divine Dragon, but they won’t be able to see me.”
It had to be.
The reason Qin Mu was afraid of someone detecting the Divine Dragon Senior’s existence was that he worried these people might covet the Divine Dragon’s power and try to take it for themselves.
Since no one could identify the stripes on Qin Mu’s arm, the man in black personally led the way, also to satisfy his own curiosity.
Before long, they arrived at a large, pitch-black cave.
The man in black clasped his hands and said,
“Junior Qin He greets Elder Ancestor!”
After a moment, an exceptionally handsome young man walked out, his white robes fluttering.
Qin Mu couldn’t help but exclaim,
“Holy cow!”
If this were in his past life, there would definitely be a group of crazy fans shouting
“I want to have your babies,”
and some might even wear wedding dresses to concerts.
The young man lightly raised his hand, and Qin Mu felt something sweep over him, like being seen clearly while taking a bath.
If someone added another line like
“Bro, you smell nice,”
then he’d be inescapably doomed.
“I already know what happened just now.”
The young man looked at Qin Mu and asked,
“Young friend, what is your relationship with the Divine Dragon?”
Qin Mu: “!!!”
Oh my god!
“Divine Dragon Senior!!!”
With such yelling from Qin Mu, normally the Divine Dragon Senior would have impatiently said, “What are you shouting for?”
But now, it was calm.
“Divine Dragon Senior! Divine Dragon Senior, say something!”
Three seconds later.
Qin Mu: “…”
‘I’m so stupid. Really.’
“What? Senior, what do you mean?”
Qin Mu tried to make his eyes full of pure foolishness, making himself look as if he knew nothing.
The atmosphere at this moment was very quiet.
Finally, the young man spoke:
“It seems that young friend obtained this power unintentionally. In that case, let me explain it.”
“This thing can be recognized by no more than the fingers on one hand in this world. This is a special mark of the Divine Dragon from the Ancient Era. Obtaining this pattern means you have received the Divine Dragon’s inheritance. In the future, if you have enough opportunity, you can even Transform into a Divine Dragon!”
“I remember in the Ancient Era, someone discovered the Divine Dragon’s habitat and gathered top experts from various races. Their ultimate goal was to obtain the Divine Dragon’s pattern and Transform into a Divine Dragon themselves.”
“However, even if this method of transforming into a Divine Dragon succeeded in the end, it would only be an Acquired Spiritual Being. Compared to the true Innate Spiritual Being that is the Divine Dragon, there is still a gap. Unless one obtains the most core Divine Dragon Blood, but that requires the Divine Dragon’s recognition, which is as difficult as reaching the heavens.”
