Chapter 380 A Mysterious Roar Rises Again! Could There Be a Dragon Imprisoned Inside?!
"Two days, and you've only cracked ten percent?"
Hearing Gu Zhiyun's answer, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.
One had to know, Gu Zhiyun was already an exceptionally gifted Formation Genius, and now she even had the boost of that sixty-percent Comprehension Ability.
Furthermore, she had Senior Jian, a former Saint Realm powerhouse, personally guiding her from the side.
Under such a dream-like top-tier configuration, facing a remnant Formation whose energy was almost exhausted,
after working non-stop for two days and two nights without sleep, she had only barely managed to tear open a gap of about ten percent?
What did this mean?
It meant that when this great Formation was intact and at its Peak, its grade was definitely terrifyingly high!
"Old Grandfather, with your insight, can you tell what level this great Formation is?"
Lin Xiyue came to Senior Jian's side and looked at the still obscure and indistinct void Formation patterns ahead, unable to resist asking out of curiosity.
In her view, if she could figure out the level of this great Formation, she might be able to roughly judge what level of strength the former owner of this Underwater Herb Garden possessed.
Hearing this, Senior Jian stared deeply at the veins of the great Formation ahead but did not immediately give a clear answer.
He pondered for a moment and finally shook his head somewhat helplessly.
"Girl Lin..."
"To be honest, it's not easy for this old man to judge at the moment."
"Oh? Even you can't tell?" Lin Xiyue was stunned.
Senior Jian stroked his beard and sighed lightly:
"Although the Daos of the myriad realms share the same source, and the way of Formations remains essentially the same despite all changes,"
"but the underlying logic and structural methods of the way of Formations in your world are quite different from the Formation system in the Cangxuan Great Realm."
"If it weren't for this old man using my powerful insight to forcibly deduce it, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to take the first step in breaking this Formation."
Speaking to this point, an unusually bright light suddenly flashed in Senior Jian's eyes.
"However..."
"this old man feels that the way of Formations in your world... seems even more profound and mysterious!"
"It contains many unpredictable patterns that are simply impossible to guard against!"
Hearing this, Li Fan, who was on the side, couldn't help but gasp.
The way of Formations is even more profound than in the Cangxuan Great Realm?
Doesn't this mean that in the extremely distant ancient times, the evolution of the Dao of Formations in this world of Blue Star was even more profound than the current Cangxuan Great Realm?
That also indirectly confirmed a scalp-numbing fact!
That is, the former upper limit of this world, or rather the Peak of its prime, was a notch higher than the Cangxuan Great Realm!
"So that's how it is..."
Lin Xiyue nodded with a complex expression.
She hadn't expected Senior Jian to give such a high evaluation.
But this couldn't be considered good news.
After all, the more glorious Blue Star once was and the higher its upper limit, the deeper the secrets hidden beneath these waters!
"Isn't it though!"
Just as the atmosphere became slightly heavy, Gu Zhiyun turned her head and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Thanks to this Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability boost!"
"Otherwise, just based on the profound complexity of this Formation's twists and turns,"
"even with Senior Jian's step-by-step guidance, with my current attainments, I wouldn't be able to understand it at all!"
The longer she stayed in Great Xia, the more she could deeply appreciate how insane the Comprehension Ability boost Lin Mo gave her was!
Compared to her current state where thoughts gushed like a spring and she could infer many things from one,
she felt that the time she spent painstakingly meditating on Formation maps in the Cangxuan Great Realm was such a miserable life!
It was simply like an unenlightened primitive person!
"Sigh, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality!"
"Having gotten used to this feeling of being a Genius and a Prodigy, how will I live if it's gone in the future?"
"I can't go back, I really can't go back!"
Gu Zhiyun muttered, half-complaining and half-rejoicing, but her hands didn't stop for a moment as she continued to meticulously crack the Formation patterns.
Roar!!!
Just as the few of them were chatting,
suddenly, from the deepest part of the herb garden, a world-shaking roar that could pierce gold and crack stone erupted!
This roar was more violent than any previous one!
Moreover, because Lin Xiyue had already gone deep into the interior of the herb garden and was closer to the source of the sound,
she could more clearly and intuitively feel the terrifying power mixed in that roar, enough to make one's Divine Soul tremble!
The entire space seemed to tremble slightly under this massive roar!
"Eek!!"
Gu Zhiyun's hand shook, and she was so startled by the sudden sound that she pulled back her neck, her pretty face instantly turning pale.
"That's really terrifying!"
"What kind of scary monster is trapped inside here?"
"Every time I hear this sound, my heart thumps, and I can't help but shiver with fear!"
Even though Gu Zhiyun had heard this noise several times over the past two days,
hearing it again at such close range, she still couldn't help but shudder.
Not just her, Li Fan, who had been on guard nearby, now had an expression that became more serious than ever.
"That sound again..."
He gripped his iron sword tightly, looked at Senior Jian, and asked with a furrowed brow:
"Senior Jian, do you think some supreme evil demon is being suppressed in the depths of this herb garden?"
"Then, if we destroy this Formation now, will we accidentally release that evil demon?"
Li Fan's concern was not without reason; in such ancient ruins, it was all too common for some world-destroying Devil Head to be Sealed.
Hearing this, Lin Xiyue's expression also suddenly changed!
Li Fan's words woke her up.
If that were really the case, wouldn't their actions be courting death?
If this monster were released, wouldn't their Great Xia be the first to suffer?!
"No."
Facing the concerns of the two, Senior Jian shook his head very certainly.
"I didn't sense any bloodthirsty or chaotic Devilish Qi from that roar."
"Not an evil demon?"
Lin Xiyue breathed a slight sigh of relief but still asked with some unease:
"Then what kind of thing made this roar? Its power is so strong; it can't be a watchdog, right?"
"Heh... Not exactly a watchdog."
Senior Jian's expression became much more solemn.
"From the aftershocks of these roars, I detected a very rich... Dragon Might!"
"In other words,"
"in the depths of this herb garden, there is likely a Dragon trapped!"
"Dragon?!"
Hearing this word, Lin Xiyue and Gu Zhiyun exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Creatures like Dragons certainly existed in the Cangxuan Great Realm as well.
But in fact, those so-called Dragon Clans were not True Dragons!
They were just "Divine Beast Remnant Eggs" with True Dragon Bloodlines.
Just like the two Divine Beast eggs Lin Mo sent back not long ago, the Fire Fierce Phoenix and the Azure Feather Green Luan, they only contained a trace of Divine Beast Bloodline.
True Dragons and True Phoenixes were already legendary existences in the Cangxuan Great Realm, having gone extinct in the endless ages past!
But it could not be denied that even if they weren't True Dragons or True Phoenixes, the strength of those Divine Beast Remnant Eggs was usually terrifyingly powerful, able to enter the Saint Realm upon reaching adulthood!
"Ah?"
"A Dragon is trapped in here?!"
Gu Zhiyun was clearly also aware of the fact that there were no longer True Dragons in the Cangxuan Great Realm, so she widened her eyes and asked incredulously:
"Is it a True Dragon??"
"Probably not."
Senior Jian shook his head, negating this world-shaking guess.
"If it were a Pure-blooded True Dragon, such a naturally divine being, just a single angry roar would likely cause this space to collapse directly."
"But even so..."
Senior Jian looked deeply into the depths of the mist.
"Judging from the penetration and pressure of this roar, the True Dragon Bloodline within this Dragon's body has likely reached an extremely terrifying level!"
"Its strength definitely cannot be underestimated!"
Hearing Senior Jian's evaluation, Lin Xiyue's heart rose again.
"Then Old Grandfather, to be safe, should we stop cracking the Formation here?"
"After all... if this Dragon's strength is truly ridiculously high, once we release it, it will be very difficult for us to deal with!"
Lin Xiyue didn't want to gamble with the safety of Great Xia.
No matter how good the Opportunity was, one had to be alive to take it.
"No need to worry too much."
Seeing Lin Xiyue wanting to back out, Senior Jian waved his hand and gave her a reassurance.
"This old man has already investigated carefully before."
"That Dragon seems to be firmly sealed in the deepest part of the herb garden by some extremely terrifying means."
"And the Formation we are currently cracking is actually a relatively independent space and is not connected to where that Dragon is sealed."
Senior Jian pointed to the great Formation before them and said in a deep voice:
"Therefore, you can rest assured and break the Formation."
"Behind this Formation, there should be something truly valuable of this ancient herb garden hidden."
"Thus, to find clues about this place, cracking this remnant Formation..."
...is currently our only choice!
