8: Chapter 8: The Giant Dragon Statue – Real or Illusory?

However, even if Lin Ran caused an even bigger scene, she wasn't afraid.

With one being the Vice Peak Master of Destiny Peak and the other being the Peak Master of Yin Yang Peak, how could she and Su Xiyue not be able to protect Lin Ran?

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the choice mission!]

[Rewards: 4,000 destiny points, two breakthrough pills!]

In Lin Ran's mind, the System notification suddenly rang out, and the rewards were successfully delivered.

By killing Xu Sheng, he was able to obtain two breakthrough pills.

This Xu Sheng wasn't some kind of enemy; he was clearly a wealth-delivering boy!

He was a Treasure Trove of a man who came to deliver treasures to him!

"I heard that Xu Sheng and Xu Kun have quite the background. Now that I've killed Xu Sheng, I'm afraid there will be repercussions."

"But it doesn't matter. I'll deal with whatever comes my way."

Lin Ran's expression remained calm.

The current him was no longer the trash he used to be.

The current him possessed max-level Comprehension Ability, skeletal structure, and Aptitude; he was a peerless Prodigy who had undergone the Awakening of the Destiny Immortal Body!

As long as he exposed his Destiny Immortal Body, the entire Feixian Sect would likely treat him like an ancestor and provide for him!

Even if he turned the Feixian Sect upside down and caused total chaos, he believed those Old Ancestors would only clap and cheer, praising him for being full of life and vigor, fitting for the high energy of youth!

"Next, it's time to comprehend the Yin-Yang True Intent."

Without stopping, Lin Ran rushed toward the location of that statue.

In this world, there are nine Great Daos that are the most powerful.

They are Yin and Yang, Life and Death, Five Elements, Darkness, Light, Space, Karma, Time, and Destiny.

It is said that these nine Great Daos are the ones highly regarded by Immortals; they are the most mysterious and the earliest nine Great Daos to be born.

Therefore, these nine Great Daos are also called the Immortal Nine Paths by countless people and are recognized as top-tier Great Daos.

Among the Immortal Nine Paths, the Yin Yang Great Dao is slightly inferior to the other eight, while the Great Dao of Destiny is the most powerful Great Dao in its own right.

However, while the Yin Yang Great Dao might be 'weak,' that is only relative.

No matter what, it is ranked among the Immortal Nine Paths and is a genuine top-tier Great Dao, much stronger than other Elementary, Intermediate, or Advanced Great Daos.

And Yin-Yang True Intent can be considered a top-tier True Intent; Lin Ran naturally wanted to comprehend it.

Flying along the route in his memory, before long, Lin Ran saw a statue ahead that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, exuding a grand and majestic Aura.

This was the statue of a giant dragon, carved in a lifelike manner.

Each scale covering its body had clearly visible patterns, emitting a piercing cold light, looking incredibly realistic.

Its pair of pupils, like the brilliant sun, looked down upon the vast world.

This giant dragon just lay there quietly, yet it brought a spiritual shock to people, making them somewhat afraid to look directly at its majesty.

"The yin yang sacred stele is the supreme treasure of my Yin Yang Peak. It's said to be a treasure found by the founding Old Ancestor of the Feixian Sect, but no one has ever glimpsed its true mysteries."

"So, what exactly is the yin yang sacred stele, and what mysteries does it hold?"

"Could this statue really be just a statue?!"

Lin Ran pondered inwardly, his eyes never leaving the giant dragon statue for a moment.

And just as he met the gaze of the giant dragon statue's pupils, suddenly, he felt as if the statue's eyes moved, and that majestic gaze, which viewed all things as insignificant, was actually sizing him up!

In that instant, Lin Ran felt as if he were being watched by a supreme and terrifying existence. He felt as though he were in the middle of a stormy sea with massive waves, and before him, a coiled dragon was slowly straightening its body, staring at him quietly.

"Ah!"

Lin Ran snapped back to his senses and let out an instinctive cry of surprise. Cold sweat drenched his back, and his heart pounded like a war drum.

He looked at the pupils of the giant dragon statue again, but that world-shaking, soul-chilling scene did not reappear.

He fell into a state of confusion.

"Was it my hallucination... or was it real?!"

"What mysteries does this giant dragon statue contain? Could it really be a living creature?!"

A series of question marks floated in Lin Ran's mind, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find the answer.

He didn't know if that scene just now was an illusion or reality.

But no matter how he tried to meet the gaze of this giant dragon statue now, he couldn't replicate that scene again.

"Forget it. I'll wait until my cultivation is higher before exploring the mysteries of this statue. For now, I'll focus on comprehending the Yin-Yang True Intent."

Lin Ran shook his head slightly and flew toward the giant dragon statue.

At this time, the area around the giant dragon statue was already crowded with the Divine Souls of many Disciples, and even Li Zhenwu's Divine Soul had arrived early.

They had all come to comprehend the Yin-Yang True Intent.

However, the Yin Yang Great Dao is a top-tier Great Dao, and the Yin-Yang True Intent is one of the nine top-tier True Intents in the world. How could it be comprehended just like that?

Consequently, many Disciples felt that perhaps their cultivation was too weak or their Opportunity had not yet arrived, and they wouldn't be able to comprehend the Yin-Yang True Intent during this opening of the yin yang sacred stele.

This led to dejected Disciples being seen everywhere.

"Sigh, as expected of one of my sect's supreme treasures, the yin yang sacred stele. Is it still too difficult for the current me to comprehend the Yin-Yang True Intent within it?"

Li Zhenwu snapped his sharp eyes open and shook his head unwillingly.

On the body of this giant dragon statue, there were eight ancient and mysterious runes that exuded a primitive Aura.

Behind these eight runes, there was also a small dragon-shaped pattern.

To comprehend the Yin-Yang True Intent, one needed to take all eight of these runes into their sight.

However, Li Zhenwu's ability was limited; he had only managed to take five runes into his sight before his Divine Soul strength could no longer endure it, leading to failure.

If he were to force himself to take all eight runes into his sight, he would likely suffer a Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"I wonder who could possibly take all eight of these runes into their sight at once."

Li Zhenwu sighed with emotion.

The Special Physique he had awakened was the incredibly powerful Supreme Physique, yet he still found it difficult to comprehend the Yin-Yang True Intent here. Did it really require those peerless Prodigies who had awakened an Emperor Physique to comprehend the Yin-Yang True Intent?

But...

The rarity of an Emperor Physique was such that it was hard to see even once in a thousand years.

Even among the various Peak Masters, those who could awaken an Emperor Physique were few and far between.

Therefore, the Supreme Physique was already the strongest Physique on the surface.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother, you've finally come here!"

"Oh my, Senior Brother's speed is really slow; you've kept us waiting for so long!"

"Tsk, what's wrong with Senior Brother being slow? I wouldn't like it if Senior Brother were fast! It's best if Senior Brother is slower and more powerful~"

A woman threw a flirtatious wink at Lin Ran, her words full of double entendres.

Su Xiyue: Slower and more powerful? I'm familiar with this process!

To this, Lin Ran was already used to it, simply treating these Junior Sisters as his most adorable die-hard fans.
