367: Xing Mulan: Does this Dragon God really mean to conflict with me?
However, they were temporarily unable to accurately predict the specific circumstances of this cultivation increase.
Therefore, whenever they encountered a new checkpoint, they would always send one person to attempt a Breakthrough first, and if they failed, other members would continue the challenge.
Qin Zhe and Jin Meiting exchanged glances, deciding to try together.
Just then, Lan Kun suddenly said, “Are you two planning to go together?”
Qin Zhe and Jin Meiting nodded.
Lan Kun continued, “We still don’t know how many checkpoints there are ahead. If both of you go together and still don’t pass, what will you do later? So, I personally don’t recommend it.”
“Then what should we do? It’s not an option to just keep waiting like this,” Jin Meiting said with a frown.
Lan Kun looked at the surroundings and calmly said, “Perhaps our initial idea was flawed. Each of these large stone gates here might be different from what’s inside the stone gate. Everyone, look around and see if there’s anything?”
Qin Zhe echoed, “Indeed, pushing open the large stone gates a few times before has given us fixed thinking. Let’s all look more, search more.”
Everyone started to ponder, looking at their surroundings.
Besides silence, there was no other movement.
At this moment, Hu Bingbing noticed the surrounding environment and suddenly discovered that some strange patterns seemed to be carved on the wall.
“Look at these patterns, are they related to a Formation? Maybe they are the key to unlocking this large stone gate,” Hu Bingbing said, pointing at the patterns on the wall.
Everyone gathered around, carefully observing the patterns.
Sure enough, they found that each pattern corresponded to a specific method of Spiritual Qi utilization.
Qin Zhe: “The patterns are indeed very strange. Should we try?”
Jin Meiting: “Let’s try it.”
Xin Mulan: “Go, finish it early, eat fish early.”
Linglong nodded.
Hu Bingbing: “But… what if it’s not right, and we don’t know how much Spiritual Qi is needed to follow it.”
Lan Kun: “Let Xin Mulan do it. Her cultivation is the highest among us, and her Spiritual Qi is the most abundant. The others should maintain their best state first.”
The others nodded: “That’s the only way.”
So, Xin Mulan began to try to mobilize the Spiritual Qi within her body according to the instructions on the patterns.
After some effort, Xin Mulan finally succeeded in injecting Spiritual Qi into the large stone gate.
With a muffled sound, the large stone gate slowly opened.
Then, they saw another scene inside the stone gate, which left them utterly stunned.
Lan Kun, Qin Zhe, Jin Meiting, Hu Bingbing, and Xin Mulan cautiously approached the stone gate with Linglong.
When they gently pushed open the stone gate, an old aura rushed out.
As soon as they stepped into the stone gate, they were instantly enveloped by an invisible pressure.
This pressure was like Mount Tai pressing down, making it difficult for people to breathe.
Linglong bore the brunt, falling directly to the ground, a pressure from the Soul making Linglong bare her fangs.
At this moment, it shed its clumsy appearance, revealing its ferocity, yet it seemed to be enduring immense pressure, making it unable to move for a while.
Xin Mulan, with her Phoenix Bloodline, although also feeling the pressure, she stubbornly held on with her strong will.
Her face was pale, and fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead, but her gaze remained firm.
She gritted her teeth, striving to maintain her balance, not letting herself fall.
Lan Kun, Qin Zhe, Jin Meiting, and the other three all noticed the changes in Xin Mulan and Linglong. They also felt the presence of the pressure, but their situations varied.
Some, like Linglong, were directly sprawled on the ground, unable to move; others could barely stand, but their bodies trembled incessantly; still others tried to resist the pressure, but their efforts seemed futile.
In the face of this pressure, everyone felt their own insignificance and powerlessness.
They seemed to be in a huge vortex, unable to extricate themselves.
Just then, a profound Dragon roar came.
Just then, a giant Dragon in the shape of a Dragon suddenly appeared above them. It glowed with golden light and was incomparably majestic.
Everyone’s eyes widened, unable to believe what they saw.
However, this giant Dragon only appeared for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
As the giant Dragon’s figure disappeared, the pressure they felt became increasingly intense.
Linglong heard the Dragon roar and subconsciously looked up, but before she could say a word, the giant Dragon had already vanished.
“Alas, why is it gone?”
Linglong sighed with a hint of disappointment.
“But this pressure is so annoying, it’s pressing down on me so hard I can barely breathe!” the Dragon complained with a frown.
Xin Mulan, on the other side, was not much better off; she was being supported by Jin Meiting.
“What the hell is this? The Dragon is gone, so why hasn’t this pressure disappeared?”
Xin Mulan stood up with difficulty, her gaze fixed forward.
“Everyone, do not panic.”
Lan Kun said in a deep voice, “This pressure might be some kind of test. We need to steady our minds and face it together.”
Qin Zhe nodded in agreement: “That’s right, the more difficult the moment, the more we need to be united.”
Jin Meiting’s delicate brows furrowed: “But how can we pass this test?”
Hu Bingbing pondered for a moment and said, “When that giant Dragon appeared just now, I seemed to see that the light on its body resonated with the patterns on the wall. Perhaps the answer lies within these patterns.”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the patterns on the wall, trying to find the mystery within them.
Just then, an anomaly suddenly occurred.
The patterns on the wall seemed to come alive, radiating dazzling light, and a mysterious power suddenly emerged...
Everyone was drawn by this mysterious power and involuntarily approached the wall.
They found that the patterns on the wall actually began to rotate, and their speed became faster and faster.
Suddenly, countless rays of light shot out from the patterns, hitting everyone’s bodies respectively.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was submerged in the light and lost consciousness.
When they woke up again, they found themselves in a strange place, surrounded by a rich Spiritual Qi.
Not far away, an ancient stone tablet stood.
Xin Mulan and the others approached the stone tablet and saw a line of text carved on it: “If one cannot comprehend a trace of the Dragon God’s true meaning, then it is considered a failure to pass the Dragon Gate.”
At this moment, they understood that the next test was to comprehend the Dragon God’s true meaning.
Xin Mulan and the others sat down around the stone tablet, beginning to comprehend the Dragon God’s true meaning. However, as she tried to comprehend, she felt herself drifting further and further from the Dragon God’s true meaning.
It was as if she was completely incompatible with the Dragon God’s true meaning.
Moreover, whenever she started to comprehend the Dragon God’s true meaning, the Bloodline in her body would begin to boil, and the Phoenix true meaning seemed about to rush out.
So, Xing Mulan simply gave up on comprehending, although she still didn’t understand what was going on.
Time passed minute by minute, everyone immersed in their own thoughts.
Suddenly, Jin Meiting opened her eyes and excitedly shouted, “I think I understand a little!”
Lan Kun, Qin Zhe, Hu Bingbing, Xin Mulan, and the others all looked at her.
Jin Meiting took a deep breath and explained, “The Dragon is a symbol of strength and wisdom. If we want to comprehend the Dragon God’s true meaning, we must achieve a Fusion of our own strength and wisdom.”
Qin Zhe nodded in agreement: “That makes sense, we might as well give it a try.”
So, everyone adjusted their mindset and tried to gather their strength and wisdom.
As they tried, a faint light gradually emanated from their bodies.
Especially Linglong, who was already a Dragon, and whose Bloodline had evolved a trace of Dragon Clan Bloodline through the Talent Spiritual Fruit, naturally had the deepest comprehension of the Dragon God’s true meaning, and its light was the strongest.
Seeing this, Lan Kun showed joy: “It seems we’ve found the right direction! Everyone, put in more effort!”
With everyone’s unremitting efforts, their light became increasingly dazzling.
Finally, everyone’s light merged into one, forming a huge pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
In an instant, that powerful pressure dissipated without a trace, replaced by a gentle force that enveloped everyone.
At this point, they successfully broke free from the pressure and also comprehended the Dragon God’s true meaning.
Immediately, they reappeared inside the stone gate.
Only Xing Mulan looked at them in confusion, they had comprehended it already?
What did it feel like?
