Chapter 176 The gossip has backfired on me.
"If I could devour all the dragon clouds, dragon souls, and even the true dragon bones in this Dragon Valley..."
"Then I might be able to truly purify my bloodline and completely transform into a dragon!"
"At that time, what sea god, what divine realm, all of them will be trampled under my feet!"
Besides the dragon clouds, dragon souls, and dragon bones, what the Deep Sea Demon Whale King cared about most was the dragon god's remains mentioned in the introduction!
Although he didn't know exactly how strong the dragon god was, since it was a fallen god, the remaining core bones must contain unimaginable divine power!
"As long as I devour it, perhaps I can break the shackles of this world and step into the second-level god realm in one fell swoop!"
Thinking of this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could no longer restrain himself.
"Demon!"
He roared.
"Big brother, I'm here!"
A cold figure quickly appeared in the hall, it was the Demon Orca King.
Now he had completely become the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's underling, but it was precisely because he followed this god-level big brother that his ambition swelled up.
"Gather your people!"
"Follow me on this expedition!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King waved his hand, his single eye gleaming with ferocity:
"I'll take the lion's share of the opportunities in Dragon Valley!"
"Anyone who dares to challenge me, whether a land-based Soul Master or one of those ferocious beasts from Star Dou Forest, I'll devour them all!"
"Yes, Big Brother!"
The Demon Tiger Whale King's eyes also gleamed with excitement.
Following this big brother, even just getting a little sip would be incredibly rewarding!
Rumble!
The deep sea boiled.
The two ocean overlords, leading an endless army of sea soul beasts, marched mightily towards the direction indicated by the sky.
A massive, earth-shattering battle, sweeping across land, sea, and air, involving humans, beastmen, and sea creatures, was about to erupt in the mysterious Dragon Valley world!
Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Spirit Hall was unusually calm, even orderly.
With the Rakshasa Secret Realm and the Angelic Holy Light as two great opportunities before them, most of the Spirit Hall's elite soul masters were obediently staying in Spirit City to receive their family's inheritance, showing no intention of going to Dragon Valley to join the fun.
Inside the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu looked at the magnificent image of Dragon Valley on the celestial screen, a glint of wisdom flashing in his aged eyes.
"Issue my order!"
Qian Daoliu's voice was steady and powerful, brooking no argument:
"All members of the Spirit Hall, whether elders or deacons, are forbidden from going to Dragon Valley without permission!"
"Those who disobey will be expelled from the Spirit Hall, their lives and deaths at their own risk!"
Upon hearing this order, many of the cardinals who had been eager to go were stunned, harboring some resentment.
That was the treasure of the dragon race!
But Qian Daoliu understood perfectly.
Through the description on the celestial screen, he had already seen through the essence of Dragon Valley—it was the ancestral tomb of the dragon race!
And wasn't the Beast God Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest, and even the legendary Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, a member of the Dragon Clan?
"That's their ancestral tomb; they'll definitely reclaim it at all costs!"
"The opportunities in Dragon Valley might be better than in our Spirit Hall, but the mortality rate..."
"Absolutely one hundred percent!"
"It will become a meat grinder for god-level powerhouses; even titled Douluos will only be cannon fodder!"
"We just need to protect the Angel and Rakshasa lineages and steadily improve our strength."
It has to be said, experience counts.
Qian Daoliu's decree directly saved the Spirit Hall from a devastating catastrophe.
With the exposure of Dragon Valley, the entire continent's attention was drawn to it.
But everyone was curious.
Dragon Valley, a place that buries countless true dragons and even possesses the remains of a dragon god, was only ranked second?
Then who was the first-ranked place, towering over the dragon race?!
Just as everyone's attention was focused on this, golden light gathered again in the sky!
[Opportunity Ranking, First Place!]
[Opportunity Name: Xuanyuan Sword Formation]
[Location: Canglan Academy]
Boom!!!
Upon seeing these four words, the entire continent erupted in an uproar!
"Canglan Academy? Canglan Academy again?!"
"Is this academy cheating? The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is theirs, and now even the top spot is theirs?"
"Xuanyuan Sword Formation, the name alone sounds powerful!"
However, the detailed description that followed was the real source of everyone's madness.
[Opportunity Description:]
The scene shifted, revealing the faintly visible formation above Canglan Academy.
Countless golden sword energies wandered in the void, each containing terrifying power enough to kill a Title Douluo.
This formation was personally set up by Lin Yuan, fusing ultimate sword intent with the laws of spacetime!
Within the formation lies a self-contained world, seamlessly integrating offense and defense; anything below the god level who touches it is instantly killed, and even god-level experts find it difficult to escape!
[Core Opportunities:]
1. Sword God Enlightenment: The formation contains god-level sword intent left behind by Lin Yuan! Soul masters possessing sword martial souls who can comprehend even a fraction of this will see their sword cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, directly reaching the realm of Sword God!
2. Spacetime Mysteries: The formation operates within the flow of spatial laws! Suitable for space-type soul masters to comprehend, enabling them to grasp divine techniques such as space travel and imprisonment!
3. Those who pass the sword formation test, or those with considerable talent who are chosen by Lin Yuan, can become Lin Yuan's personal disciples!
Those who become Lin Yuan's disciples will receive his instruction and have a high probability of becoming gods!
Dead silence.
Then, a roar a hundred times more frenzied than when Dragon Valley was exposed!
"Become a god?!"
"High probability of becoming a god?!"
"Holy crap! This is even more outrageous than godhood inheritance!"
"Godhood inheritance requires a near-death experience, and this just requires becoming a disciple to become a god?"
"I'm going to Canglan Academy! Nobody stop me! I'm going to become an apprentice!"
"Me too! I may be a hammer wielder, but I've had a heart set on swordsmanship since I was a child!"
[Heavenly Dao Enhancement:]
1. Safe Mode: During the opening of the Heavenly Canopy, the sword formation enters trial mode with reduced power!
2. Near-Death Teleportation: Those entering the formation can seriously comprehend the sword intent and spatial power contained within. If they encounter mortal danger, they will be automatically teleported out of the formation without any worries!
3. Comprehension Enhancement: Comprehension within the formation is increased tenfold! It's easier to gain the sword formation's approval!
[The Heavenly Canopy guides the location of the opportunity!]
Lin Yuan and his disciple are on Seagod Island.
"Cough cough..."
Lin Yuan's eyes widened as he looked at the familiar sword formation, his lips twitching slightly.
"The Xuanyuan Sword Formation?"
"First place?"
"This... how did I end up being the butcher of this mess?"
He never imagined that the top spot, surpassing Dragon Valley, Angel Temple, Seagod Island, and other god-level relics, would be the protective formation he casually set up in the academy?!
"The Heavenly Dao really knows how to create trouble for me."
Lin Yuan looked at the description, "[Anyone who becomes Lin Yuan's disciple has a chance to become a god]," and couldn't help but mentally complain:
"What do you mean by 'a chance to become a god'?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't treat godhood like it's a free lunch!"
"Raising a god is exhausting, okay? You have to provide resources, cultivation techniques, and take them everywhere..."
