Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Dragon Shadow Old man

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

When that dragon roar sounded out throughout the entire Dragon Gathering Mountain, the 2 giant gates in the distance slowly opened.

Not far away from here, it was a roughly 300 feet wide stone gate. Inside it was pitch black, so deep that one couldn’t see the bottom of it.

The other gate was on the cliff above. It was 3000 feet higher than here. Before this, one couldn’t see a single trace of it, only know when it opened did it appear in front of the eyes of everyone.

Outside the gate, 9 giant dragon statues circled it, making it look majestic whilst also giving off a dense atmosphere.

In the next instance, the voice of Xuan Taiji spread all about, “This dragon gate was left by desolate era martial saint dragon shadow old man to strengthen the martial path of our cloud world, to shine through all directions. This is why no matter what race, which faction one was from one would be able to enter to view. Today, I, Xuan Taiji will only say one sentence, I hope that when all of you enter you will all remember the words ‘harmony is to be prized’.”

When his words landed, people like Long Ruo all drove their artifacts into the air. Tens of bright light charged through that inner gate.

It wasn’t until the 20th person entered did that stone gate tightly shut with a ‘hong; sound.

The many grade 8 experts here all relaxed and started to smile.

Zong Shou laughed coldly to himself and he knew the reason why those sects sent so many experts here wasn’t that they were so nice to maintain order.

A large part of the reason was to protect the spots of those 20 to prevent other people from entering.

The other people all swarmed towards the outer gate below. However, a lot of them were blocked, The people who had spots before just needed to show their tokens and they could enter directly.

Although there was no limit in outer gate entries, there was a difference in the order that one went in by.

Zong Shou was the master of this land and he didn’t need to take out the few wooden tokens that the common people path made for him. The 2 of them walked to the gate and no one stopped them.

It made Zong Shou feel a little regretful. His original intention was to sell some spots, using his identity as Lord of the land to bring more people to enter to earn a small amount. However, for some reason, no one came to contact him about him.

Following which he asked Jin Buhui curiously, “I thought brother Jin would directly enter through the inner gate.”

“My Haoxuan Sect only got 2 spots. It isn’t enough for the few grade 7 senior brothers, how would there be a space for me?”

Jin Buhui’s face was one of depression as he reached into his chest and took out 10 tokens to enter the Dragon Gathering Mountain, “What a huge loss of business, I spent so much money to get a few tokens from my few senior masters. I heard that in the last the business was explosive but this time I was unable to sell anything…”

Zong Shou was impressed, thinking that heroes think the same way. After thinking seriously for a moment, he said in deep thought, “There are simply too many people, the sects won’t be able to stop them.”

“That’s right! In the past, when people were little naturally the sects could do whatever they wanted. Now even my Haoxuan Sect doesn’t dare to easily offend so many people. No one is a fool!”

Jin Buhui agreed, his gaze was sharp, “These people didn’t come for the martial saint remnant image…”

Zong Shou smiled and took the lead in. In his heart, he was curious about what thing it was that attracted so many people?

Crossing a long tunnel, there were full 9 paths laid out in front of him. Some were wide whilst some were narrow.

However, without an exception, all of them were covered in strong martial intent. When he stepped in Zong Shou’s soul felt a bit of pressure.

He wasn’t surprised. The intent of a martial saint would get stronger when it faced stronger people and weaker when it faced the weak. If he had no cultivation at all, the situation will be quite similar.

Looking at all the different paths to see if there were any mysteries about it, Jin Bubui smiled, “There’s no need to hesitate just choose! The cave is connected all over. During these ten thousand years, people tried to find out the secrets but no one succeeded.”

Following which he passed several scrolls over, “These are the maps my senior brothers and grand seniors drew from memory from the last few times. It is said that every hundred years the land inside will change. Every time the dragon gate opens, it would be different. However, the information will always have some similarities.

Zong Shou opened one of the scrolls only to see that on it the paths were interconnected, unbelievably complex with many landmark markings. For example, sword comprehension spot, sword art remnant page, and suspicious spot were all labeled on it. Many places weren’t explored and were just left empty.

When he remembered all the parts of the map and raised his head, he saw Jin Buhui taking the lead and walk to the opening of a cave. He was startled and asked, “Brother Jin where are you going to?”

“Of course I’m going to search for my chance.”

Jin Buhui turned back his head and used his fat hand to wave, “I’m always used to coming and going alone and loved to eat on my own. Everyone’s luck is different. I’m not willing to take up yours and don’t want others to share my stuff, anyways one should just depend on their luck. Oh, right I forgot to mention. It is said that there are 3 spots that can enter the inner gate. However, during these ten thousand years, no one has been able to do it. Brother Zong can give it a try, maybe we can meet there. Goodbye!”

Looking at the shining gold body leave, Zong Shou smiled. Jin Buhui’s actions were just what he preferred. Although his tone wasn’t that likable, he was honest. On the contrary, his personality was likable.

Zong Shou casually picked up the map, leading Zong Yuan into another cave.

After entering, the path ahead of him was curved and twisting around. As expected from what Jin Buhui said, it was different from the last dragon gate opening.

Apart from the 9 caves when they just entered which were similar, the others all had changed.

However if one looked carefully one could notice some traces. For example, the location of some tunnels and rock halls. They were either shifted or they were located above or below. He could barely recognize the rough channels had a little similarity from before.

Instantly, he felt grateful. If it wasn’t for the map given by Jin Buhui, he would be lost after he entered and was going to faint from the maze.

Walking for 8 minutes Zong Shou had some relative idea of this place.

“That place should be not far from here…”

The place Zong Shou was trying to find was a stone hall. Based on the sword comprehension mark on the map, it should be a place where a person could comprehend the true meaning of the sword path.

Zong Shou first knocked on the stone wall and heard a Low “tu tu” sound. It was obvious that this stone pillar was thick.

When Zong Shou slashed down with the lightning winged sword, it only left a mark which was a foot and a half.

A moment later he saw this mark was slowly healing!

Zong Shou couldn’t help but shake his head. Before this, he had tried several times and the outcome was just like that. He gave up on the thought of directly opening up the cave, it seems like that wouldn’t work.

He didn’t feel disappointed, instead, he frowned and entered deep thought.

There should be some sort of mystery existing which he still hasn’t found out about.

Moreover, it had something to do with the entrance and the 9 caves.

“This place is the Dragon Gathering Mountain and there are 9 dragon veins Gathering here. Did the land shape here change along with these dragon veins?”

Although Zong Shou couldn’t remember the movement of the dragon vein beneath the mountain, he could deduce it. He hurriedly opened all the maps that Jin Buhui gave him.

In the next moment, he smiled involuntarily. Although this guess didn’t hit, he wasn’t far from it. Naturally, it wasn’t as simple as he thought, something should be lacking.

He felt his head hurt slightly. He remembered the god-emperor game in the last life. What he hated most was exploring new maps.

Unless he had no choice, if not he would only proceed when others completed above 70% of the map and were about to complete the attack strategy. Although he did nothing and enjoyed the fruits of others and was also a step slower than others, he saved time.

Things like Dragon Gathering Mountain was at least a high level in the god-emperor game.

Who knows how much gains would he be able to get?

Thinking seriously, Zong Shou continued forwards. This time it was like he was familiar, in just a moment he found the place which was marked as sword comprehension spot.

It was a 50 feet stone hall which was the same as the symbol on the map.

Everywhere here was pitch black. One could hear had a few nights illuminating pearls which shone brightly, causing this small hall to be lit up.

The moment, he entered he was attracted by a row of wall drawings. On the walls on the left and right there were each 13 paintings.

Zong Shou’s gaze directly fell on the 7th drawing on the left. It was a scene of the 2 giant dragons fighting in the cloud ocean.

It was very roughly drawn, based on the sayings of ten thousand years in the future, it was what they called abstract art.

However, it seemed magical as it attracted his attention. The scene in front of him started to change like he was personally in the place.

He saw one ice and one fire, two giant dragons flipping and entangling in the vast cloud ocean. The power of the ice and fire caused the air to freeze, forming into frost as it fell whilst suddenly boiling and evaporating.

A painful dragon roar shook his eardrums. The blue and red colored scales were ripped off, golden dragon blood dropped down drip by drip.

2 giant dragons, both suffered heavy injuries which touched the heart.

Zong Shou was fully focused, only to see the red dragon image roar at him. It suddenly broke away from the ice dragon and charged down on him.

Zong Shou’s brows curled up and he laughed coldly, saying in his mouth ‘scram’.

The illusion in front of him instantly collapsed. The 2 giant dragons fighting in the air also totally disappeared.

The wall drawing reverted to before into that abstract art.

When Zong Shou looked at the others, they were all different. Only ten of them could put him in an illusion whilst the rest couldn’t.

However, without an exception, they were all related to dragons.

Apart from the ice and fire dragon battle drawing, what Zong Shou paid attention to was another one. A dragon surrounded in flashing lightning, a giant dragon circling the horizon.
