Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

In just an instant, a spatial Qi vortex took shape.

A majestic aura spread out from the space, from which a powerful wave of Dragon Qi swept forth.

It was as if it had connected to a Dragon Vein.

'Success!' The Ninth Prince's heart leaped with joy.

'Dragon Qi is actually spreading out from it!' Ling Fei's Heart Spirit also sensed the aura emanating from the Qi vortex.

'My Dragon Bone is resonating. Something is attracting it.' Suddenly, the Dragon Bone in Ling Fei's back began to stir restlessly, as if it wanted to enter the spatial Qi vortex.

'Should I go take a look?' Ling Fei wondered.

"Yiyi!" He then summoned Yiyi from the Dragon Bone Space.

Yiyi appeared and carried Ling Fei as it flew forward.

Having reached the Primordial Pill Realm, its flight speed far surpassed Ling Fei's.

'The array is complete!' As the Qi vortex manifested, a smile tugged at the corner of the Ninth Prince's lips. With a wave of his hand, he retrieved the Heaven-Encompassing Array Disc.

After retrieving the Array Disc, he took a large stride and stepped into the Qi vortex before him.

SWOOSH!

Just as the Ninth Prince stepped into the Qi vortex, Ling Fei and Yiyi flashed, transforming into a streak of light and plunging into the vortex as well.

Upon entering the Qi vortex, Ling Fei felt his breath catch. A spatial pressure threatened to grind him to dust, and it felt as though the blood vessels in his body were about to burst.

However, this pressure did not last long.

A moment later, he felt all the pressure dissipate. Light flashed before his eyes, his body felt light, and he found himself in a mountain forest.

'Such dense Dragon Qi!' The moment he landed, Ling Fei sensed the dense Dragon Qi that saturated the world around him.

The density of this Dragon Qi actually surpassed that of the Imperial Palace.

'What is this place?' With some surprise, Ling Fei's attention shifted, and he happened to spot the Ninth Prince dashing forward.

'I'll follow him and see.' Then, Ling Fei moved, rushing forward.

Yiyi landed on his shoulder. The little creature blinked its eyes, its face full of curiosity as it looked around.

The Ninth Prince moved through the mountain forest, pressing onward, completely unaware that Ling Fei was following him from behind.

...

The Ninth Prince passed through the forest and finally arrived at the peak of a mountain.

Below him was a massive valley.

If one were to look down from the Void, they would discover that this valley was situated like the head of a dragon on the Rulong mountain range where the Imperial Capital lay.

Because this was a Forbidden Land, a sealing barrier of light isolated everything, making it impossible for outsiders to see the situation inside.

But from the inside, the valley's profound mysteries were apparent.

The Dragon Qi here was incredibly dense. It gathered in the valley and transformed into a Qi Dragon that coiled in the sky above.

'Dragon Qi condenses, transforming into a dragon in the sky... Is this the legendary Trapped Dragon Valley?' Standing on the mountain peak, the Ninth Prince's heart pounded with excitement as he gazed at the condensed Qi Dragon in the valley ahead.

Although he had long heard that the Royal Family possessed such a Forbidden Land.

But the Ninth Prince had never seen it with his own eyes and couldn't be certain it truly existed.

Yet now, it seemed to be exactly as the legends described.

'In that case, it means a True Dragon Spirit might really be sealed here. If I absorb it, I'll have a great chance of forging a True Dragon Foundation.'

Filled with excitement, the Ninth Prince rushed down toward the valley.

'Dragon Qi condenses, a Transforming Dragon Coiling Heaven... This...' As the Ninth Prince descended into the valley, Ling Fei also arrived at the mountain peak.

Seeing this scene, he was inwardly shaken.

'How unbelievably dense must the Dragon Qi be for it to spontaneously condense into the shape of a dragon coiling above the valley!'

Ling Fei hurriedly rushed down into the valley as well.

Dragon Qi swirled within the valley, like a thick, rolling mist.

Through the mist, a vast, open area could be seen.

The ground here was paved perfectly flat with enormous stones.

To the side, eight massive pillars stood tall within the valley, like Qingtian pillars supporting the heavens.

True Dragons were carved onto these pillars, coiling around them.

There were Dao Patterns beneath each pillar.

If one looked closely, an enormous True Dragon was carved in the center of the pillars.

The True Dragon seemed to be coiled on the surface of an Array Disc.

'Is this the Eight Dragons Trapping Spirit?' the Ninth Prince wondered, his face a mask of astonishment as he approached.

The eight pillars and the True Dragon Map pattern in the center clearly formed a grand array.

It looked as if it was sealing something within.

'Legend says that when a Primordial Vein reaches its peak, it will give birth to a True Spirit. Once the True Spirit gains intelligence, it will take the original vein with it, which is then known as a Spirit Vein. Most likely, this Dragon Vein gave birth to a True Spirit, and our Royal Family's ancestors must have feared the True Spirit would depart with the Dragon Vein, so they sealed it here.'

The Ninth Prince murmured, "This way, the Dragon Vein will exist forever, and the foundation of my Great Tang Empire can be passed down for countless generations."

'Now, I just need to use this Heaven-Encompassing Disc to communicate with the Dragon Vein and absorb some of the True Dragon Spirit's Essence Qi to build my True Dragon Foundation.' The Ninth Prince's eyes burned with fervor. This was almost exactly as he had predicted. He then strode forward, walking toward one of the Dragon Pillars ahead.

Arriving there, the Ninth Prince waved his hand and took out the Heaven-Encompassing Array Disc.

Then, he formed a Hand Technique. Light Patterns flickered on the Array Disc as it floated directly above his head, enveloping him.

The next moment, the Ninth Prince sat down cross-legged beside the Array Pillar.

After sitting down beside the Array Pillar, he began to control the Array Disc. Light Patterns flickered across it, forming a Qi vortex. Dao Patterns shot out from the vortex and landed directly on the Array Patterns at the pillar's base. A power that could connect with space was generated. The Heaven-Encompassing Array Disc was clearly intended to communicate with the Array Pillar's Seal, allowing the Ninth Prince to absorb the Essence Qi of the True Dragon Spirit within.

'The Heaven-Encompassing Disc is truly profound! It can communicate with the sealed space without causing any fluctuations.' The Ninth Prince was delighted as the Heaven-Encompassing Disc activated.

With his Heart Spirit, he could already sense that the Array Disc had connected to another space.

That place had to be the sealed region.

His Heart Spirit continued to extend its senses through the Array Disc.

'What immense Dragon Qi!' There, he sensed an incredibly dense Dragon Qi.

'And a Supreme Dragon's Might.' Then, he felt a wave of Supreme Dragon's Might.

At once, the Ninth Prince was ecstatic.

That Dragon's Might felt too real.

'Could a True Dragon Spirit really be sealed here?' The Ninth Prince's Heart Spirit continued to probe deeper.

At this time, Ling Fei also appeared beside the eight Dragon Pillars.

However, upon arriving, his expression grew solemn.

'Why is my True Dragon Bone trembling? It feels as if its old arch-enemy is here,' Ling Fei thought, his face filled with bewilderment.

If not an arch-enemy...

...then at least an enemy the Dragon Bone had once faced.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be emitting such fluctuations, which clearly contained a strange sense of anxiety and tension.

Because Ling Fei was currently very weak, and the True Dragon Bone itself had exhausted much of its energy and was in a dormant state, it was natural for it to react upon sensing a great enemy from its past. As for the truth of the matter, Ling Fei couldn't make a judgment just yet. He simply fixed his gaze on the Ninth Prince.

'What is he doing?' Ling Fei's face was full of suspicion.

An Array Disc was floating above the Ninth Prince's head, completely shrouded by a curtain of light.

Ling Fei was completely unable to sense what was happening inside.

...

'Such a dense True Dragon Aura!' At that moment, the Ninth Prince's Heart Spirit was continuously sinking into that space.

It was a dark and gloomy space.

'Why does this place look like a tomb?' Suddenly, the Ninth Prince's pupils constricted. He realized his Heart Spirit was inside a tomb.

'Based on what I imagined, my Heart Spirit should have appeared inside the Dragon Vein!'
