Chapter 973: Hidden Past
“80,000 years ago, a true dragon was grievously wounded and ran out from a great battlefield, wanting to go through the realms to escape. However, it met a human legion and was pursued. In the end, the legion took it down while its corpse fell into a grand dimension. A sage from Nine-abyss secretly took it back to Sixth Central.”
“The corpse of a true dragon…” You Zilin may be powerful but still had his childlike curiosity.
“What kind of existence managed to injure a true dragon?” Another youth said, thinking that this was just an unsubstantiated legend.
“Not long ago, the news of this corpse spread and shocked all of Sixth Central. A messenger from the dragon race arrived and of course, the city lord didn’t dare to offend the messenger and handed the corpse over right away. However, the messenger was unhappy about something and demanded the city lord to hand an item over. It is said that the city had no idea what this item was.”
“So that true dragon had something on it?” You Zilin’s eyes darted back and forth as he speculated.
“Eventually, a fight broke out between the two of them. The messenger was killed but still took down the city. As for the corpse, it disappeared from sight. Three domains nearby were annihilated as well. Several hundred thousands of miles are just filled with ominous entities now.”
“Later on, another draconic expert came and sank the city down to the ground. Everyone thought that he had brought the corpse back but now, that doesn’t seem to be the case since the dragon is back out with the city.”
The daoist paused for a moment before continuing: “Sigh, who knows what these things forebode, most likely nothing good.”
“Then why are we here?” You Ziling asked while meditating on a blue cloud. Her daoist robe was clean; her lucid eyes were as bright as the stars.
She had a bang covering her fair forehead, looking rather beautiful and intelligent.
“There are nine abysses with spirit veins here, hence the name of the city. They can purify your body, that’s why we’re here. If one of you is lucky, you might be able to refine your body in one and increase both your cultivation and potential, becoming a lord of Lifeless in the future.”
