The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Zhang Lingfeng realized with increasing urgency that he needed to quickly obtain the Level 5 Soul Essence Cultivation Method, gain more "lying down" points, and reach an agreement with the alliance as soon as possible.

Otherwise, given the Shadow Alliance's methods, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to deal with them.

He couldn't resist summoning the little golden dragon again.

The little golden dragon has been in the Monster Mountain Range for several years now.

Having heard nothing from it for so long, Zhang Lingfeng was honestly a little worried, fearing that something had happened to it.

Valley of the Gods.

In the underground palace.

The little golden dragon transformed into a golden boy and pulled the dragon-suppressing pillar from the ground. After that, a terrifying power was continuously released from the underground palace.

Most of the powerful figures outside the Heavenly God Valley were pulverized, and many suffered the fate of being annihilated, both physically and spiritually.

The little golden dragon also returned to its dragon form.

He was enveloped by a beam of light from the underground palace.

He was in a coma for a long time and only gradually woke up now.

"Little one, what are you doing here?"

A black dragon, imprisoned by iron chains, was circling inside the underground palace. Upon seeing the little golden dragon awaken, it inquired.

"senior."

The little golden dragon was weak.

If it weren't for that beam of light protecting it, and the black dragon saving it at the crucial moment, its physical body would probably have been destroyed long ago, leaving only a wisp of divine soul power.

"Your life force seems to come from a very distant place, with the life force of the world below, and even the aura left behind by the Ancestral Dragon."

Black Dragon said solemnly.

Although he was imprisoned in the underground palace, he had lived for countless years, and his strength was so great that even an Immortal Emperor might not be able to gain the upper hand against him.

"I was born in the Blackwater Starfield."

Little Golden Dragon said.

"Blackwater Starfield, what kind of place is that?"

Black Dragon was puzzled.

"In the world below, the ruler is called Zhang Lingfeng. In the distant past, the Ancestral River, in its pursuit of the traces of the Heavenly Dao, left me behind in a long river."

Until Zhang Lingfeng became the ruler of the Blackwater Starfield.

I was only able to hatch successfully after the Blackwater Starfield provided the conditions necessary for my birth.

Little Golden Dragon explained.

"I ascended to the upper world with him, but I don't know how he is now. I've been trapped here for a long time."

Little Golden Dragon misses Zhang Lingfeng very much.

"There is no good among humans. He conceived you only to possess your fortune and make you his own."

Black Dragon reminded him.

"No, Zhang Lingfeng isn't that kind of person. You don't understand him."

Little Golden Dragon shook his head and hurriedly defended himself.

"This place is extremely dangerous; you shouldn't be here."

The black dragon didn't want to argue with the little golden dragon, but there weren't many humans who could gain the approval of the dragon race.

"I am a member of the dragon race. I sensed the presence of my kind here, but I never expected to be trapped here because of it. Fortunately, I have finally met my senior."

Little Golden Dragon said with satisfaction.

"Senior, what happened to you? Who locked you up here?"

The little golden dragon saw the iron chain above and tried to split it with its dragon claws. However, the iron chain rebounded with an even stronger force, which made the little golden dragon dizzy and caused it to cough up blood on the spot.

Fortunately, the Dragon Essence was powerful.

With amazing vitality, the little golden dragon recovered quickly.

"It's all those damned humans."

The black dragon was furious.

He recalled, "I once had a human friend who was also a Soul Master, a Level 7 Soul Master. His appearance caused all the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Venerables to be filled with unease."

To eliminate him, to suppress him.

All the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Venerables seemed to have gone mad.

He was suppressed.

A powerful spiritual force resides beneath this underground palace.

I am also imprisoned here.

A cunning human powerhouse attempted to use my dragon bloodline to kill my dear friend.

I am suffering every day.

The pillar you pulled out was originally stuck in my body, but even so, you couldn't save me.

The black dragon seemed to be talking to itself.

"Ouch!"

he growled.

There is a special rune mark below the figure.

The runic markings seemed to have merged into several star systems.

A powerful fluctuation of divine soul power could be faintly sensed. The divine soul of a seventh-level Soul Master is difficult to destroy. Only through the power of an array and the consumption of a long period of time can a seventh-level Soul Master's soul be completely destroyed.

Black Dragon had no idea how long he had been imprisoned here.

Even as a divine beast, he was now emaciated, though this was in comparison to his original form. To the human powerhouses and the little golden dragon, his figure still appeared as imposing as a mountain.

"Level 7 Soul Master".

"Coincidentally, Zhang Lingfeng is also a Soul Master."

"However, it seems he has only become a Level 1 Soul Master."

The little golden dragon circled around the black dragon.

He was also drawn to the rune beneath the black dragon.

He discovered that the chains on the black dragon, which seemed to extend deep into the underground palace, were actually all bound to runes and even formations on the ground.

It is impossible to break the chain by brute force.

He could sense that the black dragon possessed terrifying power, but even so, it could not break the chains.

"Rubbish."

Black Dragon scoffed.

"Zhang Lingfeng is my friend, senior, please don't slander him."

Little Golden Dragon reminded him.

"Humans are all bad."

Black Dragon didn't want Little Golden Dragon to be deceived.

"If that's the case, why did you choose to live and die with your friend? Was it simply because he was a level seven Soul Master?"

Little Golden Dragon countered with a question.

"This……"

"Alright, perhaps in your eyes, Zhang Lingfeng is the same as my friend, a friend of the Dragon Clan."

Black Dragon was speechless, then said helplessly.

"If you ever meet Zhang Lingfeng in the future, you will definitely like him. If I can get out, I will definitely bring him to see you in the future."

Little Golden Dragon said.

"better not."

"I hate every human being."

Black Dragon shook his head.

"What if Zhang Lingfeng could rescue his senior one day?"

Little Golden Dragon tried.

"Hehehe."

Black Dragon couldn't help but laugh.

Even if Zhang Lingfeng had the ability to save him, he wouldn't dare disobey the orders of so many powerful Immortal Emperors. But seeing the little golden dragon's serious expression, the black dragon couldn't bear to discourage him and said, "If he can save me, maybe I can help him become a seventh-level Soul Yuan Master, provided that he is successful enough."

"He will definitely succeed. Senior, you may not know this, but Zhang Lingfeng's cultivation speed is even faster than our Dragon Clan. No one can catch up with his speed."

Moreover, Zhang Lingfeng doesn't need to cultivate at all to increase his strength.

Little Golden Dragon said confidently.

"Get stronger without cultivation? Hahaha, little guy, is this Zhang Lingfeng you're talking about perhaps the Chosen One of Heaven?"

Black Dragon couldn't help but laugh out loud, reminding him, "Don't easily trust every human, including this Zhang Lingfeng you mentioned. The cunning and treachery of humans are beyond your imagination. I even worry that your soul has been bewitched by Zhang Lingfeng. Your attitude and confidence in Zhang Lingfeng are a bit too much."

“I can understand why the senior doesn’t understand him or doesn’t believe him.”

"However, I've been in the Monster Mountain Range for so long, and if I'm not mistaken, as long as he's been safe and sound, he should have already transformed from a Human Immortal into a Celestial Immortal, or even a Golden Immortal." The little golden dragon didn't argue with the black dragon, but simply spoke to itself.

How long have you been in the Monster Mountain Range?

The Black Dragon knew when the Little Golden Dragon was trapped in the underground palace, but it didn't know when the Little Golden Dragon entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range. At the same time, it could also detect the Dragon Essence power on the Little Golden Dragon's body, which was enough to contend with a Golden Immortal cultivator.

Coupled with their racial talents and the powerful aura of divine beasts, even some humans who have mastered the Dao might not be able to withstand them.

"About thirty years!"

Little Golden Dragon said casually.

"For a human to advance from Human Immortal to Celestial Immortal within thirty years, their initial strength must have reached at least the peak of Human Immortal, and they must have obtained the help of a Soul Master. Even so, it is quite difficult to leap two major realms in succession within thirty years."

Even if the Zhang Lingfeng you mentioned does indeed have extraordinary abilities.

At this moment, his strength is at most no more than the eighth level of Earth Immortal, let alone a Celestial Immortal or even a Golden Immortal.

Black Dragon said with a confident expression.

The dragon race's cultivation methods differ from those of humans.

Humans possess powerful racial bloodline strength; once they reach adulthood, they can possess world-destroying power, provided they grow up normally.

Through racial talent, they can crush a group of human powerhouses.

Although humans possess extremely high comprehension and progress in cultivation at a much slower pace, they are far inferior to dragons. However, compared to dragons, humans have a higher potential for advancement.

Some extraordinary humans are even able to create their own cultivation systems, allowing their physical bodies, immortal essence, and even their divine souls to undergo continuous transformations.

The seventh-level Soul Master he had previously followed was also a being from the lower world who defied fate step by step and eventually became a seventh-level Soul Master.

Not only did he subdue him, but he also brought about his own demise.

"He is far more complex than you imagine. Based on his past trajectory of advancement, he is definitely at least a Celestial Immortal at this moment."

Little Golden Dragon had no doubt about the speed at which Zhang Lingfeng's strength had improved.

"You can no longer stay here. The humans who built this underground palace have already sensed the power fluctuations here. I can't help you now."

But you are not bound by the power of the formation.

I know there's an exit in the underground palace; you should go there.

Perhaps one day in the future, I will be able to meet the Zhang Lingfeng you spoke of, but you must always remember, dragons have no friends, and the strong are lonely.

Black Dragon didn't want to argue with Little Golden Dragon.

He sensed a powerful divine sense emanating from a distant star field, locking onto the Monster Mountain Range and covering the underground palace.

Once those people arrive, even if the little golden dragon wanted to escape, it wouldn't be able to.

He is still young and a golden five-clawed dragon, possessing the most glorious bloodline power. Perhaps in the future he will be able to break the dragon curse and lead the dragon race to a true rise.

"it is good."

The little golden dragon also sensed the danger.

Guided by the black dragon, they slowly ventured into the depths of the underground palace, attempting to emerge from it.

“Friend, if you had won back then, perhaps the curse on our dragon race would have been broken by you.”

The black dragon stared at the runes beneath it.

A wave of helpless divine soul power emanated from the runes beneath him.

His soul is slowly weakening. After being consumed by the long years, it has become extremely weak. It seems that in the near future, his soul will be scattered and he will truly perish, body and soul.

"My biggest worry right now is that no one will be able to inherit the seventh-level Soul Essence Cultivation Method."

A fluctuation of divine consciousness emanated from the runes.

"Hey."

The black dragon sighed.

"Your dragon race still has hope, but the Soul Master lineage has no hope left."

The person then emitted a fluctuation of divine soul energy.

The black dragon crouched down.

His body pressed down on the runes.

Black liquid oozed from the black scales on his body, covering the runes to reduce their power and prevent them from eroding his friend's soul.

This was the only way he could help his friend.

White Tiger Star Region.

Inside a palace.

A huge magic circle trembled.

The exact shape of the underground palace appeared in the center of the magic circle.

An old man in white robes was watching the changes in the underground palace. He could see the Dragon God Pillar being pulled out and someone entering the underground palace.

He was genuinely curious about what kind of life could enter the underground palace.

He couldn't help but use his divine powers and magic to make calculations.

A golden light flashed through the underground palace.

"Oh."

The old man in white robes was very surprised.

"Buzz!"

More than a dozen divine senses swept across the White Tiger Starfield from different starfields.

Is there any need to be so nervous?

"Don't you all trust the underground palace formations and other things you created together? Don't you trust your own magical abilities?"

The old man in white robes sneered.

The dozen or so divine senses gradually retreated.

"Master."

Is he still there?

A woman asked.

"Yes, of course he is. A seventh-level Soul Master, whose soul is immortal. Although the array and supernatural powers they left behind are powerful, and they even used the bloodline of the dragon race to suppress him, they cannot be destroyed without a thousand reincarnations."

The old man in white robes said firmly.

"Will he be able to get out?"

The woman asked again.

"What do you think?"

The old man in white robes countered with a question.

The woman is silent.

The white-robed elder looked towards the direction of the Monster Mountain Range, thinking to himself, "It's really strange. According to the Heavenly Dao, there is a familiar aura over there, but why can't I sense it now?"

Could he also be a Soul Master?

Can one circumvent cause and effect and evade the tracing of Heaven's will?
Who exactly is it?

The old man in white robes felt confused.

As a level six Soul Master, he was constantly being watched by a group of Immortal Emperors. The entire White Tiger Starfield was under the influence of the Immortal Emperors' divine senses.

If I hadn't stayed in the White Tiger Starfield...

I'm afraid the strange occurrences in the Monster Mountain Range will be blamed on me, which will inevitably lead to all sorts of trouble.

He couldn't help but continue calculating.

The power of Heaven hovered above the White Tiger Starfield. Many Immortal Emperors noticed the anomaly, and some tried to stop it.

The old man in white robes put up a fight.

Several Immortal Emperors tried to subdue him, but none of them could suppress him.

It wasn't until more than a dozen Immortal Emperors made their move and the power of the Heavenly Dao was in grave danger that the white-robed elder had no choice but to stop. He only saw a blurry figure and a golden light.

The cause and effect of the Warcraft Mountains cannot be seen.

"Master, are you alright?"

The woman asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I'm just getting old and useless."

The old man in white robes shook his head.

"They've gone too far!"

The woman said angrily.

"Go to the Monster Mountain Range and visit all the cities near it. Find someone for me, a newly emerged Soul Master whose Soul Master level should be around level four. Find out about his past and report back to me promptly."

Also, make sure he's safe.

The old man in white robes said.

"Yes!"

The woman's body flashed, and she seemed to leave the White Tiger Starfield in the blink of an eye. The speed and distance of her spatial transformation far exceeded the imagination of ordinary cultivators. (End of Chapter)
