Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

"Your Majesty, please!"

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai made way for the dragon vein, which was located inside the secret cave they were guarding.

Xu Qing nodded slightly and stepped into the secret passage, after which the group followed.

The places where dragon veins are hidden are not simply treasure caves.

It is not a mausoleum, but an extremely solemn, ancient, magnificent mausoleum filled with a sacred and oppressive atmosphere.

This is the tomb of the ancient Yellow Emperor!
The interior of the mausoleum was incredibly vast and not dark at all; a soft light illuminated the very center of the space.

As Xu Qing passed through the secret passage, a vast and sacred aura suddenly appeared before him, filled with unparalleled divine dragon might.

This aura subtly stirred the power of the demonic dragon within him.

"That's the dragon vein!"

The spot where Nie Renwang pointed was a natural stone platform in the center of the vast space, like a high platform used for sacrifices.

On that stone platform, there lay quietly a section of crystal-clear spine that emitted a gentle white light—the dragon vein that represented the fortune of the Chinese nation!

"This is a dragon vein?!"

"A spine!?"

Nie Feng and Duan Lang were surprised, not expecting the dragon vein to be so concrete, almost like a human spine.

"The dragon vein is formed from the spine of the ancient Yellow Emperor, and it embodies the fortune of the entire land," Xu Qing said calmly.

This is an extremely magical object, even more peculiar than the He Shi Bi jade that Xu Qing saw in the Great Sui world.

A special object that gathers the fortune of the entire land. It is said that those who possess this object will have strong fortune and can suppress it without damage.

It can also purify malevolent energy and quell the demonic nature within.

The latter two effects are quite similar to those of the He Shi Bi jade disc.

The He Shi Bi jade in the Sui Dynasty world could also purify the anger and evil in one's heart and suppress demonic nature.

“What Your Majesty says is true. That spine contains the fortune of the entire Divine Land. After Brother Nie and I discovered this, we understood that this thing must not be lost, otherwise the Divine Land will suffer a catastrophic disaster.”

Duan Shuai said with a solemn expression.

"Rest assured, I will take good care of this item. The divine beast, the fire unicorn, which guarded this item died because of me, so I will naturally take over its responsibility of guarding the dragon vein."

Xu Qing looked solemn. In the original timeline, this dragon vein was destroyed by Duan Lang, leading to continuous disasters in the Divine Land.

Now that he has the dragon vein under his protection, he is confident that no one can destroy it.

"That sword is!?"

Suddenly, Duan Lang noticed an ancient and majestic golden holy sword standing beside the dragon vein.

“That must be the Yellow Emperor’s sword, the Xuanyuan Sword!” Nie Renwang said.

"The Xuanyuan Sword!? That legendary holy sword!?" Nie Feng was surprised. The Xuanyuan Sword was a legendary divine weapon.

And now it just stands there.

Xu Qing stepped to the stone platform and took a closer look. The sword was engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, plants, and trees.

Unfortunately, this divine weapon has endured countless years, its brilliance has faded, and its spirit has been lost!
"Unfortunately, the Xuanyuan Sword has become scrap metal."

Duan Lang also realized this. As a master swordsman, he could clearly sense that the Xuanyuan Sword's spirituality had completely disappeared.

Divine weapons possess a spirit; only those with a spirit can possess the power of divine weapons.

If spirituality is lost, it will quickly become just an ordinary weapon.

Over such a long period of time, the weapons have lost even the slightest bit of their sharpness.

Even the slightest touch could reduce this once-divine weapon to dust.

"The Yellow Emperor has been dead for many years, so the divine weapon would naturally disappear with him." Xu Qing was not surprised by this.

In the world of Fengyun, some divine weapons will disappear along with their masters upon their death.

Xuanyuan Sword is such an example.

Xu Qing did not touch the Xuanyuan Sword, which was on the verge of collapse, but instead reached out and grasped the Dragon Vein.

In that instant, Xu Qing's mind and body suddenly became incredibly peaceful, and the ferocity that had been growing stronger due to his enlightenment of the Killing Dao gradually disappeared.

The power of the dragon vein is at work!

Xu Qing's heart stirred slightly; this thing had a great effect on purifying the soul.

It's even stronger than the He Shi Bi jade!
It truly lives up to its reputation as a divine object that gathers the fortune of the entire land.

At the same time, Xu Qing could vaguely feel that his own power was being refined under the power of the dragon vein. This item could help him refine his true essence more quickly!

It's really a good product!
"Master, what's wrong?" Duan Lang asked curiously. Xu Qing came back to his senses and smiled, "I'm fine. This thing can calm one's mind and bring peace. It is indeed a divine object."

"Let's go."

With the dragon vein in hand, all the opportunities within the Lingyun Cave were also obtained.

There's no need for me to stay here any longer.

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai naturally didn't need to stay here any longer, so they also left Lingyun Cave together.

"It feels so good!"

The two breathed in the fresh air, their faces showing an indescribable sense of relaxation.

Guarding the dragon vein within the Lingyun Cave for a full ten years is something no ordinary person could do.

If the two hadn't been able to exchange martial arts insights and relieve each other's boredom, it would have been really difficult for them to get through all these years.

"Huh, is this my grave?!"

Suddenly, Duan Shuai noticed the tombstone at the entrance of the cave.

"This is mine?!"

Nie Renwang also walked closer and took a look, and found his own tombstone.

The two men had strange expressions, but Xu Qing's expression was even stranger.

What is this?! An otherworldly martial arts version of Ultraman recognizing a grave?!

This reminded Xu Qing of the scene he witnessed in his previous life where the Ultra Brothers were visiting graves in the Ultra Universe.

I almost burst out laughing.

Duan Lang and Nie Feng walked awkwardly to their fathers' side.

"We thought you were dead, so we built a grave for you here!"

Duan Lang explained.

"Hahaha, this is really quite a rare sight, the first time I've ever seen my own grave," Duan Shuai laughed.

"It is a bit strange." Nie Renwang stroked his chin and nodded in agreement.

boom!boom!
Suddenly, Duan Lang unleashed a palm strike, the terrifying force of which leveled both graves.

"You brat, what are you doing?!" Duan Shuai was both shocked and furious.

That brat actually blew up my grave right in front of me!
Duan Lang looked bewildered, then explained, "Since you're all still alive, this naturally has to be destroyed!"

"You don't need to come!" Duan Shuai glared at Duan Lang.

"Tch, what's the difference? It's all going to be destroyed anyway," Duan Lang said indifferently.

"Hey, you brat, you've really got some nerve, daring to talk to your old man like that!?"

Duan Shuai almost couldn't resist drawing the Fire Kirin Sword, wanting to give Duan Lang the power of fatherly love that he hadn't experienced in many years.

But Duan Lang was faster, grabbing Duan Shuai's hand and saying with a grin, "Dad, you're no match for me now!"

Furthermore, with a forceful shake, he snatched the Fire Kirin Sword from Duan Shuai's hand.

"Let me wield this Fire Kirin Sword."

Duan Shuai was stunned on the spot, never expecting that his son's methods would be so formidable.

They were able to snatch the Fire Kirin Sword from his hands so easily!

The strength they just displayed is truly not to be underestimated!

It seems that he is really old!

Nie Renwang also noticed this, and he was secretly alarmed, as Duan Shuai's strength was on par with his own.

If he couldn't do anything to Duan Lang, wouldn't that mean he was no match for Feng'er either?

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai exchanged a glance and both sighed; they had truly grown old.

In just ten years, he has already been surpassed by his successors.

However, this further confirms that Xu Qing has been very successful in raising their son.

Number one in the world, truly remarkable!
