I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

The only two people involved were, at this moment, one had just eaten a raw sea fish and crawled out of the sea, standing naked next to the unfamiliar town trying to find his way, and the other was hidden in the clouds, having just crossed the border of the Great Xia.

Compared to when he arrived, Bai Lin's speed was much slower.

He hid himself in the clouds, watching the scenery flash by below like fleeting shadows, and felt quite emotional.

He's been holed up on Duck Head Mountain for so long, he's practically turned into a useless dragon.

If you think about it carefully, although the earth may lack spiritual energy, there are still beautiful landscapes to appreciate.

A vast and boundless sea, majestic and undulating mountains...

"Why isn't there a suitable place to rest?"

He stared at the ground. He saw many rivers along the way, but they were either located on the outskirts of cities or too small to stop at.

He plans to rest for two days first.

This time, he decided on a whim to create a grand spectacle. The towering waves and hurricane had consumed too much of his spiritual energy. Later, he wanted to test the power of explosions. He withstood the explosions of an aircraft carrier and a nuclear submarine, which further depleted his spiritual energy.

He figured his actions must have intimidated a lot of people, but what if he ran into a madman?

He planned to find a scenic spot to rest for a few days, and then return to Yatou Mountain once his spiritual power had recovered more.

He tried to lower his body, carrying the surrounding clouds and mist as he passed over the hills.

Seeing a stretch of green mountains in the distance, he quickened his pace slightly.

The air in the mountains is much fresher than that in the town.

Bai Lin lowered his body again and looked towards the center of the mountains.

He sensed a strong moisture in the air, and his intuition told him it was a good place to rest.

The mountains and forests are full of trees, lush and green, and the calls of birds and animals can be heard from time to time.

Bai Lin suddenly felt a throbbing sensation.

It was as if something was pulling at his heart.

This gave rise to a sense of fear in his heart.

His spirits, however, became inexplicably high.

Two instinctive emotions caused Bai Lin's eyes to narrow slightly.

He slowed down for a moment, then quickly sped up again.

When cultivators reach a certain level, they will develop an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

He realized that the throbbing came from instinct, while the excitement came from his own dragon body.

This made him uneasy, but also filled him with intense anticipation.

Could there be something extraordinary in this place?

After crossing the small hill in front of him, a stretch of clear water came into view.

This is a small lake hidden deep in the mountains and forests, with a mottled stone tablet standing next to it, inscribed with three characters.

Qinglong Lake.

Bai Lin stared intently at the lake in front of him.

His heart pounded like a drum, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

Dragon spirit!

He sensed the dragon's aura!

……

Chapter 69 Grandpa, there's a dragon!

Northern part of Nanzhao Province.

Nestled amidst mountains and dense forests lies a small, shimmering lake known as Qinglong Lake.

This place is located deep in the mountains, and the only way to get to the outside world is through a winding gravel road.

Even the national "Village-to-Village Road" project failed to build a road leading to this place.

The villages around Qinglong Lake have been mostly relocated, with most residents moving to towns outside the mountains.

Only a handful of households remain, all of them elderly people who cherish the old ways.

Liang Siyuan's grandfather was among them.

The old man is over seventy years old and in good health.

His children work away from home, and every time he goes out, he has to come back in less than a month.

He has a deep affection for this small village where he has lived for half his life.

Even though there are fewer and fewer old friends he can talk to, he still cherishes this place.

Liang Siyuan, however, was different.

He was fed up with this crappy place where even the internet signal was intermittent!

He was holding his phone, walking around the lake, trying to find a place with a better signal.

However, after wandering around for half a day, the original single bar of signal disappeared.

He was so angry he wanted to curse.

It's been three days!

He hasn't played games for three whole days!

For a teenager like him who is addicted to the internet, this is worse than death.

"Old Deng is too ruthless!"

Thinking that his father had sent him back under the pretext of accompanying his grandfather, he was initially delighted, thinking he could play games freely during the holiday. However, he later realized that he had been tricked by Old Deng!

This is clearly an attempt to help him break his internet addiction!

They're even more ruthless than Tencent, the dog that banned his account!

He sat helplessly on a large rock by the lake.

Seeing a large, sly-looking bluefish swimming towards the lake, only a few meters away from him, he pursed his lips slightly.

Grandpa had taught him many times not to go into the water to catch the bluefish that were near the shore, because they were all deadly water ghosts.

He scoffed at it, thinking it was just old people's rumors.

Just like the old saying that a vicious dragon is suppressed at the bottom of Qinglong Lake, and that the dragon's shadow can occasionally be seen during thunderstorms.

How could he believe such nonsense?

He simply has no interest in catching fish!

Seeing that the big blue carp kept shaking its head and wagging its tail while looking at him, Liang Siyuan felt annoyed and grabbed a stone and threw it at the carp.

The big blue carp missed, but instead splashed water all over him, making a muffled thud like a drumbeat.

Liang Siyuan was stunned for a moment.

A stone can make such a loud noise when it's smashed.

He quickly realized something was wrong.

The drum-like thumping sound did not disappear; instead, it continued one after another.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

A moment later, his pupils contracted, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

A lifelike white dragon suddenly appeared in his field of vision!

The gently swaying dragon tail, the shimmering scales in the sunlight, and the menacing horns all proved that this was no prank.

This is a real dragon!

Liang Siyuan felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly.

An unprecedented terror gripped his entire body, making his legs feel as heavy as lead, and he couldn't move his feet even though he wanted to escape.

In his terror, the white dragon in his field of vision suddenly took flight.

It was incredibly fast; a white blur flashed by and then vanished without a trace.

The "thump-thump" sound then disappeared.

Looking at the ripples spreading in the center of the lake, Liang Siyuan realized with a start that he was covered in a cold sweat.

His legs were weak, but he was finally able to move.

He quietly stood up, slowly moved back more than ten meters, and when he realized that Bai Long was not chasing him, he took off running.

As soon as he reached the village entrance, he shouted, "Grandpa, Grandpa, there's a dragon! There's a dragon!"

……

Bai Lin knew there were people on the shore, but he no longer cared about them.

He had tried every possible method, but had never sensed a trace of spiritual energy on Earth.

A few days ago, taking advantage of the opportunity to search for his younger brother, he would go out every night.

He visited famous mountains and rivers such as the Five Sacred Mountains and the legendary sites of immortals, but he never sensed any spiritual energy or traces of the dragon race.

This led him to believe that the path of cultivation on Earth had been severed.

But to his utter surprise, he actually sensed dragon energy in a small lake deep in an unknown mountain range!

Dragon energy is the foundation of the dragon race and the source of the rapid advancement in strength for cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm!

At this moment, Bai Lin was filled with excitement.

Like a thirsty traveler in the desert who sees an oasis, even knowing it might be a trap, he still wants to get closer.

He plunged into the lake, heading towards the source of the dragon's aura.

The lake is not deep; the bottom can be seen in less than 100 meters.

Amidst the layers of mud, Bai Lin spotted scattered specks of green light.

That bluish light was not visible to the naked eye, but rather captured by his divine sense.

He raised his two front paws and gently pushed forward.

Several whirlpools rose from the bottom of the water, and in an instant, silt flew up and spread outwards.

More and more green mangoes appeared, gradually coalescing together to form a complex pattern that looked like a garbled symbol.

Bai Lin's breathing became slightly rapid.

Others could not see the blue color, nor did they know the meaning of the pattern, but he knew what it was.

That's a seal formed by mottled spiritual energy!

This kind of seal is ancient and crude, and few cultivators study it anymore.

Bai Lin had seen it in his master's collection of books.

The old man had a collecting obsession, especially with all kinds of ancient books.

He initially found this sealing technique interesting and studied it for some time, only to be laughed at and scolded by the old man for neglecting his duties and liking old relics.

But an old antique appeared before him.

Bai Lin stared intently at the cyan pattern.

He could clearly sense that the wisp of dragon energy was emanating from beneath the seal.

This seal must have existed for a very long time, and its power has weakened, which is why the dragon energy inside was released.

What lies beneath the seal?

A dying dragon?

As he stared at the blue seal, the fervor in Bai Lin's eyes gradually faded.

He circled the seal, examining it carefully, and discovered that the dragon energy was indeed coming from below the seal.
