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

Reason told him that this couldn't be a trap.

Even if the dragon inside is still alive, it wouldn't emit dragon energy to lure people into a trap.

But what if?

After a moment's consideration, Bai Lin stepped back slightly, intending to be more cautious and first set up an array to prevent the dragon energy from dissipating.

……

Liang Siyuan had already taken his grandfather to a place not far from Qinglong Lake.

He had earlier run back to the village in a panic and told his grandfather that there was a dragon in the lake, but the old man scolded him for talking nonsense.

Wasn't it he who told him the legend of Qinglong Lake?

Why doesn't the old man believe it himself?

They even said that was just for kids!

He wanted to call the police, but his grandfather said he was being ridiculous.

What saddened him most was that, at the crucial moment, there was no signal again!

He wanted his grandfather to go to town with him, but the old man stubbornly suspected that he wanted to play games again.

The grandfather and grandson got heated, so he decided to steel himself and bring the old man to see for himself.

Of course, he didn't dare get too close, but instead led the old man up a hillside with a view of Qinglong Lake.

"Where is the dragon? Point it out to me!" Grandpa laughed.

He really enjoys having his grandson around, but the kid is too noisy and always complains about wanting to play video games.

What good can games be? They're electronic opium!

“Right there,” Liang Siyuan said, pointing to the spot where the white dragon had first appeared. “When I saw it, it suddenly darted into the water.”

"Hu..." Grandpa had just opened his mouth when he suddenly froze.

Chapter 70 Dragon

Nine whirlpools suddenly appeared in the center of the lake!

Both Liang Siyuan and his grandson could see a white phantom moving swiftly among the vortexes.

The two shut their mouths and stared wide-eyed.

A moment later, the vortex stopped spinning.

In the center of the lake, a nine-sided water curtain platform has emerged, which is significantly higher than the surrounding water surface.

Sunlight shone on the water platform, refracting a dazzling light.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Dragon!" Liang Siyuan mouthed.

Grandpa didn't dare to say anything, and with trembling hands, he quietly pulled his grandson back.

……

Bai Lin used spiritual power as the core and the power of water to set up this "water prison formation" before approaching the seal on the ground.

His claws pressed against the blue mark, and the light within it quickly dimmed.

He actively absorbed wisps of spiritual energy.

As the blue color faded, the surrounding water began to tremble gently.

With the support of the formation, this turmoil was relatively stable.

As the blue color faded, the flow of the water became more and more intense.

Looking from above, the nine-sided platform trembled violently as if it were boiling.

Bai Lin has been keeping a close eye on the situation.

This formation is called the Nine Waters Abyss Formation. Setting it up consumed nearly half of the spiritual power remaining in his body. It is enough to bind any Golden Core cultivator and can instantly kill any opponent weaker than him.

It is also known as the Water Prison Formation.

Let alone a cultivator, even an ant that enters cannot escape.

As long as the formation remains intact, it means that everything is under his control.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The blue mark is fading.

The surrounding water trembled, causing ripples to spread across the entire lake surface.

……

Liang Siyuan and his grandfather were already heading towards the nearest town.

There is no signal in the village today, and they can't even make a phone call to the police.

Just as they were halfway there, they suddenly felt the ground shake violently.

Both grandfather and grandson's expressions changed drastically. Liang Siyuan hurriedly ran away, almost pulling his grandfather down.

……

Bai Lin also felt like he was about to explode.

Too many, too many!

Dense dragon energy poured out everywhere, tightly bound by the water prison array, making the lake water dark and deep, as if dragons were swimming through it.

The white trees, one end facing the other, are arranged in a circle.

With its four claws outstretched, it frantically activated its cultivation technique, absorbing the surrounding dragon energy.

This was the first time he had come into contact with dragon energy since he transformed into a dragon.

The feeling, as if he were in the womb, made all the scales on his body unfold, and he felt his spiritual power increasing every second.

Although his body was about to burst, he was so excited that he almost cried out.

He greedily savored the wonderful feeling of his increased strength, and for a moment he was completely absorbed in it.

……

It was three days later when Bai Lin finished absorbing the last bit of spiritual energy.

His body had grown much larger, increasing from about ten meters to over twenty meters.

His cultivation, which had stagnated for half a year, finally showed signs of improvement, and he broke through to the second stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm in one fell swoop!

Feeling the surging spiritual power within his body, Bai Lin had an intuition that he could overturn Mount Tai with a single claw.

He looked around.

Despite the impact of the dragon's energy, the formation did not collapse; instead, it became even more stable.

The underwater seal has disappeared, revealing large areas of mud.

In the mud, a section of bone, as clear as jade, was exposed.

Bai Lin raised his paw and gently beckoned, revealing the bone that had been sealed away and hidden deep in the mud.

The bone is crystal clear and about twenty meters long.

Bai Lin recognized it as a dragon skeleton at a glance.

wrong!

He suddenly noticed that the number of bones on the "dragon bone" claw was incorrect.

He then looked at the location of the dragon's horns and found that there was no fork there.

This is a dragon!

Jiao is often referred to as Jiaolong.

It is fundamentally different from the real dragons.

The difference between the two is even greater than the difference between humans and gorillas.

Bai Lin remembered that there was a senior uncle in the Hualong Sect who raised a family of dragons. His master often begged him for food, and he himself had tasted them a few times.

The fish meat is tender, elastic, and tastes very good.

It is a snake that has been imbued with dragon energy or dragon blood.

Through cultivation, a dragon may also transform into a real dragon, but the difficulty is extremely high.

That senior master worked for over a thousand years, but still couldn't cultivate a single true dragon!

Bai Lin looked at the dragon skeleton in front of him and then searched the surroundings.

Apart from the skeleton and the earlier seal, he found nothing else of note.

This made him increasingly suspicious.

Judging from the skeleton and the seal, this event occurred at least several thousand years ago, but he had no way of knowing exactly how long ago.

Although the sealing technique was crude, it was enough to exhaust a dragon to death, indicating that the person who cast the spell was at least at the Golden Core stage.

But why didn't the person who sealed it just kill it?

Insufficient strength?

Or is there another reason?

Bai Lin pondered the matter deeply but could not find a solution.

When he first traveled back to Earth, he suspected that the mysteriously disappeared ancestor, Huanglong Daozun, had come to Earth like him and brought with him various legends about gods and dragons.

What he saw today gave him new doubts.

Could it be that a long time ago, a civilization that practiced cultivation existed on Earth?

It's very difficult for a dragon to appear on Earth, where spiritual energy has been depleted.

Moreover, given the patriarch's strength, this kind of dragon is like an earthworm in front of him, so there is absolutely no need to seal it here.

Or were there more than one or two people who traveled to Earth?

"Who did this? They didn't even bother to leave a stone tablet or something to record it," Bai Lin thought to himself.

Ultimately, he felt a sense of joy.

With this sealed dragon, there may be others as well.

The Earth is far more complex than he previously thought!

His long-stagnant improvement in strength and the prospect of further cultivation brought him great joy.

If it weren't for the fear of scaring the people outside, Bai Lin would have wanted to roar to the sky and show off his surprise.

After releasing his divine sense again to check the entire bottom of the lake and finding no other abnormalities, Bai Lin used the second transformation of the dragon's divine power [Concealment and Hiding Form] to shrink his body to about ten meters in length, returning to the same size as before, before preparing to leave.

He remained in a state of high spirits.

……

Lu Mengdi, however, was quite uneasy.

She felt that fate was playing a cruel joke on her.

She excelled in both academics and conduct during her school years, and was admitted to the most prestigious university in Daxia, ranking second in the entire district.

After starting university, she was often tired, and her eyesight got worse and worse.

She initially thought it was caused by staying up late to study, but later realized it was a precursor to uremia.

In the second semester of her sophomore year, she withdrew from the university.

Always proud and afraid of being laughed at, she deleted all contact information except for her family.

In the years that followed, the smell of disinfectant always filled her nostrils.

Her condition only gradually stabilized after her mother donated a kidney to her.

She was depressed and drifted along like a zombie, waiting for fate to finally bring her to an end.
