Chapter 120: The Imprisoned Primordial True Dragon
If Lin Xi didn't expose the secrets on his body at Caizheng Peak, Guang Ying could still use various methods to threaten him and seize the Dao lineage. But now that it's exposed, and all the elders and deputy sect masters have seen it, that's a different story altogether.
Lin Xi's Dao lineage has now been recognized by the sect. As one of the Dao lineages belonging to the Shen Xiao Sect, it is protected by the sect.
Brazenly robbing other disciples of their already possessed Dao lineage is strictly forbidden. If Long Bingyan dares to do so, she will undoubtedly face severe punishment from the sect.
"The deputy leader has strictly warned me, within three months, no one is allowed to make any moves on Lin Xi. Pass down the order. For now, no one is to touch Lin Xi, after three months, I'll take care of him!"
Long Bing's face turned cold and her voice was icy.
Li Wuji's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily replied, "Yes, Shifu!"
At the same time, within the inner sect of Shen Yi Zong, there were also undercurrents surging. When Lin Xi's body burst forth with a shocking dragon aura on Cai Jue Peak, it was truly too dazzling to ignore. Unless one was blind, basically no one wouldn't notice it.
"Another disciple with a lineage of Taoism! I didn't expect that among this batch of registered disciples, there would be such an outstanding figure!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a grand occasion. Even the deputy leader was startled. The Taoist lineage on Lin Xi's body is quite impressive, after all. However, I've never heard of it before."
"Tai Gu Zhen Long protects his body, this Taoist lineage, even if he looks at the entire Shen Xiao Sect, can be ranked. Long Bingyan is really good at picking opponents!"
"On the peak of Caide, countless dead disciples are beyond count. This is still the first time I've seen that there's actually a Guardian Elder who can't be killed. He's quite a character, if there's an opportunity in the future, I won't mind getting to know him."
"When the Dharma-protecting disciples escorted him out, it seemed as if he had emerged from Qinglian Sacred Peak. At that time, Qinglian Holy Maiden suddenly had a brilliant idea. Adding flowers to brocade is not bad, but it's still not as good as sending charcoal in snowy weather. This time, Qinglian Holy Maiden really took the lead!"
"Hurry up and investigate Lin Xi's background and origins."
Inside the Shinto shrine, many people turn over many thoughts and ideas. Each person has their own purpose.
And let's not mention some of the thoughts of the holy sons and daughters within the gates of Mount Shenong.
Among the mountain peaks where his named disciples resided, Lin Xi slept until the sky was dark, and only woke up when a knock on the door came for dinner.
"Brother, dinner is ready."
A miscellaneous disciple of the Shen Xiao Sect delivered dinner to Lin Xi's room. Unlike before, this time, there was a hint of admiration in the disciple's eyes, and some envy for Lin Xi's position as a protector elder in the Xian Dao world, which was lofty and unmatched. Not everyone could be like Lin Xi, scolding the Protector Elder to his face. More people would beg bitterly when faced with death.
The outer disciples on this mountain peak have already spread the news. Lin Xi will soon rise to fame.
"Thank you."
Lin Xi sat up from the bed and said.
"Master Chen..."
Unlike before, this disciple did not leave immediately: "If you enter the inner gate in the future, can you...". He pulled his master's sleeve.
The disciple hesitated and finally said these words.
Lin Xi suddenly said: "Who told you?"
"Now everyone is saying that you have a great future ahead of you and will probably enter the inner circle."
The disciple said.
Lin Xi shook his head: "Those are all rumors, I just passed the formal disciple assessment. At most, it's just moving to a slightly inner mountain peak and becoming a formal disciple."
However, it's only a matter of time before Shixiong enters the inner sect.
The disciple shook his head and said.
Lin Xi nodded silently in her heart, but still replied: "If that day really comes, I will."
"Thank you, senior brother."
The disciple who delivered the meal was overjoyed, bowed once and finally left.
Lin Xi felt a lot better after being beaten by this disciple.
At this time, the sky was already late and there were no people around. Lin Xi also had no appetite for dinner, and with a sudden movement in his heart, he immediately sat down cross-legged.
"Look at the changes in the Wanhuangtu."
Camilla's encounter had a great impact on Lin He. After returning from the Judgment Peak, Lin He was still in a daze and hadn't even had time to check his internal situation. However, Lin He understood that being able to escape unscathed at the Judgment Peak and startling all the elders and deputy masters was entirely due to the power of the Wan Huang Tu.
Lin Xi broke through to the first level of Lian Qi, and at that time, he already felt that the Wan Huang Tu had changed. However, at that time, he was still immersed in the joy of breaking through the boundary, and hadn't had a chance to check on the situation with the Wan Huang Tu, when the Guardian Elder sent his disciple to Qing Lian Sheng Feng.
It can be said that Long Bingyan's attack came extremely swiftly. Lin Xi had just returned from the Black Dragon Space when she suddenly moved the Guardian Elder and launched a thunderous strike at him. He didn't even have time to react!
Lin Xi deeply felt that this Holy Maiden of the Long Family was ruthless and merciless, with a decisive and intimidating side!
"Long Bingyan, you will regret this sooner or later!"
A cold glint flashed in Lin Xi's eyes, then he closed them.
After reaching the Refining Qi realm, one would possess the ability of inner sight. Lin Xi easily found the Wan Huang Tu in his mind.
Different from what Lin Xi had seen before, after Lin Xi reached the Refining Qi realm. This mysterious Wanhuangtu indeed changed. In the center of the painting, that nine-clawed golden dragon coiled on the golden mountain peak, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The original golden peak also faded, turning into a deep black color. Moreover, it shrunk in size by more than a hundred times, becoming only slightly larger than a fingernail. On the other hand, the swirling temporal aura on the painting suddenly enlarged and emitted an intense temporal energy.
When Lin Xi's gaze concentrated on the center of these time-space halos, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart fiercely throbbed once.
"Open Sesame!"
Lin Xi was shocked. On the Wan Huang Tu, amidst countless blurry shadows and spatial glows at its center, a magnificent golden arched gate suddenly appeared. The gate had numerous golden symbols on it, mysterious, sacred, and noble, as if they were the most revered existence in the universe.
At this moment, the arched doorway has slightly opened a crack, inside is profound and endless, emitting an intense aura of time and space, as if leading to another mysterious world.
Lin Xi was not unfamiliar with the aura of "Time and Space Gate". The light gate displayed on the Wanhuangtu, grand and majestic, sacred and noble, was a thousand times more powerful than Lin Xi's "Black Dragon Gate"!
In the "Immortal Path to the Grand World", it was mentioned that the "Gate of Time and Space" is a collection of yuanqi from another dimension X plane, which is refined through sacrifice. After successful refinement, it often presents in the form of an archway, just like the "Black Dragon Gate", which has shape and substance.
The gate in front of him was like a painting on a canvas. This "space-time gate" completely transcended Lin Xi's understanding, even the "Xian Dao Da Shi Jie" didn't mention this kind of space-time gate!
In Lin Xi's mind, countless thoughts flashed by. Immediately, a surge of spiritual energy, along the connection of the Wan Huang Tu, poured into the "Gate of Time and Space" on the Wan Huang Tu.
Boom!
As if the universe was in chaos, heaven and earth were split apart for the first time. In Lin Xi's mind, a loud shockwave sounded, followed by an endless golden light rushing towards him. The feeling of crossing through the space-time gate spread throughout his body once again. However, this time, his consciousness lingered at the space-time gate, making the duration of the crossing feel exceptionally long. It was as if he was wandering alone for billions of light-years.
Just when I felt like I couldn't take it anymore, suddenly there was a loud crash in front of me, like a door opening, and a scene unfolded before my eyes.
"Dragon!!"
Lin Xi's heart shook violently for a moment. The instant his consciousness passed through the space-time gate, the first thing he saw was a giant dragon. A golden dragon with nine claws, shining brightly like a fierce prison.
It lay on the ground, its massive body like a mountain range, with no end in sight.
In front of it, Lin Xi felt as small as an ant. He was not even as big as one of the giant dragon's eyeballs. Anyone in front of this giant dragon would feel tiny and insignificant!
"It was actually it that saved my life!"
Lin Xi murmured to herself, feeling a strong shock in her heart.
He finally knew that the shocking dragon energy that burst out of his body on the peak of the trial was from where! However, the dragon energy on the peak of the trial, although powerful, compared to this true giant dragon in front of him, was like a grain of sand in the ocean, tiny and insignificant.
This was not an illusion formed by true energy, but a real, living and breathing giant dragon. Lin Xi could feel that within its flesh and blood, there was power enough to destroy a world.
This giant dragon is incredibly powerful! If it can be refined, killing a Guardian Elder would be effortless!
However, for some unknown reason, this giant dragon's body was pierced by a purple chain as thick as a water bucket. These thick and large purple chains, numbering in the tens of thousands, had one end connected to the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon's body, while the other end was connected to the endless void.
The nine-clawed golden dragon's horns were towering, its eyes were wide open in anger, as if staring at Lin Xi. However, its massive body was motionless, as if it had turned into a sculpture.
Under the giant dragon's feet, there was a vast and profound space, filled with a pervasive golden light. Lin Xi could feel that it was a massive world. However, the time-space fog was thick and layered, and Lin Xi could only see one corner of this world, just like he could only see one corner of this gigantic and real nine-clawed golden dragon.
"Unbelievable! The Wanhuangtu actually contains a world within it, this is truly inconceivable!"
Lin Xi felt a tremendous shock. He felt that behind the space-time gate, there seemed to be many more secrets hidden, and it was not just as simple as this nine-clawed golden dragon.
However, limited by his strength, he is still unable to uncover the secrets behind it.
A wave of mental fatigue came from the depths of his mind. Lin Xi felt that exploring the world inside the "Gate of Time and Space" with his own strength was still too strenuous. Although he was reluctant, in the end, he retreated.
