Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1356 - 588: Candle Dragon Divine Lake (2)

In the Supreme Origin Realm, Lin Xuankong had never seen such a gigantic creature before!

What shook his heart the most was this five-clawed dragon, covered in ink-black scales, which seemed to be in slumber at the moment!

This situation, at the very least, suggested that this five-clawed dragon with ink-black scales, which his Divine Soul sensed, could maintain its mighty form at will, and effortlessly withstand the enormous pressure of the Upper Realm Primordial Qi and the heavy rules of the world!

A ten-thousand-zhang-long dragon in the Supreme Origin Realm... What kind of realm is this creature?

The Minor Success Realm is absolutely impossible; even if forced to its death, the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon could not transform its demon body to ten thousand zhang, at most only twenty or thirty zhang! A late-stage Minor Success Celestial Demon, Celestial Immortal, or Celestial Fiend could also never achieve this! Even a Celestial Demon, Celestial Immortal, or Celestial Buddha in the Great Success Realm, whose strength might be tens of times that of a Minor Success Celestial Demon Immortal, could perhaps reach only a hundred or a few hundred zhang at best!

Is this a creature stronger than a Celestial Demon, Celestial Immortal, and Celestial Buddha in the Great Success Realm?

A Venerable Realm Celestial Giant Dragon?

Damn it! How could I be so unfortunate!

Just after escaping from the group-dwelling Red Water Demon City and the territory of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race, I ended up right next to a creature even stronger and more terrifying than a Great Success Celestial Demon. The problem is, this seems to be this powerful creature’s habitat!

As Lin Xuankong’s heart wavered, he decisively withdrew his Divine Soul, which was probing towards the lake!

What made Lin Xuankong’s hair stand on end was that at the very instant he retracted his Divine Soul probe, he suddenly noticed that the giant five-clawed dragon with ink-black scales at the lake’s bottom abruptly opened its huge eyes...

Although in the ten thousand years of cultivation in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, for the most part, Lin Xuankong had never been attacked or opposed by the Demon Race, during the early stage of his cultivation in the Great Marsh Prefecture of the Great Xia Dynasty, he had witnessed demons devouring people more than once! Only because the Profound Yin Demon Race was too cruel did human and demon cultivators later unite to resist them! Therefore, Lin Xuankong always remained wary of this alliance with the Demon Race, especially now in the Supreme Origin Realm, where his strength counted as weak compared to other powerful beings!

In such a situation, how could Lin Xuankong not be wary of the five-clawed giant dragon he just detected!

In the first moment after withdrawing his Divine Soul, Lin Xuankong immediately activated the Supreme Primordial Qi within his body, ready to use the retirement talent from his Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate to instantly leave this lake!

At that moment,

Lin Xuankong suddenly discovered that all the scenery and space before him shook slightly. A formless and powerful wave acted directly upon him, carrying an indescribable power that caused his already activated Supreme Primordial Qi to stagnate!

This power was somewhat similar to the Qilin True Words from the Qilin Race in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, except the Qilin True Words in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm could only seal the Immortal Yuan inside an opponent’s Immortal Body. In contrast, this indescribable power even sealed the Supreme Primordial Qi inside Lin Xuankong’s Immortal Body, temporarily preventing its activation!

Immediately following,

The massive lake unexpectedly split in two without wind, revealing a passage in the middle!

With both his Immortal Body and Immortal Yuan unable to activate, Lin Xuankong looked towards the giant lake now divided in half. The five-clawed giant dragon previously coiled at the lake’s bottom had vanished, and a woman in deep green robes floated through the passage formed by the lake water, landing in front of Lin Xuankong!

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with a graceful, alluring figure. Her deep green robes fluttered slightly, appearing untouched by the earthly world, as if she was only sixteen years old.

Of course, Lin Xuankong would never believe the woman in front of him was truly sweet sixteen; forget about the creatures in the Supreme Origin Realm, even female Earth Immortals in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, who are tens of thousands of years old with decent cultivation, look just as youthful!

Especially since the five-clawed giant dragon in the lake had vanished, and in front of him now stood a woman in deep green robes... Even with a sluggish mind, Lin Xuankong could infer that the woman before him was likely transformed from the five-clawed dragon!

After the deep green-robed woman landed beside Lin Xuankong, she coldly glanced at the immobilized Lin Xuankong and then spoke in a frosty tone:

"Judging by your realm, you are only Initial Tier Perfection! Such an Initial Tier Celestial Immortal Realm, never mind evading the Inner Guards around Candle Dragon Divine Lake, could not even pass through the defense of the Guards surrounding Candle Dragon Mountain!

The only cultivators able to evade the late-stage Minor Success Guards surrounding Candle Dragon Mountain are those in the Early Stage of Great Success Realm or higher. Only those in the Late Stage of Great Success or Great Success Perfection could evade the Inner Guards around Candle Dragon Divine Lake!

So, how did a mere Initial Tier Celestial Immortal like you manage to evade those Guards and Inner Guards to come here and spy on the Candle Dragon Race’s most precious divine lake water?"

Spy on the Candle Dragon Divine Lake water?

Lin Xuankong looked at the azure lake water with some surprise. When he was probing the water just now, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual about it! However, if the water could be called precious by someone possibly in the Venerable Realm, it clearly wasn’t ordinary!

In his surprise, he suddenly felt that while his Supreme Primordial Qi was still stagnated, his head could move, clearly indicating that the woman in deep green robes had released some of the restraints on him to allow him to speak.

But how could Lin Xuankong easily reveal the mystical talents within his Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate to this woman, whom he saw for the first time and whose intentions were unclear!

"Not speaking?"

Noticing Lin Xuankong’s silence, the woman in deep green robes frowned and glared at him, saying in a stern voice:

"Though the cultivators of our Candle Dragon Race are not as treacherously insidious and destructive as those of the Eight Celestial Demon Races, who love to soul search and damage the cultivation foundations of other races, we have countless methods to make a sneak like you talk!"

Lin Xuankong felt a sinking in his heart upon hearing such words from this likely Venerable level female cultivator,

While the oppressive feeling from a Venerable cultivator was not as despair-inducing as the annihilative power of a Saint Monarch level powerhouse, Lin Xuankong was sure that directly opposing the woman before him would not be a wise choice!

Thinking quickly, Lin Xuankong steeled his heart and spoke:

"Junior was unaware that this is the Candle Dragon Divine Lake of the Candle Dragon Race and did not intend to intrude here, nor intentionally disturb Senior’s cultivation. It was only after encountering a Minor Success Celestial Demon of the Celestial Demon Race, using my sect’s secret escape technique in desperation, that I escaped from the Minor Success Celestial Demon of the Thousand Illusion Race! As for why I ended up here, it is due to my inexperience with the sect’s secret escape technique; I stumbled here by chance and inadvertently avoided stirring the powerful Guards and Inner Guards of the Candle Dragon Race!

The Human Race and the Candle Dragon Race have always had good relations. As a Human Race cultivator with such low cultivation, I would never dare to spy on Senior’s divine lake water!

Now that the mistake has been made, Junior not only disturbed Senior’s cultivation but also intruded upon the secret land of the Candle Dragon Race. Whatever punishment Senior deems fit, Junior is willing to accept!"

After saying this, Lin Xuankong felt a slight anxiety in his heart and looked up at the woman in the deep green robe in front of him.

The reason he spoke this way was that after considering the woman’s words, Lin Xuankong realized that while she looked cold, she was by no means like the cultivators of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race, who regarded Human Race cultivators as food and artifact refining materials! The most crucial point was that if it were a strong one from the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race, they wouldn’t have bothered to ask questions; they would most likely have seized him immediately for a soul search!

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuankong wisely lowered his posture and implicitly indicated that not only did he come here completely by accident, but that the escape technique involved a secret sect technique that he couldn’t easily share with others... Yet whether the woman in the deep green robes in front of him would accept this explanation or continue to press him for answers was unknown to Lin Xuankong!
