Chapter 857: Chapter 814: Attempting to Subdue the True Dragon Regarding the existence of the True Dragon, Wen Ping did not rashly probe with spiritual power.
Firstly, he didn’t want to suddenly awaken it, thereby adding trouble for himself; secondly, he was uncertain about the strength of this True Dragon, and if awakening it led to conflict and he couldn’t win, it would be quite embarrassing.
While maintaining caution, a bolder idea emerged in Wen Ping’s mind.
Could the True Dragon be used to guard the sect?
Wouldn’t it be even more majestic than a Flood Dragon?
Subduing a True Dragon would certainly be far more challenging than subduing the Demon Race, perhaps even akin to the difficulty of ascending to the heavens. Yet, Wen Ping couldn’t shake off this bold and wild idea. Who wouldn’t want to keep a real dragon?
Across the mountains and rivers, Wen Ping looked down below and murmured, "This is definitely the most precious thing in the Red Leaf Sect."
If not taken away, it would indeed be a pity.
Not taking it would be akin to losing!
"System, show me..."
With that said, the simplified information about the Wood Dragon popped up.
Wood Dragon [Ancient Species]
Race: Mountain and River Dragon Race
Gender: Male
Power: Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm (Currently deteriorating...)
...
"Just like Big Bloke and Little Bloke, they’re all from the previous era. It seems they haven’t received nourishment for a long time, causing their realm to continuously decline."
Seeing the power of the Wood Dragon, Wen Ping was somewhat surprised.
Because previously in the Heaven and Earth Lake Secret Realm, the Palace Guard he saw was lucky enough to survive from the previous era to this one, crossing such a lengthy time, yet its persistent strength decline left it with only the strength of the Profound Realm.
In this world, the Profound Realm can only be said to have just set foot on the road of cultivation.
It’s nothing worth mentioning!
No need to delve deeply into how extensive the span between the two eras truly is.
But this Wood Dragon, after such a long period, still possesses the power of the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm, which is truly terrifying upon reflection.
How powerful was the Wood Dragon in the previous era?
It definitely exceeded the Celestial Unrestricted Realm, right?
Possibly even higher!
Wen Ping slightly furrowed his brows and softly said, "This way, it adds quite a bit of difficulty. Dragons are already proud enough, subduing them isn’t a simple task, especially with their previous incomprehensible powers."
An old saying goes, the stronger one is, the prouder one becomes!
Can the Wood Dragon’s haughty nature allow it to bow its head?
After careful contemplation, Wen Ping’s vast spiritual power transformed into a huge wave, pressing down on the Wood Dragon below the mountains and rivers. When the spiritual power traversed through grass, wood, and stones, it crashed upon the thick dragon scales, unable to advance further.
Until now, nothing had ever been able to block the penetration of his spiritual power.
But today, the Wood Dragon’s scales stopped it.
"Its skin is truly thick!"
Wen Ping chuckled lightly, growing more anticipative about awakening the Wood Dragon.
The second wave of spiritual power swept overwhelmingly over, striking the thick cyan scales.
Followed by the third wave.
The fourth wave.
The fifth wave.
By this point, the mountains shook, and the earth trembled.
Rocks fell like shedding dead skin before rolling down precipitously.
Even the hefty earth cracked deeply, as if scorched by the blazing sun for centuries.
With the tremor of the mountains and earth, the surging cyan Dragon Qi streamed out from the crevices, rushing towards Wen Ping.
"Such ancient Dragon Qi."
Wen Ping felt the Dragon Qi brushing against him and made a simple comparison with Golden Dragon Ao Li, who guarded the Nuwa Divine Statue at Demon Emperor Lake.
The Dragon Qi of the Golden Dragon was purer, more domineering.
The Dragon Qi of the Wood Dragon was more ancient, more gentle.
In the next moment, the deafening dragon roar echoed across the sky, reverberating through the clouds, prompting Zhantian Ye and the three others ten miles away to pause in shock.
All three were puzzled about what had happened.
Accompanied by the dragon roar, the immense and endlessly stretching cyan dragon body gradually emerged over the earth. First was the dragon tail covered by thousands of cyan vines, then the dragon body covered in dark green scales, and finally the glaring dragon head.
The Cyan Dragon emerged, soaring into the sky.
