Chapter 536: The Mysterious Qing Zhi (1/2)
Above the vast electric sea, the black clouds were rolling over and over while numerous thunderbolts rained down from the clouds, covering the heaven and earth in the process. Rumbling thunders were extending downward from the sky till the horizon.
Somewhere on the electric sea, the atmosphere seemed to freeze momentarily. Two astonish-filled gazes were focused suspiciously on figure sitting on the head of the Green Dragon. For a moment, their brains seemed to be somewhat blurry.
Qing Zhi did not speak further. Instead, he lowered his head and smiled gently while looking in the direction of Lin Dong and Little Marten.
Under his gaze, Lin Dong finally returned to his senses. A complicated look was on his face as he stared at Qing Zhi. He then muttered, “How can it be….”
It was indeed impossible. Qing Zhi was definitely someone from the ancient times. No one knew how long had he been alive. In fact, not even the bones of the practitioners from that timeline would have remained till today. How could it be possible that someone from that time would still be alive?
“It’s impossible for ordinary individuals to live so long. However, it’s a different story for those super-practitioners that have transcended beyond life and death….” Little Marten slowly explained as it finally came to its senses.
“However, that kind of level is considered extremely rare even in the ancient times….”
“Transcended beyond life and death.” Lin Dong shuddered at this thought. That idea of such level was completely foreign to him. Could the black-eyed old man whom he met previously at the Great Wastelands Ancient Tablet, be of such level when he was at his peak?
It seemed that this Green Dragon Qing Zhi was indeed mysterious.
“According to what I know of, there was a calamity in the heaven and earth during the ancient times. During that period, many elite practitioners died….” Little Marten sighed deeply.
“A calamity?” Lin Dong was startled. For some reasons, he suddenly remembered a vision of the ancient times from one of the body remains in the Great Wastelands Ancient Tablet. Those dark and evil unknown entities and even the black-eyed old man, who possessed the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, were difficult to deal with.
Could it be that there was some connection between these two events?
“Haha, it seems that the Celestial Demon Marten tribe’s inherited memories are not completely shattered, you still remember the ancient calamity….” Qing Zhi chuckled at this moment. However, Lin Dong discovered that this mysterious individual’s eyes were somewhat solemn when the word ‘calamity’ was mentioned. Clearly, the calamity seemed to be an unforgettable event for him.
“During that time, it was due to pure luck that I am able to survive. Haha. Of course, my powers at that time were not considered top-notch in the heavens. It’s only after that period of time that I am able to achieve some accomplishments. If not, I’m afraid it will not be that easy to survive through that calamity.”
Qing Zhi laughed plainly. Then, he came back from reminiscing the memories of the ancient times and stared at Lin Dong and said, “You’re quite ambitious to want my inheritance. However, I hope that you have the required talent to complement your ambition.”
Lin Dong’s eyes slightly froze. Without saying anything else, he cupped his hands together towards Qing Zhi.
Upon seeing this, Qing Zhi raised his eyebrows. Then, he slipped out his palms from his green robe. A lustrous green glow was spiralling around his fingers.
“Tcch!”
Qing Zhi pointed his finger outward before a beam of green light poured out boundlessly and formed a mini-sized Green Dragon in the mid-air. The scales on the Green Dragon was sparkling. Through that display of might, even Lin Dong could feel an aura of danger.
“The inheritance that I’m about to give you is contained within it. Whether you can obtain it or not, shall depend on your own abilities!”
Qing Zhi stood up from his Green Dragon’s head and waved the sleeves of his robe lightly. Immediately, the mini Green Dragon roared towards the sky. As it roared, the black clouds in the sky began to churn and roll frantically while numerous lightnings bolts began to fall from the sky repeatedly.
Boom!
The entire sky was filled with thunderbolts and the scales on the body of the mini Green Dragon became increasingly dazzling. At that moment, with a swipe of its dragon tail, the thunderbolts in the sky exploded.
As the thunderbolts exploded, the Green Dragon transformed into a beam of green light. Accompanied with a destructive shock wave, it blasted towards Lin Dong with a lightning speed.
Before the green light even reached the surface of the sea, a huge indentation that was a few hundred feet deep was already being created on the electric sea, where Lin Dong was standing on.
The green light was imprinted on Lin Dong’s eye pupils. His face was becoming increasingly solemn as well. He could sense the terrifying energy that the beam of green light contained, If he was to be hit by it, even if he had a resolute will to live, he would die on the spot! However, at this point time, it was clearly not possible to retreat. If he wanted the inheritance, he must obtain Qing Zhi’s recognition. Apparently, this incoming attack was Qing Zhi’s test.
If he could not withstand the beam of green light, he could only obediently accept the Green Dragon Hall’s inheritance. Given Qing Zhi’s haughtiness, he would not be satisfied to give his inheritance to a mediocre individual.
At this moment, surging Yuan Power, Mental Energy and Devouring Power were all activated and channeled frantically by Lin Dong into the Ancient Universe Formation about his Dantian.
