<h4>Chapter 2080: The Dragon Temple</h4>
Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat as he entered the temple, his eyesnding on a dozen powerful cultivators spontaneously.
Just by sensing the ancient rhyme exuding from these people, Zhang Ruochen knew they must be the Re-Awakeners, just like Saint King Zixin.
ording to Saint King Zixin, Re-Awakeners like them were supposed to stay away. So what were they doing by gathering here?
“The purpose of me asking you here is that I hope you can secretly send these elders here to True Dragon Ind after the forbidden array on True Dragon Ind is breached. The ind is so special that even the divine spirits of the Infernal Court could infiltrate and get to know the situation on the ind.” Ao Xinyan seemed to have read the questions on Zhang Ruochen’s mind.
“Captain, you are the master of time and space. With your unfathomably powerful abilities and the Destiny Corpse Emperor’s, Patriarch Dead Zen’s, and my help, I believe we can evade the detection of the Infernal Court immortals.”
There was a pause before Ao Xinyan continued. “Of course, True Dragon Ind’s forbidden array is powerful. With the intertwining inscriptions, it had impregnable defense and overwhelmingly powerful attack capability—so much so that it could easily kill a Supreme saint cultivator. So as strong as the Infernal Court army is, invading the ind is not going to be easy. The Infernal Court would likely suffer huge casualties before it could even set foot on True Dragon Ind.”
“It’s just that many things are unpredictable. We must be prepared for the worst, just in case. Once the forbidden array on True Dragon Ind is breached, we have to be on the ind to stop the Infernal Court army. We must not let them seed.”
Zhang Ruochen suddenly put two and two together—this was what Ao Xinyan wanted him to help.
These Re-Awakeners were strong, as all of them were the top-level non-Supreme saint cultivators. Unfortunately, their number was too small, just a fraction of the number of the Infernal Court army. Even if they chose to strike outside the ind regardless of the risk of exposure, they would not stand a chance.
Only bynding and lying in wait on True Dragon Ind could they slow down the Infernal Court army.
Especially when the enemy was in the open while they were in the dark. This was undoubtedly an immense advantage for them.
As he was deep in thought, Ao Xinyan’s voice spoke into his mind. “They are the first batch of Re-Awakeners. Master deliberately arranged for them to assist me and guard the Yin-Yang Sea. Unfortunately, we can’t wake the other people up from their hibernation. Otherwise, the situation would not have be so critical.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. No wonder there were few Re-Awakeners here. At first, he thought Ao Xinyan was deliberately concealing her strength. He did not know that they were all the Re-Awakeners avable at this time.
Apparently, this was a secret of the Yin Yang Sea, and Ao Xinyan told him this through telepathy because she trusted him.
“Time a-wasting! Let’s go,” said Zhang Ruochen with a serious look as he collected his thoughts.
With the move of her hand, Ao Xinyan activated the hidden inscriptions inside the Pce of Silver Dragons. “Here is a special dimensional teleportation array that can teleport us to anywhere in the Yin Yang Sea. Please get ready.”
Everyone in the temple stood up and gathered around Ao Xinyan.
Those Re-Awakeners shot an apathetic nce at Zhang Ruochen, saying nothing. There was a proud look in their eyes.
They were proud, and rightly so because they were the top dogs in ancient times.
The dimensional teleportation array started. A white light shed in the temple, and everyone vanished.
ck fog was floating over the sea off True Dragon Ind as a secret dimensional tunnel formed. Zhang Ruochen and everyone else were standing inside.
This was the power of the Pce of Silver Dragons’ teleportation array that concealed them. No one would discover them as long as they stay inside this dimensional tunnel.
“It’s a strong lineup. Those standing on the seven warships are all Saint Kings. What the hell does the Infernal Court want to do?” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes shed with light.
“The Key to the World Gate is stored in the Dragon Temple on True Dragon Ind, and the Dragon Temple is the temple of the Divine Dragons. In the heyday of the Divine Dragons, tens of millions of dragons and living beings came here to learn and for pilgrimage. This temple was one of the top three temples in the entire Kunlun Realm. The onlyparable forces were the Heaven’s Pass Temple of Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribtions, and the Jiuli Temple of the Jiuli n. It’s a pity that the Dragon Temple was destroyed during the battle at the end of ancient times. There are still various sacred destructive forces lingering around. It is a forbidden ruin. But it is in such a forbidden ruin that holds the treasures of hundreds of millions of years of the Divine Dragons. This is exactly the target of the Infernal Court army. They will invade the ruins and plunder the remaining treasures that haven’t been taken away at the end of ancient times. They are a bunch of robbers, insatiable demons. Had I been born one hundred thousand years ago100,000 years ago, I would have fought to thest drop of my blood to defend the temple,” said Ao Xinyan.
There were treasures on Golden Dragon Ind and Silver Dragon Ind, too, but they were nowhere near that on True Dragon Ind.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat. 100,000 years ago, there were many powerful beings among the Divine Dragons, not to mention the formidable beings like Dragon Lord Jiwang. He could not believe that the Dragon Temple that the Divine Dragons were most proud of had been destroyed.
It was an absolutely brutal battle. But even if one-tenth of the treasures in the Dragon Temple remained, the Kunlun Realm could train a massive number of cultivators in a short time.
In any case, those treasures must not be taken away by the Infernal Court.
The destruction of the Dragon Temple was a humiliation for the Divine Dragons and the Kunlun Realm. If they could not even guard the treasures in the temple, it would not just be shameful, but also a p in the face.
Zhang Ruochen looked around and then fixed his gaze on one of the battleships.
Standing on the bow was a powerful being from the Bone n. He was ten-yard tall, each of his bones was extremely strong, dark gold with mysterious inscriptions on the surface. He had a powerful aura.
This powerful Bone n cultivator held an Exquisite Dimensional Orb, which was inconspicuous, with many shadows of dragons flying in it.
All the captured dragons from Mount Zulong were being held inside this Exquisite Dimensional Orb.
When the change between day and night came, this Bone n cultivator would sacrifice all these dragons in a blood sacrifice to break the forbidden array off True Dragon Ind.
“We have got to think of a way to rescue all the Mount Zulong’s Dragons,” said Zhang Ruochen in a low voice.
“Zhang Ruochen, don’t act recklessly. It is the Spirit-ying Emperor, one of the three emperors of the Bone n, who controls the Exquisite Dimensional Orb. He is bloodthirsty. Don’t mess with him,” warned Saint King Zixin.
“Captain, I want to save Mount Zulong’s Dragons, too. But this is not the right time. Don’t put yourself in danger.” Ao Xinyan also tried to dissuade him.
Zhang Ruochen said nothing, but just looked at the empty sea.
For some reason, he had a gut feeling that something was not right on this sea.
“ckie, use your Supreme Saint’s Eye to look in that direction,” said Zhang Ruochen spontaneously.
ckie did not know what Zhang Ruochen wanted to do, but it still did as told, using Supreme Saint’s Eye to scan the part of the sea that Zhang Ruochen pointed to.
There was a strange look in ckie’s eyes. “Huh? There really is something in this sea area. It is such a subtle illusion technique that can even deceive Supreme Saint’s Eye. I can’t see exactly what and who is hiding here.”
Others cast their eyes on the sea, but they could see nothing.
“It seems that we have anotherpanying for the Key to the World Gate. It is not a bad thing, though.” The corner of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth curled up.
“We don’t have enough men to sh head-on with the Infernal Court army. If there are other forcesing to rock the boat, it will work in favor of us,” said the Destiny Corpse Emperor.
“We might use them to rescue those Dragons of Mount Zulong.” A light shed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.
“How?” asked Ao Xinyan in puzzlement.
“You will know soon.” Zhang Ruochen let out a mysterious smile.
Before Ao Xinyan and others could say anything, he took one step forward and vanished.
“What an impressive stealth technique—he can blend in with the sea! It seems that he has cultivated his Five-Element Chaotic Body to its pinnacle,” said Destiny Corpse Emperor in astonishment.
The Yin Yang Sea was inherently strange. As long as Zhang Ruochen remained stealthy in the sea without exposing his aura, no one would know his presence, even if he was in close range.
Of course, the seven battleships of the Infernal Court were not ordinary ships. They were extremely capable of detecting foreign objects or beings that came near. Anything that came too close to them would be invariably exposed.
Zhang Ruochen concealed his aura as best as he could as he let himself drift with the waves, and quickly approached the battleship on which the Bone n cultivator with an Exquisite Dimensional Orb was standing.
Zhang Ruochen secretly mobilized the Precepts of Dimension, releasing an invisible dimensional power toward the sea area shrouded by illusion.
This dimensional power was extremely weak. Whenbined with the sea, it would be undetectable.
But Zhang Ruochen had missed out on someone.
“Huh?”
In the far distance, on the battleship hidden in the illusion, the eyes of Maiden of a Thousand Stars glowed. Her Divine Eye of Origin had spotted a figure on the sea.
