Chapter 3058 Cultivating All The Way
"Okay."
Hearing this, Skr got excited.
He knew that since the leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect had asked him to go with him to join the
Martial Arts Contest, it meant that the sect leader had a high regard for him and valued him.
Although the Xu n in the southwest of Brilliant Kingdom was known far and wide for its excellence in
martial arts,pared with the Heavenly Mountain Sect, it was much inferior when it came to strength
and status.
Now, the Xu n had the Heavenly Mountain Sect on their side. With their help, there was no doubt
that the status of the Xu n would be elevated.
In addition to two elders, the leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect had also personally sent out a
group of disciples to help Skr.
Together with the main forces of Xu n, they headed towards the Hume Province.
At this moment, Austin was sitting cross-legged in a cave deep below the surface of the earth, facing a
huge dragon head which was in a translucent state.
Just a few days earlier, Austin had learned and mastered the Earth Exploring Technique from the
mountain god he identally met. To further enhance his skill in this area, he had read a lot of ancient
books about geomancy. With this newly added skill, Austin had made a great leap in the cultivation of
Earth Exploring Technique.
About four dayster.
As Austin was sitting cross-legged while cultivating, he suddenly opened his eyes and quickly made a
strange gesture with his hands.
"Go!"
Austin murmured.
Immediately, streaks of yellow figures rushed out of Austin''s palms and flew towards the huge dragon
head.
While it appeared from afar as if he was going to attack the dragon, he was actuallymunicating

with it.
Not long after, the earth dragon responded, and the huge dragon head began to shake slightly.
It wasn''t only the dragon that began to shake but also the whole underground world where the dragon''s
actual body was kept hidden.
From a distance, the surrounding hills and mountains, as well as the houses on the nearby ins
began to shake vigorously. Loose rocks had started rolling off the cliffs and hilltops. A few houses had
their foundations reduced to loose beds of pulverized rock.
Besides, the shock was getting more and more violent.
"What''s going on?" People were in a panic and did not know what was going on. Nor did they know
where to run or what to do during and after.
"It''s an earthquake! It''s a fucking earthquake! Run for your lives! Get out of the office right now!"
As the people felt the massive and earth-shattering vibrations, they were so frightened that everyone
rushed out of buildings as fast as their feet could carry them.
Back in the underground world, Austin still sat cross-legged, his hands swiftly making gestures non-
stop, releasing yellow signs in a steady stream.
About half a dayter.
With a shout, Austin stood up and made thest gesture.
After thest yellow sign was integrated into the body of the earth dragon, it had calmed down and no
longer created a ruckus.
At the same time on the surface of the Earth, the mountains and the surrounding area also stopped
shaking.
"It''s over! The earthquake stopped!
Though itsted long, the magnitude of the earthquake was quite within the lower registers."
"Whew! It finally stopped. Luckily, we are all safe. I thought we were all going to die!"
"That was weird. I never thought that in my lifetime, I was going to experience it here. This region
doesn''t lie along the earthquake belt. In history, there is barely any record of an earthquake, at least
none that I can remember.
How could an earthquake happen here now?"
The residents at the ground level breathed a sigh of relief and sought out other people to discuss the
freak incident that they had just experienced. It was simr to having snow falling in the desert during
summer.
Deep under the ground.
Standing in front of the earth dragon, Austin reached out his hand and lightly touched its body, so as
not to agitate it.
"It seems that the earth dragon hadn''t taken this shape for a long time.
There is only some faint and blurry consciousness on its mind that can be ignored,"
Austin said to himself after studying it for a while.
He then stamped on the ground with his foot
and shouted an order to ask the dragon to turn over.
Boom!
In the underground world, the body of the gigantic dragon that stretched for an untold length suddenly
turned over.
In this way, it would be very active and lively up on the ground.
Consequently, the mountains directly above it, heaved up and down like piano keys as a response to
the dragon''s movements.
At the same time, the hills moved forward like earthworms repeatedly wriggled.
The boundless forests also rocked back and forth, disturbing the creatures that lived within them.
Numerous birds filled the sky as they flew away in swarms and hordes of beasts of all shapes and
sizes galloped and scurried out of the mountains, trying to escape the terrifying tremors that they had
never felt before.
"Oh my god! The earth started shaking again!"
The people living in the surrounding areas, once again, ran out of their homes and other buildings,
screaming in panic.
Back in the underworld, Austin could feel the chaotic situation and panic among the people up on the
ground. "This is not good! I seem to have made some real trouble for people up there."
He smiled bitterly and felt a little guilty, but he was mostly amused.
"After all, this is the first time that I''ve trapped the dragon sessfully and now I have it under my
But it took too much time.
I have spent several days to make it happen.
I have to speed up and keep cultivating,"
Austin murmured to himself. He was not very satisfied with his aplishment. He knew that he could
do more and improve on what he was able to do in the next few days.
To conclude the day, he activated his bodily movements and left the underground cave, flying off into
the distance.
He headed straight for Smile City.
If he happened to chance upon an earth dragon along the way, he would stop and practice his Dragon-
trapping Skill on it. Bad luck for the dragon.
Generally speaking, only the mountains that were full of spiritual energy and those that contained thick
earth energy, could possibly nourish an earth dragon living within the dense forests.
Those were the so-called treasurends of geomancy.
For a ce to be called a treasurend of geomancy, it must have an earth dragon living within its
limits.
ording to the experts, there were two points of geomancy. The first was the selection of sites as
graves. They needed to find the treasurend where the earth dragon existed. However, what was
more important was identifying the location of the head of the dragon. That would be a major
aplishment and would be rewarded ordingly.
And the second one was trapping the earth dragon so that it would be pinned down under the ground.
In this way, after the people buried their dead, their remains would be nourished by the earth dragon for
a very long time through invisible luck, which would be passed on to their surviving descendants, and
benefit future generations.
Based on popr knowledge, luck was another kind of mysterious energy.
Just like the power of faith, it belonged to the profound and difficult mysterious energies in the world.
Finally, Austin arrived at Smile City.
In the underground of Smile City, he found that there was also an earth dragon there.
"It turns out that there is an earth dragon in the underground of each city.
It makes sense. The city contains the highest concentration of human beings, whether for short term or
long term. Especially for some big cities with important positions, the earth dragon is the symbol of
great luck and prosperity.
I believe that there is abundant earth energy in this ce," Austin said to himself.
There was no doubt that for ces with poor earth energy, there was no chance for them to develop
intorge cities.
At this moment, Austin sensed a huge earth dragon living deep beneath the city.
This earth dragon was also in a transparent state. If not for Austin, who had gotten good at the Earth
Exploring Technique, no one would even remotely notice that it was there, under the ground.
This was the mystery of the earth dragon.
However, Austin found that the earth dragon in front of him was put there by some kind of skill. It was
not staying there at will. Instead, it seemed to be trapped and unable to move for an unknown period of
time.
''It could have been put there by the ancient Earth Master, '' Austin thought to himself.
In the ancient times, some cities would hire local Earth Masters to hold a sacrificial ceremony and trap
an earth dragon.
In this manner, the earth dragon would remain quietly, deep within the earth and provide abundant
energy and luck for the city.
"I think the skill is simr to the Dragon-trapping Skill."
He had spent half of a day studying the dragon, after which, Austin decided to stop.
"Well, it''s time to find my body."
Austin emerged from a sewer of the city, discretely so as not to attract any unwanted attention.
After a series of inquiries, He was able to identify the location of the funeral parlor. Then he wasted no
time going to it.
