Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

Chapter 341: Shining Ba Xia!?

After tightening the Dragon Imprisoning Lock on his body to ensure that he could escape at any time, Jiang Li continued to sink.

In the canyon, Jiang Li could smell decay.

This place was too deep. The currents could not flow in, and there were no other sea creatures living here. To a certain extent, it was like a pool of stagnant water.

He carefully took some time to reach the bottom of the canyon.

He did not dare to shine light openly and continued to use his sonar to explore this place. As his senses became more and more obvious, Jiang Li slowly advanced towards a place.

A figure gradually appeared in the vision of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra.

It was a huge tortoise shell.

A tortoise shell that was large enough to easily carry three to five mountains.

When Jiang Li first sensed it, he did not recognize it. Only when he saw the shaped patterns on the tortoise shells did he barely confirm it.

This tortoise shell was stuck in the middle of the two ravines. Both sides were deeply embedded in the canyon wall. Its complete size should be far above what Jiang Li had seen.

This tortoise shell should have been buried deep underground. It was during intense geological activity that this seabed suddenly split open, forming this canyon. Only then did this tortoise shell see the light of day again.

The species in the ancient times were indeed powerful. Now, there were dozens and thousands of monsters thousands of feet tall. Clearly, they were far inferior to the original owner of this tortoise shell.

Moreover, there was a strong dragon aura.

Although Jiang Li had never seen a true pure-blooded dragon, he always felt that even the dragon were unable to compare to the original owner of this tortoise shell.

No sea race member dared to enter this canyon. They were most likely driven away by the aura emitted by the tortoise shell.

The Dragon Race had a dominating suppression over all sea creatures. If the flood dragons did not have the help of special treasures, even they could not be spared.

What attracted Jiang Li was inside the tortoise shell.

Jiang Li slowly swam in from the hole. The space inside was so wide that it was not inferior to the coffin.

In this tortoise shell was a group of palaces, or rather, ruins.

In the ruins, Jiang Li could still faintly see the prosperity of the past.

Slap!

He landed and planned to see what materials the Dragon Race used to build the palace back then.

However, as soon as his feet touched the ground, he discovered that something had been broken.

He gently blew out a stream of water and washed away the surrounding mud.

What was exposed before Jiang Li was a complete dragon bone fossil. If he sold such a complete dragon bone, it should not be a problem for him to sell it for 400,000 to 500,000 low-grade spirit stones.

However, he had broken a rib when he landed, so the quality was much worse. The price would probably be reduced by tens of thousands.

Did he just casually step on a dragon bone?

Jiang Li thought for a moment before taking a deep breath of seawater and spitting it out again. Using his dragon bloodline’s water control talent, the water current swept through the entire interior of the tortoise shell this time.

Water flowed into the hole that Jiang Li entered from and poured out from the other side, slowly washing away the thick layer of mud on the ground.

It revealed the original appearance of this place.

Jiang Li did not notice any danger in the tortoise shell, so he shot a ball of light towards the sky above. After the light scattered down, he looked over.

Tragically, the ground was covered in dragon corpses!

They were either large or small, twisted or spinning. At a glance, hundreds of dragon bone fossils were lying quietly on the ground.

An ancient aura assaulted his senses.

Even the ancient biological fossil research hall under the Divine Judgment Hall probably did not have so many Dragon Race fossils.

After putting away these fossils and selling them, Jiang Li’s trip would not be in vain.

However, what attracted him was not these dragon bone fossils, but a huge stone monument in the center of the tortoise shell.

The words on this stone monument were a type of unorthodox ancient text, looking a little familiar.

“The Dragon King was enlightened on the spot. He used his divine power and sent rain to the mortal world. He saved the scorched earth and caused life to grow. He prevented harm from happening to the seedlings. The river flowed freely and clean water was available.”

“Such deeds were to be praised. By saving mankind, it was seen as the Holy Dragon of Divine Power.”

“It was the guard of the water realm. If there was a drought, rain would descend. If yin and yang were not balanced, and the people were terrified, it would notify the heavens and cities would receive strict cleansing and nurture new life. The sky was filled with rain, the earth was filled with spiritual springs, plants were flourishing, and the fields were abundant. There was no worry in the world, and peace was preserved till one turned old. The calamity had forever disappeared.”

“However, in the 33 Heavens, the ancestors descended to the lower realm, and the myriad tribulations were unjustified. Thousand tribulations descended as suffering ensued.”

“They who were covered in scales, horns, and the likes were walking deities in human form. Yet, the ancestors enslaved them. Unbelievable!”

“The path of death was in hell, and there was no return. The sin was deep and could not be explained. Our race was silent, and the gods had harmed us. Our lifespan was short, and we died in the darkness of the night and suffered a hundred tribulations.”

“This was a world where dragons and phoenixes do not appear to be auspicious, and the evil of heaven and earth was hard to overcome.”

Jiang Li circled around the stone monument to read. There were already some unclear words on it.

Behind the stone monument was a huge earth vein map.

After reading through this monument, be it the words or the content, they were very similar to the things he had read on Ink Sect’s Thousand Mechanisms Sphere.

The content recorded on it was similar to the previous stone monument.

Generally speaking, it spoke of the initial glory of the Dragon Race. They controlled the clouds, rain, and flood, and were respected by all races.

However, later on, due to the decision of a certain mighty figure in the 33 Heavens, they were locked up somewhere.

They sacrificed the entire Dragon Race to cast a certain shocking array to resist the calamity of heaven and earth.

Then, the life of the Dragon Race was only left with suffering and despair. They even said the words “dragons and phoenixes do not appear to be auspicious, and the evil of heaven and earth was hard to overcome”.

Jiang Li knew about this calamity of the world. Apart from the calamity of the Cultivationless Age, what else could make the person from the 33 Heavens personally make a move on the Dragon Race?

These stone tablets recorded the struggles of ancient mighty figures on the eve of the Cultivationless Age.

The Dragon Race should have been sacrificed in some mountains and lakes to seal the earth vein and reduce the loss of spiritual qi in the ground to the greatest extent.

How much effect could it have? He still did not know. If they could stall for more time, those Immortals and Gods would be able to make more preparations.

The Dragon Race was sacrificed because of this, but this was also the reason why dragon blood descendants could still blossom everywhere after tens of thousands of years.

The map behind the stone monument recorded the location where the Dragon Race was sealed back then.

This was very interesting. It was basically a large-scale treasure map.

If he searched according to this map, perhaps he could dig out something.

At the very least, the earth vein that had been nourished by the Dragon Race would definitely be stronger. Using the earth flag to move it into the coffin was very beneficial to him.

Jiang Li took out a piece of leather paper and stuck it on it, preparing to print it down and search for it in the future.

However, as soon as his hand touched the smooth stone surface, the monument suddenly erupted with a bright light.

Danger!

A strong sense of fear exploded in Jiang Li’s heart.

The Dragon Imprisoning Lock immediately tightened and retracted. A strong force from his waist pulled him back.

However, his hand was firmly attached to the monument and could not be removed.

The Dragon Imprisoning Lock was on his waist, continuously pulling him back. Jiang Li’s spine was pulled apart piece by piece, and every joint was creaking, as if it might dislocate at any time. His muscles were pulled by the enormous force until they emitted a tearing pain.

However, he still could not remove his palm.

Something was entering through his palm!

However, if he continued to pull, this hand would probably be torn off.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword instantly flew out and stuck to the monument, about to cut off a layer of Jiang Li’s skin.

However, the sharp Immortal Slaying Flying Sword actually lost its effect at this moment.

A golden light shot out from the stone monument and struck the flying sword, sending it flying thousands of feet away. There was also a golden thread attached to it, causing the flying sword to roll on the ground and be unable to fly.

At this moment, Jiang Li’s expression changed drastically. A will entered his body through his palm.

“Hahaha! I, the Sixth Son, have finally woken up!”

“Hahahaha! Lucky dragon blood descendant, let me give you a huge opportunity!”

[Remnant soul of the Ancient Dragon Race’s Ba Xia has entered the body. Dragon Soul Possession in progress.]

A voice sounded from his body, carrying the golden force as it ran around.

Jiang Li was so angry that he wanted to curse.

Damn! An ancient remnant soul! It had actually survived until now!

Damn it! I was careless!

Jiang Li cursed himself for being careless in his heart. After he found out that it was an ancient ruin, he subconsciously thought that everything inside had died completely and that there would not be much danger. He relaxed his guard and ended up really falling into their trap.

This guy who had been left behind from ancient times was at least at the level of an Immortal God. Could Jiang Li’s tricks be useful?

He did not have time to think too much. He closed his eyes and immersed his mind into his sea of consciousness. He summoned back four parallel minds and guarded it tightly.

Sure enough, Jiang Li’s head hurt, and a large hole was blasted open on the edge of his consciousness. After that, an enormous dragon-headed tortoise darted in from the hole.

This dragon-headed tortoise looked very similar to the Dragon Tortoise Jiang Li had seen back then. However, the Dragon Tortoise had a snake tail and only had two front limbs.

This thing had a dragon head and a dragon tail that was even more elegant. Its four feet were flat and stable, and on its back was a stone monument with magnificent achievements written on it.

This appearance described Ba Xia, the sixth son among the Nine Sons of the Dragon. It was also called Bi Xi, and it was the most orthodox of the Dragon Race. It was far superior to any Dragon Tortoise.

Jiang Li looked at its tortoise shell. If he enlarged it a hundred times, wouldn’t it be the huge tortoise shell embedded in the middle of the canyon?

It was said that one could catch a turtle in a jar, but in the end, he ran into the tortoise shell and was caught by a tortoise. If word got out, he would not have the face to see the elders of the Great Mountain Alliance.

“Hahaha, such a solid foundation. My luck is not bad.”

“Oh? Junior, you have such a heavy dragon aura on your body. How can the soul in your body be a human?”

“Hahaha, you, a human junior, must have harmed many of my dragon descendants. Leave your body quickly. I’ll let you die in peace.”

After Ba Xia’s remnant soul entered the Sea of Consciousness, he appeared very excited.

This huge tortoise first praised Jiang Li’s Dao Foundation. Apart from those prehistoric variants, it was very difficult to find a few like him even in the ancient times.

It was very satisfied with Jiang Li’s body.

Then, it spoke rudely and unreasonably, asking Jiang Li to leave his soul and become a lonely ghost, giving this body to it.

It had already treated Jiang Li’s body as its own.

In his eyes, leaving Jiang Li alive and not turning him into ashes was already a form of mercy.

“Master Dragon, I, the descendant of King Zhou of Shang, have accidentally entered your precious land. I’ve disturbed your cultivation. Please be magnanimous. I’ll definitely repay you handsomely in the future.”

Jiang Li’s expression was solemn, but he did not panic.

This was because although the quality of this Ba Xia remnant soul was difficult to estimate, it did not seem to carry much power. Otherwise, his consciousness space would not be able to withstand a True Immortal-level existence so easily.

However, Jiang Li still spoke reason with the other party first. He released a bit of the Human Emperor’s Blood Qi and pulled out King Zhou’s name, hoping that the other party would stop here.

After sensing the Human Emperor’s Blood Qi in Jiang Li’s body, Ba Xia was clearly stunned.

Back then, it had carried the Three Mountains and Five Peaks and ran around. After that, it was beaten up by the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, Yu the Great. The stone monument on its back was given to it by him.

Yu the Great was the Human Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to begin with. Although this blood qi was weak in his eyes, it indeed originated from the Human Emperor.

Yu the Great’s whip landed on its body, and it was quite painful.

The memories of being slapped back then made Ba Xia hesitate, but thinking about it, it became dishonest again.

The bloodline of the Human Emperor had been thinned countless times after the last calamity.

Now, the entire world had been cleansed by the calamity. The stronger an existence was, the more miserable they would be under such circumstances.

Perhaps he was the only one left?

“Hahaha! The Human Emperor from tens of thousands of years ago can’t scare me!”

The bit of remnant soul that Ba Xia could retain until now had already weakened to the limit. Although the spiritual qi of heaven and earth was recovering, if it did not possess a body, it would completely disappear in a few hundred years.

It was not easy for it to wait for such a superb possession target, so how could it let go of this opportunity?

Most importantly, those who were thought to be ants had no right to negotiate.

It no longer paid attention to Jiang Li. Instead, its eyes lit up as it looked at the five sword mountains in the center of his Sea of Consciousness.

“Hahahaha, those mountains are not bad. I want to carry them on my back.”

The huge turtle, Ba Xia, rushed towards Jiang Li. Every step it took caused his Sea of Consciousness to tremble non-stop.

It opened its mouth. Since this human was unwilling to leave, it did not mind having a good meal.

Jiang Li stood on the spot and did not attempt to dodge.

He observed the ground beneath Ba Xia.

Although the tremor was not light, the ground did not crack.

Due to the status effect provided by the Soul Dissolution Liquor, it could provide Jiang Li with shattered soul fragments at all times.

The soul fragments were burned into the purest dust in Jiang Li’s consciousness, and they continuously rained down on his consciousness, allowing his soul to absorb and strengthen!

In just a short period of time, the mountain range in his consciousness was three times thicker than before.

“If that’s the case, there’s no other way to resolve this!”

A large number of roots suddenly burrowed out from the ground and tied up Ba Xia’s four limbs tightly. The momentum of the advance immediately stopped.

However, these roots only bound it for a moment.

Hahahaha!

As expected of Ba Xia, who could carry three mountains and five mountains. Its strength was really shocking.

Countless roots broke apart in pieces. Even if they continuously emerged in the next moment and continued to bind him, Ba Xia could still advance step by step.

Another figure descended from the sky.

Dressed in blood-red skin, the yaksha clone holding a steel trident flapped its wings and descended from the sky. The trident stabbed into Ba Xia’s tail, nailing it to the ground.

Chaotic consciousness flowed into its tail.

The chaotic will of the Asura World was not something that could be resisted casually. Even if it was the Dragon’s Son, Ba Xia, it would slowly be soaked in the blood color.

Behind Jiang Li, another nine balls of pale cold flames appeared, and then they converged into a flaming snake that roared and charged towards Ba Xia.

The white flaming snake wrapped around Ba Xia tightly. The power of the advanced cold flames was even more boundless, burning this huge turtle with the dragon head until it roared in pain.

Jiang Li’s dual cultivation in body and energy was outstanding, but in terms of soul cultivation, he was only fighting a remnant soul… Damn! This was actually possible!

Hahahaha!

In the ruins of the Dragon Race, hundreds of dragon bone fossils turned to ash. Strands of golden light floated out from the fossils and entered the space between Jiang Li’s brows before finally entering the ethereal body of Ba Xia’s soul.

This Ba Xia suddenly swelled up like a balloon. Its entire body emitted golden light as it actually transformed into the shining Ba Xia!?
