Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: The Ancient Mystery of Cangnan Continent

”I don’t know much. My memory, because of this sword, is already fragmented...”

The Evil Phantom Dragon sighed, its gaze fixed on the sword in Ye Yun’s hand, deeply melancholic.

Ye Yun nodded.

This sword was not ordinary. The one wielding it was the Nine Soul Emperor. It not only pinned the Evil Phantom Dragon’s Primordial Spirit but also shattered its memory.

Ye Yun had seen such methods many times.

This indicated that an invisible hand was attempting to conceal something behind the scenes.

But the Evil Phantom Dragon was a Divine Dragon from the Ancient Times; the time separating it from the Dragon God Sect was too vast. Could the mastermind behind it all truly be the same person?

Many thoughts flashed through Ye Yun’s mind. He looked at the Evil Phantom Dragon, sighed, and said, ”The Nine Soul Underground Palace appeared on the Cangnan Continent hundreds of thousands of years ago. This means you’ve been dead for hundreds of thousands of years. Tell me everything you know...”

”Has it really been hundreds of thousands of years?”

The Evil Phantom Dragon was shocked. Sealed in this place, it had lost all perception of time’s passage.

Ye Yun nodded.

The Evil Phantom Dragon, appearing somewhat desolate, spoke in a deep voice, ”The Cangnan Continent you mentioned was actually called the Dragon Hidden Continent in the Ancient Times. Back then, the continent was inhabited by countless Divine Dragons, all led by the Ancestor Dragon, residing on this continent...”

”Did a thrilling battle occur afterward, leading to the extinction of all the Divine Dragons?” Ye Yun asked, his heart skipping a beat.

”The Dragon Clan on the Dragon Hidden Continent was incredibly powerful. The cultivators from outside the Divine Land, to some extent, dared not engage us in battle. Our two great powers coexisted peacefully.”

”However, one day the Ancestor Dragon suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where it had gone. The Ten Super Divine Dragons began to infight, sparking a war among the Divine Dragons.”

”I was still young at the time; many specific events are unclear. Later, because I committed an error, I was imprisoned in the Ten Directions Dragon Prison.”

”After a million years, the restrictions of the Ten Directions Dragon Prison vanished, and I escaped. Only then did I discover that almost all Divine Dragons were extinct. Heartbroken, I began a rampage of wanton killing across the continent, causing life to wither...” the Evil Phantom Dragon said faintly.

”So, the Nine Soul Emperor descended to the Dragon Hidden Continent to kill you?” Ye Yun asked.

”Yes, the Nine Soul Emperor descended to the Dragon Hidden Continent from outside the Divine Land. We fought for ten thousand years, with no clear victor. Later, he somehow found this Dragon Slaying Sword, pinned my Primordial Spirit, and cast an unimaginable Divine Skill. He sealed me within his own body, and we were fated to perish together...”

The Evil Phantom Dragon paused, looked at Ye Yun, sighed, and said, ”That’s all I know. Many secrets seem to have disappeared. But I have a feeling that the Ancestor Dragon’s disappearance is connected to a shocking secret...”

”I see!”

Ye Yun nodded.

Suddenly, he reached out with his other hand and grabbed the Evil Phantom Dragon.

”What are you doing?” the Evil Phantom Dragon asked in horror.

Its fragmented Primordial Spirit was so weak that it was definitely no match for this mysterious young man before it.

”Letting you live a little longer...”

Ye Yun took out a piece of Soul Nurturing Wood and attached the strand of Primordial Spirit to it.

The Evil Phantom Dragon’s nearly dispersed Primordial Spirit immediately stabilized.

Within Ye Yun’s demonic eyes, tiny, rune-like constellations began to appear again, resembling the birth and death of stars in the cosmos.

At this moment, he activated the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye once more, putting the Evil Phantom Dragon directly into a deep sleep. Simultaneously, Ye Yun accessed the Evil Phantom Dragon’s memories.

Everything was indeed as the Evil Phantom Dragon had said – it hadn’t lied.

In the Evil Phantom Dragon’s fragmented memories, Ye Yun witnessed the magnificent and vast spectacle of the Ancient Times.

The Dragon Hidden Continent of the Ancient Times was vastly larger than the current Cangnan Continent—countless times so. Numerous Divine Dragons inhabited different regions of the continent.

Some dwelled high above the sky, others atop mountain peaks, some lurked in the depths of the sea, and still others resided in the centers of great lakes.

The Ancestor Dragon’s cultivation base had reached God Emperor’s Peak.

Beneath the Ancestor Dragon, each of the Ten Super Divine Dragons possessed astounding cultivation bases, all having reached the Divine King Realm.

As for other powerful Divine Dragons, most had nearly reached the Divine Sovereign Realm.

Before the Evil Phantom Dragon was imprisoned in the Ten Directions Dragon Prison, its cultivation level had also reached the Divine Sovereign Realm.

It could be said that the God Dragon Clan of the Ancient Times was unimaginably strong.

The Dragon Hidden Continent of that era also possessed an unimaginable abundance of Spiritual Energy.

But all of this changed due to the Ancestor Dragon’s disappearance and the infighting among the Ten Super Divine Dragons, ultimately leading to a world-shattering war.

This caused the entire Dragon Hidden Continent to shrink by a factor of millions, and its Spiritual Energy was no longer as rich as before.

It’s a pity. The Evil Phantom Dragon was locked in the Ten Directions Killing Prison and didn’t know much. Otherwise, I could have learned more secrets about the cataclysmic event of that year...

Ye Yun sighed and placed the piece of Soul Nurturing Wood back into his storage space.

This remnant strand of the Evil Phantom Dragon’s Primordial Spirit might be useful later, so he decided to keep it for now.

As for its body, it had already petrified and was of no use.

At this moment, Ye Yun looked outside.

With the death of the Nine Soul Divine Sovereign, the Secret Realm of the Nine Soul Underground Palace also underwent a sudden change.

The members of the Demon Clan who were fighting were all suddenly transported out.

A series of deafening booms followed.

This space began to destabilize, threatening to collapse at any moment.

The strange creatures within the space darted about chaotically, attempting to break out of this Miniature World.

Ye Yun waved his hand, and the entire space immediately stabilized again.

He couldn’t allow the bizarre creatures from the Nine Soul Underground Palace to escape into the Cangnan Continent; otherwise, it would trigger an unimaginable catastrophe.

In a flash, Ye Yun returned to the main hall and re-entered the Big Black Cat’s body.

Controlling the Big Black Cat’s body, he grabbed the Spirit Cat and left the Nine Soul Underground Palace.

When he emerged outside the Nine Soul Underground Palace, many members of the Demon Clan were standing around, gazing at the Nine Soul Underground Palace in shock.

「In the carriage.」

Ye Yun formed a spell with his hands, sending it into the void.

This spell landed upon the Nine Soul Underground Palace, immediately forming a seal.

The projection of the Nine Soul Underground Palace in the sky vanished.

With a thunderous rumble, the Nine Soul Underground Palace sank deep into the earth.

Henceforth, it was sealed for eternity, never to appear in this world again.

Ye Yun’s Primordial Spirit once again fell silent.

The Big Black Cat regained its own consciousness. Looking at the familiar surroundings, it was stunned.

”What happened?”

MEOW. The Spirit Cat also slowly woke up at this time.

”Big Brother, weren’t we in a large hall? How were we suddenly transported outside?” the Spirit Cat asked, bewildered.

”How would I know?”

The Big Black Cat also felt helpless. It felt as if it had just had a long dream, in which it went somewhere and saw a vague, golden figure.

That golden figure seemed to have said something to it, but the Big Black Cat couldn’t recall what.

”Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, did you obtain that stalk of Decenary Longevity Immortal Grass?”

At this moment, the Dragon Lord strode over, gazing coldly at the Big Black Cat as he questioned it.
