The Legend of the Dragon King

Tang Wulin suddenly felt a scorching sensation in his sea of spirit. Everything in the surroundings turned misty gold. Soon after, he felt the initially cool Boundless Universe Crystal stuck firmly between his brows as if it was glued to his forehead.

His spiritual power had already achieved the Spirit Domain realm so the massive amount seemed like a sea of spiritual power. At the moment, he felt the boundless spiritual fluctuation bursting out in his mind.

As he held the Boundless Universe Crystal against the area between his brows, he could clearly sense the crystal undergoing a transformation. He was astonished that the Boundless Universe Crystal was shrinking. It was about the size of his palm initially, but it had now turned into the size of a longan fruit. A moment later, it turned into a nail.

At the same time, Tang Wulin discovered that he could not move his body. Apart from being able to think, it felt as if everything else had been frozen.

However, he could feel there were ripples being unleashed from his body. These ripples were spreading outward with the Boundless Universe Crystal as its center.

However, he could not see that there was a golden rune that was emerging slowly on his forehead. The rune took the form of a golden trident with the shrunken Boundless Universe Crystal embedded slightly below the trident’s sharp middle prong.

A golden brilliant spiral arose from the trident rune. It was constantly undergoing changes while Tang Wulin himself was helpless. His soul power and spiritual power were diminishing at alarming speeds.

However, all the elements of different attributes were surging toward him at an extremely high speed to replenish his consumption. It was not obvious in the beginning. Later, these elements began to gather with increasing speeds. Tang Wulin felt as if he was fighting against numerous abyssal powerhouses in the Blood Gods Great Array.

What was that…

He had no idea what happened, but the equilibrium appeared in his body in such a miraculous manner. Tang Wulin had turned into a statue! Energy was being infused, then channeled out in ripples which had him baffled.

Was this the work of Old Tang? Was he capable of exercising control over Tang Wulin’s body?

Upon making the discovery, Tang Wulin felt his chest tighten. After all, Old Tang had always been mysterious. It was Old Tang who told him about the Golden Dragon King Seal’s existence and how these abilities had made him.

At the moment, Old Tang was exercising control over his body. How could Tang Wulin not be concerned?

Energy was being transformed through his body which acted like a medium. There was utterly nothing he could do.

After his fleeting concern, Tang Wulin felt his mind relaxing gradually. There was not much use in worrying. If Old Tang truly had the ability to control him, there was nothing much he could do. Moreover, judging from his long relationship with Old Tang, Tang Wulin was currently not in any kind of adverse situation.

Perhaps, he was dwelling too much on this.

Tang Wulin soon became relaxed. Since there was nothing much he could do, he would spend the time to observe every form of the elements to learn about the profundity behind each element.

It was relevant to use this cultivation method for his Spirit Domain spiritual power since there was nothing else he could do. He might as well begin to cultivate his spiritual power.

Time passed by and soon Tang Wulin lost count of time. All of a sudden, Tang Wulin felt his scalp tighten. In that split second, all his hairs stood on end.

Immediately, the ripples that were spreading outward earlier paused for a moment. Soon after, Tang Wulin felt his sea of spirit shake violently once. It felt as if something on the outside had infused into him.

It was not a pleasant feeling. It gave him a splitting headache as though his entire sea of spirit was about to explode.

However, the feeling only lasted for a moment before it stopped. He began to pant heavily which made him feel better. However, he felt shocked at the same time. What had just happened?

The ripples were no longer spreading outward, yet Tang Wulin felt that something had linked with his sea of spirit subconsciously.

It felt quite peculiar. It seemed illusory yet the feeling was for real.

“I’ll need to enter into a deep sleep for a period of time. Please take care of yourself. I’ll elaborate when I’m awake.” Old Tang’s voice was heard once again but he sounded tired at present. In addition, his tired voice revealed a certain emotion which was different from the past.

“My child, I’ll be leaving you another set of spear techniques. Please study it on your own.” Upon saying that, Tang Wulin felt his entire body relax. He finally regained control of his body.

He focused his attention and used his inner sight to sense Old Tang’s presence. Apparently, Old Tang had completely vanished without leaving behind any aura. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin noticed that his spiritual power had spiked tremendously when he used his inner sight. It was a few times higher compared to his cultivation for the past three months. He could even see every cell in his body when he used his inner sight.

He hastily raised his hand to touch the Boundless Universe Crystal on his forehead and discovered that there was nothing there. His forehead was all clean and smooth.

He dashed to a mirror in the washroom. There was nothing on his forehead as expected. There was nothing between his brows either. It seemed like nothing happened.

What…

Tang Wulin could not help smiling bitterly. What was happening here? Elder Long had just passed the Boundless Universe Crystal to him. Had he ‘eaten’ the crystal? It was Shrek Academy’s guardian treasure! As the Sea God’s Pavillion Master, he was…

More accurately, it was Old Tang who ‘ate’ the crystal. How was Tang Wulin going to explain to Elder Long? How was he going to explain to his comrades from Shrek Academy?

After having gone through so many experiences, Tang Wulin tried to remain calm. He pacified himself gradually after the initial anxiety.

It was obvious that he could not take back the Boundless Universe Crystal, but it was also not the first time that something had entered through the extraordinary area between his brows. Did the Life Seed not bore into his forehead which then came out later from the same spot?

Tang Wulin could only wait for Old Tang to awaken from his deep sleep before he could ask him in detail. He assumed that Elder Long would not be questioning the whereabouts of her Boundless Universe Crystal. If she inquired, Tang Wulin would tell her that the Boundless Universe Crystal had fused into the area between his brows.

He shook his head helplessly. He then decided that he would cultivate first. He proceeded to cross his legs and sat down. Since his spiritual power had been elevated immensely in such a baffling manner, he would need to feel the change and adapt to it.

He soon entered into a meditative state. He shifted his consciousness ever so slightly and realized that the soul power inside his body had begun spinning according to the Mysterious Heaven Method’s circulating orbit. His soul power felt like a liquid which was enshrouded by a layer of misty golden gloss over its initial pure white color. Tang Wulin had completed the cultivation of the Body Sect’s Innate Secret Technique known as the Body Penetrating. He was in a consolidation period at present, so he was not in a rush. After adapting himself to the Golden Dragon King Seal for so many years, he knew that the first step in elevating his body’s strength was to strengthen himself continuously. He had to allocate adequate time to nourish his body while it was adapting to the change.

With his strength at a certain level, should he fail to exercise control over the strength effectively, there would be all kinds of issues which would hamper the advancement of his cultivation process.

In a breath, Tang Wulin had already entered the meditative state of complete emptiness.

His consciousness sank deep inside his body and began spreading outward to enable him to quietly sense the change in the surrounding air. The elemental molecules with different attributes were all within his perception range. The perception became even more acute after his spiritual power was elevated.

He endeavored to control, analyze, and sense their profundity as he went over every minute detail of the elemental molecules.

Following the immersion of his consciousness, Tang Wulin had entered into an intriguing state of cultivation. Furthermore, it was evident that he had achieved a major improvement this time.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin’s sea of spirit shook once all of a sudden. He felt something indistinct.

There appeared to be a soft voice calling his name continuously from a great distance.

He could hardly hear the voice, but he could sense the intimacy that seeped deep into his marrows.

He opened his eyes abruptly and awoke from the meditation. Tang Wulin was startled to find the shirt on his back drenched in sweat. It was amazing that this situation would occur with his current cultivation base!

That voice was…
