Chapter 797

In the depths of the Dragon Vein

Zhuowen slowly woke up. He felt like he had had a very long dream. In his dream, he was running tirelessly and aimlessly.

When he woke up, his eyes were filled with confusion. As he looked around, Zhuowen realized that his surroundings were pitch-black. However, he was quietly floating in this pitch-black environment.

"Where is this place?" Subconsciously, Zhuo Wen muttered.

Zhuowen remembered that he was killed by Xu Lingtian's sneak attack.

Now, it seemed like that wasn't the case. He could still feel his heart beating vigorously.

"This is the Dragon Vein!"

Xiao Hei, who was curled up in front of Zhuowen's chest, hurriedly replied with joy when she saw that Zhuowen had woken up.

"Dragon Vein?

Could it be the Dragon Vein under the throne room?

But how did I enter this place? "

Zhuowen was even more confused. Ever since he was attacked by Xu Lingtian, he had fallen into a deep coma. He knew nothing about what had happened in the outside world.

Xiao Hei sighed softly and told Zhuowen everything that had happened. The more Zhuowen heard, the more shocked he became.

Especially when the Qing Emperor used the Dragon Vein Energy to strip the Dragon Soul from his body and take it for himself. This caused Zhuowen's face to turn extremely gloomy.

"What happened to Big Brother Lü Hantian?" Zhuowen asked coldly.

Xiao Hei shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure about that. However, I'm afraid that it doesn't bode well for him."

Zhuowen frowned when he heard that. He felt a little uneasy. Lü Hantian was indeed powerful. However, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't be a match for the Qing Emperor. Therefore, Zhuowen was very worried about Lü Hantian's safety.

What made Zhuowen even more resentful was that the Azure Supreme Thearch, as the ruler of the Qing Xuan Empire, not only did he not think of ways to save him, Zhuowen, but he even wanted to strip the dragon soul from Zhuowen's body.

Zhuowen was already extremely weak and on the verge of death. If the Dragon Soul was stripped away, he would definitely die. Emperor Qing did not care about Zhuowen's life at all for the sake of the Dragon Soul.

"However, how did the Blue Dragon Hall and Emperor Qing know that I have a dragon soul and that I'm a descendant of the Ryūka bloodline?" Zhuowen asked with a frown.

"I'm afraid that it has something to do with Grand Haohai. When Emperor Qing came, Grand Haohai and Grand Haohai were behind him. Furthermore, your father Zhuo Xiaotian has a good relationship with Grand Haohai. I'm afraid that Grand Haohai knows that your father is a descendant of the Ryūka bloodline."

Xiao Hei's eyes flashed as she analyzed the situation in an orderly manner. The Blue Dragon Hall and Emperor Qing did not target Zhuowen previously. However, they suddenly came to the Drunken Spring Pavilion three days ago. Everything was too sudden. Zhuowen did not believe that no one had tipped them off.

Zhuowen's eyes darkened when he heard that. Xiao Hei's words were not without reason. The Grand Haohai Clan had a good relationship with the Zhuo Family. They might really know such secrets.

In addition to the Blue Dragon Hall and Emperor Qing's sudden actions, it was obvious that Grand Haohai was related to this matter.

"This Grand Haohai is trying to kill me by every means possible. It's really detestable. The Grand Haohai Clan, the Blue Dragon Hall, and Emperor Qing. I, Zhuowen, will not let this matter rest," Zhuowen said coldly.

At this point, Zhuowen suddenly glanced at Xiao Hei and asked, "Xiao Hei, do you have any way for me to escape from the Dragon Vein?"

"There's no need to be so anxious!

This Dragon Vein is an opportunity for you.

You're so weak now. You'll only be asking for trouble if you go out. It's better for you to break through to the Xuanzun Realm in this Dragon Vein, "Xiao Hei said unhurriedly.

Zhuowen's eyes lit up when he heard that. Xiao Hei was right. The reason why Grand Haohai and the Blue Dragon Hall wanted to kill him was mainly because he, Zhuowen, did not have a strong force or strength.

If he had enough strength, would the Grand Haohai Clan and the Blue Dragon Hall dare to provoke him?

"Strength!" Zhuowen clenched his fists. He had an unconcealable desire for strength at this moment.

"Now that you're awake, let's accelerate our descent!

This Dragon Vein is extremely deep. I wonder how deep it is! "Xiao Hei nodded.

Zhuowen did not waste any time. Ever since he transplanted the purple-black heart, he felt that his body was filled with endless energy. It was as if he had an inexhaustible strength.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

In an instant, the speed of Zhuowen's descent reached an extremely terrifying level. In the darkness, he was like an illusory shadow.

After half a day, Zhuowen finally reached the bottom of the abyss. When Zhuowen's feet touched the ground, the smile on his face became even wider.

Looking around, he realized that he was in an extremely wide natural cave. On the walls of the cave, there were uneven moonstones. The cold brilliance shone brightly in the dark cave.

Around the cave, there were five entrances. The depths of the entrances were extremely dark as if there was no end.

Which of the five entrances was the correct one?

Zhuowen frowned slightly as he stared at the five entrances in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"This cave should be part of the Dragon Vein. The Dragon Vein Energy here is much thicker than above."

Xiao Hei floated quietly in front of Zhuowen. She took a deep breath and looked intoxicated. To a Dragon Soul like Xiao Hei, the Dragon Vein Energy was definitely nourishing.

However, Zhuowen also realized that the Dragon Vein Energy in the cave seemed to be repelling him and wanted to push him out. Fortunately, Xiao Hei was in front of him and the Dragon Vein Energy was as obedient as a baby.

It seemed that too much Dragon Vein Energy was not beneficial to martial artists. Instead, it would repel martial artists and even harm them.

No wonder Xiao Hei had said that only martial artists with Dragon Souls could enter the Dragon Vein. Otherwise, even an Emperor Realm martial artist like Emperor Qing would not be able to enter the Dragon Vein so easily.

"Kid!

Don't worry. With me around, the Dragon Vein Energy will not harm you!

On the contrary, you can make use of a small portion of the Dragon Vein Energy to refine it and turn it into your own Yuan Power. "

Xiao Hei saw the strange look on Zhuowen's face and chuckled. She waved her claws and sent a portion of the Dragon Vein Energy into Zhuowen's glabella.

A large amount of Dragon Vein Energy was harmful to martial artists. However, a small amount of Dragon Vein Energy was extremely beneficial to martial artists.

Back then, when Emperor Qing bestowed enlightenment to the top ten geniuses on the Azure Emperor Leaderboard, he had used the Azure Dragon Energy formed by the Dragon Vein Energy to channel it into the top ten geniuses' bodies so that they could refine it and increase their cultivation.

Zhuowen's eyes were filled with joy as he felt the benefits of the Dragon Vein Energy.

"It's still too early to be happy. I have already said that this Dragon Vein is definitely not simple. Let's explore it first!" Xiao Hei said lazily.

Zhuowen nodded when he heard that. Then, he looked at the leftmost entrance of the five and smiled bitterly.

There was not much difference between the five entrances. It was impossible for Zhuowen to know which entrance was the real one. Hence, he could only use the stupidest method to test them one by one.

Swoosh!

In an instant, Zhuowen took a step forward and disappeared into the depths of the leftmost entrance. After a while, Zhuowen came out of the hole again and was covered in dust.

"It was indeed wrong. There are actually traps inside!"

After walking out, Zhuo Wen's gaze was somewhat gloomy as he muttered to himself. The leftmost entrance was a dead end. What made Zhuo Wen feel even more helpless was that there was actually a rather troublesome mechanism and trap inside.

If it wasn't for his strong physical body and Xiao Hei's warning, Zhuo Wen wouldn't just be in a sorry state right now. It was very likely that he would be severely injured.

"Try the next entrance. This time, you must be careful." Xiao Hei cautioned him seriously.

Zhuowen nodded and looked at the second entrance from the left. At this moment, his movements were much more cautious and his speed was much slower than before.

After a while, Zhuowen came out of the entrance again with a gloomy expression. The second entrance was also incorrect.

Following that, Zhuowen tried to enter the third and fourth entrances. As Zhuowen was much more cautious, although there were indeed traps inside, Zhuowen was much more relaxed than the first time.

After retreating from the fourth entrance, Zhuowen's gaze finally landed on the fifth entrance. This was the last entrance. Since the first four entrances were dead ends, then the fifth entrance was probably the correct one.

"Let's go in!

This entrance should lead to the core of the Dragon Vein. "Xiao Hei stood on Zhuowen's shoulder and said excitedly.

Nodding, Zhuowen took a step forward and turned into an afterimage, instantly entering the fifth entrance.

Inside the entrance was a rather dark corridor, surrounded by low oval-shaped walls. The moment one entered, it gave off a dilapidated and low feeling.

Zhuowen's speed was neither fast nor slow. At the same time, he was constantly on guard against his surroundings. After experiencing the traps at the first four entrances, Zhuowen naturally had to be cautious of the fifth entrance.

However, what surprised Zhuo Wen was that after walking for an hour, there were no traps in the corridor that had been triggered.

"Looks like the real entrance doesn't have any traps. Kid, you can speed up now!

I can feel that this corridor is very deep. With your current speed, I don't know how long it will take for you to completely walk out of this corridor. "

Xiao Hei's eyes flickered as she whispered into his ear.

Zhuowen did not object. His hands changed the seal, and suddenly, three pairs of lightning wings grew out of his back. His speed was many times faster than before. Like a bolt of lightning, he flew straight into the depths of the corridor.

Just as Xiao Hei had guessed, the fifth entrance was the correct entrance. There were indeed no traps inside. Zhuowen flew all the way as fast as lightning.

After another hour, Zhuowen discovered that there were strands of dazzling white light in front of him. His eyes immediately revealed a look of joy.

"The exit is right in front!"
