After hearing Lin Ciyan's answer, Elder Mo was silent for a moment, stood up, walked to an old wooden shelf, and took down a roll of yellowed animal skin map.
"The records of Dragon Bone Wasteland and Tang Sect do exist." He slowly unfolded the map, "But most of them are incomplete."
Lin Ciyan refreshed. "What is the specific location?"
"There are no specific coordinates." Elder Mo shook his head, "The handbook only said that deep in the wasteland, there is an area with 'the densest concentration of dragon bones'."
"Can you tell me the specific range of Elder Mo, Dragon Bone Wasteland?" he asked.
Elder Mo glanced at him with deep eyes. "Young man, I advise you not to go to that place easily."
"It's very remote. Most people won't find it. It's considered safe. But if you really go there..."
"Although Dragon Bone Wasteland seems desolate, it hides many unknown dangers. Many Soul Master once went there to explore and never came back."
"I'm just doing an academic investigation, I won't go in-depth." Lin Ciyan promised.
Elder Mo sighed and drew a circle on the map, "It's roughly this range, with a radius of a hundred miles. But the real 'keel density area' should be in the center, and the area will not exceed ten miles."
He paused and then said, "If you really want to go, remember three things: first, don't touch those bones that still look 'fresh'; second, immediately find a bunker to hide when you encounter 'Bone Dust Storm', Bone Dust Storm has a very terrifying corrosive effect; third... if you hear the roar of a dragon, leave immediately and don't look back."
Lin Ciyan carefully wrote down, "Thank you Elder Mo for your advice."
When we left the Tang Sect branch, it was almost dusk.
Lin Ciyan didn't delay and rented a soul-guided off-road vehicle directly at the gate of the city - Star Luo City The surrounding terrain was complex, so a hover vehicle was inconvenient.
"Go to Dragon Bone Wasteland." He said to the driver.
The driver, a middle-aged man with a weathered face, was stunned for a moment when he heard this. "Guest, that place... is not peaceful."
"I know, just go to the outside and take a look, don't go deep."
"That's okay, but the price has to be doubled, three hundred Gold Soul Coin."
"Deal."
The off-road vehicle drove out of the city gate and sped along the dirt road to the south.
Further south, the vegetation becomes sparser and the land gradually turns gray-brown.
Four hours later, an endless wasteland appeared ahead.
The ground is exposed to gray-white rock formations, and various huge skeletal fossils can be seen everywhere half-buried in the soil, some like ribs, some like spines, some like skulls... Under the reflection of the setting sun, they exude a strange and desolate atmosphere.
"This is it." The driver stopped the car, "I can only send it here, and my car won't be able to hold it any further."
Lin Ciyan paid to get out of the car and walked alone into the depths of the wilderness.
As dusk fell, gusts of dark wind blew across the wasteland, rolling up fine bone powder and forming a gray-white mist in the air. The surroundings were eerily silent, with only the sound of the wind whimpering, like countless dead souls crying.
He walked towards the center according to the range given by Elder Mo.
The further in, the denser the bone fossils become.
Later, you could step on bones with almost every step. Some of the bones were so huge that one rib was more than ten meters long. You can imagine how huge it was in life.
"Here... how many Soul Beast died?" Lin Ciyan was shocked.
He suddenly remembered the plot in the original work -
Tang Wulin is a member of the Tang Sect Soul Fighting Hall. He was selected to enter Dragon Valley because of his outstanding achievements. When entering, he was given Dragon Pearl for return, and then passed Elder Tang Sect opened the seal and entered in a group of two. The person paired with him was Dai Yun'er. The two of them wore masks and entered Dragon Valley. They practiced there and their relationship gradually warmed up.
Later, Gu Yue and Ferocious Beast briefly opened the small world seal, and Gu Yue saw the two of them being intimate with each other, causing a misunderstanding.
Because of the passage opened by Gu Yue, the small world became unstable. Later, Dragon Valley's seal became loose, and everyone had to evacuate.
Other Tang Sect members left with Dragon Pearl, but only Tang Wulin chose to stay with Dragon Tomb, and stayed there for three years.
During those three years, he practiced alone in Dragon Tomb, absorbed the legacy of the Dragon Clan, and was finally reborn.
"Tang Wulin That kid..." Lin Ciyan whispered to himself, "He is indeed a ruthless person."
Among all the original characters, there are only a few that he can truly admire.
Tang Wulin is definitely one of them - not because of his identity as the protagonist, but because of his responsibility and courage.
The responsibility of "doing something even though you know you can't do it".
And the courage to "break out of a desperate situation".
When most people encounter difficulties, their first reaction is to escape or ask for help, but Tang Wulin will choose the most difficult road and then grit his teeth and walk to the end.
He saved everyone except himself and the people he loved deeply. The final ending was disappointing. He and Gu Yue were killed by Ice Seal for thousands of years...
While thinking, he had arrived at the center of the wasteland.
The scene here is even more shocking - the ground is covered with layers of Soul Beast fossils, some even piled into hills.
The air is filled with faint energy fluctuations, which are traces of the energy of the dragon's remnant souls emanating from the small world.
Lin Ciyan stopped, closed his eyes, and released the breath of Holy Radiance Qilin with all his strength.
Golden light gushed out from his body, and the shadow of Qilin behind him looked up to the sky and howled.
The auspicious and sacred breath spreads and resonates wonderfully with the surrounding energy pressure.
Just then--
[System prompt: High-intensity small world residual energy fluctuations detected!]
[Energy source confirmation: The remains of the entrance seal of the ancient dragon clan's secret realm "Dragon Valley"]
[Current seal status: stable (about 23 months until the next natural opening)]
[Currently, 3000 Slacking Value can be consumed. Combined with Martial Soul Resonance, the temporary entrance can be opened in advance?]
[This operation will not affect the original sealing cycle of Dragon Valley, and the opening time of the next natural year will remain unchanged]
Lin Ciyan opened his eyes, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Three thousand Slacking Value... a lot, but worth it.
The most important thing is that the system clearly stated that it will not affect the next natural opening time.
In other words, if he goes in this time, he will not ruin Tang Wulin's opportunity in two years' time.
Lin Ciyan No more hesitation.
"Confirm the consumption of 3000 Slacking Value and open the temporary entrance!"
[Instruction confirmation...Slacking Value is being deducted...]
[Current Slacking Value:48015→45015]
[Energy guidance starts...Holy Radiance Qilin Martial Soul Resonance...]
[Warning: Space fluctuations are about to occur, host please be prepared to enter!]
The air in the center of the wasteland began to twist, and those Soul Beast bones trembled slightly, making a low hum.
Immediately afterwards, a silvery-white light lit up in the void, rapidly expanding to form a vortex about two meters in diameter.
Deep in the whirlpool, you can vaguely see the scene of another world - clouds and mist, dragon shadows, and faint golden light spots floating in it.
That's...Dragon Cloud!
Lin Ciyan took a deep breath and stepped towards the vortex,
The moment he entered, he looked back at the Dragon Bone Wasteland.
Dusk has deepened, and the wasteland is shrouded in darkness. Only the silver-white vortex emits a faint light, like a door to another world.
"I'm coming Dragon Valley..." he said softly
Next step into the vortex.
The figure disappeared.
The vortex slowly contracted, eventually turning into a shimmer and dissipating in the air.
The wilderness returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.
Only the night wind still whimpered, picking up bone powder and drifting into the distant starry sky.
