Chapter 293: The Source!
More than a thousand tourists stood behind the yellow line, surrounding the area, quietly waiting for the Dragon Breath Ceremony to begin.
“Damn! What’s there to see from so far away?” Fat Liu grumbled.
“You think the Dragon Breath Ceremony is just for watching? I told you, it’s about bathing in dragon breath! Understand? Soon the dragon breath will shower down on this island like sunlight, and we who stand below will absorb it to strengthen our bodies…” Li Bingyan explained.
“What’s that platform in front for? For performances?” Fat Liu asked.
“The Dragon Breath Ceremony is essentially a concentrated cultivation session for the Long family’s core members… Soon, the Long family’s core members will stand on the platform, which is the focal point of the dragon breath… We’re just paying 50,000 yuan to get a small taste,” Li Bingyan said.
“You mean the Long family uses dragon breath to cultivate martial arts?” Fang Yu asked with furrowed brows.
“Boss, I’m not clear about that. You know more about martial arts than I do,” Li Bingyan replied.
Fang Yu nodded without saying more.
“Hey, let’s squeeze forward. Theoretically, the closer we are to the platform, the more dragon breath we can bathe in,” Li Bingyan said as he led the way forward.
With Fat Liu’s build clearing the path, Fang Yu and Yu Yueyue followed smoothly behind.
Soon, the four of them stood at the front of the yellow line, with a clear view of the platform.
“This position is much better,” Li Bingyan said.
At this moment, a group approached from nearby, walking directly inside the yellow line.
They all wore golden robes with the character ‘Long’ printed on the right chest.
“The Long family has arrived!” Li Bingyan said.
Fang Yu watched the group, his eyes flickering slightly.
Among the group, the man walking in front had late Foundation Establishment cultivation level, equivalent to the so-called Martial Sovereign realm.
The eight people behind him all had Foundation Building cultivation, equivalent to Martial Grandmasters.
This group walked expressionlessly toward the platform ahead.
“Wow, these people have such a strong presence. As expected of the Long family, who are related to dragons, they’re truly impressive,” Li Bingyan sighed.
As more tourists gathered, Li Bingyan’s group was gradually pushed forward.
Soon, another group in golden robes entered within the yellow line.
This time, a woman led the front.
The woman was very beautiful with delicate features, but her expression was cold, her eyes full of arrogance.
“Wow, what a beauty!” Li Bingyan exclaimed, his eyes shining.
Fat Liu also stared intently at the woman.
The woman seemed to hear Li Bingyan’s voice and turned to look at him with disgust in her eyes, saying coldly, “Who allowed you to stand inside the yellow line?”
Hearing this, Li Bingyan was startled, looked down, and realized that he and Fat Liu had unknowingly stepped about two steps inside the yellow line.
“Sorry, we were pushed in by the people behind us,” Li Bingyan smiled awkwardly, moving back.
The woman snorted and said, “Get back behind the yellow line immediately!”
Li Bingyan and Fat Liu’s expressions changed slightly as they hurried to retreat, but with people pushing from behind, it was truly difficult to move back.
The woman’s eyes were indifferent as she said, “You can get lost.”
Li Bingyan’s expression changed as he said, “We’ll move back quickly, please make way…”
Li Bingyan and Fat Liu struggled to push back, finally managing to stand behind the yellow line.
“I told you to…” the woman impatiently tried to repeat her previous words.
At this moment, someone beside her held her back.
“Qianqian, let it go, why bother with them?”
Long Qianqian had to give up, turning her head to say in a disgusted tone, “Next time, can we stop letting these common people come to our Long family island? I feel sick just looking at them. Why should we share our Long family resources with these people?”
“You’ll have to talk to your father about that, we don’t have a say. Besides, doing this once every three months brings in several million yuan in income, so why not? After all, most of the dragon breath is absorbed by us, it has minimal effect on these mortals,” the person beside her said.
“Our Long family doesn’t lack money, I just don’t want to share with these lowly mortals! I’ll talk to my dad about it,” Long Qianqian said.
…
“That woman is too arrogant!” After Long Qianqian’s group left, Fat Liu said indignantly.
“Sigh, can’t help it, the entire island belongs to the Long family, it’s normal for them to be a bit arrogant. You should know, the Long family claims to be descendants of dragons, they’re the number one martial arts family on Nine Dragon Island, their status is supreme, even the government doesn’t dare to provoke them,” Li Bingyan sighed and said.
The two Long family groups walked up to the platform ahead.
They divided into four rows, standing in four positions.
The middle position was taken by the man at the Martial Sovereign realm.
“Is it starting!?”
The tourists anxiously watched the platform ahead.
Among them, some had been here before, while others were first-timers.
“It’s almost eleven o’clock,” Li Bingyan checked his watch and said.
Time slowly passed.
At exactly eleven o’clock, an authoritative voice suddenly rang out in the air: “The Dragon Breath Ceremony officially begins.”
As the voice fell, pale golden beams of light suddenly shot out from nine positions around the island, converging in the sky above the platform.
Then, a golden light vortex formed in the sky, slowly rotating.
The tourists exclaimed in succession.
But Fang Yu knew clearly that these nine light beams came from those nine stone tablets.
This phenomenon was just the formation being activated.
So far, one could only feel the power of the formation, nothing special.
The golden light vortex in the sky rotated slowly, then suddenly accelerated at a certain point!
“Woooo…”
Suddenly, a long, soul-shaking sound rang out in the sky.
Accompanied by a majestic and sacred power!
Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly as he looked up at the golden light vortex in the sky ahead.
He had never seen a real dragon and didn’t know what kind of aura a dragon would emit.
But that dragon’s roar was different from the simulated dragon roars in the dragon-related techniques of various sects!
More crucially, that sacred power was an aura Fang Yu had never felt before!
This aura was somewhat similar to the heavenly power he possessed, but also different.
The similarity was that they both brought an irresistible shock to people’s souls, making their hearts involuntarily feel submissive.
Beyond that, everything was different!
“Could this be real dragon breath? Does the Long family really control a dragon?” Fang Yu’s eyes showed some shock.
But he quickly realized this was impossible.
Even if dragons still existed in the world, a mere Long family couldn’t control one.
Dragons were divine beasts, according to legend, in ancient times, dragons had even slaughtered immortals.
If dragons still existed in the world, given the level of these so-called martial artists now, the world would have been destroyed already.
After the dragon’s roar appeared, the golden light vortex in the sky began dropping points of golden light, like golden rain.
These golden lights fell concentrated on the platform, falling on the Long family members.
At this time, all the Long family members had their eyes closed, with faint true qi emanating from their bodies.
The man standing in the middle position was also surrounded by a faint light shield.
“Looking at them, why do I feel like kneeling?”
“Yeah, I feel the same way, it feels like those Long family members are like gods, not in the same world as us…”
“Do you feel suddenly more energetic?”
The tourists exclaimed continuously, their eyes shocked.
At this moment, however, Fang Yu raised his head to look at the golden light vortex in the sky, thinking.
The formation itself couldn’t possibly generate dragon breath.
Obviously, this formation’s purpose was to channel dragon breath from somewhere else, then let it fall onto the platform in this form for those martial artists to absorb.
So, where was the source?
Fang Yu looked at the sky, then around him.
It couldn’t be in the sky.
Then, it could only be under their feet…
Fang Yu spread his divine sense again but found nothing.
In this situation… he should use those eyes.
Fang Yu closed his eyes, placing two fingers on his forehead.
A moment later, when he opened his eyes again, several white characters appeared in his red-glowing pupils.
The people beside him were all staring at the distant golden light vortex, no one noticed Fang Yu’s transformation.
Fang Yu turned his head to look at a stone tablet in the distance.
In his vision, he saw streams of golden dragon breath surging up from below the stone tablet, entering the tablet, then being emitted out…
The source of the dragon breath was beneath this island!
In the deep sea!
Fang Yu thought for a moment, then inconspicuously squeezed out of the crowd, walked to the edge of the island, and jumped into the sea.
He wanted to find the source of the dragon breath!
Shortly after Fang Yu jumped into the sea, in another part of the crowd, a man with ordinary features showed a wild smile on his face and walked straight into the yellow line, heading toward the platform.
“Dragon breath, such a thing should be enjoyed by me alone. If I can take this chance to break through to the Core Formation stage, that would be even better.”
The man stopped about a hundred meters from the platform, his aura gradually rising.
“Whoosh!”
A moment later, purple flames suddenly ignited around his body!
The purple flames coiled around his body, slowly moving!
The man raised his right palm toward the platform ahead, opened his mouth, revealing a cruel smile!
