Chapter 1454: Upgraded To High-Grade Dragon Vein

After getting a clear look at Xiang Shaoyun, Chen Zilong relaxed and fainted. Although he had been healed, he had been tortured for too long in the Baleful Dragon Cave, and his body was already at its limits.

When Long Jun and the others saw Xiang Shaoyun healing Chen Zilong, they guessed that the two probably knew each other from before. A bitter feeling filled their hearts. If Xiang Shaoyun decided to pursue the issue concerning Chen Zilong, things would become troublesome for them.

"Bring him somewhere to rest," said Xiang Shaoyun with a wave of his hand.

Xiang Shaoyun did not want to further pursue the issue of Chen Zilong's torture. After all, he wasn't exactly that close to Chen Zilong. He merely intended to recruit Chen Zilong due to Chen Zilong's talent. As for the grudge between Chen Zilong and the Dragon Society, Chen Zilong would have to resolve it himself.

After the meeting, Xiang Shaoyun's group decided to spend some time in the Dragon Society. Xiang Shaoyun also took the chance to visit the Dragon Society's unique cultivation spots, the Dragon Pond and Baleful Dragon Cave.

The Dragon Pond was a pond of dragon blood. It contained a piece of dragon bone and was surrounded by dragonblood weeds. The Dragon Pond was definitely an excellent cultivation spot for those in the Dragon Ascension Realm.

As for the Baleful Dragon Cave, it was connected to the Dragon Pond. However, it was filled with baleful energy that could corrode one's body and willpower. If one stayed in the cave for a prolonged period of time, one would be erased into nothingness. The cave was usually used to punish the society's traitors and sinners.

Xiang Shaoyun could feel that the baleful energy in the cave could harm even an Emperor. If one's cultivation was sealed, even an Emperor wouldn't survive 10 days in the cave. From how Chen Zilong had survived in the cave for a year, one could see just how impressive his physique was.

Next, Xiang Shaoyun visited the nine dragon veins. After opening his divine dao eyes, a look of pleasant surprise covered his face. "The aura of nine converging dragons is even better than I imagined!"

Previously when he had observed the Dragon Society's terrain from afar, he had noticed the aura of nine converging dragons. At the time, he had thought that the nine dragon veins were merely low-grade dragon veins. Only now did he notice that the dragon veins were actually of the middle grade.

Furthermore, the veins were showing signs of advancing into high-grade dragon veins. After the advancement, the ambient energy around the Dragon Society would further increase. More and more of their members would be able to enter the Soul Foundation Realm, transforming the Dragon Society into a holy land of cultivation.

"This converging dragon aura is something created by the first society master. He knew a little bit about formations and was able to set up a proper formation of dragon veins. Unfortunately, during my generation, none of us knew formations that well," said Long Jun with a sigh. "Nevertheless, these dragon veins are the roots of the Dragon Society."

Xiang Shaoyun nodded and said, "No wonder the Dragon Society has so many elite cultivators. These dragon veins have played a great role in that. With their current rate of growth, they will probably advance to a higher grade in about 1,000 years. At that time, the various organizations will probably turn crazy with envy."

"A thousand years? With your talent, you would have entered the God Realm by then. Who would still dare to steal from us then?" said Long Jun in a slightly fawning manner.

"That is way too long. Let me give these veins a hand, and they will become high-grade dragon veins in 100 years," said Xiang Shaoyun with a confident tone before soaring high into the sky. Using his finger as a pen, he drew in the air and instantly activated the formation surrounding the nine dragon veins, greatly alarming Long Jun. After all, that was the formation defending the entire Dragon Society, and it could kill even a peak Saint once activated.

And yet Xiang Shaoyun was able to so easily suppress the formation. As he brandished his finger repeatedly, he forcefully modified the formation, adding dozens of formation eyes and hundreds of formation lines. If a formation master was to see what Xiang Shaoyun was doing, they would probably think that he was a madman.

In truth, what formation masters hated the most was modifying the formations laid out by others. That was because they could easily commit errors and destroy the original formation when doing so. Not only would that harm others, but it might also harm the formation masters. Thus, for many formation masters, Xiang Shaoyun's actions were tantamount to suicide.

Nobody knew that Xiang Shaoyun had divine dao eyes. With how roughly made the original formation was, Xiang Shaoyun could easily see through the formation and its formation eyes. Upgrading the formation was an easy task for him.

Looking at how easily Xiang Shaoyun had modified the formation, Long Jun was greatly shocked. Xiang Shaoyun already seemed exceptionally impressive before. With such mastery over formations, his future seemed even brighter.

Perhaps submitting to the Ziling Sect really is a smart choice, sighed Long Jun inwardly.

After spending about half a day, Xiang Shaoyun finally finished the modification. The formation was upgraded to the great saint grade, allowing it to gather much more ambient energy in the society than before. When the Dragon Society members sensed the change in the ambient energy around them, they were overjoyed. Such ambient energy would be extremely beneficial for their cultivation.

"Money, come," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"I'm here, boss," said Money after flying over.

It turned out that Money had sneaked into the Baleful Dragon Cave to devour the baleful energy within. That energy might be harmful for others, but for Money, who had dragon blood in his veins, the baleful energy was merely a tonic.

Money was already a ninth-stage Demon Sovereign. It wouldn't be long before he could enter the Demon Saint Realm. As for the reason for his rapid advancement, it was all thanks to the benefits he had received from Purple Lightning Marquis.

"Make sure to catch them all!" said Xiang Shaoyun as he dragged out nine strands of draconic aura from the nine dragon veins. The nine strands were akin to nine dragons, presenting a sight that shocked everyone present. Each of the nine dragons emanated a pure and powerful draconic aura.

Any Emperor would probably reach the Sovereign Realm after absorbing one of these strands. Even a Sovereign would be able to advance by several stages after absorbing one.

Xiang Shaoyun dragged out all nine strands before tossing them toward Money's mouth. Overjoyed, Money morphed into his true form and opened his jaws wide. Instantly, he swallowed all nine dragons. His body immediately enlarged, and a large amount of draconic aura burst out of him. He started emanating a powerful pressure.

Roar!

Lifting his head, Money roared at the sky as though an actual dragon had emerged. His roar frightened the numerous Dragon Society disciples.

"Alright, alright. Stop messing around. Quickly refine the energy. This will probably push you closer to the Demon Saint Realm," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Yes, boss. It won't be long before I evolve yet again!" said Money in excitement before he dove down and entered Xiang Shaoyun's body. He was going to enter a deep slumber.
