Chapter 53 Cheng Xiao is a liar
"I've noticed your acting is getting better and better. It's hard to believe you're practicing the Path of Ruthlessness. Should I give you an Oscar for Best Actor?" Hakimi teased.
He had just witnessed everything in Cheng Xiao's consciousness, and he wondered what Cheng Xiao was waiting for. It turned out he was waiting for pursuers.
Even watching that scene of risking one's life was terrifying to him.
"Do you have some misunderstanding about the Path of Ruthlessness? Precisely because I cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, I see things more clearly. I also know what Long Yingxue wants. Whatever she wants, I will perform." Cheng Xiao was unusually talkative.
After all, he doesn't have much to do right now.
After Long Yingxue left, he froze his physical body.
Ao Shuang tried various methods but couldn't break through the ice, so she could only take the huge block of ice back to the Dragon Palace to see if any of her clan elders had any solutions.
"Are you so sure Long Yingxue will come back to save you? What if she listens to you and chooses to live on her own? Wouldn't all your plans be for nothing?" Hakimi asked.
"Don't worry about that. If she doesn't come back, she's not Long Yingxue. Besides, the stats speak for themselves, her favorability rating is 100," Cheng Xiao explained.
After that, he only needed to stay in the Dragon Palace and wait for Long Yingxue to rescue him.
The ice that sealed him was obtained through a fortuitous encounter. Not to mention Nascent Soul cultivators in the mortal realm, even those several realms higher might not be able to break through it.
"Even if she comes back, she still can't beat her, right? Are you planning to step in and help?" This was the only answer Hakimi could think of.
Although this instance involves soul travel, it's not as convenient as the last one.
But even a soul at the Mahayana stage of cultivation is enough to break through this mortal realm.
In his opinion, wouldn't it be better for Cheng Xiao to just lead Long Yingxue directly to the Dragon Palace?
Anyway, the favorability rating is already maxed out.
But this guy insisted on seeing if there were any other levels above 100 favorability.
He said 100 is the limit, and there are no higher limits.
But he didn't believe it!
"I can help a little, but in the end she still has to do it herself. Besides, I just left her a cheat code," Cheng Xiao replied.
Now it was Hakimi's turn to be dumbfounded.
He had been in Cheng Xiao's consciousness the whole time, how could he not know?
Cheng Xiao continued to explain, "For the past six months, I've divided my soul into multiple parts, searching for the legendary Dragon King's inheritance. Guess what? I actually found it."
Hakimi stared in disbelief: "There really is a Dragon King's lineage! I thought it was just something those dragons made up!"
He finally understood why he knew nothing.
Cheng Xiao can divide his soul into multiple parts, but he only has one part, so he can only follow the main perspective.
Indeed, one should not underestimate a powerful cultivator in the Mahayana stage.
"Now all I need to do is wait for her to arrive," Cheng Xiao said calmly.
"Waaaaah, I'm suddenly so touched." Hakimi suddenly fell ill.
"What are you up to now?"
"This is the first time you've said so much to me. It's so kind of you. You've been giving me the silent treatment before." Hakimi was very moved.
Cheng Xiao: "..."
He suddenly felt that those systems that only had system voice prompts were better.
......
There was no sign of life on the summit of the snow-capped mountain.
There was only white here, and snow everywhere.
After the recent avalanche, the area has returned to quiet.
Long Yingxue stumbled and trudged through waist-deep snow.
Her pale green dress had been torn to shreds by the wind and snow, and ice had even begun to form on her fair skin.
Long Yingxue's cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, making her one of the top cultivators in the mortal realm.
But in these snow-capped mountains, she discovered that her cultivation was constantly suppressed. Not to mention flying, even walking was extremely difficult. Here, she was just a mortal with a stronger physical body.
Long Yingxue didn't know where the teleportation array had taken her, but she knew that something strange was about this place.
She did not flee, but continued to follow the faint yellow light ahead, walking forward.
The wind and snow tore at her skin, but she seemed to have lost the ability to feel pain.
After the light emerged from the ancient jade, it guided her to the deepest part of the snow mountain.
"Cheng Xiao isn't dead yet, the blood pact is still in effect, he's still waiting for me!" she gritted her teeth and persisted.
This ancient jade was left to her by Cheng Xiao; there must be something inside that he wanted her to see!
The further she went in, the stronger the pressure she felt on her body became.
Fortunately, she was a dragon with a strong physical body. If an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator had come here, they would probably have frozen to death long ago.
Despite this, the wind and snow on the mountain were still incredibly fierce.
Long Yingxue even had dry, cracked wounds on her body, and the blood that seeped out instantly froze into ice.
With each step she took, she was panting heavily, her spiritual energy almost completely depleted.
Now, she is sustained entirely by a single, unwavering belief.
Long Yingxue didn't know how long she had been walking.
One day? Two days?
In these vast snow-capped mountains, time seems to lose its meaning.
All she knew was that Cheng Xiao was still alive, and that was her only hope.
Suddenly, the yellow light ahead accelerated and plunged into a huge crevice.
Without the slightest hesitation, Long Yingxue crawled inside using both her hands and feet.
Unlike the raging winds outside, the inside of the crevice was quite quiet.
As she ventured deeper, the path beneath her feet became smoother, as if it had been carved out by magic.
Reaching the end of the passage, the scene before her eyes left Long Yingxue stunned.
In the heart of the snow-capped mountains, a palace entirely constructed of ice has appeared!
The scene was truly breathtaking.
Directly in front of the underground palace, Long Yingxue saw a crystal altar. Above the altar floated a drop of golden blood, constantly emitting light and attracting attention.
Long Yingxue was very familiar with this blood; it was the blood of a true dragon!
The moment she stepped into the underground palace, the yellow light instantly merged into her blood and disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, she heard a voice resounding from within her soul.
"I am the lord of the dragon race. All my descendants who bring this token may receive my inheritance."
Upon hearing this, Long Yingxue froze instantly. She looked at the drop of golden blood, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She understood, she understood everything.
It turns out that the "Dragon King's Legacy" that Ao Shuang mentioned is not in the Burial Dragon Abyss at all!
Long Yingxue guessed that a thousand years ago, before the old Dragon King fought the mysterious swordsman, he may have already foreseen his own demise and hid the true core secret of the Dragon Clan's inheritance on the summit of this snow mountain!
If it weren't for the physically powerful dragon race, cultivators of other races would have no way to get close to this place.
They died on the way before they even found the underground palace.
The token that opened the underground palace was the ancient jade that Cheng Xiao had given her.
The only token to unlock this place of inheritance was the "teleportation jade" that Cheng Xiao gave her!
"Cheng Xiao, you're a complete and utter liar! A liar!"
Long Yingxue knelt before the altar, tears streaming down her face.
It wasn't until this moment that she finally realized it.
What kind of random one-way teleportation array?
What's your trump card for survival?
It was all a lie he made up!
It turns out he already knew the secret of the Dragon King's inheritance!
Cheng Xiao had planned everything out long ago.
He knew that after they extracted the true dragon's essence, the dragon race would come knocking on their door sooner or later, and he knew that with their current strength, they were no match for the many powerful members of the dragon race.
Therefore, he gave her this only chance to defy fate and then used his own life to buy her time to receive the inheritance!
