Before Fang Chen and the others entered the core of the Sacred Dragon Mountain Range, they heard a rumor.
"Young Master Fang, there are some rumors about you outside."
The group was resting on a bluestone. Suddenly, a panting cultivator ran over from afar.
He was the Heaven Weeping Sect's disciple with the battle-ax.
"Yes?"
Fang Chen frowned and asked.
"Recently, countless cultivators have come to the Sacred Dragon Mountain Range.
There are even disciples from some large Sect.
Now, there are rumors everywhere that Young Master Fang obtained the treasure map of the Sacred Dragon Mountain Range. "The battle-ax wielding disciple slowly said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen's face turned completely gloomy.
"Hmph, this is a framing."
The golden-haired cultivator said angrily. His body emitted a terrifying aura.
The other Heaven Weeping Sect's disciple was also somewhat puzzled. Who was the one who spread the news?
Only Fang Chen and Zhou Fa looked at each other.
Zhou Fa saw a trace of cold killing intent in Fang Chen's eyes.
"Green He City."
Fang Chen made a mental note of Green He City.
This matter was definitely caused by Green He City. Otherwise, it would be impossible for this news to spread.
Only Zhou Fa knew that he was carrying rags.
"They want to borrow the hands of other factions to kill me and then incur the anger of the South Tomb Sword Palace?"
Fang Chen sneered inwardly.
If he was really a disciple of the South Tomb Sword Palace, perhaps this vicious scheme might succeed.
However, who would know that he was a fake?
"The next time we meet, I hope you will still be in good condition."
Fang Chen's killing intent was aroused.
Although the Green He City's disciples were strong, he was not afraid.
"Young Master Fang, what should we do now? There are many factions inquiring about your whereabouts." The battle-ax wielding disciple asked.
"The Sacred Dragon Mountain Range is so big. It will take some time for them to find us. Let's take advantage of this time to hurry." Fang Chen said.
Speaking of which, they also had the advantage of time, place, and people.
With two rags in their hands, they were almost certain that the treasure was on the ridge of the Sacred Dragon Mountain Range.
In this way, the search area would be greatly reduced, and it would be much better than searching blindly.
Moreover, when they joined forces, low-level Eternal Realm martial artists were no match for them.
Unless the opponent was a mid-level Ten Thousand Ancient Realm expert.
Even so, Fang Chen had the power to protect himself.
The group of people stood up and quickly entered the forest.
On the way, Fang Chen sent a sound transmission to Zhou Fa, "Brother Zhou Fa, I've implicated you this time."
"Brother Fang, if you consider me a friend, then don't say such things in the future," Zhou Fa said with some displeasure.
Hearing this, Fang Chen revealed a smile on his face.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, they had been walking on the spine of the Holy Dragon Mountains for five days.
Although it took a long time, he still managed to find some clues.
In a certain dense forest, Fang Chen discovered that something was wrong.
Actually, it was the golden heart that had discovered it.
Suddenly, Fang Chen stopped in his tracks. He felt that the golden heart was beating even faster.
This made him very puzzled.
"Could it be that the treasure is nearby?" Fang Chen thought to himself.
The others turned around and looked at Fang Chen in confusion.
"Young Master Fang, what's wrong?" The golden-haired martial artist asked.
Fang Chen shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Let's go."
After saying that, the group continued to move forward.
However, what no one knew was that Fang Chen's doppelganger had quietly appeared and disappeared into the void.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Fang Chen's original body walked with the three from the Heaven Weeping Sect, while his doppelganger stayed here.
"Boss, what did you find?"
Little Mouse also stayed and asked curiously.
"There's a problem here."
Fang Chen pointed to a piece of ground and said in a deep voice.
"It's nothing. Let me do it."
Little Mouse opened his sharp claws and quickly dug the ground.
After a while, he dug a passage.
"Boss, let's go in."
Fang Chen nodded and entered. Little Mouse then restored the layer of soil above and placed the fallen leaves on top.
Finally, he drilled into a hidden place and then drilled into the soil.
Burrowing was an innate ability of the Heaven Devouring Divine Rat clan.
In the dark soil, Little Mouse was extremely fast and soon met up with his boss.
"How is it?" Little Mouse asked.
"We have to continue diving," Fang Chen said.
"Okay."
Little Mouse nodded and continued to burrow.
This time, it took them an entire month.
Fang Chen roughly estimated that with Little Mouse's speed, they had at least dived over a hundred million li.
Over a hundred million li, and with such a thick layer of soil, even a peak Eternal Realm expert's Divine Sense would not be able to scan it in an instant.
"Huff."
Little Mouse directly collapsed on the ground, panting.
"Boss, what's here?"
Little Mouse was worried that there would be nothing, and that their efforts would be in vain.
If that was the case, he would be really depressed.
After working hard for a day, it was almost as tiring as using three Divine Abilities in a row.
"You should cultivate first," Fang Chen urged.
After diving down to this point, Fang Chen already had some ideas.
Crash.
Just as Fang Chen was observing his surroundings, he suddenly slipped under his feet.
Immediately, he and the little mouse both fell down.
Bang.
Their bodies crashed heavily onto the ground.
Fang Chen hurriedly got up, and the Undying Flame appeared. The pitch-black space suddenly became bright.
"This is …"
Fang Chen opened his eyes wide and looked at the surrounding walls.
There was a simple cave here, and there were some deep marks on the walls.
At first glance, this cave seemed to have undergone the baptism of time.
"Could this be a cave that existed in the last epoch?"
The golden heart beat rapidly, and Fang Chen was full of doubts.
After diving over a hundred million li, they found this cave.
And this cave was the main reason why the golden heart was attracted to it.
"Boss, the marks on the wall seem to be left by a divine beast," Little Mouse said.
"Can you identify which divine beast it is?" Fang Chen asked.
Little Mouse shook its head, and its little paws touched the marks on the wall, carefully sensing them.
"Although the marks are very shallow, I can see that the divine beast that left them must be very strong."
"Why do you say that?" Fang Chen asked.
"Boss, look carefully. These marks seem to be in a mess, but they contain some complicated patterns," the little mouse said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen hurriedly looked over.
Suddenly, he felt his mind shake.
It was as if he was in an illusory environment.
"This is …"
Fang Chen was shocked. These messy marks actually contained terrifying profundities of the Laws.
"A divine beast that can leave behind laws and mysteries on the wall with a casual wave of its hand, I'm afraid it might really be the legend of the True Dragon passed down from the last epoch," Little Mouse said.
The True Dragon was an existence that stood at the peak of the beast world.
In his inherited memories, he vaguely remembered that the True Dragon and True Phoenix were peak divine beasts.
"Marks left behind by the True Dragon?" Fang Chen's heartbeat sped up.
If these were truly marks left behind by the True Dragon, then this cave would definitely contain a heaven-shaking treasure.
Little Mouse observed for a while, and then shook its head in confusion.
"Boss, these marks aren't as simple as you think.
However, I keep feeling that they are related to the legend of the True Dragon, but they aren't left behind by the True Dragon, "Little Mouse muttered.
Fang Chen tried hard to suppress the shock in his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "Ever since we entered the Sacred Dragon Mountain Range, we have been influenced by the legend of the True Dragon, causing our judgment to deviate greatly.
Perhaps you are right. The marks here are most likely not left behind by the True Dragon. "
Even the supreme existences of the God Realm valued the True Dragon very much.
If there really were marks left behind by the True Dragon, the peak experts of the God Realm wouldn't be indifferent.
After thinking about it, Fang Chen felt that this should be a misdirection.
"Then what's the meaning of these marks?"
Fang Chen frowned and racked his brains.
In the Sacred Dragon Mountain Range.
The disciples of the various Sect had already arrived, and the place became lively.
Of course, where there were people, there would be fighting.
This place was no exception. Many Sect's had feuds, and when enemies met, their eyes would turn red.
A fight to the death would break out.
The battles were endless and chaotic.
