Chapter 844 - 944: Phoenix Ridge and Dragon Island
"Why do you say that if Dragon Island is discovered, the world will be thrown into chaos?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously. After all, if Dragon Island were discovered, no one would dare to go there!After all, a single True Dragon could overturn the entire realm of cultivators, and rumor has it that countless dragons live on Dragon Island. If anyone tries to go there, they will surely be discovered immediately and then eliminated by those True Dragons!
Moreover, the outskirts of Dragon Island are guarded by numerous lesser dragons. To reach Dragon Island, one would need to pass through layers of sentry circles protected by these dragons, making it as difficult as climbing to the heavens!
"You don't know, Dragon's Saliva Fragrance is incredibly valuable here. No, it's priceless, truly unmatched in value, as it can resurrect the dead, heal bone and flesh, but on Dragon Island, it's as common as weeds here, found everywhere. Some of the Dragon's Saliva Fragrance might even be dripped on by a True Dragon's saliva, transforming it into an even more potent version!" Bai Feng explained.
"Although entering Dragon Island is impossibly difficult, you cannot overlook human determination, nor human greed!" Bai Feng continued, "For their loved ones, humans might risk their very lives. If they learn the location of Dragon Island, they won't care about their lives and will rush toward it! And as for the greedy ones? They would risk everything for Spirit Stones and riches."
After hearing Bai Feng's explanation, Ye Tianfan realized that once Dragon Island's location is exposed, countless people would rush toward it. After all, fortune favors the bold, and people always wonder, 'What if I succeed?' Success means a lifetime of worry-free existence!
Seeing that Ye Tianfan understood, Bai Feng added, "Now you see why exposing Dragon Island isn't a good thing, just like when Phoenix Ridge was exposed!"
"Phoenix Ridge?" Ye Tianfan asked in confusion. How did we start talking about Phoenix Ridge?
"Oh, right, you might not know about this. Let me tell you!" Bai Feng remembered that Ye Tianfan was a novice with only five years of experience in the realm of cultivation. Although he knew many common things, there were still secrets he wasn't aware of, and so Bai Feng began explaining the matter of Phoenix Ridge to Ye Tianfan!
"Phoenix Ridge, like Dragon Island, was once an unknown place — merely a legend in people's minds!" Bai Feng recounted, "But over two thousand years ago, someone discovered the existence of Phoenix Ridge, shocking the entire cultivation realm because a legendary place actually existed! People eagerly rushed toward Phoenix Ridge!"
Ye Tianfan shook his head upon hearing this, knowing that a Phoenix could overpower the entire cultivation realm, especially an entity with Infinite Resurrection!
It's like playing a game fully equipped, but facing a monster with similar strength that can infinitely resurrect. You finally manage to kill it, exhausting all your potions and gear, only for it to resurrect in perfect condition before attacking you!
Would you not feel utterly hopeless at that moment?
And a Phoenix is just that kind of a Divine Beast.
"At that time, before they reached Phoenix Ridge, they were stopped by Guardians — the Green Luan and Fire Phoenix — keeping them outside the ridge. But they didn't give up, and fought a life-or-death battle with these Demon Beasts. In the end, humans won. However, as the survivors tried to step onto Phoenix Ridge, a Phoenix flew out and with one breath of Phoenix Fire revived all the deceased Green Luans and Fire Phoenixes, even bringing back the dead humans!" Bai Feng said, somewhat wistfully.
"And then? Weren't those people even more eager to enter Phoenix Ridge?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously!
"Precisely. Those people, realizing they were resurrected, became even more determined to enter Phoenix Ridge. However, they were blown away by the Phoenix's single wing flap." Bai Feng continued!
"Blown away?" Ye Tianfan asked in confusion, "Wouldn't that be useless? Couldn't they just fly back?"
"You're right, they did try to fly back, but when they reached Phoenix Ridge again, they discovered that the original Phoenix Ridge had vanished, leaving nothing but a large pit!" Bai Feng said!
"A large pit? Did the Phoenix even take Phoenix Ridge with it?" Ye Tianfan said in disbelief, "Who knew you could pack up and move an entire house? Truly enlightening!"
"Who knows? Some say the Phoenix activated the Phoenix Array, moving Phoenix Ridge to another space. Others argue it was simply moved, sparking endless debate!" Bai Feng explained!
"So, Phoenix Ridge and Dragon Island are both legends. Phoenix Ridge is real and has appeared in history. Then, Dragon Island is highly likely to be real too!" Ye Tianfan analyzed, "Are the lesser dragons guarding Dragon Island also part of the legends?"
After hearing Ye Tianfan's words, Bai Feng nodded and replied, "Yes, it's said that outside Dragon Island are countless lesser dragons, all highly powerful. If their bloodlines are purified, they could ascend to True Dragon status. To purify their bloodlines, all they need is some blood from a True Dragon, enabling their evolution. That's why they willingly guard Dragon Island — for a chance at that blood, however slim!"
Ye Tianfan nodded, saying, "Let's hope Dragon Island hasn't been discovered. It's said dragons are bad-tempered, and if Dragon Island truly emerges, whoever disturbs the True Dragons might face their wrath, leading to the entire cultivation realm being wiped out!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng smiled bitterly and said, "That's quite possible. A True Dragon abroad, if provoked, might attract several others. Now imagine disturbing True Dragons at home on Dragon Island. You'd be intruding in their territory. Following their temperament, they would probably seek to eliminate any future disturbance by dealing with us cultivators first! According to their logic, we all have the potential to bother them in the future!"
Ye Tianfan nodded at this, "True Dragons are indeed domineering!"
