"If that's the case, what's so special about this Grand Prophecy Technique that makes you value it so much?" Li Chengfeng pressed.
Dragon Wizard Wu Tao, still catching his breath, explained, "The Grand Prophecy Technique, while not top secret, its true value lies in the cosmic laws and future visions it contains.
Those who can comprehend even a fraction of it can foresee opportunities and avoid dangers.
However, this secret method is too profound, and throughout the ages, very few have truly mastered its essence."
Li Chengfeng frowned, pondering to himself. He realized that the Grand Prophecy Technique was widely circulated in the Dragon Realm and even in places with dragon veins.
However, he had not obtained this secret method when he inherited the Voidfire War Dragon talent, which must mean there was a hidden reason.
He speculated that perhaps only Dragon Wizards with special bloodlines could comprehend this prophetic power from the depths of their blood.
He looked at the Dragon Wizard, a faint smile appearing on his lips, and said, "So that's how it is. The Grand Prophecy Technique you speak of may be part of your Dragon Wizard bloodline inheritance.
But for outsiders like me, we need to explore it through other means."
The Dragon Wizard, seeing this, was secretly horrified. He never expected that Li Chengfeng could so easily see through his thoughts, let alone that his natal essence blood would be so easily taken by the other party.
He struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness and anger, but even more so with awe of Li Chengfeng's strength.
Li Chengfeng held the Dragon Wizard's natal essence blood in his hand, closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then shook his head gently.
He felt the powerful force in the Dragon Wizard's bloodline, as well as the subtle fluctuations regarding prophecy, but clearly, these were not enough for him to directly comprehend the core of the Grand Prophecy Technique.
He opened his eyes and said lightly, "Your innate talent is indeed extraordinary, but the Grand Prophecy Technique cannot be comprehended solely through bloodline.
It requires profound cultivation, extraordinary comprehension, and a deep understanding of the laws of the universe. However, since you mentioned it, perhaps we can make some deals in this regard."
Dragon Wizard Wu Tao was filled with mixed feelings. He was both glad that he had saved his life and worried about his future.
He knew that he was now like a caged bird, and if he wanted freedom, he had to pay the corresponding price.
He lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "I do know something about the Land of Extreme North and the Evil Dragon Clan.
If you are willing to let me leave, or at least give me some freedom of movement, I am willing to tell you this information."
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, not in a hurry to get the answer.
He knew that the Dragon Wizard was now at a disadvantage and would naturally try to provide valuable information to exchange for his own benefit.
He said, "You can walk around freely, but remember, your freedom depends on your value.
If you can provide effective methods to deal with the Land of Extreme North or the Evil Dragon Clan, I will naturally consider giving you more freedom.
But if you are just wasting your time here, then you should be very clear about your fate."
After speaking, Li Chengfeng waved his sleeve, and a branch of the Yellow Springs Ghost Tree gently lifted the Dragon Wizard and placed him back in his previous position.
Dragon Wizard Wu Tao looked at Li Chengfeng's departing back, his heart filled with complex emotions. He knew that the only thing he could do now was to work hard to improve his value and strive to gain freedom as soon as possible.
Li Chengfeng continued to refine the Dragon Wizard's natal essence blood in deep thought, the power and information contained within surging into his body like a tide.
It activated the Myriad Demon Transformation Technique hidden in his body, causing his blood to boil and turn into countless runes, perfectly merging with the Nirvana Sacred Art he had cultivated before, forming an unprecedented cultivation experience.
In this process, he seemed to glimpse the secret of the Dragon Wizard's cultivation—a path similar to that of a Celestial Diviner but completely different.
Dragon Wizards establish contact with the true Dragon God through sacrifice and communication, thereby gaining power.
And the Dragon Gods are divided into two categories: Dragon Saints and Dragon Gods. The former enters the Dao through martial arts, decisive in killing; the latter is ethereal, as if wandering outside of time and space, yet able to grant their followers what they need through their devout worship and sacrifice.
This understanding of the Dragon God reminded Li Chengfeng of the Evil Gods, but the two were fundamentally different.
Evil Gods require their followers to unconditionally sacrifice and be loyal. Once they stop, they will suffer the Evil God's revenge; while the Dragon Gods are more tolerant and free. The followers' sacrifices are entirely voluntary, and the Dragon Gods will not interfere.
Through this experience, Li Chengfeng deeply realized the vastness and mystery of the universe, as well as the various magnificent races and forces contained within.
The Dragon Clan, Ancient Demons, Ancient Devils, Ancient Gods, Ancient Immortals, these four ancient races, as well as the Ancient True Spirits, each possessed the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth, making one feel terrified of their own insignificance.
Especially when he thought of the Dragon Saint's terrifying Dragon Control Seal, he felt a chill down his spine.
That kind of power that could penetrate endless interfaces and easily destroy a human realm made him deeply realize that if he wanted to survive in this world where the strong are respected, and even jump out of this cycle and gain true freedom, he must constantly improve his strength.
Therefore, Li Chengfeng became more determined on his path of cultivation. He knew that only by constantly breaking through himself and mastering stronger power could he stand firm in the future storms and protect everything he cared about.
Li Chengfeng's mind moved slightly, and the statue of the Murong family's ancestor appeared before his eyes. The statue was lifelike, as if it contained endless energy.
The power of atoms surged within it, and the power made one's heart palpitate.
Li Chengfeng's mouth curled into a smile, and then he used the Cauldron Bottom Dao Source. Instantly, a special force was extracted by him, and the Murong family's obscure aura was easily extinguished by him and thrown into the blood pool.
Just as his divine sense was deeply exploring the rules within the statue, the statue suddenly transformed into a small altar.
On the altar, a terrifying force suddenly erupted, and a remnant soul took the opportunity to invade Li Chengfeng's mind, rushing towards his soul.
Li Chengfeng was caught off guard. The Murong family had hidden this remnant soul in the statue.
Because the Profound Magnetic Divine Light could shield the five elements and interfere with divine sense perception, he did not notice this hidden threat.
And the divine sense he had extracted with the Cauldron Bottom Dao Source before was just a smokescreen set up by the other party. The real killer move was hidden at the end.
At this time, a man in white robes—transformed from the remnant soul—appeared in Li Chengfeng's sea of consciousness, looking at Li Chengfeng's primordial spirit illuminated by the terrifying light.
He whispered in disbelief, "Impossible, how can your primordial spirit be so powerful? A Core Formation cultivator, how can you have such a powerful primordial spirit?
I, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, would be more than enough to seize. But why is it like this?"
Seeing that the other party was not in a hurry to escape, but instead spoke eloquently, Li Chengfeng was secretly vigilant.
The other party's eyes were bright and energetic, and his temperament was extraordinary. As expected of Murong Qiuhai, the ancestor of the Murong family, an old monster who ascended hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Back then, when the human world had not changed and the ancient demons had not fallen, he had already ascended to the Immortal Realm. After hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation without dying, he should undoubtedly be a Tribulation Transcendence stage expert.
