Chapter 93 A Steady Flow Buries the Dragon's Bones
"Do you believe I have gained the Dragon God's approval?"
Lu Xingchen sensed the information conveyed by "0-01" and a slight smile appeared on his lips. This accidental misunderstanding had saved him a lot of trouble.
In this way, not to mention the two giants, the Mountain Dragon King and the Light Dragon King, probably even the dragon souls in the entire Dragon Tomb will no longer have a strong sense of rejection towards him.
That's how dragons are; they prioritize bloodline and have a clear hierarchy. As long as your bloodline's power surpasses theirs, plus a touch of appropriate respect, gaining their approval is a piece of cake.
Moreover, the pseudo-Silver Dragon bloodline aura on Lu Xingchen's body at this moment, after in-depth analysis of the power of the Dragon God, has become so strong that it is no less than the Silver Dragon King himself being present.
Coupled with their previous reverent attitude towards the dragon bones, these proud dragon souls probably already regard him as a distinguished guest of their own kind.
"However, if we take the dragon bones directly now, it would be easy to offend the dragon. Let's take it slowly."
With a thought, Lu Xingchen instantly withdrew the seven-colored dragon aura around him. Then, he raised his hand and waved it, and a cloud of chaotic mist appeared in his palm. After the mist dissipated, a rugged excavator appeared on the ground.
That's right, it's a genuine excavator.
With his current potion mastery, he no longer needs to perform the tedious prayer rituals before the Chaos Sea. With just a thought, he can easily retrieve the sealed artifact.
[Level 2 Seal Item 2-040]: A peculiar excavator.
[Earth Destroyer Ability]: Easily tears apart rock and soil layers, excavating extremely deep foundations, making it an essential tool for building a harmonious society.
[Negative Effect: Mysterious Eating Language] Upon activation, it emits a unique, loud noise. This noise is not harsh or unbearable; rather, it has an eerie "pleasant" quality and possesses a mild hypnotic effect, weakening the mental resistance of intelligent beings.
[Note: Prolonged exposure to noise may subtly pollute the soul, potentially leading to the inexplicable acquisition of strange knowledge, such as "an omnipotent deity" or "the ruler of the shadow world." Use with extreme caution.]
Overall, this is an excavator with extremely subtle functions.
Besides its primary function of digging and excavating, it also has the added effect of brainwashing and pyramid scheme-like mental interference, making it a dangerous conduit disguised as construction machinery.
Lu Xingchen hadn't originally intended to create such a thing; it's just that the storage bracelet didn't have enough space at the time, so he casually tossed the excavator into the Chaos Sea for temporary storage.
Unexpectedly, just one day later, this ordinary piece of engineering machinery inexplicably completed its "sealing and materialization" and became one of his collections.
Now, he's bringing out this excavator not to show off his collection.
Firstly, he wanted to emulate Tang Wulin's actions in the original work, helping these dragon souls to be laid to rest and thus gaining some goodwill.
Secondly, he was drawn to its negative effect of weakening the mind—once the excavation was launched, the mental resistance of those dragon souls would decrease, making it easier for his virtual personality to infiltrate, paving the way for subsequent plans.
If I remember correctly, these dragon souls seem to be very eager to be buried.
In the original story, Tang Wulin spent three whole years personally burying the dragon bones in the Dragon Tomb one by one. He not only collected the torso bones of the Mountain Dragon King, but also obtained a Dragon God Bracelet that could summon dragon bones to help him in battle.
That bracelet had many uses. During the final battle in the abyss, Tang Wulin used it to summon thousands of dragon bones to form an army, but unfortunately, it was ultimately defeated by the Abyss Saint King in one move.
In addition to its other uses, the Dragon God Bracelet has other wonderful applications. For example, when facing dragons that are not Gold or Silver Dragon Kings, this bracelet will exhibit an extremely terrifying suppressive force.
(PS: In the original novel, Zi Ji touched Tang Wulin's Dragon God Bracelet and let out a scream.)
Since this path works, why not follow it? He might even reap unexpected rewards.
Lu Xingchen strode to the massive skeletons of the Mountain Dragon King and the Light Dragon King, cleared his throat, and proclaimed loudly, "Today, I, Lu Xingchen, have encountered a great opportunity within this dragon tomb, allowing my bloodline to be tempered. I hereby swear that all of you seniors present will be able to rest in peace, no longer needing to be exposed to the wilderness, enduring the suffering of ten thousand years of wind and frost!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand without hesitation and pressed the start button on the excavator.
"This kid—" The Mountain Dragon King's dragon soul looked at the machine digging the pit, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes. He then looked at the Light Dragon King, wanting to seek his companion's opinion.
"Don't rush, a person's actions often speak louder than words." The Light Dragon King gave it a reassuring look, then quietly hovered above the skeleton, its dragon eyes fixed on the boy and the excavator below, clearly intending to observe the situation.
Back then, before the Dragon God split into the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, he exhausted his last bit of primal power to send the remains of these dragons, who had been defeated in the war of the gods, into this small plane.
From that time on, their bones remained exposed to the air in this manner, silently guarding the soul of the dragon god below.
For tens of thousands of years, the dragon souls have never uttered a single complaint. Firstly, the defensive line formed by these dragon bones effectively blocks the intruders and protects the peace of the dragon god's soul.
Secondly, there are too many dragon skeletons remaining here. There are over a thousand, ranging in height from tens of meters to hundreds of meters. The skeletons of top-tier beings like the Mountain Dragon King are even over a thousand meters tall.
However, burying all these bones would be a huge undertaking, and the Light Dragon King and the Mountain Dragon King were unwilling to expend their energy on such a trivial matter, so they left the dragon bones exposed to the air.
Of course, it would be a lie to say that the dragon souls didn't want a peaceful burial. Who wouldn't want their soul to return to the earth and find peace after their fall? It's just that this wish is buried deep in their hearts.
If the children before them were willing to help bury them, they would naturally be happy to do so, since even if their bones were buried underground, it wouldn't prevent them from using their powers.
[At the same time, this was also a small test for the Light Dragon King. He wanted to see if this young man, who had gained the "approval" of the Dragon God, could truly remain single-minded and unmoved by the power within the dragon bones when he personally buried these true dragon skeletons containing immense energy.]
"Still playing the test game."
Lu Xingchen caught the thoughts of the Light Dragon King through "0-01", couldn't help but chuckle, and then operated the excavator to officially start work.
This excavator is no ordinary machine; it's the latest model produced by a heavy industry company under the Spirit Pagoda, boasting unparalleled power.
More importantly, the excavator's bucket is specially made of the spirit-forged metal he provided. It can handle not only digging ordinary rock and soil, but also mining hard rare metal veins.
Now, digging a pit to bury the dragon bones is a piece of cake for it.
"Boom!"
With a roar, the excavator's shovel slammed into the ground, sending dirt and gravel flying everywhere.
In just two hours, a huge pit, tens of meters in diameter and more than 100 meters deep, appeared in the Dragon Tomb.
Subsequently, Lu Xingchen selected a relatively small-sized real dragon skeleton.
He didn't roughly push the dragon bone directly into the pit, but deliberately slowed down his movements—after all, the Mountain Dragon King and the Light Dragon King were still watching from the side, and he had to show enough respect.
(PS: This isn't just a pointless plot point; it will come in handy later.)
Lu Xingchen carefully picked up the scattered dragon bones one by one and meticulously pieced them back together according to the growth structure of the bones.
His spiritual power had already imprinted every detail of the dragon skeleton into his mind. In less than half an hour, a complete true dragon skeleton reappeared in the deep pit, with the joints between the bones fitting together perfectly, just as it had in life.
The moment the skeleton was laid to rest, Lu Xingchen could feel that the sorrowful aura emanating from it faded considerably, and even the energy fluctuations on the dragon bones weakened significantly.
"Phew~ That's all for today. I'm going to go and cultivate for a while. I'll continue burying you tomorrow."
Lu Xingchen feigned exhaustion, exhaling a breath of stale air and wiping away non-existent sweat from his forehead.
He didn't have to dig the soil himself, but the delicate work of assembling the keel required his full concentration, so it wasn't an easy task.
Then, a flash of silver light appeared around Lu Xingchen, and the power of spatial teleportation was activated. His figure instantly disappeared from the original spot and once again rushed towards the location of the Dragon God's Soul at the bottom of the thousand-meter-deep pit.
That place is the core of the entire Dragon Valley. Even though the Dragon God's soul has no intelligence and is just a pure energy body, the Mountain Dragon King and the Light Dragon King dare not easily probe into it with their divine sense.
For Lu Xingchen, that was undoubtedly the safest hiding place.
"Looks like I'll have to come here to clock in every day from now on." Lu Xingchen looked at the seven-colored dragon soul floating not far away and shook his head helplessly.
He then activated "0-01" to fix his position, and used the teleportation pendant to lock the coordinates. With a flicker, he traversed space and returned to his own small dimension.
In the days that followed, Lu Xingchen's life gradually became more regular.
Every day, he would go to the Dragon Valley plane on time and use the "brainwashing" excavator to bury the dragon bones while secretly using his virtual personality to invade the dragon souls of the two dragon kings under the guise of talking to himself.
After all, it was once a god. Even though it is now just a remnant soul and its spiritual power has degenerated to the Spirit Realm level, it is still better to be careful in everything.
"Boom!"
The roar of the excavators became the best cover; the continuous noise, like fine rain, washed over the Dragon Soul's mental barrier day after day, gradually weakening its resistance.
He was like the most patient hunter, choosing the moment when mental fluctuations were weakest under the cover of noise every day, turning his virtual personality into an invisible blade, slowly and steadily penetrating into the depths of the dragon soul.
