"A dragon's tomb?"
Upon hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, everyone's gaze once again focused on the hill in the distance . Under closer inspection, it indeed looked like a dragon's tomb from where they stood .
"If it's a Dragon Tomb, maybe the Golden Dragon from 800 years ago is buried at the foot of it . " Duanmu Xingling's eyes lit up and her eyelashes fluttered . It was impossible to guess what she was thinking .
Huang Yanchen said, "Even if we know for sure that Dragon Sarira is at the foot of the hill, so what? We can't get even one step closer to the hill . "
"That might not be true . "
Zhang Ruochen looked at the dragon horn in his hand and said, "The humans and savage beasts died at the foot of the hill because they woke the dragon soul inside the hill . Their souls were shattered by the breath of the soul . "
Although the Golden Dragon had died, its soul had not dissipated .
Just a few hours earlier, Zhang Ruochen's Martial Soul had almost been shattered from the dragon soul's giant roar .
Si Xingkong asked, "How can we avoid the dragon soul?"
"Avoid?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head . "The Golden Dragon was once the stead of the Buddhist Emperor and later it swallowed the Buddhist Emperor's Sarira . Its cultivation is terrifyingly powerful . It would be impossible for us, with our cultivation, to avoid the dragon soul . If we want to enter the hill, we can only do so by worshipping it . "
Zhang Ruochen placed his hands together and bowed deeply towards the hill .
At the same time, he extended his powerful Spiritual Power to communicate with the dragon soul in the hill . As he did so, he recited a passage of Soul-soothing Mantra .
The Soul-soothing Mantra was a basic scroll of the Thousand Buddhas Sect . It was not a martial technique, so it had spread widely . Almost every monk was able to recite it .
Naturally, the Emperor Ming's Palace in those days had also had a copy of the Soul-soothing Mantra . Zhang Ruochen happened to have read through it once and memorized it .
The main purpose of the Soul-soothing Mantra was to calm a warrior's miscellaneous thoughts, as well as evil and killing desires . It brought warriors peace of mind .
If one were to spend a large amount of time listening to monks reciting a Soul-soothing Mantra, it would help strengthen their Martial Soul .
Of course, the Soul-soothing Mantra also had some aggressive quality . If a high-level monk were to recite the mantra, it could freeze a warrior's Martial Soul and lull it to sleep .
Rumor had it that when Empress Chi Yao first brought her soldiers to attack the Western Region, the Buddhist Emperor had recited the Soul-soothing Mantra and put Chi Yao's army to sleep for seven days and nights . The Buddhist Emperor wanted to use this method to persuade the Empress Chi Yao to turn back .
It was unfortunate that the Buddhist Emperor had misjudged Empress Chi Yao's determination . In the end, the army had entered into the Western Region and broken the Thousand Buddhas Sect .
And thus, a monastical order of countless generations was destroyed in a mere moment .
Although the Thousand Buddhas Sect was rebuilt later, it never again reached the level of its glorious past .
Zhang Ruochen was not an enlightened monk . He could only try and hope that his sincere recitation of the Soul-soothing Mantra would have some effect on the dragon soul .
Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi, Huang Yanchen, Duanmu Xingling, Zi Qian, and Chen Xier also put their hands together and knelt on the ground to worship the dragon soul .
The dragon soul would not consider them enemies if they showed enough goodwill .
Zhang Ruochen felt the power of the dragon soul was gradually lessening . He slowly took a step in the direction of the hill .
The others also rose and followed behind him with great care .
Only once the power of the dragon soul had disappeared did Zhang Ruochen stop reciting the Soul-soothing Mantra . In a low voice, he said, "I am going to look for the entrance to the Dragon Tomb . You should hurry to gather Spiritual Dose from the hill . Remember, you must maintain sincerity in your heart, otherwise, you will enrage the dragon soul . "
Hearing that they could gather Spiritual Dose, Chang Qiqi could not wait any longer . He quickly dashed up the hill .
Guoguo was quicker than Chang Qiqi and already on the hill . Seeing the Spiritual Dose, he began to eat and drink with relish .
With the exception of Zhang Ruochen, everyone went up the hill to gather Spiritual Dose .
The hill was full of rare treasures . The Spiritual Dose here could cure illness, heal injuries, raise cultivation, and increase longevity .
It was equivalent to a huge fortune .
"Crimson Coral, Crimson Coral, finally got you . . . haha . . . "
Chang Qiqi held a one-meter long blood red coral in his hands and stroked it continuously . He was very excited and quickly placed the Crimson Coral into the Spatial Ring Zhang Ruochen had given him .
He went to gather more Spiritual Dose .
Zhang Ruochen also climbed up the hill, but he didn't gather Spiritual Dose . He was looking everywhere for the entrance to the hill .
He soon found a stone wall in the center of the hill . It was very smooth but covered in vines . Many spots along the wall were covered with mud and sand .
Peeling aside the mud and sand, the skeleton of an ancient stone gate was gradually revealed . It was seven meters tall and carved with deep print .
BANG!
He hit the surface of the stone gate with one palm . The print immediately gave off a warm golden light and blocked his handprint .
A layer of rock on the stone gate crumbled down, revealing a small but deep indent . It looked like a keyhole .
Zhang Ruochen was very happy with this development and immediately called everyone over . "Everyone come here, I've found the stone gate entrance into the hill . "
