Chapter 4971 The Immortal Dragon Ball
Standing before the plain, Su Bai did not rashly lead Shen Yue into it.
"What a breathtaking plain! There's actually such a place in the Dragon Nest!" Shen Yue stared at the plain in front of him, holding a silver bowl in his hands, a look of shock on his face.
The plain is covered with the beautiful flowers of the other shore, dazzling in their splendor.
The red spider lily, also known as the Manjusaka, is often referred to as a sacred flower that guides the souls of the dead.
They mostly grow on the banks of the Sanzu River, which connects the underworld and the Yellow Springs.
In the primordial chaos of the universe, the River of Oblivion was once home to a large number of otherworldly flowers.
But the otherworldly flowers in this plain have an even more astonishing aura; they seem to possess an ethereal charm.
After only a short while of observation, Su Bai could feel a mysterious force seemingly drawing his mind.
However, Su Bai's soul and willpower were both incredibly strong, so although his mind was disturbed, there was no obvious impact.
Shen Yue, however, was different. He only had the cultivation of a divine-grade cultivator, and his soul was far inferior to Su Bai's. At this moment, he seemed to be hallucinating, and his eyes became confused. He walked towards the plain in front of him on his own.
Seeing this, Su Bai frowned, pointed a finger at Shen Yue's brow, and shouted in a low voice, "Wake up!"
As if a great bell had struck in Shen Yue's mind, he suddenly woke up, broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly withdrew the foot that was about to step onto the plain.
“Just now… that was…” Shen Yue’s expression was quite frightened.
Su Bai placed a hand on Shen Yue's shoulder. "What did you see just now?"
Shen Yue swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down, and then said, "I saw ten thousand dragons returning to their nest, guarding the supreme realm. It seemed that with just one step, I could gain the support of ten thousand dragons and ascend to immortality..."
As Su Bai had roughly predicted.
Su Bai said, "This is the other shore fairy flower guiding you to reincarnation. If you fall into its trap, you will die prematurely!"
The otherworldly flowers here are special; their magical power weaves an almost real illusion based on people's desires, causing them to lose their way. Once they take that step, they are doomed.
Although Shen Yue was at the Divine level, he had lofty aspirations and never regarded the Divine Realm as his goal, but rather the Immortal Realm.
Thinking that he had almost fallen into a trap, Shen Yue felt a wave of fear and quickly clasped his hands in thanks to Su Bai.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior!" Shen Yue said.
Su Bai nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
Shen Yue asked curiously, "The red spider lily guides the souls of the dead, but I am full of vitality, so why does it also want to guide me?"
“There should be no living beings in the Dragon Nest. They instinctively believe that all those who appear here should be the dead,” Su Bai said.
Shen Yue gasped. "So, we can't step onto this plain?"
Su Bai nodded slightly. He had just used the Wordless Divine Guide to calculate that if he stepped into this plain covered with the other shore fairy flowers, he would have a nine-out-of-ten chance of dying.
The danger was too great, and Su Bai was unwilling to take the risk.
It's likely that someone had visited the Dragon Nest before Su Bai, but they might not have set foot on this plain.
“If we want to continue deeper into the Dragon Nest, there should be another way,” Su Bai said.
He led Shen Yue along the edge of the plain, searching for other entrances that could lead deeper into the plain.
This departure lasted for several months.
For months, they wandered along the edge of the plain, unable to find any other viable path. Shen Yue followed behind Su Bai, maintaining a calm and composed state of mind, and dared not easily look at the other shore fairy flowers in the plain.
Half a month later, Su Bai stopped.
Shen Yue also stopped immediately.
"senior?"
Su Bai squatted down, and in front of him was a yellowish-brown bead-shaped object, half-embedded in the ground.
Su Bai dug the object out, placed it in his hand, and used his divine sense to examine it. He was quite shocked.
Within this bead-shaped object, a world of its own was formed, as if it were nurturing a vast universe, countless stars and celestial bodies, and all sorts of ancient buildings... and its material density was extremely high.
Su Bai's initial assessment is that the level of the inner universe within this bead-shaped object is even higher than the chaotic universe!
This tiny bead contains such a sight!
"Senior, what is this?" Shen Yue asked.
Su Bai handed the item to Shen Yue, saying, "You can take a look for yourself."
Shen Yue immediately released his divine sense, and a moment later he also revealed an extremely exaggerated expression.
"This...this is impossible! This is too shocking!" Shen Yue exclaimed. "A flower is a world, and this single bead contains a universe comparable to the World Forest!"
Su Bai already had a general idea in mind. He said, "This item should be a Dragon Ball. A Dragon Ball is similar to the divine realm of immortals, but there are subtle differences."
"The scale of the inner universe within this Dragon Ball is astonishing; this object is most likely a Dragon Ball from an Immortal Celestial Dragon!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue immediately felt that the object in his hand was so hot that he could not hold it, and quickly handed it to Su Bai.
Su Bai held the dragon ball between two fingers and said, "You don't need to be so nervous. Although this dragon ball is very likely from an immortal dragon in the Immortal Realm, its internal power has long been completely absorbed, leaving only a desolate place with no trace of immortal power remaining."
"I wonder who absorbed the divine power within these Dragon Balls. Perhaps, after absorbing it, they were able to directly reach the Immortal Realm..."
Su Bai muttered to himself.
Such a dragon ball may contain the Dao of an immortal dragon in its entire life. By absorbing it, one can inherit the Dao of an immortal dragon in its entire life.
Although entering the Immortal Realm is extremely difficult, and it is impossible to reach Immortality without one's own path, it is not entirely absolute.
Su Bai said, "Compared to humans and other races, the beast race has its own advantages and disadvantages in some aspects. For example, before the Transcendent Realm, the beast race's talent is superior to that of humans. Some beasts with powerful bloodlines may even be born at the Saint Venerable Realm."
"But once you reach the extraordinary level, the requirements for the Dao become extremely high. Only a very small number of beastmen with bloodlines so powerful that they are unreasonable may be born extraordinary, but it is extremely difficult for them to step into the realm of gods."
The beast race's talent lies in their innate physical abilities, while their acquired cultivation makes them inherently inferior to humans.
The requirements for the Dao are too high for the Divine Realm.
Few orcs can reach this level.
Therefore, even though the Celestial Dragon Clan is powerful, the number of its deities is extremely small.
And the higher realm of immortality...
Even if the number of beastmen and humans were equal, the ratio of immortal beings would probably be difficult to reach one to ten.
That is to say, among the ten immortal realms, there is hardly one beastman; the vast majority are human or other races.
It is precisely because of this that the balance of the heavens has given the beast race some special characteristics, such as the dragon balls of the dragon race.
If a dragon cultivates to the Immortal Realm, its Dragon Pearl can be passed down as an inheritance.
If future generations of dragons can completely refine the Dragon Pearl, they can use it to ascend to the Immortal Realm in one step!
