Mortal Cultivator

Wang Lu, a young man in his prime and full of great ambitions, has always had a strong interest and enthusiasm for adventure. He is fearless and dares to challenge all unknowns, as if he is always burning with an unquenchable flame.

One day, by chance, Wang Lu heard a legend about the mysterious dragon territory. It is said that in that remote and mysterious land, there lives a beautiful and charming little white dragon-Bai Xin'er. This legend is like a melodious and exciting song, constantly playing in Wang Lu's heart and touching his heartstrings deeply.

Every time he recalled that legend, a dreamlike picture would appear in Wang Lu's mind: In a fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist, a small dragon as white as snow and crystal clear hovered gracefully in the air. Her agile figure and dazzling scales sparkle with a dazzling light.

As time went by, this legend tightly entangled Wang Lu's thoughts like a curse, making him unable to extricate himself. Finally, after careful consideration, Wang Lu made up his mind to embark on this journey full of unknowns and dangers to explore the little white dragon that haunted him and the mysterious story hidden behind it.

Wang Lu was carrying a heavy luggage, which seemed to carry his stories and dreams along the way. On his waist hung a gleaming and extremely sharp sword. The hilt of the sword is inlaid with gold and jade, luxurious yet simple; the scabbard is engraved with intricate and dazzling patterns, which are like mysterious spells and seem to contain endless power and secrets.

At this moment, it was midday, and the sun was like fire. Under the sunlight, the scabbard emitted strange and mysterious lights, like bright stars falling from the night sky. This light was sometimes dazzling and sometimes dim, as if it was beating with the rhythm of Wang Lu's steps.

He walked alone and slowly along this winding ancient road with firm and powerful steps. The trees on both sides of the road are tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves, forming a rich sea of ​​green. The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, like a beautiful movement played by nature.

Suddenly, a colorful bird jumped up from the depths of the woods, flapped its wings and rushed into the blue sky. Its vigorous figure drew a graceful arc in the air, and then disappeared into the distant sky, leaving only a string of crisp and sweet bird calls echoing in the air.

Along the way, he passed through several quiet and peaceful towns. Everywhere he went, he would look forward to asking the local townspeople for news about the Dragon Clan's territory. However, the responses have been mixed.

When some townspeople saw him, their faces showed horror, as if they had seen some terrible monster. They waved their hands again and again, eagerly advising him not to go to that place full of danger and unknown. There was even a kind-hearted old man who pulled his sleeve tightly and said with a trembling voice: "Young man, listen to my advice! This is not an area that ordinary people can set foot in. If you are not careful, you will lose your life!"

Other townspeople showed a deep respect for him. When asked about the Dragon Clan's territory, they hesitated for a moment, then lowered their voices and mysteriously told about the vague directions and the strange lights they had witnessed. Some people swore that they had seen colorful lights flashing over the distant mountains on a full moon night, while others claimed to have heard bursts of dragon roars coming from the mountains, which were deafening and frightening. Although these few words were not detailed, they made him more curious about the Dragon Clan's territory.

After weeks of long and arduous trekking, Wang Lu finally arrived at the valley shrouded in fog. Standing at the mouth of the valley, he felt as if the air around him had become extremely heavy, weighing heavily on his heart. The thick fog is like a mysterious veil, covering the entire valley so tightly that no one can peek into its true appearance. However, through the hazy mist, Wang Lu could vaguely feel that a mysterious and powerful force was slowly undulating within it.

He knew very well that this place was the only entrance to the legendary Dragon Clan territory. Facing the unknown and dangerous territory in front of him, Wang Lu couldn't help but feel nervous, but more importantly, he was filled with excitement and expectation. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Feeling the cool air filling his chest, Wang Lu felt his spirit lifted. Then, he clenched his fist tightly, as if he wanted to gather all the courage and strength in his palm. Then, without any hesitation, he stepped forward resolutely and stepped into the misty valley. As his figure gradually disappeared into the thick fog, leaving only a series of firm and powerful footprints behind him...

As soon as he stepped into this mysterious place, a strange atmosphere instantly enveloped him. The surrounding environment seemed to be enchanted, becoming dreamlike and bizarre. The thick fog was like a thick curtain, blocking out the sky and the sun, making it difficult to see the road ahead clearly. And in this haze, it seemed that there were countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, quietly watching his every move.

At the same time, waves of low roars like muffled thunder exploded in his ears from time to time. The sound was filled with endless majesty and terror, making people's eardrums hurt and their hearts beating faster involuntarily. Faced with such strange sights and creepy sounds, Wang Lu did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He moved forward lightly, taking every step with extreme caution.

I saw that he was holding a sharp sword tightly in his right hand, and the blade of the sword was flashing with cold light. At this moment, the sword has been unsheathed, and the dazzling light it emits is like the first ray of light at dawn, tearing open a small space in the heavy fog, illuminating the road ahead for Wang Lu. However, even with the sword light protecting him, Wang Lu's vigilance still did not relax at all, because he knew that in this unknown world, unexpected dangers might come at any time.

Suddenly, without warning, a jaw-droppingly huge figure whizzed past his head like lightning. This figure carried an overwhelming gust of wind, sweeping towards him with thunderous force, almost knocking him over directly to the ground. He was struck by the sudden strong wind and became unsteady on his feet. He staggered several steps before barely regaining his balance.

When he finally came to his senses, he quickly raised his head and looked at the sky. In the thick fog, a huge mysterious creature with a pair of huge wings that covered the sky was hovering in the sky. Due to the fog, the specific appearance of the creature was not very clear, but it was just a vague outline that reminded people of the legendary flying dragon. However, is this a real flying dragon? He was not completely sure in his heart, because what he saw in front of him was too illusory and ethereal, and it was difficult to identify it with certainty.

Wang Lu continued to move forward, the fog gradually dissipated, and a majestic mountain range appeared in front of him. The mountains were rolling and jagged with strange rocks, and in the depths of the mountains, there were colorful lights flashing. He knew that that must be where the Dragon Clan was. He quickened his pace and climbed toward the light.

The mountain road was rugged and he almost slipped several times while using his hands and feet. While climbing, he encountered a giant beast guarding the place. The giant beast's body was covered with spikes, its body was like a hill, and its eyes were like huge lanterns, emitting a vicious red light. When it saw Wang Lu, it roared and rushed towards him. Wang Lu nimbly dodged the giant beast's attacks and looked for its weaknesses. He discovered that the moment the giant beast turned around after each attack, there would be a small unprotected area on its back. So, he saw the right moment, and when the giant beast turned around again, he jumped on its back and stabbed the weak point with his sword. The giant beast roared in pain and struggled wildly, but Wang Lu held on tightly and swung his sword again and again. Finally, the giant beast collapsed to the ground and disappeared in a burst of black smoke.

Wang Lu sat on the ground tiredly, took a short rest and then moved on. When he finally reached the top of the mountain, he was stunned by what he saw. Here is a huge valley with countless sparkling gems and crystals, forming gorgeous palaces. Between the palaces, there are all kinds of dragons flying and playing. There is a golden dragon, its scales shine brightly in the sun, and it is extremely majestic; there is a blue water dragon, surrounded by crystal water vapor; and there is a red dragon with flames all over its body, and the air is full of smoke wherever it goes. Get hot.

Wang Lu looked for Bai Xin'er among the dragons and shouted her name loudly. However, the roar of the surrounding dragons was too loud, and his shouts were quickly drowned out. Just when he was feeling a little desperate, a small white figure flew out from behind a palace. It was a little dragon covered in snow-white. Her eyes were like clear lake water, revealing agility and innocence. It was Bai Xin'er.

When Bai Xin'er saw Wang Lu, there was a look of surprise in her eyes. She flew over and circled around Wang Lu. Wang Lu stretched out his hand and gently stroked her scales, his eyes full of tenderness. He told her that he had gone through a lot of hardships to find her. Bai Xin'er rubbed his cheek with her head, as if to comfort him.

However, their reunion didn't last long. The elders of the Dragon Clan discovered the intrusion of a human named Wang Lu. A huge elder dragon flew over, its eyes were majestic and cold. It asked Wang Lu why he came here. This is a forbidden area for the Dragon Clan and humans are not allowed to set foot in it. Wang Lu respectfully told the elders the story of himself and Bai Xin'er, and the special bond between them. But the elder dragon was unmoved. It believed that humans and dragons should not interfere with each other, and Wang Lu's arrival was a blasphemy to the dragons.

Just when Elder Long was about to attack Wang Lu, Bai Xin'er stood in front of Wang Lu. She pleaded with the elder in a childish voice, saying that Wang Lu was her friend and he meant no harm. Elder Long looked at Bai Xin'er, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still insisted on Wang Lu leaving. Wang Lu knew that he couldn't give up just like this. He once again told the elder dragon his determination. He was willing to accept the test of the dragon clan to prove that he was qualified to stay here.

After Elder Long thought for a moment, he agreed to Wang Lu's request. It decided to give Wang Lu a test, and if he could pass it, he would be allowed to stay in the Dragon Clan for a period of time. The test is for Wang Lu to enter the dragon clan's forbidden labyrinth and find a legendary dragon ball. This dragon ball is placed in the deepest part of the maze. There are various dangerous traps and magic circles in the maze, and many powerful dragons have been lost in it.

Without any hesitation, Wang Lu followed a little dragon that led the way to the entrance of the maze. A mysterious atmosphere emanated from the entrance, as if it was going to devour people. He took a deep breath and stepped into the maze.

The walls of the maze were engraved with strange runes, which flashed from time to time and released various magical powers. Some runes would emit sharp ice spikes, and some would ignite blazing flames. Wang Lu carefully avoided these runes and shuttled through the maze with his intuition and agility. At a corner, he accidentally triggered a magic circle, and countless illusory figures suddenly appeared around him, and these figures rushed towards him with their fangs and claws. Wang Lu swung his sword at these figures, but found that they could not be hit at all. He calmed down, closed his eyes, and used his heart to feel the magic fluctuations around him. He found that these illusory figures attacked according to the flow of air around them, so he held his breath and stood still. After those figures wandered around him for a while, they disappeared.

Continuing to go deeper into the maze, Wang Lu encountered a huge trap. A huge vortex appeared on the ground, with a strong suction force in the vortex, and the surrounding stones and debris were sucked in. Wang Lu tried to bypass it, but the range of the vortex was too large. He observed the surrounding environment and found some protruding stones on the wall. He saw the opportunity, and when the suction force was slightly weaker, he suddenly jumped towards a protruding stone, and then with the support of the stone, he jumped again and again, and finally crossed the trap.

After a long exploration, Wang Lu finally came to the deepest part of the maze. In the center of a huge stone platform, there was the legendary dragon ball. The dragon ball exuded a soft light, illuminating the entire space. Wang Lu walked forward and reached out to hold the dragon ball. At the moment he held the dragon ball, the maze began to shake violently, and the surrounding walls began to collapse. Wang Lu held the dragon ball tightly and ran back desperately.

When he rushed out of the maze, the dragons of the dragon clan looked at him in surprise. The elder dragon also showed a look of approval. Wang Lu successfully passed the test. He came to Bai Xiner and showed her the dragon ball. Bai Xiner flew happily, and the other dragons cheered for him.

During the days of the dragon clan, Wang Lu played with Bai Xiner in the valley, and he learned more about the culture and history of the dragon clan. He established a deep friendship with the dragon clan, and his story with Bai Xiner became a good story among the dragon clan, a legend about courage, friendship and transcending racial ties.

Wang Lu never thought that he would meet Bai Xiner's brother, Prince Jinlin, again in this misty Dragon Ridge Peak. Memories of the past surged into his heart like a tide. It was an experience full of fantasy and adventure, but now, the atmosphere seems a little subtle when the old friends meet again.

Wang Lu remembered that when he first met Prince Jinlin, his golden scales shone with awe-inspiring brilliance in the sun, and each scale was like carefully carved gold, noble and gorgeous. His eyes were like the deep starry sky, containing endless mystery and majesty, which belonged to the style of the king of the dragon clan. At that time, Prince Jinlin stood on the top of the dragon clan's palace, overlooking all living beings, and he was just a tiny human intruder.

At this time, Prince Jinlin still exuded the kind of innate domineering aura, but Wang Lu could feel a little different. There seemed to be more vicissitudes in his eyes, and there were some subtle scars on the golden scales, which were traces left by the battle. Prince Jinlin's posture was still upright, but Wang Lu noticed a trace of fatigue in his breath.

"Wang Lu, we meet again." Prince Jinlin's voice was low and magnetic, echoing in the mountains, with an unquestionable majesty.

"Prince Jinlin, I didn't expect to meet you here." Wang Lu bowed slightly to express his respect. He knew that in the hierarchy of the dragon clan, Prince Jinlin had a very high status, and his strength was even more unfathomable.

"Humph, human, you shouldn't come here. This Dragon Ridge Peak has now been eroded by the dark power. It's not a place you can set foot in." Prince Jinlin frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but more of it was dissatisfaction with Wang Lu, a human. He always thought that humans were fragile and greedy creatures, and Wang Lu's appearance made him feel that it was a trouble.

"I have my mission, Prince. Here is what I want to find, and I will not be afraid of the dark power." Wang Lu clenched the sword in his hand and looked at Prince Jinlin with a firm look. He knew that the dragon prince in front of him would not easily believe him, but he would not back down.

Prince Jinlin sneered: "Just you? Human power is like an ant in front of darkness. The dark power here comes from an ancient curse, and even our dragon clan has suffered from it. What can you do?"

Wang Lu did not answer, he just silently walked forward a few steps and stood beside Prince Jinlin. He looked into the depths of Dragon Ridge Peak, which was shrouded in a black mist, and there was a faint strange sound. "Bai Xin'er and I are friends. I promised her that I would protect the place she loves. Moreover, I have fought side by side with your dragon clan. I am not the kind of person who would flee from the battlefield."

When mentioning Bai Xin'er, the eyes of the Golden Scale Prince softened slightly. Bai Xin'er is his most beloved sister. He knows the friendship between Wang Lu and Bai Xin'er, and also knows that Wang Lu has paid a lot to find Bai Xin'er. "You, a human, always have these inexplicable persistence. But this time is different. The dark power has awakened the demons sleeping under the Dragon Ridge Peak. They are constantly pouring out, and our dragon clan has suffered heavy losses."

Just then, a black whirlwind roared out from the valley, with a pungent smell of blood and evil in the wind. Prince Jinlin's eyes shone, and he spit out a golden flame from his mouth and rushed towards the whirlwind. The flame collided with the whirlwind, making a violent explosion. Wang Lu also drew his sword, and a faint light appeared on the sword. He rushed towards the dark creatures that were hit by the explosion.

These dark creatures are like huge bats, covered with sharp thorns, and their eyes are flashing blood-red light. They screamed and pounced on Wang Lu. Wang Lu waved his sword, and the sword flowers flew. Every sword could accurately hit the dark bat. But there are so many bats. They kept coming from all directions and gradually surrounded Wang Lu.

After Prince Jinlin solved the whirlwind, he was secretly surprised to see Wang Lu surrounded. He didn't expect that this human had such courage and strength. He flashed and turned into a golden lightning and rushed into the encirclement. With a sweep of his huge dragon tail, he swept a group of dark bats away. "Human, don't hold me back." Prince Jinlin roared.

Wang Lu did not respond. He and Prince Jinlin fought fiercely with the dark bats back to back. During the battle, Wang Lu found that these dark bats seemed to be controlled by some kind of power. Although their attacks were fierce, they lacked flexibility. He saw the right time and rushed to the densest place of the dark bats, then jumped high, and the sword in his hand released a strong light. The light was as dazzling as the sun. Those dark bats screamed in pain under the light, and many bats were directly destroyed by the light.

When Prince Jinlin saw Wang Lu's move, his opinion of him changed a little. This human does have unique abilities. But he also knew that this was only a small part of the dark power, and the real threat was still deep in Longji Peak.

After a hard fight, they temporarily repelled the dark bats. Wang Lu panted and looked at Prince Jinlin: "Prince, we have to find the source of the dark power, so that we can solve the problem completely."

Prince Jinlin nodded: "Follow me, but you have to be careful, the deeper you go, the greater the danger."

They continued to move forward along the mountain road of Longji Peak, and the surrounding environment became worse and worse. The trees were withered, and the stones on the ground were eroded and blackened by the dark power. From time to time, some small monsters controlled by the dark power rushed out from the dark, but they were easily solved by them.

Prince Jinlin stopped in front of a valley. The valley was filled with thick black fog, and there was a huge figure swaying in the fog. "This is one of the core areas of the dark power, and the legendary dark spring is inside. But there are powerful guardians here, we have to be careful."

Wang Lu looked at the fog and felt a strong sense of oppression. But he was not afraid at all, and he and Prince Jinlin slowly walked into the valley together. As soon as they entered, a powerful force attacked them. Prince Golden Scale spread his huge wings and released a golden shield to protect them.
