Chapter 38 CHAPTER 37 : The Evergreen World

" What! Soul devouring dragon?" Ai exclaimed loudly in Joey's mind.

"Sister Ai, is it bad news?" Joey asked seriously.

" Hey, stop talking to me for now. Otherwise, that geezer will know of my presence. I will explain to you later." Long Ai spoke and kept quiet again.

" Hey boy, what is your name? " The old man already asked him.

" Senior, my name is Tang Xhuangzong. I prefer you call me 'Joey'." He replied politely.

" Senior, I am Tang Mie lien. We are siblings." She also introduced herself.

" Good good, hahaha. I am called Long Hong. It's nice meeting you guys. " The old man laughed and introduced himself.

,m " Senior Hong, why don't you check my sister's root-like you did to me." Joey requested.

" Alright, hey girl come and stand before me. Also, don't try to resist, okay?" Hong said.

Mie lien nodded and stood before him calmly.

Then, Long Hong continued the same process and another green aura entered inside her body.

Inside the heart of Mie lien, there are also two roots. The green aura scans her dragon's root first. He could see a white dragon slumbering and coiled with its body. He couldn't see its head though. He tried to see the head of the dragon but the female human-shaped root screamed and destroyed the green aura completely.

" These two siblings are really freaks. Twice they break my strongest aura. " Hong Long murmured to himself.

" Senior Hong, does my sister have any problem with her dragon root?" Joey asked him

" I won't say it's a problem. But her dragon root is hurt somehow and slumbering now. Also, what is wrong is her other root, it is very protective of the dragon root. Alright, take these two space rings, all my inheritances are inside those rings. Also, there are four rooms in the hall. Those are the martial room, apothecary room, workshop room, and lastly the cultivation room. You can train there, now." Hong explained.

" Senior, can you tell me something about this place first?" Joey asked.

" Alright, I will tell you from the beginning. I came from the Ancient Armament Wasteland. Our world was one of the thousands of worlds in the lower plane. Many uninhabited planets around our world are very rich in cultivation resources. Accidentally, someone from another world found the resource belt around us. The news of this quickly spread through all the other lower worlds. So, many of their peak-level experts from those various worlds came here. Afterward, they discovered our world. They thought it would be easy for them to monopolize those resources if they colonized our world. So, they started waging war altogether. The war lasted for more than three hundred years. During these periods, many of our geniuses become martyrs, but we are also developing rapidly in these periods. Other details, I can't tell you as I have sworn to heaven. Anyway, we won the war and pushed them all from our territories. This world is one of our border territories called 'Evergreen world'. Later, you will know every detail. I am just a clone, it's time to say goodbye. If possible we will meet again. " The old man said and his body turned into dust and vanished.

Then, the siblings returned back to the hall. Joey found the four rooms that the old man told them about before. He told her sister the details of the room as the description before were all written in dragon's scriptures.

" Xiao di, now we are alone. Tell me everything you know about this dragon's affair." Tang Mie lien demanded.

Then, he told her everything he knew about while skipping something.

" Zi Zi, take these two books." He took out the dragon language and the dragon lore books from his soul sea and gave her.

" What are these for?" She asked.

" Zi Zi, you can learn something about dragons from these books. I think your repeated failure to break through the semi-nascent realm seems to have something to do with your dragon's root. Also, I have two techniques to teach you, why don't we do that inside the martial hall room? " Joey said.

Tang Mie lien nodded. Then, they both entered the room. The room was not big but had enough space to fight for them. There was an array on the wall of the room. Joey approached the wall. Then, he infused his essence qi into the array. As he infuses the essence qi, the gravity of the room becomes thrice of the previous one. Then, he stopped.

" So, this is a gravity array. Good. Zi Zi, look carefully. This movement technique is called 'Dragon soaring the heaven'. It has nine different styles." Joey said. Then, he moved his whole body according to the technique, from the 1st style to the ninth style.

" Zi Zi, shall I repeat again?"

" No, I remember it all." She replied. Then, she started practicing those nine styles one by one. After several minutes, her movement skill quickly improved and even outdone the level of Joey.

Joey looked incredulously at her.

" Look carefully, brat. She can learn anything without effort. That is due to her dragon root." Long Ai spoke in his mind.

"Sister Ai, what is her dragon root? " Joey asked curiously in his mind.

" I am not certain for now. But, one thing is sure, her dragon root is also a legendary level like yours." Ai replied in his mind and kept quiet again.

" Zi Zi, I will teach you another technique. This technique is called ' Dragon punch'." Then Joey demoed the whole process.

" Xiao di, thanks a lot. I will practice those techniques here." She told him.

" Zi Zi, then I will leave for the apothecary room." Joey then excused himself from the room and entered the apothecary room.

Somewhere inside the evergreen world, a dried-up man was currently standing in a very unique posture. He seems to be dead but he breathes in and out after an hour. Actually, he was trapped inside a very powerful array in this world. He had been here for almost 300 years. He still survived without eating and drinking for that long time.
