Chapter 602 Reaching Dragon Valley Again.
"Is this Dragon Valley?"
At this moment, Xuan Mo and Mu Lin, relying on their own strength, entered the forbidden plain without being discovered by anyone, arriving at the mountaintop where they had entered Dragon Valley last time.
After Mu Lin and Xuan Mo reached the summit, Mu Lin surveyed the surrounding forbidden area. Although this plain was inhabited by soul beasts with dragon bloodlines, he felt that calling this place "Dragon Valley" seemed somewhat inappropriate, a stretch.
"Brother Mo, what about those three Dragon Kings you mentioned?"
Shaking his head, he put his previous thoughts behind him and looked at Xuan Mo with a puzzled expression, asking.
However, Xuan Mo stared at him with an expression as if he were an idiot, and his subsequent question made Mu Lin blush even more. "If Dragon Valley is just this, would it even be my turn?"
"Uh, Brother Mo, you mean..."
Seeing Mu Lin's hesitant expression, Xuan Mo shook his head and went to the spot where he and Ma Hongjun had entered Dragon Valley before.
"Dragon Valley exists as a small world attached to the Douluo Plane, like a folded space."
With that, he pressed the reverse scale given to him by Di Tian into a patch of void. As the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King was injected into it, spatial fluctuations occurred, and the void itself rippled.
The next second, a spatial portal slowly opened from the inside out. If it weren't visible to the naked eye, judging from its aura alone, it would seem as if it didn't exist.
It was clear that the being controlling this spatial portal had reached the pinnacle of control over spatial elements.
"Let's go, Dragon Valley is inside."
With that, he stepped inside first.
After realizing what was happening, Mu Lin followed closely behind.
Dragon Valley.
"Buzz..."
As Xuan Mo and Mu Lin emerged from the spatial portal, the scene before them was that of Dragon Valley.
Xuan Mo showed no reaction, appearing completely accustomed to it.
Mu Lin, on the other hand, felt suppressed by the power of this small world the moment he stepped into Dragon Valley; his martial spirit was completely unusable. But then, he felt his soul undergo a sublimation.
Every cell in his body seemed to be rejoicing.
This state lasted for half a minute before Mu Lin gradually recovered, but the joy in his eyes was undeniable.
"I never thought I would actually break through."
Although he learned from Xuan Mo that his martial spirit couldn't be used at first because he hadn't adapted to this place, Mu Lin could clearly sense the changes within himself.
Since losing an arm to the evil soul master, aside from being transformed into an evil soul master, he had never had another chance to advance, even after acquiring a soul guide arm.
However, his vital energy was already damaged, which was a significant blow to a Soul Master in his prime.
What he didn't expect was that upon entering Dragon Valley, his cultivation, which hadn't stagnated for so long, actually increased by one level.
This filled Mu Lin with anticipation for his journey to Dragon Valley; perhaps this would allow him to undergo a complete transformation and eliminate the influence of that strange power.
"It seems you've gained quite a bit," Mu Lin said, his expression becoming extremely solemn as he saw Xuan Mo approach. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
This caught Xuan Mo completely off guard. After three breaths, he quickly jumped back and asked in bewilderment.
"Mulin, what are you doing?! Are you crazy?"
To everyone's surprise, Mulin remained solemn. "No, I'm not crazy. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my whole life—no, I could say my life would have ended without you."
"Mulin, you're exaggerating."
"I'm not. I must thank you."
Seeing Mulin's serious expression, Xuanmo's face changed instantly, replaced by a playful grin. He suddenly grabbed Mulin's shoulder and laughed, "In that case, just call me Dad. After all, you don't need anything in return for your son. Don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Mulin was immediately taken aback by Xuanmo's words. He then punched Xuanmo in the chest. "You wish!"
"Hahahaha..."
After understanding Xuanmo's meaning, Mulin didn't insist. He then asked Xuanmo, "What are you going to do next? Go straight there now? Don't you want to rest?"
Mulin's sudden question had its reasons.
Since leaving the cave by the waterfall, Xuanmo and Mulin had been traveling non-stop. They inevitably clashed with the soul beasts in the forbidden plains.
While this didn't significantly deplete Xuanmo's soul power and stamina, his condition wasn't at its best.
Mulin knew from Xuanmo that the trials of the three Dragon Kings would be incredibly difficult.
Facing such a challenge, Mulin believed Xuanmo needed to be in peak condition.
Seeing Mulin's concerned gaze, Xuanmo smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine. My body recovers very quickly now. Besides, after a bit of fighting, my body is warmed up, and I'm in better shape."
Just as they were about to set off, Xuanmo suddenly frowned and looked ahead.
Not far from them, a powerful cloud of dust rose.
Within the dust, a strong fluctuation of soul power emanated. The surge of soul power was no weaker than Mu Lin's when it wasn't suppressed.
"Brother Mo, be careful."
Mu Lin's expression changed upon seeing this.
Xuan Mo shook his head, "It's alright, it's not an enemy. Besides, if we were really attacked, you'd be the one to be careful."
"Cough cough..."
Mu Lin touched his nose upon hearing this, his expression becoming somewhat embarrassed.
As Xuan had said, he couldn't use his martial soul or soul power. If they were in real danger, Xuan Mo would have to shield him.
But Mu Lin, having reached the Soul Saint level, quickly composed himself. Although Xuan Mo had said that, Mu Lin's tense nerves didn't relax.
The next second, "Roar!"
A dragon's roar came from the dust not far away.
Immediately afterward, a dark golden figure emerged from the dust.
It was a giant dragon flapping its wings. Its dark golden scales shimmered under the light.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Mo frowned…
