saint of humanity

"It shouldn't be the case." Long Zun shook his head.

Longtan has existed for many years and has been opened countless times, and there has never been any problem.

But if there is nothing wrong with Longtan, then what is the problem?

Zhu Yin had been in and out of the Dragon Pond several times, so the problem was definitely not with her. Su Yan and Su Yun were both from the Phoenix Clan, and although it was their first time entering, there had been precedents of the Phoenix Clan entering the Dragon Pond to practice, so there would never be any problems.

So, if there is a problem, then there is a possibility.

"Wait a little longer." Long Zun looked down with deep eyes.

Deep in the Dragon Pond, Lu Ye also noticed the changes in this secret place.

As time passed, the benefits he could gain from practicing here seemed to be getting less and less. It was as if the magical power contained in the surrounding fog was becoming thinner.

Su Yan and the others might not be able to feel it, but Lu Ye was practicing with the help of the talent tree, so he could feel it clearly.

He did not feel dissatisfied.

Because even if the magical power remained the same, Lu Ye would not be able to practice for too long.

There is a limit to practicing in the Dragon Pond, and this limit depends on the cultivator himself.

At this moment, Lu Ye felt that he was almost reaching his limit. To put it simply, he was a little too full.

In a short period of time, his own foundation increased significantly. The root cause was the dual growth of soul and body. Not to mention the soul for now, Lu Ye was still able to hold on. The reason was the benefits he gained in the Soul Clan's ancestral land back then.

But his body had grown several times bigger, making him feel vaguely out of control.

If this situation continues, it may not be a good thing.

So Lu Ye felt that he could only practice here for a while at most.

After a few more days, Lu Ye stopped practicing.

He has almost reached his limit. Although he can gain benefits by continuing to practice, what he needs to do now is to control his own hugely changing body as quickly as possible.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly looked in a certain direction and then rushed out.

After a moment, Lu Ye shouted in that direction: "Junior Sister!"

His spiritual thoughts were blocked in the dragon pond, and Zhu Yin was actually very far away from him just now. Under normal circumstances, Lu Ye would not be able to detect her, but he had been maintaining the power of the talent tree, and the invisible roots spread everywhere. It was with the help of these roots that he was able to detect Zhu Yin's arrival.

She must have dived all the way down from above.

"Brother-in-law?" Zhu Yin stopped and looked at Lu Ye in surprise. She obviously didn't expect that they would meet again in Longtan.

The chance of this happening is actually very small.

"What are you looking for?" Lu Ye asked. Looking at Zhu Yin's posture, it seemed that she was searching for something.

"Looking for something." Zhu Yin said mysteriously, "Brother-in-law, come and take a look."

Lu Ye suddenly became curious. What else could be in this dragon pond? It was basically a bottomless abyss. So far, all he had encountered was the mist and nothing else.

But since Zhu Yin said yes, it must not be groundless.

Following Zhu Yin, they sank all the way down. There was nothing around them. If Lu Ye had not constantly activated the power of the talent tree and used its roots to probe for Zhu Yin's location, the two would have been separated long ago.

Until one moment, Lu Ye suddenly showed a look of surprise, because somewhere below, in the thick fog, a point of golden light suddenly came into his sight.

The golden light was extremely dim at first, but as the distance got closer, it became more and more obvious.

It is not dazzling, but it illuminates an area in the boundless darkness.

Lu Ye and Zhu Yin came to a place not far from the golden light, and Zhu Yin said, "That's it!"

Lu Ye looked at it carefully and found that the golden light was actually a golden crystal, the size of a fist, hexagonal in shape, and shining brightly. It was obviously not an ordinary thing.

It just floats quietly somewhere deep in the dragon pond.

What made Lu Ye feel extremely strange was that he did not sense anything mysterious or unusual from this crystal stone.

"What is this?" Lu Ye asked.

Zhu Yin shook her head and said, "I don't know what it is either. No one knows. It has existed since the Dragon Pond. According to the records of our clan, it is speculated that this should be something left by our ancestors."

Lu Ye was stunned: "In that case, why not take it back to Dragon City?" If it is really something that the dragon and phoenix ancestors left in the dragon pond, it must be extremely valuable. There is no reason to leave it here.

"Brother-in-law, look." Zhu Yin stepped forward and reached out to grab the crystal.

A strange scene appeared. The crystal stone looked like a real object, but Zhu Yin's small hand passed through it easily without touching it at all.

It's as if it doesn't exist here.

"It's not that we don't want to bring it back to Dragon City, it's just that no one can do it." Zhu Yin explained while looking at the crystal in front of her in amazement.

This was also the first time she had seen this thing with her own eyes. When she entered the Dragon Pond before, her cultivation was not strong enough to go deep into such a place, so she had only heard of this thing and had never seen it with her own eyes.

This time I came mainly to take a look and broaden my horizons.

"Can't Dragon Lord do it?" Lu Ye frowned. As soon as he said this, he knew he had asked a stupid question. If Dragon Lord could do it, the crystal stone would not be here.

As he spoke, he took a step forward and tried to grab the crystal in his hand.

But the result was the same as Zhu Yin's situation just now. The golden crystal was clearly there, but it could not be touched at all. This was very strange.

But whether observing with the naked eye or sensing with the divine mind, the crystal is clearly here!

"An elder in our clan speculated that this should be an opportunity left by our ancestors in the Dragon Pond. It is most likely a piece of dragon crystal, and the ancestors used magical means to leave it here. Those who are destined can refine it. Brother-in-law, do you want to try it?" Zhu Yin said as she turned to look at Lu Ye.

"You go first." Lu Ye declined.

Zhu Yin came here specially, she must want to try whether she can refine this thing. If that's the case, then of course she should try it first.

"Okay." Zhu Yin took the lead and stood in front of the crystal. She clasped her hands together, held the crystal in her palms, and then closed her eyes and concentrated.

At this moment, Lu Ye was in a strange mood and checked his talent tree.

In fact, when the talent tree saw this golden crystal, it had an abnormal reaction.

What's abnormal is not the talent tree itself, but the fruit of time hanging on the talent tree!

It was constantly flashing, as if echoing the golden light of the golden crystal.

If this piece of golden crystal is dragon crystal, then Lu Ye can almost conclude that this thing was left to him by the dragon and phoenix ancestors.

In other words, it is reserved for those who can solve the Zuyuan restrictions.

So even though it has remained here for countless years, no one has been able to take it away, not even the Dragon Lords of all generations have the ability to do so.

The ancestor probably could have predicted that once the descendants of Dao Shu solved the problem of Zuyuan's restrictions, the Dragon Clan would grant them the benefit of entering the Dragon Pond.

"No!" After a long time, Zhu Yin shook her head and sighed slightly.

The dragon clan has always wanted to understand the mystery of this crystal stone. Every dragon clan member that enters the dragon pond, if they have enough strength, will come to investigate and try to collect it, but no one has succeeded.

Although Zhu Yin didn't have much hope for this, she still felt disappointed when she tried it and it failed.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you try it?" Zhu Yin tilted her head and looked at him.

Lu Ye nodded, took a step forward, stared at the crystal stone, then stretched out his hand and grabbed it. Invisible roots of the innate tree spread out from the palm of his hand and pierced into the crystal stone.

Immediately his brows furrowed.

In his opinion, the Fruit of Time on the Talent Tree echoed with the crystal stone, which was obviously a hint for him to use the power of the Talent Tree.

He only needs to give it a little push to capture it.

It turns out that this is not the case.

The roots of the talent tree passed through the crystal, and there was no feeling of piercing anything solid. The crystal was here, but it seemed not to be here.

What's the situation?
Lu Ye was puzzled.

This crystal stone must have some relationship with the Fruit of Time on the talent tree, otherwise the Fruit of Time would not react. If that's the case, then why is the talent tree useless?

He frowned as he looked at the crystal in front of him, taking in the power of the talent tree and trying to refine it himself.

Also no effect.

However, standing at such a close distance, Lu Ye felt something unusual.

There was actually a very faint trace of time and space power flowing on the surface of this crystal. This power was so weak that it was almost undetectable. If Lu Ye had not once used his human body to reconcile yin and yang and derive the same power, he would have certainly overlooked it.

This is also the reason why he didn't notice it just now, because it is too rare and it is difficult to detect at a distance.

The power of time and space?

Lu Ye suddenly recalled the long river of time that he had seen before. That moment of observation was actually a great inspiration to him.

Combined with what he saw before him, his eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of a possibility.

The roots of the talent tree spread out again. On the talent tree, the fruit of time shone brightly, and the power of time lingered on Lu Ye's body.

The power of the Space Dao Seed is activated, and the power of space is integrated into it.

Once again, with the body of human race, he harmonized yin and yang and evolved the power of time and space.

Zhu Yin watched intently from the side. She didn't have much hope for Lu Ye's actions, but when Lu Ye clenched his hand, she was surprised to find that the golden crystal that had been untouchable was actually grasped directly in Lu Ye's hand.

"Ah!" She screamed and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, fearing that she would disturb Lu Ye.

Almost at the same time as her voice fell, the golden crystal melted in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace.

"Roar!"

When the extremely high-pitched dragon roared out, Zhu Yin's face changed. She felt that her blood and energy became extremely disordered at this moment, and her body became weak.

Her body was uncontrollably thrown away by the invisible impact. She hurriedly stood still, suppressed the discomfort, and when she looked towards Lu Ye again, her eyes trembled.

At the edge of the Dragon Pond, Dragon Lord and the guarding elders who were waiting there suddenly opened their eyes.

Just now, they heard a dragon roar coming from deep below the pool. The sound of the roar made even strong men like them feel a little uneasy, as if a huge mountain was suddenly pressing down on their hearts.

The Dragon Pond is shaking! (End of this chapter)
