A yellow, octopus-like creature was rapidly approaching the bottom of Dragon Eight Island. The Xia Gai Demon Worm was highly efficient in its search, and Wang Qi soon located the guarded Dragon Cave.

Throughout the journey, Wang Qi actually experienced the thrill of piloting a Gundam. As the "Yellow Robed King" operated, he also checked the Path Rank he had programmed, continuously updating the code of this Divine Spirit to make it run smoother. At first, Feng Luoyi didn't think much of it, but soon, he saw the significance of Wang Qi's actions. This "external Divine Spirit exoskeleton" could be promoted throughout the Zhenhai Navy and even the entire Human Clan as a new form of Law.

During this process, Senior Sister Mi continuously observed Feng Luoyi and Wang Qi. Her knowledge in this area was still limited, so she didn't join in the modification work with Wang Qi and Feng Luoyi. However, she had something akin to intuition about it.

Wang Qi was extremely surprised. To him, "intuition" should be something like an algorithm in the subconscious—a national chess champion who occasionally does not think consciously can still naturally make a key move, as if by divine inspiration. If someone has an innate talent for a certain area or domain, there must be a thought process in their consciousness that matches that domain.

But, thinking innately aligned with mathematical logic? What kind of race is this!

Soon, they arrived next to Dragon Eight Island. Below the water's surface of this Volcano Island, there was a peculiar "structure". From the outside, it looked like a giant bell, whole from top to bottom, only the side facing the island had an opening. This opening, round as the moon, was big enough for carts and horses to pass through. However, according to Wang Qi's perspective, the opening seemed disproportionate to the structure. This represents the different perspectives of the Dragon and Human Clans. Dragon Clan's bodies are long and flexible, allowing them to enter through smaller doors, thus their doors had double the height from a dragon's horn to its lower jaw. Human doors, on the other hand, must be taller than a human's height and wider than their shoulder width.

Since he didn't know if there were any traps or lethal restrictions here, Wang Qi cautiously sent out dozens of Xia Gai Demon Worms to scout the path. Even though this place was a residence and shouldn't have any powerful traps, the master of this place was a mighty member of the Dragon Clan beyond the Transformation Stage, to whom Wang Qi was no more significant than an insect—the Zhen Chan wouldn't set up deadly traps at the house front, but setting a few mousetraps or flypaper traps was perfectly normal.

The moment the Xia Gai Demon Worms barely touched the giant door of the Dragon Cave, they were repelled by a mysterious force. Several of the Xia Gai Demon Worms were thrown dozens of feet away but didn't disintegrate. Wang Qi sensed the interaction interface of those Divine Spirits and discovered they hadn't been hit too hard. Although there were some minor internal operational issues, they were not severe enough to cause disintegration.

"Rigid Force, not strong, but enough to injure someone at the Golden Core Stage," Wang Qi judged and then issued an order. The tentacles of the Yellow Robed King immediately extended and embraced the Giant Dragon Nest. The Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell power covering the tentacles and the Guard Power violently clashed—one side stubborn and self-centered, the other both firm and flexible, powerful yet profound, and they were deadlocked for a moment. The area where the tentacles contacted the outer wall of the Dragon Cave immediately erupted into unstable pink light.

"Your power is weak; completely neutralizing it would need… thirteen Two Hours," Senior Sister Mi said.

Wang Qi was quite confident, "No need—if it were something else, I might concede defeat, but these artificial restrictions, I've broken every one I've seen."

Wang Qi didn't have a good solution for restrictions on the Dragon Flow Islands of the Demon Clan, where the spells naturally emerged from the flow of Spiritual Power, but these human-set Laws he could break effortlessly.

The refined Mana was always controlled by the Soul. The process of refining Spiritual Energy into Mana not only imbued it with the properties of the Cultivation Technique itself but also imbued the nature's Spiritual Energy with the characteristics of the Soul, resonating with the thought process, making even Mana susceptible to contamination by the Heart Demon Curse.

As the collision between the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell and the Guardian Spirit Prohibition continued, threads of the Heart Demon Curse power were introduced into the inner workings of the Guardian Forbidden Technique of the Dragon Cave. Soon, the power of the Heart Demon Curse flowed into the internal circuit of the Forbidden Technique, probing its internal structure.

Wang Qi handed these structures over to the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror for analysis, and quickly obtained the correct solution. He then wrote new Spirit Prohibitions into the existing restrictions using the Wanxiang Diagram, injecting new Spirit Prohibitions into the old ones. Subsequently, a layer of soft white light appeared on the surface of the Giant Dragon Nest, gradually weakening the Guardian restrictions, eventually rendering them ineffective.

"Eh…" Wang Qi lightly exclaimed because he realized that this bell-shaped object was not built from earth and stone as he had thought. It appeared to be a Magic Artifact itself, containing various Spirit Prohibitions layer upon layer, vastly different from those of the Human Clan, but indeed a thing of special functionality.

Wang Qi ordered the Yellow Robed King to detach its tentacles. The detached tentacles left on this bell-shaped Magic Artifact continued to input the Heart Demon Curse power, refining the Magic Artifact. Wang Qi then sent the Xia Gai Demon Worms into it to scout out the path, and then he himself entered.

The bell-shaped Magic Artifact seemed to have some mystery, with inner space far larger than its outer volume. There was a polished stone platform here, plain and unsurprising, which considering the shape of Dragon Clan, was probably something like a stool; there was also a huge anvil-shaped Magic Artifact. Wang Qi examined it and found that its Spirit Prohibitions were very rough, with few, scattered Magic Seals, but the entire anvil was saturated with Dragon Clan Essence.

"That's for refining that giant sword," Feng Luoyi recalled the vast sword initially held by a dragon using its caudal fin and judged, "It seems this is the Dragon Clan's Artifact Refining Skill. They don't focus on the exquisite uses of inner seals of the Magic Artifact, but rather maximize the properties of the materials and constantly refine them with their own essence, integrating the tools into their own lives... The materials of this anvil are Sea Sunken Silver and Xuantian Cold Cloud Iron, both good Artifact Refining Materials, enriched by Dragon Clan Essence. You keep it for now."

The tentacles of the Yellow Robed King opened, revealing the internal pagoda. From the base of the pagoda, a beam of golden light shot out, generating a capturing force, and drew up the iron anvil. The moment the anvil was in his hands, Wang Qi was slightly startled to find that its weight was actually ten thousand tons!

"This is just the anvil used for forging giant swords!"

Feng Luoyi shifted her gaze to the inner wall of the bell-shaped magic artifact. The inner wall was pockmarked and extremely rough, resembling crude cast iron. Wang Qi initially thought this was the decorative style of the Dragon Clan, but Feng Luoyi pointed out, "Take a closer look. Can you see any elements of Dragon Clan martial arts in these marks?"

Wang Qi focused his attention on the inner wall and observed it carefully. Soon, he noticed something, "This place is a training ground for that giant dragon! Using intent without strength, purely practicing the moves..."

He stimulated his True Intent in his mind but didn't use his True Power. This way, the power of any move would be greatly reduced. Despite this, that giant dragon still managed to leave marks on the walls of the dragon cave using nothing but Martial Arts Fist Intent!

Moreover, Wang Qi noticed that among these moves, he recognized only about forty percent. Twenty percent were rather blurry, and he had never seen the remaining forty percent.

"That dragon's martial arts are not limited to 'Deep Space'; there must be another martial arts style!"

At this moment, the Xia Gai Demon Worm System suddenly sent a prompt, saying they had found a stone gate underground. There were still restrictions on the stone gate, although they were much weaker. Most of the strength was used to protect the gate itself, seemingly to prevent the residual effects from the training from entering the bedroom. Wang Qi immediately contaminated it with a touch, then went deeper underground.

Behind the stone gate was a narrow fissure, from which hot seawater continuously emerged, seemingly leading closer to the Earth Fire magma. The dragon likely enjoyed the warmth, hence it had carved a cave there to use as a bedroom. The source of thɪs content is NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt

The giant dragon's bedroom was a spiral stone chamber. The water temperature here was very high, around sixty degrees Celsius. The bottom of the giant dragon's bedroom was covered in pebbles, which to the Dragon Clan felt akin to cotton. Most of these pebbles contained rich Spiritual Energy, enough to be used as mid-grade spirit stones even during the Ancient Method era. Even for a Modern Cultivator, it could be processed and transformed to support everyday expenditures. Wang Qi unapologetically collected all the pebbles to serve as a reserve energy source for the pagoda.

After collecting the pebbles, Wang Qi found that the giant dragon had buried two pieces of jade underneath. Each piece of jade was about ten meters in size, radiating immensely strong Qi Intent. Around one piece, the surrounding space expanded and twisted, with countless essences forming clouds of stars. The other piece had a mysterious Qi Intent at first glance it seemed unimpressive, but upon closer inspection, it seeming to contain a vast, illusory world within.

"Items of True Intent Inheritance!" Wang Qi and Feng Luoyi exclaimed simultaneously.

Two pieces of Dragon Clan's True Intent Inheritance! This was the first time the Human Clan had obtained items of inheritance from the Dragon Clan. Moreover, unlike the Dragon Clan Coin Wang Qi had fully refined, these items could be used by everyone. This was equivalent to the Human Clan acquiring a complete set of Dragon Clan technology!

After using the Xia Gai Demon Worm to ensure there was no danger, Wang Qi immediately collected them and sent his spirit into the two stones to understand their mysteries. After a while, he said, "This one is Deep Space Dao, while the other is a spiritual secret technique called 'Fog Demon Path' that elevates Martial Arts True Intent to be used like spells, able to create widespread illusions, disturbing the minds of living beings, breaking and corrupting their Dao Heart—it's very terrifying!"

Wang Qi suddenly felt fortunate. The marks left by that giant dragon on the inner walls of the bell-shaped magic artifact showed no variations in intensity, but the Fog Demon Path is of a purely spiritual nature. The fact that the marks of both techniques looked almost the same could only mean his mastery of Fog Demon Path was even above the Deep Space!

Fortunately, the erosion from Eternal True Color was a full-scale invasion that didn't differentiate between spirit and body; that dragon ultimately hadn't managed to activate the intent of the Fog Demon Path. Otherwise, with the Deep Space annihilating the physical body and Fog Demon Path destroying the spirit, Ai Changguang's prospects would have been grim!

"Deep Space with its broad material attacks, Fog Demon Path with its broad spiritual attacks… looks like the standard configuration for a relic's guards," Feng Luoyi noted. Looking at Senior Sister Mi, who was hugging her head and frowning in thought, she asked, "Mi, do you have a question?"

"A broad area… But from what junior brother described about their power, why do I feel like these belong to a concentrated, subtle approach?"

"…Mi, don't try to apply your standards to ours."

This conversation left Wang Qi slightly confused.

"If Fog Demon Path can only be considered a subtle skill, then what counts as broad area… Senior Sister Mi, what exactly are you..."
