The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

When Li Muchen saw the word "Palace", he immediately remembered Gong Bo's words:

"Do you know why our last name is Gong?"

"Because we came out of the palace."

"You can also understand this word 'palace' as the womb. The womb is the original place where the primordial spirit resides. It is before the sky and the spirit on earth. It is the mother of the pregnant spirit..."

The original abode of the spirit...

Li Muchen once again looked at the two words "Shen Palace" engraved on the door that didn't look like a door at all.

The sky was reflected with a faint red light, and the surroundings of the city were also enveloped by this faint red light that seemed to be non-existent.

The outer wall of the city is not like an outer wall. It is not pointed upward, but bulging, like soft wrinkled skin. The upper side of the wall turns inward, tightening like a flower bud, but not completely covering it.

The dragon was hovering above the city.

A red halo fell on its body, illuminating the dragon scales, which seemed to be bleeding.

Li Muchen walked towards the city gate.

The giant dragon roared, swooped down from the sky, landed in front of the city gate, and blocked his way.

The dragon's majesty and powerful oppression came instantly.

Li Muchen was slightly startled.

He had dealt with this dragon more than ten years ago.

At that time, he had just broken through to the innate realm not long ago, so naturally he was no match for Long.

If the dragon had not been suppressed by the Xuanming Sword at that time, and the dragon might have been grateful to him for pulling out the Xuanming Sword, so it showed mercy to him, otherwise he would have died long ago.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and his level of cultivation is far different from what it was back then.

Over the past ten years, he has seen quite a few dragons, not to mention the flood dragons in the East China Sea, he has also seen the true forms of Zhulong and Xiangliu.

But the pressure caused by the dragon in front of him was the same as it was more than ten years ago, and the suffocating pressure had not diminished at all.

This is too strange. Could it be that the dragon's strength has increased exponentially during this period of time?

Li Muchen shook his head, thinking that this was impossible.

First of all, dragons are different from humans. Dragons rely on the innate advantages of their race. Over a long period of time, they naturally grow into a strong body. Even if they open their spiritual wisdom and embark on the path of cultivation, there is no shortcut to their cultivation. They can only rely on the accumulation of years, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and nourish the dragon pill, just like other monsters.

More than ten years is just a flash of lightning for a dragon. It is not even enough time for it to take a nap.

Since the dragon's strength couldn't have increased significantly, how could Li Muchen have the same feeling as when he first came?

Li Muchen thought of a possibility.

He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and held the Xuanming Sword in his hand.

The dark sword body, reflected by the faint red light around it, appears a bit mysterious.

The dragon looked down at him, its huge eyes like burning red flames, filled with scrutiny and warning.

Li Muchen looked at it and smiled: "It seems that you don't want me to pass?"

The dragon roared, and a stream of hot air rushed out of its huge mouth. The air was steaming and the vision became blurred.

"We are old friends. You must recognize this sword, right? I didn't want to kill you, but if I don't kill you, I can't get in. So don't blame me."

After saying that, he lightly raised the Xuanming Sword in his hand, and a black sword energy tore through the void and slashed towards the dragon's body.

With a "puff" sound, the sword energy drew a black mark on the dragon scales.

Li Muchen was not satisfied with this sword.

With his current strength, he swung the Xuanming Sword with all his strength and a mountain was cut off.

When he first got the Xuanming Sword, the sword intent that had been pent up for a long time was naturally activated. The sword energy rushed three thousand miles and left a long ravine in the wilderness.

He was very shocked at that time, wondering when he would be able to emit such sword energy.

Now that he has such strength, he cannot kill a dragon, not even a dragon scale.

This made Li Muchen even more certain of the origin of the dragon in front of him.

This is not a real dragon, but an image, a reflection.

The stronger you are, the stronger it will be.

Rather than saying it is a dragon, it is more accurate to say that it is the guardian of this secret realm.

Li Muchen admires the creator of this secret realm very much.

Generally, secret realms are guarded by mechanisms, and some secret realms also have guardian spirit beasts.

But no matter how powerful the spirit beast is, or how mysterious the mechanism is, there is a way to defeat and crack it.

But the person who created this secret realm created a dragon in it that shouldn't exist.

This dragon is not only a dragon, it also reflects the enemy's fighting spirit and energy.

If the person who breaks into the secret realm is very weak, he will naturally be no match for a dragon.

If the person coming is very powerful, a true master who can slay a dragon, then the dragon will also become stronger. No matter what, it will be a dragon stronger than you.

With a dragon like this here, no matter who comes, no one can get in.

Because you can't beat it.

Because when you fight it, you are actually fighting yourself. To defeat this dragon, you must first defeat yourself.

Li Muchen recalled the first time he entered the secret realm and fought with the dragon.

From the extremely dangerous situation at the beginning to escaping from the danger in the end, it seemed like a dream.

Now he understood that it was not because the dragon showed him mercy, but because he himself had no intention of killing. If you have no intention of killing and no intention of fighting, the dragon will naturally have no intention of killing and fighting, so it will not kill you.

This is also the cleverness of the person who designed this secret realm. In this way, it will not harm the innocent people who accidentally step into this secret realm, nor will it harm those who are kind by nature.

As for those who are greedy and violent, it will be difficult for them to escape alive from the dragon's claws.

The sword energy slashed on the dragon scales. Although it failed to hurt the dragon, it seemed to be in pain. The dragon's body bent up, and then it let out an angry roar, and violently swung its long tail, lashing towards Li Muchen like a black lightning.

Li Muchen moved his body and dodged left and right in the air, avoiding the sweep of the dragon's tail.

After the dragon counterattacked, it stopped and did not continue attacking.

Because Li Muchen had already put away his will to fight, he had no murderous intent in his heart, and at this moment it was as clear as water and as light as clouds.

Seeing that the giant dragon was motionless, Li Muchen became more certain of his guess.

He raised his head again, and through the giant dragon's curled body, he looked at the two big characters "Shrine" on the city gate.

"I understand!" Li Muchen seemed to be talking to himself, but also to the dragon, "All the methods of cultivation in the world cannot escape the cultivation of the primordial spirit. And the Divine Palace is the foundation of cultivation, the place where the primordial spirit resides. So, what is reflected here is my primordial spirit. And you——"

He looked at the dragon and smiled, "You can see my soul. My magic power, cultivation, and realm can all be used by you, right?"

The huge dragon head swayed gently and its whiskers fluttered, as if responding to him.

Li Muchen smiled again and said, "It seems that I can only seal my Niwan, close the Divine Palace, and seal all my cultivation. I can only rely on this flesh body to have a fair fight with you."
