However, Zhang Hao received a message from the Thunder Heart Grass.
The power of heavenly thunder that the Thunder Heart Grass could absorb each time was also limited.
"I'll go!"
After receiving this message, Zhang Hao felt as if his butt was on fire. He immediately headed towards the depths of Tianlei Valley. He still needed to rely on the Thunder Heart Grass to pass the test.
Zhang Hao immediately used his movement technique to the limit, heading towards Tianlei Valley.
Fortunately, before the effects of the Thunder Heart Grass disappeared, Zhang Hao broke through the Restriction of Tianlei Valley and reached another valley entrance, passing the Restriction of Tianlei Valley.
Zhang Hao let out a breath. That was close. Looking at the Thunder Heart Grass in his hand, which had absorbed the power of heavenly thunder just now, it was now the size of a thumb. It contained terrifying power within it.
Continuing forward, Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly opened up.
Patches of dragon flowers bloomed in the valley, looking delicate and dripping with allure. Further in the distance was an endless mist, shrouding the place under a veil.
"Hahaha, now this is a dragon flower! There must be at least several hundred dragon flowers in front of me. The dragon flower Si Ya picked is just trash compared to these! Not only are there many dragon flowers here, but they are also large. They have clearly grown for decades," Zhang Hao mused to himself.
Because this second stage was known as a place where no one had been able to enter for nearly a hundred years. Unlike the first stage, as long as one had some luck, passing the test was not a big problem.
These dragon flowers were very expensive. If sold outside, each flower was worth over a thousand lower grade crystal stones.
Therefore, Zhang Hao frantically picked these dragon flowers.
After picking all the dragon flowers, Zhang Hao suddenly frowned. Because he always felt as if something was calling him.
The calling sound seemed to be coming from within that thick mist.
Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment and walked towards the thick mist.
Strangely, the thick mist automatically dissipated as Zhang Hao approached. Basketball-sized black flames surrounded the area.
Could this be the third stage?
Although Zhang Hao didn't know much about Dragon Seeking Valley, he knew from the mercenaries that there were three stages in Dragon Seeking Valley. This was clearly the third stage.
Those black flames were spread throughout the canyon. Zhang Hao could tell that if he was even slightly contaminated, he would be burned to ashes. But the summoning power grew stronger and stronger. Zhang Hao had to go through.
Damn, do you think this can stop Young Master?
No, I'll risk it.
Zhang Hao muttered to himself, using Divine Travel and Swallow Shadow Drift to their limits.
The black flames almost touched Zhang Hao several times, but fortunately, his luck was quite good. He faced several dangerous situations but managed to get through without harm.
Finally, he passed. Although he did, he was also sweating profusely. This time seemed smooth, but the level of danger far exceeded the second time.
"Damn, I almost kicked the bucket! I must drink a bottle of sprite to calm my nerves!" Zhang Hao exchanged for a bottle of sprite and drank it.
"You finally came," a low, majestic voice sounded, like the evening drum and morning bell.
"Who, who's there?"
Zhang Hao was startled by the sudden strange voice and almost peed his pants.
"Kid, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The voice came from the void ahead. But Zhang Hao couldn't see anything, which made him confused.
"Waiting for me for a long time? I don't understand," Zhang Hao asked, somewhat confused.
"You have something of mine on you. You brought it here, and its aura woke me up," the voice said.
Just as Zhang Hao was confused, something flew out from his body. It was the dragon scale he had been carrying with him and hadn't put into the System space.
The dragon scale flew in the void, emitting a vast pressure.
"This... this is your item? Could it be that you are that True Dragon?"
"That's right," the voice said.
"I don't believe it. Didn't that True Dragon perish with his enemy?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise.
"If you don't believe it, this Dragon Lord will make you believe."
"Boom!"
In front of Zhang Hao, a powerful dragon shadow appeared in the void.
This dragon was several thousand meters long, with two horns on its head and a majestic face. Its body was covered in dragon scales. It was coiled in the void.
Zhang Hao's eyes were almost blinded. His voice trembled as he said, "It... it really is a dragon... Oh my god!"
As someone from China, he naturally had great reverence for dragons. After all, the people of China carried the title of 'Descendants of the Dragon'.
"Kid, you brought the dragon scale of this Dragon Clan. It seems we have some connection. What do you wish for this Dragon Clan to do for you?" The True Dragon looked at Zhang Hao.
"Hehe, Lord Dragon Lord, Young Master doesn't want you to do anything, I just want to know the truth of what happened back then. Who was your enemy, why did you fight with him, and didn't you die? Why are you now..." Zhang Hao asked, looking at the True Dragon in front of him.
The True Dragon stared at Zhang Hao for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "First, let me answer your last question. I did indeed die. What you see now is just a trace of this Lord's residual Soul. You don't need to know too much about what happened back then. Knowing too much won't do you any good."
"Lord Dragon Lord, I truly want to know the truth of what happened back then, please tell me!" Zhang Hao said solemnly.
Suddenly, the True Dragon's huge head descended from the sky, stopping about a meter in front of Zhang Hao. Its large eyes stared at him.
Zhang Hao was terrified. This Lord Dragon Lord wouldn't get angry and swallow him, would he? Although this dragon was only a residual Soul, Zhang Hao had no doubt that the other party had the ability to swallow him, and he would have no power to resist.
"Kid, the aura on you is a bit strange. What is your origin!"
The True Dragon's powerful pressure enveloped Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao felt his Soul trembling. It was pressure from the Soul. A vast power surged into Zhang Hao's body, constantly invading. His flesh, bones, blood vessels, and finally his memories. That power seemed to want to explore all his secrets.
Just as that power was invading Zhang Hao's spiritual consciousness, it seemed to open some kind of seal. A terrifying power erupted from his body, accompanied by a roar that seemed to come from an ancient primeval beast.
"Huh!"
The huge dragon shadow in the void disappeared, replaced by a Middle-aged man around his mid-thirties. He looked at Zhang Hao with surprise, his face full of disbelief.
"Impossible... Absolutely impossible... How could you have the aura of the Dragon Ancestor on you?" The Middle-aged man was secretly shocked, his face filled with disbelief.
The aura of the Dragon Ancestor? Zhang Hao was secretly surprised.
Zhang Hao knew that his family had absolutely no connection to dragons. He looked at the Middle-aged man. From the aura on the other party, he could tell that the other party was the transformation of the True Dragon from just now. He respectfully said, "Senior, this Junior doesn't understand what you mean."
"Strange, your Physical Body and Bloodline have no connection to the Dragon Clan, but you possess a Dragon Soul. This is something this Dragon Lord cannot understand," the Middle-aged man muttered to himself.
