From ancient books, Shen Qing learned that although the dragons were powerful in combat, they had great difficulty in reproducing.
Therefore, she could empathize with the joy in the chant.
Han Ze grew up healthily under the care of his clan. The melody of the first half of the chant was quite lively, as if the elders of the clan were celebrating the growth of the young dragon.
But in the second half, the melody suddenly became passionate.
When Han Ze was about to come of age, he had to go to the dragon's inheritance land to receive his inheritance.
However, when all the dragons gathered at the inheritance land, something unexpected happened.
The human race allied with the demon race and besieged the Dragon Abyss. The adult dragons of the dragon clan fought desperately to protect the inheritance land and the young dragons, but none of them survived.
Just after Han Ze received his inheritance, when he opened his eyes, all he saw were the broken limbs and corpses of his clan members.
He let out a mournful cry with all his strength.
Finally, in endless remorse, he closed his eyes forever.
The melody of the last half of the chant was sad and heavy, which made Shen Qing's heart ache.
She never expected that this would be the final outcome of the dragon clan.
Shen Qing didn't know whether the story in the chant was true or false, but in her heart, she already believed half of it.
Every part of a dragon was a treasure. Dragon bones could be used as medicine, and dragon tendons could be made into weapons. Moreover, their combat power was feared by the world.
If the human and demon races had set their minds on the dragon clan and joined hands to exterminate them, Shen Qing thought it was quite normal.
But although it was normal, Shen Qing didn't approve of it.
Destroying the entire dragon clan for personal gain was simply unacceptable to the will of heaven.
There was sadness in Shen Qing's eyes as she placed her hand on the ice prism.
If the story in the chant was true, then this huge ice prism in front of her was Han Ze's dragon's breath.
She didn't know who had sealed his dragon's breath here. After billions of years, the dragon's breath had actually given birth to a precious sword.
Or rather, because of this sword, combined with the dragon's breath and the dragon vein here, the Sword Tomb had been born, allowing all the swords to sense this place.
"How... can I help you?"
A faint sigh sounded beside Shen Qing's ear, familiar yet strange.
As if having some kind of spiritual connection, Shen Qing involuntarily asked, "Han Ze?"
The sigh grew stronger, as if in response.
"I'm deeply sorry about the destruction of the dragon clan. As a junior, I have no way of knowing the truth about what happened billions of years ago, nor am I capable of changing it. But you guided me here. What do you want me to do for you?"
The sigh turned into a dragon's roar, faintly uttering a few words.
"Spiritual bones..."
"Revenge..."
Shen Qing was shocked. "You want me to avenge you? Is it because I have the spiritual bones that you guided me here?"
"But what should I do? Your enemies were from billions of years ago. After so much time has passed, how can I find them?"
The dragon's roar came again.
"Dragon Abyss... find them..."
Dragon Abyss?
The dragon's roar turned into a sigh again and gradually dissipated in the air.
Shen Qing urgently said, "Senior, how can I find the Dragon Abyss? Who should I find?!"
"The sword... will guide you... find the Dragon Abyss... avenge the dragon clan..."
Before Shen Qing could say anything, the giant ice prism in front of her cracked.
In a moment, the huge ice prism shattered right in front of Shen Qing, and the sword in the center of the ice prism slowly floated towards her.
Shen Qing stretched out her hands, and the sword slowly landed in them.
The sword felt cold to the touch and had no scabbard.
There was a dragon-shaped totem engraved on the hilt of the sword. The blade was as cyan-blue as the ice prism, crystal clear, as if it were a thin piece of ice being waved. The blade also reflected a silver dragon scale pattern.
Shen Qing tried to wave it a couple of times and found that the sword seemed to have been in her hand for a hundred years. It felt very familiar.
It was that simple to obtain the sword...
Shen Qing always felt a bit unreal, but then a heavy feeling weighed on her heart.
She had obtained this sword and accepted it, which meant she had agreed to the dragon clan to find the Dragon Abyss and avenge them.
This task was truly a long and arduous one...
First, Luo Ling had told her about the Demon Abyss, and now the dragon clan had entrusted her with the matter of the Dragon Abyss. She, Shen Qing, was really a busy person.
Wait...
Demon Abyss...
Dragon Abyss...
Billions of years ago, the human and demon races had joined hands to attack the Dragon Abyss and wiped out the dragon clan while they were all at the inheritance land.
The human race had always lived on the Nine Wastelands Continent and had never changed in billions of years.
But the Demon Abyss got its name because the demon race had gathered there...
Was there any connection between the Dragon Abyss and the Demon Abyss?
"Shen Qing, Shen Qing!!"
"Sister! Wake up quickly!!"
Shen Qing felt her body being shaken violently, and a feeling of nausea welled up in her chest.
She opened her eyes and found herself standing in the center of the formation. There were no ice prisms around. Li Xian and Xian Shiyu were looking at her with worried expressions.
Just as Shen Qing thought she had fallen into another illusion, a cold feeling came from her hand.
She looked down and saw that the sword she had obtained from the dragon's breath was quietly held in her hand.
"This sword..."
Seeing Shen Qing come to her senses, Li Xian and Xian Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister... you really scared us!"
"Just now, you walked here, but you stood there stiffly, closed your eyes, and your mouth made some strange singing sounds. But it actually sounded quite nice..."
"No, that's not the point. You were also crying with your eyes closed for no reason, looking full of sorrow."
"The song from your mouth also changed with your expression. At first, you were smiling, but in the end, you looked as if you had seen your father's murderer."
"Brother-in-law and I thought you had gone crazy."
Shen Qing stared at herself in disbelief and pointed at herself. "I was really like that just now?!"
Li Xian nodded. "After a gust of wind, this sword just appeared in your hand out of nowhere. We don't know what happened either."
Shen Qing tilted her head and looked at the sword in her hand, feeling that it was extremely cold.
She switched hands to hold the sword and looked at the blade, which reflected a silver light.
"I saw a dragon..."
Xian Shiyu's eyes widened, and she asked curiously, "Sister, is that really what a dragon looks like? Did the dragon clan give you this sword?"
Not knowing how to answer, Shen Qing pretended to be mysterious and said, "This is a gift from the dragon clan."
Hearing this, Xian Shiyu's face showed admiration again. "Sister, you're so amazing!"
After briefly dismissing Xian Shiyu with a few words, Shen Qing saw Li Xian looking at her worriedly. She shook her head to signal him not to ask.
"Sister, this sword is really beautiful. What's its name?"
Shen Qing thought for a while. Remembering that this sword had appeared because of Han Ze's breath, she blurted out without thinking, "Its name is Han Ze..."
Before she could finish, the sword in her hand emitted a strong chill, almost making Shen Qing unable to hold it.
It seemed that this sword didn't like this name.
"You don't like it... then I'll change it..."
"Let's call it... the Ice Sword!"
"Ah... it's too cold... it doesn't like it either... then I'll change it again..."
