Jiang Xue hurriedly asked, "What secret?"
Wang Long shook his head and replied, "I can only understand it roughly; I cannot grasp all the details. However, I have memorized all the strokes of the Dragon Script in my mind, and I can study them slowly in the future."
"From what I can roughly understand, it seems to mention the sudden disappearance of the Ancient Dragon Clan, the rise of the Hundred Clans of Demons, and how the human race ultimately defeated the Hundred Clans of Demons to regain the Dragon Heritage and unify the world once again."
Jiang Xue asked, "So what exactly happened?"
Wang Long sighed and shook his head, "This part is more related to the Serpent Demon Clan and is not very comprehensive. It only mentions that the dragon clan suddenly vanished without a trace, while the ancestors of the Serpent Demon Clan had seen the True Dragon one last time."
"At that time, the True Dragon bestowed everything, including various Martial Arts secrets and even the seeds of civilization, to a human. That person was the First Generation Dragon Head. Meanwhile, the Serpent Clan Ancestor, who was hiding nearby, was furious because they were a demon clan closely related to the dragon clan but did not receive any special treatment from them."
"Thus, the ancestor of the Serpent Demon Clan fabricated a lie that spread widely within their clan and has persisted for thousands of years without anyone daring to question it."
Wang Long sighed and continued, "The ancestor of the Serpent Demon Clan told his people that the Serpent Clan originally received the dragon clan's inheritance but was robbed by a young human. They then used this power to help humans rise rapidly. Naturally, the Serpent Demon Clan was furious and launched several wars against humans. However, as humans gradually rose in power, the Serpent Demon Clan found themselves at a disadvantage and dared not challenge them anymore."
"Yet this lie has been passed down until today; all descendants of the Serpent Demon Clan still believe that it was the First Generation Dragon Head who snatched away the True Dragon inheritance from their ancestor, thus viewing all humans as irreconcilable enemies!"
Jiang Xue sighed deeply after hearing this: "So there are so many hidden secrets behind this. No wonder only the clan leaders throughout history could enter here at their deathbeds; this way, it could strengthen the Serpent Demon Clan's resolve to resist humans while preventing this secret from spreading."
Wang Long sneered and said, "It's not just that; in addition to being fabricated, the story of the Serpent Clan Ancestor also reverses black and white! The true historical truth is that he allied with several other demon clans to jointly seize the True Dragon inheritance from the First Generation Dragon Head, with each demon clan obtaining a part of that inheritance! Among them were Martial Arts secrets like the thirteen volumes of Supreme Secrets of Heaven and Earth, Dragon Script, and Heavenly Book!"
Jiang Xue couldn't help but be astonished. Although she was not as knowledgeable as Wang Long, she certainly knew about the legends surrounding Dragon Script and Heavenly Book.
"The Dragon Script and Heavenly Book are said to be the essence of the entire Ancient Dragon Clan, embodying countless years of wisdom from observing Natural Way by dragons. They possess immense power capable of changing heaven and earth. But... does such a secret really exist? It should just be an old legend passed down through generations!" Jiang Xue hesitated.
Wang Long shook his head: "I might have doubted it before, but this ancient stone coffin does not lie about dragon clan scripts. It seems that there are thirteen volumes of Dragon Script and Heavenly Book; I wonder how many demon clans have seized them and where they have ended up now..."
Jiang Xue suddenly said, "So, does that mean there should be a part of this Heavenly Book in our Dragon City?"
Wang Long replied in a deep voice, "I'm afraid there is more than one volume. After all, the First Generation Dragon Head obtained the secret teachings from the True Dragon, and... what we refer to as Dragon Techniques, various cultivation secrets, should also have originated from this Heavenly Book."
"Since that's the case, why doesn't the Serpent Demon Clan make this Heavenly Book public? Wouldn't it help their clansmen improve their cultivation and give them a better chance against our Dragon City in future battles?"
Wang Long pondered for a moment. "I suspect there are a few reasons. First, this Dragon Script and Heavenly Book are too profound. Although they have seized part of it, their foundation is unstable. They cannot analyze it like the people of our Dragon City do with the interpretations from the First Generation Dragon Head and our ancestors, transforming it into methods accessible to everyone. Secondly, they might also fear that it could be leaked or lost! Regardless, from what we saw earlier with people like the White Serpent and Azure Python, these Serpent Clan members also possess some Dragon Arts and Techniques, but they seem strange and bizarre. It seems they have derived them from this incomplete Heavenly Book."
Jiang Xue slowly stepped forward, her autumn-like eyes fixated on the mysterious characters within the stone coffin, her gaze radiating a hint of fervent light.
Wang Long understood her thirst for power and sighed inwardly but said aloud, "This Dragon Script and Heavenly Book are indeed extraordinary. I only glanced at them briefly, yet when compared to our Family Tradition's You Long Step, I gained a deeper understanding of that technique. Given your exceptional talent, Jiang Xue, if you can memorize it thoroughly, it will greatly benefit your future cultivation."
The two fell into silence for a moment, focusing their attention on the characters above the stone coffin. Jiang Xue was silently memorizing while Wang Long began to study other Dragon Scripts around them, hoping to find a way to escape.
After a while, Wang Long suddenly smiled and said, "Perhaps there is hope..."
Jiang Xue came back to her senses and looked at him. "What is it? Have you found a way out?"
Wang Long shook his head with a smile. "Not exactly. However, the last few lines of this Dragon Script say that besides the clan leaders being able to enter at their deathbed, there is another situation in which one can enter this forbidden area."
"And that is when the entire Serpent Demon Clan faces annihilation; they can lead all their clansmen into this forbidden area. According to this Dragon Script, behind this stone chamber lies an even larger cave containing weapons manuals and elixirs that can allow the clansmen to counterattack; furthermore, if they truly cannot withstand it, there is also a secret exit..."
Jiang Xue was taken aback. "A secret exit? So there really is a way out to the outside world?"
Wang Long smiled. "It seems so; however, we don't know if we can open it. It doesn't seem that simple..."
At this point in their conversation, they decided to explore the cave behind them first. Wang Long felt a stir in his heart and reached out his hand to grasp the gem that was emitting light.
Suddenly, a bright light flickered from the stone coffin, striking towards his hand like a snake, tracing an extremely strange trajectory in the air.
Wang Long smiled and flicked his wrist to evade it, but it seemed to instantly activate all the mechanisms of the stone coffin. Countless beams of light sprang to life, like ten thousand snakes awakening, all either writhing or shooting straight towards Wang Long's arm.
Jiang Xue secretly worried from behind, feeling somewhat annoyed at Wang Long's recklessness.
However, Wang Long appeared calm and composed, his wrist moving back and forth among the beams of light. At times he resembled a dragon soaring through the sky; at other times, he was like a coiled snake lying in wait. Although those beams of light looked bizarre and fierce, none touched him in the slightest.
Jiang Xue then realized that Wang Long was using their own method against them. The beams of light were all moving according to the trajectory of the Dragon Script on the walls of the coffin, while Wang Long was responding with equally strange movements. In this back-and-forth dance, he was contemplating the secrets of the Dragon Script, deepening his understanding of it.
Thinking this, Jiang Xue fell silent as she observed the chaotic yet seemingly random trajectories from Wang Long's wrist, trying to comprehend their hidden meanings.
Suddenly, Wang Long let out a hearty laugh. With a swift motion of his wrist, he retracted it in an instant and had already grasped the Gem in his hand.
The beams of light following the Dragon Script quickly dimmed without the support of this Gem. Seizing the opportunity, Wang Long took the Gem out from the stone coffin, illuminating the entire cave for a moment.
This Gem had a muddy yellow hue, resembling an egg yolk. It looked heavy and substantial, likely a treasure related to earth attributes. Holding the Gem in his hand, Wang Long smiled lightly at Jiang Xue and said, "The space ahead is becoming increasingly vast. Since this is the Serpent Clan Forbidden Area, there must be many hidden treasures. Let's hurry and take a look around!"
