Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 620: Found the Earth Gate

Although Zhao Hanxing was imposing like the heavens, Xu Ping’an did not entirely relax his vigilance.

It’s essential always to guard against others, as the imposing might of the heavens is not omnipotent.

If Zhao Hanxing truly intended to plot against him, she certainly had other methods at her disposal.

However, at the moment, Zhao Hanxing’s strength was too formidable, and he could only act according to her words.

"You possess the power of the Dragon Soul, so you can still control the dragon corpse," she said.

"Once I shatter this Puppet Mark, you will fuse with me into the Dragon Soul. I shall devour the essence of the Dragon Soul while you assume the dragon soul’s palatial position and command the dragon corpse," Zhao Hanxing stated.

"All right!" Xu Ping’an thought for a moment before responding.

The dragon before him was the Dragon Soul of the dragon corpse, yet the origin of the Dragon Soul was within it.

To possess the dragon corpse, one must devour the essence of the Dragon Soul and occupy the soul’s palatial position.

Zhao Hanxing was now letting him occupy the palatial position first while she devoured the soul origin.

This was indeed the best method.

However, there was one problem, and that was their perceptions would synchronize for a brief period.

In other words, they would share sensations for a short while.

If Zhao Hanxing were to experience any pain, Xu Ping’an would feel it as well.

Similarly, any pain Xu Ping’an suffered would also be transmitted to Zhao Hanxing.

Regarding this, Xu Ping’an was indifferent.

After all, he was just a Soul Entity at the moment.

"Let’s start, then," said Zhao Hanxing with a resolute look in her eyes.

Xu Ping’an nodded his head.

Zhao Hanxing immediately made a move, her Soul Power bursting forth, instantly condensing into an incredibly sharp Soul Sword.

Zhao Hanxing, wielding the Soul Sword, swung it down in one motion.

In an instant, the terrifying Soul Power transformed into an immensely powerful blade of Soul Sword Light.

Boom!

An earth-shaking explosion resounded.

The Puppet Mark on the Dragon Soul’s surface instantly shattered.

"Quick!"

Zhao Hanxing immediately swooped in and entered the Dragon Soul.

Xu Ping’an promptly followed suit.

The next moment, they both entered the body of the Dragon Soul.

Inside the Dragon Soul, Xu Ping’an quickly found the soul’s palatial position.

With a movement of his consciousness, he took over the position.

The next instant, Xu Ping’an felt a connection with the dragon corpse.

He could clearly perceive everything about the dragon corpse.

Whatever the dragon corpse saw was exactly what he saw.

"What a powerful physical body; this body is easily a hundred times stronger than my own. This sense of flesh and blood being one, just like steel," Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

The physical strength of this true dragon was indeed too powerful.

Having control over the dragon corpse, Xu Ping’an truly perceived the might of the Dragon Soul.

While Xu Ping’an controlled the dragon corpse, Zhao Hanxing also arrived at the soul origin of the dragon corpse.

The soul origin of the true dragon was a small dragon, now curled up.

It contained powerful Soul Power.

Zhao Hanxing did not hesitate and immediately started running her Soul Cultivation Method, advancing towards the soul origin of the Dragon Soul.

She intended to completely devour the small dragon and then fully merge its power with her own.

This process was not easy, as the small dragon would still resist.

As expected, once the small dragon sensed the invasion of Zhao Hanxing’s power, it began to resist immediately.

"Roar!"

The small dragon roared and lunged at Zhao Hanxing to bite.

It must be said that although the small dragon’s Soul Power was only at the Tenth Rank Peak, the power it unleashed when facing a threat to its life was still terrifying.

For a time, Zhao Hanxing could do nothing against the small dragon.

On Xu Ping’an’s side, a deadlock had also formed.

Outside, the crowd joined hands, continuously launching attacks towards the dragon corpse.

These attacks fell on his own body, making Xu Ping’an feel as if someone were merely tickling him.

The dragon corpse’s physical body was simply too powerful, with just the defense of the dragon scales being far stronger than he had imagined.

"Such a powerful body is truly perfect, huh, this is the operational pattern of the True Dragon Power of a true dragon? It seems to be some kind of physical combat technique," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself internally.

He discovered that the True Yuan within the dragon corpse began to circulate through the meridians in the body according to a specific pattern.

Through this power operation, the True Power inside his body started to fuse with the True Yuan.

"Earth Gate?" Xu Ping’an’s eyes suddenly lit up.

This true dragon had opened it.

He didn’t know whether it was innate or opened later on.

Nonetheless, the True Power and True Yuan of the true dragon were able to merge together and did so naturally, without Xu Ping’an needing to consciously blend them.

The fusion of the two powers resulted in an eruptive force that far exceeded the power of ordinary Immortal Elemental Force.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping’an immediately began to perceive the dragon corpse.

Soon, he located the position of the Earth Gate.

"So it’s here?" Xu Ping’an’s face showed a look of surprise.

The Earth Gate of this dragon corpse was actually at the heart position.

"What about the Human Race, could it also be at the heart position?" Xu Ping’an pondered this, suddenly feeling that his guess might be correct.

The outside original body also received this information and immediately began to probe his own heart position.

At first, no discovery was made.

The second time, still no discovery.

"Could I have guessed wrong, and the Earth Gate of humans isn’t located at the heart?" Xu Ping’an mused internally.

He had probed twice and did not locate the position of the Earth Gate.

"No, it must be somewhere in the heart, I just must not have probed it yet; otherwise, the Human Race should have discovered it by now, could it be that one needs to use True Power to perceive it?"

Xu Ping’an mused internally.

The next moment, he began to try using True Power to probe.

The True Power continuously circulated at the heart position.

Xu Ping’an sensed meticulously, not missing a minute detail.

"Found it," Xu Ping’an’s eyes lit up.

He discovered that when the True Power circulated at a certain spot, there occurred a slight stagnation.

It seemed as if some force was drawing it in.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping’an immediately tried to strike that spot with True Power.

Sure enough, there was a looseness there, a bit of give.

"Found it," Xu Ping’an was ecstatic.

He had not expected that taking control of the dragon corpse would yield such an unforeseen gain.

"And there’s this combat technique as well as the cultivation technique of the dragon corpse, the pattern of True Yuan circulation in the body might allow me to deduce the technique of the dragon corpse." With this thought, Xu Ping’an continued his perception process.

As for the battle outside, he only had to dedicate a portion of his attention to it.

After all, he couldn’t exhibit too much intelligence and had to fight on instinct.

So, it was quite easy for Xu Ping’an.

Meanwhile, as Xu Ping’an was deducing the Dragon Corpse Technique, Zhao Hanxing had already ended his battle.

Zhao Hanxing had taken control of the Dragon Soul Essence and began trying to consume it.

This process required some time and had to be done with full dedication.

Time passed by gradually.

With the deduction of the technique, a shocked expression appeared on Xu Ping’an’s face.

"I seem to have discovered some incredible secret," Xu Ping’an exclaimed in amazement internally.

He immediately began to verify his conjecture.
