"Is this a Dragon Qi Crystal? Let's give it a try..."

Although he obtained what he wanted, Mu Jinyu didn't feel any thrill at this moment.

"Crack!"

He exerted force in his hand and directly crushed the round bead he was holding tightly.

"Whoosh!"

Instantly, a stream of airflow dissipated as Mu Jinyu began to practice the "True Dragon Mystic Taoism," trying to see if he could absorb it into his body.

If he could, it meant he had indeed found a Dragon Qi Crystal.

If not, then it must be something else!

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Finally, as Mu Jinyu activated the "True Dragon Mystic Taoism," a familiar stream of airflow was absorbed into his body, repairing his damaged meridians, Dantian, and more...

"It truly is a Dragon Qi Crystal, it seems I didn't find the wrong place!"

Mu Jinyu murmured softly, his tone very calm, without any sign of excitement.

Then, Mu Jinyu sighed lightly and continued to step forward.

He didn't know how long he had walked when he again felt something hard under his foot. He bent down to pick it up, crushed it, and absorbed it with the "True Dragon Mystic Taoism."

In this way, Mu Jinyu walked for ten days, during which he picked up about thirty or more Dragon Qi Crystals!

He didn't purposely search around to pick up these Dragon Qi Crystals, otherwise, he might be able to find hundreds of them.

For a full ten days, Mu Jinyu did not walk out of this dark and despairing world, which made him very irritable.

With no one to confide in, the whole world seemed to exist only with him, accompanied by despair and loneliness. He couldn't distinguish east from west, couldn't see the road ahead or hope, that despair was almost suffocating, indescribable with words!

After this, Mu Jinyu continued like this for three more months.

At first, after ten days of walking without finding a way out, Mu Jinyu began to run frantically, disregarding everything else, ignoring those Dragon Qi Crystals, even the possibly existing Dragon Ball, wanting only to leave this ghostly place as quickly as possible!

Yet, after running close to a month, he still couldn't escape this dark world, bringing him to the brink of despair.

With the strength of his physical body, running like this, he should have circled the Earth or Kunlun Ruins by now.

Is this dark world truly so vast?

Or was he, after having his six senses sealed, just running in circles in place?

In the following two months, Mu Jinyu no longer ran crazily like that; he began to walk and stop, continuously attempting to take out the Communication Talisman from his Storage Bag to contact others.

This loneliness almost drove him to want to die!

Before this, Mu Jinyu had not been without the company of solitude.

After leaving Yinlong Mountain from Xiang Mantang, Young Master Mu also left, leaving Mu Jinyu living alone in Yinlong Mountain. But that solitude was entirely different from now, he could read, fish, have meals and drinks, and play with whatever he wanted...

But in solitude now, he could do nothing!

It was like being in a fish tank with only water, as the sole goldfish living in it, even ignored by a cat.

"Whoosh..."

After half a year in this dark world, Mu Jinyu fell into utter despair, giving up the thought of escaping, collapsing on the ground, feeling a desolate desire to wait for death.

Lying there, another half-year passed by.

Mu Jinyu, filled with despair, found that he couldn't even die.

Though he hadn't eaten or drunk, couldn't absorb Spiritual Energy to replace energy intake, somehow he resiliently survived.

During this half-year, many memories kept surfacing in Mu Jinyu's mind, regarding his childhood, and he even began to remember his father.

Followed by a brief time at the orphanage, then life for him and his teacher at Yinlong Mountain!

Next came his experiences after leaving the mountain, meeting Xu Qingya, Mei Yinxue, Gu Xiyan, Wen Rou, and others...

"No, I can't passively wait for death like this, they're still waiting for me to return, I must go back..."

Lying on the ground, Mu Jinyu's murky and dim eyes gradually revived with light, finally struggling to get up and continue moving forward.

This time, he wasn't so agitated. On seeing a Dragon Qi Crystal along the way, he'd bend down to pick it up, then crush and absorb it.

Unknowingly, ten years passed by.

Mu Jinyu didn't count how many Dragon Qi Crystals he picked up, but there were probably three to five thousand?

Mu Jinyu felt that his body's damaged meridians and Dantian should have healed about seventy to eighty percent by now?

Unfortunately, the only regret was still being trapped here, unable to leave.

Throughout these ten years, Mu Jinyu suspected the existence of some Restrictions, spending a full year searching for a way to break them.

But ultimately, it turned out there weren't any!

"It's been ten years, I don't know how Mother and the others are doing. But they should be fine, they're probably all in the Fanxu Realm too, with lifespans lasting several hundred years, I have enough time to leave here and go back to them!"

Mu Jinyu pondered over something and then spoke softly to himself.

Only by talking to himself like this could he not feel like a Madman, confirming to himself he could still speak and hadn't become a moving Rock.

The decade of lonely experience had completely erased Mu Jinyu's original impatience and impulsiveness, leaving his heart like a pool of stagnant water, creating no ripples over anything...

"Hmm?! What is this..."

One day, Mu Jinyu's foot stepped on several round Dragon Qi Crystals, nearly causing him to slip and fall.

He squatted down, feeling around on the ground.

Before long, he had collected a dozen Dragon Qi Crystals, and there seemed to be more ahead—a whole pile of them!

"Are there so many?"

This unexpected finding convinced Mu Jinyu that he hadn't been circling in place these ten years, but rather that this world was really too vast; he had walked for ten years without reaching the end.

Mu Jinyu was delighted, promptly starting to absorb these Dragon Qi Crystals on the spot.

Then, Mu Jinyu discovered that the quantity of Dragon Qi Crystals here seemed unimaginable...

He spent over a year refining nearly hundreds of thousands of Dragon Qi Crystals but still couldn't reach the end!

This left him extremely shocked!

Then, he touched a cold piece of bone.

"Hmm?!"

Mu Jinyu felt this piece of bone again, sensing that it seemed like a Dragon Claw Bone!

"So a dragon died here, with Dragon Qi Crystals scattered everywhere, yet a great number remained at the site..."

Mu Jinyu spoke softly, then patiently continued exploring slowly.

After a long time, he managed to outline the dragon that was roughly hundreds of thousands of meters long, and sixty thousand meters high...

Extremely large, not losing in size compared to the Silkworm King he had seen!

This made Mu Jinyu understand why there were so many Dragon Qi Crystals at the site.

Then, Mu Jinyu decided to stay put, planning to refine all the Dragon Qi Crystals at the site, which should almost help him restore his strength, maybe even recover his Divine Sense?

By then, he might be able to perform Flight through the Sky and leave this wretched place?

Mu Jinyu settled his heart, patiently refining those Dragon Qi Crystals here.

Time flashed by, and a hundred years passed!

A hundred years of loneliness made Mu Jinyu nearly devoid of desires, he didn't go mad from torment, quietly cultivating in place, occasionally waking up to talk to himself for a while, then continuing with cultivation.

Then, at the end of his hundredth year here, suddenly, a clear dragon roar arose.

Mu Jinyu opened his eyes in surprise, witnessing the darkness in his world fading away, replaced by brightness as a ten-thousand-zhang Divine Dragon Phantom appeared before him.

With a loud and bright dragon roar sounding, the ten-thousand-zhang Divine Dragon Phantom surged towards Mu Jinyu!
