Episode 1 – The Ring of the Coiled Dragon Chapter 19 – The Spirit of the Coiled Dragon (Next)

The Pu’ang Empire was founded a very long time ago, as early as more than eight thousand years ago was born, the entire Pu’ang Empire maintained nearly three thousand years, but ultimately was destroyed. The territory of the Pu’ang Empire back then was the sum of the territories of the Holy Alliance and the Dark Alliance today.

It could be said that the 12 kingdoms and 32 principalities west of the Beast Mountain Range were all part of the Puang Empire’s territory in the past, so one could imagine the vastness of the Puang Empire’s territory.

However, the Puong Empire had long since been extinguished ah!

“More than five thousand years ago?”

This old man with white hair froze slightly before letting out a sigh, “It is impossible to accurately feel the passage of time in the Ring of Earth, I never thought that when I came out of the Ring of Earth, my homeland would have already passed away more than five thousand years ago.”

“Old grandpa, what did you say? I’m confused.”

Linley felt as if his head was in a muddle at this time, this old grandpa in front of him coming out of nowhere and saying that he was a Saint Realm Magus of the Puan Empire, which had been extinguished more than five thousand years ago. Was there anything more bizarre and ridiculous than this?

Linley even went so far as to wonder if he was dreaming.

“Little one.”

This white-haired old man looked at Linley and said with a smile, “This ring on your chest is the divine artifact I used back then, the ‘Ring of Earth’.”

“Slow, slow!”

Linley immediately said with his head held high, “What Ring of the Earth, this ring on my chest is a ring left to me by my family’s forefathers, it’s called – the Ring of the Coiled Dragon!”

“Ring of the Coiled Dragon? Is its original name the Ring of the Coiled Dragon?”

The old man said in surprise.

Linley was stunned.

“Original name, what original name?”

Linley looked at the old man in confusion.

This old man then smiled, “Oh, this Ring of the Coiled Dragon should have been named by you, or by your forefathers. Speaking …… of this ring, when I first discovered it, I looked up all kinds of information and didn’t find out its name, and then I went AWOL and directly named it the ‘Ring of the Earth’. As for its original name, I don’t know either.”

“Oh, old grandpa you named it yourself as well, then now that it’s mine, I’ll name it ‘Ring of the Coiled Dragon’.”

Linley was stubborn.

“Good, good, let’s call it the Ring of the Coiled Dragon.”

The old man said with a smile, not arguing with Linley.

“Old grandpa, tell me, what happened when you came out of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon?”

Linley continued to inquire.

The old man smiled and said, “In the 4280th year of the Yulan Calendar, I ……”

Hearing this, Linley was secretly shocked, “4280 years? It’s 9990 years this year.”

“In the year 4280 of the Yulan Calendar, I encountered my old rival, the Saint Realm Magus ‘Hamlin’, and the two of us fought each other. I didn’t expect that there was another Saint Domain powerhouse sneaking up on me in the dark …… In the end, I was defeated, and I didn’t want my soul to be captured and tortured by my enemy ‘Hamlin’, so I sealed my own soul in this earth… …’Ring of the Coiled Dragon’.”

The old man told the events of that year.

“The Ring of the Coiled Dragon is very magical, it doesn’t seem to have the slightest breath at first glance, but its function is catching up to that of a divine artifact. I sealed my own soul in it, and Hamlin and the others searched for so long without finding me, thanks to this Ring of the Coiled Dragon.”

The old man said with a smile.

Linley secretly nodded.

The Ring of the Coiled Dragon looked very ordinary indeed at first glance, and Linley, as the heir to an ancient family, also had some eyesight.

Normally treasures, they all had some elemental aura to them. But the Ring of the Coiled Dragon was like withered wood.

“Old Grandpa, you said that more than five thousand years ago, you were sneak attacked by a Saint Realm Magician and another Saint Realm powerhouse, and ended up sealing your own soul in the middle of this ‘Ring of the Coiled Dragon’? And this Ring of the Coiled Dragon is still a treasure comparable to a divine artifact?”

Linley said eventually.

“Right.”

The old man couldn’t help but smile and nod when he saw that Linley understood.

“Then how did you come out of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon, old grandpa?”

Linley looked at the old man in confusion.

The old man smiled and explained, “Actually, when I self-sealed my soul in the Ring of the Coiled Dragon, I also became a soul spirit in the Ring of the Coiled Dragon. It exists as a host to the Ring of Dragon. Unless someone becomes the master of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon again, I will never be able to come out of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon.”

“Become the master of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon?”

“Yes, it’s the drop of blood on the Ring of the Coiled Dragon.”

The old man laughed.

Linley frowned and muttered, “Blood dripping onto the Ring of the Coiled Dragon?”

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Linley suddenly remembered that when he had been smashed by a stone on his head to create a wound, the blood had stained his clothes and neck, and it was presumably stained on this Ring of the Coiled Dragon as well.

“Oh, then I am the owner of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon.”

Linley nodded.

“Right, you became the master of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon before I was able to come out of it and feel the aura of this Yulan Continent once again.”

The old man also had a smile on his face, “Right, little fellow, I just told you my name, what’s your name?”

Linley smiled brightly, “My name is Linley, Linley Baruch!”

“Linley, nice name.”

The old man said with a smile.

“Old grandpa, are you going to be bound by the Ring of the Coiled Dragon forever, unable to regain your freedom?”

Linley was a little intolerant.

The old man nodded with a smile and said, “Linley, you must know that normally when people die, their souls enter the underworld! And after I died at that time, because I was a Saint Realm Magus myself, my spiritual power had become substantial. It was only then that I was able to resist the call of the Underworld for a short period of time, and took the opportunity to self-seal myself in the middle of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon. And there’s only one way for me to detach myself from the Ring of the Coiled Dragon right now – consume all my spiritual energy.”

“Consume all of your spiritual energy?”

Linley was somewhat puzzled.

“Spiritual power is a human term, and the undead are also known as ‘soul power’, when spiritual power is completely consumed, the soul will automatically dissipate. That is to say, …… when my soul dissipates, it is the time to break away from the bondage of this Ring of the Coiled Dragon.”

The old man said blandly, “But it’s good now, even though I can’t leave the Ring of Discorded Dragons by three meters because of the Ring of Discorded Dragons binding, it’s still pretty good.”

Linley’s heart trembled.

Suddenly, Linley felt some pity for this old grandfather in his heart.

“Hehe, Linley, I’m already satisfied. You don’t know …… if my soul had been captured by the ‘Hamlin’ in the first place, I would be worse off than dead.”

The old man sighed and said.

“Old Grandpa, your name is Delin Corvette, can I call you Grandpa Delin?”

Linley suddenly said.

Delin Corvette, a great Saint Realm Magician during the time of the Puong Empire, with a status so high that it was ranked in the top five in the entire Yulan Continent at the time. It was only the despicable sneak attack of that Saint Realm Magician ‘Hamlin’ along with another Saint Realm powerhouse that caused Derinkovot to fall.

However ……

Derinkelwalt had no children or grandchildren in his life. Now hearing Linley address him as Grandpa Delin, Delin Corvette’s heart, which had been lonely for thousands of years, suddenly felt warm.

“Good, good.”

Delinquent Corvette was also happy in his heart at this time.

Linley suddenly had a flash of surprise in his eyes as he said, “Grandpa Delin, you just said that you’re a Holy Realm Magician, so can you teach me to learn magic?”

Linley’s heart ‘fluttered, fluttered’, the person in front of him was a Saint Realm Magus from over five thousand years ago.

In Linley’s mind, he couldn’t help but conjure up the huge body of the ‘Velociraptor’, the terrifying scene of the ‘Dance of the Fire Serpent’, and the endless boulders that fell from the sky. As well as that proud silhouette with its feet on the black dragon.

How I longed for the day when – I too could stand on top of the black dragon’s head and soar between heaven and earth.

Derlin Corvette white beard arched, eyes lit up and said, “That is certainly possible, your Grandpa Derlin is the greatest Earth System Sanctuary Magician, and among the various systems of magic, the Earth System …… that is the most powerful!”

Old Delin’s entire body was in high spirits when he spoke of magic.
