Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

However, within this exquisite seal and transformation ritual, there were several dark chains embedded within it, quietly stealing the energy from the dragon veins and conducting it to other places.

It seems that the centipede, who goes by the alias An Lushan, has found a way to utilize the energy of dragon veins, but has not yet convinced the current queen to develop it, so he can only steal the energy of dragon veins secretly.

This is good news for me. After all, if I fight the centipede alone, I am very confident that I can win. But if the enemy is the entire ancient city of Loulan and I don’t want to kill too many people, the difficulty will increase by more than an order of magnitude.

Considering that I did not have the plan and patience to lurk for several years like An Lushan, I planned to sneak into the underground of the palace and get in touch with the dragon vein energy to determine whether it would help my practice. I was not prepared to have a head-on contact with the Queen of Loulan and An Lushan.

The guards at the Loulan Palace and the dragon vein are not as lax as those outside. Not to mention that An Lushan regards the dragon vein as his own, and he will definitely monitor the dragon vein's energy at all times.

"The palace is heavily guarded. Fenglan, you stay here first. I will go in and investigate tonight." With Fenglan's current strength, it is still impossible to sneak into the dragon vein at the bottom of the palace silently, so I asked him to hide carefully, and I went to investigate by myself.

"Okay, Teacher Hinata." Feng Lan also knew that with her current strength, she would be a hindrance if she acted with me, so she said that she would hide in an abandoned building and would not alert the Loulan guards.

It was easy for me to sneak into the Loulan Palace. After all, a ninja who had been trained in climbing trees and treading water could basically be regarded as a large-sized Spider-Man who could easily avoid the sight of ordinary people.

So I climbed in through a window of the Loulan Palace, walked upside down on the roof of the first floor, and effortlessly arrived at the center of the palace. A large throne was placed in the center of the room, surrounded by rows of benches on the left and right. This should be the place where the Queen of Loulan summoned her subjects and decided the affairs of the city.

Naturally, no one would be here at this time. The queen was in the bedroom on the upper floor, and officials and ministers also had their own residences. If they could avoid the patrolling guards, no one would come to disturb them.

From the outside, there is no entrance to the underground cave in the palace. This is because the existence of the dragon vein is a secret even among the subjects of Loulan. Not everyone knows about the existence of the dragon vein. It can even be said that the number of people who know about the existence of the dragon vein is no more than ten fingers.

However, with my careful inspection, no secret room mechanism could escape my perception. The huge fluctuation of dragon vein energy was just under the throne in the middle, and the entrance passage was also here, blocked by the throne.

I jumped down from the roof silently, reached out and pulled open the heavy throne, and suddenly a blue-purple light came out, which was where the dragon vein was.

I jumped down quickly and pulled up the passage with my backhand to prevent others from noticing the abnormality here. After entering the underground, I found that the space underground was much larger than the stone tower above.

But I didn't care. My eyes were fixed on the dragon vein energy. It was a huge energy mass that flashed with dazzling blue-purple light, filling the entire underground space.

The originally violent earth vein energy, combined with the dragon vein energy formed by the restless natural energy, can exist so stably and provide the necessary energy for the ancient city of Loulan because of the sealing rituals that are spread all around the cave.

I have also touched upon sealing techniques a little bit, and the techniques surrounding dragon vein energy are different from the mainstream sealing techniques in the current ninja world. In essence, it is more like a stabilizer and converter, directing a steady stream of energy to the ancient city of Loulan and maintaining the existence of the Loulan ruins.

Although my target is right in front of me, the seemingly calm dragon vein energy is actually more violent than ordinary natural energy. Once the highly compressed energy explodes, it will definitely be a huge disaster.

Faced with the dragon vein energy so close, I did not act rashly to touch it. Instead, I closed my eyes and concentrated, activating my pupil power and using my white eyes to fully operate, analyzing the essence of the dragon vein energy.

Through the blue-purple light shining outside and the energy entities throughout the cave, I searched for the source of the dragon vein energy, a tiny crack that was small but extremely deep.

The rich earth vein energy slowly overflowed from it, blending with the natural energy of the outside world, and finally transformed into blue-purple dragon vein energy.

After reading this, I understood why Loulan suddenly declined at the peak of its prosperity and then slowly recovered. It was precisely because of the rise and fall of the dragon vein energy.

The ancient city of Loulan is located in a desert area with a harsh natural environment. It was able to develop entirely because of the protection and support of dragon vein energy. However, as Loulan became more and more prosperous, the use of dragon vein energy gradually exceeded the regeneration rate of earth vein energy and natural energy, which was the bottleneck for the development of the ancient city of Loulan.

After the population dropped sharply, the use of dragon vein energy decreased. With the recovery of earth vein energy and natural energy, Loulan did not disappear in the desert.
