Chapter 3241: The Ning Dragons Are Without Intelligence?

Earlier, Su Li did not think too much about it. However, after he found the sword according to Duan Ling Tian's directions, he could not help but wonder how Duan Ling Tian was able to accurately locate the sword.

"The soul of my Devata Artifact is able to locate other Devata Artifacts in its vicinity in this remnant of a Realm of Gods," Duan Ling Tian replied honestly. He did not hide this from Su Li since he knew Su Li was trustworthy and would not harm him. If Su Li wanted to harm him, Su Li would have done so while they were in the Crimson Sky Kingdom's King City. Su Li would have benefited a lot if he had helped others to kill him at that time.

"The soul of a Devata Artifact?" Su Li was shocked by Duan Ling Tian's reply. He knew how powerful a Devata Artifact with an intact soul was. It went without saying that soulless Devata Artifacts were not a match for it. In the end, he shook his head and said, "Duan Ling Tian, I thought my fortune was good. However, compared to you, it's nothing."

Duan Ling Tian only smiled faintly in response.

Following that, the trio continued to explore the remnant of the Realm of Gods.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian looked at Huan'er and curiously asked, "Huan'er, I remember those people saying that Ning Dragons are without intelligence. How did you communicate with them?"

Duan Ling Tian's question piqued Su Li's interest as well. He had also been wondering about this matter.

Like Celestial Beasts, quasi Divine Beasts like the Ning Dragons should only act based on their instincts. They did not have intelligence.

"Brother Ling Tian," Huan'er explained, "It's easy to mistake Ning Dragons as Divine Beasts without intelligence if one's unaware of certain matters. They don't understand human language so they can't communicate with humans. Therefore, to humans, it seems like they're without intelligence. They despise humans since humans had captured and enslaved their ancestors for generations. Therefore, they would quickly kill the humans they encounter. With this, it's easy for humans to misunderstand and assume Ning Dragons are without intelligence. As a Divine Beast, a matured Ning Dragon is comparable to a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. How's it possible for such a being to not possess even the slightest bit of intelligence? Without intelligence, how could they comprehend the laws?"

Indeed. How could Ning Dragons comprehend laws if they did not possess intelligence? From what Duan Ling Tian knew, Celestial Beasts could not comprehend laws as well if they were without intelligence. If they were Celestial Beasts who had comprehended a law without possessing intelligence, there was no doubt the beast must have regressed to the state where it only acted on its primal instincts after it had comprehended a law.

After listening to Huan'er's explanation, Duan Ling Tian and Su Li were enlightened.

"Duan Ling Tian, since you've already helped me locate a Devata Artifact, I'd like to explore the place on my own. I won't follow you and Huan'er," Su Li suddenly said at this moment. Apart from wanting to explore the place, he wanted to leave because he was afraid Duan Ling Tian would give him another Devata Artifact. Even if he could obtain more Devata Artifacts by following Duan Ling Tian, it was not in his nature to take advantage of another person, let alone his best friend.

"Alright." Duan Ling Tian, naturally, understood Su Li's thoughts. Hence, he did not persuade Su Li to stay. Moreover, the only advantage he had was being able to locate Devata Artifacts. Who knew if Su Li would discover other treasures or fortuitous encounters while he explored this place on his own?

Before they parted, they exchanged Soul Pearls to keep in touch.

…

Outside the entrance of God's Secret Treasure that was guarded by two Ning Dragons.

The young prodigies looked at the door longingly, but none of them dared to move closer to it.

"In just a blink of an eye, four of them have been in there for half a month now. They must have obtained all the good stuff in there, right?" a grassroots prodigy said enviously with a slight frown on his face.

A young prodigy from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect quickly refuted these words. "That's impossible! The Realms of Gods are vast and so is this remnant of a Realm of Gods. Even if they didn't stop moving, it'd still be difficult for them to explore 0.1% of that place."

The young prodigies from the other grade-one forces seemed to agree with these words.

Upon seeing this, many grassroots prodigies who knew nothing about Realms of Gods sighed in relief.

"It's good to know that their early entrance won't affect us…"

"However, unless they're incredibly unlucky, their gains will definitely be more than ours. After all, they have a month in there compared to the three days we have."

Naturally, there were many grassroots prodigies who were jealous and envious of Duan Ling Tian and the other three people.

…

In just a blink of an eye, a month had passed.

"The God's Secret Treasure's entrance will open today! We must cherish the three days we have. Otherwise, we won't gain anything there."

"In my opinion, it's unrealistic to search for Devata Artifacts in there. Therefore, I'm planning to cultivate during these three days."

"That's right. The remnant of the Realm of God is in ruins. Even if there are Devata Artifacts, it's likely that they had been taken by our predecessors."

"That's right. This is not the first time someone has triggered the opening of God's Secret Treasure in the Genius Secret Realm, after all."

The prodigies waited until the Ning Dragons, who were still chained, finally moved to the sides. With this, they were free to enter God's Secret Treasure.

"The two Ning Dragons are still chained…"

"Although they've moved to the sides, they can still attack us, right?"

"That's right. These Ning Dragons are without intelligence. If they decide to attack, we'll surely die!"

After the two Ning Dragons moved to the sides, the prodigies looked at them warily after they exchanged a look.

No one made a move until Feng Qi Qi led the prodigies from the Ancient Phoenix Clan to the door.

When the others saw Feng Qi Qi and the other safely entering God's Secret Treasure under the watchful eyes of the Ning Dragons, they sighed in relief.

Someone asked in confusion at this moment, "Didn't they say Ning Dragons are without intelligence? How did they know it was time to move to the sides and let us enter?"

"I find it hard to believe that they're without intelligence…"

"I agree. They look rather intelligent to me."

While some prodigies discussed among themselves, Baili Hong Fei led the prodigies from the Baili Clan into God's Secret Treasure.

At this moment, many grassroots prodigies almost made their moves and entered God's Secret Realm.

Those who were hesitant no longer waited after seeing so many people crossed over safely.

At this time, Ye Wu Dao from the Profound Sky Dao Sect and Yun Ye from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect were leading their members to God's Secret Treasures. Many grassroots prodigies moved with them as well. However, something dramatic and shocking happened when the prodigies from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect were in front of the door and in between the two Ning Dragons!

Roar! Roar!

Two thunderous roars rang in the air as the Ning Dragons shot out a beam of light from their mouths, killing Yun Ye and all the prodigies from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect and a few grassroots prodigies who were caught in the crossfire.

Those who had yet to enter God's Secret Treasure were shocked and frightened upon seeing this.

"Wh-what's going on?"

"The members of the Thousand Hands Devil Sect are dead?"

After witnessing the deaths of the prodigies from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect, the grassroots prodigies and the members of the Profound Cat Clan who were about to make their entrance hesitated again. It was not just them, the others did not dare to make a move as well.

Meanwhile, the Ning Dragons lazily moved back to the sides after killing the prodigies from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect.

"Why did they kill everyone from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect?"

"It's really strange. The Ning Dragons didn't attack anyone else, but they only attacked the people from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect."

"Why do I feel like it's deliberate?"

"Do you think this has something to do with Duan Ling Tian?"

"That's possible! Duan Ling Tian and that woman next to him have become a target of the Thousand Hands Devil after they killed Yun Xiao, the only son of the Sect Leader of the Thousand Hands Devil Sect. Moreover, the Ning Dragons didn't hinder Duan Ling Tian's entrance to God's Secret Treasure. It seems like this matter is related to Duan Ling Tian and that woman."

"Preposterous! How's that possible? Don't tell me you think they asked the Ning Dragons to let them pass and also asked the Ning Dragons to kill the prodigies from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect?"

"That's right! Ning Dragons are without intelligence after all."

"Do you really think they're without intelligence?"

…

Half an hour had passed since the prodigies from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect were killed. During this time, no one dared to enter God's Secret Treasure yet.

At this moment, a few grassroots prodigies finally steeled themselves and entered God's Secret Treasure. From the beginning until the end, the Ning Dragons did not even move when they entered God's Secret Treasure.

Upon seeing this, everyone was relieved.

The people from the Profound Cat Clan and the others who had yet to enter finally made their way to God's Secret Treasure.

Despite feeling relieved, all of them grew even more confused. Why did the Ning Dragons only kill those from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect? Was it just a coincidence or was it deliberate? If it was deliberate, did it have anything to do with Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er?
