—------------------—
As long as the soul beasts support Jiang Bai in achieving the supreme god-king position, then...
In this way, the biggest obstacle to the revival of the dragon race—the rules of the divine realm—could be broken!
Jiang Bai was a little stunned by Di Tian’s sudden enthusiasm, but he still smiled politely.
Jiang Li’er pouted, somewhat unwillingly asking,"If that nine-colored crystal bead had flown towards me instead, would I have also been able to pass the Dragon God’s test?"
Jiang Bai thought for a moment, then said sincerely,"Well... maybe. You possess the fortune of an imperial auspicious beast and the bloodline of a golden dragon, so perhaps you really are qualified."
The Mountain Dragon King nodded:"Indeed, some things depend on timing. The Dragon God’s choice has its own profound meaning."
Jiang Li’er puffed out her cheeks, feeling somewhat indignant, but she knew that this was something that couldn’t be forced.
She then thought that it was a good thing that Jiang Bai had passed the divine test.
At least he became stronger, and could better protect her... and them.
"By the way, Di Tian,"Jiang Bai suddenly said seriously, looking at Di Tian,"could you give me some Life Gold?"
"Gold of Life?"Di Tian raised an eyebrow."What do you need this for?"
The Gold of Life is extremely precious ; it is a rare treasure formed from the condensation of the ultimate vitality of the Lake of Life over millions or even tens of millions of years.
the Star Dou Great Forest has now been used to help the Silver Dragon King recover from his injuries.
Jiang Bai explained ,"It’s not that I need it, it’s that the Fire Dragon King needs it. More precisely, it’s that his child needs it."
"What?!"Di Tian’s pupils shrank drastically."You mean... the Fire Dragon King’s child? The one you found in Dragon Valley?!"
Jiang Bai nodded :"Yes. I found her in the core area of Dragon Valley. With the help of the Fire Dragon King, I was barely able to use my martial spirit to bring her into the tower."
"She is in very poor condition ; the dragon egg is dull and lifeless, its life force nearly depleted. The Fire Dragon King said that only the boundless life force of the Metal of Life can restore her vitality and allow it to hatch successfully."
Without the slightest hesitation, Di Tian immediately said,"Then what are we waiting for? Come back to the Lake of Life with me now!"
He raised his hand to tear through space , but then the voice of the Mountain Dragon King rang out again.
"You... are you leaving?"
Di Tian paused, looking at the massive dragon body that resembled a mountain range, and a complex emotion suddenly welled up in his heart.
The Mountain Dragon Clan has guarded Dragon Valley for generations. Now that the entrance to Dragon Valley has disappeared, what will become of this ancient being?
"Mountain Dragon King,"Di Tian said solemnly,"why don’t you come with me to the Star Dou Great Forest? You’ve been alone here for too long. Although the forest isn’t like Dragon Valley, there are still many of your kind there. It’s better than being alone in this desolate place."
The Mountain Dragon King slowly turned its head, its pale purple eyes sweeping across this desolate land.
As far as the eye can see, there are countless broken mountain ridges and shattered rock layers.
Those were all its kin, who over the long years transformed themselves into mountains and eventually returned to dust.
Now, only this remains.
The Mountain Dragon King remained silent for a long time, then slowly shook his head:"The forest... is not suitable for me. I guarded this place to protect the entrance to Dragon Valley. Now that Dragon Valley is closed, I..."
Its gaze fell on Jiang Bai, a resolute glint flashing in its dragon eyes.
"Perhaps... I can spend the rest of my days in a different way."
Jiang Bai’s heart skipped a beat , and he vaguely understood something:"Senior , you mean...?"
The Mountain Dragon King’s massive body began to radiate a soft yet resolute light:"Aren’t you lacking a seventh spirit ring? With over seven hundred thousand years of cultivation, I should... be worthy of your attention, right?"
"You flatter me, senior!"Jiang Bai quickly replied."It’s my honor!"
Di Tian opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, it turned into a long sigh.
The Mountain Dragon King said no more, and raised his head to let out a dragon roar that resounded through the sky!
The voice was desolate and tragic, yet it carried a sense of relief and anticipation.
The sharp dragon roar caused the earth to tremble, and a dazzling red light burst forth from the Mountain Dragon King’s body, transforming into a red halo that instantly spread!
Wherever the red light passed, everything was stained with blood, and time and space seemed to stand still at that moment.
The Mountain Dragon King’s enormous body began to etherealize, and its scales, flesh, and bones gradually transformed into the purest energy and soul essence, converging towards Jiang Bai.
A deep, dark gold soul ring slowly condensed in the air, with thick, mountain-like patterns flowing along its edges.
A soul ring sacrificed over 700,000 years!
Jiang Bai immediately sat down cross-legged, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda appeared behind him. The pagoda shimmered with light and actively drew the dark golden soul ring down.
the Soul Ring attached, the immense power of the Mountain Dragon Origin surged into his body! Jiang Bai felt as if his body had transformed into a growing mountain range, his bones crackling , his muscle fibers becoming stronger through tearing and rebuilding, and his internal organs being enveloped and tempered by thick earth-attribute energy.
Soul power level begins to soar.
71 , Level 72 , Level 73...
...
The space inside the tower.
the Mountain Dragon King entered this strange world along with the sacrifice.
He looked around.
A vast and strange world filled with the rich primordial energy of heaven and earth.
"So this is... that kid’s Martial Soul Space?"
The Mountain Dragon King muttered to himself, still possessing the same calm and composed demeanor as a mountain, but his eyes revealed obvious shock.
"That’s... really peculiar."
Since meeting Jiang Bai, he felt his usually calm mind being repeatedly shattered. This human boy held far more secrets than he had imagined.
Immediately, a faint smile appeared deep within the Mountain Dragon King’s soul.
This place... seems like a pretty good place to retire...
...
outside world.
About an hour later, Jiang Bai slowly opened his eyes.
his eyes opened and closed , a fleeting phantom of a mountain seemed to appear. The aura emanating from him had changed dramatically; it was now heavy, steady, and as imposing as a mountain, yet also restrained and profound.
"How is it?"Jiang Li’er asked eagerly as she leaned closer.
Jiang Bai smiled slightly and stood up:"Very good. Soul power... level 78."
"What?!"Jiang Li’er’s beautiful eyes widened."Why?!"
She painstakingly absorbed the Dragon Cloud and refined the Soul Bone to break through to level 60 , while Jiang Bai absorbed a Soul Ring and directly jumped from level 70 to level 78?! The gap not only didn’t narrow, but it widened even further!
Seeing Jiang Li’er’s puffed-up face, Jiang Bai’s smile deepened:"And... there’s this too."
With a slight thought , a purple-yellow light flashed on his right leg, and a phantom of a soul bone, crystal clear and patterned with mountain-like textures, appeared.
the right leg bone left behind when the Mountain Dragon King offered sacrifices!
The soul bone’s aura was as heavy as a mountain, clearly indicating its extremely high quality.
Jiang Li’er:"..."
She silently turned her head and looked up at the sky.
Di Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and said in a deep voice,"Alright, now that this matter is settled, let’s return to the Lake of Life immediately. Uncle Fire Dragon King’s offspring are of utmost importance."
He raised his hand and tore open space , revealing a stable black rift in front of him.
Bi Ji, holding Jiang Lier’s hand, stepped in first. Jiang Bai took one last look at this desolate land before following closely behind.
He stepped into the spatial rift.
The crack closed, and the four figures disappeared.
The desolate land returned to silence, with only the wind and sand still howling.
