Chapter 1067: Chapter 69: Heaven-Bestowed Qi Fortune, Sealing the Dragon Egg, Forging the Divine Artifact! (Part 7)
"But the ultimate challenge seemed unchangeable; both Tang and Ao still received a relatively difficult task."
"However, this can save the experts of our dynasty a significant amount of time..."
"Additionally, for some unknown reason, rumors have suddenly spread from the Great Snake Country that the White Bone Sect has racked up enormous debts..."
"According to spies, even the Secret Technique of the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate has been pawned..."
...
The 16th year of Da Zhi, spring.
Zhao Xing had already spent three years at the Misa Palace.
"It’s about time to leave Misa Palace."
"I’ll visit two more places, the Aisi Royal City and the Fuming Temple, then head to Heavenly Dragon Island to seek a breakthrough."
"My accumulation is now sufficient. With the help of three Ancient Coins and Heaven-granted fortune, I should easily enter the Second Grade Heavenly Fortune Realm." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The Heavenly Fate Realm and Third Grade Primordial Soul Realm are not fundamentally different.
The only difference lies in the fact that in the Heavenly Fate Realm, the Qi Fortune is primarily of the seventh degree!
"By combining the comprehension of heaven and earth with one’s own fortune, one can understand how to cultivate in harmony with fate."
"As they say, ’Heaven’s fortune is my fortune,’ and this marks the beginning of distorting the Heaven and Earth Rules."
"In higher levels of the Heavenly Fate Realm, one can apply Qi Fortune within Secret Techniques, enabling predictive combat." Zhao Xing left Misa Palace via a stone cup transmission. He flew through the passage, his mind deep in thought.
"In initial stages of the Heavenly Fate Realm, battles feel like seeking enemies in the void; hundreds of moves can change in an instant, and perhaps a thousand moves may land without truly hitting the opponent."
"By the later stages of the Heavenly Fate Realm, reaching the point where Heaven’s fortune aligns with my own is truly terrifying."
While pondering, Zhao Xing had arrived in a new space.
The surrounding world was equally ravaged, similar to the scenes seen in Misa Palace—black fissures, solidified clouds, horrifying earth fissures, and black spears piercing through...
"Aisi Royal City, also known as the Young Dragon City, was where the Dragon Clan civilization of ancient times congregated dragon eggs for incubation and nurtured juvenile dragons."
"But now this tradition has disappeared as well." Zhao Xing surveyed the surroundings.
As far as the eye could see, many nest cities had been destroyed.
The barrier was gone, and Dragon City was dim and dull.
White bones covered the ground; several Dragon King-level skeletons lay over the ruins, seemingly roaring something.
There were also colossal Great Dragon King bones, split in two by black fissures.
Some dragon bones were arranged in bizarre formations, partly belonging to the Dragon Clan and partly indiscernible.
Once a peaceful paradise, now it was a shattered battlefield.
"Let’s see if there are any intact places." Zhao Xing flew swiftly, searching continuously.
Fifteen days later.
"Phew~"
Zhao Xing squeezed through a cave and entered a vast underground cavern.
Inside the cavern, there were many elliptical crystalline jars crafted from Dragon Crystals.
However, the vast majority were shattered.
"There was a battle here too." A hint of desolation emerged in Zhao Xing’s heart. "The defensive battle reached even here; it’s unimaginable."
"Bones of Evil Dragons? It seems a faction of the Dragon Clan betrayed the Dragon Court and launched a surprise attack here..."
"Originally, these crystal jars should have contained a large amount of medicinal liquid, nurturing dragon eggs."
"I need to find the Life Spring crafted by the Ancient Fuming Temple." Zhao Xing searched rapidly.
Leaping over areas resembling garbage dumps, with dragon bone remnants everywhere and ruins of dulled Divine Weapons.
Following his senses, Zhao Xing arrived behind a gigantic door.
"Divine Court Mandate, True Word Holy Order, Gate of Aisi, open!"
Zhao Xing spat out the Law Code and cast the unsealing spell.
"Boom~"
The long-sealed door opened, releasing a burst of Spiritual Energy.
Zhao Xing stood outside, absorbing it for a full month until it completely dissipated.
Carefully, he walked in.
Behind the grand door lay a nearly dried-up Spiritual Spring.
At its center were three crystalline jars, ten times larger than the ones outside.
Coiling Dragons surrounded the crystal jars, with dragon heads directed towards the center.
Sorrow appeared in Zhao Xing’s eyes.
The Law Code within him seemed to utter a low, mournful Dragon Roar.
"This place is the nurturing ground of Dragon Emperor Jie."
"After Dragon Emperor Jie and another true dragon were born, they escaped the crystal jars and left through the Teleportation Arrays on both sides."
"They sensed the external danger, were born prematurely, but the anticipated calamity didn’t transpire; the dangerous and terrifying beings never truly breached this place."
Zhao Xing could see some visions from the Law Code, and, combining them with the current scene, he inferred some conclusions.
However, due to the remoteness in time, only fragmented scenes appeared intermittently.
"The crystal jars on either side were shattered, but the one in the middle remains intact." Zhao Xing looked below.
There was still a layer of Spiritual Spring there, Spiritual Energy bubbling out and encircling the jar.
"The egg of a True Dragon, sealed." Zhao Xing pondered quietly. "After escaping for many years, Dragon Emperor Jie finally grew into a generation’s Dragon Emperor, suppressing the Heavenly Pool and Evil Sea."
"What happened in the interim that led him to seal this dragon egg?"
"Could it be that he believed this dragon egg was very dangerous?"
"Or was it because the true dragon that escaped with him encountered some mishap, serving as a form of protection?"
Zhao Xing could not ascertain, but the seal on this dragon egg was very strong.
The one sealing it was the Dragon Emperor Sealing Curse from the nine great spells!
"Collect!"
Zhao Xing didn’t unseal it, as he had not yet learned the Dragon Emperor Sealing Curse. So, he simply collected the sealed True Dragon’s egg along with the remaining Spiritual Liquid.
As for when to unseal it, that would depend on the situation later on.
