Chapter 1054: Chapter 67: Spiritual Spring, Ninth-Rank Floater, Sprouting Void Seed! (8)
"I sensed an artifact’s fluctuations inside the Nine-star Fire Prison. I now have the authority and wish to explore it," Zhao Xing said.
"Won’t you be in danger? I’ll go with you!" Long Xiao said.
"What use do you have staying here?" Bai Yunwu shouted, "You don’t have the authority; staying here will only be a burden."
Long Xiao gloomily touched his precious sword.
Seeing this, Zhao Xing sent a secret message: "Long Xiao, once you and the White Dragon King go outside, take charge of the dragon ship I left there."
"I’ve left a letter on it. You and the White Dragon King will sail it back to Gu Ting Royal City and find Fate Officer Ji Si; he’ll know what to do."
Since Emperor Jing wanted to test his loyalty, he couldn’t keep the Limitless Sword Embryo and Huge Divine Weapon.
But he also left a letter for Ji Si, suggesting that Long Xiao should inherit the Limitless Sword Embryo because he is more suitable.
As for Xia Jing, he belongs to the Qi Sect, and from the start, he used techniques involving fists, feet, and fingers.
He also left a suggestion that the Huge Divine Weapon could be used by King Shenluo.
If Ji Si doesn’t accept the suggestion, regardless, the user who gets the artifact will owe him a favor.
There are plenty of artifacts for other professions; he originally planned to use them to forge goodwill. If Long Xiao doesn’t use it, he can find another one later.
He carries the Kunyuan Divine Hoe with him, so it’s not possible to give it away. He plans to break through to the second grade here in Dragon Court and use it himself.
"Alright, I understand," Long Xiao nodded. "Be careful."
"Rest assured, I know my limits," Zhao Xing nodded.
...
After parting with the group, Zhao Xing began to explore the Dragon Prison.
"The Nine-star Fire Prison is just a part of the Dragon Prison. It’s a vast place; maintaining the operation of the Dragon Prison is impossible without spiritual energy."
"Most important among them are the Heaven and Earth Spirit Springs."
"Heaven and Earth Spirit Springs are distributed in three places: Dragon Prison, Young Dragon Ais King City, and Misa Palace."
The Springs of Spiritual Energy inside the Dragon Prison primarily ensure the survival of the imprisoned Dragon Kings.
In ancient times, commonly seen spiritual energy was forged into springs, sustaining the sinful dragons’ existence.
"Hmm?" Zhao Xing flew for a while and then sensed a sudden burst of insight.
He soon saw a piece of micro-land, unlike the desolate land where Bai Yunwu and others were; the land ahead had a trace of greenery.
In the center of the land, there were chains of secret patterns locking a Dragon Well.
"I’m so lucky to have encountered one," Zhao Xing was overjoyed and quickly flew over.
"Whew~"
Upon getting closer, Zhao Xing discovered this was a piece of land fifty kilometers in radius.
The Dragon Well at the center, just the radius of the wellhead, exceeded a hundred meters.
"This is the place," Zhao Xing quickly rushed over.
"The secret pattern chains here are merely for show."
"Indeed, now what seems precious, Spirit Springs in ancient times were commonplace; who would seal off the Dragon Spring for fetching water this tightly."
Zhao Xing pulled the chains open, as easily as uncovering a well lid.
"Boom~"
A surge of majestic spiritual energy erupted from within.
Due to the nature of spiritual energy, a small portion rapidly downgraded the moment it appeared, transforming into dense primordial energy.
"Pure Essence Projection!"
Zhao Xing didn’t anticipate such a powerful eruption; he instantly enveloped and contained the spiritual energy, effectively replacing a well lid to seal the energy.
"Hiss~" Zhao Xing consumed the spiritual energy greedily, leaning against the well edge with gleaming eyes.
"So much! As expected, the Dragon Court is a wonderful place; the spiritual energy here is so rich, it’s almost liquid! It’s beyond comparison with the previous strands!"
"Hahahaha, it’s all mine, let me absorb!"
Zhao Xing immediately jumped into the Dragon Well, beginning to frantically devour the spiritual energy.
"Boom~~"
The Pure Essence Soil expanded wildly!
The central Floating Vine directly broke through from the Seventh Rank Peak, to the Eighth Rank... Eighth Rank Peak, quickly reaching the Ninth Rank, and still transforming!
"Hmm?" Zhao Xing’s gaze lingered on the floating vine for a moment, then shifted to the mysterious void seed.
At this moment, the exterior of the void seed also tinged with a hint of green.
"The void seed has finally sprouted!"
