Chapter 300
Zhao Xing did not stay too long in the sleeping place of the black dragon 'Zhi', and continued to explore in the Dragon Prison.
Occasionally, he could see some prehistoric ancient dragon corpses:
A huge dragon turtle up to a thousand kilometers long, carrying a piece of land, on which were the bones of hundreds of Dragon Kings.
Dragon head turtle shell, giant land, Dragon King bones, chains across the sky.
The land was parched, completely desertified, and the Dragon Well was completely buried in the yellow sand.
"What a big dragon turtle, it's a pity it's too big, otherwise if I dragged it back as a turtle shell, those Life Officials would have to kneel."
Turtle shells are the best divination materials for Life Officials, and dragon turtles are the best among them.
"This is a 【Prison-Suppressing Dragon Turtle】, at least it's in the Rule Realm, or even the Dao-Establishing Realm. Using its shell as divination material, its functions in some aspects even exceed the Creation Compass." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Above the first-rank Life Palace Realm, there are the Rule Realm and the Dao-Establishing Realm, but these two realms basically only appear during spiritual energy recovery.
The first-rank Life Palace Realm can change rules, but this change is time-limited, basically belonging to the kind where people leave and the tea cools.
The true Rule Realm can last for a long time, but of course, this still has a time limit.
Only the Dao-Establishing Realm can make one's own Dao become a part of the Profound Yellow World's rules. For example, True Person Lihuo, he set the return Dao rule of borrowing fire to walk and walking back.
Another example is the 'land with an owner, do not enter without permission' set by the Taizu.
However, True Person Lihuo died long ago, and there is no Yin God of True Person Lihuo, only a statue. He is not a character of this era at all. The Taizu's Dao-Establishing rule is mainly based on protection.
People die, souls are gone, but the Dao remains and continues to have an impact. This is the Dao-Establishing Realm.
It's just that with the changes in the world, the established Dao will also change in strength.
Zhao Xing feels that the 【Prison-Suppressing Dragon Turtle】 is in the Dao-Establishing Realm, which is purely a guess, not because he sensed anything.
"It's a pity I can't refine it. A thousand-kilometer turtle shell is simply not something I can refine at this time. It requires a team, a blacksmith in the mechanical engineer profession, a Life Official, and a martial artist to work together, and with a divine artifact, it could be refined."
Zhao Xing looked at it for a while, but didn't land on it to check.
Those Dragon Kings had all become withered bones, and the land had all been desertified, without any vitality. Obviously, the Dragon Well had long since dried up, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
Occasionally, he could see some unique wonders:
Flames rippled like water, manifesting everything that had happened in the Dragon Prison in the past in the fire.
For example, showing the situation of the Dragon race being imprisoned, or the scene of being taken out to the Dragon-Slaying Platform to be beheaded.
"The Dragon race civilization is really advanced enough. Playing various warning cases for the criminal dragons, is this to let everyone wash their hearts and be dragons again?"
"Dragon-Slaying Platform, I don't know where this divine artifact went. Could it be that the ancient Dragon race ascended and took away some of the divine artifacts?"
Zhao Xing didn't have to worry about anything here and imagined freely.
In his past life, he hadn't heard of the Dragon race related to the Profound Yellow World in the cosmic version, but there were also bloodline races related to dragons. However, it could not be determined that the ancient Dragon race ascended.
Even the Life Officials deducing and backtracking the past of the Dragon race in the Profound Yellow World had various theories.
"History is too distant to verify." Zhao Xing shook his head.
He flew and searched all the way, and in various imaginations, the life soul in his sea of consciousness had been observing and summarizing each other. Time passed, and soon it was August of the thirteenth year of Dazhi.
In the depths of the Dragon Prison, in front of a stone tablet up to ten thousand meters high, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon up to twenty thousand meters long floated, as if asleep.
Suddenly, it opened its eyes, and light flashed in its eyes, cutting through the darkness in the Dragon Prison. The light was bright, but its body size shrank rapidly, finally turning into a human form.
Floating in front of the stone tablet, Zhao Xing was like an ant, but its aura seemed to be higher than the giant stone tablet.
"It's already August of the thirteenth year of Dazhi."
"Since entering the Dragon Court ancient land in June of the third year of Dazhi, it has been the tenth year. Excluding the half year in the Guting Kingdom, nine and a half years, I have basically stayed in the Dragon Prison to explore."
"Time passes so fast." Zhao Xing sighed. Since reaching the high rank, he felt that time passed very quickly.
High-rank cultivation, a slightly longer retreat, is counted in years.
Zhao Xing felt as if in the blink of an eye, time had slipped away.
"The Dragon Prison is so big that it took me nine and a half years to explore most of it."
"And this is just a rough exploration."
In many places, Zhao Xing just passed by out of caution, fearing accidents.
For example, existences like Great Dragon King 'Zhi', or places like the 【Prison-Suppressing Dragon Turtle】, there are several more in the Dragon Prison.
"Nine and a half years, huge harvest."
"First of all, in the process of collecting spiritual energy, due to the continuous casting of the Profound Yellow Analysis Technique, this strange method actually had new changes in my hands."
"Its purification efficiency is higher. Just talking about the cultivation effect of this analysis technique as one of the four methods of the Self-Identity School, it is already close to the level of a top-level method."
"This method of Mi Fu, perhaps it can continue to be studied in depth." Zhao Xing thought to himself, "Maybe I can practice it in reverse, making it purify vital energy and advance it to spiritual energy?"
In the past life, no one thought of improving this spell in the direction of 【Vital Energy Returning to Spirit】, because at that time everyone was already in an era of abundant spiritual energy.
At that time, spiritual energy was everywhere, and even if the research was successful, it was useless, purely a waste of effort.
"If it were in this era, the result would be different. This research direction will be a direction I focus on in the future." Zhao Xing thought.
"In the future, I will pull Old Man Mi in to work together, so that everyone can leave their names in history."
Even if he doesn't want this name, in short, Zhao Xing's principle is practicality first, and empty names don't matter.
"The second harvest, I have an in-depth analysis of the drawbacks of the Myriad Method Grass Man."
"Thanks to the continuous use of spiritual energy, the deep analysis of the Profound Yellow Analysis Technique, the correct cultivation of the Derived God Art, plus the mutual observation and recording of the main soul for more than nine years."
"I have finally preliminarily confirmed the crux of the Myriad Method Grass Man."
"When I go out, I will write it down systematically, and then find some cultivators of the Derived God Art, call Old Liu, and verify it together."
"I also picked up five treasure-level materials and equipment in the Dragon Prison, the spiritual energy obtained reached an astonishing level, and I also mastered the first spell—Dragon King Bone-Stripping Spell."
"However, none of these have the sense of accomplishment of these two harvests." Zhao Xing stretched his body.
Picking up divine artifacts and digging Dragon Wells, what sense of accomplishment can there be? Just bend over, and you can do it.
The improvement of the Profound Yellow Analysis Technique and the drawbacks of the Myriad Method Grass Man, this is a technical job. "The Dragon Prison is really suitable for research."
"Quiet, no one to disturb, pick up two divine artifacts to relax when there is nothing to do, drink some spiritual liquid."
"Corpses of powerful Dragon races and rule fire chains can be seen everywhere."
"This is not a Dragon Prison? It is clearly an excellent research institute!"
However, no matter how good the Dragon Prison is, Zhao Xing has to go out.
Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to come in the future.
"Old Man Xu will pass away in the seventeenth year of Dazhi. I'd better go out at this point in time to send him off." "By the way, I'll also see Old Liu."
Zhao Xing thought.
Liu Tianning's cultivation speed is faster than in the past life, and he has been receiving inheritance at Shangluo Academy these years. Heaven knows what step he has reached?
Xu Xing is his master. If Xu Xing passes away, and Liu Tianning has any feelings, such as excessive sadness, that would be quite bad.
"Just imagine if Old Liu passed away and couldn't even transform into a Yin God, I guess I would be sad too."
Zhao Xing restrained his emotions, and then re-cast the Ancestral Dragon Transformation.
"Ang~"
The Dragon Emperor's Code was spat out, and the Unsealing Spell was activated!
The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon pointed continuously at the ten-thousand-meter-high stone tablet, golden light flashed, and dragon energy surged. This is the stone gate array of the Dragon Prison, and the method of opening it is recorded in the Dragon Emperor's Code.
"This stone tablet leads to many places, such as the True Dragon Royal City."
"If Dragon Emperor Jie wants to mobilize manpower, he can go directly to the depths of the Dragon Prison through his residence, and then pardon some Dragon races, let them get out of prison early, and work for him."
"Ang!"
Zhao Xing pointed on the Dragon Tablet, and soon the dragon text on the stone tablet combined to form a line of complex characters: Palace of Misa.
The Palace of Misa is located in the True Dragon Royal City.
It is equivalent to a certain palace in the inner court.
In ancient times, Misa was both the place where the Dragon Emperor worked and the place where he lived, because Misa itself contains many meanings.
"(Dragon Language) Palace of Misa, activate!"
As Zhao Xing recited the corresponding spell, the dragon text was quickly combined.
After the Dragon Emperor's golden text was enlarged, it looked like a three-dimensional painting, emitting faint ripples.
Zhao Xing shrank his body and quickly drilled in.
"It's really magical."
After entering the painting, Zhao Xing felt that he was shuttling fast.
"The structure of the Dragon Emperor's golden text not only has inside, outside, up, and down, but also includes changes in space." "It is said that it also involves changes in time."
Involving changes in time, that is, prophets and scholars in the Dragon race similar to Life Officials, who can see the past and the future.
"Hum~"
The swimming didn't take too long, just three days, and Zhao Xing drilled out from the other end of the passage.
It was also a stone tablet, but it was much smaller here.
"Palace of Misa."
After Zhao Xing landed, he found himself above a floating square, with clouds and palaces everywhere in the sky.
The palaces of the Dragon race are basically bowl-shaped and inverted, and the Palace of Misa is no exception.
"The dilapidated Dragon Court, I really don't know what happened." Zhao Xing looked into the distance.
The clouds were black, solidified, motionless, as if they were scenery in the void, or as if they had been torn apart by some terrifying force.
Most of the palaces were broken, like broken bowls.
Some palaces were pierced by a huge spear, and the spear emitted a pitch-black aura.
Dilapidated as far as the eye can see!
"Only the Palace of Misa is relatively well-preserved." Zhao Xing sighed.
He spat out the Dragon Emperor's Code, emitting a faint light, and the pure white Palace of Misa soon revealed a huge square portal.
Zhao Xing drilled in, and inside it was filled with clouds and mist, all of which were seven-colored auspicious clouds formed by spiritual energy!
"Hiss ha~"
Zhao Xing absorbed it desperately.
As he absorbed it, where the mist dissipated, a huge water mirror emerged. It was rippling with ripples, and at the same time, it had a slight induction with the Dragon Emperor's Code.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Xing, who was absorbing to his heart's content, was slightly stunned.
"What is this..."
He walked over curiously.
Then he checked the Dragon Court Code and found the pattern describing the huge water mirror.
"Heaven and Earth Crystal Unsealing Spell, uh, so it's this."
Zhao Xing understood.
It's not a rare item either; it's just a treasure placed by the Dragon Emperor in the inner court to communicate with the Pilgrimage Hall. The crystal combined with the array can allow the Dragon Emperor to hear the opinions of his subjects in time.
To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to the government affairs column for the Dragon Emperor to handle government affairs, and sometimes he will issue some orders and official documents.
Because the Dragon Emperor has long since ceased to exist, the Heaven and Earth Crystals are all operating automatically.
"Its other end is connected to the Pilgrimage Hall. Isn't this the mission hall of the Central Dragon Court?"
"Am I a backend administrator now?"
Zhao Xing's expression suddenly became wonderful.
Because at this time, in the Pilgrimage Hall, there are dragons accepting missions according to the process.
When the Palace of Misa had no owner, the Heaven and Earth Crystal operated according to the automatic screening mechanism of the array.
But now that Zhao Xing has come in, he will hand over the government affairs to him to handle.
Zhao Xing immediately intended to take a look, because those who can come to the Pilgrimage Hall are basically first-rank, or powerful Dragon race Lords.
What is the main purpose of coming to the Pilgrimage Hall? Complete the 【Dragon King Test】.
As long as you complete a certain number of missions, you can get the Dragon Court's reward and prove the Dragon King position.
"Ordinary dragons can't come here. Let me see, who is here?"
"Heaven and Earth Dragon Court, Dragon Emperor's Decree, appear!"
Hum~
The water curtain rippled, and the scene of the Pilgrimage Hall outside was immediately revealed.
As for the outside, they cannot see Zhao Xing unless Zhao Xing takes the initiative to appear.
When Zhao Xing saw the situation in the hall outside, he was happy.
"Yo, Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone, Heavenly Venerable Red Bone."
That's right, the two people waiting in the Pilgrimage Hall at this time are the two Heavenly Venerables of the White Bone Sect who were guarding the Dragon Ascension Platform at the beginning.
Ten years have passed, and I didn't expect these two to appear here.
"Sure enough, they are doing the Dragon King challenge mission. Let me see which ring it is?" Zhao Xing waved his claws, drove the array, and directly checked the 'backend' of the Heaven and Earth Crystal.
"One hundred and three years ago, just finished the ninth ring mission of the Dragon King challenge mission—【Dragon Soul Ice Plain】."
One hundred and three years ago, that was probably completed at the end of the last opening of the Dragon Court ancient land.
"Now he is here to pick up the tenth ring."
"Laugh to death, bumped into me."
If there were no Zhao Xing, then after Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone worshipped, the Heaven and Earth Crystal would activate the array and randomly screen out one from the challenge mission library to issue.
Completing the mission will get the corresponding ring reward.
Now it's different.
"Jie jie jie..."
A sinister laugh came from the Palace of Misa.
In the Pilgrimage Hall, Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone lay on the ground obediently, waiting anxiously for the water mirror to bestow a new challenge mission.
"The Dragon King challenge mission has reached the tenth ring, and there are only two steps left to the Dragon King position."
"Complete the twelfth ring mission, and I can obtain the Dragon King position."
"At present, there is no new Dragon King title in the Southern Barbarian Royal Court. If I can complete the twelfth ring mission in one go this time, I will be the only Dragon King of the Southern Barbarians!"
Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone's heart was hot.
Although Great Zhou obtained authority exceeding that of the Dragon King, this does not mean that the gold content of the Dragon King title has changed!
On the contrary, at this time, the King-level Dragon Title is particularly important in the Southern Barbarian side.
"If I become a Dragon King, the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain will definitely give me many divine artifacts to fight against that mysterious Great Dragon King of Great Zhou!"
"I will become a Divine Venerable, it's a nail in the coffin!"
The situation at this time is completely different from before.
All forces have moved underground, like mice, hiding in dark sewers to survive. As long as they see people from Great Zhou, they try to avoid them.
That Great Dragon King hasn't appeared for nine and a half years. It gave them some breathing room.
All parties are studying how to counter the Pulse-Shaving Decree and the Execution Decree.
The Southern Barbarians, Eastern Ying, and the sect world unanimously believe that only a Dragon King holding a divine artifact can counter the decree.
But they are suffering because no new Dragon King has been born. Even if many divine artifacts were sent in, they were useless.
Therefore, in recent years, the focus strategy of the Southern Barbarian alliance is no longer to compete with Great Zhou for treasures and territory, but the focus is entirely on the 'Dragon King Challenge Mission'.
Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone prepared for ten years before coming to the Pilgrimage Hall to pick up the mission.
It was mainly because this mission was difficult, and it was not easy for him to sneak here, so he had to try to avoid the pursuit of Great Zhou's powerhouses.
Too many tears were shed. A dignified Heavenly Venerable actually fell to this point, having to sneak in to pick up the challenge.
"I hope to randomly get an easier mission." Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone prayed in his heart.
The Dragon King challenge mission has difficulty. If it is too difficult and takes too long, he will have to wait for the next hundred years to come in and do the mission.
"Ang~~"
A moment later, a dragon roar came from the water mirror. Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone listened carefully.
"Lord 'Xuangu', the content of your tenth trial is: bring back at least two treasures for the Dragon Court. The more the quantity, the greater the reward after completing the trial. The highest reward for the tenth ring is the 'Dragon Emperor's Order'!"
After speaking, a square challenge token flew out from the water mirror, recording the content of the challenge mission on it.
"Thank you, Dragon Court, for giving me this opportunity." Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone suppressed the horror in his heart, finished the process calmly, and then left the Pilgrimage Hall.
Just as he went out, Heavenly Venerable Red Bone greeted him.
"Brother, how is it?"
Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone said excitedly: "Great opportunity! Great opportunity!"
Heavenly Venerable Red Bone was a bit puzzled. What was the mission content that made his brother, who was always calm, so out of character?
"Look!" Purple Bone took out the mission token for his junior brother to check.
"What, it's actually the simplest tribute mission?" Heavenly Venerable Red Bone was stunned.
There is no doubt that among the Dragon King trial missions, the tribute mission is the easiest one.
As long as you have money, isn't it simple enough?
Two treasures can pass the tenth ring mission. I'm afraid countless people will swarm in.
After all, they are top sects, and they have the support of the Southern Barbarian Royal Court behind them. Two treasures are rare for an individual, but it's different for them.
"Brother, congratulations." Heavenly Venerable Red Bone was so envious that his bones turned red.
It is indeed a great opportunity. Not to mention that they can ask the Southern Barbarian Royal Court for it, just say that their White Bone Sect has many treasures.
As Heavenly Venerables, they certainly have this authority. Besides, this mission did not specify whether it was a divine weapon or a material.
As long as it reaches the treasure level, it is enough. More importantly, the line behind it:
"The more you tribute, the richer the reward, and you might even get the Dragon Emperor's Order!" The word Dragon Emperor is simply too stimulating to people's nerves.
Ever since Zhao Xing summoned Dragon King Yin Xiu to resolve the war in the Fire Prison plain, many materials about the Dragon Emperor have been dug out.
All parties are frantically digging for historical materials, and now any treasure related to the Dragon Emperor has been speculated to a sky-high price.
"Brother, you must not miss this opportunity. You must get the highest reward!" Heavenly Venerable Red Bone's breathing became heavy.
If it weren't for the fact that this mission token is bound to the Dragon race's real name, he would have wanted to chop his brother and go himself.
"This is natural!" Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone was also beautiful in his heart, but his face remained calm.
"However, junior brother, for this mission to be completed, you and I still need to work together."
When Heavenly Venerable Red Bone heard this, he knew what his brother was hinting at. He wanted treasures!
Cursing twice in his heart, Heavenly Venerable Red Bone said: "I will do my best to assist you, brother, and ask the Royal Court for treasures."
Purple Bone: "..."
So your full assistance is just lip service!
Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Junior brother, you and I grew up together. If I succeed, will I forget you?"
"Of course not!" Seeing the other party playing the emotional card, Heavenly Venerable Red Bone also understood that he couldn't fool him this time. There was no way, he had to say: "If you are still short, brother, I am willing to contribute a treasure to help you."
Humph, that's about right... Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone snorted coldly in his heart.
But his face was kind, and he stroked his beard with a fairy-like demeanor: "Good, I will thank you first, junior brother."
"The extreme number of tribute missions is usually nine pieces. Please help me then, junior brother."
"Definitely!"
Just like that, the two Heavenly Venerables, Red Bone and Purple Bone, quickly left the Pilgrimage Hall to collect treasures.
Zhao Xing in the Palace of Misa smiled slightly.
"He still has to thank us."
Collect them, collect them. If you can complete the twelfth ring of this mission, then it's called a ghost! Zhao Xing had already thought about it. For the eleventh ring, he would still give Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone something easy. Only then would the other party have thoughts.
Then, at the twelfth ring, pull the difficulty to the max!
Directly let him go and fight Yin Xiu to prove the Dao!
"This is more uncomfortable than killing him. I don't know what expression the White Bone Sect will have when they finish collecting the treasures and find that the final twelfth ring is to fight Yin Xiu." Zhao Xing raised the corner of his mouth.
"With the foundation of the White Bone Sect, collecting two pieces is absolutely no problem."
"They also have the support of the sect world alliance and the Southern Barbarian Royal Court... Two ring missions, nine is the extreme."
"That's a total of eighteen treasures. Even if it's the worst treasure material, I won't lose."
"All I paid was a decree written casually that could expire at any time."
Looking for treasures yourself? Too much trouble! Killing the two Heavenly Venerables wouldn't yield many treasures.
But this way, it can completely squeeze the White Bone Sect's family background!
What if the other party doesn't fall for it?
Old Master Zhao doesn't lose anyway.
"Really looking forward to it."
Zhao Xing began to absorb spiritual energy in the Palace of Misa again, and practiced by the way.
As the residence of the Dragon Emperor, there are not many good things here, but there are not a few.
There is the 【Dragon Blood Holy Leaf】 specially used for issuing government decrees. It is the material for making the Dragon Emperor's imperial decree and can carry magic power and heavenly rules.
This thing is already rare outside, but there are several rooms here, full of them.
Secondly, there is incense made from 【Polar Dragon Whale Incense】.
"True Person Tianyang must like it very much. This is completely a top-level sacrificial material."
"I'm afraid it can't be found anywhere except the Dragon Court. If it is used to cast spells to invite gods during sacrifice, the power will be much greater, and it will even be enough to fully exert the strength of the Yin God, a 1: replica."
Although it is treasure-level, because it cannot be recreated, not to mention the efficacy of the treasure itself, just talking about scarcity, it can be counted as a peerless treasure.
Of course, in the eyes of Old Master Zhao, practicality is greater than everything. In his view, this thing can only be counted as treasure-level.
"Even the decorations are ninth-rank top-grade night-luminescent pearls, but this is too big."
"Forget it, it's Dragon Emperor Jie's place after all, so I won't dig it down."
"If you have a spirit in heaven, don't blame me. I won't destroy your bedroom, I'll just take a little bit."
Zhao Xing continued to scrape in the Palace of Misa. He really kept his promise not to dismantle this place. For example, there were a few pillars in the side hall, which were treasure-level Dinghai God Needles, and Zhao Xing really didn't dismantle them.
Time passed, and Zhao Xing practiced and searched for good things in the Palace of Misa, and realized the spells by the way.
Outside, the two Heavenly Venerables of the White Bone Sect quickly contacted all parties and began to collect treasures!
First, through the means of the destiny warlock, this information was transmitted out and reported to the powerhouse with the highest status in this trip to the Southern Barbarian Royal Court, 'Tuoba Gong', and the Heavenly Witch 'Tian Gui'.
Tuoba Gong attached great importance to this matter. Under the leadership of Tian Gui, the destiny warlocks performed tens of thousands of deductions.
A month later, the destiny warlocks left the customs, and Tuoba Gong appeared outside the secret room for the first time.
"You are out, what is the result?" Tuoba Gong asked.
Although his realm is the same as Tian Gui's, Tuoba Gong respects Tian Gui very much.
"I saw the scene where Purple Bone successfully completed the tenth ring and was ecstatic." Tian Gui had two pupils in his eyes, as if reflecting the future.
"Afterward, I saw him holding the Dragon Emperor's Order and inviting a Dragon King of the Ancient Zhi Kingdom." Tuoba Gong's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise: "Great!"
"Don't rush." Tian Gui thought, "There are two doubts in the future, I need you to judge for yourself."
"Please speak."
"The first doubt, after Purple Bone completed the tenth ring, his eleventh ring mission is still a tribute mission, and the specific content is unknown."
"The second doubt, I didn't observe whether Purple Bone successfully completed the twelfth ring mission and became a Dragon King." Tuoba Gong asked: "Where do you think these two points are doubtful?"
Tian Gui said: "It stands to reason that he is one of our own and does not involve the interference of other forces. I should be able to see the content of the eleventh ring, and even in some future, he became a Dragon King."
"But now, I didn't see it."
Tuoba Gong thought: "Since this is the case, why did you let me choose?"
"Destiny peering is not omnipotent." Tian Gui said calmly, "And the doubts can be explained to a certain extent."
"Although I was not interfered with by other forces, the promotion involving the Dragon King's position and the rewards related to the Dragon Emperor will be interfered with by the heavenly rules of the Central Dragon Court itself."
Tuoba Gong nodded.
Two consecutive tribute missions, involving treasures, a full eighteen pieces, this is also a burden for the Southern Barbarians. However, Tuoba Gong quickly made a decision: "Actually, we don't have extra choices."
"Without the position of Dragon King, even if you have Dragon race divine artifacts, you can't resist that mysterious powerhouse of Great Zhou." Tian Gui nodded, indeed so.
In fact, he had another guess, that is, could that mysterious powerhouse interfere with the Dragon King challenge trial? But this kind of guess can never be verified in advance, and there is no way to calculate it.
Plus Zhao Xing entered the Nine-Star Fire Prison and hasn't appeared for several years, and hasn't seen him come out, this probability is very small and cannot be used as a basis for action.
So he didn't tell Tuoba Gong at all.
"The Royal Court will bestow Purple Bone 12 pieces, and let the White Bone Sect pay for the rest. I will talk to the Divine Venerable." Tuoba Gong quickly made a decision.
No way, they have to gamble that Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone can succeed.
Otherwise, they won't be able to mix in the Dragon Court ancient land later.
With that mysterious powerhouse of Great Zhou, they cannot openly carry out activities in the Dragon Court ancient land.
"Can."
When the Southern Barbarians and the White Bone Sect began to collect treasures.
The fourteenth year of Dazhi, which is one year after Zhao Xing entered the Palace of Misa.
The water mirror trembled slightly.
"Oh? Another dragon is here. Could it be that Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone collected them so quickly?" Zhao Xing flew over and observed the scene of the Pilgrimage Hall through the water mirror.
"It's not them, it's a powerhouse from Great Zhou." Zhao Xing took a look.
"It's the Water Tribe Earth Officials, Ao Tian and Tang Yinglong, and Bai Yunwu is also waiting outside."
"They have reached the eleventh ring mission."
Zhao Xing's heart moved, and he immediately replaced Ao Tian's eleventh ring mission.
A moment later, Ao Tian exited the Pilgrimage Hall in a daze.
"How is it?" Tang Yinglong asked.
"What's going on, speak up." Bai Yunwu was also anxious. What's going on with the daze?
Ao Tian had great confusion in his eyes. He handed the mission decree to the two: "You look at it yourselves, I can't understand it."
Bai Yunwu quickly took it, and then was a bit confused.
"This..."
"What are you doing, speak, Old Bai." Tang Yinglong was speechless by the two of them.
After grabbing it and looking at it, he was also stunned.
Because Ao Tian's eleventh ring mission was too simple!
So simple that they felt it was fake!
"Go and slap the Dragon race Lord 'Ye Yukong' of Guting Kingdom, and complete the mission by knocking the other party down... No, what is this stuff?!"
Tang Yinglong was also confused.
"Who is Ye Yukong?"
"I don't know."
"I know, Mingyue Prefecture Lord Ye Yukong... But this mission content, is it too simple?"
"Ao Tian, did you pick up a fake mission?"
Bai Yunwu put the challenge order in his mouth and bit it.
"Ka ka ka bang!"
The mission token collapsed him, and Bai Yunwu grinned.
"It's actually true?"
"There is something tricky!" Tang Yinglong thought, "Don't you think this mission is very similar to what that person did?"
"You mean him?" Bai Yunwu immediately understood.
"Yes."
"But isn't he in the Nine-Star Fire Prison?" Ao Tian was puzzled, "The people guarding the Nine-Star Fire Prison didn't see him come out."
"It's not surprising that he appears here. The inner court is the Dragon Emperor's residence." The more Bai Yunwu said, the more he felt it was so.
"I understand! It's mostly him, but he has some reason, or to avoid leaking news, or the rules are like this, so he hints to us like this."
"Really?" The two were still suspicious.
"It's very simple. Let's return to Guting Royal City. Ao Tian, you will understand if it's true after you beat Ye Yukong."
"That's right."
Guting Royal City, above an open space.
"Bang!"
Ye Yukong was slapped to the ground, and he fell into the pit, looking at the top in a daze.
"Ao Tian, why did you sneak attack me? And transformed?"
Ao Tian didn't make a sound, but laughed loudly.
Ye Yukong was angry, what the hell are you doing?!
Just when he flew up and wanted to find the other party to question him angrily.
"Swish~"
Ji Si and Bai Yunwu appeared in mid-air.
"Mingyue, don't do it."
"Lord Ji, I was walking well just now, this Ao Tian suddenly sneak attacked me, slapped me into the ground, and didn't speak when asked, it's simply inexplicable..." Ye Yukong complained, looking like he was going to sue the Central Government.
"You don't know why he sneak attacked you?" Ji Si said.
"Do you know why he sneak attacked me?"
"Confidential."
"..."
Ye Yukong was stunned. I was beaten, and I can't even know?
Is this also confidential?
Ji Si was a bit helpless, this is really confidential.
"I can only wrong you for a while."
Ye Yukong had no official position before, and was just entering the second-rank realm. Many things he really didn't have the qualifications to know.
"I..." Although Ye Yukong was helpless, he had to nod.
In fact, this was purely an attempt by Zhao Xing. He wanted to see to what extent the authority could simplify the challenge mission.
So he wrote down this mission content casually. Hey, didn't expect it to really succeed!
However, for the final twelfth ring mission, he couldn't make it up like this.
Because it involves the heavenly rules set by the Dragon God, he can only choose from the established mission items, and the difficulty is also fixed.
He could increase the difficulty, but he couldn't lower it.
Because this involves the 'bestowal of heavenly rules of the Dragon Court', which is generally linked to the Great Arena.
Of course, the Dragon Emperor can confer Dragon Kings, but that is another channel.
…………
The fifteenth year of Dazhi, early February, which is the second year of Zhao Xing in the Palace of Misa.
"Hum~"
The crystal lit up, and the ripples spread.
Zhao Xing's soul left his body and came to the water mirror and tapped lightly. Then the appearance of Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone appeared on it.
"Huo, the speed is really fast. In less than two years, you collected so many treasures?" Zhao Xing couldn't help laughing.
Due to Tian Gui, Tuoba Gong and the White Bone Divine Venerable discussed and directly let Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone prepare the conditions for the subsequent two types of missions.
So he brought a total of 18 treasures this time.
"The great Dragon God is above, I am here to complete the Dragon King trial mission." Purple Bone crawled on the ground.
Hum~
He placed nine treasures on the platform in front of the crystal, and then a burst of mist dissipated. The nine treasures disappeared, and the next moment, they appeared in the Palace of Misa.
"There is something, collecting so fast." Zhao Xing smiled slightly.
He wrote a True Word Decree with the 【Dragon Blood Holy Leaf】 casually. This True Word Decree limited the scope and time limit, and no matter how far away, it could make the power dissipate with one thought.
"Hum~"
A Dragon Emperor's Order written on the spot emerged from the water mirror.
"The great Dragon God is above, thank you..."
After following the process, Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone took the Dragon Emperor's Order and retreated.
Excited heart, trembling hands.
He immediately called two Royal Court special envoys to verify.
"Not bad, this should be the Dragon Blood Holy Leaf of the ancient period. Its production method has been lost. It is rumored that it is the material used by the Dragon Emperor when writing the imperial decree."
"You should have one chance to mobilize the Dragon King."
Only one chance? Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone was a bit disappointed.
But one chance is also very good. If you can find a powerful Dragon King, such as Yin Xiu, and match it with the Reverse Scale Sword, the effect will be very absolute!
"Do you need to verify? Can it be used to summon Yin Xiu?" Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone is now full of confidence.
"Just one chance, how can it be wasted casually?"
"Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone, go and complete the eleventh ring test. If there is no accident, it should still be a tribute mission."
"Good." Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone nodded and returned to the hall.
Sure enough, as Tian Gui expected, this time it was still a tribute mission.
Still handing over nine treasures.
Zhao Xing didn't even bother to change the reward this time, and gave Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone another empty check.
"Two copies!" Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone and the accompanying envoy were extremely excited.
This is their hope to counter that mysterious powerhouse of Great Zhou!
At this time, Zhao Xing, looking at their happy appearance outside, couldn't help laughing.
"Using the imperial decree I wrote to hit me? Tsk tsk, it's really too brutal..."
Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone soon walked into the hall again.
He wanted to receive the final twelfth ring mission.
Completely obtain the Dragon King position.
"Hum~"
The mirror surface quickly reacted, and a new mission token appeared.
Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone couldn't wait to take the token and retreated from the hall with a grin.
"How is it, what is the content?"
"Dragon King trial final challenge, defeat Dragon King Yin Xiu of Guting Kingdom alone..." Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone's smile stiffened, and he couldn't grin anymore.
"What?" The Royal Court envoy was also stunned, including the destiny warlocks who were completely stunned on the spot.
"Me? Go and defeat Dragon King Yin Xiu alone?" Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone's skeleton was numb, and his brain was buzzing.
This is simply an impossible mission!
…………
Guting Kingdom, Xila Prefecture.
"Bang!"
Ye Yukong was pressed into the soil again.
He looked at Tang Yinglong who suddenly appeared in the sky with indignation.
"Are you also part of the confidential?"
Tang Yinglong transformed into a human form and nodded: "Mingyue Prefecture Lord, sorry."
"Bastard, you can't see a bit of sincerity in your apology at all!" Ye Yukong cursed.
The corner of Tang Yinglong's mouth was harder to press than a waterwheel. Fooling ghosts!
Ji Si, who was watching this scene on the high platform not far away, couldn't help laughing.
While watching, he recorded: "The twentieth year of Dazhi, the Emperor must see..."
"Zhao Xing has appeared again, in an obscure way. He can already interfere with most of the content of the Dragon King trial."
"On Mingyue Prefecture Lord Ye Yukong, the missions of Ao Tian and Tang Yinglong have been verified..."
"But the final challenge seems to be unchangeable. Tang and Ao still received a relatively difficult mission."
"However, this has already allowed the powerhouses of my dynasty to save a lot of time..."
"Also, I don't know why, suddenly there are rumors coming from the Great Snake Kingdom that the two Heavenly Venerables of the White Bone Sect have owed huge debts..."
"According to the spy's information, Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone has even pawned his own magic weapon..."
…………
The sixteenth year of Dazhi, spring.
Zhao Xing has spent three years in the Palace of Misa.
"It's about time to leave the Palace of Misa."
"Go to two more places, Aisi Royal City and Fuming Temple, and then head to the Heavenly Dragon Island to seek a breakthrough."
"Now my accumulation is enough. With the help of three ancient coins, I have the luck bestowed by heaven, and it should be very easy to enter the second-rank Heavenly Luck Realm." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The essence of the difference between the Heavenly Luck Realm and the third-rank Life Palace Realm is actually not big.
The only difference is that the Heavenly Luck Realm is basically the luck of the Seventh Derivation!
"Combining the heavenly perception of one's own luck, one can know how to cultivate in order to comply with the will of heaven."
"The so-called Heavenly Luck is my luck, and this is also the beginning of distorting heavenly rules."
"The Heavenly Luck Realm in the high-depth realm can utilize luck in secret methods, that is, to predict the battle." Zhao Xing left the Palace of Misa through the stone cup transmission.
Flying in the passage, his brain was also thinking carefully.
"In the early stage of the Heavenly Luck Realm, fighting has a feeling of searching for enemies in the void. Changing moves many times in an instant, maybe a thousand moves didn't really hit the other party."
"In the late stage of the Heavenly Luck Realm, achieving Heavenly Luck is my luck, which is truly terrifying." While thinking, Zhao Xing had already arrived at a new space.
The surrounding world was also a piece of destruction, similar to the scene seen in the Palace of Misa, black cracks, solidified clouds, terrifying earth cracks, black spears piercing through...
"Aisi Royal City, which is the Young Dragon Royal City. In ancient times, the Dragon race civilization had a cultivation mechanism to concentrate dragon eggs for gestation and concentrate young cubs for cultivation."
"But now this tradition has also disappeared." Zhao Xing scanned the surroundings. Looking around, many nest cities had been destroyed.
The barrier was gone, and the Dragon City was dim.
Bones were everywhere, and there were many Dragon King-level corpses lying on the dilapidated city, as if roaring something.
There were also huge Great Dragon King bones, split in two by black cracks.
Some dragon bones even formed extremely strange shapes. One part belonged to the Dragon race, and the other part could not be distinguished. It should have been a peaceful paradise, but now it was a dilapidated battlefield.
"Let's see if there are any complete places." Zhao Xing flew fast, constantly looking for them.
Fifteen days later.
"Hu~"
Zhao Xing followed the cave and drilled into a huge cave.
In the cave, there were many three-dimensional oval crystal jars made of Dragon Crystals. However, most of them were broken.
"A battle also took place here." A trace of desolation emerged in Zhao Xing's heart.
"The defense battle has been fought here, it's hard to imagine."
"Sin Dragon Bone? It seems that a branch of the Dragon race betrayed the Dragon Court and raided here..."
"Originally, there should have been a large amount of medicinal liquid in these crystal jars to gestate dragon eggs."
"I want to find the Life Dragon Spring created by the ancient Fuming Temple." Zhao Xing searched quickly.
Jumping over pieces of places like garbage dumps, there were dragon bone remains and dim divine weapon ruins everywhere.
Following the induction, Zhao Xing came behind a giant door.
"Spirit Court Decree, True Word Holy Order, Aisi Gate, open!"
Zhao Xing spat out the code and cast the Unsealing Spell.
"Boom~"
The long-sealed door opened, and spiritual energy erupted.
Zhao Xing stood outside the door and absorbed for a full month before it completely dissipated. He walked in cautiously.
Behind the entire door was a nearly dried-up spiritual spring.
In the very center, there were three gestation crystal jars ten times larger than the outside.
There were coiled dragons surrounding the crystal jars on both sides, and dragon heads facing the center on both sides.
A trace of sorrow appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.
The code in his body also seemed to emit a low, muffled dragon roar.
"This place is the gestation place of Dragon Emperor Jie."
"After the Dragon Emperor and another true dragon were born, they escaped from the crystal jars and left here through the teleportation arrays on both sides."
"They sensed danger from the outside and were born early, but the expected disaster did not come, and the dangerous and terrifying existence did not truly break through here."
Zhao Xing could see some pictures from the code, and combined with the scene he saw now, he deduced some conclusions.
However, because it was too distant, only intermittent scenes flashed.
"The left and right crystal jars are already broken, but the middle one is well-preserved." Zhao Xing looked down.
There was still a layer of spiritual spring there, and spiritual energy emerged, surrounding the crystal jar.
"The sealed true dragon egg." Zhao Xing watched quietly and continued to deduce.
"After Dragon Emperor Jie escaped for many years, he finally grew into a generation of Dragon Emperor and suppressed the Heavenly Abyss and the Sea of Sin."
"What happened in the middle that caused him to seal this dragon egg."
"Could it be that he thought this dragon egg was very dangerous?"
"Or is it a kind of protection because something happened to the true dragon that escaped with him?" Zhao Xing had no way of knowing, but the seal of this dragon egg was very strong.
The one that sealed it was the Dragon Emperor Sealing Spell among the nine great spells!
"Collect!"
Zhao Xing did not unseal it, because he hadn't learned the Dragon Emperor Sealing Spell yet, so he simply took away the sealed true dragon egg directly, along with the remaining spiritual liquid.
As for when to unseal it, it depends on the situation.
"Swish~"
Zhao Xing flew away from the Young Dragon Royal City quickly.
A month later, Zhao Xing appeared at the ancient Fuming Temple.
This is a huge sea of fire.
Even now, it is still burning violently.
In the sky-filling sea of fire, a furnace is floating in the sea of fire.
"Fuming Baking Furnace!"
Zhao Xing looked at the furnace in the sea of fire.
"This treasure-level divine artifact of the Artisan School is really here." Zhao Xing revealed a trace of excitement.
However, it cannot be counted as a divine artifact of the Artisan School now, because this is its predecessor.
After being taken out, after many years of transformation, it finally became an Artisan School divine artifact suitable for human use.
"With it, wait a few hundred years, and you can mass-produce war divine artifacts."
"Fortunately, the current sea of fire is not strong, and there is no spiritual energy to help burn. If it were taken later, the difficulty would not be at the same level."
"Ancestral Dragon Transformation!"
Zhao Xing roared and turned into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. Then he cast the talent of Ancestral Dragon Transformation—Ancestral Dragon Roar.
"Huang!"
The sound was like opening the sky and splitting the earth, separating the sea of fire that distorted space. Zhao Xing shuttled quickly and headed straight for the furnace.
Then the dragon body circled the Fuming Furnace.
"Chi chi chi chi chi~"
The scorching temperature made Zhao Xing's scales turn red.
"Rise!"
Zhao Xing roared and pulled it out alive.
Then he quickly left the edge of the sea of fire.
Everything happened very quickly, just a quarter of an hour.
However, in this quarter of an hour, there were many scorched marks on Zhao Xing's dragon body.
"Hiss~" Zhao Xing grinned in pain.
"Damn, it's really hot enough to burn a dragon."
"My defense is so high, and I have the protection of the Dragon Court Code. Even the Dragon King thorn of Bone One can't pierce it, but now the dragon scales are scorched."
"Move it out first."
Zhao Xing rested for a full month, let the injury recover, and then moved it out and placed it outside the Fuming Temple.
At this time, he did not move again, but ran to the ancient Heavenly Dragon Island first.
"Purple Gold Ancient Coin, 【Zhuanxu·Mountains and Seas】, 【Changyi·Heavenly Bestowal】, 【Great Luck Coin】."
Zhao Xing spread out the three ancient coins and placed them in front of him, then activated the method of Money Divination.
"Chang my will, seek heavenly bestowal of luck."
"Zhuanxu's order, mountains and seas as proof!"
"Heavenly Luck is my luck..."
Hum~
The purple light pillar fell, surrounding Zhao Xing.
The three coins completed their mission at this moment and completely dissipated.
Huge luck poured into his body, and Zhao Xing began to break through to the second-rank Heavenly Luck Realm.
…………
Half a year later.
November 9th, the sixteenth year of Dazhi, Zhao Xing opened his eyes.
"Second-rank Heavenly Luck Realm, level, Derivation Eight."
"The effect is stronger than expected."
If it were just three ancient coins, even if he exhausted everything, he couldn't attract such huge heavenly bestowed luck.
It is clear that Zhao Xing's own experience in the Dragon Court is playing a role.
"I inherited part of the Dragon Emperor's authority, which allowed me to cross the big hurdle of Derivation Seven directly from Derivation Six and reach Derivation Eight."
"The vast majority of first-ranks are only Derivation Eight, and I actually reached it." Zhao Xing was a bit dazed.
But after a moment, he restrained his emotions.
He didn't fly away immediately, but recorded the insights of the breakthrough and further improved the method of solving the drawbacks of the Myriad Method Grass Man.
December 1st, the sixteenth year of Dazhi.
Zhao Xing returned to the ancient Fuming Temple again.
He cast the Ancestral Dragon Transformation again, rolled up the Fuming Baking Furnace, and left the Central Dragon Court.
At the moment of leaving the Central Dragon Court, Zhao Xing turned into a human form and turned out an ancient token in his hand.
"Shang Tang Order, it's not time for the Dragon Court to go out yet, but I have taken what I can take at this stage, so I can go out."
"If you want to take the big guy Fuming Baking Furnace away, you can only go through the underworld road." Activating the restriction on the token, Zhao Xing waited quietly.
Suddenly—
"Boom~"
The world was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the surroundings became black.
An ancient warship suddenly appeared from the dark void.
But at this moment, countless dragon roars roared, and a terrifying force between heaven and earth crushed toward the Ancient Yin warship.
"Tearing the heavenly rules of the Dragon Court, the warship will be backlashed, run!"
Zhao Xing rolled up all the treasures he carried, including the Fuming Baking Furnace, and boarded the ship quickly.
The next moment, a bang came from heaven and earth, and then it returned to clarity.
