Chapter 741: Heavenly River Weak Water Array (First update, requesting all support)

Roar—

Xier Yasina let out a roar at the eight giant dragons lying on the ground, as if asking them if they were convinced.

Unexpectedly, this time, the three blue dragons were the first to signal their submission; arrogant as they were, blue dragons were still very willing to abide by the rules of the dragon race.

The five green dragons, however, thought too much and were inevitably a beat slower in their reaction, so Xier Yasina took the opportunity to give them another sound beating, hitting them until they cried for their parents and had no choice but to submit.

In this way, the Five-Colored Dragons all submitted to Xier Yasina.

Not far away, the silver dragon and the copper dragon watched in a daze, then they couldn't help but glance at Hermes, whose size was not much different from Xier Yasina's.

The golden dragon's size was already slightly inferior to the red dragon's; judging purely by size, Hermes's combat power was undoubtedly on the same level as Xier Yasina's.

The silver dragon and the copper dragon secretly felt lucky; if they had resisted like the Five-Colored Dragons, these blue dragons and green dragons would have been their fate.

"Xier Yasina, I leave these three Dragon Eggs to your care."

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng handed three more Dragon Eggs to Xier Yasina; they were two red dragon eggs and one green dragon egg, respectively.

In fact, Li Zhangsheng still had one Dragon Egg in his possession, one that could hatch into a top-grade giant dragon; to avoid any accidents, he had handed it to Lin Wan and her daughter for careful tending.

Looking at the three Dragon Eggs in her claws, Xier Yasina wore a bitter expression; she was still a juvenile dragon, so where would she have ever hatched a Dragon Egg?

As if remembering something, Li Zhangsheng pointed to the two silver dragons and said, "Xier Yasina, you can ask them to help take care of them."

Among dragons, silver dragons can be said to be quite unique; their personalities are not ferocious but rather quite kind, and they are very willing to assist those kind creatures who truly need help, unless they are facing enemies who are extremely evil or provoke them rudely, in which case they will not easily start a war.

If they encounter ownerless Five-Colored Dragon eggs in the wild, silver dragons will often bring them to their Dragon Nest, dutifully hatch them, and at the same time educate them to become kind.

As for the other Five-Colored Dragons, Li Zhangsheng really couldn't trust them; after all, Five-Colored Dragons are notorious for their lack of patience, and the key point was that these three Dragon Eggs were not their own offspring, so how could they possibly take care of them carefully?

Xier Yasina walked straight up to the two silver dragons and began to communicate with the pair.

This was a silver dragon couple; at first, they were still somewhat guarded, but after confirming that Xier Yasina had no ill intentions, they reluctantly agreed to Xier Yasina's request.

The reason the silver dragon couple agreed was partly because their personalities were just like that, and partly because they were wary of Xier Yasina's might, fearing that if they refused, they would suffer Xier Yasina's retaliation.

After all matters were concluded, the three left the Temporary Dragon Lair; Li Haoqiong did not leave, instead pulling out a Miniature Palace slightly larger than a basketball and tossing it not far away.

The next moment, the Miniature Palace grew rapidly, eventually becoming a small palace of five or six hundred square meters, which would also become the place where Li Haoqiong and He Yan would reside.

"This is a palace I obtained from some Ruins in my early years; it has the ability to change size at will, and its built-in defenses can withstand several attacks from a Lord-level Demon Pet."

Li Haoqiong explained briefly; this was also one of the few treasures he could show off.

"It's quite convenient, actually."

Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but feel a bit envious, as he didn't have any residential-type treasures yet.

Of course, he could take out Flame King Di Zhiyi's Fire Crystal Palace, or even set his sights on the Baisheng King Palace; regardless of size or function, both were far superior to this palace of Li Haoqiong's.

"Second Uncle, I'll leave this place to you and Second Aunt."

Li Haoqiong waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so polite with family!"

After chatting with Li Haoqiong for a while, Li Zhangsheng left Qingyun Mountain with Ning Bizhen and flew toward the direction of the Silent Forest.

Although Qingyun Mountain was not bad, the concentration of Wood Energy there was still far inferior to the Silent Forest, and besides, the energy there had to supply the Dragon Lair, so how could he place the Wood Heart there?

Not long after, the two entered the Silent Forest; since the Wood Heart could absorb Wood Energy within a radius of about a hundred miles, the two had to continue deeper.

Their goal was very clear: the former territory of the Golden Lion Zeryanas.

After the Golden Lion's death, its territory should not be occupied by a Demon King-level Spirit Beast for a short period of time.

In this past year, several Demon King-level Spirit Beasts had fallen in the Silent Forest, such as the Black Dragon, Green Dragon, Golden Lion, Golden Dragon Python, and Rock Giant Python; their deaths were all related to Li Zhangsheng.

The Silent Forest only gives birth to a Demon King-level Spirit Beast roughly every few years; at this rate, it would take decades to restore the scale of Demon King-level Spirit Beasts.

Among these deceased Demon King-level Spirit Beasts, the territory of the Golden Lion Zeryanas was the furthest from the core of the Silent Forest and the closest to Luo City, which was the main reason Li Zhangsheng chose this place.

If any changes occurred, he could arrive at the first moment to prevent the Wood Heart from being snatched away.

After arriving at the destination, the Spirit-Eating Rat dug a tunnel again; for the sake of safety, this time the Spirit-Eating Rat tried its best, digging a tunnel more than two hundred meters deep.

By the time the Spirit-Eating Rat finished its work, night had already fallen.

More than two hundred meters underground, the Spirit-Eating Rat dug an underground stone chamber that could store the Wood Heart; the surrounding walls and the ceiling were all fully reinforced by the Spirit-Eating Rat using the Turn Mud into Stone skill, so there would be no signs of collapse.

This stone chamber was only a few dozen square meters, which was more than enough to accommodate the Wood Heart; after all, Li Zhangsheng would not let the Wangliang tribe continue to live in this place.

That's right, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of letting a Demon Pet guard the Wood Heart; he planned to use a powerful Forbidden Array to guard it.

Of course, there were also necessary early-warning Restrictions.

Forbidden Arrays can generally be divided into attack, defense, and illusion arrays; because the stone chamber was too small, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of setting up an illusion array.

This time, Li Zhangsheng took out the extra Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl to serve as the eye of the Forbidden Array.

In the memories of Spirit King Liu Yongtu, Li Zhangsheng had obtained a Forbidden Array called the Heavenly River Weak Water Array; this was a Forbidden Array excellent in both offense and defense that could blend Water Element energy into Weak Water. The Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl possessed the function of gathering Water Element energy; using it as the array eye could significantly strengthen the power of the Heavenly River Weak Water Array, making it difficult even for a Demon King-level Spirit Beast to break the Heavenly River Weak Water Array in a short time.

Besides using the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl as the array eye, Li Zhangsheng also took out many Water Element treasures and began to set up the Heavenly River Weak Water Array.

By the middle of the night, with Ning Bizhen's assistance, Li Zhangsheng finally finished setting up the Heavenly River Weak Water Array, and along with it, he also set up a Strengthened Breath-Concealing Restriction and a high-energy early-warning Restriction.

The core material of the high-energy early-warning Restriction contained a Mental Power imprint condensed by Li Zhangsheng; as long as the Heavenly River Weak Water Array was subjected to an attack of a certain intensity, the high-energy early-warning Restriction would be triggered, and even from ten thousand miles away, Li Zhangsheng's soul would receive the warning signal.

After placing the Wood Heart into the underground stone chamber, the Wood Heart began to operate rapidly, starting to absorb the Wood Energy within a radius of a hundred miles.

The concentration of Wood Energy in the Silent Forest exceeded Li Zhangsheng's expectations; he could clearly feel a large amount of Wood Energy swarming toward the Wood Heart.

The Wood Heart flickered slightly with green brilliance, like a strong man who had been hungry for days, crazily devouring the Wood Energy.

However, the Wood Heart ultimately had a limit to how much energy it could digest; after a quarter of an hour, its absorption speed slowed down significantly, and the external Wood Energy did not gather as crazily as before, but instead tended to level off, making it difficult for outsiders to notice.

In addition to Wood Energy, there was also some Water Element energy; under the operation of the Heavenly River Weak Water Array, this Water Element energy was gradually blended into droplets of light blue liquid.

This was the so-called Weak Water; once one is submerged in Weak Water, it is difficult to float back to the surface, and one often faces only the path of sinking.

Of course, if it were a river formed by Nine Heavens Weak Water, even a Divine Beast might not be able to float up.

When the two returned to the Yuanling Academy, another hour had passed.

In the bedroom, Li Zhangsheng took out the Seven-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform; after gathering all the materials, he felt an impatient urge in his heart.

As long as he upgraded to the Eight-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform, he believed Li Zhangsheng's cultivation speed could advance even further.

To upgrade to the Eight-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform, he needed ten drops of Three Lights Divine Water, Wutu Essence, and the Cangxuan Earth-Fixing Pearl, as well as a large number of items containing Star Power.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng formed a special Seal Technique and pointed a finger at the Seven-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform.

Invisible ripples landed on the Seven-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform; in an instant, the lotus platform blinked with Rich Starlight Power, and the tightly closed flower bud slowly began to bloom.

He used the Cangxuan Earth-Fixing Pearl to replenish the origin consumed by the lotus platform, with ten drops of Wutu Essence as the key to the rank promotion.

The moment the flower bud bloomed, Li Zhangsheng quickly stuffed all three types of precious materials inside, and under his control, the lotus flower bud closed up again.

This time, Li Zhangsheng once again formed over a hundred Seal Techniques, landing them on every single lotus petal.

The next moment, the Seven-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform suddenly began to rotate, rapidly digesting the precious materials within the bud, and was soon enveloped by a hazy, earthy-yellow radiance.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng, familiar with the process, shattered hundreds of materials containing Starlight Power, extracted a large amount of starlight from them, and completely enveloped the lotus platform.

The Seven-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform began to absorb the Starlight Power rapidly, as if swallowing like a whale; during this process, the outer layer of the Seven-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform began to grow new petals, the volume of the lotus platform began to expand once again, and it started to give birth to the eighth rank.

Li Zhangsheng shattered large quantities of materials from time to time to extract Starlight Power; judging from the consumption, the energy required to promote from the seventh rank to the eighth rank far exceeded the previous time, even by several times over; fortunately, Li Zhangsheng usually collected a large number of items containing Starlight Power, otherwise, it might have truly been difficult to sustain.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng still felt quite pained, because the value of these materials alone would likely exceed six figures in Soul Crystals.

However, if there were no accidents, once the lotus platform's rank promotion succeeded, the Eight-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform would definitely be able to enter the next stage and reach the category of an Intermediate World Wonder.

It's Monday, asking for recommendation votes, thank you to all-powerful readers!
