297. Chapter 297: The Variable of Tianxuan Continent

"However, Master need not worry. He cannot block your path. His actions violate the Heavenly Dao, and in the unseen, there is a destined fate. That my Master ascends to the Immortal World is the trend of the Heavenly Dao."

The Dragon changed his tone, becoming calm as he said: "I have long heard of recent events outside. The key lies with these four envoys; perhaps what Master seeks can be found within them."

The Dragon realized he could not speak of things Su Chen did not know, but he could elaborate on things Su Chen already understood.

"What is the point of me ascending to the Immortal World alone? The entire Tianxuan Continent is under the machinations of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, preventing anyone from ascending. Countless peerless geniuses are stuck at the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm because they cannot find the threshold for ascension, dying only when their lifespans are exhausted. This is far too unfair to them."

Su Chen could not help but clench his fists. The grudge against the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor must be avenged, but his actions are equally shameful.

Although Tianxuan Continent is but a small world, insignificant compared to the Immortal World, this does not mean the living beings within it are not human. Why should they have their cultivation careers completely cut off because of one Heavenly Dao Great Emperor?

If one had known from the start that they could not cultivate to ascend, what would be the meaning of everything done until now? Hearing Su Chen's words, the Dragon could not help but sigh in his heart. As expected of Master; although his personality differs greatly from his previous life, his inner self remains unchanged. This is what makes him so admirable.

Thinking of this, the Dragon said softly: "All of this depends on you, Master. You are the variable of Tianxuan Continent; only you can change all of this. But the path ahead is unknown and may involve many hardships. This is also what you must endure to return to your rightful place; others would not be able to bear it."

Hearing this, Su Chen subconsciously gripped his fists, his expression showing little change.

A powerful enemy, an unknown journey, and the heavy burden on his shoulders are all things he must currently bear. The only thing he can do now is to improve his strength as quickly as possible; otherwise, everything is just empty talk.

"I believe you have long heard of Lanbo's actions in the Western Wasteland. I wonder if you could offer your assistance?"

Su Chen asked. If he could get the Dragon to join their team, Lanbo would surely be routed in no time.

"I am currently in a state of divine soul, trapped within this realm. I am also pained by the suffering in the Western Wasteland, but I cannot intervene. However, Master possesses the Divine Dragon Martial Soul, which has a natural suppressive effect on him. Once I strengthen Master's physique and temper his divine soul, the power of the Divine Dragon Martial Soul will also increase."

The Dragon said slowly, offering a very sound suggestion.

After hearing this, Su Chen stopped dwelling on it. After all, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. Rather than finding ways to depend on others, strengthening his own power is the right path.

"By the way, you should be able to sense the aura of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's bloodline on me. I have contracted a young dragon, and we accidentally arrived at the Altar. She..."

Su Chen did not finish his sentence, looking at the Dragon with a questioning gaze.

The Dragon had not carefully discerned it just now, only feeling that the aura was very familiar. He had originally thought it was because of the Divine Dragon Martial Soul, but now, upon closer inspection, he truly sensed the bloodline of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

One must know that the Dragon Race has not produced a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon for thousands of years. He himself is a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, but because it was an accident and Five-Clawed Golden Dragons are extremely precious and difficult to be born, this lineage likely only consists of the one Su Chen contracted.

In the unseen, there is a destined fate; Su Chen being able to contract that Five-Clawed Golden Dragon is also the will of Heaven.

"There is no need to worry about that. After Master leaves, bring her into the Altar, and I will naturally bestow the bloodline inheritance upon my descendant."

The Dragon smiled and said: "After all, she can be considered my descendant. I am relieved that she can serve by your side."

Hearing this, Su Chen finally felt at ease. "Then thank you."

He thanked him earnestly.

The Dragon said nothing. Su Chen sat cross-legged, and the Dragon circled around him. Countless phantoms of dragons appeared instantly, surrounding him tightly. Countless Sanskrit characters emerged, flashing with golden light, continuously weaving through Su Chen's body.

At this moment, beads of sweat appeared densely on Su Chen's face. He gritted his teeth tightly; only a sufficiently strong body could contain a powerful divine soul, otherwise, he would explode and die.

This first step was to temper a strong physique, but this step was painful, equivalent to dismantling all the parts of the body and reassembling them to be more solid.

He felt every inch of his bones shattering bit by bit. Not only that, but a dense pain from his flesh and blood covered his body. The dual torture of body and spirit made him grit his teeth, almost unable to breathe.

The Dragon watched this scene quietly from afar, unable to help but sigh in his heart. As expected of Master; a normal person would already be screaming and begging for mercy at the very beginning, but Su Chen did not make a sound.

Visibly, the impurities in Su Chen's body were all expelled. Not only that, but although his body and appearance remained the same, he looked even more heroic and charming than before, and even his aura had changed significantly.

If it were before, Su Chen would often be lackadaisical when there was no serious business, like a dissolute young master, careless and indifferent. But now, anyone who looks at Su Chen feels that he is high-spirited and extraordinary, even feeling a sense of inferiority arise spontaneously, sensing a great distance between them.

Soon, a lot of grime appeared on Su Chen's clothes; these were the impurities expelled from his body, a dirty mess.

This long process lasted for a full three hours before it was completely finished.

Su Chen could not help but squeeze the muscles on his body; they were very firm. He casually threw a punch and felt that he could instantly shatter a thousand-ton boulder.

As expected of the Dragon tempering his body; it truly lived up to its reputation.

He faintly felt that the body of the Divine Dragon Martial Soul within him was also strengthening, and he even felt that the Spiritual Power within it was more pure and powerful.

This was only body tempering, and it brought so many benefits. Su Chen dared not imagine what he would be like after tempering his divine soul.

"How much time has passed now?"

Su Chen could not help but stretch and asked the Dragon with a smile.

"Three hours have already passed. As expected of my Master; others might take three days and three nights, but my Master succeeded in tempering in just three hours."

The Dragon could not help but express heartfelt admiration.

"It's already been three hours? Won't they be anxious waiting outside? Let's hurry and continue, otherwise, it will be too late."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen thought that would be terrible; he had suddenly disappeared, and they must be worried sick. (End of chapter)
