The Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt it had been particularly clever this time.
Di Tian seriously contemplated the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's words.
"I will take you to find our Sovereign. Let her examine you."
Saying this, Di Tian brought the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the bottom of the Sea of Life Lake, entering a crumbling pocket dimension through a fissure.
Within the pocket dimension, a massive vertical eye opened.
"What is the matter?"
"Sovereign, the Auspicious Beast may have been targeted by a human deity."
Di Tian repeated the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's story.
A thread of divine sense swept over, scrutinizing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion inside and out.
"It's that Sea God again. Your very emergence, born of fortune, was due to his existence. Now, he is beginning to reclaim it all."
The Silver Dragon King's voice carried a trace of anger.
The Auspicious Beast could only grow naturally, unable to cultivate on its own, yet it enjoyed the effect of doubling its own cultivation speed. Thus, despite having 15,000 years of cultivation, its actual history spanned over 7,000 years.
Within her body flowed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King—a trace of bloodline that Tang San himself had sent to the lower realm.
A flash of panic appeared in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes.
"He wants to turn me into a Spirit Ring? Turn me into a Spirit Ring for that Huo Yuhao?"
"That should be the case. A part of the power within you was already discordant. Now it has been activated, linking your fate to Huo Yuhao's."
"Sovereign, is there still a way to break this situation?" Di Tian grew anxious upon hearing this.
They, the several Fierce Beasts, had practically raised the Auspicious Beast, viewing her as their own child.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion also looked pitifully at the colossal silver dragon lying prone on the ground, staring into its vertical pupils, which were larger than itself.
"Find him. That Huo Yuhao can perform an Attribute Connection with you, proving he is a person designated by fate. To break this situation, you can only seek someone who is not bound by fate."
Not bound by fate?
Where could such a person be?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay on the ground, a trace of despair flashing in its eyes.
"Auspicious Beast, stay by the Sea of Life Lake for now. Do not venture out. With us here, your safety is still guaranteed for the time being."
"Oh."
No more hunting trips.
A flicker of regret passed through the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes.
[Douluo 3]
The Spirit Master Grand Tournament had concluded. Su Ming spent some time traveling around Star Luo City.
He had visited the Blacksmith Associations in all the nearby cities.
While imparting techniques, he was also purchasing rare metals.
After more than ten days of this, the Dragon Valley Operation finally arrived.
Su Ming was a member of the Body Sect.
Hu Jie, the person in charge of the Tang Sect's branch in the Star Luo Empire, was also a member of the Body Sect.
Therefore, Mu Ye successfully secured a spot for him, an exceptional one at that.
According to the restrictions of the Dragon Valley pocket dimension, Spirit Masters above level 50 could not enter.
But there were exceptions to everything. Merely exploring the rules of the Dragon Valley pocket dimension was not something a Spirit Master below level 50 could accomplish, especially establishing a stable exit mechanism.
"Once inside the Dragon Valley, just absorb the Dragon Clouds. Those Dragon Clouds are rare, priceless treasures for you. Your Qi and Blood Power and spiritual power are high. After entering, you can also try to go to the Dragon Tomb and see if you can pick up a couple of True Dragon Spirit Bones."
Mu Ye gave Su Ming a few instructions and handed him a mask.
"You are not a member of the Tang Sect, so no need to announce yourself. Operate under the codename White Ninety-Nine for now."
Su Ming took the mask, bid farewell to Mu Ye, and joined the Tang Sect team.
"Now for grouping. Teams of two for the upcoming Dragon Valley Operation."
"White Three and White Seven are one team."
"..."
"White Ninety-Nine will form a team alone."
Hearing that White Ninety-Nine could operate alone, Tang Wulin immediately looked over.
Envy.
Acting alone must be so free.
The next morning.
Tang Wulin was even more envious.
Because he was feeling the trouble of dealing with White Seven.
She was the very picture of a princess complex.
"Alright, let's move out!"
The group trekked over mountains and rivers until they reached the summit of a high mountain.
There, a Titled Douluo whose Martial Spirit was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon had been waiting for a long time. He made his move, and a crack appeared in the sky.
Black One looked at everyone.
"You may enter now."
Su Ming was the last to enter.
Before he entered, Black One reminded him.
"Come out as soon as you feel the pressure. The time you can stay inside will be shorter than anyone else's."
Su Ming shrugged and leaped into the spatial crack.
He suppressed his Spirit Power fluctuations with all his might.
His Spirit Domain Realm spiritual power enveloped his Spirit Power, combing through the surrounding spatial forces, allowing him to smoothly enter the Dragon Valley pocket dimension.
Although he had entered, he was too powerful. For the current Dragon Valley pocket dimension, his strength exceeded the limit.
The pocket dimension's innate rule suppressing Spirit Power activated, sensing resistance from him.
He was making the Dragon Valley pocket dimension uncomfortable, and naturally, it took special notice of him, giving him extra "attention."
Su Ming raised an eyebrow.
"The Domain of Chaos isn't working?"
I've already deployed the Domain of Chaos, and you still won't let me sneak in?
"But it doesn't matter. This Dragon Valley pocket dimension won't last long anyway."
Due to Gu Yue's meddling, it would expel outsiders early. Su Ming, who had no interest in the Dragon God's dragon soul, naturally didn't care.
"Qi and Blood Power is still usable. As for spiritual power, the consumption is quite severe."
Su Ming calculated: if he used his spiritual power to substitute for Spirit Power in combat, it would probably last about an hour, and recovery would be very slow, likely taking a full day.
"Borrowing power should work. But the borrowed Spirit Power would be sealed."
"This Dragon Valley pocket dimension was crafted very thoroughly by the Dragon God."
Unable to find a loophole, Su Ming couldn't be bothered to keep looking.
As Mu Ye had said, his target was the Dragon Clouds.
Spreading out his spiritual power, he gauged the direction based on the concentration of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy and swiftly advanced towards the Dragon Tomb.
The closer to the Dragon Tomb, the denser the Dragon Clouds became.
The Dragon Clouds along the way were forcibly drawn by his spiritual power, passing through his body.
If nothing else, it felt quite... refreshing.
"And there's no residual dragon-attribute bloodline power."
Having confirmed there were no issues, Su Ming began his cultivation within the Dragon Valley.
He stayed at the edge of the Dragon Tomb, skirting the perimeter and "eating."
After several days of this, a massive crack appeared in the sky of the Dragon Valley pocket dimension.
"Gu Yue has arrived?"
Su Ming looked up, catching sight of several black figures heading deep into the Dragon Tomb.
Withdrawing his gaze, Su Ming continued to "eat."
The Dragon Clouds were his target; the things inside the Dragon Tomb had nothing to do with him.
These clouds could enhance a Spirit Master's affinity with various elements. Even for Su Ming, this was a rare and valuable opportunity.
Dragon Tomb.
Deep Within.
Gu Yue looked coldly at Tang Wulin, who was contending with her for the dragon soul.
"The dragon soul is not something you can covet."
Having said that, she directly mobilized her unsealed power, preparing to suppress Tang Wulin.
Since she had already unsealed once for the dragon soul, not using it would be a waste.
Tang Wulin, let me see how many more trump cards you have left.
Gu Yue stretched out her hand, and an Elemental Storm began to generate around her.
As the elements collided, space itself began to fracture.
'Tang Wulin' sighed.
