Chapter 261 Dragon Qi Transaction
Gu Yuchuan's eyes gleamed with a hint of shrewdness. He knew that the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor was definitely up to something, and it was definitely not just a simple investment.
"I wonder what kind of deal Your Majesty the Demon Emperor wants to make with me. We're all straightforward people, so let's just be frank. If I can do it, I will definitely help Your Majesty. If I can't, I've prepared 100,000 spirit stones as repayment for the Fire Dragon Cannon."
His attitude made the Demon Emperor Yunluan think even more highly of him; he was poised and generous.
"Alright. Since you're so straightforward, I'm not one of those people who likes to hide my intentions. I'll be blunt: I need a wisp of your natal dragon energy to help me break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Gu Yuchuan frowned. This innate dragon energy was no ordinary thing. As the lowest-level dragon, if he lost it, he would need to go into seclusion for a whole year to re-condense it, and the resources required would be immeasurable. The key question was, was the other party's cultivation level really that high?
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage? Congratulations, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!"
The other party waved his hand: "You don't need to test me. I may not be at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage yet, but I am already at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. I am not far from the peak. Within a hundred years, I will definitely break through to the Divine Transformation stage. At that time, I will want a wisp of your dragon energy. How about that?"
If it were decades from now, Gu Yuchuan felt it wouldn't matter much. By then, both cultivation and bloodline would be far more powerful than they are now, and the condensation of dragon energy would be much easier.
However, Gu Yuchuan still had doubts.
“Senior, I just don’t understand. Logically speaking, I’m not the only dragon in Yunhai Marsh. There must be others in the core area, or my sworn brother is also a dragon who was promoted before me. Why did you have to choose me?”
His eyes were sincere; he clearly really wanted to know the answer.
After thinking for a moment, the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor finally spoke up: "Let me be frank. In the core area of the Cloud Sea Marsh, besides the Demon Lord, there is only one other dragon. We had some conflicts in the past, although they were not major ones. But he definitely doesn't want to see me become a Nascent Soul Venerable. That's for sure. He definitely won't help me."
She sighed as she said this: "As for you and your sworn brother, the choice is easy. You are superior in both potential and strength. However, your luck is just about the same. There is also a very simple external reason that made me make the decision."
Gu Yuchuan couldn't believe his ears. He was a candidate for the chosen one of destiny, yet his beloved second brother's destiny was nearly identical to his own. What did this mean? It meant, just as he had guessed, that he was a manifestation of Yun Haize's destiny. Otherwise, how could his progress be nearly as rapid as his own? Furthermore, what was the reason for ultimately choosing him based on his appearance? He looked at the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor, hoping for an explanation.
The Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor laughed out loud: "This reason sounds incredible, but it is indeed what I care about. My true form is a Azure Phoenix, which is azure. After absorbing dragon energy, there will definitely be a change in color. You are an Azure Flood Dragon. Although the saturation of your color is a little higher than my azure, it won't have much of an impact after being added. In fact, the color will have more layers. But if the black of the Ink Flood Dragon is added, then my true form will not look good. I don't want that."
Gu Yuchuan felt like he was about to explode with frustration. Sure enough, the Azure Phoenix Clan, with the blood of the Phoenix, was noble and proud, and had very high standards for their appearance. He couldn't come up with a reason for this even if he thought about it for a year.
However, the value of this dragon energy is not something that can be obtained with a mere 100,000 spirit stones; this amount is far from enough.
The Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor immediately saw through his thoughts: "Don't worry, the reward I give you will only be more, not less. I'm very generous. When I need it, I will naturally come to you and provide you with resources that you can't refuse."
Since that's the case, then Gu Yuchuan has nothing to worry about.
"Alright, since you value me so much, I can't refuse. I believe you won't treat me unfairly. Since there's nothing else, I won't bother you any longer."
The other party nodded and waved, and a maid escorted him out. Gu Yuchuan still felt it was surreal; he hadn't expected such a thing to happen. However, he realized that he had indeed benefited from this deal.
However, dragon energy doesn't have the ability to help cultivators advance. How can her own natal dragon energy help her advance?
Actually, the Yin attribute in the body of the Cloud Phoenix Demon Queen was too strong. After the transformation into a deity, she needed to maintain a balance. However, the Azure Phoenix was of phoenix blood, and ordinary things could not dilute it. The only thing she could find was dragon energy. After weighing the options, Gu Yuchuan was the most suitable person.
Gu Yuchuan had just returned to the Flood Dragon Palace and hadn't even disembarked from his flying boat when he saw the Ink Flood Dragon Demon General's men.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my king has begun his advancement to the Golden Core stage, and we have come to request that you come and protect him."
This person is Black Shrimp, one of only two Foundation Establishment cultivators by the side of the Ink Dragon Demon General. He is considered an absolute core member, with a status similar to that of Bai Ming.
"Come aboard, and use my flying boat."
Their territories were not far apart, and soon they arrived at the territory of the Ink Dragon Demon General. He could sense that deep inside the cave, the other party was breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
However, he remembered what happened in the simulator: there were extraterrestrial demons causing trouble.
Why is this happening? Logically speaking, the Heavenly Demon Tribulation only occurs when one advances to the Nascent Soul stage, not when one advances to the Golden Core stage. Especially since his luck is already quite abundant, this shouldn't be the case. There must be another reason, but since the Heavenly Demon hasn't descended yet, he can't really figure it out if he's just speculating. He'll have to wait and see.
This time, he was determined to completely annihilate the opponent to prevent them from being ambushed again during spatial teleportation.
That's right, spatial teleportation, a sneak attack! This is definitely not the Heavenly Demon he is familiar with. Those Heavenly Demons in the Heavenly Demon Realm cannot do such a thing; it would violate the rules. In other words, this extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon is not a member of the Heavenly Demon race. Could it be a cultivator from outside the realm?
His heart raced with even greater panic; the unknown dangers were the most unsettling.
Not long after, a tremendous aura emanated from the depths, a sign that the demon was about to advance to the Golden Core stage. It seemed that the Ink Dragon Demon was about to successfully advance, but Gu Yuchuan became even more cautious. He wanted to see just who this extraterrestrial demon was.
