Chapter 1769: Awaken the Dragon Vein Spirit

ow so long, unlike him and Gu Dongchen who lasted only a few months.After telling Gu Dongchen and Wu Kaiming about Xiao Ziliang, Shen Xiang quickly returned to Taishan Warden's Hall to take care of hi...Chapter 1769 - Awakened Spirit of the Dragon Vein

“Dragon veins are cultivated from the Earth’s core and can be considered unique and powerful existences amidst the Nine Heavens Realm. They should bring benefits to the Nine Heavens Realm, but unfortunately, they are now coveted by those divine palaces. If powerful forces were to monopolize them and control the dragon veins, others in the Nine Heavens Realm would not benefit from it,”

Shen Xiang hovered in front of the dragon head, patiently awaiting further changes to the dragon vein while contemplating its formation.

He believed that the continuous appearance of dragon veins was not coincidental; it was most likely orchestrated by the nine divine kings from back then, who had laid plans here long ago. Consequently, even after a dragon vein disappeared, another would eventually reappear somewhere else.

Once, Qi Shiyan had also obtained a dragon vein, although it was later destroyed. Now, an even more powerful one has been born! Apart from that, another dragon vein was occupied by Feng Yujiang.

Feng Yujiang knew of that place’s presence of dragon veins, obviously from the nine divine kings.

“What will happen next with this dragon vein According to my intuition, I should be able to merge with it.” Shen Xiang thought. This dragon vein carries extremely powerful energy, making him doubt his ability to consume it, thus he changed his mind and felt even less likely.

As Shen Xiang was inwardly contemplating the matters of dragon veins, he suddenly heard a voice in the divine sea.

“Your current strength is not capable of merging with me, even Heavenly Sovereigns might find it difficult to tame me.”

This voice sounded youthful; it was reminiscent of a teenager’s voice. Upon hearing this statement, though shocked, Shen Xiang quickly realized it was that of the dragon vein’s voice.

The dragon vein unexpectedly awakened its spirit, possessing its own consciousness. This means that the dragon vein will no longer remain stationary like a piece of rock, and Purple Monkey can soon become an entity soaring in the Nine Heavens.

“You are the dragon vein” Shen Xiang asked in surprise.

“Correct. You were destined to be my master, and you should have merged with me when I was still young. This way, I would strengthen your might and waited for you all these years. However, you arrived now! And I don’t know why, I’ve become stronger and don’t want to be assimilated by you anymore,” said the dragon vein.

Shen Xiang reassured, “Relax; I won’t force you! Regardless of your past, you once helped us grow stronger for a period; I’ll remember this favor. As long as you don’t stray into the wrong path!” You were born from the Nine Heavens Realm and are now extremely powerful. You should become its guardian!

“I have nine fathers who imparted similar knowledge to me. However, they didn’t make me directly guard it; instead, I helped a human grow stronger that I認可. You’re not wrong about me,” said the dragon vein, “But now, it seems I can’t do that anymore. I’ve violated their wishes.”

Shen Xiang understood the complex feelings of this dragon vein, as it’s normal for someone to develop consciousness when they grow up. With its desire for the outside world, he could understand his situation.

“As long as you protect the Nine Heavens Realm, you won’t violate their wishes. This is your nine fathers’ ultimate goal—regardless of the method, you just need to accomplish it,” said Shen Xiang as he continued encouraging him.

“I understand! Thank you for understanding me. You’re the first human I’ve seen since awakening, and before that, I woke up to faintly acknowledge you. You didn’t misjudge me. Give me a name, please!”

Shen Xiang thought for a moment and said, “You’re technically now a dragon, so let’s name you Dragon Nine Heavens. Yeah, I’ll call you Dragon Nine Heavens.”

If Long Xueyi were here, she would certainly argue over naming him with Shen Xiang.

“I know your name is Shen Xiang, and earlier many were arguing over it,” said Dragon Nine Heavens with a smile, “I can’t merge with you despite being unable to, but I’m still helping you strengthen a little. In a while, I’ll separate from the ground and earth, then the Earth’s core will release a power that can strengthen your physical body.”

Shen Xiang’s current physical body isn’t strong enough, only reaching the level of Purple Golden Bone. His target is to attain Jade Bone, so this opportunity couldn’t be more perfect. To become a true god, he must cultivate Jade Bone.

“Alright,” nodded Shen Xiang.

He only just agreed when Dragon Nine Heavens suddenly roared and rushed towards the clouds.

The entire dragon body suddenly shot out, the deep pit spurting a strong heat accompanied by intense flames.

Shen Xiang, who was nearby, was immediately drawn by that heat!

“The Earth’s core is repairing itself, absorbing the power being released. If you haven’t reached its surface by now, it would be dangerous,” came the voice of Dragon Nine Heavens from above.

Shen Xiang wasn’t unfamiliar with the Earth’s core, having visited it several times before. However, back then, the core was much weaker than now; the current Emperor Heaven became so powerful because of the Earth’s core’s growing strength.

So, he wasn’t sure if his玄武金剛甲 and Fiery Dragon Sword could still protect him in the Earth’s core.

“The Fiery Dragon Sword was created by the nine divine kings back then; wonder why when I was in the Earth’s core, taking out Fiery Dragon Sword made the lava retreat. I wonder if it can still be effective now,” thought Shen Xiang, wanting to test it.

The Earth’s core was now mysterious to him, too. The last time he visited it, he killed the Earth Divine Tree, which led to him obtaining God Flame Seeds and cultivating Creation Flames.

“Alright, I’ll venture into the Earth’s core!” Shen Xiang was currently being slowly pulled down by a powerful force within that passage. Beside him, an unusual scorching power was also being constantly drawn downwards.

“What’s causing this heat Though it burns terribly, there’s a hint of pain relief,” Shen Xiang couldn’t tell if he was in pain or not, only feeling a tingling sensation. Suddenly, he felt immense pain but it quickly dissipated, alternating rapidly.

After a moment, Dragon Nine Heavens shouted anxiously from the sky above, “Hurry up!”

“I want to visit the Earth’s core; there should be no danger! Go around on your own first. If you find someone named Huang Jinren, teach him some things; he’s my master,” said Shen Xiang.

“The Earth’s core is dangerous and terrifying, you’ll die down there,” said Dragon Nine Heavens with great concern. Meanwhile, Shen Xiang sensed the fluctuation of power coming from him, as if he were using his strong force to pull Shen Xiang upwards.

“Don’t worry, I have a magic treasure protecting my body! I’ve been here before,” said Shen Xiang hurriedly. He was worried about missing this opportunity, otherwise, he would only be able to access the Earth’s core through the Dark Abyss passage. He didn’t know if that path was still functional.

“Alright, I’ll find Huang Jinren now!” said Dragon Nine Heavens, flying off without hesitation.

The dragon vein left the ground, creating a large crater. Meanwhile, Shen Xiang also entered the Earth’s core from that crater!

When the Earth’s core was closing that opening, it spewed a large amount of lava to fill up the deep pit. It also erupted with strong flames, fiery in color and even including black and golden hues, covering the entire Grand Sage City.

If Shen Xiang saw it now, he would certainly find this familiar. This is precisely the Earth Fire Domain.氣湧入地圖裡麵，金光閃閃，看得沈翔目瞪口呆。“這李天俊果然是一個奇人，連地圖都製造得這麼神奇。”沈翔驚歎了一聲。而那地圖此時已經變成了金色，在上麵繪製著這第一玄境的簡單路線圖，而其中一個標著紅點的地方。沈翔猜測那就是靈藥所在的地方。“這玄境還真大呀，竟然比王者大陸還大！”沈翔看著地圖。推測著這個玄境的大小。他現在所在的地方就是玄境的邊緣，雖然他走了大半天但還隻是邊緣。而地圖上標著的地方卻在東北方向...
