Chapter 1747 - Fishing Up the Dragon Nest
The underground opening was just a cover. The ancient caves underneath were like spiderwebs, extremely concentrated.
When they followed a path down to its end, they saw primal chaos.
This was a small world!
Moreover, this place had previously been sealed, only recently undone. There was a crack that could be entered and exited through.
Qingfeng was extremely excited, now already stirred up. It was as if he returned to his youth, when he and Shi Hao ran all over the mountains, looting vicious bird nests, digging up beast caves.
Moreover, now, they were looting a True Dragon nest!
During these past ten years, as Stone Emperor, he had to treat everything seriously, couldn’t do things with the nature of a youngster, which was why his true nature had been somewhat suppressed.
Now, while following Shi Hao, he felt a bit like a naughty child doing things he shouldn’t.
“There really was a dragon nest!” Even the golden lion was a bit stupefied, greatly shaken up.
Previously, it didn’t attach much importance to that little dragon at all, just feeling like its blood was still rather pure, worth capturing alive to eat.
Now, it seemed like there really was something different, a greater issue.
Through the primal chaos crack, Shi Hao saw a bit of the scene inside. Mists rose, primal chaos thick. What he saw first was a cliff, on it a nest.
It isn’t an imperial city, nor is it a dragon palace, but a nest?” Shi Hao had an expression of shock on his face.
He opened his heavenly eyes, clearly seeing that there was a nest there, like that of a bird’s. It wasn’t that large, built from divine wood.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao’s pupils rapidly contracted. He saw three eggs, their diameters a larger half a meter. Dragon patterns covered them densely, extremely complex, engraved on the egg shell.
One could vaguely make out waves of draconic sounds that roared into the clouds.
“Heavens, True Dragon eggs, so many of them appearing at once! This really is a nest!” The golden lion released a strange cry, even it was moved.
This was the remote lower realm, within the so-called eight cages, yet there were True Dragon eggs!
Even Shi Hao was moved. He actually ended up running into a nest of dragon eggs, moreover not just a single one.
Three dragon eggs, patterns interweaving on their surface, the draconic imprints too clear. Most important was the draconic energy that was so thick it wouldn’t dissolve.
Among them, there was a dragon egg that was shining. Shi Hao vaguely sensed a familiar aura, precisely the crimson dragon Ge Gu, its primordial spirit was inside the egg.
“There’s something off.” Shi Hao said to himself.
It was clearly born into the world, so why did it enter the egg again?
“Are we going to immediately enter?” Qingfeng was stirred up, rubbing his hands. Right now, he didn’t look like the Stone Emperor at all.
“There’s no hurry. Have you not heard of the term ‘dragon abyss tiger den’? There is definitely extreme danger here, once we enter, the consequences will be hard to predict.” Shi Hao reckoned. They definitely couldn’t capture it immediately.
He had long sensed that this place was different, that there was danger here. Otherwise, how could it protect so many True Dragon eggs?
Regardless of whether it was Qingfeng or the golden lion, they couldn’t sit still, wishing to enter.
“Let’s go back first, we’ll return early the next morning. If we want to enter, I think we’ll have to expend quite a bit of effort.” Shi Hao said.
When he left Stone Village, there was a group of young and old gathered, reuniting and holding a celebration. If they tossed and turned for several nights here, then those people would become worried.
They followed the original way back. Shi Hao set up a formation, sealing up the mountain range outside the underground entrance.
He sat on the golden lion, the lion carrying both of them. Lightning coiled about its body, a single leap taking them a thousand li, just too fast.
When they returned to Stone Country’s Imperial Palace, Qingfeng made some simple preparations, and then immediately followed Shi Hao to Stone Village.
“Aiyaya, Uncle Qingfeng and Uncle Little Stone returned! A group of children shouted.
This was clearly going to be a sleepless night. Stone Village was full of cries of joy and cheerful talk, all types of delicacies everywhere. There was fine wine being unsealed, the fragrance wafting out.
As for the various good things Shi Hao brought back from the higher realms, he continuously distributed everything out.
“Uncle Little Stone, you are only giving each of us a single sunflower seed?” The children were almost speechless.
Weapons, bone books, Shi Hao gifted a huge pile of these things, but when it came to ‘snacks’, he was exceptionally careful. The vicious beast meat was one thing, they knew they couldn’t touch them, because they were from high level divine beasts.
However, it was just sunflower seeds, yet he was still so stingy. Some of the children pouted.
“What do you all understand? These are divine force seeds, a single one will be enough for you all to roll all over the ground, unable to sleep all night.” There was an older generation figure who said this with a smile.
It was because in the past, Shi Hao had already brought over this type of thing.
“Demonic Sunflower Garden’s seeds, a type of powerful creature. These seeds that I brought back, even the weakest have cultivation many times greater than yours.” Shi Hao said.
Then, he thought for a bit and said, “This won’t do, these seeds have to be roasted well before you can eat them. Otherwise, if they are accidentally left in the ground, they might even produce Demonic Sunflowers!”
Shi Hao really was scared of some Demonic Sunflowers reviving, producing more of themselves through the seeds.
Pi li pa la!
He personally took action, refining all of them. They were all properly roasted, and then they were distributed again.
There were some children who didn’t believe unless they tried themselves, directly eating it. In the end… they ran all over the village, their bodies erupting with divine light, surging with magical force. They were full of endless energy that night, not stopping at all.
“Haha…” A group of adults roared with laughter.
After Qingfeng returned, he was met with all types of surprises. When he saw the divine medicines, touched the Heavenly Deity Trees, he began to wonder if he was dreaming.
Without a doubt, that night, Stone Village was extremely festive, many people becoming drunk.
Shi Hao already had plans the next morning, bringing Qingfeng and the golden lion with him, preparing to dig up that True Dragon nest.
When he hurried back this time, Shi Hao held the Everlasting Sword Core in hand, as well as the black-gold cauldron covered in cracks to protect himself. He walked at the very front, exploring the way.
They entered through the primal chaos crack, entering this small world.
Chi!
In midair, there was a streak of sharp sword light that hacked down. With a dang noise, the black-gold cauldron was struck flying, ringing with noise.
They raised their heads. There was a horn that was broken, dripping with blood, dull and lacking luster.
“True Dragon Horn!”
The golden lion sucked in a cold breath of air. This was a damaged True Dragon Horn. Blood was dripping from it, but the droplets would evaporate while still in midair, disappear.
It was clear that the essence had already completely disappeared. Otherwise, a drop of mature True Dragon blood could destroy many stars, crush rivers of stars, the power unimaginable.
This place was terrifying after all, outside of Shi Hao’s predictions.
“Qingfeng, wait for me outside the primal chaos crack!” Shi Hao ordered. This place was too dangerous, a single mistake and he might die.
He didn’t want Qingfeng to be in danger.
After a bit of hesitation, Qingfeng quickly turned around, because he knew that he would only be holding Shi Hao back if he insisted on continuing forward.
A True Dragon Horn was resting there, actually producing all types of scenes. They saw many battle scenes of the archaic Vicious Ten’s number one.
The dragon horn tore through the universe, its body unfolding, cutting across time itself, fighting a decisive battle against an undying king!
“It’s them!”
Shi Hao’s expression was fierce. He saw Anlan’s figure, Shutuo’s weapon, as well as Scarlet King’s precious furnace.
The Vicious Ten’s number one was surrounded!
In that place, just a single drop of dragon blood would destroy a sea of stars. The scene was too terrifying.
“Senior, I didn’t come here to harm your descendant, but rather because I wanted to help them grow!” Shi Hao said quietly, these words sincere.
That damaged horn was cracked, about to be destroyed. Right now, it descended, still releasing weak light, flying towards Shi Hao.
Soon afterwards, at Shi Hao’s side, the void image of an iron blood war banner appeared. This was the aura left behind by the Immortal King Corpse Wrapping Cloth on his body. It was actually drawn out.
When it saw this scene, the damaged horn moved aside, allowing them to walk over.
The golden lion shivered inwardly. It knew that if not for Shi Hao belonging to the Nine Heavens’ side and having been sensed by this dragon horn, an extremely dangerous event might happen here.
Kacha!
In the void, a stone wall appeared, floating in the primal chaos. It was covered in cracks, but some Immortal Ancient characters could still be clearly seen on the surface.
After Shi Hao carefully read through them, he released a sigh, feeling sadness for the True Dragon bloodline.
Its descendants were schemed against. The eggs were still there, but they might not be able to hatch, possibly becoming stillborn.
In that moment, Shi Hao felt great killing intent towards the other side. Those people’s methods were incredibly vicious after all, wishing to pull this entire clan up by the roots. This wasn’t a special example, but rather a widespread massacre.
For example, the Heavenly Horned Ants, their bloodline suffered the same thing, wiped out. The little Heavenly Horned Ant was also plotted against. It was only because its father’s magical force was heaven connecting, paying a huge price to save him, that he was sealed in the underground palace.
In reality, there were other true immortal descendants who suffered persecution. Left with no choice, many of them were sealed in primal chaos. Heaven-defying formation were established to activate their life force, hoping that they could appear in the world again after endless years had passed.
When the Heavenly Horned Ant appeared, Shi Hao already learned that after many immortal figures were completely wiped out, even if some of their descendants survived, their abilities would also be weakened.
Only some creatures could defy fate, for example, the Heavenly Horned Ant whose father was too heaven-defying, able to use the endless years to cure his son.
Now, even if these True Dragon eggs could produce hatchlings, it was unknown if their strength would decline greatly.
“The methods of true dragons are heaven-defying, I believe that it can definitely ensure the survival of at least one or two descendants.” The golden lion said.
Shi Hao nodded. He arrived before the stone cliff, moving aside the primal chaos, climbing it. He stood before the dragon nest.
Hong!
Suddenly, a grand scene appeared. A True Dragon moved its tail, smashing apart the cosmos, tearing open a great ancient world.
“Precious technique?”
“Past war scenes?”
In front of the dragon nest were intense scenes of fighting. Those were imprints, shocking Shi Hao and the golden lion.
This was the True Dragon fighting, moreover facing more than a single undying king. Blood splashed over the skies, shocking past, present, and future. It was worthy of being the past number one vicious beast, magical force matchless, just too powerful.
Peng! Anlan was swept by a True Dragon tail, his arm breaking. Dang! Shutuo’s weapon was struck by a dragon claw, a piece coming off!
Honglong!
The stars exploded, large amounts exploding, brilliant radiance burning past and present!
True Dragon blood scattered outwards, every single drop as if it could reverse the great river of time, summon divine weapons from the boundless great river, the power incomparable.
