“Huh? Why would Sifu message me out of the blue?” Chen Xiaobei put away the Ambergris and picked up his phone.
The Prime of Tongtian would not contact Chen Xiaobei unless it was to bring important treasures or he had urgent news.
This time, he must have had some really important news for Chen Xiaobei.
The Prime of Tongtian: Xiaobei! I detected a shift in your lifespan. Are you planning on making a drastic change?
Chen Xiaobei: Making a drastic change? I was about to use two of my trump cards to radically increase my cultivation!
The Prime of Tongtian: Ah, no wonder! You have actually done it, have you?
Chen Xiaobei: Not yet. Not for the moment. Why are you so concerned? Am I not supposed to do that?
The Prime of Tongtian: It’s not that. It’s just that now is not the best time to do it!
Chen Xiaobei: 🙄Not the best time? Why? I’m actually about to start a battle soon. Increasing my cultivation would be really useful!
The Prime of Tongtian: I’ve been calculating, and you won’t be facing any misadventure any time soon. Whether your cultivation increases or not makes no difference at all! Keep both your trump cards in the back-burner for the moment. Use them at a later time – you’ll be surprised by the results!
Chen Xiaobei: Later? When, specifically? I made a pact with Lady Nuwo – I really need to increase my cultivation! I can’t wait too long!
The Prime of Tongtian: The specific time is when you complete the upgrade of your Netherspirit Battlescouter!
The Prime of Tongtian: The number of your disciples have exceeded one billion! Wait until you’ve upgraded your Netherspirit Battlescouter, and chosen your Heavenly Path Reward before you use your two trump cards. The pay-off will be doubled, and you will get twice the results with half the effort!
Chen Xiaobei: The trump cards’ yield will double? That’s incredible!
The Prime of Tongtian: That’s right! Of late, I’ve been attending talks at the Ancestral Lord’s, so I couldn’t send you any Red Envelopes! I can only remind you, and keep you from wasting the resources you have that are so hard to come by!
Chen Xiaobei: Thank you, sifu for giving me a heads up! I’ll keep the trump cards first! But the problem now is that I’m short on some of the materials needed to upgrade the Netherspirit Battlescouter! I still need two Three-Star Earth-God materials. I don’t know when I am ever going to find them all!
The Prime of Tongtian: I cannot reveal too much about your fate but you’ve made a lot of good friends, and they’ll help you find the two remaining materials!
Chen Xiaobei: Friends? 🥰 I have asked my friends to help me ask around! I guess I’ll just have to wait for the good news!
The Prime of Tongtian: it’s good that you understand that! The Ancestral Lord is going to continue his talk soon. I won’t be able to contact you anymore until the Mid-Autumn festival! Do you have any more questions?
Chen Xiaobei: Mid-Autumn festival? Sifu, will you be joining the Mid-Autumn festival Red Envelope snatching session?
The Prime of Tongtian: Maybe, I will. But I cannot say for sure! Anyway, during this period of time, you need to accumulate as many merit points as you can and increase your luck! If I do join the Red Envelope snatching session, I will make sure to send a really good item. Let’s hope you will be crowned the King of Luck!
Chen Xiaobei: Yes, sifu! I will do my best! I won’t let all your hard work go to waste!
The Prime of Tongtian: Alright, time’s up! I won’t be able to answer any more of your questions for the time being! You have to be diligent!
Chen Xiaobei: Bye sifu!
Chen Xiaobei pocketed his phone and left the lounge. For now, he would not be using the Ambergris.
“Zhufeng! Finally! I was just about to go get you!” Ling Qingfeng gave him a rare smile.
Chen Xiaobei raised his brow. “I know you’re in a hurry. Let’s make a move!”
…
Chen Xiaobei stepped out of the spacecraft and was immediately taken in by the unspoiled surroundings. “Wow! The view is incredible! Green hills and crystal-clear waters! It’s otherworldly! This is paradise!”
“This place is the most unremarkable planetoid in the entirety of Divine Dragon! Because of its great distance from the other planets, there’s no direct portal here. No one has set foot here for thousands of years!” Ling Qingefeng smiled. “The landscape and Spiritual Qi have not been exploited by humans, and therefore, they can manifest their most beautiful façade!”
“I see!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “We’ll admire the gorgeous view later. Let’s get to the ruin first!”
Ling Qingfeng took the lead. “Let’s go!”
The two of them ran the whole way to a giant mountain.
The road was craggy and crooked like a maze. On top of that, in order to conceal their secret, the Divine Dragon imperial family employed Qimen Dunjia* and planted a few labyrinths in the mountains.
If Ling Qingfeng had not been there to lead the way, Chen Xiaobei would have found himself lost and disoriented in the mountains.
…
Finally, they spotted a small-scale transportation portal with Divine Dragon carvings deep inside the mountains.
“That portal is the entrance to the ruin!” Ling Qingfeng said excitedly. “We’ve finally arrived!”
Chen Xiaobei studied the portal and asked, “Can I go through this portal?”
Ling Qingfeng looked taken aback. “Don’t you also have Divine Dragon’s blood? Of course, you can!”
Chen Xiaobei shook his head. “Your ancestor, the Divine Dragon, and my dragon bloodline are not the same dragons! Your blood and mine must be completely different too!”
The blood in Chen Xiaobei’s veins was that of the Primordial Witch Dragon!
“Different blood… That…” Ling Qingfeng crossed her arms. “I’ve never encountered a situation like this before. I’m not sure if you can pass through. You’ll have to try to know!”
“Mm, let’s give it a go then!” Chen Xiaobei nodded, stepping up onto the platform. “What should I do next?”
“Do as I do and put your hand on the dragon! It has a Spiritual Attribute and can distinguish different blood types!”
Woom!
Ling Qingfeng placed her hand on the statue and the dragon statue glowed green.
At the same time, the Spiritual Attribute began to connect with Ling Qingfeng. She only had to think it and she would be transported to the ruin.
“Let me try!” Chen Xiaobei imitated Ling Qingfeng and placed his hand on the statue.
But the statue did not react the same way it did. The statue let out a frighteningly loud roar that shook the earth.
“Shit…” Ling Qingfeng cursed under her breath. “Is the Divine Dragon rejecting your blood? This has never happened before. Quickly, take your hand off! We don’t want any trouble…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a strange scene unfolded before them.
