Chapter 947 - Mystery
The distance between Jason and Jennifer and the ginormous tree that pierced through the clouds was several kilometers.
Yet, even then they were able to feel the searing hot flames of the dragon's breath that attempted to burn through the leafs of the tree top, only to be absorbed or scattered in the surrounding.
As such, the two young Cultivators were able to feel the hot flames that permeated the air despite being far away as it continued to ignite the clouds, and burn through everything as if they were never-ceasing flames.
This clearly showed that the flames of a true dragon were truly powerful.
While they stared at the magnificent dragon, it looked huge even from a distance of more than a few kilometers.
Its red scales gleamed brightly owing to the rays of sunlight that shone on them, while its yellow reptilian eyes had the distinct glint of intelligence within them.
Clearly bein able to perceive everything, Jason felt that the over-dimensional sized dragon's appearance was completely different to the True dragon soul he had seen within the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant.
In fact, Jason had figured out that there were two different types of dragons, broadly classified into western and eastern dragons.
In the end, there were likely to be more, but right in front of him was a western dragon that looked like an over dimensional-sized lizard with enormous wings made of bones and leather.
Yet, that was not what Jason found the most intriguing as he had only seen its outer appearance and not its true strength.
His Emperor Eyes told him that the Fiery red dragon was, at least, at the peak of the Specta stage.
In his opinion, it should have reached the Mecynar stage already.
This was quite interesting because Jason had never seen a being at the Mecynar stage before.
He had only heard about the Ancient Elders, and the Soul Monarch's strength and cultivation base, but had been unable to determine the difference in their cultivation base.
Jason knew that one would be able to enter the Specta stage, once the Origin Sona seeds within the merged vessel and soul blossomed.
Afterward, the Origin Sona flower would produce more seeds according to the provided mana, slowly filling every cell in the body with the seeds, nourishing one's body.
After that step was over, Jason had read that the Origin Sona flower would most likely perish, or rather, enter some sort of hibernation, while the Sona seeds that rested in every cell of the body would have to be provided with enough energy to blossom.
By the time the Origin Sona flower dies, one would have entered the Mecynar stage as the death of the Origin Sona flower would allow its seeds to absorb energy.
Before that, it was said to be impossible for the ordinary Sona seeds to absorb energy!
This meant that the entire body would be overflowing with energy once the Sona seeds within the body were filled with the respective cultivation energy.
Once the entire being would be fully provided and nurtured with the respective cultivation energy, one would be at the Peak of the Mecynar stage, before the next stage awaited one!
Both Jason and Jennifer had figured out this information owing to the Divine Maestro cultivation technique as it provided the necessary intel to nurture a being at the Mecynar stage.
They could have read the intel about the cultivation stage that followed suit, but in the end, with their current strength, it was not necessary to understand the rank that followed after the Mecynar stage.
In fact, Jason and Jennifer were already quite satisfied with their current cultivation base.
After all, Jason was only 27 years old, while Jennifer was only six years older than him!
In the face of powerhouses at the Specta stage, let alone the Mecynar stage, the two of them were just newborns, and that was not necessarily wrong.
Cultivators would lose track of time the longer they cultivated, and thought their body would age physically, their appearance would remain youthful and make them seem to be in their prime!
All of this was great, but what Jason wondered was the sight right in front of him.
He was not sure if the Origin Sona flower within the Fiery red Dragon had died, or not.
It was weird, as something feld odd within the Dragon as if a piece of it was missing.
This was confusing, and one of the few mysteries that had presented itself in front of them.
However, there was also the question of how a gigantic, cloud-piercing tree could devour a part of a Dragon's breath while scattering the remaining flames.
Other than that, Jason also questioned what kind of existences were hiding beneath the canopy of leaves, shivering in fright, only to freeze every single time the ferocious dragon released its searing hot breath.
Yet, despite all of this being mysterious to Jason and Jennifer, he was the most confused about Solaris' reaction.
Its black flames were still enveloping him and Jennifer, perceiving the searing hot flames of the dragon breath.
Because of that, it began to violently tremble, showing its desire to emerge from the Soul world in order to start devouring the scattered flames of a true dragon!
This astonished Jason quite a bit, but he paid heed to Solaris' request and allowed it to do whatever it pleased.
"If you can use the dragon breath to your advantage… do that, I guess? But don't be greedy as I don't really want to be instantly fried by a true dragon's flames…"
Jason was not really scared of the Fiery red dragon, whose majestic aura permeated several kilometers of its surrounding.
It even enveloped Jason and Jennifer, who should have been affected by it.
Yet, instead of that being the case, Jason's Celestia aura repelled the Dragon's aura before enveloping Jennifer with it, forming a protective layer around her.
In Jason's opinion, the Fiery red dragon must have noticed his arrival, but it didn't seem to bother about that at all!
There seemed to be a precise agenda behind its actions, but Jason had yet to figure out what exactly it was.
As such, he used some of his divine energy in order to enhance his eyesight and the passive effects of his mana.
After perceiving nearly everything about the Dragon's body, Jason had found out that it was an existence at the Peak of the Specta stage.
Yet, upon taking a closer look, something about its Origin Sona flower seemed weird.
During his journey with a few powerhouses at the Peak of the Specta stage he knew that an unscathed, or even dying Origin Sona flower looked different than the fiery red dragon's.
This indicated that there was something wrong with the dragon, which it was likely to try solving by climbing over the treetop.
The solution to revive its sickly-looking Origin Sona flower might even be the beasts residing in the treetop, or something about the tree itself.
Yet, despite its unique condition, the dragon's flames were still much more powerful than its cultivation stage; clearly representing the unique state of a Mythical beast!
In fact, the flames were scary enough to force one of the five beasts at the Mecynar stage that had been injured to hide with its family.
'I wonder what the dragon needs…'
At this moment, Jason's focus changed from the dragon to the cloud-piercing tree and the five beasts he saw hiding in the treetop.
"Oh…there is a flock of Rocs? I thought they were nearly extinct…well Dragons are by no means easy to find either…"
Seeing a bunch of five Rocs hiding beneath the coverage of the gigantic tree's dense canopy, Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit odd.
It had been an eternity since he had seen Rocs, but the ones in front of him were extremely powerful, to put it simply.
They cultivated in the path of Pryr and Maest, and each of them possessed, at least, one elemental affinity.
Interestingly enough, all of their affinities were different, and none of the five Rocs had the same affinity.
Not even the three younglings that were hiding in the plumage of their mother seemed to have one similar affinity!
As such, it was weird to imagine that they all belonged to a single family as elemental affinities were said to be hereditary.
However, from the looks of it, this was not the case, and Jason's gaze couldn't help but stop at one particular Roc youngling.
It had the wind affinity and made Jason recall a person from his past, someone he had forgotten for over nearly a decade.
'I wonder how Emily is doing.'
Little did Jason know that his path would once again cross with Emily, and the Elvyr race, whom he still owed a favor.
After all, the Elvyr race was one of the numerous races that had been sent out by the Primordial races in order to search their halfling, who had entered the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant!
