Chapter 85: Chapter 63: Lost a Dragon!
However, Zhao Yi was extrely shocked by the strength of the Zhao family.
More than 1,200 Tier Nine Saint King Realm.
Was the Zhao family truly that terrifying at its peak?
No.
Suddenly, Zhao Yi realized sothing.
Miaoyin Zhenren did not ntion the peak of the Zhao family when she stated this number.
So, how many Tier Nine Saint King Realm does the Zhao family have now?
Five thousand? Ten thousand?
Zhao Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Miaoyin Zhenren said his Mystical Gate was like a sea, unable to cultivate.
But what if thousands of Saint King Realm were to fill him up?
Even a pig would eventually turn into an elephant with such an infusion, right?
At the sa ti.
Zhao Yi also felt the pressure of the blood curse.
The Zhao family’s ancestors, in order to change their fate, actually scoured the entire world.
Unfortunately, in the end, they found nothing.
Zhao Yi had reason to suspect.
The Four Seas Dragon Race was completely targeted by the Zhao ancestors.
They couldn’t find the Red Gold Celestial Dragon.
So they vented their anger on the Four Seas Dragon Race.
After all, just by the na, one can tell the Red Gold Celestial Dragon has nothing to do with the Four Seas Dragon Race.
One dwells in the sky, the other in the water.
Even if they slaughtered all the dragons.
It wouldn’t help them find the Red Gold Celestial Dragon!
Zhao Yi asked Miaoyin Zhenren: "What does the Dragon God Sect speculate?"
Miaoyin Zhenren replied: "The Dragon God Sect believes there is no Red Gold Celestial Dragon in this world, and the so-called Red Gold Celestial Dragon is actually an imagination concocted by the Zhao ancestors!"
Upon saying this, Miaoyin Zhenren looked at Zhao Yi, the corners of her mouth curling up.
"The Dragon God Sect thinks the Zhao ancestors were actually madn!"
"The Red Gold Celestial Dragon was his imagination, and that’s why later generations scoured the world and couldn’t find that dragon!"
"The Dragon God Technique created by the Zhao ancestors based on an imagined celestial dragon naturally has enormous flaws."
Miaoyin Zhenren continued: "The Dragon God Sect’s theory is highly accepted among the Zhao family."
"mbers of the Zhao family have studied the Dragon God Technique for a thousand years and discovered that this divine technique is not rely about bloodline inheritance."
"Sobody once tried exchanging other people’s blood with that of the Zhao family and then filling them up. In the end, without exception, those who received the blood transfusion died from explosive body syndro!"
Upon saying this, Miaoyin Zhenren displayed a look of astonishnt.
"In the twelfth generation of the Zhao descendants, which is your great-great-great-grandfather’s generation, there was an exceptionally talented healer."
"That healer found a common elent in the Zhao descendants, which he called the inheritance fragnt. This fragnt only passes on among the Zhao family, and even blood exchange doesn’t work!"
"Because of this fragnt, the Zhao family can practice the Dragon God Technique! Moreover, this fragnt is related to madness."
"The healer discovered that as long as the fragnt is within the body, madness would occur around a certain age, even without practicing the Dragon God Technique. It’s just that madness occurs a few years later than for those who do practice it."
"The reason the Zhao descendants have a familiar feeling toward the Red Gold Celestial Dragon also cos from the sensing of that inheritance fragnt."
Dominant inheritable gene?
Upon hearing Miaoyin Zhenren’s description, Zhao Yi’s mind imdiately recalled genetic knowledge he had long returned to his high school biology teacher.
The inheritance fragnt discovered by the Zhao healer is likely the genetic gene from Zhao Yi’s previous life in high school biology, and it’s a gene fragnt that drives one mad.
According to the Dragon God Sect’s theory, the Zhao ancestors bound the Dragon God Technique with the gene fragnt.
As a result, naturally, only Zhao family mbers can practice the Dragon God Technique.
But the price is inescapable from the mortality curse at sixty!
The logic is coherent!
Zhao Yi nodded in thought: "The Dragon God Sect’s speculation does have so validity; the key is that they can self-consist, making it more convincing than the Dragon Race faction’s vague speculation."
Miaoyin Zhenren nodded in agreent: "Over at the Imperial Clan Court, most indeed agree with the Dragon God’s theory as well."
She finished with a twitch at the corner of her mouth: "Leading among them is Prince Zhi, who perfected and supplented so critical evidence for the Dragon God theory."
Prince Zhi?
Zhao Yi thought of that exceptionally brilliant man.
He sighed.
If he hadn’t been born into the Zhao family, Prince Zhi might have beco a sage who astounded the world.
Now he’s beco a madman.
Within the Zhao clan, countless are like Prince Zhi!
"Forget it, I won’t think about it all!"
Once Zhao Yi confird that the Dragon God Technique wasn’t a trap, he felt relieved.
Then, he looked at the little poisonous creature beside him, lying on the ground, pouting while sneakily nibbling on a grilled fish that had fallen on the ground.
Zhao Yi said irritably: "Alright, stop pretending to be dead, and bring that dragon egg over!"
"Got it!"
The little poisonous creature answered, took another bite of the grilled fish, and then crawled into the carriage.
Shortly after, the little poisonous creature ca out holding a giant black egg with a tallic sheen.
The little poisonous creature held the egg up to Zhao Yi and said proudly: "Master, your egg has been brought!"
Zhao Yi: "..."
Miaoyin Zhenren almost died from laughing.
She winked at Zhao Yi and said, "Crown Prince, your egg is truly magnificent!"
Zhao Yi glared fiercely at her, his face instantly darkening.
"Is there no one else left at Xuanzhen Temple?"
"Why did they choose this sharp-tongued woman as the temple master?"
At this ti, Zuo Xiaoluo finished clearing the battlefield and walked over.
She looked at the pitch-black dragon egg, her eyes curious: "Benefactor, is this an egg?"
Zhao Yi nodded: "Yes, it’s a dragon egg!"
After speaking, he thought of the situation on the battlefield and asked, "How is the battlefield cleanup going?"
Zuo Xiaoluo moved her gaze away from the dragon egg and replied, "Twenty-seven of our people are injured, all minor, no fatalities or severe injuries. The remnants of the Heaven-Facing Sect total three hundred and sixty-seven; three hundred and twenty-two fell to their deaths, the remaining forty-five died on the way crawling to the camp!"
Zuo Xiaoluo finished, looking amazed: "Among the fallen remnants were Great Cultivators of the Tier Five True Essence Realm. Such cultivators are hard to kill on the battlefield, yet they’ve fallen to their deaths. I wonder how Prince Zhi managed it!"
"Prince Zhi didn’t do anything!"
Zhao Yi recounted the previous events once, finally asking, "How is that elderly man with the cane?"
Zuo Xiaoluo was still imrsed in Prince Zhi’s terrifying record of wiping out the Heaven-Facing Sect remnants with a single sentence.
Hearing Zhao Yi’s words, she was a bit dazed: "That Tier Nine Saint King Realm elder with the cane was sealed by a restriction!"
Finishing, she still found it hard to believe: "The one who enforced the restriction turned out to be a donkey?"
Learning that the donkey was so formidable, Zhao Yi’s mood soured further: "That donkey was supposed to be mine; Prince Zhi snatched my treasure, not behaving like a proper elder!"
Miaoyin chuckled to herself on the side.
Her Mingdi Bird was also snatched while with Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi always had good fortune, picking up treasures whenever he ventured out.
Whenever he found sothing interesting, soone would co to trade with him.
That’s how Zhao Yi amassed a fortune to rival the nation.
Zhao Yi’s exploits were legendary within the Great Xia Dynasty.
Zuo Xiaoluo naturally had heard of them too.
She looked at the dragon egg before her and asked Zhao Yi, "Benefactor, is this egg also one of your miraculous encounters?"
Zhao Yi nodded without hesitation: "Indeed!"
Strictly speaking.
This dragon egg was supposed to be the male lead’s miraculous encounter.
But since it was now in his hands.
It was his!
Zuo Xiaoluo mysteriously produced a kitchen knife, looking at the dragon egg eagerly.
She asked Zhao Yi, "Benefactor, I have never cooked with a dragon egg before. Can I borrow this egg to try it out?"
"Sure!" Zhao Yi nodded.
After obtaining the dragon egg, Zhao Yi had tried all sorts of thods.
Chopping with knives, hacking with axes, drowning in water, burning with fire.
He even attempted blood recognition many tis.
But ultimately, could do nothing with it.
If Zuo Xiaoluo wanted to try, she might as well go ahead.
Zhao Yi used to think it was quite improper for a Grand General to be constantly cooking.
Until he saw her arranging dismbered bodies in a heart shape.
Zhao Yi suddenly felt cooking wasn’t a bad hobby!
Seeing Zhao Yi nod, Zuo Xiaoluo wielded the kitchen knife and directly chopped at the dragon egg.
Crack!
The expected sound of clashing tal didn’t occur for Zhao Yi.
Instead, a sound of breaking egg shell was heard.
Zhao Yi was first taken aback, then quickly turned his head.
Then he saw a massive crack appear on the indestructible dragon egg!
Damn!
Zhao Yi nearly broke down!
He had spent so many days researching this thing without breaking it.
And now it was chopped open by a kitchen knife?
How is it even possible to chop it open?
Zhao Yi felt completely undone!
He had journeyed countless miles to co to this godforsaken place just for the Divine Beast within the Array of Protection.
Now that the egg was broken, could they still break the array?
Zuo Xiaoluo didn’t notice Zhao Yi’s expression.
She drew back the kitchen knife, dipped her finger in so egg liquid, sniffed it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"The egg is very fresh!"
Zuo Xiaoluo asked Zhao Yi, "Benefactor, how do you want to eat this egg?"
Eat an egg!
Upon hearing the egg liquid was fresh, Zhao Yi was completely undone.
The egg liquid being fresh.
ant the egg was still alive.
That was a dragon!
ps: Received an IV drip this morning, slept the entire afternoon, finally feel alive.
pps: There’s one Chapter left; even if it kills
at the keyboard, I’ll finish both Chapters. I’ll settle yesterday’s Chapter debt tomorrow!
