Chapter 297
“But Master, you don’t need to worry. He can’t block your path. His actions violate the Heavenly Dao, and there’s a predetermined fate in the dark. My Lord’s ascension to the Immortal Realm is the trend of the Heavenly Dao.”
The Divine Dragon’s tone changed, and his voice became calmer. “I’ve heard about the recent events outside. The key lies with those four envoys. Perhaps they have what Master desires.”
The Divine Dragon realized he couldn’t reveal things Su Chen didn’t know, but he could elaborate on things Su Chen did know.
“What’s the point of me ascending to the Immortal Realm alone? The entire Tianxuan Continent is under Heavenly Dao Great Emperor’s control, and no one can ascend. Countless exceptional talents are stuck at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm because they can’t find the threshold for ascension. They’re forced to stay there until their lifespan runs out and they die. This is too unfair to them.”
Su Chen couldn’t help but clench his fists. He would definitely take revenge on Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, but his actions were also shameful.
Although the Tianxuan Continent was just a small world, insignificant compared to the Immortal Realm, it didn’t mean that the beings in the Tianxuan Continent weren’t people. Why should their cultivation journey be completely cut short because of one Heavenly Dao Great Emperor?
If they had known they couldn’t cultivate and ascend, what was the point of everything they had done?
Hearing Su Chen’s words, the Divine Dragon couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. As expected of Master, although his personality was very different from his previous life, his inner self remained the same. This was what made him admirable.
Thinking of this, the Divine Dragon said softly, “It all depends on my Lord. You are the variable of the Tianxuan Continent. Only you can change all of this. But what lies ahead is unknown. You may have to go through many hardships. This is also what you must endure to return to your position. Others wouldn’t be able to bear it.”
Hearing this, Su Chen subconsciously clenched his fists. His expression didn’t change much.
Powerful enemies, an unknown journey, the burden on his shoulders—these were all things he should bear now. The only thing he could do now was to improve his strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, everything was just empty talk.
“I believe you’ve also heard about Lan Bo’s actions in the Western Wasteland. I wonder if you can lend a hand?”
Su Chen asked. If the Divine Dragon could join their team, Lan Bo would surely be defeated soon.
“I’m already in a soul state, trapped in this world. I’m also heartbroken about what’s happening in the Western Wasteland, but I can’t interfere. However, my Lord has the Divine Dragon Martial Soul, which has a natural suppressive effect on him. After I strengthen my Lord’s physique and temper your divine soul, the power of the Divine Dragon Martial Soul will also increase.”
The Divine Dragon said slowly, his suggestion very pertinent.
After hearing this, Su Chen didn’t dwell on it too much. After all, it was better to rely on himself than on others. Instead of trying to rely on others, it was better to strengthen his own power. That was the right path.
“By the way, you should be able to sense the aura of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon’s bloodline in me. I’ve contracted a young dragon. We accidentally came to the altar. She…”
Su Chen didn’t finish his sentence and looked at the Divine Dragon with a questioning gaze.
The Divine Dragon hadn’t carefully discerned it just now. He only felt that the aura was very familiar. He initially thought it was because of the Divine Dragon Martial Soul. Now that he carefully examined it, he did sense the bloodline of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
You had to know that the Dragon Clan hadn’t seen a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon for thousands of years. He himself was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. It was just because of an accident… and Five-Clawed Golden Dragons were extremely precious and rarely born. Now, this lineage was probably only the one Su Chen had contracted.
Fate had its own way. Su Chen being able to contract that Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was also Heaven’s will.
“Don’t worry about that. After my Lord goes out, bring her into the altar, and I will naturally pass on the bloodline inheritance to the younger generation.”
The Divine Dragon said with a smile, “After all, she’s considered my descendant. I’m relieved that she can serve by your side.”
Hearing this, Su Chen finally felt at ease.
“Thank you then.”
✿✿✿
He thanked him sincerely.
The Divine Dragon didn’t speak. Su Chen sat cross-legged. The Divine Dragon circled around him. Countless Divine Dragon illusions instantly appeared, surrounding him. Countless Sanskrit characters emerged, flashing with golden light, constantly shuttling through Su Chen’s body.
At this moment, beads of sweat appeared on Su Chen’s face. He gritted his teeth tightly. Only a sufficiently strong body could accommodate a powerful divine soul. Otherwise, it would explode and die.
The first step was to temper a strong physique. But this step was painful. It was equivalent to dismantling all the parts of the body and reassembling them more firmly.
He felt as if every inch of his bones was shattering bit by bit. Not only that, but a dense pain in his flesh and blood covered his body. The double torture of body and spirit made him grit his teeth, almost unable to breathe.
The Divine Dragon watched this scene quietly from afar, sighing in his heart. As expected of Master, ordinary people would have cried out in pain and begged for mercy at the very beginning, but Su Chen didn’t make a sound.
It was visible to the naked eye that the impurities in Su Chen’s body were being expelled. Not only that, but although his body was still the same body and his appearance was still the same appearance, he looked more heroic and charming than before. Even the aura around him had changed greatly.
If it was before, Su Chen would have been carefree and casual when there was no serious matter, like a dandy young master, indifferent. But now, anyone who looked at Su Chen would only feel that he was imposing and extraordinary. They would even feel a sense of inferiority, feeling that there was a great distance between them.
Soon, a lot of dirt appeared on Su Chen’s clothes. These were the impurities from within his body, a dirty mess.
This long process lasted for three whole hours before it was completely finished.
Su Chen couldn’t help but flex the muscles on his body. They were very firm. He casually threw a punch and felt that he could instantly shatter a thousand-ton boulder.
As expected of the Divine Dragon’s body tempering, it truly lived up to its reputation.
He vaguely felt that the body of the Divine Dragon Martial Soul within him was also strengthening. He even felt that the spiritual energy within it was purer and stronger.
This was just body tempering, and it had brought so many benefits. Su Chen couldn’t imagine what he would be like after tempering his divine soul.
“How long has it been?”
Su Chen couldn’t help but stretch and asked the Divine Dragon with a smile.
“It’s been three hours. As expected of my Lord. It might take others three days and three nights, but my Lord only took three hours to successfully temper his body.”
The Divine Dragon couldn’t help but express his heartfelt admiration.
“It’s already been three hours? Wouldn’t they be anxious waiting outside? Let’s hurry up and continue, or we won’t make it in time.”
Su Chen was shocked when he heard this. He had suddenly disappeared, and they must be worried sick.
