"Young human, you don't have to be nervous. I am a remnant soul of the ancient blue dragon left here to guard the trial ground. I will not harm you." The old voice sounded again, this voice revealed supreme majesty, yet as gentle as the wind.
“Ancient… Azure Dragon?” Yun Che looked up and repeated the name in confusion. But deep in his heart, he heard Jasmine’s shocked voice: “What? Ancient Azure Dragon? The Dragon God, the leader of all the divine beasts in ancient times—the Ancient Azure Dragon!?”
In the pitch-black sky, a pair of mysterious eyes suddenly opened. These eyes were huge and long, and their shape was similar to that of human eyes... This scene was very similar to the phoenix eyes that Yun Che saw in the Phoenix Trial Ground. The difference was that the eyes in the Phoenix Secret Realm were golden, while these eyes were a deep blue color that was even deeper than the sky.
At the same time, a boundless aura descended, like the sky overturning. In front of this aura, Yun Che suddenly felt that he was as small as a grain of sand in front of a mountain.
The depth of this aura was even stronger than the breath of the phoenix he had felt that day!
Under the influence of this soul aura, Yun Che could not even have the slightest doubt about the voice just now. This was a kind of mental interference under the suppression of absolute power. At the same time, the soul aura alone was so terrifying, how could that voice be lying?
“The remnant soul of the ancient blue dragon… the trial ground… Could it be that this place, like the Phoenix Secret Realm, is the place where you once stayed and left behind the inheritance of power?” Yun Che looked up at the pair of pale blue eyes and spoke slowly.
"That's right. The era of gods has ended long ago, and true gods have completely disappeared. But we are unwilling to disappear from the world completely, and we will try various methods to leave traces of our power and pass it on to future people with a predestined relationship, so that our former power will be passed on forever... After so many years, I finally waited for another predestined person. And in these thousand years, you are the first one."
"Me? The first one?"
"Yes, the first one in a thousand years." The voice of the ancient blue dragon sounded: "A thousand years ago, there were 129 trial participants who came here. But then, two dragons followed my breath and came here, and never left. They grew rapidly under the nourishment of the dragon god's breath and reached the peak of the sky. This is a continent with a very low power level. The existence of these two dragons makes it impossible for humans to get close to here. In addition, this place has long become a deadly wasteland where mysterious beasts gather. It is notorious, and the number of people who dare and have the ability to approach this place is getting smaller and smaller. Sometimes it is difficult to see a single person for a hundred years."
“No wonder there are so many mysterious beasts gathered here. It turns out there is the presence of the Dragon God’s aura.” Jasmine said softly, “The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range gathered because of the Phoenix’s aura, but here, it’s because of the Dragon God’s aura! Among the ancient mythical beasts, the Dragon God is at the top, and its level is even higher than the Phoenix! After the demise of the gods, many people dreamed of finding the remains of the Dragon God, hoping to obtain the power left behind by the Dragon God. Who would have thought that it would actually leave its power inheritance in this small Tianxuan Continent.”
"Although your ability to come here is not due to your own fate, you are qualified to accept the test I left behind... If you can pass the test I left behind, I can give you three drops of blue dragon blood, so that you can have the blood of the Dragon God. Are you willing?"
Yun Che did not respond directly, because at this moment, he was not concerned about whether to take the trial or not. After being shocked by the sudden appearance of the “Ancient Blue Dragon”, his mood calmed down again, and he said anxiously: “Ancient Blue Dragon, you are the most powerful dragon god in the ancient times. Then you…then you must have a way to save this person next to me! I beg you to save her…save her life, and restore her strength…If you can do it, I am willing to exchange anything for it, and I can pay any price.”
The fairy's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
The pale blue eyes flickered slightly, and then an old voice sounded: "She has been seriously injured, her five internal organs are failing, her profound veins and meridians are all broken, and her heart is overflowing with death. I am just a remnant soul and have no ability to save her... But, I know a way to save her. As you wish, not only can I save her life, but I can also fully restore her former strength... No, it will even lead to a breakthrough, allowing her to truly step into the realm of Emperor Profound."
The first half of Tai Gu Cang Long’s words dashed Yun Che’s hopes. The second half made him raise his head suddenly, his eyes gleaming with a strange light, and his voice trembled with excitement: “You…what did you say? You…are you telling the truth? Tell me quickly, what is that method…tell me quickly!”
After saying that, he excitedly bent down again and said to the fairy: "Little fairy, did you hear that? There is a method that can not only save your life, but also repair your profound meridians, restore all your strength, and even allow you to break through the bottleneck that you could not break through before... Did you hear that? This is what the ancient beast said in person, it is absolutely impossible to be a lie... Did you hear that!"
The little fairy's will to die was the despair of losing all her strength and becoming a useless person. The only thing that could eliminate her will to die was the hope of regaining her strength. Sure enough, after hearing the voice of the ancient blue dragon and Yun Che's excited shouts, the little fairy's eyes, which had been closed in despair, slowly opened a crescent-like gap, reflecting two eyes that were no longer completely dim, but full of desire.
“Ancient Azure Dragon, please tell me what that method is… No matter what the method is, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do it, please tell me!” Yun Che raised his head and looked into those blue eyes, and said loudly.
The ancient blue dragon's answer was calm but ruthless: "Although I know that method, you and I have no relationship, no favor or grudge, so I have no reason to tell you. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless you can pass the test I left behind and obtain my bloodline and power inheritance! Then, I will tell you the complete method of saving her. Otherwise, I have no obligation to tell you. You can choose freely."
"good!"
As soon as Tai Gu Cang Lao finished speaking, Yun Che nodded without even a hint of hesitation: “I accept your trial!”
As long as he can pass the trial, he can obtain the blood of the Dragon God and the method to save the little fairy. There is no reason for him to refuse.
"Haha, very good." The old voice laughed: "However, you don't have to agree so quickly before I finish speaking. The trial I left behind does not test the trial-taker's strength, but the trial-taker's talent, perseverance and will. The difficulty of the trial will vary according to the trial-taker's strength. Once you enter the trial ground, there are only two results. One result is to pass the trial and obtain the Dragon God bloodline, and the other result..."
"It's death!"
“There is no failure, only passing and dying.”
“…Then how many of the 129 participants who took the trial before them passed?” Yun Che took a deep breath and asked.
"I believe that you have never heard of anyone with the blood of the Dragon God on this continent. Because, none of the 129 trialists before passed the trial, and all of them remained in the trial ground forever, turning into dry bones. Moreover, the weakest of these 129 trialists is also at the Tianxuan realm!"
Yun Che: “…”
"In that case, do you still want to insist on entering the trial ground?" Taikoo Canglong asked slowly.
Yun Che glanced at the little fairy and nodded heavily. Even after hearing what the Ancient Blue Dragon said, his voice was still incomparably firm: “Of course!”
"Your answer was not forced. You have quite a lot of courage. And I feel that your determination is largely due to your desire to save the person next to you. In this case, I will open the door to the trial ground for you as you wish... Before entering the trial gate, you have enough time to prepare everything, especially mentally. You have the blood of the phoenix in your body, proving that you have successfully passed the trial left by the phoenix, but don't try to measure the difficulty of the Dragon God Trial by the difficulty of the Phoenix Trial."
"The Phoenix is kind and conservative. Even if the trials it leaves behind are difficult, they will never be so difficult that people will despair, let alone be fatal. As the supreme beast of all beasts, the Dragon God is the most proud of the world. The blood of the Dragon God will never be passed on to mediocre people. Only the supreme among humans with talents and willpower strong enough to become the overlord of heaven and earth are qualified to carry the blood of the Dragon God!"
"If you are confident that you have such qualifications and courage, then step into this trial door! If you stop, you live and she dies. If you step in, either you live and she lives, or you die and she dies. Make the final choice."
As the ancient blue dragon’s voice fell, a blue light suddenly flashed on the stone wall in front of Yun Che, and then a pale blue teleportation array more than two people tall appeared.
The teleportation array leading to the trial land.
Yun Che did not immediately move forward, and asked again: “Ancient Blue Dragon, if I pass this trial, how long will it take?”
"The time is up to you...it could be a few days, a few months, or even a few years." This was the answer from the ancient blue dragon.
Looking at the little fairy lying on the ground with a weak breath, he frowned and said resolutely: "Then, can I take her into the trial ground with me?"
"You can, but I don't support it." The ancient blue dragon said in a heavy voice: "The Dragon God's Trial can be entered by multiple people at the same time. But the difficulty of the trial will increase with the increase in the number of people, and it will be increased based on the strongest person among the multiple people. In other words, if you bring her in, the difficulty of the trial will be doubled based on your ability! You will encounter a trial that is twice as difficult as if you enter alone!"
“Okay, I understand.” Yun Che nodded slowly, the determination in his eyes not diminishing or wavering at all: “Then I choose to bring her in with me.”
Once you enter the trial ground, you don't know when you can get out. In the fairy's current state, she must rely on his profound energy to protect her heart meridians in order to continue to support herself. If she is left here alone and enters the trial ground by herself, she may die at any time.
"If this is your decision, I have no right to interfere. But you should know that after you bring her in, not only will the difficulty of the trial double, but you will also have to protect her all the time, which will not only distract you, but also require you to divert some of your profound energy to protect her lifeline... This is an extremely unwise decision."
“Don’t… care… about… me… don’t take… me with you…” The little fairy’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and a voice as weak as the gentle breeze came from her lips.
Yun Che squatted down, looked into her eyes, and said softly: "You did this for me. As a grown man, how can I just abandon you like this..."
"Men?... I... don't need... a man's... protection..." The little fairy's lips were pale, and every word she uttered took a lot of effort.
“You don’t have the final say on this matter!” As the fairy moaned softly, Yun Che picked her up and walked towards the trial door: “You have your reasons for rejecting men and not needing men, but as a man, I understand better what a man should do. Now, you don’t need to think about anything, you don’t need to say anything, I just want you to live well for me... When I pass the trial and recover all your strength, you can scold me, beat me, say that I hugged you without your consent, and blaspheme you... But now, before you recover your strength, everything about you... is up to me!”
After saying this, without giving the little fairy a chance to open her mouth to stop him from refusing, he hugged the little fairy and rushed into the teleportation array of the trial ground at a rapid pace.
The moment Yun Che stepped into the cave holding the little fairy, the teleportation array disappeared. After a while, the long voice of the ancient blue dragon rang out in the dark cave: "Haha, what a good boy. Although his soul is filled with an astonishing bloody aura, he has completely passed the test of character and courage."
