709 The Broken Dragon Vein
Because these newly born dragon spirits are like newborn infants, they can only act according to their instincts.
Although they are like dazzling stars, born from the fortunate destiny of the dragon vein, their instinct compels them to venture out and search for those with great fortune.
They cannot have any of their own will; they are like those who are driven, like tigers searching for prey, needing to lock onto their targets as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it is a battle between those with great fortune.
These individuals with great fortune are like torches in the darkness, visible from miles away. Once chosen, an invisible force drives them to fight each other, in order to gather the will of more people and create an even more magnificent fortune.
The victor is like a giant beast that devours the storm, absorbing all the dragon energy and a trace of fortune of the loser and making it his own.
The dragon aura of the defeated faded instantly upon defeat, its spirit vanished, and it ceased to exist, as if it had never left a trace in this world.
The victor's dragon aura became even more vibrant, as if it had been infused with new life.
Although it was relatively slow, the wisdom that was slowly growing was like a tender sprout, growing strong, fast and ferocious as the dragon energy devoured each other.
Gradually, after a few victories, they began to think and plan, constantly seeking new strengths and strategies to survive longer.
The three-section dragon couldn't help but look at the other eight giant dragons. Except for the one-section long dragon, who might not have experienced the cruelty of fighting for dragon energy, the other four-section dragons and two-section dragons seemed to be talking very intensely.
But each of them was formed by absorbing a lot of other dragon energy.
If a segment of a tree were to grow into two segments normally, it would typically take a thousand years, but what dynasty could stand for a thousand years?
I clearly remember it in my mind, and I think to myself, 'Now, I am the length of three sections, and according to common sense, I should have lived for three thousand years.'
However, in my memory, I only experienced three dynasties—this dynasty, the Fang dynasty, and the Kui dynasty.
In his memory, the three-sectioned dragon couldn't help but recall the year he was born.
That was an era of great turmoil, when immortals and gods appeared everywhere.
In my memory, there were many Martial Emperors and Martial Saints back then, and even one or two Martial Gods who suppressed the world.
Demon Saints, those legendary deities, also seem to have left their mark on that era.
At the end of the Kui Dynasty, which lasted for five hundred years, even in its final years, the dragon's energy still surged like the sea, vast and boundless.
I can't help but think of the immense power and magnificence of the dragon energy back then. Even now, recalling it still fills me with longing.
At that time, the largest dragon already existed, but it was only a three-sectioned dragon. Although it was majestic, it was not as robust as it is now. Its body stretched into the clouds, and it was unknown how far it extended.
There are also several other second-tier dragons.
Time knows no bounds, and the three-sectioned dragon sighed that he was lucky to have survived the late Kui Dynasty, just like another dragon.
The other countless other wisps of dragon energy that had been born with a trace of sentience had long been devoured by the two of them.
But it seems that after one's intelligence increases, one can enjoy the long years of absorbing dragon energy and growing continuously.
It felt as if I had transcended the mundane world, witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties and the vicissitudes of history within the dragon vein.
But the dragon's aura seems to remain unchanged, yet it also seems to change; the new dragon will certainly not tolerate the existence of the old dragon.
With the fall of the Kui Dynasty and the establishment of the Fang Dynasty, it seemed that he, as the dragon of the Fang Dynasty, could finally settle down peacefully.
But towards the end of the Fang Dynasty, everything seemed to have changed again. The newly born dragon energy was able to absorb dragon energy much faster than the old dragons themselves, and grew rapidly.
Moreover, since they possess a special destiny, the old dragons cannot actively destroy this dragon energy; they can only choose a new chosen one and let that chosen one compete for it.
Thus, the three-sectioned dragon accidentally glimpsed that the largest and oldest dragon was secretly dividing its dragon energy, which was then scattered like flowers by a celestial maiden towards the earth's veins in various places.
The three-sectioned dragon secretly followed one of the wisps of dragon energy and discovered that this dragon energy was actually in a backward county town, searching for someone whose luck seemed decent, but who was not a top-tier individual.
After extensive observation, it was finally discovered that the dragon energy that Old Dragon had released was split into countless fragments, making it difficult to estimate.
The other dragon spirits also seemed to have made some discoveries, but each had their own ideas, with some gathering most of their power to gather around one person.
However, by the end of the Fang Dynasty, many dragons had disappeared. The dragons that returned, though all grown larger, were not the same as before.
The dragon's aura remains unchanged, even stretching far and wide, surrounded by clouds and mist, but the dragon spirit is no longer what it used to be.
The earliest dragon appears to have been severely injured, suffering significant damage to its body.
Later, the Fang Dynasty became increasingly chaotic, with all sorts of giant dragons venturing out, making the dragon vein land increasingly unsafe, as if a great fear was about to descend.
The Three-Section Dragon itself also went out and split into several parts to seek out those destined to meet it.
After the dragon energy differentiated, each sought out a chosen one. The three-section dragon consciously differentiated its energy, and some of the lucky ones later followed some people around the Holy Emperor.
With a surge of luck, he gained countless times more dragon energy, resulting in his current form.
Most other dragon energies are similar; among the great dragons of the world, some are fortunate enough to find people with great fortune and survive the turmoil.
Later, the Holy Emperor divided the land and ruled it, and the dragon energy dispersed so that they did not have to kill each other, which is why there are now so many nine dragons.
However, of the nine dragons, the other half are newly born dragons, who are competitive and warlike, and also go out in various ways. Now, their hearts are restless.
Just like in this dynasty, the Holy Emperor suddenly disappeared, and all the dragon energy could not sense where the Holy Emperor was.
However, the dragon's energy and spiritual energy are in conflict, and it is difficult to survive for long after leaving the dragon vein. It needs to find someone with great fortune.
However, at this moment, the dynasty has not yet suffered too much loss of life, the earth's veins and dragon energy are still orderly, and the spiritual energy is not chaotic. It is just the beginning, and these dragon energies will not choose easily.
Most of them are still observing and encouraging other dragon spirits to try betting more.
Just as he himself had added his own bet to the eldest prince, the second prince already had the dragon's aura added to him.
The other princes were also chosen.
Even without the choice of a dragon spirit, if a prince cultivates royal techniques and absorbs dragon energy, he may eventually develop a dragon spirit consciousness within his body.
Although small, it slowly and actively absorbs more dragon energy.
The struggle with these old dragons for dragon energy seems never to have stopped.
Now, among the dragon spirits within the dragon vein, including myself, it's unknown how many old dragon spirits remain after the turmoil.
When a new dragon is born, the old dragon doesn't need to pay too much attention; it's extremely difficult for any dragon to achieve great things!
What unsettles many dragon spirits is that the dragon energy has begun to differentiate in recent days. Not all the dragon energy in the world gathers here, and some dragon energy seems to have stopped communicating with this place.
