Chapter 518: Chapter 472: Placing the Dragon Eggs
As soon as the battle ended, Jiang Yuebai went to investigate the Sword Grass Sea but didn’t see the Silver Dragon or anyone else, only found some bloodstains on the ground.
She had no other distractions now, facing a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul required her full attention, so letting someone escape was truly regrettable.
Fortunately, the Soul Infant Fruit was in hand, and if all went well, she would soon possess new Divine Thought, controlling the clone, and mastering the situation.
Bai Jiuyou came rushing from the Sword Grass Sea carrying the Frost Dragon Horn larger than her whole person, followed closely by several Grass Dragons.
"I’ve collected everything that could be collected and erased traces that should be erased, those dragons want you to go back!"
Jiang Yuebai glanced back at the Sword Grass Sea, leaving no traces behind, still an endless expanse of vibrant green, full of vitality, showing no sign of having experienced a fierce battle.
The two Early-Stage Nascent Soul Grass Dragons were both injured, struggling to soar towards this side.
Jiang Yuebai knew it was the Winged Dragon aura on her attracting them.
Without a leader, the dragons in the Green Dragon Realm had been oppressed by the Human Clan for so long that they lost their edge, becoming loose sand, knowing only self-preservation; hence, they desperately needed a Dragon King.
Only with a Dragon King could the Dragon Clan truly stand upright.
"The people from here have fled, it’s not safe to stay for long, let’s move!"
Jiang Yuebai tucked Bai Jiuyou back into the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, a massive fog of colorless, odorless poison emerged around her, fully activating the Smoke Escape to flee towards the furthest distance west.
After three consecutive long-distance escapes, exhausting most of her Spiritual Energy, Jiang Yuebai finally stopped by the edge of an unnamed green lake.
Upon brief exploration of the surroundings, Jiang Yuebai discovered a small workshop, using the Crescent Pendant on her neck to conjure an illusion, disguising as an elderly male cultivator at the Early-Stage Golden Core.
She leisurely wandered within the workshop for half a day, and at dusk, saw a group of people driving dragons of various forms fiercely speeding overhead.
"That looks like people from the Fulong Sect’s Thousand Lakes Forest Sea base, what big event happened?"
"I don’t know, should we follow them to take a look?"
"Let’s go and see."
After a brief turmoil in the workshop, it returned to peace, and Jiang Yuebai rented a room in the workshop’s only inn.
She diligently went into seclusion for two days, making sure there wasn’t much happening outside, only then did she set up an Array, having Little Green guard in invisibility, and entered the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven.
In the small courtyard by the lake, Bai Jiuyou dismantled the fake mountain in the center of the pond, placing the dragon horn on top, which resembled an iceberg.
A Spiritual Vein Pulse was buried beneath the pond, another Demon Vein Pulse was placed in another location according to the Tai Chi Yin Yang fish eyes positioning.
When positioning, Jiang Yuebai didn’t know if it was a coincidence, but the winding Lotus Platform Mountain Range at the center of Lotus Platform Cave Heaven perfectly aligned with the Tai Chi center demarcation line.
The location she chose for the small courtyard was also on the fish eye of one side of the Yin Yang fish.
At this time, Jiang Yuebai did not know that changes were occurring beneath the Lotus Platform Mountain Range due to these two pulses.
At this moment, because of the dragon horn, a strand of frosty breath mixed into the Spiritual Energy in the courtyard, cool and invigorating.
Bai Jiuyou was manipulating the Ice Dragon Small Sword obtained from Daoist Long Ming’s body, constantly separating and merging control.
"The Grass Dragon took that guy and perished together with the Frost Dragon, apart from this item, nothing else is left." Bai Jiuyou declared while standing.
Jiang Yuebai was dumbstruck, "Huh? Didn’t I suffer a big loss then!!"
"Alas..."
Both the big and small individuals simultaneously sighed in regret, their expressions and actions identical.
Jiang Yuebai raised her hand, and the Ice Dragon Small Sword flew into her palm, "Is this a Spiritual Artifact?"
Bai Jiuyou nodded, "Yes, it might look small, but the materials and methods of refinement are highly complex, estimated needing at least three Frost Dragon Horns and Dragon Bones at the Nascent Soul Stage to produce such an item, there’s also three Frost Dragon Souls inside."
"Therefore, whether in terms of quantity of division, its power, or inherent hardness, it is over three times stronger than the Fire Dragon Sword among your Puppet Avatar. If you want to enhance the power of the Fire Dragon Sword, you can do it by refining Fire Element Dragon Bones and Horns into it, and injecting Dragon Souls."
Jiang Yuebai tossed the Ice Dragon Sword back to Bai Jiuyou, "You like ice element things, keep it for yourself, that Frost Dragon Horn..."
"It’s mine! Don’t touch it!"
Bai Jiuyou bared teeth, closely guarding the object entirely like Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai laughed, it felt as if she were seeing her younger self. Now, this feeling was truly intriguing, it was another her, yet seemed not like her. If she wished, she could have Bai Jiuyou behave like a Puppet.
However, Jiang Yuebai was unwilling; feeling this current state was quite good, Bai Jiuyou didn’t need to raise her Cultivation levels through meditation, having more time to assist her with numerous tasks in the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, following her actual body’s thoughts.
"What about the two Grass Dragon Eggs and the Soul Infant Fruit?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
"In your Spiritual Field, I’ve handled everything." Bai Jiuyou replied casually.
Jiang Yuebai arrived at the Spiritual Field and discovered a small pool tucked into its corner filled with bright red blood, surrounded by Arrays preventing Spiritual Energy from escaping.
The two Grass Dragon Eggs were soaked in the blood pool, this time the collected Soul Infant Fruit and Sword Iris plants surrounded the pool and dragon eggs.
Jiang Yuebai took one look and knew it was collected from the Nine-headed Flood Dragon, containing Green Dragon Essence Blood.
Previously, she had been studying records of classification for all dragons in the Green Dragon Realm, Green Dragon belonging to the wood element, always rumored that Grass Dragons were most closely associated with the Green Dragon bloodline among all Wood Element Dragons.
If any dragon could break the bloodline shackles and advance to a Green Dragon, then Grass Dragons would certainly have a greater chance than other Wood Element Dragons.
Concerning this, without practical case verification, no one knew if it could happen; many people said it was because the current Green Dragon was still alive, which made it impossible to appear a new Green Dragon.
It’s the same as Ao Juan, who evolved from Water Python into the sole Winged Dragon, the singular Winged Dragon in the world.
Yet, why are there two Azure Dragons among the Ten Great Divine Dragons?
Jiang Yuebai couldn’t understand, so she temporarily set aside the notion.
Bai Jiuyou shared the same viewpoint as Jiang Yuebai, believing that if there’s even a sliver of possibility, it’s worth a try, without losing anything.
Moreover, Bai Jiuyou managed the quantity of Green Dragon Blood, still leaving three gourds reserved for refining Green Dragon Essence Blood.
Jiang Yuebai dug out those five purple Soul Infant Fruits from the Spiritual Field, pondered for a moment, and then divided two to bury them around the Grass Dragon Eggs.
The Grass Dragons need the power of the Soul Infant Fruit to break open from their shells; certainly, these five fruits were found by the Grass Dragons for two eggs.
After all, they were rescued; nurturing dragon babies for them was right.
"You must strive hard, absorb the Essence Qi within this blood, if you can’t become a Green Dragon, then at least be the strongest Grass Dragon beneath the Green Dragon."
The blades of grass entwined around the two dragon eggs stirred slightly, seemingly understanding Jiang Yuebai’s words.
Jiang Yuebai stood up, holding three Soul Infant Fruits; if all goes well, she could split into three Divine Thoughts, using four minds at once, one more than before, which should suffice.
"I’ll go into seclusion in this workshop first, waiting until the Divine Split blossoms before proceeding."
Heading west from here through two lake regions leads to the largest Dragon Shadow Lake in the Thousand Lakes Forest Sea, where a larger workshop should have an Immortal Alliance base and Transmission Array.
"I wonder whether Anan and Brother Dog have written to me?"
