The Aloof Sacred Beast Azure Dragon

Chu Xinghe felt as if he had traversed a hazy world of starlight, the Beast God Talisman carrying him as if he were passing through the void.

With a sudden, intense feeling of weightlessness, he and his teammates all crashed down in front of a dilapidated palace.

When Chu Xinghe opened his eyes and looked around, he found that they were outside the dilapidated palace, surrounded by a gray void.

It's completely different from what I've learned about Spirit Beast Island these past few days.

Although it is called an island, Spirit Beast Island is actually a huge landmass surrounded by the ocean.

On Spirit Beast Island, you can see mountains and rivers, dense forests and deserts, glaciers and oceans...

Different kinds of spirit beasts exist in different environments.

Some of them excel in combat, while others possess powerful support abilities.

Everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, and tastes good is available, including various rare monsters with all sorts of strange and wonderful abilities.

But this place doesn't look like the so-called Spirit Beast Island at all; it's just a dilapidated palace. What's going on?

Before anyone could figure out what was happening, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the next second, a scene that shocked the eight people unfolded.

Amidst countless dilapidated palaces, a colossal dragon covered in blue scales soared into the air and arrived before the eight people in the blink of an eye.

The moment the Azure Dragon appeared, a terrifying aura followed. Faced with this dragon's might, even the group felt they could hardly move an inch.

Is this the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon, one of the legendary Four Sacred Beasts?

If even a remnant soul possesses such terrifying power, what level would he be in his complete form?

Regarding the origin of Spirit Beast Island... there are no historical records, only various speculations. However, from the Great Sage's words, Chu Xinghe still learned some things that might be related to Spirit Beast Island.

According to the Great Sage, in his time, the Beast God and the Four Sacred Beasts were real. However, there was no such thing as Spirit Beast Island; there was only Spirit Beast Continent. But the Spirit Beast Continent described by the Great Elder was much larger than the Spirit Beast Island.

That was a region no smaller than the Blazing Sun Continent.

The Great Sage has been sealed away for far too many years, Great Sage does not know what has happened in this world.

But that's all history now. At this moment, Chu Xinghe only wants to ask one question... Isn't it a bit too absurd that the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes without warning?

Because, according to Elder He was invincible in miscellaneous knowledge, during the last opening of Spirit Beast Island, everyone did not first appear here, but on Spirit Beast Island itself.

You must overcome various hardships and dangers according to the requirements of the dungeon, finally find the Azure Dragon's location, pass the Azure Dragon's test, and obtain the Star Chart...

Then you will need to overcome numerous hardships to find the White Tiger Divine Hall and undergo the White Tiger's test...

To be precise, under normal circumstances, you need to go through at least a hundred trials of mobs before you are qualified to see the BOSS when Spirit Beast Island opens!

It's like the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. No matter whether you finally get the scriptures or not, they won't agree to you skip even one of the eighty-one tribulations, right?

But what the hell does it mean that we've suddenly appeared at the Azure Dragon Divine Hall without warning?

This is Tathagata Tang Sanzang had just left the Great Tang Dynasty, and Buddha came up to him with scriptures, saying, "Holy Monk! Please accept our scriptures!"

This is completely unreasonable!

Chu Xinghe said that he had thought it all through before he came... The journey has been arduous and difficult, so you tell me, it must have consumed resources, right?

No matter what trouble we encounter this time, please rest assured, I Chu Xinghe, will only ever be rich!

You guys are responsible for encountering danger, I'll just throw all sorts of inhuman resources at them and that's it.

But now I haven't even given myself that chance... So, is there some strange problem with the landing point? Should we try landing again?

But Chu Xinghe didn't have much time to think before the enormous head of the remnant soul of the sacred beast Azure Dragon was already above the heads of the eight people.

At this moment, Douding'er excitedly took out the Spirit Beast Lock, the divine artifact of their Savage Wilderness Tribes, from his Qiankun Ring, and looked at the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon with great excitement.

Fortunately, Chu Xinghe reacted quickly and shoved the Spirit Beast Lock back into Douding'er's hand...

Damn... I don't know how Douding'er's brain is structured... The eight of us are here to undergo the Azure Dragon's test, we're here to complete the opening mission, we're not here to deliver human flesh snacks to the Azure Dragon...

If you were to throw that Spirit Beast Lock out, wouldn't the Azure Dragon be roasted alive on the spot?

Are you ready?

Eight people. "???"

Is everything ready yet?

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... Um... the sacred beast Azure Dragon, right?

According to the usual script, shouldn't you grandly introduce yourself as the sacred beast Azure Dragon... and then say that we've come here to undergo your test, or something like that...?

We must pass your test before we can obtain the Azure Dragon Star Disc.

What's with asking "Are you ready?" out of the blue?

Before anyone could even speak, the Azure Dragon swung its claws, instantly creating a massive vortex. The moment the vortex formed, the Azure Dragon spoke again in human language, "Offer spirit stones, I will open my domain, obtain the star chart, and pass the test!"

Simple and straightforward... highlighting a clean and decisive approach!

Everyone remarked on how aloof and unapproachable this Azure Dragon Sacred Beast truly was.

But at this moment, Chu Xinghe felt that Azure Dragon was not aloof at all.

So what's so aloof about demanding spirit stones as a sacrifice without even discussing the matter?

This is just too much enthusiasm!

Chu Xinghe was practically doubled over with laughter!

Previously, I had expressed regret that I had arrived at the Azure Dragon Divine Hall without encountering any difficulties, since I hadn't had any opportunities to consume resources along the way, right?

But now, the first step in Azure Dragon's test is to sacrifice spirit stones?

Is this for real?

I had everything planned out... We'd consume resources rapidly along the way, and once we met the Azure Dragon, we'd complete the challenge to obtain the Star Chart. Then, when I, Chu Xinghe, was setting up the formation, I accidentally knocked it over...

After all, although I, Chu Xinghe, am known as Innate Formation Mastery, how long have I been studying formations? Isn't it reasonable for me to mess up this formation?

If the formation collapses, will we have to start all over again?

I, Chu Xinghe, made a mistake. Shouldn't I be responsible? If I'm responsible for replenishing the resources, and this happens thirty to fifty times, wouldn't the resources just be consumed up quickly?

But Chu Xinghe never expected that before even seeing the star chart, he would have to sacrifice spirit stones to activate the Azure Dragon Domain?

This is too perfect... It's even more perfect than I imagined! Everyone sacrifices their resources, then the test begins. During the test, if you accidentally cause the test to fail, wouldn't you have to sacrifice again...?

Sacrifices require spirit stones, right...? I, Chu Xinghe, did something wrong. It's reasonable for me to use the spirit stones for your sacrifice, isn't it?

So without any hesitation, Chu Xinghe ran all the way to the vortex and threw a large number of spirit stones into it.

Seeing Chu Xinghe take action, the others naturally followed suit, and a moment later, the eight of them completed the Azure Dragon sacrifice.

The moment the vortex sacrifice was completed, the surrounding world began to spin wildly. Everyone felt that the Azure Dragon that had been hovering above their heads suddenly became enormous. With the change of the Azure Dragon, the terrifying dragon might made everyone's breathing become heavy.

Just as everyone was wondering what the Azure Dragon's test was, the Azure Dragon descended from the sky, and with its fall, a plate shimmering with Azure Dragon appeared before Azure Dragon.

"Come forward and take the astrolabe!"

As aloof as ever, Azure Dragon refused to utter a single extra word.

Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded when he saw this.

Why did they go up and take the astrolabe? What happened to the Azure Dragon's test?

Is Azure Dragon out of his mind...? His so-called test is just to see if everyone brought enough resources, right?

So if you invest enough resources, you can just take the birth chart, right?

Calling this a test is a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?

Just as Chu Xinghe was so angry he was about to wet himself, Zheng Yu spoke up and said he was going to get it. Zheng Yu strode towards the star chart in Azure Dragon's hand.

But just as Zheng Yu had taken a few steps, the usually taciturn Azure Dragon spoke again, "As long as you overcome your fear and come to my side, you can take the Star Chart!"

As Azure Dragon finished speaking, Zheng Yu had been walking Xiangqian, suddenly froze in place, a look of pain appearing on Zheng Yu face...

An invisible pressure fell on Zheng Yu, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

"This is the Azure Dragon's oppressive power... this is the Azure Dragon's test!"

"The Azure Dragon Palm embodies the might of the dragon; its test is not of strength, but of the heart!"

"Senior Brother Zheng Yu! Don't be intimidated by his imposing aura; it's just an illusion!"

The crowd called out to Zheng Yu one after another, and perhaps it was their encouragement that helped Zheng Yu begin to move Xiangqian with difficulty.

One step... two steps... three steps... But just as Zheng Yu took the eighth step, and was almost within reach of the star chart, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in the Azure Dragon's eyes. The next moment, Zheng Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood, and along with the blood, Zheng Yu sent flying backward.

Chu Xinghe caught Zheng Yu from the air. Seeing that Zheng Yu was somewhat listless, Chu Xinghe took out two Eighth Rank pills and was about to stuff them into Zheng Yu's mouth without saying a word.

Zheng Yu looked at Senior Brother Xinghe and the others who had gathered around him, except for Tantai Jing, with a bitter expression, and said, "I'm not injured, Senior Brother Xinghe, there's no need to waste your pills."

"What's the waste... there's plenty of this... eat it first..." Chu Xinghe didn't care about anything else and stuffed two Eighth Rank pills down Zheng Yu's throat...

Zheng Yu: "..."

Zheng Yu recovered quickly after swallowing the pill, it was unclear whether he was truly uninjured or if the Eighth Rank pill was simply too potent.

"Hmph, the second-best of the younger generation is nothing special. Let me, Tantai Jing, take down the astrolabe!"

Regardless of whether Zheng Yu had recovered or not, Tantai Jing took a step forward and headed towards the Azure Dragon...
