Chapter One: Picking Up a Holy Dragon Egg
Azure Dragon Mountains.
The mountains stretched on without end.
They wound their way forward.
Viewed from the sky,
they looked just like a gigantic Azure Dragon coiled there.
That was also one of the reasons behind the name of this mountain range, which occupied several thousand square kilometers.
Within the Azure Dragon Mountains, ancient trees towered into the heavens.
Dragon roars and tiger howls rang out from within.
Occasionally, serpentine creatures swam through the skies above the mountains.
There were also fiery-red figures that let out crisp cries, leading thousands upon thousands of birds through the air.
Giant beasts and celestial birds appeared and vanished among the mountains.
In a corner of the southwestern reaches deep within these mountains,
there was a village.
The village was isolated from the outside world. Although it was not at the heart of the mountains,
getting to a city would still require traveling more than two hundred kilometers.
Holy Dragon Village.
That was the name of this village.
Inside the village, the land was flat and open, and the houses were neat and orderly.
There were fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, bamboo groves, and the like.
Paths crisscrossed the fields, and the sounds of chickens and dogs carried from house to house.
The villagers came and went, farming and working—a picture of peace and prosperity.
Inside the village,
there was another such building.
The words "Holy Dragon Dojo" were written above it.
Inside, a young man was reclining lazily in a bamboo chair.
Suddenly!
The young man sat up.
His face was full of bewilderment.
"What's going on with me?"
"Did I transmigrate?"
New memories and information surged endlessly into his mind.
They made Chen Xuan understand his current situation.
This was a parallel world.
This world had all kinds of Phantom Beasts. They took on various forms and possessed different abilities.
Some Phantom Beasts could summon wind and snow, turning an entire sweltering region into a snowy domain.
Some Phantom Beasts could move mountains and overturn seas, easily destroying enormous mountain ranges.
Some Phantom Beasts possessed terrifying destructive power, capable of making a city of several million people vanish at any moment.
Most of these Phantom Beasts lived in the wild. Many could coexist peacefully with humans, and some had even become humanity's friends, companions, and helpers.
But there were also Phantom Beasts that hated humans and harbored hostility toward them. Attacks by powerful Phantom Beasts on humans happened frequently.
Of course!
With powerful Phantom Beasts came the Beast Tamers who had emerged to counter all kinds of Phantom Beasts.
They tamed powerful Phantom Beasts to resist the invasions and destruction caused by countless Phantom Beasts.
That was the wish of many Beast Tamers.
Powerful Beast Tamers were respected by everyone.
"Host meets the required conditions. System starting up!" "Startup successful. Automatic Treasure-Finding System activated!" "The Treasure-Finding System will automatically search for Phantom Beasts or other resources for the host three times a day!" "For every level the host's Beast Tamer rank increases, one additional treasure-finding opportunity will be granted." "Searching for treasure..." "Discovered a Holy Dragon Egg fifty meters from the host at the one o'clock position. The host is advised to retrieve it immediately!"
A mechanical voice!
It rang out in Chen Xuan's mind.
The system!
This was a scene that often appeared in novels.
Since he had already transmigrated, Chen Xuan was not surprised at all by the system's appearance.
"Holy Dragon Egg!"
Hearing the system's prompt,
Chen Xuan was startled, then overjoyed.
Just from its name, this egg sounded like it belonged to an incredibly powerful Phantom Beast.
A three-dimensional virtual Direction Marker appeared in Chen Xuan's vision.
Without the slightest hesitation, he rose from the bamboo chair.
He walked toward the Direction Marker.
The marker's distance and direction kept changing as well.
Under the system's guidance,
finally!
In the vegetable garden behind his house, he found an oval stone.
"This is the Holy Dragon Egg?"
Looking at the stone, which resembled a fossil,
Chen Xuan found it hard to believe that this was a Phantom Beast Egg.
But!
The system's Direction Marker was already displaying a distance of zero.
Moreover, the moment he looked at the egg,
information appeared as well.
Holy Dragon Egg
A Phantom Beast Egg abandoned in Holy Dragon Village. Because no one had discovered it for too long, it had been buried in soil, which had formed a layer of hard earth over its surface.
After the passage of countless years, it had finally seen the light of day again, washed free by the rolling rainwater.
