Golden Dragon's Pure Land

"Senior Titus, please follow me."

Aurora a soft murmur, then pulled a teleportation rune from the gap in the scales.

As the runes flickered, the surrounding space gradually distorted, and a large portal, large enough for a dragon to pass through, appeared inside the cave.

Sensing the unfamiliar spatial fluctuations, Keosius's golden eyes flashed, and he directly saw through the destination of the portal.

Demiplane.

Similar to all ordinary planes, but only a non-dimensional space with measurable size and finite pathways.

Other planes can theoretically be infinitely large, but Demiplane is finite, and may even be only a few hundred feet in size.

Demiplane can exist for many reasons. They can be created by arcane or divine magic, or by the will of a powerful god or other forces. They can also exist naturally, such as as a folded universe system that has separated from a constricted universe, or an infant universe whose energy is growing.

Recalling what he had learned before, Keosius gazed at the spatial passage and asked softly, "This is... Demiplane?"

Aurora replied with considerable pride, "Yes, our Loz has its own Demiplane, called ' Eternal Order Realm '."

It is the common home of the Skincarver Dragon, and also our best place for training.

"Eternal Order Realm, huh? That sounds pretty good." Keosius sensed the blurry spatial coordinates and uttered the name again.

"Of course, Senior Titus, you'll see once you go inside; it's probably even better than you imagine."

The two Golden Dragon, one large and one small, folded their wings and entered the portal. However, for Keosius, who was over thirty meters long, he had to put in extra effort to squeeze in.

They traversed the passageways of the Ethereal Plane, and within minutes, Keosius had completely mastered the method to reach the "Eternal Order Realm."

Demiplane almost always stops at some point on another Material Plane.

This larger plane is usually the Prime Material Plane, but portals to the Demiplane can be found in the Astral Plane, the Ethereal Plane, and any inner or outer plane.

Demiplane have some access restrictions. First, they can only be entered from a specific point on the corresponding larger plane. Some Demiplane are connected to multiple planes, and in each plane they are connected to, there is a specific point that is connected to them.

These Demiplane often serve as passageways between unconnected planes or as locations where different universes come into contact.

The Eternal Order Realm is a special place that connects the Prime Material Plane and Mount Paradise. Within the etheric passage, he can see several Astral Plane dimensional links leading to the Outer Plane.

"Whoosh—"

Keosius felt a flash of white light, and his vision suddenly opened up, the scene was completely transformed, and the black and white suddenly turned into color.

He finally broke free of the etheric passage and arrived at the so-called "Eternal Order Realm," the home of the Skincarver Dragon.

"This Demiplane"

Keosius looked around and saw rolling mountains, babbling streams, and vast, open highlands.

This was actually a huge floating island with a diameter of hundreds of miles, shrouded in some mysterious, pale golden force field, while outside the island was nothingness.

The sun hangs high in the sky, shining brightly on the earth and casting down its radiant light.

Keosius immediately recognized that this was not the real sun, but a projection of the sun on the Prime Material Plane, and everything here...

—Whether it's flowers, grass, soil, or flowing water, they all operate according to the rules of the Prime Material Plane, with only some subtle differences.

For example, under the influence of that mysterious force field, the Weave operates more regularly, and the magical reactions are exceptionally peaceful, making it difficult to unleash spells with strong destructive power.

Under the bright sunshine, the vegetation here is lush and verdant, and kind and beautiful creatures such as Pegasus, Forest Deer, and unicorns can be seen everywhere.

Within this Demiplane, the surface of each creature's body seemed to be shrouded in a hazy halo.

The wind rustles softly through the dense forest, and the stream babbles gently, creating a concerto that brings peace and tranquility.

Deep within those mountains, nestled amidst forests and built against the mountainside, stands a magnificent monastery constructed of pure white stone, its walls adorned with exquisite and mysterious carvings.

Gazing at the exceptionally harmonious patterns, even the real Keosius, who was outside the world, felt a sense of peace.

It was as if a gentle breeze swept through his mind, easily dispelling the mixed thoughts of killing and bloodshed.

Keosius couldn't help but think to himself, "What a wonderful place. No wonder it's Metallic Dragon; they're incredibly wealthy."

Looking at the white palace in the distance, Aurora calmly but with barely concealed pride introduced, "Senior Titus, we have arrived."

This is the Eternal Order Realm, a place of peace for souls, a sanctuary for those seeking supreme order, and also the gathering place of the Skincarver Dragon.

She suddenly paused, blinked, and said mysteriously, "By the way, guess what our Loz's most distinctive feature is?"

"What?"

Before Aurora answer, the sound of air whirring came from the white palace in the distance, Keosius looked in the direction of the sound.

Under his rather surprised gaze, several golden dragons soared into the sky, gracefully and elegantly flapping their wave-like Dragon Wing.

Under the sunlight, the scales of the Golden Dragon shimmered, as if shrouded in a sacred halo.

Aurora then smiled and replied, "You guessed right, Senior Titus, the members of Eternal Loz are all our kin."

The most noble and elegant dragon, the favorite of His Bahamut Your Majesty — the Golden Dragon.

Seeing the young Golden Dragon praising its own race so highly, Keosius couldn't help but chuckle to himself, but he wasn't surprised.

The Golden Dragon never hide their pride. From the moment they were created, they have called themselves the eldest sons of Bahamut, the natural leaders among the Metallic Dragon, and the symbols of goodness and justice.

And that is often the case, even though other Metallic Dragon are unwilling to admit it.

Keosius feigned surprise. "Are all the Skincarver Dragon in the Eternal Order Realm actually Golden Dragon?"

Aurora spread her wings and involuntarily puffed out her chest. "Yes, when Ferdinand created this Demiplane, he said something like this—"

Unlike the Silver Dragon's naive laziness, the Bronze Dragon's curiosity and eccentricity, Brass Dragon's noisy annoyance, we Golden Dragon are calm and collected, natural-born Skincarver.

Only the Golden Dragon can become the finest Skincarver Dragon, using the power passed down through generations to uphold the world's justice and order.

As for dragons other than Metallic Dragon, such as Five-Colored Dragon, Gem Dragon, and half-dragons, Ferdinand didn't even bother to mention them.

After all, in the eyes of the Golden Dragon, these dragons were of mixed quality, some were filthy and evil, and some had inferior bloodlines, and could not be compared with them at all.

It truly lives up to its name as the Golden Dragon.

Keosius sighed inwardly, then smiled and said, "Indeed, Aurora, your Eternal Order Realm has truly given me a pleasant surprise."

"Aww—"

Golden Dragon flew in from afar, letting out light, long howls.

Clearly, they also discovered the enormous Golden Dragon, over thirty meters long, that appeared beside Aurora, and were delighted that another noble Ancient Gold Dragon had appeared in Loz.

The leading adult Golden Dragon to a spot not far from Keosius. Its body was also covered with exquisite runes, even more complex than those on Aurora's body.

"Aurora, that's wonderful! You're back so quickly, and you've brought this guest with you."

"Of course, Elhernan, Senior Titus has already agreed to join the Eternal Order Realm."

The Golden Dragon known as "Elhenan" looked at Keosius, bowed his head respectfully, bent his forelegs at the knees, tucked in his wings, and strictly followed the etiquette of the Golden Dragon.

"Good day, you must be the legendary ' Dawn Dragon '. You are indeed a powerful and esteemed senior."

Then, Elkhnan raised his head, a smile spreading across his majestic Dragon Face as his lips curled upwards and his whiskers swayed, "Welcome to Eternal Loz, Senior Titus."

Keosius nodded in acknowledgment and then said, "I am indeed willing to become a member of the Skincarver Dragon, but I need to help the High Mountain Kingdom eliminate the threat of the orcs recently, so I may not stay in the Eternal Order Realm."

Elhenan exclaimed, "Senior Titus, you truly have a heart for justice. You are indeed worthy of being called the ' Dawn Dragon ' by mortals."

Absolutely no problem. Our Eternal Order Realm was built to inherit the power of our ancestors and better uphold justice.

Elkhnan turned his head and pointed to the white palace in the distance. "How about this, let Aurora take you on a tour of our monastery first."

"Good."

Aurora said again in a light tone, "Senior Titus, please come with me."

It can only be said that this Demiplane is indeed tailor-made. Flying in the Eternal Order Realm with the Golden Dragon's unique wave-like movements will feel exceptionally light, as if every wisp of wind is lifting the wings.

At the same time, the Golden Dragon flew at an extremely fast speed, and soon arrived at the gate of the White Monastery.

"Boom--

The gate slowly opened, revealing a tall, spacious corridor large enough for an ancient dragon to pass through, with intricate patterns carved on the Zhu Zi on both sides.

On the walls on both sides and at the top of the corridor, there are brightly colored and exquisitely detailed murals, depicting lifelike dragons.

The original dragon yearned to break free from its dragon instincts and pursue pure order, so it attempted to carve runes on the surface of its scales.

This is the origin of Skin Carving.

Aurora explained, "As you probably know, the Skin Carving is a special organization composed of dragons and half-dragons."

Our names come from the marks etched on our scales, providing incredible, mystical protection; and the Skincarver Dragon are beings of strict discipline, dedicated to personal perfection and mystical transcendence.

The young Golden Dragon points to the mural. "Most of the Skincarver Dragon are True Dragon, because dragons, land dragons, Wyvern and other dragon-like creatures lack the thick and heavy scales necessary for carving."

Of course, more importantly, they lack the wisdom and will required to become Skincarver Dragon.

However, the order pursued by some Skincarver Dragon is not necessarily pure. In the last thousand years, there have also been filthy and evil dragons such as Blue Dragon and Green Dragon, who have despicably stolen the power of carving, attempting to build their own evil order.

At this point, Aurora's face involuntarily showed disgust, but she quickly added with a smile:

"However, a guy like Red Dragon, whose head is full of muscles and magma, will never be qualified to become Skincarver."

The Red Dragon joke is a rare instance of the rather old-fashioned and serious Golden Dragon telling jokes.

Keosius's lips twitched slightly, thinking to himself that their rules were about to be broken by a Red Dragon disguised as Golden Dragon dragon.

However, he remained outwardly calm and said, "Of course, a Chaotic Evil creature like the Red Dragon will never understand the true meaning of order."

Aurora led Keosius to the end of the corridor and into a more spacious hall that was hundreds of meters high. The hall was exceptionally clean and orderly, and several Golden Dragon appeared within it.

They sat on their respective platforms, some meditating with their eyes closed, others carving on their scales with special cone-shaped crystals, immersed in their own spiritual practice.

Indeed, the way these Skincarver Dragon train is quite similar to that of Monk, and they also possess a body forged through countless trials, an iron will, and some kind of supernatural power.

The hall was silent, save for the occasional chime of a distant bell.

Keosius looked up and saw at the top of the hall a huge disc nearly a hundred meters in diameter, its surface covered with intricate patterns.

At the center of the disc was a dull, lusterless silver scale, also engraved with mysterious runes.

What surprised Keosius even more was that the scales exuded a powerful aura that made him want to bow down and worship.

Upon seeing the runes on the disc and scales, he felt a sense of perfect order.

That seemed to symbolize the most tangible fairness and order, representing supreme authority, and even his soul was about to be cleansed and Purification.

For a moment, Keosius even had the urge to revert to his original form, but he managed to suppress it and did not revert to his "Avatar Ancient Dragon".

He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This is..."

However, Aurora beside her was quietly gazing at the disc, having unknowingly entered into meditation, and hadn't even heard what her senior had said.

Suddenly, a calm, pure female voice came from above.

"These are scales shed by His Landis Your Majesty, the god of balance and justice of the dragons."

Thousands of years ago, Ferdinand used this scale as the core to create this Demiplane, which you know as the ' Eternal Order Realm '.

Keosius looked up and saw a huge Golden Dragon, also thirty meters long, flapping its broad wings and slowly descending from the top of the monastery.

Those golden eyes were calm and unwavering, indifferently scrutinizing the many Golden Dragon below, as well as Keosius was mixed in with the Golden Dragon dragons.

Aurora also suddenly woke up. She looked up and said with surprise and respect, "Beatrice!"

Seemingly afraid that the newly joined senior beside her might be confused, Aurora quickly introduced, "This is Beatrice, the daughter of the Ancient Gold Dragon Fernant, and an elder of the Eternal Order Realm."

At the same time, she is also the 'Grantor' within Loz, and she carved our original runes.

Therefore, almost all her clansmen within the Eternal Order Realm respectfully addressed her as "Teacher."

But then, the Ancient Gold Dragon known as "Beatrice" stared at Keosius with a scrutinizing gaze.

Their eyes met, and Ancient Gold Dragon said meaningfully, "Good day, you must be the ' Dawn Dragon ' Titus. The Eternal Order Realm welcomes any member of our race who seeks order to join us."

But why do I see a fog of deception emanating from you?
