Uncle Boya was so angry that he jumped up and down cursing, saying that Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon gave his heart to Ling Xiao, he should logically give his physical body to himself.
That makes sense, right?
However, the old man completely ignored him and didn't take him seriously at all.
"You're already dead, why don't you hand over your body and make use of it? You're utterly useless!"
Uncle Boya cursed angrily, his lips trembling with rage. He had received four inheritance orbs, which was quite good by all accounts. If Ling Xiao were not the one to compare him to, he would feel very happy.
However, Ling Xiao not only obtained the treasure of the Chaos Void Dragon Nest, but also received an extra egg.
This made him so envious he was practically drooling.
"Big Rat, you're such a dog! The person is already dead, and you can't even leave them with a whole corpse?" Ling Xiao said sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Boya looked at him sharply, his eyes flashing with astonishing light.
"Ling Xiao, do you still remember our promise? We'd share the good times and the bad, and split the benefits 50/50."
He played the emotional card.
"That's right, but the Chaos Void Dragon Nest is my inheritance, and you have it too. We each chose it based on our own abilities."
The dragon egg was entrusted to me by the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon, so I can't just give it to you, can I? That would make me a person who breaks their word."
Ling Xiao patiently explained that the rat's eyes were a bit frightening, bright red, as if it wanted to eat people. He had to calm it down, otherwise it would be a disaster if it quit.
"I don't want the Chaos Void Dragon Nest. How about you cut that old thing's eggs in half, and we each take one?"
Uncle Boya rubbed his hands together, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Cut in half?" Ling Xiao was shocked.
"That's good. Cut it in half and roast it. The dragon egg is the essence of the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon. Eating it will surely bring you unparalleled benefits."
Uncle Boya became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, eager to try it out.
Ling Xiao realized that this guy didn't want any benefits at all; he wanted to take revenge on the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon.
Why?
Because I didn't give him my body.
"That petty, Big Rat!"
Ling Xiao shook his head speechlessly, cut open the dragon egg and ate it. He couldn't believe this guy even thought of that.
Isn't this like a cow chewing on a peony—a complete waste of a precious resource?
"Rat, keep your little schemes to yourself. I'm not going to cut open the dragon egg. Don't even think about it."
Ling Xiao said with a stern face, "You're starting to put pressure on that Big Rat, why don't you cut open your own balls?"
That's incredibly unethical.
The Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon only had one egg, and you want to cut it open and eat it?
Do you have no humanity?
"Then how will I make up for the nutrients I'm missing?" Uncle Boya spread his hands, as if he were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
"You've reaped so many benefits, of course you can talk big without feeling the pain, but what about me? You have to compensate me."
"Alright, alright, all you want is the Chaos Heaven-Sealing Technique, right? I'll teach you."
Ling Xiao chuckled, finally realizing what this Big Rat was up to—it was subtly trying to get something out of him.
"That's great!" Uncle Boya's tense face immediately lit up, changing very quickly.
So, Ling Xiao handed the Chaos Heaven-Sealing Technique to Uncle Boya, who, having obtained the supernatural power, happily ran off to the side to cultivate it.
Ling Xiao was also happy to have some peace and quiet, so he focused his divine sense into his body and began to observe the Chaos dragon nest in his dantian.
Having left the lair of the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon, it has become somewhat different, and the shape of its heart is no longer discernible.
Overall, it looks like a hill-shaped beehive, nestled in endless Chaos.
It's so big that if it were fully released, it would be like a universe, quietly stretching across the center of the world.
It faintly exudes an aura of antiquity, profoundness, virtue, and vicissitude.
On the surface of the dragon's nest, many symbols flowed, each symbol resembling a dragon, winding and twisting, as if it were alive.
Ling Xiao attempted to channel some of his power into the dragon's nest, and instantly, the entire nest erupted with a blazing light.
Then came a series of roars, enormous and thunderous, incessant and permeated with the aura of the Chaos Dragon God.
Deep within the dragon's nest, the eggs of the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon quietly incubated, silently absorbing the power from the surroundings.
This is energy generated autonomously by the dragon's nest to supply the hatching of the dragon eggs, but this energy is very weak and can only barely sustain the nutrients needed by the dragon eggs.
At this rate, it might take hundreds of millions of years for them to hatch.
To accelerate the incubation process, a much larger force must be provided.
Inside the dragon's nest, countless caves, large and small, were arranged in a close and orderly fashion.
After some investigation, Ling Xiao understood the purpose of the dragon's nest. These densely packed nests and caves were the place where dragon generals and dragon soldiers were hatched.
The deeper you go, the more powerful the dragons that hatch. The higher their level and strength, the more time and energy are required for hatching.
The hatched dragons are roughly divided into four ranks: Dragon Soldier, Dragon General, Dragon Commander, and Dragon King.
The weakest dragon soldier starts at the Primordial Origin Great Luo level, and so on up to the Dragon King, who can almost reach the half-step Great Dao level.
With such terrifying power, it's no wonder that the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon boasted that it could sweep across all realms, and that it could easily deal with lower-level planes by simply sending a few dragons.
However, the higher the dragon's level, the fewer hatching slots there are; the Giant Dragon King, for example, only has nine nests.
In other words, a maximum of nine can hatch at a time.
However, for Ling Xiao, that was enough; he had never been one to fight in group battles.
Moreover, hatching this thing requires a lot of resources; you can't just hatch it however you want.
"Fine, I'll hatch a few and see how it goes."
With a thought, Ling Xiao began to operate, retrieving a portion of the rare and precious materials from his spatial storage and sending them into the Chaos Void Dragon Nest.
Fortunately, he had previously plundered quite a few benefits from the Pill Sun Sage Lord, including a considerable amount of divine medicines and spiritual roots.
These things contain powerful energy, which is the perfect nutrition for hatching dragon eggs.
"First hatch one Dragon King, then ten Dragon Generals..."
With the arrival of rare and precious materials, Ling Xiao took control of the Dragon Nest. In the deepest part of the Dragon Nest, one of the nine enormous nests suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
Then, a huge dragon egg began to take shape before the naked eye.
Although this dragon egg is quite large, it is still much smaller than that of the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon.
After the dragon egg took shape, the light disappeared, and the energy provided by Ling Xiao was used up.
"Holy crap? You can really eat!"
Ling Xiao looked surprised, then took out some rare and precious materials and added them in to condense other dragon eggs.
After some effort, he hatched ten dragon generals, a hundred dragon commanders, and a thousand dragon soldiers.
They were all in egg form, lying quietly in the nest.
More nutrients are needed for rapid catalysis.
Even so, Ling Xiao still expended a massive amount of rare and precious materials, causing him a pang of heartache.
"You can incubate them all, Laozi 'm not doing this anymore."
Ling Xiao stopped adding more divine creatures, letting them grow on their own. At this rate, even if he drained his entire treasure trove, he might not be able to hatch more than a few.
This thing is such a waste of money.
