An Unimaginably Huge Dragon Pearl

A gentle evening breeze blows, the setting sun casts its golden rays across the lake, making it appear as if a colossal creature covered in golden scales is writhing in the wind.

On top of this enormous creature, a Little Deer Cub was riding the waves, singing merrily. A large Red Giant Fish in the lake was interacting with it, occasionally splashing a wave with its huge red tail towards the Little Deer Cub. But the Little Deer Cub would simply lower its head slightly, and the wave would roll back, even pushing the large fish out of the lake and into the air.

Once the Little Deer Cub had calmed down, the rain stopped, the sun came out, and the whole world seemed to return to its previous bustling state.

Everything that runs in the forest, flies in the air, and swims in the lake suddenly appeared.

It was already dusk, and the weary birds had begun to return to their nests. In the distance, there was a cawing sound, and it was unclear whether it was waterfowl flapping their wings or crows circling the trees.

In the flower field, several pheasants clucked and swayed as they returned to their nest in a flock, lying down to await the arrival of night. Their clucking sounds seemed like whispers.

Wu Chu sat with one leg bent, leaning against the pavilion, squinting as he watched the Red Giant Fish and deer frolicking in the lake, feeling the slight coolness of the Astral Wind on his face and the faint fragrance of flowers, a faint smile on his lips.

The Fat Dog lay at his feet, occasionally opening its mouth in boredom. When its obese body lay sprawled on the ground, a ring of flesh was already visible.

Admittedly, aside from some inconveniences, this kind of mountain life has its own unique charm.

I once thought I would get tired of living in Wu Chu, but I found that my worries were unnecessary.

As the years flowed silently by, he found that the restlessness he once felt had gradually disappeared, and he had become more and more accustomed to this simple life in the mountains.

After watching for a while, Wu Chu stood up, faced the setting sun, and performed a set of Taiji Health-Nourishing Fist. After finishing his exercises, he saw Little Moon Spirit carrying a huge sphere and slowly flying back.

It was a large golden sphere at least fourteen or fifteen meters in diameter, with a smooth surface but covered with fine cracks, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter.

The Little Deer Cub playing with the big fish in the lake raised its head, paused, then threw the fish aside and turned to rush towards the Sacred Tree. Its hooves moved like lightning, soaring up the Sacred Tree's massive trunk as if walking on flat ground.

One can imagine that this Little Deer Cub must have some skill to escape from those Primordial World creatures. Keep in mind, that Tiger Han Wu Han, was far more powerful than Little Moon Spirit; otherwise, Little Moon Spirit wouldn't have been so nervous.

The fact that it could still come here in the face of such an enemy clearly indicates that it is no ordinary creature.

"What is this?" Wu Chu stared at the sphere in astonishment. "Could it be something found inside that Azure Dragon's belly? Could it be Dragon Pearl?"

Wu Chu knew that Little Moon Spirit had gone to fetch Dragon Meat, but when she returned, she brought back such a large ball, which Wu Chu was willing to believe was Dragon Pearl.

Such a large Dragon Pearl completely shattered Wu Chu's preconceived notions. But when compared to the body of that Azure Dragon, it didn't seem to make any difference.

Little Moon Spirit nodded slightly and said, "It seems so. There's still some energy left inside. I want to refine and absorb it..."

However, before Little Moon Spirit could finish speaking, white roots emerged from the purple wooden floor beneath the Dragon Pearl, wrapping around it.

"..."

Wu Chu and Yueling were immediately stunned. Even the Little Deer Cub that had just run back was startled by the scene and hesitated to approach.

"A Chu, it, it..."

Little Moon Spirit pointed at the white roots, looking a little aggrieved. She seemed to have never expected that what she had worked so hard to bring back would be so blatantly snatched away by this Sacred Tree.

Wu Chu felt sorry for Yueling, but he could only reach out and rub her head to comfort her, "Don't be sad. If this Spirit Root can recover quickly, it will actually be a good thing for us. Before, when we put Dragon Meat on the ground, it didn't react, but today it's so eager to eat this Dragon Pearl, which means it's very useful to it."

Little Moon Spirit nodded, but the two silkworms still didn't stretch out. Wu Chu could understand this, since he hadn't been mentally prepared for it!

It would be unfair for anyone to have something they worked so hard to acquire and that is very useful to them suddenly taken away by someone else.

The Little Deer Cub watched as the Dragon Pearl was gradually enveloped by the roots of the Sacred Tree, then licked its lips and silently walked to Little Moon Spirit's side, nuzzling its little head against her chest.

The two people, the deer, and the Doggy just watched as the white roots burrowed into the cracks on the surface of the Dragon Pearl, as the roots slowly turned grayish-white, and as the light of the golden dragon Dragon Pearl gradually dimmed.

"Never mind, let's eat first!"

Wu Chu clapped his hands, diverting Little Moon Spirit and the Little Deer Cub's attention to food. The Dragon Meat had already been stewing in the pot, and since the Little Deer Cub had returned, they should fill their stomachs first!

Little Moon Spirit nodded, patted the Little Deer Cub's head, and said, "Yoyo probably really wanted this Dragon Pearl too! What a pity!"

Yoyo is the name of the Little Deer Cub. Yibao came up with the name when Little Moon Spirit asked for Yibao opinion. Yibao gave her this suggestion directly, Little Moon Spirit thought it was a good name, so she used it on the Little Deer Cub. But Wu Chu was secretly rolling his eyes.

Although in the prehistoric language family, the pronunciation of "Youyou" is different from that of "Yoyou", Wu Chu knew very well what the bad taste of Yibao was, "Yoyou deer calls, eating wild apples"! This is completely named after its cry, which is extremely perfunctory.

In Wu Chu's view, he actually didn't want to name the Little Deer Cub.

After all, the Little Deer Cub will likely be given away eventually. Giving it a name will create an emotional bond, won't it? Then there will be a heartbreaking separation later. Why bother?

But Little Moon Spirit was in high spirits, and Wu Chu didn't want to spoil her fun.

Dinner was again Dragon Meat, fried, stir-fried, roasted—there was something for everyone.

Wu Chu loves grilling; grilled Dragon Meat paired with Spirit Nai Wine —the taste is indescribable.

The moon was bright and the Moonlight fell on the earth, forming magnificent funnels on this boundless land. In the darkness, they were like bright lamps, illuminating the wilderness.

The vast Primordial World is boundless. From Purple Jade Mountain to Tianmu Mountain, it doesn't seem far on a map.

But in reality, the distance between the two is far greater than imagined.

It took Qingqiu Chen several months to travel from Qingqiu to Purple Jade Mountain. Although he stopped frequently to enjoy the scenery along the way, it was still clear how far the two places were.

The distance from Purple Jade Mountain to Tianmu Mountain is even greater.

Coincidentally, the Tianmu Daoist of Tianmu Mountain was not on Tianmu Mountain, but had gone down the mountain to look for some Spirit Treasure to give as gifts.

So, in less than a month, Wu Han and his group met the Tianmu Daoist.
