Dragon Egg!

"Holy crap, the rebound effect was this strong?!"

Without wasting a moment, Zhu Wu immediately used a dagger to cut the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass off at its roots, then activated his right leg Soul Bone's flight skill and sped toward the other side.

He pulled out the Jade Scissors with his right hand, snipped the Infernal Delicate Apricot cleanly off at the roots, then flew back and tossed it beside the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

The next second, his somewhat scalded right fingers turned cool and recovered at a visible rate.

At the same time, within his field of vision and spiritual perception, the cold and heat radiated by the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, now placed together, suddenly vanished.

Without hesitation, Zhu Wu grabbed both herbs and stuffed them into his mouth. They melted as soon as they entered.

While gulping them down, he rushed toward where the springs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well met. By the time he arrived, the medicinal effects had already begun. Without the slightest hesitation, he plunged in with a splash.

"Much better!" Once his body was submerged, the sensation of Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation instantly faded by more than half. Zhu Wu let out a huge sigh of relief.

"Unfortunately, the Vajra Power Exercise and Longevity Exercise can't be cultivated together. And..." He looked up at the sky. Thick fog filled the air; he could not even see the sky itself, much less sunlight or moonlight. Left with no choice, Zhu Wu could only use the ordinary Meditation Method to accelerate the circulation of Soul Power within his body. Though it was merely the Soul Power circulation route naturally formed by the human body, with his current spiritual strength actively guiding it, the pace was not slow.

As he cultivated, the blood in his body surged, and he felt warmer and warmer. An inexplicable drowsiness came over him, and Zhu Wu gradually fell asleep.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Di Tian rapidly dove deeper underwater.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally caught sight of two even more dazzling spheres of light in the distance, one red and one blue, flickering and pulsing.

His eyes immediately lit up, and he accelerated his descent.

Soon, his gaze swept across the scene. To the left lay undulating masses of ice like a glacier, within which crystalline bones and scattered azure dragon scales could vaguely be seen.

On the other side was a mighty dragon skeleton, mostly submerged in magma and stretching into unknown depths.

Seeing this, Di Tian unconsciously clenched his fists, and a trace of sorrow flashed through his eyes.

He took a deep breath and continued descending, eventually landing on the bottom of the pool.

Looking around, the two dazzling lights both came from the eye sockets of enormous Dragon Heads. They were the Dragon Souls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings.

"They've already fallen asleep." Di Tian's eyes flickered before closing. The next moment, a strange spiritual fluctuation spread from between his brows. Gurgle, gurgle—the surrounding spring water stirred, quickly reaching the heads of the two enormous dragon skeletons. The light spheres inside suddenly began to tremble.

Then the light flared brilliantly, and a sharp female voice came from within. "Who is it?"

Di Tian immediately placed a clenched fist over his chest and bowed. "Di Tian, Guard Captain under Lord Dragon God, greets the two Dragon Kings."

As his words fell, two graceful figures, one red and one blue, emerged from the spheres of light.

"Di Tian, you're still alive." The speaker was the stunning woman on the right, clad in blue scale armor.

"What is the current state of the Dragon Clan?" the other stunning woman on the left asked urgently. She wore red scale armor, and her figure was exceptionally voluptuous.

A pained expression immediately appeared on Di Tian's face. "Reporting to the two Dragon Kings, among the Dragon Clan members who took part in that great war, only I and one of Lord Dragon God's split forms, the Silver Dragon King, remain in this world. Other than that, there is also a Treasure Hiding Beast who awakened not long ago."

"According to him..." He immediately recounted the information Zhu Wu had provided and the plan he had proposed.

"Asura God, what an Asura God!" The Fire Dragon King clearly had a fiery temper, and she immediately directed her rage at the Asura God who had given Zhu Wu that sword strike.

"Ah, who would have thought that in the end, our Dragon Clan would have to place the burden of revival upon a Treasure Hiding Beast that isn't skilled in battle?" The Water Dragon King looked deeply mournful.

"Still, Father God had not misjudged him back then. The plan Zhu Wu proposed is indeed feasible."

"So be it." With a soft sigh, she turned to look at the Fire Dragon King.

"Sister Yan, perhaps it is time for us to return the portion of bloodline power Father God bestowed upon us back then."

"Our physical bodies are gone, and our Dragon Souls cannot conveniently leave. Zhu Wu's plan also involves inheriting a God Realm divine position to rescue the Golden Dragon King. In that case, it would clearly be unsuitable to give him the Soul Bones for absorption. If they were discovered during the inheritance of the divine position, it would only harm him."

"But if we seal the bloodline power Father God granted us and merge it into his body, it can not only nourish and strengthen the Dragon God Bloodline within him, awakening the corresponding control over water and fire elements and giving him greater means to protect himself in the future. It may also help him sense the burial sites of our other kin."

"And once he leaves this world and strips out the bloodline to give it to the Silver Dragon King, it will allow the Silver Dragon King's injuries to heal more quickly. It may even provide the Silver Dragon King with a greater chance of taking that step."

"As for us, as long as our essential blood remains unharmed, it will not hinder our future resurrection and rebirth."

"At most, our strength will decline somewhat."

The reason their Dragon Souls had been able to remain at the bottom of this pool for so long was that, before their physical bodies dissolved, they had condensed their essential blood into pearls to carry their God Cores and house their Dragon Souls. This was also their hope for future resurrection. As for the Dragon God Bloodline, it had been granted to them by the Dragon God to enhance their abilities. Strictly speaking, it was an external possession; stripping it away would not affect their own foundations.

The special environment outside had merely been caused by the ice and fire energies formed from the leakage of their origin auras while they slept.

The Fire Dragon King was decisive by nature. Without much thought, she nodded. "Fine. We'll do as you say."

"In that case, this subordinate shall take his leave first." Di Tian cupped his hands.

"To prevent any accident from occurring later and drawing outsiders in, it would be better for this subordinate to stand watch outside."

"Alright." The Water Dragon King nodded gently.

After a long while, the sleeping Zhu Wu appeared within Di Tian's sight. Without delay, Di Tian bypassed him, leaped ashore, and quietly stood guard.

Shortly afterward, under his watchful gaze, countless bubbles suddenly rose from the pool below. The entire surface then began to churn and rotate. With a rushing roar, it spun faster and faster, soon forming a vortex that swept the sleeping Zhu Wu into its center.

Then, a strange sight appeared.

Zhu Wu floated quietly at the center of the vortex, with only his head exposed. He did not rotate along with the increasingly rapid vortex. The next moment, two clusters of nine-colored aura surged up from the ice and fire waters below and swiftly merged into Zhu Wu's chest.

At the same time, within a vast white space inside Zhu Wu's body, strands of nine-colored light seeped out from every direction and rapidly rushed toward Little White, who floated at the center.

Little White immediately conveyed excitement, twisting its body as it allowed the surrounding nine-colored aura to pour into it.

The seven-colored Scale between its brows began to glow.

After an unknown amount of time, as though it had eaten its fill, Little White slowly descended to the ground and lay still.

Then, the skin on its body rapidly hardened.

At the same time, outside, a layer of white energy covering suddenly formed around Zhu Wu's sleeping body and solidified at a visible rate. Faint seven-colored light flowed across its surface. After several blinks, the energy covering fully solidified into an oval sphere streaked with Seven-Colored Luster, standing 1.6 meters tall and over one meter wide.

From afar, it looked just like a giant egg.

"A Dragon Egg?" Di Tian said in surprise.

"Is this evolution? Is he undergoing a transformation into a dragon?"

I'll be heading out later, so I'm posting early today.
