A Dragon Egg with the Mountain Dragon King's Bloodline
After receiving the Dragon Emperor's approval, the reincarnated Dragon King slowly raised his left forepaw, conjuring a symbol of rebellion in the air. Instantly, a gate of light, resembling rippling water, quietly appeared before Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi.
The Diamond Dragon King reached out with her claws, and when her claws reappeared, there was a crystal-clear dragon egg, as clear as Emerald in ice.
This dragon egg looked quite peculiar. It was pure white and translucent, as if it were carved from Emerald. Unlike a normal oblong egg, this dragon egg was perfectly round, like an enlarged glutinous rice ball. It was about one meter in diameter. It didn't look very big when held in the hands of the reincarnated Dragon King, but its enormous size became apparent when it was placed in front of Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi.
The dragon egg even emitted a faint white halo, like a shimmering treasure. Although it didn't seem like anything special, Xu Xingyu could sense the immense Magic Power and vibrant life force contained within the dragon egg from that halo.
Good heavens! If Xu Xingyu wasn't mistaken, once this child is born, her cultivation level will be at least around the eighth or ninth rank, which is much stronger than a normal newborn Dragon Clan!
What surprised Xu Xingyu the most was the child's bloodline. It wasn't simply a combination of the Diamond Dragon and the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, but a pure Mountain Dragon King's bloodline!
Seeing this, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but sigh, "So it turns out she experienced a reversion to her ancestral traits at birth, causing her to awaken the power of the Mountain Dragon King's bloodline! No wonder she encountered such a problem at birth!"
"The bloodline of the Mountain Dragon King?" The Dragon Emperor frowned and said, "I've never heard of the Mountain Dragon race before. Is it Dragon Clan from another plane? How could my daughter possess such bloodline power?"
Yilina, the Diamond Dragon King, hurriedly exclaimed, "Yes! We've never even heard of the Mountain Dragon Clan. How could my daughter have the blood of this so-called Mountain Dragon King?"
Seeing how nervous the Dragon Emperor and his wife were, Xu Xingyu knew she couldn't remain a riddle-solver and had to quickly explain things clearly, otherwise, if the couple's relationship ran into problems, it would be her responsibility.
Therefore, Xu Xingyu quickly recounted the scene she witnessed when she was recognized by the sacrificial artifact, the specific origins of the Five Elements Dragon Clan, and the connection between the Five Elements Dragon Clan and the Mountain Dragon King lineage.
After listening to Xu Xingyu's words, the Dragon Emperor was somewhat confused, as there was a lot of information. However, he eventually accepted it, because the most important thing now was not the origin of the Mountain Dragon King's bloodline, but how to successfully hatch his child!
"So, according to you, the inheritor, this mutation might actually be a good thing for my child? But if that's the case, why does awakening a Mountain Dragon King's bloodline cause my child's eggshell to become stronger, thus hindering her hatching?"
"It should be said that this awakening is both her fortune and her misfortune." Xu Xingyu sighed helplessly and said, "The Mountain Dragon lineage is the only one among the Nine Great Dragon Kings that has not achieved racial success. The fundamental reason for this, apart from the fact that they voluntarily transform into mountains for the Dragon Clan race every time they reach adulthood, lies in the fact that their reproduction is more difficult than that of other Dragon Clan."
"On the surface, the Mountain Dragon King lineage and the Earth Dragon King lineage both control the earth element. However, controlling the earth element is merely one variation of the power wielded by the Mountain Dragon King. The true attribute of the Mountain Dragon King is stability; they possess the power to stabilize everything in the world."
"It is precisely because of this stable attribute that the Mountain Dragon King lineage is renowned as the strongest shield of the Dragon Clan. It can be said that apart from the original Dragon God, no one could break through the defense of the first Mountain Dragon King."
"This stable attribute, while granting them the glory of the strongest defense, also makes their reproduction extremely difficult. When many Mountain Dragon eggs are hatching, the power of their stable attribute leaks out at that moment to strengthen the eggshell, which means that Mountain Dragon need a vitality far exceeding that of normal Dragon Clan to hatch."
"The problems your children face are the same challenges that every generation of Mountain Dragon has faced at birth."
"Since such a thing has happened to the ancient Dragon Clan as well, there should naturally be a solution, right?" Yilina asked Xu Xingyu expectantly.
To be honest, she didn't really care how powerful the bloodline of this reverted Mountain Dragon King was. As a mother, she only cared about whether her child could be born and grow up healthy.
Xu Xingyu scratched his head and said, "Normally, the best approach is to leave it alone. As mentioned before, the stable properties of the Mountain Dragon bloodline strengthen the eggshell, making the incubation period for Mountain Dragon much longer than that of normal Dragon Clan. If your child still can't hatch after 50,000 years, then you can conclude that your child is completely beyond saving."
"This... fifty thousand years?!?"
While 50,000 years may not seem like a long time for Dragon Emperor or Diamond Dragon King, it is indeed a rather long incubation period for a dragon egg.
It's worth noting that the normal incubation period for the Dragon Clan is only about 5,000 to 10,000 years, but the incubation period for their offspring is five to ten times longer, which is truly exaggerated.
Seeing the worry in the eyes of the Dragon Emperor and his wife, Xu Xingyu continued, "If you want your child to hatch faster, I suggest placing the dragon egg in a place rich in life energy, preferably one with a yin-type life attribute."
"Ultimately, the reason your child's birth was delayed is because her life force was insufficient to break through the solidified dragon egg. Therefore, if we can strengthen her life force, she can break through the eggshell and be born smoothly."
"In addition, you can use the original plan to find someone to form Partner Contract with your child. This way, your child will gain a lot of life force through the power of the contract, and even if it cannot hatch immediately, the hatching process will be much faster than it is now. However, be careful not to find someone with the same earth attribute as this child, even if it is yang earth, it will not work."
"Why is that?"
Generally speaking, is it better to find a magician with the same attribute as your contract partner? Fortunately, Xu Xingyu quickly provided an answer.
"This is because if a mage of the same earth attribute were to become her contracted partner, it would actually strengthen the stability attribute in her body, making the eggshell even harder than it is now. Needless to say, this would further delay her hatching."
"Then what kind of mage would you recommend as her partner?"
"Personally, I think wood or water attribute mages are better, especially wood attribute mages, since wood attribute mages have vitality far exceeding that of other mages. If it's yin wood attribute, that would be even better."
"Of course, if you don't want to ask outsiders for help, I have another way."
"What method?" the Dragon Emperor asked, somewhat surprised.
That is the Bloodline Link.
