Chapter 1157: The Pseudo Heaven and Earth Bag
October 11, 2027
Luoyang, Abandoned Dragon Locking Temple!
The mechanical beast, having confirmed that there was nothing else in the dragon's skull, held a fist-sized black dragon orb in one hand and a cloth bag in the other as it began its return journey.
As the mechanical beast picked up the dragon orb, the resentment energy within the entire space seemed to dissipate, indicating that Lu HaiKong's mission was a success.
While the mechanical beast returned with its bounty, Lu HaiKong, on the other hand, relinquished control of the mechanical beast and began making meticulous preparations.
Lu HaiKong had always been a cautious person, or perhaps one might say, overly suspicious. He would never believe that the mission was complete just because the mechanical beast had obtained the black dragon orb. He knew there had to be more to it.
Whether it was his suspicious nature or his caution, Lu HaiKong was well aware that there would be a twist, as he was familiar with the system's mechanics.
In a sense, the system was fair; rewards were proportional to effort. Although Lu HaiKong had taken some risks, his gains were usually the result of his hard work.
This mission, however, was different. From the moment he entered, Lu HaiKong had not exerted himself much and had been reaping rewards continuously.
He had achieved political breakthroughs, upgraded his cultivation technique, and enhanced his martial prowess. Now, he had effortlessly obtained the black dragon orb. Everything had been too smooth, even making Lu HaiKong's cautious nature doubt the situation.
When things seemed too good to be true, there was often a catch. Lu HaiKong was certain that the final trial was yet to come, as the system had not given any hints. He believed the real challenge was ahead, so before taking the dragon orb, he prepared as thoroughly as possible.
After ensuring his preparations were in order, Lu HaiKong instructed the mechanical beast to slowly bring over the black dragon orb and the cloth bag.
As the mechanical beast approached, Lu HaiKong's eyes glowed with a golden light, and he began to appraise the two items in its hands.
Pseudo Heaven and Earth Bag
Item Type: Taoist/Mysterious Artifact
Item Description: A portable artifact crafted by a Taoist master, capable of containing a cubic meter of space, though it falls short of encapsulating the entire universe.
Usage Requirements: Politics 80, Psychic Energy Unlocked
Lu HaiKong's first inspection was not of the dragon orb but the cloth bag, which appeared less valuable. He began his appraisal, and the result did not surprise him, as if he had known from the start that the bag would possess this attribute.
"Indeed, it's this kind of item, but I wonder if there's anything inside the bag."
Lu HaiKong did not linger his gaze on the bag for long. His eyes shifted to the dragon orb, and the golden glow in his eyes intensified as he began to inspect it.
Dragon Orb
Classification: Item/Treasure/Material
Description: A dragon orb from within a divine dragon's body, imbued with terrifying power. It is enveloped in a strong sense of unwillingness, and a unique soul fluctuation can be felt within, so caution is advised!
"As expected, it's a trap!" Lu HaiKong's face broke into a cold smile upon seeing the attributes of the dragon orb.
He knew that the dragon orb was most likely a trap, as it was unlikely for a mechanical beast to carry it away so easily.
Lu Hai Kong had previously suspected that the divine dragon was not truly dead, and its soul likely resided within the dragon orb, which explained the dense resentment in this space.
The reason why that fellow allowed the mechanical beast to take it away so easily was twofold: either it wanted to use the beast to escape this space, or its target was Lu Hai Kong himself!
The first possibility was highly unlikely. Although Lu Hai Kong didn't possess any Daoist techniques, he had the Heaven's Eye Technique. If there was any kind of seal, he would have certainly detected it. Thus, the target of that fellow was undoubtedly him.
After realizing the other party's scheme, Lu Hai Kong quietly took out two talismans and held them in his hand, patiently waiting for the dragon orb to be delivered to him.
"Now's the time!"
As the dragon orb was brought within ten meters of Lu Hai Kong, a golden glow flashed in his eyes, and he moved swiftly. The two talismans, specially prepared by Zhang Yan for refining resentment energy, ignited in his hands and were instantly affixed to the black dragon orb.
A sizzling sound filled the air.
The two talismans had an astonishing effect, and as they burned, the black dragon orb emitted a cloud of black smoke. Faintly, a wailing sound could be heard, and the black dragon orb began to display a patch of verdant color.
"Looks like it's working!"
In a blink of an eye, the dragon orb's color changed, and a green dragon shadow emerged, rushing towards Lu Hai Kong's forehead and entering it in an instant.
"Damn, not this again!"
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong only had time to utter a complaint before losing consciousness.
Almost simultaneously, as the green dragon shadow entered Lu Hai Kong's head, far away in the Northern City Lord's Mansion, two little girls who had been causing chaos in the mansion froze in their tracks.
At the same time, the Emperor Cauldron and the Mysterious Zither within the mansion emitted a brilliant light, as if sounding an alarm against an invasion.
With these developments, Lu Hai Kong's Sea of Consciousness underwent a tremendous transformation, so much so that the dragon shadow that had just entered was left completely dumbfounded...
