Chapter 386: The Mystery of the Legend! The False Rumors of Dragon City!

Chapter 386: The Mystery of the Legend! The False Rumors of Dragon City!

Temporal Domain.

The most mysterious, special, and rare attribute.

Even if Su Ping had reached his current status, it would still be difficult for him to encounter a time-domain pet beast unless he actively sought one out.

However, Su Ping never imagined that such an existence would be found in Dragon City.

He now had a better understanding of the profound heritage of the Dragon Nation.

But what about the proposal put forward by the person before him? Su Ping did not immediately agree but instead glanced at the Holy Dragon Legend who was also looking at him with interest.

"Lord Holy Dragon, what do you think?"

The man smiled, seemingly not expecting the boy to throw this question at him.

However, he did not hold back and nodded, "It's fine."

This person is really aloof.

Su Ping silently complained in his heart.

But it made sense. How could such an existence be like an ordinary person, babbling endlessly?

One who harbors a storm in his heart yet remains calm on the surface can be appointed as a general. This person, with his profound mind, naturally wouldn't reveal much to the outside world.

But since this person had agreed, Su Ping decisively chose to follow his arrangement and nodded, "Elder Zhu, from now on, I'm your man!"

Nonsense!

The burial ground of Lord Leng, the Colorless Dragon City, the Four Seas Dragon Palace. Even with a powerful Dragon King, does such an existence exist?

This Elder Zhu is not only an ancient divine beast but also a powerful existence at the Legendary Ninth Rank! With such a strong backing and his curiosity about the time-domain dragon clan, Su Ping had nothing to consider.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad! In Dragon City, spatial-domain dragon breeds not only exist but there are several. However, time-domain dragon breeds are indeed rare. Even I, the old dragon, didn't expect that during the Dragon Gate assessment, such a peculiar pet beast would actually have the potential of a time-domain dragon breed!"

Su Ping didn't rush to be curious about what this so-called time-domain dragon breed was but instead looked at the Holy Dragon Legend again, "Lord Holy Dragon, if I can, may I participate in the research of other heritage sites in Dragon City?"

The man and the dragon exchanged a glance, not at all surprised.

They had already anticipated Su Ping's insatiable choice.

The man smiled again, "Although you have proven your abilities..."

As he spoke, a scene from a few days ago, when Su Ping was at the press conference, appeared in the void before him.

Before Su Ping could marvel at how this incredibly realistic projection was achieved, the man continued, "However, Dragon City's rules must be followed. How about this: once you complete the research on Elder Zhu's dragon breed, you can participate in the research at other heritage sites."

Su Ping's eyebrows raised, and for the first time, he looked at the old dragon with a hint of doubt, "Complete the research? You mean your time-domain dragon breed isn't complete? What about my dragon?"

Su Ping suddenly felt cheated! Didn't they say that the Dragon Emblem includes a dragon companion?

He hadn't made a contract yet, but it was still his! And now, it hasn't even materialized yet? It's just a big pie in the sky!?

Elder Zhu finally spoke, "Little guy, don't be anxious! It's still in the River of Time and hasn't returned yet. I can assure you, it will definitely be the most suitable dragon for you!"

Even the Holy Dragon Legend beside him nodded, "Indeed."

Su Ping trusted the Holy Dragon Legend, but he was a bit skeptical about this mystical Elder Zhu. What was he talking about?

"In the River of Time" hasn't returned? These words made him feel a bit humorous.

Forget the legendary-level Elder Zhu; even if there were time-domain mythical pet beasts, could they really touch such a place of imagination?

And return from the River of Time?

But from what he heard, it seemed reliable?

At the very least, there seemed to be such a pet beast?

Su Ping became a bit more hopeful.

Clearly, with Su Ping's promise, Elder Zhu was satisfied, "In short, once that little guy completes its awakening, come back to Dragon City then. I'll explain everything to you in detail. Ah Xuan has some important matters to discuss with you, so I'll be leaving first."

Elder Zhu shook his head, the flame on his head flickering lightly before disappearing without a trace.

The room in the pavilion was now left with only Su Ping and the Holy Dragon Legend.

Facing the person before him alone, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Su Ping thought for a moment and decided to continue with the previous topic, "Senior Holy Dragon, what exactly is this time dragon?"

The man smiled slightly and then said, "It's a special pet beast that has never appeared in Dragon City..."

As he spoke, the void once again came to a boil, and a strange shadow, similar to a butterfly but quite different, emerged from it.

However, before Su Ping could take a good look, the man waved his hand, extinguishing the shadow, and then said helplessly, "Su Ping, let's change our way of communication."

"Huh?"

Su Ping was taken aback, and then the man slowly extended his finger, gently touching Su Ping's forehead. The next moment, Su Ping felt his consciousness being drawn, similar to entering the Dream Heart, but this consciousness channel was much more private.

The next moment, Su Ping felt himself transported to a strange world above a rainbow cloud.

The Holy Dragon Legend was still sitting beside him, calmly looking at him.

Su Ping instinctively asked, "What is this..."

"It's too troublesome to speak outside. The rules are really hard to control. Please understand, hehe."

The man smiled slightly, saying something Su Ping didn't quite grasp.

"Rules... what do you mean?"

Su Ping asked in surprise.

The Holy Dragon Legend explained without any impatience, "A power higher than energy... Generally, only after reaching the legendary level can one begin to control this power! The innate power of a Beastmaster, besides the soul contract, is the talent formed upon awakening.

And talent, under normal circumstances, will also bring improvements and transformations after reaching the legendary level! Of course, talent can be enhanced in advance with some rare resources, like Heart Fruits, and corresponding meditation techniques can be developed to make the effects of the talent more evident. However, such meditation techniques are usually extremely rare and precious."

Moreover, beastmasters can also increase their talent by self-control, and the characteristics of the beastmaster's space can make the beastmaster's realm improve faster.

These are all complementary! My initial talent was the most ordinary soul communication. After reaching the legendary tenth rank, the power of the rules evolved in my talent, causing me to have some negative effects of speaking the law."

These words left Su Ping stunned.

Beastmaster talent?

In Su Ping's opinion, among these beastmaster talents, aside from the True Eye, soul communication, and his own Mansion of Ten Thousand Spirits talent, the rest, even the seemingly best Dragon Aura, he found quite useless.

Soul communication can achieve speaking the law?

And it's a negative effect.

Su Ping was unaware that the man before him was also a master of boasting.

However, he wondered if having so many talents would be a problem.

For the first time, Su Ping doubted the effects of the Omnipotent Beast Codex on himself.

So, he thought for a moment and asked, "Then, are there beastmasters who possess two or even three talents?"

The man smiled at Su Ping, causing him to shiver, and then nodded:

"Of course! Beastmaster talents are very special.

Usually, human beastmasters complete their awakening by using awakening stones, gain talents, and then improve their realm through meditation!

But there are also some who are innately powerful in spiritual power and can awaken without awakening stones before the age of eighteen, or even contract companion beasts.

Naturally, some people will also innately awaken a second talent, or even acquire a second talent later on!

For example, one of the rewards for the first place in this vocational assessment is a special resource called the 'Spiritual Fire Seed' that can help awaken a second talent."

Hmm?

Su Ping was taken aback. Is there such a reward for this vocational assessment?

But it makes sense, as this man can decide such matters with just a word.

Spiritual Fire Seed?

"Then, having other talents, is it a benefit or a drawback for the beastmaster?"

"Of course, it's a benefit; otherwise, this Spiritual Fire Seed wouldn't be so precious! After acquiring a second talent, the beastmaster's meditation progress will be much faster.

However, there are advantages, but also some limitations. For example, talent improvement is not just about realm and resources but also the beastmaster's mastery ability.

Moreover, if the talent's mastery is not up to par, there will be significant restrictions when breaking through certain realm checkpoints.

This restriction is not very noticeable before the Sovereign rank but becomes very apparent after reaching the Sovereign rank, and the talent's effect on the beastmaster's meditation will also increase!

Therefore, at this stage, being able to help the beastmaster control their talent through various meditation techniques is a very precious thing! It's also something ordinary beastmasters rarely encounter, which is why it's difficult for them to advance beyond the Sovereign rank."

Is that so?

Su Ping nodded in understanding, then felt a bit dazed.

So now, what about his talents? No wonder he had barely used many mental resources to improve his economy, and through pure meditation, in just one year, he had advanced from his initial awakening to the Overlord Ninth Rank! Was it because of these terrifying talents that he had previously overlooked?

But talent improvement...

For others, this is troublesome. Aside from precious resources like the Soul Fruit, it can only be achieved through meditation. However, I'm different! The Omnipotent Beast Codex can increase the level of the first talent that is lit up.

Now, both the promoted Insightful Eye and Soul Communication are like this!

Thinking of this, Su Ping's eyes lit up.

Seeing Su Ping's thoughtful expression, the Holy Dragon Legend smiled but didn't pay much attention.

He could guess that Su Ping had some secrets or was even a beastmaster with a one-in-a-million second talent. However, at his level, he didn't need to worry about such things.

He only knew that in Elder Zhu's observation, Su Ping's future was not affected by the Celestial Grave Mark, and from what he could see, the boy's spirit was not significantly influenced, which was enough.

"Your Dream Heart is very interesting and has great potential."

Su Ping was surprised that the man's words were about Fatty's Dream Heart.

"You know about this?"

"Of course. Not just me, but even the Mechanical Association held a meeting to discuss it. I believe they will actively seek you out when you arrive in the Imperial Capital."

"Huh?"

Su Ping blinked, genuinely surprised that he could be mentioned by the Mechanical Association, which must be those well-known figures.

He had thought it was just his companion beast's playful creation, but even these high-level figures were paying attention to it?

"In the future, if possible, we can appropriately reduce some costs. This is beneficial for the country and the people."

The Holy Dragon Legend spoke somewhat implicitly, and Su Ping's face turned bitter:

"Holy Dragon, the value of this mechanical core is not something I can decide. Even this failed awakening mechanical core has this price, and I can't do anything about it..."

The man smiled:

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to lose money."

He didn't say much more on the subject, and Su Ping didn't continue to complain about his financial situation. The status of the Pingyun Group was something he understood better than anyone.

"By the way, has Water Sovereign Mermaid contacted you further?"

The man changed the topic and asked another question.

Su Ping paused slightly, then nodded slightly but didn't answer:

"What do you mean?"

"Their struggle is an opportunity for the Dragon Nation.

During the ancient tribal period, although ancient, many companion beasts were not developed, but some possessed ancient divine beast bloodline inheritances. In this bloodline memory, there are many special breeding methods.

These breeding methods were lost with the death of these existences. Getting close to these two will hopefully reveal some ancient breeding methods lost in history.

These breeding methods, and the Dragon Nation will use the power of the nation to help you find the remaining Flame Sovereign Fire Spirit messages, helping your Fire Spirit gain more Flame Sovereign inheritance memories.

Su Ping's eyes lit up.

"As for the Water Sovereign, in fact, compared to the Fire Sovereign, the Water Sovereign poses an even greater threat! In ancient times, the individual combat strength of the Water Sovereign was stronger than that of the Fire Sovereign.

Although water and fire are incompatible, the water system ultimately has more control over the fire system. At the same time, the Water Sovereign mastered a certain Sea God's Will. If it weren't for the human royalty of the Great Qian Dynasty, who knows what would have happened.

Is that so?

Listening to the person in front of him, Su Ping glanced at the little flame that had broadcasted these words into the space, and the little flame hissed angrily in response.

Su Ping nodded.

"The Sea God's Will is..."

"It's a mythical-tier rule power left behind. You'll understand once you reach the legendary realm. There should have been a mythical-tier existence on Blue Star."

On this matter, the person rarely elaborated further and instead steered the conversation back to the Water Sovereign:

"The Body Outside the Body is an extremely powerful ancient skill! Now that you've become a Hall-level Cultivator, you should also understand its meaning. I heard about what happened last time from Meng Yao."

The mermaid, as a Body Outside the Body, developed a self-will and tried to break free from the Water Sovereign's main body. She even wanted her will to take the lead!

If this is accomplished, not only will the Dragon Nation gain a legendary power, but the Endless Sea can also be conquered. Even if it's not achieved, I remember that the pet beast you cultivated, that little wolf, also seemed to have a clone-type skill. In this regard, it will also be helpful to you, right?"

Su Ping pressed his lips together, it was indeed very helpful.

The problem was, he didn't need it!

The Body Outside the Body, he had already perfected it!

Although this skill was indeed powerful, it wasn't very apparent in the Overlord-level little wolf at the moment.

Su Ping could only nod silently, looking determined:

"Rest assured, I won't let you down!"

"Haha, even if you can accomplish this, I'll have nothing more to reward you with. However, at that time, you can freely observe the cultivation of some of the Dragon Nation's inherited advanced skills, even the Hall-level advanced skills."

Su Ping's eyes lit up. For him, this was the best promise.

"You still don't understand. There are many skills that even if you see the cultivation method, it's hard to accomplish!"

The Holy Dragon Legend shook his head, understanding Su Ping's enthusiasm.

When he first debuted, he was also an extremely talented cultivator. Initially, he had a keen eye for cultivation methods, but it wasn't just about having the cultivation method to replicate it.

With a low success rate, the required consumption of pet beasts and resources was extremely high, not something anyone could casually attempt.

Su Ping smiled. Of course, he wouldn't mention his cheat.

Instead, he discussed:

"Only by trying will I be satisfied. Isn't it really difficult?"

"It's very difficult, very difficult. For example, one of the skills passed down from ancient times, I don't know if you've seen this advanced skill in the Hall-level skills. It's a skill inherited from the early aristocratic family of the Wu Dynasty, the Xie family's skill called Grafting Flowers and Trees!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ping nodded:

"I've seen it. It's said to be able to replicate any skill of the opponent, and even be able to promote the skill to the Divine Realm?"

The Holy Dragon Legend looked at him with appreciation:

"Not bad, it's this skill. The cultivation difficulty of this skill is beyond imagination. You've seen Ice Child, right? She's from the Four Seas Dragon Palace."

Su Ping was stunned again. The person's words were too abrupt.

How did he jump from Grafting Flowers and Trees to the Ice Child?

Nevertheless, he nodded slightly: "I've seen her, and the impression is deep."

"Ice Child's personality is indeed a bit naughty, but her talent is undeniable. She surpassed the Sea God and became the most promising candidate to break through the legendary realm in the Four Seas Dragon Palace!"

Su Ping shook his head again. This field was no longer within his reach.

"Haha, it's simple. The corresponding skill level, promoted to the Divine Realm, is considered to have mastered the rule power derived from this skill!

The stronger the skill, the stronger the rule power mastered when reaching this level, and the greater the probability and assistance in breaking through the legendary realm in the future!

Ice Child has two ice-type skills that have reached the Divine Realm, and one water-type skill has also reached the Divine Realm. Although they aren't advanced skills, the probability is already very high!"

Su Ping pressed his lips together. That was indeed very helpful.
