Chapter 387: The Fate of the Undying Dragon and Meng Huangliang's Condition!

Chapter 387: The Fate of the Undying Dragon and Meng Huangliang's Condition!

This was a classic case of a rumor being blown out of proportion. Su Ping desperately wanted to refute such a claim.

However, upon hearing the words of the Holy Dragon Legend, Su Ping's interest in the so-called Time Attribute Dragon grew even stronger.

What kind of Companion Beast could make both the Holy Dragon Legend and the legendary Candle Dragon speak up, expressing the rarity and scarcity of their interest? Su Ping was curious.

Therefore, facing such a rumor, he could only silently bear it.

No matter, it's uncertain if that thing will have the fortune to become his Contract Beast or not!

Hence, Su Ping stopped asking about this topic and chose to remain silent to convey his stance.

Nevertheless, the person in front of him seemed to have misunderstood Su Ping's intention and patted his shoulder with a familiarity that made Su Ping feel flattered, saying:

"Don't feel pressured! The Candle Dragon matter can be appropriately delayed. Your immediate concern here is the Celestial Tomb!"

As he spoke, Su Ping thought for a moment and then said, "Holy Dragon Legend, I want to enter the Celestial Tomb with you when the time comes!"

As expected, upon hearing this, the man's eyebrows slowly furrowed, and his black pupils fixed on Su Ping.

His gaze was deep, yet it was just an ordinary face, but it exuded an indescribable sense of depth.

"Are you sure about this?"

Su Ping nodded.

The man revealed a faint smile:

"Having such determination is naturally excellent! However, do you know the dangers within the Celestial Tomb? Or rather, do you truly understand the Celestial Tomb?"

Su Ping's eyes narrowed slightly.

He shook his head and then nodded again.

The man didn't seem to mind his ambiguous response but instead explained:

"If my guess is correct, the Celestial Tomb may hold secrets of a Mythical Rank!"

Su Ping's eyelids twitched.

"Although I haven't reached that level, I can speculate that there might be some resurrection methods for that unknown Mythical Rank!"

"Resurrection? Can resurrection be possible at the Mythical Rank? It's just a guess and a legend; in the history of Blue Star Beast Tamers, it seems like there has never been any real encounter with a Mythical Rank, right? After such a long time, can resurrection still be possible?"

Su Ping was perplexed.

The man shook his head: "Water Lord and Flame Lord, who have reached the pinnacle of Legendary Totem, can still have backup plans for resurrection. In the more ancient times, Mythical Ranks naturally had such abilities."

Su Ping's breath slightly stalled.

His confidence in exploring the Celestial Tomb with his previous trump cards crumbled in an instant.

At his level, facing a potential Mythical Rank, was he going beyond his capabilities?

If he truly encountered such a powerful existence, would the Undying Dragon Soul still be effective? Su Ping didn't know.

However, words once spoken were like water spilled, and soon, the Holy Dragon Legend restored Su Ping's confidence:

"Any living being that wants to achieve resurrection will face immense difficulties. There are a total of four Celestial Tombs, and in the present age, only the one across the ocean from a few years ago remains. This proves that even if my guess is correct, there won't be any Mythical Rank appearing, and most importantly..."

The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his black pupils calmly observed Su Ping, but he didn't speak further.

How wise was he?

Charles' intentions and words were almost entirely understood back then.

Or perhaps, Charles was employing a strategy.

He wanted to turn Su Ping into a being like him, controlled by the entity that might exist within the Celestial Tomb.

Therefore, even if Su Ping entered the Celestial Tomb, there was a high chance that he wouldn't face any genuine life-threatening danger! Even his soul, self-awareness, and memory would be safe.

The only danger would be if he became like Charles...

But he couldn't stop Su Ping, who wanted to enter the Celestial Tomb. He also wanted to see if this 'successor' he had high hopes for could meet his expectations.

At this point, the man continued:

"Su Ping, do you know about the Dragon Gate?"

He didn't know before, but he recently learned about it after encountering Dragon City, and the Dragon Gate's appearance frequency was quite high.

He also guessed some of its effects:

"Is it a treasure that tests Companion Beasts for their potential to become Dragon Companions?"

The Holy Dragon Legend smiled:

"That's right! Any Companion Beast that passes through the Dragon Gate can have its Dragon Companion potential detected. Moreover, the Dragon Gate is the key and controller of Dragon City. Without the Dragon Gate, there would be no Dragon City.

One could even say that without the Dragon Gate, except for some coincidental evolutions that succeed and leave behind external Dragon Companions, systemic Companion Beasts wouldn't exist."

Su Ping's heart stirred, and finally, he asked the question that had been on his mind:

"Holy Dragon Legend, aside from Companion Beasts evolving into Dragons, are there any other means of reproduction?"

"Of course! Otherwise, how would Dragon Companion eggs appear? This time's final trial had three Dragon Companions as rewards, and all three were given in egg form.

In fact, Dragons can also reproduce through mating, but this method is different from the typical understanding of Companion Beast reproduction."

The man, who rarely kept secrets, revealed:

"Oh?"

Su Ping blinked.

"In fact, Dragons are divided into males and females. Otherwise, how could that have happened? Hehe, but the key to Dragon reproduction is through the Dragon Soul. Naturally, mating to produce offspring is also done through the Dragon Soul."

As he spoke about this, the man in front of him seemed to understand.

However, Su Ping still felt slightly embarrassed and touched his nose.

Discussing such a topic seriously was a bit strange, but as it involved the secrets of Dragons, Su Ping was indeed curious.

"Dragon Soul Fusion is a method of dragon reproduction, but there's an issue with this process. It involves the combination of souls to create new dragon souls. However, in most cases, dragons require a physical body, even for spiritual-type fairy dragons. During their growth period, they need a body to solidify their existence.

Within the Dragon Gate, every five years, a special resource is secreted, known as the Dragon God's Blood. Of course, this Dragon God's Blood is not only produced naturally but can also be obtained through other means.

Only when a young dragon soul combines with the Dragon God's Blood can a true dragon be born!

The born dragons have a chance to exhibit attribute mutations, but overall, it still depends on the bloodline of both soul parents."

"I see!" Su Ping nodded, then asked with a hint of strangeness, "So, the allocation of the Dragon God's Blood is the main reason for the competition among the various Heritage Sites in Dragon City?"

Su Ping didn't say the last three words, but the meaning was clear to the man.

The man nodded:

"There are rules in Dragon City. Every five years, there will be an evaluation among the various Heritage Sites.

The more achievements a Heritage Site has within the five-year period, the more Dragon God's Blood they will be allocated.

However, in reality, although the competition seems intense, there is actually enough Dragon God's Blood to go around. It's more about the Dragon Kings of the Heritage Sites competing for the sake of competition."

"Dragons are naturally combative. Since they can't fight among themselves, they can only find enjoyment in other aspects."

Su Ping absolutely believed in the dragons' combative nature.

Even Big Yellow, a relatively laid-back dragon, was the same. Except for when facing the true body of the Flame Lord, where he showed a bit of cowardice, this guy had never backed down.

Oh, wait, Su Ping now also knew that Big Yellow had backed down when facing Master Zhu Hongzhu and the Ice Dragon King.

"As I said before, if you can withstand the interference of the Sky Tomb Mark and have sufficient willpower, I can let you have initial contact with the Dragon Gate.

Now it seems you've done well, so prepare yourself. I'll take you to experience the Dragon Gate."

If before, Su Ping didn't understand what the Dragon Gate represented or the meaning behind the man's words, he might not have felt its significance.

After all, it was just a special treasure used to detect if a companion beast had the potential to become a dragon.

However, after hearing the man's explanation, Su Ping understood what the Dragon Gate represented.

Naturally, he also realized the significance of experiencing the Dragon Gate.

For a moment, he was hesitant to accept:

"Legendary Sir, I..."

"Don't worry, this is just initial contact. It doesn't mean anything, so don't feel pressured. Moreover, the Dragon Gate might also be able to help with your current situation.

Alright, do you have any other questions? Ask them now, we have plenty of time, and there's no rush."

The man calmly interrupted Su Ping.

Indeed, this man's personality was dominantly overbearing.

However, there was no point in refusing such a request.

Other questions? Su Ping wanted to ask about the Green Jade Spring Ginseng, as the one he found in Tianshan Mountain felt extremely bizarre.

For this reason, he didn't bring it with him on this trip to the Imperial Capital.

After some thought, Su Ping decided not to ask about it and instead inquired about something else related to the Green Jade Spring Ginseng:

"Legendary, do you know where I can find the Longevity Elixir?"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Dragon Legend was slightly taken aback:

"Hmm? What do you want it for? Is there someone close to you whose lifespan is almost up? But, to know where to find this thing, it should be a close relative, however..."

Obviously, the man already knew Su Ping's background, so there was no need to explain further.

Su Ping himself, Su An Yong, and even his grandfather Rong Bao, didn't need this elixir to extend their lives.

However, the Holy Dragon Legend didn't pursue the topic further. Instead, after a pause, he surprisingly revealed:

"But, I do know where this thing is."

Su Ping's eyes widened in anticipation as he looked at the man.

This time, the man didn't keep him in suspense and directly answered:

"It's not in our country but in the hands of the Lion Kingdom's royalty in the West."

"Ah?"

Su Ping furrowed his brows, but it made sense that if someone knew about this elixir, it would be challenging to obtain.

However, he hadn't expected it to be so difficult.

"Then, Legendary, do you have any other options?"

"You're quite bold, asking for a legendary-level resource. Usually, these resources are unique.

Legendary-level resources contain corresponding rule powers. These powers will only give birth to a similar type of resource in the unknown corners of the world.

Only after that resource is consumed will another one slowly emerge.

That Longevity Elixir has been in the hands of the Lion Kingdom for several decades now. There's also a hidden secret about this..."

At this point, the Legendary Dragon suddenly became gossip-like, revealing a secret:

"Among the Hall Super Skills, there's a wood-type super skill called 'Life Forest Matrix'! It's in the hands of a female breeder named Erikslin Connor in the Lion Kingdom!"

Su Ping suddenly realized who it was:

"The female breeder who committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, and was hunted down by the world's beastmaster forces?"

The Holy Dragon Legend wasn't surprised by Su Ping's knowledge and instead showed disdain:

"War crimes and crimes against humanity are just external claims by the Lion Kingdom. Initially, various countries and even beast empires joined forces, but it wasn't just for maintaining peace.

It was equally important for personal gain, and our Dragon Kingdom is no exception."

"Su Ping was even more curious, "Oh? Why?"

"The discoverer of this elixir of eternal life is this Erikslin Connor, and she has it in her possession.

According to speculation, that special and powerful hall-level super skill, the Life Forest Matrix, was likely cultivated using this elixir as the main ingredient.

Initially, this female breeder hid it well, but later, for some unknown reason, she was exposed. The queen of the Lion Kingdom ordered her to hand over the elixir, but she refused. Hence, the Green Forest Disaster occurred."

After a brief pause, the man continued his chatter, "The peacekeeping forces of various countries, of course, are also after this hidden legendary Wood-type Life-attribute elixir of eternal life.

Later, the Life Forest Matrix was completely erased, and the female breeder couldn't hold out any longer. She made a deal with the royal family, handing over the elixir to the Lion Kingdom's royalty.

The breeder's Connor family also became a 'trusted' family in the Lion Kingdom. Over the past few decades, they have held a position in the imperial library of the Lion Kingdom.

They are also the leaders in the breeder community of the Lion Kingdom, and each generation holds an inherited noble title granted by the royal family.

At the same time, the Life Forest Matrix skill is likely in their possession, and with the elixir of eternal life, it's highly possible they have already achieved results.

This is also why, despite the Lion Kingdom's declining status and strength, few dare to challenge them. But recently, I've heard that things aren't peaceful on the western side. It's said that a group of people united through religious beliefs and created a faith-based force, quite interesting."

The man didn't hide anything and openly shared these secrets of the world's elite.

To be honest, if it weren't for his own involvement, Su Ping wouldn't mind indulging in these juicy gossip.

However, it's evident that the current problem isn't this.

Life Forest Matrix? Erikslin Connor? The Lion Kingdom's royalty?

All he could think about was how to get his hands on the elixir of eternal life!

What if he couldn't keep his promise to the Spring Elder of the Mermaid Clan? Would she turn her back on him?

Should he take the Spring Elder to the Lion Kingdom and try to steal the elixir? It didn't sound very reliable, but it was the only somewhat feasible idea Su Ping could think of.

Shaking his head, he knew this method was a last resort. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to attempt it.

For now, the elixir of eternal life seemed out of reach.

Su Ping could only look at the Holy Dragon Legend in front of him, who was still eager for more gossip, and asked another question, "Legend, I have one more question. Is Meng Huangliang still around?"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Dragon Legend, who was still curious, furrowed his brows slightly, but soon relaxed, "Of course, Meng Yan wouldn't die. For a meritorious subject, Dragon Nation, and I, would never let him die.

But sometimes, the difference between living and dying isn't that significant. Or rather, sometimes living is worse than dying."

Su Ping was slightly startled, catching the implied meaning, "Meng Yan's condition isn't good?"

The Holy Dragon Legend nodded, "Yes, the Spirit attribute is the most special field, encompassing everything. This can also be seen from the complexity of Beastmaster talents.

Meng Yan was exposed during an operation. While entering the dream, he was ambushed and left with a very peculiar mark.

If not for the fact that the attacker wanted to keep Meng Yan alive, intending to turn him to steal Dragon Nation's secrets, he would have been dead long ago.

However, in the end, with the backup plan he left and my personal intervention, I barely brought him back. But his mental state after all these years is very fragile.

He is also a true genius. When this operation was proposed, there were objections, but unfortunately,

"Are you very interested in him? Or perhaps you're interested in the 'Dream Entry' skill?"

There is no right or wrong between nations, and Su Ping naturally acknowledged this behavior. However, he never expected that the situation had deteriorated to such an extent. "Even you couldn't do anything?"

"Su Ping, the perception of the spirit is the condensation and cognition of self-will. Emerald Dreamland and I have tried, but he himself can't distinguish between reality and dreams,

Yet he maintains the vigilance and wariness of a long-term infiltrator, as well as the self-enclosure knowing he has been exposed. Even with the Dream Entry cultivation method, we can't extract the information from him again.

For a meritorious subject, Dragon Nation would never use soul-searching methods. So, I advise you not to waste your efforts."

The man rarely gave such advice.

It's evident that if even this person finds it tricky, Meng Huangliang's situation is indeed very dire.

Su Ping also pursed his lips.

No way!

Indeed, there's no other option for the elixir of eternal life. This trip can't be in vain, and he should definitely give it a try.

With this thought, Su Ping looked at the man, "I want to visit Meng Yan. Where is he?"

The man looked at him deeply and then smiled, "Alright, he's in the Life Source Convalescent Home in the capital, a very ordinary convalescent home. Go and see him for me."

It seemed that at this point, the man's interest waned, and after a long sigh, he said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the Dragon Gate."
