Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 548 - 340: Fusing with the Ancestor Dragon
Lin Chen was stunned, then Ning Ye slowly explained.
Most buildings in Jiuxing City have collapsed and need to be rebuilt.
The forces in Jiuxing City plan to take this opportunity to expand the city’s area, so they are extending the urban area to the East Suburb.
"Where did you say?" Lin Chen was dumbfounded, thinking he must have heard wrong.
"East Suburb," Ning Ye repeated.
Lin Chen was at a loss.
His base in Jiuxing City was right in the city outskirts.
Ning Ye also remembered at this moment and looked at Lin Chen, saying, "That’s near your home, I believe."
After speaking, Ning Ye also said, "We’d better head back to Jiuxing City first. If Jiuxing City can first acquire a large amount of resources from the ruins of the Divine Fox Immortal Beast, it would be good for us."
Ning Ye’s thought process was simple: keep the benefits within their own circle; since it was discovered in Jiuxing City, naturally, the people of Jiuxing City should first enjoy these resources.
An Immortal Beast Level ruin has extremely abundant resources.
But secretly mining them is impossible because Jiuxing City is a small city; once exposed, it would definitely attract numerous forces.
"Okay."
Lin Chen quickly packed his things and then returned overnight to Jiuxing City with Ning Ye.
Along the way, Lin Chen also told him about Lee Zhen, which unexpectedly made Ning Ye very happy.
In the past, the major forces of Jiuxing City were in mutual competition, with none desiring the others to become too strong.
But after these two rounds of the Beast Tide, Ning Ye’s mindset changed too.
For a small city with small forces like theirs, the most important thing is to survive.
"Jiuxing City is also doing better."
Ning Ye glanced at Lin Chen and thought of Qin Shaoshao. If not for them, Jiuxing City might have already disappeared into history.
.....
Celestial Capital
National Master’s Institute
Since returning from the Celestial Realm Mountain, the people of the Celestial Capital were even more dissatisfied with Gu Ning.
This was supposed to be a good opportunity for the National Master’s Institute to establish its prestige, but unexpectedly Lin Chen and Gu Ning ended up equally matched.
So, it’s inevitable that Gu Ning’s reputation would fall again.
Even though he was defeated by Lin Chen, who already had a renowned reputation.
At this moment, Gu Ning sat quietly in the secret chamber, beside him an Ancestor Dragon Illusion Spirit occasionally appearing.
"One day, I will make everyone in the nation look up to me!"
Gu Ning took a deep breath.
He certainly hated Lin Chen.
This hatred was a result of the frustration brought by his defeat.
Throughout his life, Gu Ning had carried numerous halos, but behind the seemingly glamorous facade, he was actually enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden.
Even when he rose to the position of National Preceptor, he still couldn’t break free from the Gu Family.
Therefore, Gu Ning harbored a strong desire for revenge, much like a person who suddenly comes into unexpected wealth after a lifetime of poverty and feels driven to make retaliatory expenditures.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, forming the hand seal for the Dragon Transformation Skill:
The sixth seal!
This moment was the most important for Gu Ning.
The reason he acted against Lin Chen at the Celestial Realm Mountain was not only for the necessary establishment of authority but also because he couldn’t expose traces of the Ancestor Dragon.
Once the Spirit Dragon merged with the Ancestor Dragon’s power, it would be difficult to hide.
Therefore, during this period, Gu Ning would try his best not to take action until he truly became powerful enough to not fear any forces in the Celestial Capital.
In his meditation, the Ancestor Dragon Illusion Spirit, under the mysterious guidance of the Dragon Transformation Skill, plunged into the Spirit Dragon at an extremely fast pace like a golden lightning bolt.
Instantly, Gu Ning felt a powerful energy wave spreading around him.
The next second, Gu Ning’s eyes widened suddenly, and dazzling golden light burst forth from his pupils,
and the Spirit Dragon’s pupils similarly emitted a brilliant golden light, like two golden stars.
In an instant, the previously dim scales on the Spirit Dragon became vivid, each shimmering with dazzling golden light, as if embedded with countless golden gems.
A strong oppressive force of the Ancestor Dragon surged forward, causing the air around to tremble. Gu Ning only felt his heartbeat racing uncontrollably, as if it would burst through his chest.
"It’s done!"
Gu Ning shouted in his heart.
He had finally gained the power of the Ancestor Dragon, becoming the first person on Blue Star.
At this moment, the only thing Gu Ning lacked was time to fully master this power.
He could hardly contain the excited joy on his lips.
The golden light abated, and the Ancestor Dragon’s power was finally achieved.
Gu Ning slowly closed his eyes, immersing himself completely in feeling the immense power, his smile becoming even more radiant. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
After an unknown period, Gu Ning restrained his smile, walked out of the meticulously prepared secret chamber, only to find Lai Yonghui waiting outside as he stepped into the courtyard.
Gu Ning frowned, Lai Yonghui was arguably his most powerful assistant in the National Master’s Institute.
He contemplated whether Lai Yonghui had sensed anything.
Although this room was specially built by Gu Ning for today,
the Ancestor Dragon’s power was too strong, and it was normal for it to leak out, especially since Lai Yonghui himself had a Spirit Dragon, which made it even more dangerous.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Ning asked.
"I just sensed the Earth Vein surging, so I rushed over....," Lai Yonghui smiled and said, "I didn’t expect it was you, Lord National Master, cultivating here."
Seeing Lai Yonghui’s expression, Gu Ning was basically certain that the other party likely didn’t know he had mastered the Ancestor Dragon’s power.
But...
Gu Ning didn’t dare to gamble.
So at that moment, Gu Ning looked at Lai Yonghui as if he were a dead man.
"Let’s go. Don’t we have a meeting to attend?" Gu Ning said.
"Right, I almost forgot." Lai Yonghui extended his hand and said, "After you, National Master."
Just as he was bending over, Gu Ning suddenly summoned the Spirit Dragon, and before the other could react, a surge of energy pierced through Lai Yonghui’s abdomen.
"Nat...why...why?"
Lai Yonghui was full of confusion and despair.
The next second, he saw the Ancestor Dragon Illusion Spirit on Gu Ning’s Spirit Dragon and suddenly understood.
"I..."
He could no longer speak, for his life had reached its end, and he fell straight down.
Gu Ning stepped forward slowly, displaying no emotion on his face, as he used his hand to close Lai Yonghui’s eyes, muttering, "Yonghui, don’t blame me."
"Blame the state of this world."
....
About ten days later, Lin Chen finally returned to Jiuxing City.
Now the people of Jiuxing City had already begun reconstruction, contributing money if they had it, labor if they didn’t.
As for resources, many were allocated from the Celestial Capital, and the compensatory supplies promised by the Demon Race were also being delivered.
According to Ning Ye and their plans, the future goal for Jiuxing City is to become a medium-sized city.
But becoming a medium-sized city is extremely difficult.
Apart from having enough attractive resources, they must also have powerful figures to hold the fort.
While Qin Shaoshao is currently in Jiuxing City, the future is uncertain.
"Divine Venerable Qin, Patriarch Ning, and Lord Lin Chen have returned." From afar, someone saw them, and immediately many people excitedly rushed out.
