Miracle Farmer with Special Abilities-Chapter 664 - 0: Magical Earth Dragon_1

"Your merits are insufficient; entering my body would adversely affect me," the Dragon Vein said indifferently. "However, you possess far more merits than those who have come before you. Considering the many gifts you’ve brought me, I will allow you to cultivate here once. But you may only enter the great hall; the rooms are off-limits."

Why can’t I enter the rooms? Zhang Bin wondered.

"Your merits are not enough. The aura you emit is unpleasant and could contaminate me. How then could I ever cultivate into a true, crystal-clear, supremely powerful Earth Dragon and achieve Ascension to the Immortal Realm? Moreover, you are still of mortal flesh. What qualifies you to enter my rooms for cultivation? Besides, the Dragon Qi in the rooms is too dense for you to withstand. You would gain no benefit," the Dragon Vein stated coldly.

This Dragon Vein can actually cultivate into an Earth Dragon and ascend to the Immortal Realm? This is incredible. It seems I must continue to find ways to accumulate merits and strive to become stronger. If I can cultivate to the Minor Tree Realm, I should no longer be of mortal flesh. Zhang Bin mused in amazement, then asked with anticipation, "Can I bring someone with me to cultivate?"

"No," the Dragon Vein said coldly.

"I know of a companion of yours who allowed a cultivator with great merits to bring others in for cultivation. Why won’t you allow it?" Zhang Bin asked, confused.

"A companion of mine? Where?" The Dragon Vein actually showed a hint of excitement.

"On another planet," Zhang Bin said.

"So it’s on another planet." The Dragon Vein’s interest waned. It said indifferently, "For my companion to do so, that person must have accrued tremendous merits and been very powerful. They must have benefited it significantly, or at the very least, helped to purify it. You, however, are not qualified."

Zhang Bin was suddenly speechless. How could his merits compare to Long Teng Jiu Tian’s? It seemed that strengthening the Taiqing Sect would be no easy feat. Nonetheless, he was still thrilled because, at the very least, he himself could enter to cultivate.

He promptly told Red Leaf he would be going into seclusion here for a few days, a statement that left her utterly dumbfounded. Still, she obediently refrained from asking any more questions and quickly returned.

Hehehe... Now, let me enter the Dragon Palace and have a look around. Zhang Bin shouted excitedly in his heart and immediately used Earth Escape to burrow inward.

This time, he met no resistance and merged directly inside. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Within the Dragon Heart, everything was made of crystal-clear, top-grade Spirit Stones, countless and densely packed. In some places, the Spirit Stones had even fused into a single mass, making them almost indistinguishable as individual stones.

Could it be that this entire mountain must be transformed into pure top-grade Spirit Stones, devoid of any impurity, to cultivate into a true Earth Dragon and then ascend to the Immortal Realm? Zhang Bin wondered.

"How could it be that simple?" the Dragon Vein’s somewhat indifferent voice echoed in Zhang Bin’s mind. "A natural Dragon Vein is the essence of a planet. Ascending to the Immortal Realm is countless times more difficult than cultivation for any intelligent being. I must cultivate my entire body into a crystal-clear, top-grade Spirit Stone to possess terrifying Divine Skills and ascend. Before that, I have almost no Defensive Power. Thus, when people mine the Spirit Stones within me, I’m unable to resist and can only watch helplessly. However, my Dragon Heart has Defensive Power and can prevent any powerful Cultivator from entering."

"My heavens! Then how is it even possible to cultivate to the point of Ascension to the Immortal Realm?" Zhang Bin was completely dumbstruck, hardly believing his ears. A strong sense of pity welled up in his heart.

"It’s not as miserable as you think," the Dragon Vein said. "I can make any Cultivator who comes to mine Spirit Stones understand that the Dragon Heart must not be touched. Only with the Dragon Heart intact can they continue to obtain a source of mid-grade Spirit Stones. So, we Dragon Veins do not die. We can exist indefinitely, and as long as we’re alive, there’s hope. Once the Dragon Heart is completely cultivated into a single, flawless, crystal-clear Spirit Stone, the speed of cultivation will increase. From there, it might only take a few billion more years to reach the Ascension Realm. Can you plants and animals live as long as I? Your lifespans are mere decades or centuries. By comparison, I am more fortunate."

"You have a point. We don’t need to envy others; everyone has their strengths and weaknesses," Zhang Bin said. "But for a Dragon Vein like you, if you’re discovered, they’ll mine your Spirit Stones incessantly. The odds of you reaching the Ascension Realm would be incredibly slim."

"You are right. That is why we Dragon Veins hide deep underground, hoping not to be discovered by Cultivators. But over such a long stretch of time, it’s still possible to be found. Actually, even being discovered doesn’t matter much. Any given intelligent civilization won’t last too long—they’ll be destroyed after a few thousand or tens of thousands of years. Once they’re gone, I can continue to cultivate and slowly grow stronger," the Dragon Vein said indifferently.

Zhang Bin was utterly speechless, stunned by the Dragon Vein’s words.

Any intelligent civilization won’t last too long? Why?

"That’s simple," the Dragon Vein said lightly. "Most intelligent civilizations constantly destroy nature. They ceaselessly take from Heaven and Earth until Heaven and Earth can no longer bear it. When they become completely enraged, disaster naturally befalls the civilization, leading to its extinction."

"What is ’Heaven and Earth’?" Zhang Bin asked, stopping in his tracks, completely shocked.

"Heaven is the Heavenly Dao, which is the Universe. To be precise, it’s the Solar System you’re in contact with. As for Earth, that is, of course, this planet," the Dragon Vein explained.

"Was the Three Eyes civilization extinguished like that?" Zhang Bin asked after a long pause.

"I can only vaguely sense some external situations through Heaven-Man Resonance. As for how the Three Eyes civilization—the one that discovered me—was extinguished, I’m not entirely certain. But it was probably for the reason I mentioned," the Dragon Vein said.

"That reason isn’t comprehensive enough," Zhang Bin argued. "It’s possible that terrifying enemies from another planet came to dominate this one and exterminate its intelligent civilization. I know of one such terrifying civilization, the Black Prison civilization..."

"That’s a different scenario, and such cases are extremely rare." The Dragon Vein hesitated before continuing, "If one cultivates to a very powerful level, one can resist Heaven and Earth. The Black Prison Star People are probably such a race. They aren’t just here to annihilate intelligent life; they likely want to seize all the planet’s treasures, including Dragon Veins like me."

"Heavens... that might actually be true." Zhang Bin’s face turned pale, and his wariness toward the Black Prison Star’s battleship instantly escalated by several levels.
