Chapter 1060: Chapter 68: Pure Essence Soil Trait, Resolving Drawbacks! Major Future Reallocation? (6)
"It’s too ruthless, the Great Dragon King’s ’Zhao’ is quite something of our dynasty, Yin Xiu and Yin Li’s edicts must have this name, it’s quite flashy!"
"You ask me, who do I ask."
...
"Dong! Clang!"
"Ding! Clang!"
Gu Ting Royal City, Fuming Temple.
Cao Qianyue was diligently hammering a weapon component, beside him a giant furnace was set on a magma lake.
He was hammering beside it, not far away a little girl with double pigtails was sitting on an iron frame, her fair legs dangling.
"Dunlie, how long are you going to hammer? It’s too boring." Li Muwan’s head popped out from behind a huge Dragon Fruit, with fruit pulp fragments on her lips.
"I’ve almost finished eating three Dragon Abyss Pears, and you’re not done yet."
"Almost there, almost there!" Cao Qianyue chuckled honestly, "Once I finish, we can go eat."
"All right, all right." Li Muwan jumped down, beaming with joy: "What are we eating today?"
"Eighth Rank Fire Dragon Axe Shards, how about that?"
"Wow? You can get that?" Li Muwan’s eyes lit up.
"I can’t on my own, but I’m Duke Divine Might’s trusted aide!" Cao Qianyue touched his bald head.
"You think the Great Dragon King ’Zhao’ is Duke Divine Might Zhao Xing?" Li Muwan asked curiously.
"Um um hm~" Cao Qianyue shook his head while covering his mouth, "I don’t know."
"I really don’t know." Cao Qianyue explained, "Don’t ask, my treatment has gotten much better now, maybe in one or two years, I can reach Third Rank. If you ask again and lose it for me, we won’t get to eat such good stuff."
"I won’t ask anymore!" Li Muwan said cheerfully, "Next time you meet Duke Divine Might, mention me, see if I can be transferred over."
"Sure." Cao Qianyue smiled, "I’ve already mentioned, your Gluttonous Eating Skill is even higher than mine, the Marquis will surely like it."
...
In the third year of entering the Nine-star Fire Prison.
In the sky above a dark red land, a Five-clawed Golden Dragon watched over from above.
"Three years now, I’ve reached the depths of the Dragon Prison."
"I didn’t expect, there would still be a living Great Dragon King here."
Zhao Xing looked down, on the dark red land below, coiled a gigantic Black Dragon!
It occupied almost three-fifths of the land, with very limited area to move, the massive dragon head and dragon scales, even while asleep, shimmered with a dangerous glow.
Its size exceeded a hundred kilometers, Zhao Xing could sense the terrifying aura naturally emanating from the Black Dragon from afar.
"He’s in a sleeping state now, but still alive." Zhao Xing pondered.
"Underneath his body, there must be Spiritual Energy, otherwise he wouldn’t have lived so long."
Unlike other places, beside this imprisoned Black Great Dragon King, there was a Stele.
Recording his name, and the time and reason for his imprisonment.
"Great Dragon King ’Zhi’, due to violating laws, secretly returned to the Dragon Court, was imprisoned by Dragon Emperor Jie in the Fifth Dragon Yuan epoch, for one epoch."
"Dragon Yuan epoch, a million years, the Fifth Dragon Yuan epoch, should be in Dragon Emperor Jie’s late period, that time should have been during the war between Dragon Court and the Heavenly Pool Demon Race."
"This crime is equivalent to a frontier general returning to the Capital without orders."
"Imprisoned for a million years, probably even longer." Zhao Xing thought.
After all, with the Dragon Emperor dead later, no one would release ’Zhi’.
"Looks like my thoughts were correct." Zhao Xing quietly stared at the Stele, repeatedly confirming that this Great Dragon King was indeed called ’Zhi’, his heart surged.
"In my previous life, I entered the Nine-star Fire Prison many times, seeing only the corpse of Great Dragon King ’Zhi’."
"He should have been dead, but now he’s alive and well, just asleep, looking like he can continue to sleep."
"Why is he still alive? Naturally, it’s the Spiritual Spring preserving his life."
"In this life, the total amount of Spiritual Energy is more than I imagined. It’s certain, or rather, the total amount of Spiritual Energy in the Xuanhuang Realm hasn’t changed, but because consumption has slowed, a lot remains."
Zhao Xing’s eyes flashed with contemplation.
"The biggest reason for this situation is... ’players’!"
"The biggest difference between this life and the past life is the absence of players."
"If the mechanism of players resurrecting requires consuming a large amount of Spiritual Energy to accomplish, a type of Heaven and Earth rule."
"Without players, without the resurrection mechanism, more Spiritual Energy remains."
"From the amount I’ve mined at the Dragon Well over these three years, the surplus of Spiritual Energy is very high, even exceeding my maximum expectation by two or three times."
"Then, will the small-scale Spiritual Energy revival during the Emperor Wu Period’s Primordial Qi Tide become larger?"
Zhao Xing found himself in deep thought.
This pertains to his subsequent plans, he had to think about it.
"If, if ... could it be completed during the Emperor Wu Period and ascend?"
"That Spiritual Energy revival rain... can I possibly make it bigger?"
"A manual Spiritual Energy Revival... " Zhao Xing recalled, "This was part of the Benevolence Sky plan organized by players back then."
"If I lead and initiate the ’Benevolence Sky’ plan, can I complete the manual Spiritual Energy revival during the Emperor Wu Period and assist the Great Zhou Dynasty in ascending?"
Zhao Xing’s eyes sparkled, contemplating this possibility.
"The current validation only proves there is more Spiritual Energy than in the previous life, guiding the Spiritual Energy revival might not be sufficient yet ..."
"Then I need to compress the ascension version and revival version into the same period."
"There’s only less than a thousand years, is it possible?" Zhao Xing pondered deeply.
"I still need more data for reference!"
"Upon this return, I will complete preliminary calculations during the Emperor Jing Period."
"If everything turns out as anticipated..." Zhao Xing clenched his fist, his eyes glowing with brilliance. "Then my plan will undergo significant changes!"
"Perhaps, I can rewrite the fate of many people, even the destiny of a dynasty!"
