Chapter 1761 The Flood Dragon Pearl, the Harvest!
Followed by.
His gaze then fell upon another bronze treasure chest...
The box gleamed with a deep, dark blue light, and the ancient patterns engraved on the lid were identical to those on the previously opened treasure chest.
A similar aura of restriction was faintly present.
Obviously.
These two restrictions share the same origin; both are sealing techniques passed down through generations of the Golden Dragon Clan.
With just a glance, Cheng Buzheng had already discerned the key to the situation and found the precise location of the core node in the flow of the restriction.
After one glance...
Without hesitation, he flicked his finger—
A beam of multicolored light shot out from his fingertips, swift as lightning, and precisely struck the core node where the patterns on the box surface intersected.
boom!
With a soft click, the bronze box lid popped open.
Instead of the expected rare materials and minerals, the box contained perfectly round, jade-like pearls that shimmered with golden light.
The surface of the bead has naturally formed mysterious patterns, subtly revealing an extraordinary aura, making it no ordinary object.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Buzheng's gaze sharpened slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He didn't touch it directly, but merely gestured with his hand—
hum!
A golden pearl in the box rose up in response, its surface shimmering and rotating as if drawn by an invisible force. It drew a dazzling arc in the low air before landing steadily in his outstretched palm.
The pearl felt slightly heavy in my hand, with a warm and smooth texture like jade, yet it subtly conveyed a rhythmic pulse like blood pulsating within me.
Cheng Buzheng slowly opened his palm, revealing a golden bead the size of a longan lying quietly in his hand, its inner light flowing, as if a golden haze lingered within.
"Such a rich and concentrated essence of power..." He was moved as he touched it with his divine sense.
"The spiritual energy contained in this item is no less than that of a rare and precious natural treasure."
Strangely, it contained not a trace of Daoist aura, but instead exuded an extremely strong bloodline aura... as if it were a living thing!
His brows furrowed as he gently traced the mysterious, naturally formed patterns on the surface of the bead with his knuckles.
The patterns resembled both dragon scales and Daoist runes; when touched by fingertips, they emitted a burning sensation, as if touching a living creature.
Just as he was deep in thought, his mind suddenly trembled—
Why does the aura of this precious pearl seem so familiar?
Once the thought arises, countless fragments of memory in the sea of consciousness surge back like a galaxy, rushing past at high speed.
Seclusion, bloody battles, exploration, enlightenment... countless scenes flash by.
Suddenly, a scene deeply buried in my heart froze on my mind:
That was many years ago when I first 'met' Ao Yuan...
He used a secret method to peer into the depths of his consciousness for a fleeting moment—
Although blocked by the Golden Dragon Clan's restrictions, they still caught a glimpse of a golden bead floating at the source of their bloodline!
"I see……"
Cheng Buzheng's eyes gleamed brightly, a mixture of surprise and astonishment.
"I wondered why this felt so familiar! This is no Dragon Ball!"
"It is clearly a dragon pearl, formed from the life-and-death bond of the Golden Dragon Clan!"
All of a sudden.
Thoughts surged like a tide, and a hint of reminiscence appeared in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
Obviously.
Cheng Buzheng also recalled what happened after his first meeting with Ao Yuan.
Yes, that year when he first met Ao Yuan in the Endless Sea, the other party transformed into the true form of a golden dragon, stirring up the wind and clouds for hundreds of miles. His dragon might was overwhelming, and he was indeed not someone that he, who was still in the Golden Core stage at the time, could directly confront.
However, Cheng Buzheng was never one to fight head-on.
Finally, by using a little trick, he managed to win over the proud and arrogant Ao Yuan.
Cheng Buzheng had initially considered killing him, but didn't want to leave this potential threat behind...
What's more!
A golden dragon is a treasure from head to toe. Its scales can be used to forge armor, its tendons can be used to make bows, and its soul can be refined into magical artifacts to enhance their spirituality.
But just as he was about to deliver the killing blow, he sensed a terrifying restriction hidden deep within Ao Yuan's sea of consciousness—
It is a bloodline-tracing curse. Once Ao Yuan falls, the person who cast the curse will sense it and be able to track down the killer no matter where he is.
It was precisely because the contingency plan left by Ao Yuan by the Golden Dragon Clan's powerful members was too formidable to eliminate...
He was also unable to withstand the Golden Dragon Clan's retaliation...
That's why he reluctantly gave up the idea of killing Ao Yuan.
He even cleaned Ao Yuan Jiaolong's entire body repeatedly.
This was to eliminate any future troubles and prevent the Golden Dragon Clan's powerful members from investigating afterward.
As it turns out, the caution we exercised back then was absolutely correct.
In the years that followed, he was no longer approached by any powerful members of the Golden Dragon Clan.
The only one who suffered was Ao Yuan.
He really put Ao Yuan through a lot of trouble back then, almost to the point of being on the verge of death.
Although he survived, he lost all face.
For a long time after that, we didn't hear from Ao Yuan. I guess his Dao heart was damaged.
period.
He naturally noticed it as well: the golden dragon pearl unique to the Golden Dragon Clan.
Although Ao Yuan had powerful means of defense in his sea of consciousness at the time, he still vaguely saw the Golden Dragon Clan's dragon pearl.
It was exactly the same as the golden jewel inside the bronze treasure chest in front of them.
The only difference is that the box of dragon pearls in front of us is more solid, more ancient, and contains a more abundant essence.
Apart from that, they are almost identical.
Thinking of these past events, Cheng Buzheng stared at the golden pearl in his palm, a distant look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.
A few moments.
The distant look in his eyes gradually faded, receding into the depths of his profound gaze like the receding tide.
His gaze shifted from the lone dragon pearl in his palm to the mountain of golden pearls piled up in the box.
The shimmering light reflects off the water, creating a continuous flow, like a pool of golden water ignited by the setting sun.
But then a doubt quietly surfaced in my mind.
"This place is the eternal resting place of the Golden Dragon Clan, and the resentful ghost dragons outside are proof of that."
But having already transformed into a ghostly dragon, its soul and remaining body were bound by resentment and evil spirits.
How could such a pure natal dragon pearl, embodying the essence of a lifetime of cultivation, be left behind?
My thoughts paused slightly at this point.
Then, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.
"It seems that the passage of time has dulled my senses a bit."
Such a simple principle requires a moment's thought.
The truth is actually quite obvious.
Not all powerful Golden Dragon Clan members nearing their end are willing to succumb to eternal resentment after death, transforming into ghost dragons who only know how to guard the graveyard.
Surely some strong individuals, concerned for the future of their people, chose a different path—
Before his death, he deliberately dissolved his physical form, condensing his life's cultivation and bloodline essence into his natal dragon pearl, which he preserved.
To enrich the clan and bring blessings to future generations.
This box of gleaming dragon pearls represents the final decision made by these ancestors.
It is also one of the accumulated strengths of the Golden Dragon Clan over countless years.
Think of this.
Cheng Buzheng nodded slightly, his mind suddenly clearing.
"That must be it!"
He examined the box of dragon pearls again, his gaze now completely different.
"While this item offers no direct benefit to my cultivation, placing it in the external world..."
It is a rare treasure that could drive even a Nascent Soul cultivator mad.
A dragon pearl of this quality is more valuable than ordinary rare and precious materials.
If it were to leak out, it would be enough to unleash a bloodbath.
It is also an excellent material for alchemy and weapon crafting.
If used for alchemy, it could definitely produce priceless fourth-tier spirit pills that could enhance the abilities of Nascent Soul cultivators.
Even when used as a core material and smelted into magical artifacts, it can drastically increase the quality of the artifacts, making them far more powerful than their peers.
It may even give rise to mysterious supernatural abilities such as "protection by the dragon soul" and "communicating with spirits through water".
These are advantages that ordinary rare and precious materials cannot match.
"good!"
Cheng Buzheng gazed at the golden jewels inside the bronze treasure chest, his eyes filled with growing satisfaction.
"The Golden Dragon Clan adhered to the bonds of kinship and could not bear to use their wealth for themselves. Instead, they accumulated such a vast fortune, which ultimately benefited me."
Without this 'compassion,' how could we have achieved such a bountiful harvest today?
"With this box of dragon pearls, the foundation of the Cheng Clan of Ping'an City can be further enhanced."
Once the thought crossed my mind, I had no more hesitation.
Cheng Buzheng smiled slightly, rolled up his sleeves, and stirred up a faint breeze.
The heavy bronze treasure chest, along with the hundreds of golden dragon pearls inside, instantly transformed into a stream of light, disappeared into his sleeve, and vanished without a trace.
Inside the main hall, a space suddenly became empty, with only a few other treasure chests remaining, waiting to be opened.
Followed by.
His gaze fell on the other bronze treasure chests.
Seeing this, Cheng Buzheng did not hesitate. He flicked his fingers several times, and beams of light shot out from his fingertips, landing on the other bronze treasure chests.
boom!
Boom! !
The enchantments on the several bronze treasure chests broke instantly.
The moment the box lid was opened...
The dazzling light illuminated the entire hall, making it shimmer and shine.
The box was filled with a dazzling array of rare and precious materials, including a phoenix stone with flowing crimson flames, a kui ox horn with flickering lightning, and even a cold jade marrow imbued with the essence of moonlight.
Each piece exudes a breathtaking aura.
These rare treasures, which would be the object of fierce competition among Nascent Soul cultivators in the outside world, were now piled up like ordinary junk.
The sheer number of them is astonishing.
"Good! Good! Good!" Cheng Buzheng exclaimed three times, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
"With so many rare and precious materials to help me, once I achieve the state of 'man and treasure as one' with my natal magic weapon, I will definitely be able to advance the four [Chaos Tribulation Swords] to a higher level!"
Perhaps, they can even break through two barriers!
"Although it's a bit extravagant, it will provide more security after ascending to the upper realm."
In an instant, Cheng Buzheng decided on the fate of these rare and precious materials.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
after all!
The rare and precious materials in the original body, as well as the magical treasures collected previously, have been depleted over the years.
For example, the several grand ceremonies held in Ping'an City consumed a lot of magical treasures and rare first-tier spiritual materials in the master's possession.
Filling the treasure troves of the Cheng Clan's three lineages also consumed a vast amount of treasures...
Therefore, the resources that the original body earned from opening a shop in the Immortal Alliance City back then
Now, the main body has very few magical treasures and spiritual materials left.
For this reason, Cheng Buzheng also urgently needs a resource to save for his natal spirit treasure to absorb in the future for advancement.
The rare and precious materials in the treasure chest couldn't be better.
After Cheng Buzheng's gaze swept over the bronze treasure chests, he didn't hesitate for a moment, and with a wave of his hand...
In an instant, the pile of rare and precious first-tier spiritual materials disappeared from the spot.
The hall suddenly became much emptier, with only one unopened treasure chest remaining.
After putting away the bronze treasure chest, Cheng Buzheng's gaze fell on it.
With a flick of the finger, the restriction vanished like a bubble.
The lid of the box opened with a click, revealing jade slips, animal hides, and other items piled up inside.
These carriers come in various forms: there are bone fragments as white as jade, pages cast in dark gold, and even a few pieces of tortoise shell exuding an ancient aura.
However, most of them are jade slips of varying lengths, colors, and styles.
"Could these jade slips and animal hides be the cultivation techniques, secret methods, spells, and supernatural abilities of the Golden Dragon Clan...?"
moment.
The thought subconsciously surfaced in Cheng Buzheng's mind.
after all!
Although the display cases embedded around the main hall are covered by a thin layer of light, the contents inside can still be seen.
There are many magical treasures, such as a square seal and an ancient, unadorned pagoda.
There are also many other shapes of bottles and jars, such as round bottles with large bellies and jade bottles with long necks.
There are also ores of various shapes, and spiritual herbs of different forms, each radiating a single glow...
But there were no jade slips, animal hides, gold strategies, or similar items.
Obviously.
The Golden Dragon Clan's cultivation techniques and secret arts, etc., are not available on the shelves.
For this reason, Cheng Buzheng subconsciously assumed that the box of jade slips, animal hides, and jade books before him...
It is the legacy of the Golden Dragon Clan.
Therefore, Cheng Buzheng was naturally very interested in these jade slips and jade books.
With a wave of his hand, a piece of jade transformed into a streak of light and flew towards him.
A vast divine sense emanated from his body and covered the ancient-looking jade slip in his palm.
A flood of information rushed into Cheng Buzheng's mind in an instant.
soon.
His brows furrowed.
Followed by.
Cheng Buzheng quickly picked up another jade slip and examined it.
After examining more than a dozen jade slips, Cheng Buzheng slowly put down the bone slip containing the "Wind and Thunder Demonic Arts," a knowing glint in his eyes.
It quickly turned into a faint disappointment.
"None of them!"
"Could it be that the Golden Dragon Clan's cultivation techniques are passed down in...?"
Think of this.
He subconsciously looked up at the circular dome, where golden dragons of varying sizes roamed among the vast starry sky.
Not bad.
Before Cheng Buzheng lay a chest full of jade slips, animal hides, and jade books…
Although it records profound and mysterious methods such as the "Five Elements Thunder Wrath Scripture" and the "Three Turns of the Green Snake Scripture,"
Each of these techniques, once passed down, would be enough to become a prized possession of a powerful sect.
Without exception, none of them were the original lineage of the Golden Dragon Clan.
These cultivation techniques and secret arts possess a complex and varied aura, yet they also exhibit the righteous and awe-inspiring Daoist qualities of human cultivators.
There are also various strange and supernatural powers of demon cultivators.
These are clearly "spoils of war" collected by the Golden Dragon Clan after conquering all directions and annihilating their enemies over countless years.
It is not a lineage of the Golden Dragon Clan.
However, he had to admit that the items that the Golden Dragon Clan had chosen and collected here were indeed of exceptional quality.
The cultivation techniques that Cheng Buzheng just examined all point directly to the Nascent Soul stage.
Some ancient animal hides even bear secret techniques that faintly touch upon the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage.
The same applies to the cultivation techniques of the demon race; they are complete systems with astonishing power.
However, it was of no use to Cheng Buzheng; at most, it could only provide some ideas.
"It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away..."
He spoke softly, his gaze sweeping once more over the box of inherited treasures, enough to cause a massive bloodbath in the outside world.
But the next moment, a scene flashed through his mind: the Cheng family members in Ping'an City flipping through those 'somewhat crude' family cultivation techniques in the Sutra Repository.
Compared to this box of profound and all-encompassing heritage that points directly to the ultimate truth...
Our own limited resources are like fireflies compared to the bright moon.
This is no longer "not worth mentioning," but a world of difference.
