Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1132 - 903: Not Taking You Along

The journey is to find the future Azure Dragon, Jiang Yuan thought about it and decided to bring Yan Xuan along.

Although they don’t know each other in this life, in their past lives they were an Azure Dragon and a Black Tortoise, divine beasts that fought side by side. Should they ascend again in the future, they would be good partners, so it’s best to get acquainted early and enlist him in the courtyard for long-term residence.

"Going to find a dragon?" Yan Xuan, still drowsy from sleep, raised his bird-like face with clear eyes and looked at him curiously, asking, "Master, did Bai Yunqi transform into a Flood Dragon and run away? Where are we going to find it?"

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Xiao Bai has gone into seclusion to stabilize his breath, I’m talking about another dragon. Speaking of which, I count as his savior, today we’re visiting an old friend, I’m taking you along to get acquainted."

"Great!" Yan Xuan jumped up, with a layer of light frost rising from his claw tips.

Immediately, he shook off the thin ice condensed on him, thoroughly waking up, "Master, I’m ready, let’s set off!"

Being able to strut around with the master for a while, without having to go to the Land of the Extreme North to eat ice, was a wish fulfilled.

Jiang Yuan thought of the Family Portrait Gift Package, which contained a Task Progress Acceleration Card specifically for him. After chatting with the Elder Dragon and coming back, he planned to use it on Yan Xuan to see how it accelerates!

They teleported to the Wilderness World at Yellow Dragon Ridge, just as they landed, the steep cliff canyon blew a dry wind, with the sound of the wind whistling, sweeping yellow soil and dust away with the sunlight.

Yan Xuan blew a breath, and the dust storm like a yellow dragon bypassed them and flew to the other side.

"Wow! This place looks so shabby, it’s already deep autumn but still dry and arid, Master, look around, there’s not even a single blade of grass growing, so poor!" He puckered his mouth disdainfully and boldly asked, "So the master’s friend is an Earth Dragon?"

"Isn’t it indeed an Earth Dragon." Jiang Yuan casually replied, then realized something was off—Azure Dragon should have a wood attribute, right?

According to the principle that water fosters wood, Yan Xuan and Azure Dragon’s attributes should harmonize.

But Elder Dragon Zhou Jian has an earth attribute, and earth restrains water, hence Yan Xuan’s unfavorable first impression of the place. Could it be the special mission ahead requires transforming the attributes of the Elder Dragon to ascend Azure Dragon?

It was unclear whether something went wrong when one of the four symbols, Azure Dragon, fell, or whether an accident occurred during the condensation of the Elder Dragon.

The energy of the Azure Dragon dispersed into the world, resulting in an Earth-attributed dragon, hopefully transforming the attributes with system help won’t be too troublesome.

Jiang Yuan contemplated, leading Yan Xuan to the entrance of the underground palace, before he could speak, the earth trembled and rumbled.

The grand entrance of the underground palace appeared immediately, with the hearty laughter of Elder Dragon Zhou Jian accompanying his figure flying over to greet them, "Benefactor’s esteemed arrival, forgive me for not meeting you sooner, please come in!"

His voice was resonant like a bell, carrying an exuberant joy that was hard to suppress, indicating that he recovered well since being detoxified by the Elixir.

After meeting the Elder Dragon, a side mission to detoxify him was triggered, resulting in the Alchemy Room being upgraded to Level Eight, obtaining an Eighth Grade Pill Formula—Universal Antitoxic Pill. Afterward, the side mission came to an end, with no subsequent developments.

Today, seeing his condition, Jiang Yuan guessed that further alchemy might be needed to continue detoxifying the Elder Dragon.

After all, Lin Yao senior provided an Elixir, and the mission required he provide another, which combined would maintain the venom for only ten years. For high-level cultivators, a decade is fleeting; current status is fine but unresolved concerns remain.

"Is everything really earthy here?" Yan Xuan walked in the underground palace formed by yellow soil, its dry and slightly dusty atmosphere making him quite unhappy.

Elder Dragon Zhou Jian laughed, "Indeed, this place is called Yellow Dragon Ridge, it has been barren and devoid of vegetation since ancient times.

There’s a rumor that during the God-Demon War, a Fire Dragon fell here. Though dead and its Tao disappeared, the dragon’s body burned for forty-nine days, scorching this area to permanently extinguish life.

However, the Fire Dragon’s flames were eventually quenched by heavy rain, leaving this ridge with endless yellow earth sprawled like a dragon. This mountainous terrain absorbed the Essence of Heaven and Earth, birthing me as this pure earth attribute creature."

The underground palace deep inside was as magnificent and unrefined as ever, Elder Dragon invited them both to be seated and served two cups of fragrant tea, "I wonder what brings the benefactor here today?"

"It’s naturally a great matter related to ascension!" On the way here, Jiang Yuan thought of it thoroughly; when they first met, the Elder Dragon had spoken of how he’d at least be conferred as a Mountain God if born in a peaceful era.

From his words, one could discern profound regret, suggesting he valued ascension to immortality.

Directly addressing the main point, interest-related, made the conversation naturally smooth.

"Oh? Did the benefactor hear the news?" To Jiang Yuan’s surprise, Elder Dragon Zhou Jian’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, he took the conversation with delight, "Colluding in such great endeavors with you, benefactor, suits me perfectly!

Haha, who would have thought, the Demon Realm Alliance, those rabble, secretly stowed the Power of the Celestial Dao’s Remnant for so many years. Such vulgar beings aspire to absorb the Celestial Dao’s remnant power and ascend? Don’t they know their own worth, utterly laughable.

While I’m unsure of benefactor’s current realm, yet I don’t boast idly, being a spirit of heaven and earth, I am confident of bringing you along to ascend to the Celestial Realm. Of course, the prerequisite is first to snatch that Power of the Celestial Dao’s Remnant from the Demon Realm Alliance."

Jiang Yuan: ...

Snatch a ball of yarn! It was initially meant to include you!

Before he could speak, the Elder Dragon eagerly declared, "We must act swiftly, it’s overheard that a Snake Demon has just successfully transformed into a Flood Dragon in the Wilderness. Though not a true dragon like me, a creature of heaven and earth, it qualifies to compete for the Celestial Dao’s remnant power.
