Chapter 1462: Chapter 1466: Sealed in the Underworld

...

Returning to The City of Ten Thousand Miles, the first thing Zhu Minglang did was to retreat into the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

This time the trouble he stirred was not an ordinary matter, and the issue of plucking Golden Crow’s feathers hadn’t even completely settled, now there’s another major crime.

Though he had only been in Jun Tian for a few years, Zhu Minglang felt that the entire Jun Tian was beginning to be unable to accommodate him.

Fortunately, this time he made substantial gains, not to mention Jade Emperor Golden Dragon and Flame of Nine Yins, just those Old Jun’s Fruit serves as the ultimate Spirit Root, which Zhu Minglang was lacking—these treasures that could directly enhance his Cultivation Base. Now, he obtained a whole basketful at once and had to carefully consider how to distribute them.

As for Little Glutton, it’s already eaten to its heart’s content.

Since this creature entered adulthood, its cultivation increased dramatically. This time, after devouring so many Old Jun’s Fruit, even ingesting the Old Monarch Tree into its stomach, it seems it won’t be long before it steps into the Solar Corona Level.

The strongest period for a Gluttonous Monster should reach the peak of the Corona Level, the strongest Realm beneath the heavens. If Zhu Minglang hadn’t used extreme measures at Dragon Gate, sacrificing half of the Spirit Roots of the Divine Chosen from the Fourth Dragon Gate and summoning his dragons for a team assault, capturing it would indeed be very challenging.

If nothing unexpected happens, Little Glutton could be one of the most formidable among his Main Dragons.

After this expedition to Ten Thousand Dragon Valley’s Sky Court, Little Glutton gorged itself, and the next step concerns how to digest those Old Jun’s Fruit that mature at one year and increase cultivation by tens of thousands of years.

There’s also the Old Monarch Tree, it’s unclear whether it can be digested within its cosmic stomach or if the tree will continue to grow directly inside.

Little Glutton entered another hibernation, and upon waking, it should be closer to the former ruler of the heavens.

The one with potential for a substantial increase in strength is the Earthbound Dragon.

Zhu Minglang also noticed that the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon actually already possesses the qualifications to ascend to the Solar Corona Divine State.

Were it not for the imprisonment and damage to its Divine Soul, its strength would be far beyond what it presently shows.

The Old Jun’s Fruit provided the Earthbound Dragon with tremendous Spirit Origin energy, leading Zhu Minglang to contemplate whether he should attempt to aid the Earthbound Dragon in ascending to the Solar Corona Divine State as well.

Previously, Zhu Minglang dared not try it due to the lack of powerful protectors.

Now, with Jade Emperor Golden Dragon, Flame of Nine Yins, and Primordial Black Dragon—these three Halo Divine Dragons—even if it fails, their spirits won’t be utterly destroyed.

Moreover, the likelihood of his dragons failing to ascend is quite low; they have already undergone a Reincarnation Transformation, elevating their bloodlines and divine forms to a higher Realm. During his experience at Dragon Gate, he engaged in a process of cleansing and transcending; how could his dragons not have been elevated too?

With ample time, Zhu Minglang aspires to advance further, enabling Earthbound Dragon to return to the Solar Corona Level. Even if he causes great havoc in The City of Ten Thousand Miles, only a few would dare hold him accountable!

"This one must be a hundred years old, increasing cultivation by over a million years is not an issue."

"Eat one first and see how it affects you."

Zhu Minglang found an Old Jun’s Fruit and fed it to the Earthbound Dragon.

The Earthbound Dragon’s physique is also very robust, and such a massive infusion of Spiritual Energy didn’t cause any unhealthy redness.

"It can actually digest it, indicating that your time in the Well of the Imprisoned Dragon tempered you, but your Divine Soul is somewhat weak. After nourishing, you can easily ascend."

The Earthbound Dragon already possesses the qualifications to ascend; if not for being imprisoned and oppressed, it could have reached the Solar Corona Level ten years ago.

Now, its dragon body and Dragon Soul are showing signs of another transformation, especially after consuming the Old Jun’s Fruit. Zhu Minglang realized that the Earthbound Dragon is only a step away from its Solar Crown, blocked by injuries and damage to its Divine Soul, stalling its cultivation at Moon Radiance God King.

"The Spiritual Energy is sufficient, just lacking one soul forging!"

The concept of soul forging is similar to the reunion of Weaver Star’s soul and spirit.

Humans have Three Souls and Seven Spirits; to ascend to the Solar Corona Level Realm, these three souls and seven spirits all require forging.

Dragons possess the Heavenly Soul and Earth Soul; the Heavenly Soul is akin to human’s Heavenly Soul, representing divine form, and the Earth Soul embodies various trials and cultivation derived through earthly experiences.

Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing, collects the Earth Soul of the dragon.

The Earthbound Dragon’s Heavenly Soul is prepared for ascension; it’s lacking in Earth Soul, consolidated cultivation base, and a robust Dragon Soul!

How to grant the Earthbound Dragon the opportunity to forge its Earth Soul is a challenging endeavor.

This matter also requires destined opportunity.

If the Old Heavenly Father doesn’t provide such an opportunity, regardless of the efforts and resources spent by Zhu Minglang, the Earthbound Dragon is unable to ascend to the Solar Corona Level Realm.

But while Zhu Minglang was troubled, the Earthbound Dragon informed him of the location of its Earth Soul forging chance.

It told Zhu Minglang that it wasn’t sealed by the Town Mountain Immortal Ancestor in the Well of the Imprisoned Dragon, but it was seeking its soul forging opportunity there.

Rumor has it the Well of the Imprisoned Dragon leads to the Ghost Gate of the Underworld. As a Dragon from the Underworld, it should reside in the Netherworld beneath the Well of the Imprisoned Dragon...

Just as Yama Dragon must complete a fateful struggle to truly become the Yama.

For the Earthbound Dragon to become the true Earthbound Dragon, at the deepest part of the Underworld, there’s a fated enemy awaiting it.

Only after defeating this fated enemy can it truly claim the title of Earthbound Dragon!

"Does this mean we must travel to the Underworld?" Zhu Minglang pondered, stroking his chin.

It felt a bit unsuitable.

Zhu Minglang wasn’t very sure about the situation in the Underworld.

It should possess a system of Underworld gods comparable to the Sky Domain’s Dome Court.

These Underworld gods aren’t easy to deal with.

If that’s the case, Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon’s ascent to Solar Corona Level would need to be postponed.

Such places as the Underworld are best ventured once the Sword Spirit Dragon returns, for there his dragons would face suppression, unable to fully wield their strength.

"Then rest and heal, and once given the opportunity, we’ll venture to the Well of the Imprisoned Dragon, into the Netherworld to forge your Earth Soul!" Zhu Minglang assured the Earthbound Dragon.

The Earthbound Dragon nodded.

Though many of Zhu Minglang’s dragons around him now surpass its strength, the Earthbound Dragon isn’t in a hurry to prove itself.

Its true strength hasn’t emerged, unlike Sword Spirit Dragon and Big Black Tooth, which awoke after fifty years. It has only awakened recently within twenty years.

Its power is still sealed in the Underworld!

...

As time passed, Zhu Minglang, who caused two major incidents, led an especially peaceful life.

Every day, he meditated and cultivated, fed his dragons, nurtured the spirits, and unconsciously arrived at the Golden Crow’s rotational season!

Perhaps due to just shedding its feathers, this year’s Golden Crow appeared much more gentle, its radiance no longer so harsh. Even at noon, falling on the skin, it felt merely warm and pleasant.

A bit weak.

This year’s Golden Crow.

No one knows where it traveled this past year, leaving its God’s Light so weak.
