Chapter 584: Chapter 509 Dragon Egg

It’s definitely a dragon egg, or rather, a dragon tortoise egg!

Wang Zijia knew it, as long as he was not a fool, this was his tortoise!

He was just about to float down onto the island to retrieve the dragon tortoise’s egg.

"Bam!"

But as soon as he came to the edge of the island, an invisible yet palpable boundary wall appeared in front of Wang Zijia, and he collided head-on into it.

It wasn’t that the mother dragon tortoise had set up some kind of protection, but his own movement range was limited!!!

[Using the power of Time Debt to travel through space-time, you may only move within the range of the Time Debt’s magnetic field. If you exceed this range, you must use your own strength to break free. You may continue to act only by crossing space-time on your own.]

Wang Zijia was stunned.

Uh...

Is this... a map limitation?

So even as he traveled back to ancient times, he still had a movement range limit?

Could he only move within the range of the Time Debt’s magnetic field?

What exactly was the range?

Was it within the boundary of Changbao’s enclave in the future?

Or something else?

He didn’t notice last time, and didn’t have a chance to find out!

Damn it, why is it just outside the range? If you were ten more miles, no, five more miles is enough!

Looking at the dragon tortoise egg standing silently in the center of the island not far away, billions of mud horses galloped and howled in Wang Zijia’s mind.

As an experimental attempt, he used spell to form a crystal puppet, which managed to pass through the invisible boundary wall.

But as soon as the puppet crossed over, it immediately disintegrated, returning to a pile of mud.

The mana belonging to Wang Zijia disintegrated into nothingness.

Defying common sense, Wang Zijia threw out a human-skin paper figure.

The flesh-and-blood human skin paper figure, like his body, ran straight into the invisible boundary wall and was even bounced back.

Immediately after that, Wang Zijia tried to control the mud, dig holes, and so on.

As soon as the mana crossed the boundary, it immediately disintegrated and disappeared as if it never existed. Anything involving his flesh and blood simply couldn’t get out.

It was simply a limitation of the rules, there seemed to be no loophole!

...

After a while, Wang Zijia completely ran out of other methods.

Not having much time left, he didn’t waste any more time.

He transformed into a streaming light and quickly retraced his steps.

"Ninth Brother, how is it outside?!" As soon as Wang Zijia returned, Li Shengshi immediately asked with excitement.

He was quite afraid being alone in the pitch-black underground!

Sometimes, he worried that Wang Zijia might encounter some accident and leave him all alone.

Sometimes, he worried that Wang Zijia might abandon him, after all, brotherly love was a rarity in the imperial family. Even though they had always been on good terms before, he couldn’t help but have all kinds of wild thoughts.

It wasn’t until he saw Wang Zijia return that he relaxed.

Looking at Li Shengshi, Wang Zijia had to admit, everything was really meant to be.

If he hadn’t brought this guy along, he would probably not have gotten that egg.

And his sword immortal riding on a tortoise would probably have had a GG within three minutes of his appearance, just like at the Three Realms Temple the last time!

So, was protecting Li Shengshi his hidden mission for this task?

In his thoughts, Wang Zijia did not answer him, but came directly to him, grabbed him on his back, and rushed forward.

As a member of the imperial family, Li Shengshi matured early. With his precocious spiritual roots and the intrigue among the imperial family offspring, he witnessed too much too soon and experienced a lot. His mind was actually several levels more mature than other children his age.

The childish displays from before were merely moments when his instincts overwhelmed his reason due to the shock, causing him to lose his bearings.

Now, after calming down for a while alone underground, he had regained his composure.

Seeing Wang Zijia looking anxious, he realized something was happening. He immediately held onto Wang Zijia’s neck quietly and watched as Wang Zijia dashed off.

Just like before!

Even when the two of them emerged from the underground and saw the icy and snowy scenery of a frozen landscape, he only opened his mouth a little and didn’t say anything.

After a while, the two of them came to the center of the island, Wang Zijia pointed to the dragon tortoise egg in the center of the island and said, "Go, get that thing over here, I’m restricted by strange reasons and can’t go there!"

"Okay!" When Li Shengshi passed through the center of the battlefield earlier, he saw the mountain-like dragon tortoise’s corpse. Now, looking at the dragon’s egg, his eyes were already sparkling, and his face was somewhat flushed from the excitement.

"Be careful, it might look like it’s only a few meters in radius, but the dragon egg weighs a ton, and the dragon tortoise even more so. Your cultivation might be a bit precarious!" Wang Zijia warned.

"Okay, Little Seventeen knows!" With that said, Li Shengshi, who had been put on the ground, was already charging towards it with his spell.

Watching Li Shengshi exceed his own range of action without the slightest impact, Wang Zijia silently breathed a sigh of relief.

This boundary only restricted himself, which was a silver lining in his unfortunate situation!

Li Shengshi quickly came to the dragon tortoise’s egg under Wang Zijia’s anxious gaze, fist trying to push it, the tortoise egg only shuddered a little.

Just like an ant trying to push a mountain.

In the next moment, Li Shengshi’s mana surged, using all his strength during the Child Stage, he still couldn’t lift it, he could only barely push it.

Wang Zijia pondered for a moment and said, "Dig a hole, make a path!"

Li Shengshi was momentarily stunned, then it dawned on him.

The next moment, his small mouth moved slightly, and the fluctuation of mana said: "I declare: the rocks of mountains move!"

As expected, he walked the path of the royal Dao Consistency of Confucian Cultivator, a standard Dao of Incantation!

Following his words, the surrounding mud moved slowly, under the influence of mana. Although it was not as impressive as what Wang Zijia did.

But a slide appeared at the edge of the dragon egg pit.

The slide started from the edge of the tortoise egg nest and extended to the edge of the island where Wang Zijia stood.

As for the stones underneath the dragon egg - it turned out not to be possible any more. Wang Zijia recognized it at first glance — the nest stone where the dragon egg lied was also a top grade spiritual material.

That’s was why he was so frustrated before; it took him a lot of effort to move such a massive stone. If he was unable to move it, he could only watch.

He simply couldn’t move it all!

As Li Shengshi mustered all his strength, the dragon egg was gradually pushed out of the nest by him.

"Plop!"

The giant egg burst out from the nest, and rolled towards Wang Zijia along the inclined slide, collapsing countless things due to its immense weight.

But as it started rolling, there was no question of it sinking.

Li Shengshi’s face was flushed, and he chased after the egg excitedly.

Even at his young age, he understood what this represented, and the Li imperial family loved dragons and had a special fondness for dragon species.

In a moment, the dragon egg plowed a tunnel, and was about to fall into the lake, but it reached Wang Zijia just in time.

Wang Zijia gently stretched out his hand to catch it.

"Bang!"

The next moment, mana surged, the dragon egg disappeared, and a book page condensed from sealing appeared.

On the book page, a giant dragon egg was drawn.

Li Shengshi watched this scene with sparkling eyes and said excitedly, "Ninth Brother, the base under that nest seems to be the top material for refining tools of the sixth grade: the Extreme Cold Jade Heart of Ten Thousand Years!"

Wang Zijia shook his head, saying, "There’s no time left. I don’t have time to go past, let alone you. You could dig for a year and not move it. Let’s go, hurry!"

Li Shengshi’s face changed. He seemed a little unwilling.

Wang Zijia didn’t waste time arguing with him. He picked Li Shengshi up again and put him on his back. Li Shengshi immediately held onto Wang Zijia’s neck honestly, without saying more.

As Wang Zijia passed the mountain-like corpse of the dragon tortoise, he felt a pang in his heart looking at the dragon tortoise frozen in the iceberg.

’The exterior of a flying immortal in the later generations: the Seventh-grade Turtle Immortal Palace, must have originated from this!’

’Such a pity! If it was not frozen with the ground, the Five Ghosts could work together, using the Seal with the Method of Moving Mountain and Lifting Sedan to take away the turtle and the ice together. Now, I can only feel anxious!’

Wang Zijia, who didn’t know when someone would come, didn’t dare to delay and prepared to leave right away.

"Roar!"

The next moment, a dragon’s roar came out from the dead body of the dragon tortoise.

The paper floating around him trembled.

Wang Zijia’s face changed dramatically. He quickly suppressed the shaking paper and bowed respectfully to the turtle mountain, saying, "Senior, I swear I will take good care of your child."

"You’ve crossed the tribulation already. You must have reopened your spiritual wisdom and understand the fate this youngster will face if someone finds him. However, if he stays with me, I can guarantee I will treat him like my own."

"I will not enslave him or treat him like a beast of burden!"

As Wang Zijia spoke, the turtle mountaintop lit up with spiritual light.

The next moment, a gold dragon pearl the size of a dragon’s eye flew out and shot into the book page like a lightning bolt and disappeared.

The giant turtle mountain, which had lost its dragon pearl, seemed to have lost much of its charm despite remaining unchanged.

Wang Zijia estimated that the meat and blood of the dragon would likely have no effect now. Only the dragon tortoise shell would still be extraordinary!

Thoughts whirling, Wang Zijia quickly bowed to it and turned to leave without a delay.

He used the law of karma along the way to remove all traces of his presence, without leaving a shred of evidence.

Finally, he re-entered the cave where he broke out.

"Little one, I know you are conscious now. If you can use your hands, seal this cave for me. If you can restore it to its original state, it would be best!"

As Wang Zijia spoke, he touched the paper, and the dragon egg reappeared.

The dragon egg rocked slightly, and the dragon pearl flew out. As the cold light flashed, the hole that Wang Zijia had punctured slowly restored to its original state.

The entire scene of the Frozen Thousands of Miles was completely restored.

After casting the spell, the dragon pearl integrated back into the dragon egg and completely disappeared.

Wang Zijia didn’t try to take the dragon pearl. He immediately put away the dragon egg and began to backtrack, filling the cave along the way and making every effort to leave no traces.

Under normal circumstances, it would clearly not be easy to deceive a Great Cultivator of Crossing Tribulation. However, under the premise that the tribulation crossing cultivator was sacrificing his life to freeze thousands of miles, the traces under the ice layer should be very hard to detect.

Moreover, there was already a two-headed snake that had run away prematurely. It could easily be blamed for the disturbance. Not to mention that Wang Zijia’s current state was not normal at all.

Although he could only move within the Time Debt Field Range, while he was limited, he was also protected.

In his thoughts, Wang Zijia continued to retreat, and constantly dealt with the traces behind him.

Li Shengshi on his back was unusually quiet, holding onto Wang Zijia’s neck and watching earnestly.
