Chapter 613: Chapter 78 Little Golden Dragon [Seeking monthly passes!]_1

"Ah..."

Chu Liang clutched his head in pain, both physically and psychologically.

Physiological pain aside, the psychological damage was much worse. Who was this? How come every time he was having a good time with Jiangjiang, something unexpected would happen?

Either a home explosion or running into her dad, and now, a meteorite crashing into him from the sky. If the noise drew others’ attention... wait a moment?

He looked up abruptly, only to realize that something was not right.

He found himself in a dazzling palace, surrounded by resplendent golden and jade hues, seemingly constructed entirely of pure gold, with a scale-shaped pattern.

"Where is this?" He muttered puzzledly.

"This is the Golden Scale Palace." A childish voice echoed suddenly from behind him, sounding clear and merry. "It is my exclusive Mini Mysterious Realm. You are the first of the Human Clan to set foot here."

Chu Liang turned around and saw, to his surprise, a young boy in a yellow robe appearing behind him. His face was bright and adorable with faint golden scaled patterns on his skin. On his head were a pair of small horns, and a short tail swished behind him.

Clearly, he was a little dragonkin.

"Which dragon breed are you?" Chu Liang asked aloud.

He had encountered many real dragons and no longer respected the Dragon Race as he used to. After his long cultivations, his bloodline was purer than most dragonkin.

"Show some respect." The boy replied sternly, "I am a great Golden Dragon!"

"Little Golden Dragon?" Chu Liang asked.

"Don’t add ’little’ in front!" The boy puffed out his chest. "I am the supreme Golden Dragon!"

"Alright, Little Golden Dragon." Chu Liang nodded, then asked, "How did you get me in here, in this... Golden Scale Palace? Can you let me out quickly? I have urgent business."

"You can leave, but you have to listen to me first." The Little Golden Dragon insisted, "Otherwise, I will not let you go under any circumstances."

Chu Liang stared for a while, realizing that although the Little Dragonkin had no noticeable aura, he controlled this secret realm, which meant his cultivation must be above his own—most likely from the Seventh Realm.

If he wanted to leave, the boy really could stop him.

Therefore, he said: "Then just say it quickly."

"Cough, cough..." The Little Golden Dragon started, "I am the great Golden Dragon suppressing the Luck Suppression of Yu City in the Imperial City, but that despicable Yao Dengxian stole my Daoist Rite. I need someone to help."

"Alright." Chu Liang agreed immediately, "You’ve found the right person. The Emperor is my buddy, and I’m supposed to have dinner with him tomorrow. I can mention this incident then, and your problem will be solved. Now, just let me out, and I promise to help you tomorrow."

"No!" The Little Golden Dragon retorted. "Only you can solve this problem!"

"Huh?" Chu Liang looked puzzled. "Are you asking me to deal with a Tianyuan cultivator from the Eighth Realm?"

"Ah." The Little Golden Dragon sighed deeply, "It is a long story."

"Make it short!" Chu Liang urged ruthlessly.

Then he listened to the Little Golden Dragon’s life story and understood why he said so.

The original Five-clawed Gold Dragon of the Imperial City existed since the Dragon God era and was considered the oldest Dragon Race the Human Clan ever encountered.

However, nearly two centuries ago, its lifespan was coming to an end.

Although it, being an Eighth Realm, was close to the world’s peak power, it could not break through the Godly level nor have insight into life and death. At the end of its life, that ancient Golden Dragon decided to pass on everything it had.

It birthed a Dragon Egg containing a premium baby dragon who would be born at the Seventh Realm, as well as its secret treasures, True Yuan, Dragon Ball, and Daoist Rite...

As soon as the dragon baby is born and swallows its mother’s Dragon Ball, it will absorb the Daoist Rite that has been left to it. Following this, it can naturally inherit its mother’s way of the Daoist, and become a creature of the Eighth Realm straight from birth.

Starting from such a high base point, it is possible in the future to exceed its mother’s height.

While the Golden Dragon is helping the dynasty suppress its luck, it is also using the dynasty’s luck to cultivate itself. It passes this mission on to its offspring and leaves it in the Dragon Raising Pond.

In a way, this dragon egg is the continuation of the Golden Dragon’s life.

The day the Golden Dragon dies is the day the dragon egg hatches.

However, at this time, the newly appointed Dragon Feeding Supervisor, Yao Dengxian, appears. This ambitious eunuch, manages to snatch the Golden Dragon’s legacy.

The Dragon Race also needs to comprehend the Daoist to ascend to the Eighth Realm, and while some Daoists have a preference for Dragonkin, intelligent humans are not incapable of understanding it.

At the moment of the Golden Dragon’s death and the Little Golden Dragon’s hatching, there is only a split second where it is the most vulnerable.

However, Yao Dengxian suddenly appears at this moment, snatching away the Daoist Rite of the world. Initially being at the peak of the Seventh Realm, he usurped the Siyun Avenue from the Golden Dragon.

Yao Dengxian then becomes the Daoist Master Siyun.

From then on, he becomes a cultivator of the Eighth Realm, soaring to greater heights. He also suppressed the Golden Dragon’s Dragon Ball, preventing the Little Golden Dragon from consuming it and fully inheriting the mother’s power. And the Little Golden Dragon itself, is locked in Dragon Raising Pond, continuing to suppress the luck for the Yu Dynasty.

Poor little Golden Dragon had to grow up in Dragon Raising Pond until now.

Today, someone suddenly brought an unidentified power, shattering Yao Dengxian’s restriction, allowing the Little Golden Dragon to promptly escape.

But it couldn’t just leave, because it needed to retrieve the Dragon Ball that was left by its mother.

"Hold on..." said Chu Liang, "What does any of this have to do with why you’re looking for me?"

"Because nobody else can help me, and you’re the person with the strongest Dragon Race aura around Yu Capital City," Little Golden Dragon explained, "I thought you were my clansman, so I sought you."

"I’m willing to help you, but I’m underpowered. That’s why I wanted to expose Yao Dengxian’s shameful act to the Imperial Family," Chu Liang said.

"They all know!" The Little Golden Dragon frowned deeply, angrily saying, "They’re all in it together! Otherwise, there’s no way I could have been locked up so long without anyone noticing."

After listening to this, Chu Liang thought briefly and it all began to make sense.

The Imperial Court needs a Golden Dragon to suppress Luck, and they need a cultivator of the Eighth Realm to protect the Imperial City.

But now, nothing has changed.

Moreover, to the Imperial Court, the Golden Dragon isn’t completely loyal. If the dynasty becomes immoral and loses its luck, the Golden Dragon would immediately abandon it without any hesitation.

Yao Dengxian probably reached some sort of agreement with the Imperial Court, offering his services and likely agreeing to pass on the Siyun Avenue to the Imperial Court after his death.

Given this, the Emperor would not risk offending a cultivator of the Eighth Realm for the sake of a Golden Dragon that is still suppressing luck.

Furthermore, the relationship between this cultivator and the Imperial Family is likely even closer than the one they have with the Golden Dragon.

Having thought of this, Chu Liang spread his hands, "Although I sympathize with your predicament, I really am unable to help."

"Hmph, you are not truly noble Dragonkin after all." Little Golden Dragon snorted, "I promise you, if you’re willing to help me retrieve the Dragon Ball, I can give you a huge reward."

"Hmm?" Chu Liang perked up at hearing this, "Even though I’m unable to help, I can still listen to what the reward might be."

"As long as you help me retrieve the Dragon Ball, you’ll receive..." Little Golden Dragon emphasized, "My friendship!"

"I don’t believe this goddamn palace has no doors or windows." Chu Liang stood up and started rolling his sleeves, "Just watch me break a hole in your mini mysterious realm."
