Chapter 966: Chapter 479: Slaying the Main God Candle Dragon

Ancient Land of Blue Star.

In the midst of a vast expanse of wilderness, Lu Ran’s figure slowly materialized.

This time, Infinite City had not assigned him any special identity; he would be free to move around the Ancient Blue Star.

After arriving here, Lu Ran started to walk slowly, first taking in the flowers and grass around him, then summoning the Dark Crow.

This main quest was to see if he could find the Core of Blue Star, and the sub-quest was to try and conquer the Candle Dragon.

To tack on, there was also the enhancement of the Xuan Turtle’s strength.

"Dark Crow."

Without Lu Ran having to say it, Dark Crow already knew what the mission was.

After taking flight, Dark Crow circled in the sky, automatically absorbing the strength of countless War Soldiers, and began predicting positions, chattering away.

"Secret Realm, oh Secret Realm, tell me, where is the core of this star?"

The reason why Lu Ran had cultivated Dark Crow to the Upper Legend beforehand was because of its prophecy ability, which could be key in finding the Star Core.

Pop—

The force of prophecy, boosted by Word Spirit, immediately activated.

The next instant,

Lu Ran and Dark Crow felt as if the stars had shifted before their eyes, as if they had entered some kind of domain, where everything around them was pitch black.

In the dark land beneath them, there were pins after pins, each hole in the pins oozing a faint glow.

The strands of dim light, representing countless locations, soared in the sky as Dark Crow searched among the myriad of holes for that unique light of the target.

This process was extremely difficult, for the Star Core they were searching for was considered a Super Divine Level resource, on par with Main God Level, making Dark Crow’s prophecy akin to predicting beyond its level.

Even if they could predict it eventually, they probably wouldn’t get any complete information, and this process would require a lot of time and energy.

"Accelerate," Lu Ran said lightly, ripples of time appearing around him as he used the Time Acceleration Beast Training Technique to aid Dark Crow’s predictive speed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

With Lu Ran’s support, Dark Crow’s gaze sped across the holes more and more quickly.

After an unknown amount of time, a particularly dazzling hole’s light caught Dark Crow’s eye, locked on, and with a loud crow, the other shaped figures in the world of prophecy began to fade away!

"We found it!!!"

In place of the darkness, the space lit up like a movie screen, new illuminations appearing and revealing the target.

"What is this?"

As the new specific image emerged, both Lu Ran and Dark Crow were slightly stunned, because the direction indicated by the future prediction was a giant tree.

It reached high into the clouds, with a canopy so dense it blotted out the sun, and its bark was full of the marks of years, with deep grooves which seemed to tell ancient stories.

Around the trunk, there was a ring of mysterious halos, as if they were its protective shield. These halos would brighten and dim at times, gently swaying with the wind.

Seeing it, Lu Ran felt as if he was beholding another Divine Tree, as if witnessing the passage of time and the changes of history... Could this be...

"Jianmu, perhaps?" Lu Ran quickly recalled a Divine Tree of Blue Star that was recorded in the later "Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Jianmu!

This prediction exhausted Dark Crow, leaving it panting for breath, and Lu Ran was not much better off, but it was still a rewarding discovery.

The location of the Core of Blue Star was suspected to be related to Jianmu!

It was rumored that Jianmu was a bridge connecting heaven, earth, humans, and gods, like a ladder that allowed one to travel between the mortal world and heaven.

The problem was, they didn’t know where Jianmu was.

Using Yun Bao to fly around the Blue Star at high speed, they at least didn’t find Jianmu on the "surface" of the Blue Star, suggesting that Jianmu might be in some deep layer of Different Space Secret Realm.

In the process, Lu Ran and his companions also casually harvested the hearts, livers, and stomachs of old acquaintances like Taotie and also inquired from these Divine Beasts who surrendered willingly, but unfortunately, these native Divine Beasts did not know where Jianmu was.

"Do we wait for Dark Crow to catch its breath before we predict again where Jianmu is?"

"Otherwise, we find a more powerful Divine Beast with seemingly more knowledge to ask."

In the end, Lu Ran chose first to hook up with the Candle Dragon, and there was a good reason for this approach.

If Lu Ran and his companions found the Core of Blue Star before doing so, and the ill-tempered Candle Dragon ended up eliminating them, all the resources collected would have been in vain.

Subsequently, Lu Ran and his companions began their journey to the mountains where the Candle Dragon resided.

On Lu Ran’s first visit to the Ancient Blue Star Secret Realm, he had been fixated on the Candle Dragon.

However, at that time, confronting Zhu Yan of the Middle Legend had been quite difficult for Lu Ran and his companions, requiring the assistance of Affiliations; the idea of approaching the Candle Dragon, which was at least an Upper Legend, was too risky.

But this time, having suppressed an Upper Legend, Lu Ran descended again, but unfortunately, Infinite City proclaimed that Candle Dragon’s strength was at the Main God level, surpassing God Level.

This meant that they were still not qualified to communicate with the Candle Dragon on an equal footing.

Yet even so, Lu Ran was quite happy.

After all, if he could foist a contract on Candle Dragon in exchange for its revival, then it would be like gaining a Main God Level combatant.

That would be a lot more thrilling than any Upper Legend.

"Yun Bao, accelerate," Lu Ran thought anxiously, eager to proceed.

Lu Ran rode Yun Bao in a mad dash.

He looked ahead at the boundless blue sky coming into view, constantly weaving through the thick clouds.

Before, Lu Ran had planned to exchange his cloud mount for a space pet, but since Yun Bao had risen in Species Level, devouring the Heart of the Wind God and combined with Time Acceleration, its flight speed had also increased, making it no less efficient than the space attribute’s teleportation.

It could still be useful for a while longer.
