Chapter 759 - 758: Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye! The Frost Bone Dragon’s Dragon Egg

Gu Yuexi walked up to the Tai Chi Spiritual Spring.

With a light tap of her toes, she gracefully landed on the rim of the spring and looked down.

The Spiritual Spring was split into two colors, red and blue. The waters of each color occupied half of the spring, forming a clear dividing line down the center.

The water’s surface flowed slowly, swirling into a perfect Tai Chi symbol.

From a distance, it looked as if a Tai Chi Grandmaster was leisurely practicing Tai Chi at the bottom of the spring.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye!"

Gu Yuexi said, a hint of surprise in her voice.

She had seen this kind of natural wonder in Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s memories and never expected to encounter one here.

Chu Sheng paused for a moment, then blurted out instinctively.

"Does this thing speed up the growth of Spiritual Plants?"

Gu Yuexi shook her head.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye absorbs the Yin-Yang Essence from deep within the earth."

"Its primary function is to protect and nurture life, as well as nourish the Divine Soul and physical body."

"It does have some effect on the growth of Spiritual Plants, but it’s minuscule."

"Good."

Chu Sheng muttered, breathing a sigh of relief.

’It didn’t want some third wheel showing up out of nowhere to cause trouble.’

Gu Yuexi didn’t understand what Chu Sheng meant by that.

She didn’t press the issue, instead pointing to the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and continuing.

"Look closely. There’s an egg at the very bottom of the spring."

"The reason this place is so barren, without a single living creature,"

"is because the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye has drained all the surrounding Life Breath to protect and incubate this egg."

"But from the markings, I can’t tell what Race this egg belongs to."

Chu Sheng nodded, its expression unsurprised.

It had already seen the giant egg at the bottom of the spring, an egg taller than a person.

In fact, it had already guessed the egg’s origin.

Sure enough.

The Frost Bone Dragon, which was recuperating in Ziwei Palace, suddenly spoke in an agitated voice.

"M-Master, that’s my child! That’s my Dragon Egg!"

Chu Sheng had anticipated this and wasn’t surprised in the least.

’Both were Guardian Beasts revived when the Land of Burial opened. The Hell Three-headed Dog from the Blazing Passage had been in no hurry, toying with the Cultivators who entered the Secret Realm for its own amusement. But the Frost Bone Dragon from the Cold Ice Passage... had been desperate to kill all intruders immediately, with no hesitation whatsoever. Even after it had kicked the dragon away, the dragon’s first reaction wasn’t to seek revenge, but to try and let it leave. That wasn’t how a member of the proud Dragon Race should behave. The Dragon Race was notoriously arrogant. For one of them to be struck by a mosquito and not fight to the death was bizarre. That was why Chu Sheng had guessed... that the Frost Bone Dragon had something urgent to attend to—something far more important than saving face. Connecting that to the giant egg in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, the answer became obvious.’

The Frost Bone Dragon’s words had just confirmed its suspicions.

"Attach a wisp of your Divine Soul to this bone fragment, and I’ll bring you out to speak."

Chu Sheng said, pointing to a palm-sized fragment of the Frost Bone Dragon’s bones.

The Frost Bone Dragon didn’t dare hesitate. It immediately separated a faint wisp of its Soul Fire and sent it into the Dragon Bone fragment.

The next moment, with a mere thought from Chu Sheng, the Dragon Bone fragment carrying the Frost Bone Dragon’s Divine Soul was summoned from Ziwei Palace, and it floated in mid-air.

It nudged the Dragon Bone fragment closer to Gu Yuexi.

"The egg in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye is this bone’s child."

Gu Yuexi glanced down at the giant Dragon Egg in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, which was taller than a person.

Then she looked at the palm-sized bone fragment floating in front of Chu Sheng.

Her face was filled with confusion.

"Bones can lay eggs???"

"That’s a rather abstract question!"

Chu Sheng rolled its compound eyes and explained.

"A wisp of the Divine Soul from that Evil Dragon from a hundred thousand years ago is attached to this bone."

"The Dragon Egg was conceived when she was still alive."

"It wasn’t laid by the bone."

Chu Sheng then briefly explained the Frost Bone Dragon’s situation to Gu Yuexi.

Gu Yuexi’s eyes widened in understanding.

As she looked at the giant egg in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye once more,

a fiery light couldn’t help but appear in her perpetually icy eyes.

That was a real Dragon Egg!

Not some western Lizard Subspecies.

Not an imposter like Orochi.

And certainly not the kind of Flood Dragon Subspecies the City Lord rode.

It was a true Eastern Divine Dragon, an orthodox descendant of the strongest Race on earth!

Even Immortal Venerable Shi Xi, who had once reached the apex of the Immortal Realm, had never possessed a mount with a true Dragon Race Bloodline.

The Dragon Race was too powerful and far too proud.

They were born noble and would never allow themselves to serve beneath another.

To become a mount or a Beast Pet was a matter of supreme humiliation for the Dragon Race.

If someone were to use violence to forcibly enslave a young dragon,

more powerful members of the Dragon Race would immediately come knocking.

They would annihilate the offender’s entire clan and sect to demonstrate the price of offending the Dragon Race.

It wasn’t as if no one in history had tried.

Without exception, they all met the same fate: the complete annihilation of their Divine Soul.

If Gu Yuexi were to form a contract with this Dragon Egg now,

the moment it hatched would be the moment a powerful expert from the Dragon Race arrived at her door.

Even though this Dragon Egg’s mother had been excommunicated and exiled from the Dragon Race,

the Dragon Race would never permit a pure Dragon Bloodline to become a human’s mount.

It was a matter of honor for the entire Dragon Race.

Gu Yuexi did not fear the Dragon Race.

But she didn’t want the endless trouble of being hunted by them for no reason.

It wasn’t worth disrupting the rhythm of her Cultivation over a single Dragon Egg; the gains didn’t justify the losses.

At this thought, the fiery light in her eyes slowly faded, and her gaze returned to its usual calm.

"What do you want to do with it?"

Gu Yuexi turned to look at Chu Sheng on her shoulder.

Chu Sheng’s thoughts were similar to Gu Yuexi’s.

’Being constantly hunted by the Dragon Race would indeed be a huge hassle.’

After a moment of contemplation, it came up with the simplest, most direct solution.

"Absorb all of the Dragon Egg’s essence."

"It should be more than enough to help you break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm."

’This way, they wouldn’t be hunted by the Dragon Race, they wouldn’t waste a precious resource like the Dragon Egg, and it would genuinely boost Gu Yuexi’s power. It was the perfect solution!’

Before Gu Yuexi could answer,

the Dragon Bone fragment floating in mid-air began to tremble violently.

"Master, don’t! Please, don’t!!!"

Its voice was frantic and held back a sob.

"That’s my child! I’m begging you, Master, please spare it!"

"Whatever you want, I can give it to you!"

"My Dragon Bones, my Dragon Crystal, my hidden treasures, and all the secrets I know—you can have them all!"

"As long as you don’t kill my child, I’ll do anything you ask."

"I’ll be your beast of burden, I’ll go through fire and water for you!"

"I’m begging you, Master..."

The Frost Bone Dragon pleaded incoherently.

Its Soul Fire flickered wildly within the Dragon Bone, a clear sign of its desperation.

But its pleas

did not move Chu Sheng or Gu Yuexi in the slightest.

Chu Sheng’s tone was flat, devoid of any emotion.

"You are Lord Mosquito’s mount. Everything you have already belongs to Lord Mosquito, including your life."

"You are in no position to bargain with Lord Mosquito."

"Furthermore, Lord Mosquito discovered this Dragon Egg, so it is Lord Mosquito’s prize."

"Lord Mosquito will handle it however Lord Mosquito wishes. It’s not your place to interfere."

As it spoke, it extended a foreleg,

preparing to recall the Dragon Bone, along with the Frost Bone Dragon’s Divine Soul, back into Ziwei Palace.

"Master, wait!"

the Frost Bone Dragon hastily called out to Chu Sheng.

"Please, let me finish what I have to say!"
