Chapter 2102: Chapter 9: Heaven Patrol Divine Guard, Dual Cultivation Dream of Desire?

The two dragon horns protruding from the clouds were crystal clear, and upon closer inspection, many lines could be seen inside the horns, with a liquid like jade bead plate flowing across their surfaces.

When the dragon horns appeared, Bai Lanjun, Hu Qing, and Yan Yun trembled slightly.

As the dragon’s head emerged, they were pressed to their knees by the overwhelming force of the Dao.

Zhao Xing and Fu Mengzhen, however, could withstand it, remaining stationary in their original spots.

The dragon head was about a hundred meters high, with hollow eye sockets, each containing a human figure. The left eye space emitted a firefly-like glow, which upon closer observation, was a miniature spherical array, akin to a star in operation.

The right eye space emitted a faint blue light. Apart from the difference in color, its structure was identical to that of the left eye.

"A mechanism dragon?"

Zhao Xing had initially expected a real dragon to appear, but instead, it was a mechanism dragon, and not even a whole one, just the skull.

"Your Majesty, this is the Heaven Patrol Divine Guard of Yu Shen Country." Perhaps something struck a chord with her, as Fu Mengzhen suddenly reverted to her previous demeanor, no longer jumping around.

"Could Yu God be the God of Mechanism?" Zhao Xing couldn’t help but wonder.

"I am unsure." Fu Mengzhen shook her head, "Yu God has never publicly shared his Dao, let alone given any teachings."

Recalling how Wei Tianchen was captured by Dan Ye Zizai God for displaying the Dao Heart Mist God Medicine, Zhao Xing realized that showcasing one’s Dao in the No-Tribulation White Bone Divine Domain might not be wise unless absolute safety could be assured.

"Yu Shen Mo Yuan has already reached the God Realm, and in the No-Tribulation White Bone Divine Domain, being able to create his own Dao yet keeps it secret. He truly is cautious." Zhao Xing pondered.

"But I don’t have to worry about such dangers for now. Only when one reaches the status of a demigod would they seek the Path to Godhood."

"Usually, weaker demigods haven’t even found their own Dao."

Thinking of Venerable Bamboo Sword, who hadn’t found his Path to Godhood before coming to the Xuanhuang Realm to pursue a Divine Sword by accepting the Shadow Temple’s bounty.

After arriving in the Xuanhuang Realm and entering the Five Tribulations White Bone Divine Domain, his True Spirit Realm improved, but he still remained bewildered about becoming a god.

Bo Wei was even more exaggerative, having undergone eighteen tribulations before finding his Dao!

"Strong demigods, especially those walking the Heaven and Earth Dao path, are the ones targeted by others."

While pondering, the dragon skull gradually drew near, finally halting at a safe distance, emitting a red and blue dangerous aura.

The figures sitting inside the eye sockets remained silent, constantly glowing, seemingly undergoing some kind of identification process.

Under Zhao Xing’s direction, Fu Mengzhen stated her identity and intentions: "First-rank Fire Seed Ring holder Fu Mengzhen, greetings to the Heaven Patrol Divine Guard. We wish to reside in Yu Shen Country."

Fu Mengzhen was a thirteenth-rank demigod, and as long as she didn’t encounter someone from the God Realm, she was considered a strong presence in the Bone Yin Realm.

Strong individuals are respected wherever they go, and she also possessed a First-rank Fire Seed Ring. Following a light hum, Zhao Xing sensed that the mechanism dragon skull had significantly lowered its alert level.

"Heaven Patrol Divine Guard Yi Qing, this is the mechanical puppet I control." Two figures inside the dragon skull spoke simultaneously.

"Your Majesty, this person can control powerful puppets and magic artifacts, which suggests he too is a demigod." Fu Mengzhen relayed secretly.

"An expert in the Puppet Stream and Daoist Soldier Sect, the mechanical demigod hides far behind, yet can continuously dispatch formidable mechanical puppets; a formidable figure, whose true form I cannot locate."

Zhao Xing slightly nodded, also recognizing this not through any panel but via the Eight Directions Divine Realm left by Wei Tianchen.

The Eight Directions Divine Realm even displayed fragmented ’future scenes’, revealing what Yi Qing’s true form looked like.

Though Old Wei had passed, his divine object continued to serve its purpose. With this legacy, Zhao Xing saw no immediate need to implant Xue Rui Fortune God’s scapula.

"Does Fellow Daoist Fu plan for temporary or permanent residence in Yu Shen Country?" Yi Qing soon asked. "Interested in Yu Shen Cave Heaven?"

"Just a temporary stay."

"For temporary residence, you only need to pay the corresponding set of advancement materials." Yi Qing explained.

Reluctantly, Fu Mengzhen handed over all the necessary materials.

Yi Qing then led them flying.

On the way, Fu Mengzhen grumbled to Zhao Xing, "Your Majesty, the rules have changed from before. Previously, entering Yu Shen Country required only half a set of advancement materials, now it’s a full set... I presume the rules for Mo Yuan City have also changed."

"What are the rules for Mo Yuan City?" Zhao Xing inquired.

"To avoid Dan Ye Zizai God’s pursuit, it’d be safer to stay in a town near Yu Shen Cave Heaven."

"Yu Shen Cave Heaven’s interior is even safer, but it isn’t open to outsiders, typically only accessible by invitation."

"Previously, Mo Yuan City only required soul crystals, bone spirit stones, or bone body treasures for a stay, but just now, Yi Qing mentioned that for an extended stay in Mo Yuan City, a Dao Stone must be provided."

Leave behind a Dao Stone? Zhao Xing’s brow moved.

A Dao Stone is a vessel for storing Secret Techniques and comprehensions of the Dao Origin.

If Fu Mengzhen wished to bring Zhao Xing, Hu Qing, Yan Yun, and Bai Lanjun to reside in Mo Yuan City, she would have to leave behind one of her learned Secret Techniques and the corresponding insights into the Great Dao. Zhao Xing couldn’t help but feel that this rule had some ulterior motive.

However, Fu Mengzhen had mentioned that the Moon God Continent enforced the same rule.

Yu God had merely instated this regulation later, with relatively lower demands.
