Chapter 4143: Dragon egg?
Ling Han couldn’t help but feel gloomy. He had already been allowed to come here, but why couldn’t he be allowed to harvest the Great Herb?
This Heavenly Dragon Tree bore seven fruits, and they were all ripe, exuding an intoxicating fragrance. There were multiple seals on their surface, representing the highest level of
Regulations.
Initially, this was Saint-level, but under the influence of the aura of the True Dragon, it possessed Emperor-level veined patterns.
These were Emperor-level celestial fruits! They could be seen from afar, yet they couldn’t be harvested. This was truly infuriating.
Ling Han smelt the fruity fragrance. The Great Herb truly lived up to its name. Even a mere sniff was enough to make all the pores on his body open up, as if a mysterious energy was surging into his body, causing him to undergo a complete transformation.
This effect was very similar to the Dragon Essence, but the effects far surpa.s.sed that. After all, the Dragon Essence was only the breath of the True Dragon, while the Heavenly Dragon Tree had been nurtured and grown by the True Dragon.
Ling Han wasn’t willing to leave. He simply stood there to absorb the scent of the Heavenly Dragon Fruit. He could clearly feel that his body had changed. His physical power and physique had both improved considerably.
However, by the third day, there was no further improvement when he smelled the fruity fragrance again.
After all, it was only fruity fragrance, so its effects were limited.
Ling Han sighed, and could only continue onwards.
He entered into the True Dragon’s Cave. The True Dragon had sent off everyone else, leaving him alone. It was definitely not for him to smell the fruity fragrance to play around with him. What was hidden in this cave?
Ling Han was extremely careful as he slowly advanced.
Inside the cave, treasures were scattered all over the ground.
Precious Divine Metal could be seen everywhere, and even Seven Star-level ones were not rare, but there was no Saintly Material or Origin Gold. Material of this level was really too rare, especially Origin Gold. Even a Great Emperor would have to take a certain risk to be able to obtain it. After all, there were some places in the world that even a Great Emperor would consider a danger zone.
There was no Great Emperor killing formation here. Ling Han picked up a few pieces of Seven Star Divine Metal.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to pick up a few more pieces, but rather that he discovered that the Spatial Tool had lost its effect.
The stingy True Dragon, he could only smell the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, and he could not pick up these precious materials as he liked.
Sigh, how many years has it been since your death? What is the point of having so many things?
As Ling Han mocked, he continued to walk deeper into the cave.
This cave was really huge, and there were no winding pa.s.sages. The entire mountainside had been hollowed out, and it was completely empty.
The True Dragon seemed to be very interested in collecting Divine Metal. There were Divine Metal above Five Stars everywhere in this place, many of them. They were all colourful, and all of them were exuding brilliant light. However, some of them had already decayed.
It was said that even Saint-level materials could not match the power of time, and only the Origin Gold could exist eternally. Thus, it would not be strange even if the Seven Star Divine Metal had decayed.
Ling Han became numb after staring at it for a while. He withdrew his gaze, and focused on walking forwards.
After a while, he finally arrived at the end of the cave.
Compared to the extravagance of other places, this place could only be described as filthy and disorderly, because the other places were all filled with s.h.i.+mmering Divine Metal, all colourful and bright, but this place was a nest made of tree branches, and most of it had already rotted.
However, Ling Han didn’t underestimate these broken branches at all. In fact, he even revealed a pained expression.
This was a top grade mother tree, which had been severed by a profligate True Dragon, and made into a habitat!
Why was this the same as Pseudo-Emperor Doga? Could it be that anyone with the word Emperor in their t.i.tle simply loved cutting down mother trees?
Ling Han mocked. There were only a few top grade mother trees in the world, and even the Imperial Clans may not all possess them, but here, the True Dragon had severed the mother tree and made it into a bed. Just how extravagant was that?
You are awesome.
He surveyed the surroundings. This bed of the True Dragon was incredibly colossal, measuring about thirty meters in diameter. It was circular in shape, and Ling Han believed that this shouldn’t be the True Dragon’s true size. According to legends, these Divine Beasts were all larger than planets.
Why did he only make such a small bed?
That was simple. To build a bed that was larger than a planet… did he have so many mother trees that he could squander?
Thus, even the True Dragon could only make do with it, and create such a “small bed”. He channelled the mystical power and made his body smaller, so he could still lie down.
Ling Han looked towards the bed of the True Dragon, and saw that it was not empty, but rather an egg was placed there.
However, there seemed to be a layer of something like amber condensed on the outside of this egg, which wrapped around the whole egg. It was very all-encompa.s.sing, with no spots
missed.
Ling Han immediately had an instinctive feeling. This was the most precious item of the True Dragon’s Secret Cave. Putting everything else aside, being laid on the bed of the True Dragon
was enough to explain everything.
Was it delicious? Very nutritious?
Ling Han thought internally. However, this egg had experienced who knew how much time. Since it had been left behind by the True Dragon, it could be traced back to the time when the heaven and earth first created, and was as ancient as could be.
You see, even the Divine Metal had decayed, so could this egg still be eaten?
The shelf life shouldn’t be that long, right?
Ling Han looked at this True Dragon’s bed again. The remaining wood that had not rotted were all branches from the mother tree, and every single one of them was incredibly precious. Combined together, they could completely be made into a bed that was suitable for him.
Right at this moment, a ray of light flashed past, and landed on that egg.
It was light again!
Ling Han mocked. What changes would there be this time?
He looked, and saw that the layer that had wrapped around the egg was actually slowly melting, but it was not turning into liquid. Instead, it had directly turned into gas, which naturally blended with the heaven and earth, and very soon, disappeared completely. In this way, this egg was completely displayed in front of Ling Han. Previously, with this amber-like object blocking it, Ling Han could not see clearly. He only knew that this was an egg, but now, he could finally see clearly. The surface of the egg was covered with green veined patterns, exuding an incredibly ancient aura.
In fact, Ling Han even felt a sliver of life fluctuation.
Yi, this egg was still alive?
Ling Han couldn’t help but feel shocked. This was really a joke. How many years had it been?
Even the Divine Metal had mostly rotted, and in this period of time, who knew how many Ancestral Kings had experienced the rise and fall of power, but this egg was actually still
alive?
How could he believe this?
However, Ling Han trusted his instincts. This egg was definitely exuding the fluctuations of
life, and there was nothing false about it.
Ka, a crisp sound rang out, which seemed to be ear-piercing in this quiet s.p.a.ce.
No way?
Ka, ka, ka, ka! A series of crisp sounds rang out.
Ling Han couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock. He looked at the egg in front of him, and
there were already multiple cracks on it.
The life inside the egg was about to hatch.
This was too fast, wasn’t it?
What was inside?
It can’t be… the descendant of the True Dragon, right?
Ling Han suddenly recalled that there was an egg in the True Dragon’s nest, and it was very
likely that it was a dragon egg.
Would a small dragon hatch from within?
Going by the age, it was very likely that this was the son or daughter of the True Dragon, and that was the Imperial Son and Imperial Daughter in the true meaning of the word.
If that was really the case, Ling Han couldn’t help but feel curious. Compared to the Golden Generation, who would be stronger?
Ka, ka, ka! Just as he was lost in thought, the veined patterns on the egg increased further, and with a pa, it shattered.
