Chapter 1016: Naming the Dragon Maiden
No matter how the mysterious unique tree struggled, it could not escape the grasp of the emerald light. In the end, it gradually became smaller. When it was only the size of a palm, it suddenly became a beam of flowing light. It instantly burrowed into Mo Wen’s forehead and disappeared.
Huh? What was going on?
Mo Wen was slightly stunned. The mysterious unique tree actually burrowed into his head. Was this a joke? His head was not somebody else’s house. Why were things always burrowing into it?
Mo Wen immediately dove into his declarative memory. In his vast declarative memory, the bizarre ancient tree had appeared, as expected. The ancient tree emanated rainbow color light. It seemed to have taken root in his declarative memory, treating it as its home.
Aside from that, the outer layer of the unique tree was enveloped in a sparkling tree-shaped spiritual aura. The spiritual aura was like an illusion, enclosing the mysterious ancient tree within it.
A Spirit Tree!
Mo Wen recognized it at a glance. That was his Spirit Tree. In reality, he had not failed to coalesce his Spirit Tree; he had succeeded long ago.
However, right now, no matter which angle he looked, it seemed that the mysterious ancient tree was imprisoned in his body by his Spirit Tree. From a distance, they appeared to be two layers of trees — one on the outside and one on the inside.
“A Heavenly Treasure Miraculous Tree!”
A name naturally appeared in Mo Wen’s mind. The Heavenly Treasure Miraculous Tree was the name of the mysterious ancient tree. However, aside from the name of the unique tree, he did not know anything else.
He emerged from his declarative memory. The ocean floor had already become completely calm. The Heavenly Treasure Miraculous Tree was absorbed into Mo Wen’s declarative memory. Hence, the Spiritual Transforming Stones on the ground immediately became ownerless items.
Grab! Grab! Grab!
How could Mo Wen be polite at a time like this? He excitedly kept all the Spiritual Transforming Stones into the medicine spiritual ring. Inside the medicine spiritual ring, the Spiritual Transforming Stones piled up till they formed a small mountain. He could not imagine how ma.s.sive the amount of wealth this was. Most likely, in the Ancient Age, this amount of Spiritual Transforming Stones could cause anyone to go crazy.
“Why didn’t the Heaven and Earth trigram also absorb the spiritual flowers and other spiritual plants?”
After having tasted the sweetness of attaining spoils, Mo Wen’s heart began to itch. He did not dare to pluck those spiritual items. However, the Heaven and Earth trigram could! All those items were treasures; any stalk of Spiritual Essence in the outside world would make people go mad.
Unfortunately, after the Heaven and Earth trigram absorbed the Heavenly Treasure Miraculous Tree, it did not respond to anything else. Mo Wen could only sigh. It might be that the Heaven and Earth trigram did not consider the other items worthy to be kept. However, for Mo Wen, the items that the Heaven and Earth trigram looked down upon were the ones that had value. As for the Heavenly Treasure Miraculous Tree, it might be more precious, but Mo Wen did not even know what it was. Even after obtaining it, he could only stare at it.
Just as Mo Wen was prepared to continue strolling around to see whether there were any other spoils, a beam of purple light suddenly flew over from afar and appeared before Mo Wen in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, purple light enveloped Mo Wen and he once again disappeared from his original spot.
The Purple Bottle Gourd. The beam of purple light was the Purple Bottle Gourd that had disappeared prior to this.
The purple light enveloped Mo Wen and traversed the ocean floor at a rather astonis.h.i.+ng speed. Unbeknownst for how long — it might have been an instant, or it might have been a century — a palace hall appeared before Mo Wen’s eyes. The palace hall was rather huge. It was situated on the ocean floor and was solemn and majestic.
The Purple Bottle Gourd brought Mo Wen before the main entrance of the palace hall and stopped for a while. Mo Wen felt that a beam of light had suddenly shot out from the palace hall and shone on him. His forehead heated up and an ancient rune gradually appeared. It was the rune formed from the nine creation talismans.
At the same time, the Purple Bottle Gourd emanated a beam of purple light and shone it on the palace hall.
The next moment, the main entrance of the ancient palace hall gradually opened. Mo Wen’s silhouette also disappeared from the palace hall.
At the surface of the ocean, the Ink Scaled King and the Jade Xiu King sat cross-legged and patiently waited for Mo Wen to return. The Divine Dragon young maiden also did not say anything and waited calmly.
In reality, they could have left a long time ago, but all of them had not done so.
Usually, those that entered the Creation Pool could only stay for three months. After that, they would automatically be ejected from the place. The reason they had been able to remain in the Creation Pool for more than a year was thanks to the Junior Master’s PaG.o.da. The Junior Master’s PaG.o.da was the symbol of the Creation Sect junior master. He would naturally be taken special care of by the Creation Pool. However, as time went on, even he would be “invited” by the Creation Pool to leave. Since ancient times, aside from creation spiritual beasts, no living creature could stay within the Creation Pool for a long time. Before this, even the Creation Sect leader could not do so.
While waiting for Mo Wen, the Ink Scaled King and the Jade Xiu King did not sit around idly. They killed quite a few creation spiritual beasts. Every body part of the creation spiritual beasts in the Creation Pool was a treasure to the kings. They could reap huge benefits by hunting them.
However, they killed only about ten beasts. They knew their limits and did not kill too many of the animals. Since these beasts were spiritual beings nurtured by the Creation Pool, the pool might repel them if they conducted a ma.s.sacre there. Moreover, they were no match for some of the more powerful creation spiritual beasts. They might face life-threatening danger if they encountered those beasts; hence, they didn’t dare to walk too far away from the Junior Master’s PaG.o.da.
After a few days, a beam of light shot up from the ocean and a figure appeared on the surface of the water. It was none other than Mo Wen.
His vision was a little blurry. He vaguely remembered that he was transported to a mysterious palace hall by the Purple Bottle Gourd. However, he had no recollection of what happened after that. He only knew that after he exited the palace hall, he had an ancient jade book in his hands. The book was t.i.tled Creation.
Other than that, he did not remember anything else.
“Mo Wen, you are back. Where have you been these past few days?”
As soon as Mo Wen appeared, the Jade Xiu King and the Ink Scaled King came towards him. Joy sparkled in their eyes. Even though they had been waiting for Mo Wen at the same spot, they were unsure whether Mo Wen would return there.
“I don’t know either. I vaguely remember that I was dragged into the bottom of the ocean. Then, I was tossed back up here.” Naturally, Mo Wen would not want to speak much about his experience. He felt that it was better not to tell anyone about the mysterious palace hall. Besides, the book t.i.tled Creation was certainly not simple. It might be related to the Creation Pool.
The Jade Xiu King breathed a sigh of relief and asked about Multicolor.
“As long as you are safe. What about Multicolor?”
She had not come out ever since she returned to Mo Wen’s body.
“She is in seclusion.”
Mo Wen naturally knew that the Heart of Multicolor had experienced a tremendous change. The Multicolor Queen was connected to the Heart of Multicolor and she should be in the process of evolving.
From afar, the Divine Dragon young maiden slowly walked towards Mo Wen. She stared at Mo Wen and said nothing.
“Long time no see.”
Mo Wen looked at the young maiden and smiled. He took the initiative to greet her. She still looked the same, but their relations.h.i.+p had changed.
“Give me a name.”
The Divine Dragon young maiden said plainly. Before this, she was merely a demonic Dragon Horse beast in the Fire Domain. She didn’t even know that she had the bloodline of the Black and White Dual Dragons; hence, she had no name at all. After she left the Fighting Spirit Tower, she was like a phoenix that had been reborn. Her achievements today were closely related to the person in front of her. Regardless of whether it was her changes in the Fighting Spirit Tower or her complete evolution in the Creation Pool, it could be said that it was all because of Mo Wen.
Of course, she had paid the price for it too. From the moment she became a dragon egg, a contract had formed between her and Mo Wen. Moreover, it was a rather unfair master and slave contract. Since such a contract had formed even before she was “born”, for the rest of her life, there was no possibility of her rescinding the contract. However, since things had come to such a pa.s.s, she had learned not to take things to heart. Without Mo Wen, she might have died in the Fighting Spirit Tower.
“Are you asking me to name you?” Mo Wen stroked his chin as he adopted a pondering look.
“Yes.” The dragon maiden nodded her head.
The Jade Xiu King and the Ink Scaled King stared at the two of them in shock. This mysterious dragon maiden was actually asking Mo Wen to name her? Exactly what kind of relations.h.i.+p were they in?
“My family name is Mo. You will take my family name from now on. Is that okay?” Mo Wen said after thinking for a long while.
The dragon maiden nodded her head and did not say anything.
“Hmm. You are from the rare Divine Dragon Clan. So there should be the word “dragon” in your name. I shall name you Mo Xiaolong (Mo Little Dragon),” Mo Wen finally said this after pondering for a long time.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the dragon maiden narrowed and the corner of her mouth twitched. She held her temper in and said, “No!”
From her expression, one could tell that she was very determined to veto the name.
The Ink Scaled King and the Jade Xiu King were speechless. Mo Xiaolong? The maiden was a girl and a great beauty. Mo Wen had pondered for so long, yet the name that he came up with was horrible. If they were the maiden, they would surely scold Mo Wen out loud. They might even curse Mo Wen’s family.
“You are not satisfied? Then let me think again. Hmm, how about Mo Dalong (Mo Big Dragon)?” Seeing that the dragon maiden was not satisfied with the name he came up with, Mo Wen tried again.
The dragon maiden, “…”
The Ink Scaled King, “…”
The Jade Xiu King, “…”
“You still don’t like it. Then how about Mo Longtian (Mo Dragon Sky)? This name is so domineering. It is only one letter different from Long Aotian (Dragon Proud Sky) [1]”
“If you don’t like that too, you can also go with Mo Tianlong (Mo Sky Dragon), or Mo Shenlong (Mo Divine Dragon), or Mo Longw.a.n.g (Mo Dragon King). They are all very domineering names—fitting for a Divine Dragon.”
Mo Wen racked his brain and thought of all the names that he felt were cool. Since the maiden was a dignified Divine Dragon, her name would naturally be more domineering. Otherwise, the name was not worthy of her status as a Divine Dragon.
The Jade Xiu King and the Ink Scaled King could not bear to watch this scene any longer. Mo Wen was too dense!
“Mo Wen, you don’t have a grudge with me, right?” The dragon maiden finally couldn’t stand it. She seemed to be on the verge of throwing a fit.
“Um… Shall I think more about this?” Mo Wen blinked his eyes. She asked him to give her a name, but he was indeed very bad at it.
“I shall be called Mo Yuqing.” After pondering for a moment, the dragon maiden gave herself a name.
Upon hearing this, both the Ink Scaled King and the Jade Xiu King nodded. This name was poetic and was worthy of her status as a great beauty. All the names that Mo Wen came up with were rubbish. He might as well go to the extent of naming her Mo Ritian (Mo Sun Sky) or Mo Aotian (Mo Proud Sky).
“Mo Yuqing? Isn’t that a little too by the books? How is that worthy of your status as a Divine Dragon? You’re a Primeval Age Divine Dragon and you’re from the domineering Dragon Clan! This name is not that suitable for you.” Mo Wen felt that this name was really not worthy of the dragon maiden and her domineering bloodline.
“Call me Mo Yuqing. It’s settled,” the dragon maiden said immediately when she saw that Mo Wen wanted to object.
“Alright.”
When Mo Wen saw that the dragon maiden was so adamant, he did not say anything anymore. Although the dragon maiden could be considered his female slave, he advocated human rights and did not like to force others to do things.
Mo Yuqing? The name was just one character different from Mo Qingge’s name. Could it be that all women liked this sort of name?
