Dragon Tamer-Chapter 735 - 739: Yuheng Star Palace

Chapter 735: Chapter 739: Yuheng Star Palace

“Isn’t this Immortal Yu Shanhan from the Yuheng Star Palace? To think that heaven has favored us so, allowing us to have this chance encounter here,” the disheveled man said with a laugh, his gaze fixed on the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden.

The Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden opened her eyes, saying nothing, but it was evident from her look that she recognized this disheveled Loose Immortal.

“What brings you here?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“I’ve been tracking this Earth Immortal Ghost for quite some days, but never thought you would kill it here. My efforts to suppress, plan, and weaken it went to waste. Surely if I track an exhausted deer and it collapses before you, it doesn’t become yours, does it?” the disheveled man said.

Zhu Minglang’s eyes shifted towards the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden.

Did the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden steal his prey??

...

However, describing it as half-dead was clearly an exaggeration; the Earth Immortal Ghost had been very much alive and kicking.

“What do you suggest, then?” Zhu Minglang asked with a smile.

“Give me the Earth Spirit Orb, and I won’t trouble you. I’m quite perceptive, and for someone entering the Dragon Gate for the first time, it’s best to be modest before us seniors. If I’m in a good mood, I might even point you to a path of Divine Enthronement,” the disheveled man suggested.

“I was just worrying that this Earth Immortal Ghost wouldn’t be enough to replenish my Spirit Root; with you added to the mix, I should be able to make it to Mount Zhi Tian!” Zhu Minglang, realizing the man was there to extort, dispensed with any pleasantries.

“Immortal Yu Shanhan, you helped him slay this Earth Immortal Ghost, but he has not shown any intention of sharing the Earth Spirit Orb with you. We have some acquaintance after all. So how about this: we share the Earth Spirit Orb, and first we deal with this ungrateful fellow before us?” the disheveled man said, not in a hurry to act but instead moving closer to the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden’s position.

Zhu Minglang immediately furrowed his brow.

It wasn’t that he feared them teaming up against him, but rather, he found the disheveled man somewhat repulsive.

First, he threatened him, and upon seeing Zhu Minglang wouldn’t be swayed, he immediately sought to sway the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden to snatch the Earth Spirit Orb from him.

A cunning villain; his actions were nauseating. A real man would just fight it out, why be a coward??

The Earth Spirit Orb was highly beneficial to the Nuwa Dragon, and Zhu Minglang had no plans of sharing it with the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden. If she also desired it, she would most likely be willing to join forces with the Loose Immortal, especially since they knew each other in the outside world!

“Loose Immortal Fang Yuanliang, this gentleman assisted me in my time of peril and has been gracious to me. Please seek something else,” the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden said.

“Is that so? The favors within the Dragon Gate are most contemptible. I hope Immortal Yu Shanhan will reconsider, as I cannot possibly do anything to harm the Yuheng Star Palace,” Loose Immortal Fang Yuanliang said with a smile.

“Please seek something else,” the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden repeated.

“Fine, I suppose I’ll remember this small grievance over the stolen prey. We’ll have a long future ahead,” Loose Immortal Fang Yuanliang’s smile vanished as he cast a cold glance at Zhu Minglang and Yu Shanhan.

Facing two against one, Fang Yuanliang naturally wasn’t confident, and considering the cost of every action within the Dragon Gate where the inhabitants were adept at being the mantis stalking the cicada…

Zhu Minglang didn’t pursue him, not wanting to blindly chase after the man and risk falling into his trap without a full understanding of his strength and divine skills.

…

The Nuwa Dragon was fed the Earth Spirit Orb and she seemed overjoyed, constantly swaying her slender waist within the Spirit Realm, exuding an enchanting allure, yet her face remained pure, unblemished, and beautiful.

She began to absorb the Spirit Root contained within the Earth Spirit Orb. Countless specks of light appeared around her, gradually condensing into seal-like glyphs that had an ancient charm while containing vast and potent energy.

The Nuwa Dragon’s absorption rate was very fast. She had a divine form, and even outside the Dragon Gate, such heavenly treasures would allow her to quickly ascend to the rank of a Demi-god, let alone within it.

The Spirit Root seemed to shatter various shackles on her body. The ethereal charm and mysterious light spots emanating from her began to merge, eventually flowing back into her body.

Her skin, her hair, and the scales that marked her as a Demon Dragon all underwent changes. Initially, she had retained a trace of the Demon Dragon’s vulgarity and allure, but now she had completely shed these traits. Her every move carried the purity and nobility of the divine.

Her skin became lustrous, white as jade, her hair golden and supple, while the scales, which might have detracted from her beauty, now resembled exquisitely flawless floral tattoos, adding a touch of seductiveness to her holiness…

“Cough cough, no wonder there are such strange species in the world. Encountering a Nuwa Dragon of this kind, indeed, some people can’t help but become obsessed,” Mr. Jinli remarked as he watched the Nuwa Dragon, making a rather wicked comment.

The Nuwa Dragon was indeed striking in appearance. Zhu Minglang, merely looking at her, almost forgot that she was also an incredibly formidable fighter!

Her mastery of the Yanzang Art was extremely advanced, and now with the Earth Spirit Orb, it was a pity that the disheveled Loose Immortal and the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden hadn’t joined forces. Had they done so, he could have justifiably annihilated them together and then further increased his own cultivation base!

“Taoist friend Zhu, my wounds are healed, thank you for assisting me, and for acting as my protector,” the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden from the Yuheng Star Palace stood up, lightly dusting off her robes.

“I cultivate the path of benevolence; helping others is also a way for me to increase my own power,” Zhu Minglang replied with a smile.

“So that’s how it is. No wonder, when I first saw you, I could sense some auspicious Qi about you. The path of benevolent cultivation is fraught with hardship and peril. To have reached such a level of cultivation, you must have paid a price beyond what ordinary people can bear. I am Yu Shanhan of the Yuheng Star Palace. It is my three lifetimes’ fortune to have made your acquaintance,” Yu Shanhan said. Hearing that Zhu Minglang was a cultivator of the benevolent path, a hint of admiration appeared in her beautiful eyes. She became less guarded and tense, and her tone softened a great deal compared to before.

Off to the side, Mr. Jinli rolled his fish eyes, clearly unable to accept Zhu Minglang’s shameless behavior.

Zhu Minglang’s path was naturally not that of righteous cultivation, and auspicious qi had even less to do with him; it was primarily because the Heaven Dust Dragon had bestowed its hundred thousand years of cultivation base entirely upon Little White, endowing Little White with a purple aura of auspiciousness. Zhu Minglang, this Dragon Shepherd, merely basked in some of that reflected glory.

That bit of auspicious qi that others struggled a hundred thousand years to cultivate with good deeds, probably wouldn’t last even a year or two in the hands of someone like Zhu Minglang!

“Not at all, the fortune is mine to be acquainted with a fairy from the Yuheng Star Palace,” Zhu Minglang said with faux politeness.

“When you previously invited me to travel with you, I admit I was a bit on guard; for that, I am ashamed. On the road ahead, please do take care of me, Taoist friend Zhu,” said Yu Shanhan from the Yuheng Star Palace, bowing slightly.

Travel together?

Zhu Minglang never said he wanted to travel with her.

At the time, he had simply tactfully sent her away, assuming that a lady wouldn’t easily agree to travel with a stranger.

“Was it presumptuous of Shanhan?” Yu Shanhan asked, seeing Zhu Minglang’s hesitation.

“Most welcome, most welcome indeed!” At that moment, Mr. Jinli swished his tail, sleazily speaking on behalf of Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang was also unfamiliar with the matters within the Dragon Gate. Having a companion was indeed better than aimlessly wandering around by himself.

“Delighted, absolutely delighted,” Zhu Minglang responded.

Then, Mr. Jinli leaned close to Zhu Minglang’s ear and, lowering his voice, said, “Getting on good terms with people from the Yuheng Star Palace is key. The Divine Jade Balance of the Seven Stars is the strongest deity in your realm. Yuheng’s splendor even surpasses that of Tianshu.”

“One of the Seven Star Gods, Yuheng?” Zhu Minglang asked with some surprise.

“Yes, that’s the leader of the North Dipper Stars, and they seem to mainly consist of Sword Cultivators. In the future, this could greatly help you in improving your Sword Spirit Dragon and your Sword Realm,” Mr. Jinli explained.

The deity representing the Yuheng Star was even higher in status than Hua Chou.

Moreover, this Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden from the Yuheng Star Palace was not an ordinary character. She might already be a deity, or even a True God!

Within the Tian Shu God Domain, there are a total of thirty-three deities.

But Yuheng has its own God Territory, and it’s unknown how many True Gods there are within it.

“So to speak, does the Dragon Gate pull chosen ones from different realms into one world?” Zhu Minglang said.

Initially, Zhu Minglang thought the Dragon Gate gathered the God Chosen of Tianshu, but he hadn’t expected to meet people from other God Territories. He was completely unfamiliar with their worlds and was actually very curious about them!

“There are countless stars, God Chosen from whatever obscure star will be here, just scattered in different areas of the Nine Heavens,” Mr. Jinli said.

“Nine Heavens??” Zhu Minglang emphasized these three words, his eyes fixed on Mr. Jinli.

“Ah, yes, I remember now. The Dragon Gate should be called the Ninefold Dragon Gate. Each level has a different world, representing the existence that the most powerful beings from millions of stellar worlds look up to. The place you are currently in should be the first level of the Nine Heavens, called something… I can’t quite recall the name,” Mr. Jinli said.

Zhu Minglang knew that the useful information in Mr. Jinli’s belly was like constipation, coming out little by little.

Absolutely useless.

He felt that if he asked the recently met female Taoist friend, she would tell him all of this.

“Miss Yu, is this the first level of the Dragon Gate?” Zhu Minglang asked the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden who was also flying on her sword.

“The first level?” The Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden showed a look of confusion.

“The Dragon Gate has nine levels, each level is a Realm…” Zhu Minglang said.

He wanted to exchange some valuable information with his new female Taoist friend.

“The Dragon Gate actually has nine levels, representing the Nine Heavens, I see, I see!” The Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden suddenly had a flash of realization, her face lighting up with joy she couldn’t hide.

Zhu Minglang kept his composure, but inside he was also a bit startled.

It turns out this unreliable fish was speaking of divine secrets!

Even as a deity or kin to the gods of the Yuheng Star Palace, she was unaware of the nine-level structure of the Dragon Gate!
