Chu Yuechan didn't understand what price she would have to pay, but she felt that as long as she had a chance to regain her strength, it was definitely worth trying out.
"No matter what the price is… If it allows me to regain my cultivation base, I will definitely pay it." She said with a resolute voice.
Meanwhile, Yang Tian had gone to the female flood dragon's corpse and store it within the Sky Poison Pearl. As he heard Chu Yuechan's resolute voice, he nearly burst out laughing.
With a hint of amusement on his face, Yang Tian spoke, "You really have no idea what you are getting into. But very well, come along with me then…" Nevertheless, those words had made him happy. Giving her hope… And then taking it away from her! Ahh… What a pleasurable feeling it would be!
The female flood dragon's corpse was stored within the Sky Poison Pearl. Yang Tian couldn't do the same with the male flood dragon's body because it had completely turned into ice and shattered into pieces. Honestly a waste of precious resources…
But still, he didn't dwell on it too much.
Slowly, Yang Tian and Chu Yuechan started walking. Chu Yuechan experienced some pain while walking, but she tolerated it. She thought Yang Tian was walking to get to some empty space.
After all, beasts might come to this location any time soon.
Soon enough, the two entered the cave.
Upon entering the cave, Yang Tian looked around, but he could feel no energy, no presence…
However, he remained calm. Since the dragon god's spirit hadn't revealed itself to him right now, it should show itself soon enough.
Meanwhile, Yang Tian lit up orange Phoenix Flames on his calm so that he could lighten up the cave.
At this moment, suddenly, an ancient voice slowly rang out from the air above him.
"The fire of the Phoenix…so that's how it is. It seems I wasn't mistaken; your body truly does have a bit of the blood of the Phoenix within it."
A smile appeared on Yang Tian's face as he turned towards the source of that voice, "So, you have revealed yourself, heh…"
"Your reaction says that you knew about my presence. How interesting… But, young human, you do not need to be worried. I am a mere wisp of a residual soul left behind by the Primordial Azure Dragon…
Yang Tian heard Jasmine's shocked voice resonate in his mind, ""What? Primordial Azure Dragon? Head of the various Divine Beasts in the Primordial Era, the Dragon God -- Primordial Azure Dragon?!"
A pair of mysterious eyes suddenly opened in the pitch-black space overhead. These two eyes were huge, yet long and narrow; they were about the same shape as a human's eyes… This scene resembled the phoenix eyes Yang Tian had seen in the phoenix trial grounds. What was different was that the phoenix eyes were gold while these eyes were an azure blue colour that was deeper than the skies.
At the same time, as if the sky had capsized, an endless expanse of aura descended.
This aura's depth far surpassed the phoenix aura he had experienced that day!
A smile appeared on Yang Tian's face as he replied to Jasmine using his Spiritual Pulse, "As I said before, this tiny planet contains legacies capable of even destroying the Star God Realm. Dragon God's Legacy will alone be enough to turn even the Brahma Monarch God Realm into a barren land by the Dragon God Realm."
He then focused his attention on the Dragon God's Spirit, "I am aware that you don't want to harm me… I also know of the fact that this is the trial ground left behind by the Primordial Azure Dragon."
"You seem to have come prepared, young human. And you aren't wrong… After waiting all these years, I have finally found a fated one. And within this millennia, you are the first." Yang Tian heard the ancient voice of the Primordial Azure Dragon.
Yang Tian spoke with a calm tone, "Primordial Azure Dragon… The head of the various Divine beasts. The Strongest amongst the true gods and the only ones above it were the Creation Gods and Devil Emperors. I wish to go through this trial."
The Primordial Azure Dragon seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing Yang Tian's words and its eyes flashed with blue colour, and a shocked look appeared on its face, "I see now… You are an anomaly. Your soul has fused with the soul of the Prince of the Star God Realm, that's how it has prevented from shattering apart. However, there is unexpectedly a part of your memories that I cannot read…"
The Primordial Azure Dragon then stared at Chu Yuechan, who was utterly dumbfounded as she stared at this Divine Spirit in front of her. She had unconsciously kneeled in the presence of this Divine Spirit… It was far too noble to someone like her.
"Woman… The words that this young human had spoken were not false. He can indeed cure you and even allow you to advance through the Emperor Profound Realm. However…" The Dragon God's Spirit took a long pause.
A look of anticipation appeared on Chu Yuechan's face as she eagerly asked the Dragon God's Spirit, "Divine Dragon…What is the way? Please tell me…"
"…You must take the trials along with this young human. Even if you are nothing short of baggage to him, you must stay alive in the trials ahead. Or else, you both will lose, gaining no benefits whatsoever." The Azure Dragon's Spirit said with a solemn voice.
Chu Yuechan turned to Yang Tian and spoke with a pleading look on her face, "…Please allow me to participate in the trials as well."
"… I have a condition, though. You need to listen to any and all my commands once we step into the Dragon God's Trials. And I won't be dealing with that bitchy response about how you hate all men and don't want me to touch you. If that's so, I can kill you and just be done with all this nonsense." Yang Tian said with a straightforward tone.
After some moments, Chu Yuechan nodded her head and replied to Yang Tian, "…Alright, I… I will allow it."
This time, the Primordial Azure Dragon's Spirit turned to Yang Tian, "Are you sure you want to bring her with you? The trial might become even harder for you."
"The harder it is, the greater the rewards, right? Aren't you looking down on your future inheritor too much? Just keep the rewards ready… I will be done with these trials soon enough." Yang Tian said to the Azure Dragon's Spirit with a confident tone.
"It has been quite some time since a human had talked to me in such a manner. But I do approve of your character. It will indeed be a blessing if you inherit the bloodline of the Dragon God. Now go… step into the trial ground's teleportation formation."
"Sure…" Yang Tian said with a hint of smirk hanging on his face.
