When aran needed a strategy to enter the library and copy the books, instead of just thinking about that, he realised he will have to often face these kinds of problems and he wanted a permanent solution for most of his problems.
So he continued to read the demon's book for three whole days thinking he might get an answer and he finished the book.
After fully reading it he understood everything that's in the book and all the new things he can learn. One of the things he realised was that he can use his divine vision for more things than he thought was possible.
This time he was planning on summoning a Dragon from the demonic realm and making a contract with it!
***
After the first great calamity, when the higher realm got created, two different breeds of beings were also got created in the higher realms.
The Phoenix was born in the heavenly realm and the dragon in the demonic realm. These beings were the embodiment of space and time itself.
At first, when these beings got created, the dragons possessed the ability to freely manipulate space and the Pheonix was capable of manipulating time. Although they lost most of their abilities over time, they could still perform some abilities related to their power and they were still stronger than most of the higher-realm cultivators.
These beings not only could shape-shift into any being they want but they also had intelligence equal to humans.
When cultivators started to enter the higher realms after breaking through, they couldn't cohabit with these beings. Because the higher beings claimed that the higher realm belongs to them and humans aren't allowed to enter their realm and it eventually ended up starting a war between the higher realm beings and the higher realm cultivators which went on for a long time.
Hundreds of years later, when humans were done with all these battles they asked Godfried, one of the legendary cultivators for help. Since Godfried was considered the strongest being in the world, he made a permanent agreement with these beings.
According to the agreement the humans were allowed to live among dragons in the higher realm but in return, the humans had to deliver the necessary things for them.
When Godfried realised that even with all the powers the higher beings weren't technically as advanced as humans, he created a new contract seal and gave it to the humans.
With that seal, humans could have made a mutual contract with a higher being and gotten their help in return for something the higher being wants. Since higher beings also thought its fair for them they also accepted it.
After that day, when a cultivator enters a higher realm, he eventually makes a contract with a higher being of that realm and gets its support. But Aran had never thought that it was possible for him before reaching the higher realm until he read the demon's book.
As aran was reading the book, he saw a formation, that he can use to connect his vision with the demonic realm and eventually summon a certain dragon into the formation. Since aran thought that having a dragon to help him might solve many of his problems he decided to do that.
****
After entering the private seclusion chamber, Aran saw, the chamber was large and completely painted white. It was almost the same as the one he had in his house. But the difference was that here, the mana flow was stronger than in his house.
Since the private chamber had a strong connection with the higher realm, he could have done the cultivation of ten days in one day.
After making sure that everything is alright, Aran summoned the book and learned the formation that he had already chosen and used the demonic mana in rings to create the formation.
After drawing the array's foundations and mana letters on the floor, he activated them using hundreds of high-tier spirit stones that he got from professor Terrowin.
When the array got completed, aran went inside the formation and sat down in the middle of it, closing his eyes as if he was meditating. After concentrating for a while he connected his soul with the formation and tried to link his divine vision with the demonic realm using the power of the formation.
When he successfully linked his vision, he started to see the demonic realm but it looked mostly blurry since he was just catching a view of the realm using the formation. As soon as he got connected, he started looking for the souls of the dragons.
As Aran continued to move his vision, he saw many souls of dragons but he ignored all of them. Because he was looking for a particular low-ranked dragon with an issue of breaking through. Since problems are something everyone has to face, he was sure that he can find a dragon like that.
After looking for a while, Aran saw a glimpse of a dragon's soul, which was far away from all the people and others dragons. He followed that soul and moved his vision.
As his vision got close to the dragon and he saw through its soul. That dragon was at the third stage, high tier. Even though the dragon had the soul of an adult dragon, it still had low cultivation.
Usually, the dragons would have reached the final ninth stage of basic cultivation before becoming adults and continued their higher realm cultivation after that. So as he saw that dragon's soul he was sure, that its the dragon he was looking for.
After selecting the dragon, aran got out of the vision and opened his eyes. To continue with the summoning he got up and moved out of the formation.
Even though Aran could have used that summoning array to send the dragon back if things went wrong, he knew that he might still have to face some risks if the dragon went rough after the summoning.
So he summoned the book and learned another low-ranked formation to restrict the dragon's moments and drew that formation on top of the summoning formation.
Since the dragon he was going to summon was not that strong he thought, a low-ranked movement restriction array would be enough.
After all the planning Aran was well prepared to face the risks. Thinking of what might happen next he activated the formation!
***
As the array activated, the floor begin to shine like every other array formation and the energy inside the array started to fluctuate. The energy continued to increase denser and denser and suddenly the dragon appeared inside the formation.
As aran saw that dragon with a shocking expression, it was almost eight times bigger than him. The dragon had completely dark skin and its eyes were shining blue. With its long legs and two wings, it was the biggest living being aran had ever seen.
As the dragon took its first breath in the lower realm, it seemed like someone is using the wind attribute. When aran saw through the dragon's soul once again up close he got more surprised because it wasn't just a dragon but it was a dragon with a lightning attribute!
Although aran was planning on sending the dragon back if the contract didn't work out, after seeing that lightning attribute, he wanted to make that contract with it no matter what.
" Who Summoned Me Here? "
The dragon asked in his deep monstrous voice. He sounded like he was angry about getting summoned.
" I did !" Aran replied with the same confident tone.
As the dragon looked at aran, he started to think if it was actually true. Because the one who summoned him was a little boy.
Usually, the cultivators who want to make a contract with a dragon have to meet the dragon in person in the demonic realm and make the contract.
After the contract is done, the contractor can draw a small array on the floor to send a summoning signal to the dragon and then the dragon would be able to teleport into the formation using the location signal sent by the contractor.
Although dragons can't usually teleport wherever they want before completing the basic cultivation, they can still teleport by following the formation's signal. That was how it was usually done. But when Aran summoned the dragon just like that, the dragon couldn't understand how could someone summon him without his permission.
" Who Are You Boy and How Did You Summon me? " The dragon asked.
" We can talk about my identity later but for now what do you think about making a contract with me? " Aran asked.
When the Dragon heard aran talking about making a contract with him, he started to laugh very hard
" ha ha ha, you, ha. You, hh ha You want to hahaha make a contract ha ha ha ha ha with me? hah " The dragon asked and continued to laugh.
" Yes, that's what I said! " Aran replied. He looked completely confident about that. As the dragon heard him talking seriously he slowly stopped laughing.
" So, it wasn't a joke then. Why would you ever think that you are worthy enough to make a contract with me?" The dragon asked. But now he was also serious.
" I wasn't trying to make a contract with you. I was looking for a stronger dragon. I don't know what happened with the formation, it summoned you! " Aran replied.
Hearing aran indirectly calling him weak, the dragon got angry. He suddenly moved both of his wings to grab aran but Aran suddenly activated the second formation and restricted his movements and the dragon couldn't move.
But the dragon was so angry to hear a low life like aran calling him weak, that he activated his lightning attribute and used all of his strength to get out of that formation.
As the dragon tried hard, it started to become difficult for Aran to hold the formation and before aran could think of what to do, the dragon completely broke the formation! And grabbed aran with his wings and pulled his body towards his mouth!
Although aran had a good plan, he hasn't considered the dragon to have the lightning attribute and he underestimated its power.
" Are You Saying That I am Not strong Enough to make a Contract with you boy?" The dragon asked.
The dragon was holding aran tightly and its mouth was very close to aran. Anyone else would have got horrified by that, but aran was still calm. He was not even flinching or trying to escape from its holding.
Because Aran was actually thrilled to see its strength even after having low-stage cultivation. He was thinking about what he might achieve if he successfully made a contract with him and helped him get to his peak.
" I am not saying that you are weak but looking at your third-stage cultivation, it seems like that " Aran replied.
The dragon was shocked to hear that because he knew that no one except the other dragons and the higher realm cultivators can see through a dragon's cultivation. Looking at Aran still having a creepy smile and an arrogant attitude, the dragon realised that he is not just an ordinary weak cultivator.
