Chapter 309: Chapter 182: Dragon Princess, Can You Escape from the Ancestor’s Five Finger Mountain?_2

“Alas~”

Gazing at the fated golden dragon, Long Yue murmured to herself, a look of regret filling her pretty face.

The Daqian Empire’s fated golden dragon was exceedingly well-hidden, undetectable even by Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm without specific secret techniques. However, having witnessed it before, Long Yue set her sights on this fated golden dragon.

Before the opening of the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm, the fated golden dragon of the Daqian Empire was at its zenith, stretching over ten thousand zhang, rivalling even ordinary warriors of the Divine Yuan Realm.

However, the Daqian Empire did not understand the laws of fate and could not utilize the fated golden dragon, or else the empire would not have fallen to its current sorry state.

Being of the dragon lineage herself, a true Jiao dragon, and having cultivated to the Saint Yuan Stage in her previous life, the empire’s fated golden dragon was of great use to her.

After reincarnating, Long Yue wished to take a new path—feasting on the fated golden dragon to assist her ascent to the Divine Yuan Realm and forge a king-grade Martial Primordial Spirit.

In her previous life, upon reaching the True Martial Realm, she had condensed a king-grade Martial True Pill, and within the Divine Yuan Realm, she had nurtured a king-grade Martial Primordial Spirit. But she had failed to take the final step in advancing to the Tongxuan Realm, resulting in a less than perfect foundation, which weighed heavily on her mind.

Although she eventually cultivated to become a saint of the Saint Yuan Realm, the hardships she faced during the journey were known only to her. For the sake of acquiring great fortunes, she braved many dangerous places in the Yuankun Domain and narrowly survived multiple brushes with death before finally ascending to the Saint Yuan Realm.

Not even a century after her ascent, she was pursued by that Great Saint and ultimately perished in the Qianyuan Divine Province.

Since her return from reincarnation, Long Yue has been pondering why the Great Saint would do such a thing, realizing there was a deeper meaning behind it.

If the other party had truly wanted her dead, she would not have had the chance to reincarnate. How then could her Dragon Soul and Dragon Ball have been left in the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm, allowing her the opportunity to reincarnate a hundred years ago?

Recently, Long Yue had gradually clarified the intricate details and began to understand the Great Saint’s intentions.

“Sigh~”

Thinking of her previous speculation, Long Yue heaved a sigh.

She then dismissed these distractions from her mind and continued to watch the fated golden dragon.

In this life, she did not follow the path of her past life but embarked on a brand new one. Leveraging the foundation from her past life, she successfully condensed a king-grade Martial True Pill.

But even with her past life’s foundation, Long Yue wasn’t very confident about nurturing a king-grade Martial Primordial Spirit, estimating at most a thirty percent chance of success.

This probability was extremely high for others at the peak of the True Martial Realm, but Long Yue was unsatisfied. She did not want to take risks unless there was over an eighty percent chance, if not absolute certainty.

As a result, she began to strategize and deduced a secret technique that could absorb fate to help her nurture a king-grade Martial Primordial Spirit.

The fates of forces at the Hollow Void Stage or Myriad Phenomena Realm were useless to Long Yue because their fates were not in the form of golden dragons but merely Jiao dragons.

Only the forces of the True Martial Realm had fate that could transform into dragons, breaking through the thousand zhang threshold. The stronger a force’s foundation, the larger its fated golden dragon would be.

For a top-tier force like the Daqian Empire, with its flourishing fate, two True Martial Realm powerhouses in residence, and numerous rising geniuses, it spanned an area near ten million li. Its fated golden dragon exceeded ten thousand zhang, which made it the target Long Yue had chosen.

It just so happened that the Daqian Empire had started on a downward spiral, coveted by many top-level forces, which provided Long Yue with an opportunity.

If she could seize the Daqian Empire’s fated golden dragon, upon her breakthrough to the Divine Yuan Realm and infusing it into the Martial True Pill, she could enhance the quality of the resulting Martial Primordial Spirit.

With this, the sky would be the limit for her future, allowing her to completely refine her past life’s Dao fruit Dragon Ball once she re-cultivated to the Saint Yuan Realm.

At that point, with the Dao fruits of two lives merged, she would transform from a Jiao to a dragon, drastically increasing her cultivation and breaking into the Quasi Emperor domain, with the future potential to become a Great Emperor of the Heaven Imperial Realm.

Though saints lived for a hundred thousand years, it was merely one-tenth of the lifespan of a Great Emperor from the Heaven Imperial Realm.

As a Jiao dragon, her lifespan was already many times that of a human from the Saint Yuan Realm, yet still shy of five hundred thousand years.

Should she succeed in reaching the Heaven Imperial Realm and becoming a Great Emperor, her lifespan would surpass five million years, far exceeding that of ordinary Demon Clan members and even that of Jiao dragons and True Dragons of the same realm.

“Whoever tries to obstruct my path will be my mortal enemy.”

Her eyes cold and unyielding as she beheld the fated golden dragon before her, Long Yue knew it was of paramount importance; it was also the best she could hope to attain.

Several Sacred Lands controlled the Qianyuan Divine Province, and she dared not act rashly. Even if she regained her past life’s cultivation level, causing disorder in the Qianyuan Divine Province would lead to suppression by those Sacred Lands.

The Imperial Weapons and Immortal Artifacts within those Sacred Lands were not just for show. They could awaken spontaneously, unleashing tremendous power. They could also be actively used by cultivators, although at the cost of massive amounts of energy.

Only the fated golden dragon of the Daqian Empire was within easy reach.

With the decline of the Daqian Empire, its downfall was inevitable. Her taking away the fated golden dragon would only hasten the process, and the masters of those Sacred Lands would not blame her for it.

After all, the collapse of the Daqian Empire was already being orchestrated behind the scenes by the Sacred Lands.

What Long Yue lamented was that the once ten thousand zhang fated golden dragon had dwindled to just one-tenth of its size. A ten thousand zhang fated golden dragon would have undoubtedly enabled her to nurture a king-grade Martial Primordial Spirit, possibly even surpassing thirty thousand zhang in height.

Now, the Daqian Empire’s fated golden dragon had shrunk to a mere thousand zhang. Although greatly reduced, consuming it would still aid her in nurturing a king-grade Martial Primordial Spirit.

Long Yue had thought about seizing the ten thousand zhang fated golden dragon years ago but ultimately did not act, opting instead to carefully plan her move.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to take the fated golden dragon years ago; she simply couldn’t.
