Chapter 666: Chapter 660: Order of the Azure Dragon
“A mountain does not need to be high; it is famous if there is a celestial being. Skypillar Island was originally a nameless isle, but it became known as Skypillar Island because the Federation of Trainer Guilds specially transplanted a Sky-reaching Wood that towers into the clouds, due to the presence of the Heavenly Azure Dragon,” Blake Easton said.
“The Heavenly Azure Dragon?”
Upon hearing this name, David Jones’s pupils suddenly constricted, his eyes carrying a trace of shock.
He had thought that the Four Spirits of Heaven existed only in history, never expecting them to actually exist!
But what was strange was if the Flowery Kingdom really possessed four divine beasts, the Trainer Guild could have expanded its territory to the Savage Wasteland instead of contracting its power in areas where Arcane Force was scarce.
Yes, that’s right. As David Jones’s strength and knowledge gradually grew, he came to understand compared to the entire resource-rich Blue Star, the territory held by the Flowery Kingdom was but a tiny piece of land. The real masters of Blue Star were still the Beasts.
Unless there were problems with the Four Spirits of Heaven, the Trainer Guild of Flowery Kingdom would absolutely not have given up the opportunity to expand territory!
“It’s true. The reason the Origin Emperor was able to sweep across seven nations, pacify the chaos, and completely end the era of humanity being ruled by Beasts was with the help of the Heavenly Azure Dragon. That great Immortal being is now slumbering within Skypillar Island for cultivation,” Blake continued.
Speaking of this, Blake Easton paused slightly, “This information is top-secret within the Federation of Trainer Guilds and is not allowed to be leaked. Only legendary or stronger beings are qualified to know, but it should be alright for me to tell you in advance since you are Rosewood’s current patriarch and the inheritor of the Trial of Azure Dragon.”
“Slumbering!!!”
David Jones’s doubts were immediately cleared, wondering no more why the Trainer Guild of Flowery Kingdom chose a steady development strategy.
“Uncle Divot, what exactly are the Trial of Azure Dragon and its inheritor?” David Jones asked.
“The Immortal Power is vast and limitless. Every day, the mere breathing of the Four Spirits of Heaven would be enough to turn an entire Level III city into the Land of Isolate.
For Flowery Kingdom, the Four Spirits of Heaven are like whales swimming in shallow waters—the barren land of Flowery Kingdom is utterly insufficient for the cultivation of four Immortal demi-gods.
To enjoy the worship of billions of Trainers and break through to a higher level, entering slumber became the Guild’s only choice,” Blake Easton selectively concealed some facts.
For instance, aside from the Azure Dragon, which is in slumber for enlightenment, the other three Spirits are in a state of severe injury and would require at least hundreds of years to heal.
At present, the Flowery Kingdom only has one man-made Saint Spirit, the Kylin Saint Spirit, in a wakeful state to suppress the various forbidden lands within the country.
“The last few decades just happened to be the Azure Dragon’s awakening period. Those with the inheritor’s quota can undergo three Trials of Azure Dragon on Skypillar Island.
Those who pass the inspection by the Seven Emperors can awaken the Heavenly Azure Dragon and become the Azure Dragon Envoy, with the help of the entire Flowery Kingdom to expand territory and embark on the road to godhood.”
At this, Blake Easton’s gaze landed on David Jones, “And Lilith has given you this precious opportunity.”
David Jones maintained his composure on the surface, yet he felt somewhat touched inwardly.
“But don’t get too excited yet!”
Blake Easton said helplessly: “Becoming the Azure Dragon Envoy is not without disadvantages. Since the fall of the Origin Dynasty ten thousand years ago, only a few gifted talents with extraordinary Talent managed to become the Azure Dragon Envoy, but they all left words tinged with regret in the end!”
“What words?” David Jones was now interested.
“To stand shoulder to shoulder with a God Spirit in a mortal body comes at a heavy cost. The moment you form a Contract to become the Azure Dragon Envoy with the Heavenly Azure Dragon, the door to Immortality will be forever closed.”
Blake Easton looked at David Jones seriously: “For legendary fighters whose Potential is exhausted, this does not count as a disadvantage, but it is entirely different for you, as Uncle Divot believes you have the potential to surge forward to become an Immortal Trainer in the future.”
“In short, the Seven Emperors trials will commence in the next three years. Whether or not to use this opportunity is for you to decide.”
Confronted with Principal Easton’s high praise, David Jones felt honored yet surprised.
After all, on the surface, Flowery Kingdom didn’t even have an Immortal Trainer. Evaluating someone as having the qualification of an Immortal was practically the highest commendation a Trainer could receive.
After pondering for a moment, David Jones decided to give it a try. He had not forgotten the existence of the Divine Contract.
David Jones met Uncle Divot’s gaze and said calmly, “I want to try it.”
“Understood,” Blake Easton nodded slightly, taking out an ink-green Azure Dragon Token from the Star Ring and handing it to David Jones.
To be honest, he was somewhat disappointed with David Jones’s choice, but he had no intention of persuading him; after all, David Jones might not be able to pass the Seven Trials of Azura Dragon.
“When the Four Spirits of Heaven initiate the Trial of Azure Dragon, the token will directly teleport you to Skypillar Island, the place of the trial. First, drop your blood on it to acknowledge your ownership, ensuring that only you can use this token.”
David Jones lowered his head, looking at the token in his hand that was as smooth as jade. His Illusion-Piercing Eye was immediately activated.
[Heavenly Azure Dragon Token: A token condensed with the Immortal Power of the Azure Dragon, contains the breath of the Azure Dragon. Holding this token, one will not be attacked by the Seven Emperors Phantom Beasts and can undertake the Trial of Azure Dragon.]
After hesitating for a moment, David Jones stretched out his right hand, and the Gluttonous Beast transformed into a mechanical wrist guard, suddenly morphing into a blood-drawing needle.
It could be due to his overly strong physique, but the Gluttonous Beast had to continuously prick the same spot dozens of times in a short period before it could barely break through the skin’s defenses.
“Drip tap!”
As David Jones’s blood dripped down, a burst of intense light erupted, and the ink green color faded from the Azure Dragon Token, turning it into a flawless white token.
Seeing this, Blake Easton nodded, indicating that he had things to attend to now, but if David needed help with anything, he could contact him via cell phone.
At these words, David Jones’s eyes lit up.
“If you have something to say, just say it. If your Uncle Divot can help, he certainly won’t refuse,” Blake Easton said with a chuckle.
The promise of a Legend-tier powerhouse was invaluable to some Trainers and was not to be used lightly, but David Jones was not so polite. Blake Easton liked his forthrightness.
“Uncle Divot, I want a portion of Nine-Purity Spring Water from Glazewater College in exchange for Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk,” David Jones stated his purpose directly.
He had long wanted to use his teacher’s network and resources to obtain a portion of Nine-Purity Spring Water from Glazewater College, but alas, his teacher had not yet returned.
“Nine-Purity Spring Water?”
Upon hearing this, Blake Easton glanced at David Jones in surprise, immediately recalling the strange-feeling girl in his mind.
Nine-Purity Spring Water, a Level VIII Legend-tier resource, could unravel the mysteries of reincarnated powerhouses’ prenatal essence, enabling the soul of this life to take dominance.
Could it be that the girl named Rossetti Lindwood, whom David Jones brought to the college, was a reincarnated Legend-tier powerhouse?
As for an Immortal Trainer above Legend-tier powerhouses, Blake Easton dismissed the idea without even thinking about it.
There was only one reincarnated Immortal in the Flowery Kingdom, currently being intensively nurtured by the Federation of Trainer Guild. Where could another reincarnated Immortal possibly come from!
“Is that not possible?”
Noticing the surprise on Uncle Divot’s face, David Jones felt somewhat disappointed.
“Of course, it’s possible, but the supply of Nine-Purity Spring Water is limited, so you’ll have to wait in line,”
Blake Easton said with a light laugh, “Unless you, my boy, are willing to pay extra, otherwise you might have to wait fifty or sixty years!”
