Chapter 229: How Many Good Things Are in the Dragon Valley?
The Dragon Soul and Dragon Bone need no explanation. The various clouds in the sky are also known to Huo Yuhao.
They are the condensed essence of heaven and earth, infused with the aura of dragons due to the Dragon Valley, hence called Dragon Clouds. They are also a variant of the Dragon Soul, serving as excellent supplements for him.
It has been mentioned before that if Huo Yuhao's Silver Dragon King bloodline wants to grow, there are several methods, one of which is absorbing elemental energy from the outside. However, the essence of heaven and earth in many places is not concentrated enough to be effective.
But the Dragon Valley is different.
Here, the essence of heaven and earth has condensed into tangible Dragon Clouds, infused with dragon aura, making it the most suitable for enhancing dragon bloodlines.
In other words, most things in the Dragon Valley have the effect of boosting bloodlines. After all, this place is the foundation for the dragon clan's resurgence. Utilizing the resources here well can nurture many dragon deities.
Looking at the Dragon Clouds in the sky, Huo Yuhao released his aura and summoned the spirits of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings.
In an instant, the surrounding Dragon Clouds drifted towards Huo Yuhao and merged into his body.
These elements nourished his body like sweet dew, with different elements blending and stimulating within his bloodline, enhancing it.
During the fusion process, Huo Yuhao clearly felt that his resistance to various elements and his affinity for them were further enhanced. At the same time, the elemental energies of heaven and earth subtly nourished his body, making it stronger.
Some Dragon Clouds even carried spiritual attributes, boosting his spiritual power after absorption.
Although the enhancement was minimal, in this short time, the Dragon Clouds he absorbed improved his spiritual power, bloodline, elemental affinity, and physical constitution, showcasing the might of the Dragon Valley.
"As expected of the place where numerous dragon deities fell."
Originally, Huo Yuhao's soul power would also improve, as unlike Tang Wulin, whose soul power was sealed upon entering, his was not. However, he intentionally guided the Dragon Clouds to nourish his body and bloodline rather than using them to enhance his soul power...
Feeling the changes within, Huo Yuhao stopped absorbing the surrounding Dragon Clouds, ceasing his actions after a brief taste.
Now, there were more important things to do.
Seeing him stop, Snow Empress spoke, "With the combined strength of our spirit beasts, we can resist this small world for twenty-one days. Is that enough time?"
"Enough," Huo Yuhao smiled. "This is just a preliminary exploration. I didn't plan to find the core target immediately."
In the original Star Dou Forest, only a group of ferocious beasts remained as the face of the forest, including the six great ferocious beasts like Di Tian. Together, they could only resist the Dragon Valley's small world for six days, less than a third of their time. What more could he be dissatisfied with?
However, compared to the original, their goal this time was not just the Dragon God's Heart, and it would take longer.
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena, who was gazing at the Dragon Bones and Dragon Souls with complex emotions, clearly lost in memories.
He said nothing, only stepping forward to gently touch Gu Yuena's silver hair.
Feeling the warmth on her head, Gu Yuena was slightly startled, then composed herself and turned to him with a smile.
"I've already set up a space-time array. Twenty-one days in the Dragon Valley will only be seven hours in the outside world. Time is limited. While Xiong Jun and Snow Empress resist the small world, let's act immediately."
Seeing Gu Yuena return to her usual state, Huo Yuhao nodded, bid temporary farewell to Snow Empress and the others, and disappeared with her.
With Snow Empress and the others holding the rules of the plane at bay, the rules of the Dragon Valley no longer applied to them.
Able to use their soul power, they could explore more here and move much faster than the evil spirit masters restricted by the Dragon Valley.
Several hours passed, and the scenery of the Dragon Valley gradually became clear in their minds. Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena walked side by side, and wherever they went, the wandering Dragon Souls retreated, some even bowing in respect, this was an instinctive reverence for the Silver Dragon King bloodline and the Water and Fire Spirits.
They didn't need to lift a finger to receive nourishment from the Dragon Souls.
However, looking at the Dragon Souls before him, Huo Yuhao chose not to absorb them but instead used a necromantic spell, Time Reversal.
This spell could view memories, seeing the deepest parts of a soul or experiences from a specific time.
Although these Dragon Souls only had instincts left, there were still residual memories to be viewed, and since they had lingered in the Dragon Valley for a long time, these memories were all related to it.
Huo Yuhao could find the clues he needed from these memories.
As they walked, he had already gathered much information...
Soon, Huo Yuhao emerged from the Dragon Soul's memory and looked at the waiting Gu Yuena.
"The location of the Dragon God's Soul and the Dragon God's Heart has been confirmed, thirty miles west in a cemetery. Shall we head there immediately?"
Gu Yuena thought for a moment, then shook her head. "The Dragon God's Heart, as a super divine artifact, is one of the cores supporting this plane. If we take it, the Dragon Valley plane will lose support, greatly affecting its stability. The plane might forcefully expel us. Let's retrieve it later."
Huo Yuhao recalled that in the original story, after Gu Yuena took the Dragon God's Heart, the Dragon Valley plane began to tremble, and its connection with the Star Luo Continent was severed. He nodded in agreement.
Being cut off from the outside space didn't worry him. Having already entered, leaving a coordinate was simple. But if the plane became unstable and expelled them, re-entering later would require waiting, unnecessarily increasing the difficulty.
Seeing Huo Yuhao agree, Gu Yuena's gaze fell on him, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity. "Yuhao, in your previous plan, the greatest benefits were mine. What about you? Are you just planning to absorb Dragon Souls and Dragon Clouds here?"
"Everything here belongs to you. I'm just here to freeload," Huo Yuhao joked, then smiled. "However, besides the things I mentioned earlier, I do have my own goals."
How many good things are in the Dragon Valley?
The opportunities Tang Wulin encountered in the Dragon Valley in Douluo III weren't even the core.
Dragon Clouds and Dragon Souls were just bonuses. Even the so-called Mountain Dragon King's Bone couldn't compare to the true opportunities here.
In terms of super divine artifacts, there are two here,.the Dragon God's Heart and the Ascending Dragon Pillar! (Many readers think the Ascending Dragon Pillar is in the Dragon Horse Star, but it's not. Douluo IV mentions that the Ascending Dragon Pillar is the foundation of the Dragon Tomb small plane, a cornerstone of the world. After the Dragon Tomb moved to the Heavenly Dragon Star, the Ascending Dragon Pillar anchored the small plane there.)
The Dragon God's Heart is the essence of the Dragon God, similar to the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core. If someone could absorb it, reaching the God King level wouldn't be impossible. In terms of power, it's also among the top super divine artifacts. Every time Gu Yuena uses it, her spiritual power increases by one or several major realms.
The Ascending Dragon Pillar is the only super divine artifact the Dragon God crafted from materials other than his own body, used to assess the strength of dragon deities, stabilize the mind, and assist dragons in breaking through. The Little Dragon God, at seven rings, could only reach a level comparable to a Limit Douluo, but using the Ascending Dragon Pillar to break through to seven rings, he directly faced the divine tribulation and became a true god.
Moreover, if Huo Yuhao remembers correctly, the Ascending Dragon Pillar is currently the foundation of the Dragon Tomb small plane.
Thus, the abilities and values of these two super divine artifacts are evident.
Apart from them, there are opportunities comparable to them, the Dragon God's Remains, which are the triggers for the Dragon God's Trials and the source of the Dragon Valley's dragon power.
The effects of dragon power are astonishing... If not for the issue of the heavenly tribulation, dragon power could easily allow true dragons like Di Tian and Zi Ji to become gods without bottlenecks. It can also evolve other races into dragons, serving as the Dragon God's backup plan for the dragon clan's revival.
However, compared to the above two opportunities, the Dragon God's Remains are both an opportunity and a danger. They contain the Dragon God's will, and its strength... could handle a half-step God King. Huo Yuhao even suspects that if it absorbed the Dragon God's Heart, the Ascending Dragon Pillar, and the Dragon Tomb's energy, it could resurrect as a God King.
These three are the top opportunities in the Dragon Valley.
Next are the divine artifacts left behind from the Dragon God era...
For example, the Heaven-Burning Divine Staff, a top-tier divine artifact comparable to the Golden Dragon Spear, which fell into the dragon clan's hands during the Dragon God War, is also in the Dragon Valley!
