Chapter 158 - Everyone’s Greed
Chapter 158: Everyone’s Greed
“Sob, sob, sob, sob. My Taiji Yin-yang Mirror.”
Everyone was heartbroken as they looked at the Magic Treasures that had been reduced to trash. When they raised their heads to look at the sky again, the golden dragon’s figure had long disappeared into the clouds. Gu Xi’s shadow was nowhere to be seen.
They now knew what it meant to lose everything.
Not only did Gu Xi escape, but they had also lost so many Magical Treasures and equipment.
“We were careless in the end. We didn’t expect this kid to be so powerful.”
They had guessed that the golden dragon had just recognized him as its master. Based on Gu Xi’s strength, it was impossible for him to make a powerful ancient creature, which only existed in legends, bow its head.
It must have obtained something from the skeleton and controlled the golden dragon. Therefore, it might not have sincerely submitted to Gu Xi. Perhaps, they could take advantage of this loophole.
Who would have thought that the golden dragon would protect Gu Xi so well that they did not have any chance to attack?
“As long as this kid is still in the Secret Realm, we must find him! Ask him to hand over the golden dragon and the secrets about the skeleton.”
There must be something behind the disappearance of such a huge skeleton. Moreover, the divine light that they saw earlier was extraordinary. Everyone dared to conclude that Gu Xi must have taken something.
Soon, the news of the birth of the divine dragon was leaked out. Who would not want to own a divine beast? There were also top-grade Magic Treasures related to it. For a moment, everyone in the Secret Realm became excited and their attention fell on Gu Xi.
“No matter how much we have to pay, we must get that divine beast! The legendary creature will definitely be owned by our Ethereal Illusion Mansion.”
“If the Patriarch finds out that we have contracted the divine dragon, I think he will reward us greatly.”
“The golden dragon is extremely powerful. If it becomes the Guardian Divine Beast of our sect, I think everyone will think highly of it. The position of the number one sect in the world is just around the corner.”
“I heard that the entire body of the dragon race is filled with treasures. Based on our strength, it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain the divine beast. However, if it is just a few scales, there is still hope.”
“That kid is really unlucky. How can he resist so many sects all by himself? Only when he dies will the golden dragon be able to recognize another person as its master.”
Everyone had different thoughts. There was even no lack of spectators. However, all the major sects had a common goal, and that was to obtain the golden dragon. If they could be recognized as its master by the golden dragon, their status would definitely rise.
After all, how could there be a pure-blooded dragon race in this world?!
It could be said to be a unique existence.
Gu Xi did not know what everyone was planning for him. However, he could guess that many people would think that he had obtained something good from such a powerful skeleton.
He did not have a clear direction either. He just allowed Little Jin to roam the sky. Little Jin, who had evolved once again, was so fast that the group of people could not catch up at all. They quickly shook off the pursuers.
Little Jin sensed that there was no danger. Golden light flashed all over his body and he returned to his previous carp appearance. It was probably because he was already used to his previous fish form. Moreover, the golden dragon was too huge, so it was easy for him to be exposed.
“Master.”
A voice suddenly sounded, giving Gu Xi a fright. When he met Little Jin’s huge fish eyes, he opened his mouth and asked, “You can speak?”
Little Jin nodded and said, “After absorbing Senior Long Tian’s inheritance, I can speak.”
Little Jin could be said to have gained a lot from this trip. According to his current cultivation level, he was at least a Half-step Saint. Gu Xi could even sense that it had already stepped into the threshold of a Saint, but it was still lacking an opportunity.
Compared to cultivators of the same level, demonic beasts were more powerful in terms of combat power. This was because they were blessed with exceptional defensive power and various factors. Even fighting across ranks was not a problem, so it was not easy to cultivate.
If one wanted to speak human language, they would have to be at least at the level of a Great Saint. Little Jin was only half a step away from becoming a Saint, but he was already able to speak. It was probably because of the special power in his bloodline.
Little Nine watched from the side with incomparable jealousy. One moment, he was pulling Little Jin’s beard, and the next moment, he was fiddling with the golden scales.
Gu Xi knew that Little Nine was upset.
The starting point was clearly about the same. In fact, Little Nine was even better than Little Jin. After all, when it was still an egg, the System had already extracted flaws and impurities from it. He was born with the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox bloodline.
Little Jin’s starting point was even lower. It was originally just a carp, but with the help of the System, it was able to open the Dragon Gate and transform its bloodline into the dragon race.
However, the fortuitous encounters in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm came one after another, especially after absorbing half a Dragon Ball and receiving personal guidance and inheritance from Long Tian. It could be said that its bloodline was now incomparably pure. It was the only Nine-clawed Golden Dragon in the world.
Little Nine had previously been boasting about being the boss, and had even bullied Little Jin. Now that its little brother’s strength was almost on par with it, it could not help but feel a strong sense of danger.
“Alright, this is its fortuitous encounter. When we come out of the Secret Realm in the future, I will also search for it for you as soon as possible.”
Gu Xi patted Little Nine’s head to comfort it. This was something he had not expected. The Golden Carp King from before had actually grown to such a level in a short period of time.
“Oh right, Long Tian once said that I have to be careful of the world? Do you know what this means?”
The things that Long Tian had instructed should be extremely important, but unfortunately, its spirit had dissipated before it could finish speaking. Now that Little Jin had received its inheritance, perhaps it would understand.
However, Little Jin shook its head, indicating that it was also unclear.
“Senior long Tian only has a wisp of remnant soul left, and his memories are also very chaotic. There is nothing useful at all.”
“I see.” Gu Xi could not help but fall into deep thought. He had a premonition that this sentence was very important to him. Otherwise, Long Tian would not have looked like that at that time.
