Chapter 21: Dugu Bo: What About My Big Plot of Land?

Chapter 21: Dugu Bo: What About My Big Plot of Land?

Kong was unsure how Raiden Ei intended to move the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

However, he believed that if Raiden Ei could suggest such a thing, there must be a valid reason. If she couldn't actually move the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, why would she propose such a plan? He had unconditional trust in Raiden Ei!

"Right, Raiden Ei..."

Kong scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, having accidentally called her by the nickname. Surely Ei wouldn't know what that meant, right?

After a short pause, seeing no reaction from Ei, Kong continued: "These Ice and Fire Yin Yang Wells are where the Water and Fire Dragon King was buried. At the very bottom, the Dragon King's soul still sleeps. If you move the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Wells, could it possibly…"

"Water and Fire Dragon King?"

Ei's voice echoed in Kong's mind, laced with confusion.

"Yes… It's not one of the Dragon Kings from the Teyvat continent, but a child of the God Realm's Dragon God from the Douluo Continent. They represent the elements of water and fire. Of course, the Water Dragon King could also be called the Ice Dragon King since he also controls ice…"

Kong thoroughly informed Ei about the origins of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings.

These two were no easy foes.

Alive, they were both peak first-level deities, and even in death, it was uncertain how much power their dragon souls could still wield.

Raiden Ei had lost much of her power during the crossing; her condition wasn't good, and it was unclear if she could handle the remnants of the Water and Fire Dragon King's soul.

"No matter."

"Just remnants of a demonic spirit, that's all."

Kong: "..."

After hearing this, Kong was silent for a while, inwardly commenting: Raiden Ei, that's quite bold of you! Wait, does Ei even have breath to be bold with? I kind of want to test that…

Since Ei said it was fine, what was there for Kong to worry about? Ei was a primordial demon god, after all. Despite her seemingly clueless demeanor, her true form was terrifying indeed!

Time passed, and Yu Yuanzhen's breakthrough took longer than before.

After all, this was a breakthrough to level 98, a different challenge compared to the previous one to level 97.

Eventually, a sound like thunderous dragon roars erupted from Yu Yuanzhen, and a powerful wave of soul force spread out. It was only a moment before Yu Yuanzhen opened his eyes and reined in the force.

This wasn't a place where he could freely unleash his soul power; if he damaged any of the plants, he'd have nowhere to cry.

"Congratulations, Clan Master, on successfully breaking through to level 98!"

Dugu Bo was somewhat envious; he had also advanced two levels, but compared to Yu Yuanzhen, it was nothing!

Yu Yuanzhen had forcefully broken through from level 96 to 98!

These two levels were even more challenging than advancing from level 91 to 96!

"Yes, all thanks to Kong! Otherwise, how could I have this opportunity?"

Yu Yuanzhen smiled and then stood up.

"Yes, thanks to the Young Clan Master indeed!"

Dugu Bo nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with Yu Yuanzhen.

Suddenly, Dugu Bo seemed to recall something and murmured as he looked at Kong.

"Yan Yan is twelve this year, and the Young Clan Master is six. 'An older girl marries a younger boy, holding two pieces of gold.' Isn't this a perfect match?"

Thinking this, Dugu Bo's eyes sparkled with golden light!

He resolved to try his luck; after all, where else could he find such a great grandson-in-law? The earlier he invested, the better! Now that Dugu Bo had joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and become the Vice Clan Master, if Dugu Yan and Kong could be a match, wouldn't it be adding kinship upon kinship? Their children might even become the future Clan Masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!While Dugu Bo was lost in his thoughts, a rift in the void suddenly appeared.

In an instant, both Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo's eyes widened in shock, as they had no idea what was happening! The next second, Kong's spirit was embodied, and he transformed into a dragon. His dragon wings flapped as he swooped down to Kong's side and whisked him up to the mountain peak.

Dugu Bo was quick to react as well, and by the time Kong reached the peak, he was already there beside them.

The entire episode lasted no more than three seconds!

Gazing at the void rift, Yu Yuanzhen felt an odd sense of familiarity. It seemed as if he had seen it somewhere before.

The next moment, the rift widened and, to the bemusement of Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo, the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was sucked into the void, leaving behind a kilometer-wide pit.

"My big plot of land...?" Dugu Bo murmured.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was surrounded by mountains, situated in a basin. Basically, it was where the Water and Fire Dragon King had crashed down, smashing a huge mountain into the shape of a rice bowl, which over the ages had morphed into a yin-yang pot.

Yu Yuanzhen had an epiphany! He remembered the void rift that had appeared in the sky when Kong's spirit had awakened! "So it was the deity behind Kong who took away this plot of land."

Yu Yuanzhen thought to himself, patting Dugu Bo's shoulder and looking at Kong.

Dugu Bo, not being a fool, also had his moment of realization after a brief pause. After exchanging a knowing look with Yu Yuanzhen, they both decided to act as if nothing had happened; indeed, as if the event had never occurred!

"Kong, it's been a while since you reached level thirty. Let's go, grandfather will accompany you to find a suitable spirit ring."

"With nothing urgent at hand, and since there's no rush with Yan Yan, I might as well accompany Kong. I am far more familiar with the Sunset Forest than Kong."

Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo said nothing about the disappearance of the land, feeling they already understood what had happened. Asking further would be impolite! Kong himself was somewhat stupefied; even after losing most of her power, Raiden Ei had managed to pull off such a feat—truly incredible!

As Zhang Wuji's mother might say, the more beautiful the woman, the more deceitful she is!

She claimed she had hardly any power left, and then the next moment, she moved the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Kong faintly heard the sound of dragon roars, tinged with a bit of sadness; he didn't know what exactly it was, perhaps the demonic spirits Raiden Ei mentioned.

These somewhat sorrowful dragon roars lasted only a few seconds and then quieted down; Kong had no idea what had happened.

"Traveler, do you need that... what is it, a spirit ring, to advance?"

Just then, Ei's voice echoed again in Kong's mind.

"Yes, that's the rule of this world. When a spirit master reaches a certain level, they need to absorb a spirit ring to advance."

Kong nodded in response.

Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo were somewhat confused. What was up with this kid?

"Having looked into the general's information, the spirit master system of this world is quite interesting."

"Traveler, I have an idea for condensing a spirit ring. Would you like to try it?"

"An idea for condensing a spirit ring?"

After a moment of surprise, Kong nodded and said, "Let's give it a try!"

No sooner had Kong's voice fallen than a bolt of purple lightning struck from the sky, hitting him squarely on the head…
