Chapter 296 Preparations (1/2)
Chapter 294 Preparations
In the depths of a particular cave dwelling.
Endless pure Genesis Qi flowed out from the eye of a spring, transforming into a faint mist that swirled around the cave.
Zhou Yuan was silently seated on a boulder beside the spring. The roar of a dragon echoed from inside his body as a powerful suction force spread from his nose. One could only watch as the surging Genesis Qi transformed into white smoke that was sucked into Zhou Yuan's mouth and swallowed into his body.
After doing this several times, the Genesis Qi in the cave became somewhat fainter.
Only then did Zhou Yuan gradually come to a stop. He opened his eyes and looked towards the center of his right palm as he frowned slightly. A lump of heart palpitating scarlet-red sat there like the figure of a slightly sinister dragon.
It was the Dragon's Resentment Poison.
Ever since Zhou Yuan took back the majority of Wu Huang's sacred dragon blessing, the Dragon's Resent Poison in his body had grown stronger. Zhou Yuan could faintly feel that it was more domineering and violent than before.
”The Dragon's Resentment Poison outbreak occurs once every three years, and the next three year date is fast approaching.” Zhou Yuan sighed deeply. Time had pa.s.sed by so quickly, and it was now nearly three years since then.
When the previous Dragon's Resentment Poison outbreak occurred, Zhou Yuan had yet to even unblock his eight meridian channels. In contrast, he was now an Alpha-Origin stage pract.i.tioner, an almighty force in the Great Zhou Empire.
Though he had grown, the Dragon's Resentment Poison in his body was likewise very different from before.
Before it could be fully controlled, it would always be a potential danger.
Zhou Yuan touched his palm as he mumbled to himself, ”It seems that I have to think of a way to make the Dragon's Resentment Poison work for me instead.”
The sacred dragon blessing was contained within the Dragon's Resent Poison. If Zhou Yuan was unable to make the poison fully submit to him, he would be unable to properly bring out its powers. Thus, if he succeeded in this endeavour, it would give him an extremely lethal trump card.
Zhou Yuan pondered about it for a moment before withdrawing his thoughts. There should still be some time before the Dragon's Resent Poison outbreak, and the most important matter he had to deal with currently was still the battle with Cao s.h.i.+.
Cao s.h.i.+ was after all a veteran gold sash disciple and a true-blue fifth layer Alpha-Origin pract.i.tioner. Such strength was not just a little bit better than Lu Feng.
None of the people that could reach this level would be easy opponents.
However, since Cao s.h.i.+ had decided to block Zhou Yuan's way, he had no choice but to step over this stumbling block.
But it must be acknowledged that the other party was an elite amongst the fifth layer Alpha-Origin, someone who boasted overwhelming battle power. Hence, Zhou Yuan know that he could not afford to underestimate this opponent.
While Zhou Yuan was deep in thought, his hands suddenly came together as a ball of light floated out from his palm. Inside was an old book that seemed akin to the rising sun, giving off a scorching aura.
It was the prize Zhou Yuan had received as the champion of the peak selection ceremony, the low grade Heaven Genesis technique, the Heavenly Sun G.o.d Record.
Zhou Yuan senses began to probe the ancient book, only opening his eyes a long time later.
”As expected of a true Heaven Genesis technique, it's going to be extremely complex and troublesome to practice.” Zhou Yuan frowned. The power of the Heavenly Sun G.o.d Record was indeed terrifying, far surpa.s.sing anything a little Heaven Genesis technique could muster. However, the conditions to learn it were exceedingly strict, likewise far beyond the difficulty of the little Heaven tier.
To learn the Heavenly Sun G.o.d Record, one required the a.s.sistance of external resources such as the Nine Suns Crystal, the Heavenly Flames Rock Essence and other similar items. All of them were pretty rare, and it would likely take quite some time to gather.
After giving it some thought, Zhou Yuan kept away the book again. His match with Cao s.h.i.+ was too close, and there was clearly no time to spend on the Heavenly Sun G.o.d Record for the time being.
”It's a pity that the Genesis Marrow Baptism needs two more months of preparation before it will be ready, or I would have been able to reach the next level through it.” Zhou Yuan shook his head regretfully.
The other prize from the peak selection ceremony was the Genesis Marrow Baptism, but since the time was not right, he would not be able to utilise it for now.
While Zhou Yuan was still mulling over the situation, he suddenly heard the sound of faint footsteps approaching. He turned his head, to find Yaoyao gracefully walking over with Tuntun in her arms, while several jade bottles jung from between her slender fingers, giving off clinking sounds with each step.
”I can't believe that you managed to fall into such trouble after a single morning lesson.” Yaoyao's red lips parted slightly as she glared at Zhou Yuan.
