Chapter 394 - 327: Facing the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable?
Rewards One and Three need no words, let’s skip them directly.
The eyes of Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi immediately fell upon Reward Two.
Golden Apple.
For Chen Nuoyi, who possesses only an Immortal Spirit Root, the Golden Apple might be an unfamiliar term, but for Su Yuan, he couldn’t be more aware of the value contained in this term.
Although the Golden Apples borne by the Senluo Spirit Root have all turned back into nourishment for cultivating Spiritual Roots.
But Su Yuan could feel that in every Golden Apple borne by the Senluo Spirit Root, there existed golden, even Colorful Level, Divine Techniques.
Such is the case for his Golden Apple, and naturally, it is the same for the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable’s Golden Apple.
However, what surprised Su Yuan was the fact that Golden Apples could be given away.
He always thought that these things could only be internally consumed.
This discovery also made Su Yuan contemplate some darkness that might exist in the Ancient Cultivation Realm.
In that era, the technology for transplanting Spiritual Roots and Talent was immature, and it was as difficult as climbing to the heavens for the offspring of noble families to enhance their cultivation talents.
But if they could capture a wild genius with a Divine Spirit Root, then they could completely imprison them and, after they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, increase talent by harvesting the golden apples of this genius.
There is a limit to the number of Golden Apples that a Divine Spirit Root can bear.
But even with the few there are, it’s enough to forcibly flood out a peerless talent with the various golden and colorful Divine Techniques contained within.
It’s easy to imagine that wild geniuses with Divine Spirit Roots from the Ancient Cultivation Realm often had tumultuous lives.
Fortunately, naturally awakened Divine Spirit Roots are extremely rare, and in the three hundred plus years since the revival of Spiritual Energy, such geniuses have almost never appeared.
I’ve digressed, but in summary, the preciousness of Golden Apples is unquestionable, an absolute must-choose option.
The only thing Su Yuan regrets is the quantity of Golden Apples.
There is only one, not enough to go around!
It is said that this thing is just like Demon Fruits, effective after the first bite, become useless after.
Su Yuan thought seriously, then turned to the girl beside him and said earnestly:
"Nuoyi, later you should eat this Golden Apple."
"The innate Divine Techniques borne by the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable should assist you in accepting his inheritance afterwards."
Chen Nuoyi was slightly stunned, hurriedly waved her hand, and said:
"I did nothing in this stage, it was all your effort, so the reward of clearing it naturally should go to you."
Su Yuan: "Listen to me, just eat it."
Beside them, Long Bai saw this scene, with a slight surprise in her beautiful eyes.
’Su Yuan looks quite selfish and profit-driven, can’t believe he’s this concerned about those around him.’
’This is the Golden Apple borne by that biological father of mine, he bore a total of ten Golden Apples, of which five were given to the geniuses of the Human Race, and out of those five, three reached Divinity Transformation...’
’Such a valuable reward, and he just says no without hesitation?’
[Long Bai’s Favorability: (150/200)]
Listening to Long Bai’s innermost thoughts, Su Yuan secretly pouted.
Handing over a Colorful Level talent is not his style naturally.
The reason he doesn’t want this Golden Apple is simple... he’s worried about being influenced by the righteous power within the Golden Apple.
Every Golden Apple borne by a Divine Spirit Root contains Divine Techniques that would change according to the nature of the Spiritual Root and the temperament of the owner of the Spiritual Root.
Take Su Yuan for instance.
When he first broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, his first Golden Apple contained some righteous character, but as his Demon Dao attainments furthered, the Divine Techniques contained within his Golden Apples would only become more evil.
So, what kind of person is the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable?
A pure living saint of the Human Race, Su Yuan worries about being purified if he eats the Golden Apple of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable.
So, indeed, it is more appropriate for Chen Nuoyi, who hasn’t cultivated much in Demon Techniques, to eat the Golden Apple.
Besides, if the Divine Techniques in the Golden Apple are useful, can’t he just extract it through the Human Pill Technique for himself?
Of course, that doesn’t need to be said aloud, otherwise Long Bai’s favorability would plummet.
After Su Yuan repeatedly insisted, Chen Nuoyi just agreed to it.
And made a promise with Su Yuan that, no matter what the clearing reward for the final stage is, it must belong to Su Yuan, not allowed to refuse.
After choosing the reward, a golden, lustrous apple with slight purple-gold veining appeared in front of the two.
After asking about the usage of the Golden Apple, Chen Nuoyi didn’t dilly-dally, and took a bite.
The fist-sized golden apple instantly transformed into a golden Spiritual Spring, sweetening the girl’s throat.
Su Yuan also immediately pulled up Chen Nuoyi’s abilities panel.
[Chen Nuoyi: Vice Sect Leader of the Primordial Sect]
[Loyalty: 100%]
[Special Abilities: Purple Gold Dragon Qi (Primordial True Inheritance Version) (Colorful) Dragon King Bloodline (Colorful) Dragon’s Stomach (Golden) Cloud Following Dragon (Purple) Five Dragons Celestial Heart Sword (Golden) Dragon’s Eye (Purple) Dragon’s Breath (Purple) Dragon Armor (Golden)]
[King’s Aid Demon Index: 13798/10000]
[Today’s Fate: 66]
[Contribution Points: 31779]
points of Luck Value? Unassigned and such a high Luck Value, it seems Miss Chen will be quite lucky today.
Su Yuan thoroughly reviewed Chen Nuoyi’s dense talents and found one more golden talent than before, Dragon Armor.
But it was obvious that this wasn’t the talent brought by the Golden Apple, but rather the dragon scales on the girl that could be retracted and released at will during the Dragon Saliva Pool bath.
However, within a few seconds, a new talent appeared on the ability panel.
[Victorious Fighting Emperor (Colorful): Passive Divine Techniques, the closer to death, the stronger the power.]
There was little description of this Colorful Talent, but as the saying goes, the fewer words, the greater the matter. The last time a talent was described so briefly was Qi Hanyan’s ’Wuji’.
The more severe the injuries, the stronger the ability to fight, right?
How is this different from those world bosses in some games?
But after thinking it over, Su Yuan felt that this talent was still somewhat inferior to ’Wuji’.
After all, Wuji’s ability could be applied in various aspects, while the Victorious Fighting Emperor talent could only be used in combat.
How many times in a lifetime does one encounter such life-threatening battles?
Though even if encountered once, this talent would be invaluable, in daily life, this talent would rarely be triggered.
What does this imply?
It implies that the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable’s original family background wasn’t that great either.
In his Foundation Establishment Stage, his situation forced his Spiritual Root to have to form such a talent.
It’s just a pity that Old Deng didn’t know how to cherish it and insisted on saving the Golden Apple for Human Race Cultivators.
But this also proves Purple Gold Old Deng’s prowess, as even without eating a Golden Apple, he could still achieve Divinity Transformation.
In conclusion, as long as Su Yuan takes the time to absorb from Chen Nuoyi a bit, storing one or two ’Victorious Fighting Emperor Pills’, the two of them can share this talent; it doesn’t matter who consumes it.
Su Yuan closed the ability panel, but saw Chen Nuoyi still digesting the power within the Golden Apple with closed eyes.
The girl was emitting a faint golden glow, appearing sacred and noble.
It took more than half an hour before she slowly opened her beautiful eyes and eagerly informed Su Yuan of the effects of the Victorious Fighting Emperor Divine Techniques.
Su Yuan responded with a few words of surprise, then faced Long Bai, inquiring about the content of the final challenge.
Long before choosing the Golden Apple as the reward, Su Yuan had heard Long Bai’s heartfelt wishes.
Although he hadn’t learned specific information about the fourth challenge, Long Bai seemed confident that the two of them could pass this final challenge, so Su Yuan wasn’t worried about its difficulty.
Long Bai slowly said:
"Compared to the low margin of error in the first challenge, and the potential life-threatening possibilities in the second and third challenges, the fourth challenge is relatively simpler."
"The theme of the fourth challenge is ’Future’!"
Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi were both startled: "Future?"
The ice-haired Lolita nodded slightly and then explained:
"When the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable established this inheritance, he already knew the Immortal Tribulation was imminent."
"He also knew that the Cultivation Realm would experience a revival after enduring a hundred thousand years of the End of the Dharma Era, but what he was unclear about was how the world would be a hundred thousand years later, and whether the Human Race would still be the main character under heaven."
"For this reason, he specially sealed a part of his Divine Sense within this inheritance."
"Through those who pass the first three challenges, they can directly communicate with his Divine Sense, and he will determine through the future depiction by the examinees and their Guardian whether to pass on the inheritance to you."
Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi both felt a chill in their hearts.
Directly conversing with a Divinity Transformation Demon Saint?
Even though it’s only a remnant Divine Sense of a Demon Saint, it is a tremendous opportunity!
After all, as per Taibai Phecda and others, the Blue Star Federation has never truly conversed with an Ancient Divinity Transformation Great Power.
Especially the thirty-six Divinity Transformation beings of the Human Race, they are very likely to know the real inside story of the Immortal Tribulation.
Although the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable is not among the thirty-six Divinity Transformation beings of the Human Race, given his relationship with the Human Race, might he also know some important information?
They must ask well.
Su Yuan was already contemplating, if he could obtain first-hand information about the Immortal Tribulation, could he sell it at a high price to the Evil Extermination Sword Sect?
How many Contribution Points would he earn then?
Three thousand? Five thousand? Or even more?
However, after a brief moment of excitement, Su Yuan felt a bit of tension arising in his heart again.
The Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, after all, is an antique existing since ancient times.
Such an old man always tends to be conservative; what if he can’t accept the modern cultivation realm where the Demon Dao runs rampant?
Would he, in a fit of anger, kill both him and Chen Nuoyi?
If the Divine Sense of the Divinity Transformation involves itself personally, even Wu Luo True Monarch guarding outside the Dragon Corpse might not have time to intervene.
Seemingly noticing their nervousness, Long Bai comforted:
"No need to be afraid, my father has always been as lenient to the Human Race as possible."
"Even if you stand in front of him and say you want to wipe out the entire Dragon Race, he wouldn’t get angry, he might even hand you a knife..."
When saying the last sentence, the ice-haired Lolita’s tone inevitably sounded filled with gritted teeth.
The two pondered for a moment, then chose to enter the fourth challenge.
Having come this far, they couldn’t really just turn back in defeat.
Long Bai waved her little hand, and their figures were once again pulled by the Power of Space, appearing in a new environment in the blink of an eye.
Beneath their feet lay an ice-blue sphere, approximately one kilometer in diameter.
With a slight perception, Su Yuan understood where they were.
They were on Long Bai’s Dragon Pearl.
