Albert nodded. Without a sufficiently powerful Heavenly Dragon Bloodline to sustain it, no one would be reckless enough to attempt evolving a Heavenly Dragon Soul. Naturally, almost no one could make use of this tempering secret art.“Grandfather, please pass this secret art to me!”A faint smile crossed Thomas’s stern old face. “I have no issue teaching it to you, but rules must be followed… ten thousand Dragon Essence.”Albert’s eyes widened.Thomas said slowly, “I’m not taking advantage of you. This secret art is worth far more than that.”Albert pouted, then replied firmly, “Ten thousand it is! But I don’t have it right now. Put it on credit!”The forty thousand Dragon Essence he’d won from the Ascension Trial wager was already spent completely. He had nothing left, so credit was his only option. Thomas did not know whether to laugh or cry. This boy really had an incredible thick skin. Over all these years, no one had ever dared ask him for credit. Still, his asking price of ten t

Though the Heavenly Wolf clan ranks below the Dragon race among spirit beasts, it is still one of the top clans. Yet in Thomas’s eyes, this Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf’s bloodline was not especially pure. It likely had no powerful connections within its clan, meaning it would almost certainly never reach the Nine-Tailed form through its own power.Light flickered in the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf’s eyes. It understood Thomas’s warning and subtle reminder. After a brief hesitation, it lowered its wolf head until it touched the ground.“I shall keep your teachings in mind, my lord.”Thomas nodded. He had known about the Five-Tailed Heavenly Wolf before, but had merely seen it as a tool for Albert and paid it little mind. Recently, however, he had learned that the wolf had repeatedly helped Albert escape disasters. Whether it did so willingly or not, if it chose to submit and sincerely become Albert’s helper, Thomas was willing to lend it a hand for Albert’s sake.“The Five-Tailed Heavenly

The sound of piercing air rushed forth from behind. The five thousand Dragon Tooth Guards cut through the sky, speeding swiftly away from the city of Heavenly Dragon.Once they passed beyond the great formation shielding Heavenly Dragon Ridge, Albert sensed a heavy weight descend over heaven and earth. He lifted his gaze and beheld the vast Boundary River reappearing before his eyes.The Boundary River hung high in the firmament, distant and unreachable, yet it blocked the view as if splitting the sky in two.The thunderous roar of flowing water echoed across every corner of the Boundary River Domain.This marked Albert’s first time leaving Heavenly Dragon Ridge since arriving in this domain. He glanced all around, taking in the magnificent landscapes. Countless streaks of light darted through the air, their bearers hunting for Foundation Establishment Spirit Treasures or rare materials.Clashes and bloodshed broke out among them, even battles between God Realm experts.Malicious crea

Freya smiled and said, "Word has it this was the plan of our Fifth Uncle. When Kelly was born, he used a secret art to seal away her natural talent, waiting for the day this seed would bloom and bear fruit. That is why he barely brought Kelly back to Golden Dragon Mountain all these years, letting her mother raise her in the remote Outer Divine State."Finn exclaimed in shock, "Such a method is simply inconceivable!"If Kelly’s current compatibility with the Ice Saint Seed stemmed from this secret art, it was nothing short of terrifying.Freya paused for a moment and said calmly, "It is possible our Ancestor lent a hand in this matter too."Finn’s eyes widened in utter horror. He knew full well the Ancestor she referred to was Sovereign Hill.Finn spoke hoarsely, "Young Second Miss, why share all this with me?"Freya smiled, "I merely want you to pass this information along to your grandfather. Some affairs are best left untouched, lest you end up in eternal ruin."Finn fell silent fo

The Boundary River water they channeled at the Boundary River Starfall Platform carried malice aura. It had to go through layers of purification before it could become Star Pearls.Angel nodded and said gravely, “The water in the Golden Stone Abyss also hides malice aura. Golden Stone Clams absorb this water year-round, so they easily accumulate the malice and… turn into fiends.”“Stay alert while harvesting pearls. Some Golden Stone Clams may spew forth not golden pearls, but… evil creatures instead.”“Every time the water tide surges in the Golden Stone Abyss, many cultivators fail to gather pearls and end up devoured by these corrupted clam fiends.”“Form teams of two Hundred Guards each for the harvest. Emily will command three Thousand Guards. Tamara and Albert will each lead one Thousand Guard. If powerful fiends or rival raiders appear, form battle formations and strike without delay.”A formation made by two Hundred Guard units of the Dragon Tooth Guards can stand against a 1-
