Chapter 79: Entering the Dream (2)

“Thank you!” Yan Chuan nodded.

At this moment, Azure Dragon once again radiated waves of blue light. In the distance, two energy avatars sped toward them, arriving in the blink of an eye and gradually dissolving into pure energy that circled around Azure Dragon. He formed a seal with his hands, and the energy in his body began to condense, slowly shaping into a colossal blue divine dragon, ten yards long. The form of the blue dragon grew clearer and clearer, until finally it appeared almost exactly like a true dragon—its features sharp and distinct. Though it lacked the domineering presence of Yan Chuan’s Golden Dragon Will, it was vivid and lifelike.

White Tiger’s eyes sparkled with delight.

“Roar!” The ten-yard blue divine dragon suddenly let out a resonant dragon’s cry, filled with boundless joy.

With a thunderous boom, the blue divine dragon formed from pure energy plunged into Azure Dragon’s body. The aura around him immediately contracted.

“Congratulations, Elder Brother, for finally mastering the Azure Dragon Technique and manifesting the Azure Dragon!” White Tiger offered his congratulations.

Mo Yuxi also cast a satisfied glance his way.

Azure Dragon returned to his usual demeanor, naturally beaming with happiness.

Suddenly, Azure Dragon bowed respectfully to Yan Chuan. “Thank you, Master Yan!”

“That you were able to comprehend the form of the dragon is a testament to your own insight,” Yan Chuan replied with a smile.

“No, I have practiced the Azure Dragon Technique for years. Though I could shape a dragon, it was never truly a dragon. I could never fully manifest it, because I had never seen a real dragon—only imagined it, which is extremely difficult. Without Master Yan, who knows how long I would have had to wait?” Azure Dragon said earnestly.

“That is your own destiny,” Yan Chuan smiled.

Azure Dragon had only needed a final push to form the dragon; Yan Chuan’s Golden Dragon Will was merely a catalyst, so Yan Chuan did not take credit.

“Not only that, without Master Yan, my energy might have been drained by the Nightmare. Your great kindness needs no thanks. In the future, should you ever need my help, simply call upon me!” Azure Dragon declared solemnly.

“You exaggerate,” Yan Chuan replied.

“It is no exaggeration; it is only right!” Azure Dragon immediately laughed.

Yan Chuan nodded gently.

“My body is not well. I will rest for a while and not trouble you any further,” Yan Chuan said, looking somewhat weak.

“Master Yan was injured because of me. Is there anything I can do to help? I have Heart-Nourishing Pills here!” Azure Dragon offered quickly.

“No need, they won’t help. I just need some rest,” Yan Chuan replied with a smile.

“Sage, about the demon stag we captured last time, could we…?” Azure Dragon looked hopefully at Mo Yuxi.

“It’s yours to handle,” Mo Yuxi nodded.

She reached out, and with a wave of her wide sleeve, a massive block of solid ice appeared before everyone. Clearly, Mo Yuxi also possessed a spatial artifact.

Inside the ice was a giant stag, three yards tall, mighty and magnificent, its body adorned with dazzling colors. Sadly, it was only a corpse, sealed within the ice.

“This is a stag king at the peak of the Qi Realm. It is a token of my appreciation. I hope Master Yan will not refuse,” Azure Dragon said solemnly.

“Peak of the Qi Realm?” Yan Chuan raised his brows slightly.

The beasts he had eaten recently had all been of the lowest grade—merely beasts from the Essence Realm. The stag before him was an entire grade higher, and at the very peak of the Qi Realm!

Beast cultivation was difficult, mostly focused on strengthening the body. As their cultivation advanced by a level, the energy stored within multiplied geometrically.

Peak of the Qi Realm?

“Very well. Huo Guang, take it. This giant stag will be divided among the three thousand soldiers—make sure they train diligently!” Yan Chuan instructed.

“Yes!” Huo Guang replied eagerly.

Even beasts of the Essence Realm had benefited Huo Guang greatly. What would a beast from the Qi Realm provide—especially one at its peak? Just a mouthful of its flesh would surpass countless meals before!

“I will divide the stag meat for everyone!” Azure Dragon immediately volunteered.
