I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 432: Dragon Amber (2)

As soon as Lu Heng finished speaking, Jiu Mie promptly released Lu Heng with a swoosh, slipping away so smoothly that even Lu Heng couldn't manage to grab hold of the old ascetic cultivator's arm.

Later, the venerable monk looked at Lu Heng and solemnly said, "Friend, let's not make jokes. The well-being of the world is paramount. In that case, since you have concerns, let us reconsider our plans."

"I and my dear friend, Candle Dragon, will soon be roaming around three immortal islands, discreetly inspecting possible locations where the River Map and the Luo Book might be located. Meanwhile, my friend, you will maintain a facade of deference with the Dragon Emperor."

"Once we find the River Map and the Luo Book, or confirm that the River Map and the Luo Book are indeed not on the island, the three of us will immediately depart, without any delay What do you think? A sensible suggestion like this, my friend should surely embrace, shouldn't you?"

Jiu Mie wore a sincere expression on his face.

Lu Heng stared at him and said, "How can I trust that you will truly search diligently? Instead of intentionally dragging it out to deceive me?"

Candle Dragon immediately raised his finger and declared, "I, Candle Dragon, solemnly swear here and now that if I don't earnestly search for the River Map and the Luo Book, but instead deliberately delay and harm my dear friend, may the heavens strike me with lightning, ensuring my untimely demise!"

As the voice of Candle Dragon fell, a deafening rumble sounded from the sky, followed by three consecutive thunderbolts resounding through the air.

The terrifying thunderclap resounded, almost echoing throughout the entire Penglai Island.

In the courtyard, however, there was a subtle calmness.

Both Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie looked at Lu Heng simultaneously, only to see him wearing an innocent expression on his face and saying, "It wasn't me."

Amidst the suspicious gazes of Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie, Lu Heng innocently declared, "It truly wasn't me, I assure you! I didn't summon this thunderbolt!"

With a skeptical expression, Jiu Mie said, "If it wasn't you, my dear friend, then this Dragon Island No! Amidst the vastness of the world, who else could command the thunderbolts?"

Candle Dragon also exclaimed, "Indeed! Though those cultivators from the Thunder Roar Realm can command the winds and thunder, and delve into the study of thunder punishment, they are fundamentally incapable of breaching the forbidden domain of heavenly thunder. Throughout the entire realm of myriad heavens and worlds, you, my dear friend, are the sole existence capable of wielding the power of heavenly thunder."

The two of them stared at Lu Heng, wearing expressions that seemed to say, "What else do you have to say?"

Lu Heng, in a focused state, sensed for a few moments and perceived the exact location from where the heavenly thunder was summoned. He declared, "The thunder originates from that direction! If you don't believe me, see for yourselves!"

Saying so, Lu Heng ascended into the sky and pointed towards a massive floating solitary island in the distance.

On that solitary island, there now hangs a hazy and ethereal blush-colored mist, appearing resplendent and imbued with a delicate feminine aura.

However, as Candle Dragon ascended into the sky and caught sight of the pale blush-colored mist, a subtle change took place in his countenance. He uttered, "Has this Dragon Emperor truly gone to make the Dragon Amber?"

With Candle Dragon's discerning eye, he immediately recognized that the hazy mist enveloping the secluded island was the extraordinary manifestation of the successful refinement of the Dragon Amber Secret Elixir.

As Candle Dragon stood beside him, Jiu Mie looked at the suspended solitary island with a mix of astonishment and uncertainty. He exclaimed, "A legendary divine medicine that can attract three heavenly thunders? This must be the pinnacle of all divine artifacts in the world!"

At this moment, both Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie turned their gaze towards Lu Heng. A slight hint of concern appeared in their eyes.

Candle Dragon suggested, "Perhaps we should depart for now Or, Friend Lu Heng, would you consider leaving first?"

Jiu Mie also remarked, "Indeed, old wolf. If you don't leave now, you may never be able to leave afterward."

The concern of these two mischief-making friends is not feigned.

Upon seeing this, Lu Heng's heart warmed slightly, and he then smiled and said, "This Dragon Amber must have been refined for countless years, whereas we have only arrived here a few days ago. It is unlikely that it was intended solely for me."

"What a remarkable individual the Dragon Emperor is. Although she did make a solemn vow of marriage in the past, I believe she would not resort to using this Dragon Amber against me."

"The majestic Dragon Emperor, how could she possibly engage in such a despicable act? Even if she were to marry, it would undoubtedly be an honorable and righteous path, and she would never stray onto the path of evil."

In the void, Lu Heng wore a brilliant smile, brimming with unwavering confidence.

As Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie beheld his confident demeanor, they both shook their heads.

Candle Dragon said, "My intuition tells me that trouble is imminent."

Jiu Mie also said, "My intuition confirms the same."

The two exchanged a glance and said, "But Friend Lu Heng refuses to heed advice"

"That can only leave him to his own devices and wish him good fortune"

"After all, the one who will lose his virginity"

"is not the two of us"

"It's just a pity for Xiao Ai"

"Moreover, the disciples of the Hanyu Mountain"

"Indeed, the disciples of the Hanyu Mountain"

"They will all suffer the painful loss of their revered master"

"Yes, their beloved master"

"Hmm, their cherished love"

"Alas, Hanyu Mountain"

"Lament, the Wolf God Lu"

In the void, the words of Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie intertwined seamlessly, exhibiting an unparalleled harmony of coordination.

Lu Heng couldn't help but laugh and cry as he said, "It's a pity that you both don't pursue a career in comedic storytelling It's not as grave as you make it sound."

"Moreover, even if something truly goes awry, don't we still have each other? The three of us weather storms together, advance and retreat together. Who in this world could harm me under your watchful eyes?"

The soulful interrogation of Lu Heng caused a momentary hesitation in both Candle Dragon Jiu Mie.

Shortly after, the two of them burst into laughter and simultaneously reached out to pat Lu Heng on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Exactly! We're good friends, how could we possibly deceive you?"

"That's right! With the two of us here, we guarantee your safety Hehehe"

Above the courtyard, Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie burst into laughter.

On a distant isolated island, Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya, donned in majestic dragon-robes, stood before a alchemical furnace. She gazed upon the furnace, which had just withstood three relentless strikes of heavenly thunder, leaving it shattered into fragments. However, she felt no trace of regret.

With a casual gesture, she conjured three lustrous, pink pills from the ashes of the alchemical furnace.

With the appearance of these three pills, there emerged a captivatingly sweet fragrance in the air.

Upon witnessing this scene, the elderly dragon kneeling respectfully by her side breathed a sigh of relief and hastily proclaimed, "Fortunately, I have not disappointed Your Majesty. After refining for seven hundred and thirteen years, I have finally succeeded in producing the exquisite Dragon Amber that Your Majesty requested"

The words of the elderly dragon startled the contemplative Dragon Emperor, bringing her back to awareness.

As she looked upon the three pills gently lying in her hand and listened to the respectful words of the elderly dragon, the purpose behind the arduous process of refining these pills came to mind. In this moment, even Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya, who had diligently cultivated for thousands of years, could not suppress her overwhelming excitement.

She held the three pills in her hand, murmuring, "Now that the Dragon Amber has been refined, it seems that I can finally embark on a journey to the secret realm."

Taking a deep breath, the Dragon Emperor carefully stored away this painstakingly refined premium elixir that even attracted three heavenly thunderbolts. She proclaimed, "The long-cherished aspiration of the thirteenth generation Dragon Emperor may finally be fulfilled in my hands"

Standing on the precipice, overlooking the abyss below and the distant colossal immortal island, Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya's expression was filled with an unprecedented sense of excitement.

This very moment, she finally stood at the pinnacle that none of the previous Dragon Emperors had ever reached.

With the assistance of this premium Dragon Amber, the long-sealed secret realm of the dragon clan will soon transform into a smooth path beneath her feet!
