Chapter 0996: ReMeeting the Sacred Maiden of the Coiling Dragon

Seeing Huang Long’s surprise, Long Cheng smiled and said, “The news hasn’t spread yet, but it should be soon!”
Later, through conversation with Long Cheng, Huang Long learned that this was actually the 3,659th wedding of the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord!
Hearing this, Huang Long felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead.
3,659 times—meaning the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord now had 3,658 concubines!
However, from the words of the younger clan leader of the Golden Dragon clan, Huang Long also understood that the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord had many sons. Although Long Cheng was the younger clan leader, the other dragon sons posed a significant threat. For this grand wedding, all the dragon sons would invite skilled experts to celebrate and boost their prestige.
Moreover, after the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord’s wedding, the Golden Dragon clan would open their sacred site, the Ancient Dragon Ruins, allowing the dragon sons and the invited experts to enter and search for treasures.
This was also why Long Cheng openly invited Huang Long.
“The Ancient Dragon Ruins?” Huang Long was intrigued upon hearing this.
Long Cheng nodded. “Indeed. The Ancient Dragon Ruins is our sacred site and also a forbidden area. It contains countless precious treasures of our dragon clan. It’s very difficult to open it. With our father’s grand wedding and the opening of the sacred site, this is a rare opportunity for us.”
“If the Ancient Dragon Ruins is your clan’s sacred site, then are there Dragon Yang Silver Stones and Golden Dragon Purple Wood there?” Huang Long asked.
“Dragon Yang Silver Stones and Golden Dragon Purple Wood?” Long Cheng looked at Huang Long in surprise.
These were both materials used to craft supreme-grade divine artifacts for the dragon clan. Could he be planning to create such artifacts?! A thought flashed through Long Cheng’s mind.
“Indeed, there are Dragon Yang Silver Stones and Golden Dragon Purple Wood in the Ancient Dragon Ruins!” At that moment, Long Fei, the fifth elder of the Golden Dragon clan, spoke up. “But such precious treasures are usually deep within the Ancient Dragon Ruins!”
Long Cheng nodded. “The Ancient Dragon Ruins is full of dangers, and deeper inside, there are many innate prohibitions. These prohibitions can even trap even the strongest sacred dragons!”
“Trap even the strongest sacred dragons?” Huang Long frowned.
Huang Long indeed needed Dragon Yang Silver Stones and Golden Dragon Purple Wood.
This time, if he could find the Heavenly Goddess Tree, his true body could be upgraded to a superior grade. But to reach the supreme grade, even more materials were required, and they were even rarer.
In particular, the Dragon Gate, a supreme-grade divine artifact, required Dragon Yang Silver Stones and Golden Dragon Purple Wood.
Back at Tianyi Mansion, Huang Long had also inquired about the materials needed to upgrade his true body to a superior grade. He had acquired some and found more on the Ruins Continent and in the Valley of Fallen Demons, but he still lacked precious treasures like Dragon Yang Silver Stones and Golden Dragon Purple Wood.
In the end, Huang Long accepted Long Cheng’s invitation.

Since the Ancient Dragon Ruins contained treasures of the dragon race such as Dragon Yang Silver Stone and Golden Dragon Purple Wood, the Yellow Dragon naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity. After all, treasures like Dragon Yang Silver Stone and Golden Dragon Purple Wood were hard to obtain even among the top ten merchant guilds, and under normal circumstances, it would take countless years to find them. Of course, for the Yellow Dragon to accept the invitation and enter the Ancient Dragon Ruins, he had to ensure Dragon Cheng’s safety and help him acquire more Golden Dragon Magic Beads. This time, the Ancient Dragon Ruins would be open for a year, and all the dragons of the Golden Dragon clan would enter. Whoever found the most Golden Dragon Magic Beads would receive generous rewards from the Holy Lord of the Golden Dragons. Rewards were secondary; whoever found the most would gain significant influence and prestige among the other dragons. Since the Yellow Dragon had agreed to the invitation, Dragon Cheng was very happy and held him in high regard. After all, only the strongest warriors from twelve eras were rarely invited, and having someone like the Yellow Dragon, a warrior from the eleventh era, join him would greatly assist him when entering the Ancient Dragon Ruins. “Although this Jin Guang is only at the peak of the middle stage of the eleventh era, he has the greatest strength and talent among the Golden Horn Giants. He’s probably not much weaker than those from the later stage of the eleventh era!” Dragon Cheng thought to himself. The four of them chatted joyfully as they ventured deeper into the Abyss of Demons. Along the way, the Yellow Dragon asked Dragon Cheng about the Golden Dragon clan and various races in the World of Mighty Dragons. Since these weren’t secret matters, Dragon Cheng naturally didn’t avoid answering them. Meanwhile, the Yellow Dragon also revealed another reason for his visit to the Abyss of Demons. “You’re looking for the Divine Goddess Tree!” Dragon Cheng was surprised. The Yellow Dragon nodded. “That’s right!” “There indeed is a Divine Goddess Tree in this Abyss of Demons,” interjected Long Fa Yi, one of the six elders of the Golden Dragon clan. “Oh?” The Yellow Dragon looked at Long Fa Yi. Long Fa Yi continued, “Millions of years ago, when I first came to the Abyss of Demons, I encountered one, but it wasn’t yet mature.” “An immature Divine Goddess Tree!” The Yellow Dragon frowned. An immature tree was of no use to him. “Then does Elder Long Fa Yi still remember where that tree was?” the Yellow Dragon asked thoughtfully. Although an immature tree was useless, it was still better than nothing. He would first find it, then locate the Vital Soil of All Spirits and plant it there to accelerate the tree’s growth and help it mature in a short time. The Vital Soil of All Spirits, like the Primordial Soil used by Pangu and Nüwa to create humans, was a primordial soil with its own magical effects. Though difficult to find, it should exist among the top ten merchant guilds.

“I naturally remember it, but I don’t know if it’s still there,” said Long Fa Yi.
So, Long Fa Yi led the way, with Huang Long and the other two following, toward the location of the Goddess Tree of Heaven.
“This is it!” More than two hours later, Long Fa Yi brought Huang Long and the others to a verdant divine realm. This realm was mostly plains, with mountains visible occasionally, but none of them were large.
After arriving in this realm, Long Fa Yi continued to lead them south.
After a while, they arrived at a valley. Huang Long saw a tree in the valley—its trunk as graceful as that of a goddess, its branches as delicate as a beauty’s arms, smooth and milky white. On the branches were clusters of flowers, pale red in color, emitting a faint red glow.
It was indeed the Goddess Tree of Heaven!
Huang Long was overjoyed upon seeing it.
But just as Huang Long and the others flew closer to the tree, a sound of breaking wind suddenly came, and five figures approached from afar, arriving in the valley in an instant.
Huang Long, Long Cheng, and the others stopped in their tracks.
Huang Long was greatly surprised upon seeing the newcomers. Among them was Long Yun, the holy maiden of the Coiling Dragon clan! Huang Long never expected to meet this “wretched woman” who had attacked him on the Wasteland Continent again!
Seeing her, a cold smile appeared on Huang Long’s lips.
Back then, he had been hunted by this wretched woman and trapped in the Heavy Divine Space. If it weren’t for his eldest brother Hong Peng, he might still not know if he could escape.
But what was this wretched woman doing in the Valley of Demons? Could it be that she was here for him as well? Huang Long wondered.
