Chapter 1017: The Golden Dragon Talisman

In fact, all the saints present had already realized it, but since the Golden Dragon Saint Lord didn’t point it out, they said nothing.
The Golden Dragon Saint Lord nodded, gazing at the now-closed cracks of the Primordial Dragon Ruins with a deep gaze, and said, “Hmm. Jin Guang used Pangu’s Transformation Art—his true form is a golden dragon!”
The Flood Saint Lord mused, “Could this person be the Yellow Dragon who killed Tian Dao Sect Lord Xuan and seven of his disciples in the Valley of Falling Demons a few days ago? Rumor has it his true form is also a golden dragon!”
“A Yellow Dragon? It might well be him!”
“If it really is him, should we capture him and hand him over to the Central Saint Lord?”
The saints discussed among themselves.
Although the reward offered by the Central Saint Lord wasn’t much to them, gaining a favor from him was still beneficial.
At that moment, the Golden Dragon Saint Lord raised his hand, scanning the saints, and said coldly, “This isn’t the Central Great World! If you want to flatter the Central Saint Lord, do it in front of him!”
The Flood Saint Lord and the other saint lords stopped, stunned, with displeased expressions.
Yet no one dared to argue.
“Whether this person is the Yellow Dragon or not, since he belongs to our Golden Dragon lineage, he will henceforth be one of our people. Do you still want to capture him and hand him over to that old man in the Central World?” The Golden Dragon Saint Lord emphasized his words, his tone like thunderous roars.
The saints felt their minds shake.
After a while, the Flood Saint Lord forced a smile and said, “Brother Golden Dragon, there’s no need to get angry. We were just joking earlier. As saints, how could we possibly deal with a mere half-saint?”
“That’s right. How could we disregard our status and attack a junior?”
“Yes, yes. Not to mention he belongs to the Golden Dragon lineage. He’s already at the early stage of the twelfth era—his strength is likely no less than that of a peak half-saint in the later stages of the twelfth era. He has great potential. Who knows, maybe one day he’ll achieve sainthood like us, adding another saint to our Golden Dragon lineage!”
“Then the Golden Dragon clan will become the greatest clan in the World of Mighty Dragons!”
“Congratulations, Brother Golden Dragon!”
The Flood Saint Lord spoke, and the other saints followed suit.
Laughter filled the air.
The Golden Dragon Saint Lord turned back, laughed heartily, his voice shaking the heavens, “Good! You said it well. Those flattery words really pleased me—I like it!”
The Flood Saint Lord and the other saints turned red in shame.
Meanwhile, the elders of the Golden Dragon clan couldn’t help but laugh.
While the Golden Dragon Saint Lord and the others were talking, Huang Long and the other five entered the Primordial Dragon Ruins. In an instant, light flashed before their eyes, the world spun, and they found themselves above a ruin.

This ruin is different from the Land of Ruins. The Land of Ruins is inhabited by various fierce beasts and demons, with a chaotic depth, while these ruins before us are utterly desolate, filled with broken walls and barren land. With the Yellow Dragon Heavenly Eye open, an area of a billion miles comes into view. Beneath the Yellow Dragon Heavenly Eye, hidden dragon beasts emerge one after another. Within this Ancient Dragon Ruins, there are three major dangers: first, these dragon beasts, which have undergone countless ages of cultivation and mutation, possess immense strength, some even rivaling those of the powerful beings from the Twelve Eras. The second danger is the innate prohibitions, which can even trap saints. The final danger is naturally those who entered together with Huang Long, such as Qing Cang and others. “Brother Jin Guang, should we look for the Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl first?” Long Cheng asked, seeking Huang Long’s opinion. He knew that Huang Long’s main goal in coming here was to find the dragon clan’s treasures like the Dragon Yang Silver Stone and the Golden Dragon Purple Wood. “Let’s look for the Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl first!” Huang Long pondered before saying. The main reason these dragon descendants entered the Ancient Dragon Ruins this time was to compete for the Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl. As for the Dragon Yang Silver Stone and the Golden Dragon Purple Wood, Huang Long wasn’t in a hurry; with a year to explore since the opening of these ruins, he had plenty of time to find them. “Good, then let’s look for the Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl first!” Long Cheng was overjoyed at Huang Long’s decision. Immediately, Huang Long and the five others began searching for the Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl. Before long, Huang Long led Long Cheng and the others to above a lake. Under their puzzled gazes, Huang Long reached out into the void above the lake, and soon a pearl the size of two fists emerged from it. It was golden yellow, with a smooth surface that shone with an enchanting light. Dragon energy radiated from it, forming spirit beings resembling small dragons around it. “The Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl!” Long Cheng exclaimed in delight upon seeing it. He was most familiar with this pearl. The other three also stared in astonishment at it. With a wave of his hand, Huang Long sent the Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl to Long Cheng. Taking it, Long Cheng rejoiced, “It’s indeed the Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl! Brother Jin Guang, how did you know there was a Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl in this lake?” Beyond his joy, he was as surprised as the others as to how Huang Long had accurately located it. Huang Long smiled and said, “Young Clan Leader Long Cheng needn’t know. As long as it’s the real Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl, that’s enough. What do you think, Young Clan Leader Long Cheng?” Long Cheng was momentarily stunned before smiling and saying, “True, Brother Jin Guang is right!” “Let’s go!” After saying that, Huang Long led Long Cheng and the others to search for the next Golden Dragon Dharma Pearl.

After a while, the five members of the Yellow Dragon appeared above a canyon. The Yellow Dragon took a photo of the canyon, and under the astonished and delighted gazes of Long Cheng and the others, a Golden Dragon Dharma Bead broke through the toxic mist in the canyon and flew out.
…
Half a day passed, and night fell.
The night sky of the Primordial Dragon Ruins was just as starry as the outside world.
A sound of breaking through the air came from above a forest, and five people appeared—none other than the Yellow Dragon and Long Cheng’s group. They arrived above the forest. The Yellow Dragon pointed, and a beam of golden light flashed. The ground beneath the forest split open, and a Golden Dragon Dharma Bead flew out from the crack.
Long Cheng repeated the process, caught the Golden Dragon Dharma Bead, and then stored it in his spatial artifact.
“The eighteenth! It’s already the eighteenth! Brother Jin Guang, if this pace continues, it won’t be long before we’ve collected all the Golden Dragon Dharma Beads in these Primordial Dragon Ruins!” Long Cheng exclaimed in excitement.
Every time the Primordial Dragon Ruins opened, it contained around a thousand Golden Dragon Dharma Beads.
At this rate, within two months, all the Golden Dragon Dharma Beads in the ruins would fall into Long Cheng’s hands! Even in just one month, he would surely take first place!
Now, Long Cheng felt incredibly lucky to have been able to recruit the Yellow Dragon to enter the Primordial Dragon Ruins together!
And so, half a month passed.
Half a month later, the number of Golden Dragon Dharma Beads in Long Cheng’s spatial artifact reached 361—one-third of those in the Primordial Dragon Ruins.
Over the past half month, the Yellow Dragon and his group had encountered many powerful dragon beasts, but they were all easily defeated by them.
However, they hadn’t run into Qing Cang, Gu Han, or any other dragon descendants.
A total of thirteen dragon descendants entered the Primordial Dragon Ruins this time.
The journey went smoothly.
But the smoother it was, the more vigilant the Yellow Dragon became.
It was like the calm before a storm.
