Chapter 0568: Heading to the Divine Wasteland

The Divine Beast Materials Market is located to the south of the central area of Tianjie. Compared to other regions, it is much noisier, with a constant stream of people, giving one an overwhelming sense of activity.
Huang Long led Warner and a dozen others to explore the Divine Beast Materials Market for half a day, visiting hundreds of shops, but found nothing significant, leaving Huang Long somewhat disappointed.
As they passed a small Divine Beast Materials shop named “Xiao Tiandi,” Huang Long stopped, hesitated for a moment, then entered the shop. Warner, Na Zhen, and the others exchanged glances before following Huang Long in.
“Sir, may I ask what materials you’re looking for? Although our Xiao Tiandi Divine Beast Materials Shop isn’t large, we do have quite a few fine items!” The shop owner greeted them with a bow and a flattering smile as soon as they entered.
The shop owner was a middle-aged man with ahandlebar mustache beard, his smile insincere as his eyes narrowed. Huang Long nodded and glanced around the shop.
It was a strange feeling—passing by this shop, Huang Long always sensed something calling to him. Though he didn’t believe such a small shop could have anything related to the Chaos Divine Dragon, he still entered.
As the shop owner said, the shop wasn’t large, only two to three hundred square meters, but it did have quite a lot of items—divine beast materials from lower, middle, and upper ranks, covering all categories. There were even divine essences of beasts with the strength of peerless warriors, which made Huang Long glance at the shop owner more closely.
However, the shop owner’s strength wasn’t high; he was only at the later stage of the eighth level of the upper divine realm. Seeing that Huang Long hadn’t spoken, the shop owner continued to smile and stay by his side.
Suddenly, Huang Long’s eyes sharpened as he scanned the walls of the shop. He stopped in his tracks and stared at a prominent spot on the wall, where hung an object resembling a long whip—about three to four meters long, as thick as an arm, covered in patterns, dark gray in color, with a thick head and a thin tail.
As Huang Long approached the object, the feeling of being called grew stronger in his heart.
Seeing Huang Long suddenly stop and walk toward the object, the shop owner smiled and said, “Sir, this is the long whisker of a high-grade divine beast that we purchased from a peerless warrior a few years ago.”
“A high-grade divine beast’s whisker?” Huang Long asked, already making plans in his mind.
“Yes, sir,” the shop owner replied with an even wider smile. He could tell that this dark-haired warrior was interested in the whisker of the high-grade divine beast.
“What kind of high-grade divine beast?” Huang Long asked.
“It’s the whisker of the Chaos Primal Beast, the Fire Cloud Lion, a peerless warrior!” the shop owner quickly replied.

The Chaos Primal Beast Fire Cloud Lion’s whisker? The shopkeeper gave the Yellow Dragon a meaningful look, and upon seeing his gaze, the shopkeeper became somewhat panicked.
“How many divine stones?” asked the Yellow Dragon.
“One hundred billion! Just one hundred billion will do!” The shopkeeper, relieved that the Yellow Dragon wasn’t asking further questions, quickly replied, thinking the price was reasonable since it was indeed the whisker of the Chaos Primal Beast Fire Cloud Lion.
“Old man, who do you think you’re fooling? The whisker of the Chaos Primal Beast Fire Cloud Lion? Do you think we don’t know what that is?!” Lu Den, the leader of Cloud Gate Peak, glared at the shopkeeper.
Warner and the others also stared at him, clearly realizing the shopkeeper was bluffing. Chaos Primal Beasts were already rare, let alone the king among them—the Fire Cloud Lion. Of course, comparatively speaking, the Fire Cloud Lion wasn’t as formidable as the Yellow Dragon’s mount, the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale.
The shopkeeper, with a pained expression, argued, “Sir, although this whisker isn’t from the peerless powerhouse Chaos Primal Beast Fire Cloud Lion, its rarity is no less than that of its counterpart. We even had legendary-level alchemists and blacksmiths of the highest rank evaluate it.”
“What if I say nine hundred and fifty billion? I paid over nine hundred billion when I bought it from that peerless powerhouse. You can’t expect me to lose money, right?” the shopkeeper pleaded urgently.
Before Warner and the others could respond, the Yellow Dragon waved his hand and said, “I’ll buy it.”
The shopkeeper had been waiting for them to lower the price, as this so-called divine beast whisker had actually cost him eight hundred billion. Hearing the Yellow Dragon agree to buy it, he was stunned for a moment before breaking into a smile. “Yes! At a glance, I can tell you’re someone who can achieve great things. I’ll pack up this Fire Cloud Lion whisker for you right away.” With that, he hurried inside the shop.
The Yellow Dragon shook his head and smiled. What did this have to do with achieving great things?
In truth, even if the price was nine hundred billion, nine trillion, or nine hundred trillion, the Yellow Dragon would still buy it.
This whisker wasn’t from the Chaos Primal Beast Fire Cloud Lion at all—it was a whisker from the Chaos Divine Dragon!
That’s right, a whisker from the Chaos Divine Dragon!
The pure dragon energy hidden within the whisker could be sensed by the Yellow Dragon. However, it was broken—apparently just a small fragment of a whisker. Yet even such a fragment from the Chaos Divine Dragon was worth far more than nine hundred billion.
The Chaos Divine Dragon was a supreme divine king!
An item belonging to such a being was priceless and certainly not something that could be bought with divine stones.

Soon, the shopkeeper came out, carrying a delicate jade box. He carefully placed the long beard inside the box, then approached the Yellow Dragon with great caution before presenting it to him. The Yellow Dragon found the shopkeeper’s cautious manner amusing and handed over the divine stone. Upon receiving the stone, the shopkeeper bowed even lower, becoming even more respectful. He asked the Yellow Dragon if he needed anything else. The Yellow Dragon shook his head and then asked, “Did the seller say where he got this long beard?” The shopkeeper was taken aback by this question. After recalling, he said, “It seems he said he got it from the Divine Wasteland.” “The Divine Wasteland?” The Yellow Dragon nodded and asked a few more questions before leaving the shop with Warner and the others. After the Yellow Dragon and his group left, the shopkeeper turned around, jumped up, and kissed over and over again the space ring containing over 90 billion divine stones, murmuring, “Haha, I never expected to meet such a lucky guy! I’m rich now!” Buying for 80 billion and selling for 95 billion—surely a huge profit! Sometimes, one couldn’t earn this much in a month or even a year. After leaving the shop, the Yellow Dragon did not stay in the Sky Street any longer. He led Warner and the others toward the teleportation array. Warner and the others followed behind him, unsure what to say. They really couldn’t understand why their master had bought the long beard despite knowing it wasn’t from the legendary beast, the Chaos Primal Lion. Moreover, after buying it, he immediately headed back via the teleportation array. “Could it be that our master went to the Divine Beast Material Market just to buy this unknown beast’s beard?” Warner thought to himself. He shook his head and then remembered how the Yellow Dragon had spent 310 trillion to buy that unnamed divine tree at the auction. The Yellow Dragon was aware of their thoughts but didn’t explain them to them. Through the teleportation array, the Yellow Dragon and his group returned to the Manhai Mountains on the surface. However, instead of returning to the Moer Mountains, he took Warner and the others to the Divine Wasteland. Seeing the Yellow Dragon take them there, Warner and the others guessed it must be related to the unknown beast’s beard, as the shopkeeper had said the beard was found in the Divine Wasteland. Of course, although they guessed the trip was related to the unknown beast’s beard, they couldn’t figure out the exact purpose. The Divine Wasteland was located north of the Kale Continent, adjacent to it. The Yellow Dragon didn’t rush. He mounted his mount, the Wind-Flame Dragon Lin Zherom, and flew with Warner and the others. When Warner and the others saw the Yellow Dragon summon the Wind-Flame Dragon Lin, they were naturally astonished.

The true king of these chaotic primordial beasts—the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx—they recognized him. They never expected their master to have one, and the aura emanating from Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx Zerom made them feel pressured. Although Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx’s cultivation progress was slow due to limitations of his true form, over the years, with the help of the Yellow Dragon Elixir and especially the Divine Liquid refined from the Yellow Dragon, he had long since reached the level of an unparalleled warrior. After emerging, Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx naturally roared to the sky and let out some grumbling noises. Over these hundred thousand years, he had mostly cultivated inside the Immortals’ Pavilion and rarely came out. Of course, in front of the Yellow Dragon, he dared not complain. After coming out, Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx Zerom quickly became close to Warner and the others. Of course, over these hundred thousand years, his rowdy nature had diminished quite a bit. Along the way, Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx and Warner recounted some amusing stories from his time with the Yellow Dragon, which filled Warner with envy. Especially when he learned that Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx had only been a mid-tier god hundreds of thousands of years ago and later, with the help of the Yellow Dragon, rose to become an unparalleled warrior, he was even more astonished, envious, and even jealous. Of course, Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx dared to tell Warner these things only because he had the Yellow Dragon’s permission; otherwise, not even with a hundred times the courage would he dare. “Back in the day, my master and I…” was Zerom’s opening remark. With Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx around, the journey wasn’t so dull. Half a month later, as the Yellow Dragon and the others were flying, suddenly, a strong surge of power was detected ahead. “Master, there’s a fight going on ahead!” said Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx Zerom, his eyes glowing. The Yellow Dragon shook his head with a smile and patted him: “Then go take a look.” “Sure!” As soon as Zerom heard the Yellow Dragon’s words, he rushed toward the site of the fight, raising a cloud of dust. Warner and the others exchanged glances and hurried after him. It wasn’t long before the Yellow Dragon and the others arrived at the scene. Upon arrival, the Yellow Dragon was somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect the fighters to be the two women from the Skarn family he had met in Tianjie who had competed with him for the Chaos Stone, while the other side consisted of five members of the Lanbo family. One of them caught the Yellow Dragon’s attention—he had seen her at the auction; she was a beautiful woman from the Lanbo family. “Yev, Rola, you’d better hand over the item,” said the beautiful woman from the Lanbo family calmly. “Tch!” spat the girl in green angrily. “Don’t even think about it, Mary! If you have the guts, kill us! We won’t hand it over!”
