YM778.TV Chapter 67 - 67 Hidden Achievement: Tyrannize Yunmengi
Earlier, Shen Yuan was too taken up with comforting Bai Xue to notice the golden carp that Bai Xue had brought with her.
“Could this thing really exist in the Heart Lake?”
Shen Yuan was filled with doubt and subconsciously turned to look at Yunmeng Dragon Monarch, who knew the Heart Lake best.
Yunmeng Dragon Monarch, who was holding the remnant scroll of Rain Calling Divine Ability, now had an incredulous look in his eyes, continually shaking his head and murmuring to himself:
“How is this possible?”
“How can it exist in the Heart Lake?”
“Is it really..?”
Such an unusual reaction from Yunmeng Dragon Monarch came as a surprise to Shen Yuan.
As the Dragon Monarch who once ruled the vast waters and had spent ten thousand years in the remnants of dreams, ordinary trifles shouldn’t have triggered such an intense reaction.
His unrest was even more profound than the first time he saw Shen Yuan, causing Shen Yuan to sense that something was wrong.
“Dragon Monarch, do you know its origins?”
Shen Yuan’s question snapped Yunmeng Dragon Monarch out of his shock.
Looking deeply at Shen Yuan, Yunmeng Dragon Monarch heaved a long sigh.
“It seems that I have lost this contest.”
Even though he claimed defeat, there was no trace of regret on the face of Yunmeng Dragon Monarch. Instead, he even looked relieved.
Shen Yuan was dumbstruck, and unconsciously assessed the two little beings he had caught once again.
At the time, after seeing Bai Xue, Shen Yuan had lost interest in seeking any precious memories of the Dragon Monarch.
After all, it was unlikely to find any treasure greater than the Heavenly General Great Divine Power in the Heart Lake. Winning was impossible, so he might as well save Bai Xue, who had somehow fallen into the Heart Lake.
Who would have expected that this unintentional action would help him win the contest against Yunmeng Dragon Monarch?
Shen Yuan first checked Bai Xue, who was showing off her small tiger teeth, trying to intimidate the golden carp in a cutely ferocious manner.
This palm-sized kitten was indeed extraordinary, but she did not seem capable of surpassing a Heavenly General Great Divine Power. Hence, Shen Yuan naturally shifted his gaze to the golden carp.
Looking at the carp that was pretending to be dead with dead fish eyes, Shen Yuan’s suspicion deepened.
“Could this fish be worth more than a remnant of the Heavenly General Divine Skill?”
With a wave of his right hand, Yunmeng Dragon Monarch plucked some water from the Heart Lake, shaping it into a round fish tank. He then placed the golden carp into the water.
As soon as the golden carp entered the water, it promptly displayed vigorous vitality, quickly wagging its tail to move forward.
However, the fish tank was merely a handful of water in Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s hand. No matter how much it tried to swim, it couldn’t escape from his palm.
After several attempts, the golden carp seemed to ponder for a moment, then forcibly squeezed out a few tears from its dead fish eyes, preparing to act cute and get through this like Bai Xue did with Shen Yuan.
Despite the golden carp’s unique display and dramatic facial expressions, its dead fish eyes completely contradicted its cute act, making it quite comedic. The golden carp’s actions elicited a slight smile from Yunmeng Dragon Monarch. He reached out to play with the golden carp and said,
“Speaking purely in terms of value, there is nothing in the Heart Lake that can compare to the Rain Calling Divine Ability’s insights.
Whether it is the remnant authority of the waterways, or the methods and divine skills I control, their value can’t be compared to Heavenly General Great Divine Power.”
“But…it is an exception.”
Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s eyes softened, as his gaze seemed to recall something.
“Because, it is my only offspring.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan’s expression became incredibly strange. Although the golden carp in Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s hand was extraordinary, it didn’t seem to share any similarities with Yunmeng Dragon Monarch.
Moreover…
“Didn’t the Dragon Monarch’s descendants already perish ten thousand years ago?”
Instead of giving a direct answer, Yunmeng Dragon Monarch reversed the question:
“Do you know what kind of True Dragon I am?”
Shen Yuan replied: “The Dragon Monarch should be a Mirage Dragon, right?”
“And do you know how our Mirage Dragon race reproduces?”
This question stumped Shen Yuan.
However, Yunmeng Dragon Monarch didn’t seem to expect an answer from Shen Yuan. Instead, he took the initiative to explain:
“There are two ways for the Mirage Dragon to reproduce.
The first is the conventional method, where they mate with other dragon races. The offspring, although possessing the bloodline of True Dragons, cannot truly inherit the talents of the Mirage Dragon, thereby not being considered a complete True Dragon.
The second way is to refine the dream to the extreme, condense one’s essence, qi, and spirit within it to breed an offspring that exists between reality and illusion. It’s the true Pure-blood Mirage Dragon.”
The explanation given by the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch instigated a sudden understanding in Shen Yuan.
Indeed, no wonder the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch claimed the Heavenly General Great Divine Power to be inferior to the golden carp in his own hands. After all, for a dragon sovereign who only had but his dying dream remnants left after a fall of tens of thousands of years, no matter how strong the Rain Calling Divine Ability was, it couldn’t revive him from death.
On the other hand, the golden carp born from within the dreamland, was the only bloodline he left in the world. It was proof that he once ruled over the Yunmeng Swampland.
Therefore, it goes without saying which one is more precious to the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch.
“Before my demise, I always thought about leaving behind descendants.”
“However, even a Mirage Dragon at its peak stage would need thousands of years to procreate, while I was then on my last legs, without any strength to spare.”
“Subsequently, while persevering in maintaining this ten-thousand-year old dream, I tried multiple times to produce offspring, but I was never successful.” “Because the dream power would leak out, after nightfall in Yunmeng village, all the villagers who dreamt would transform into members of the aquatic tribe, walking around at night and causing minor chaos.”
“Originally, I had given up hope; however unexpectedly, I could see the descendants of my bloodline through the Taoist.”
The Yunmeng Dragon Monarch gazed at the golden carp in his hand for a long time, then slowly handed the fishtank over to Shen Yuan. Along with it, he also handed over the incomplete Rain Conjuring Divine Power comprehensions.
“It was the Taoist who caught him, and 1 did say that the Taoist could take what he had caught.”
“This incomplete scroll of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power comprehension should also belong to Taoist since it was what you were seeking. I will hand it over to you as well.”
Shen Yuan furrowed his brows, “I can accept the Divine Power scroll, but I can’t take away your descendant.”
The Yunmeng Dragon Monarch replied with a light smile.
“Taoist, there’s no need to hesitate. Even as a living creature, he shouldn’t remain in this dying dream, he has his own future.”
“Of course, I also admit to having a bit of selfishness in this matter. 1 hope that the Taoist could look after him for me in the outside world.”
Having heard what the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch had to say, Shen Yuan could only accept the scroll and the fish tank, with the golden carp still frantically darting around, trying to find an escape route.
The Yunmeng Dragon Monarch cast one last affectionate look at the golden carp.
In the next instant, the lake of heart they were standing on began to shake, and the whole dreamland seemed to be on the verge of destruction.
The Yunmeng Dragon Monarch, adorned in dark gold attire, gradually began fading away, turning into specks of light.
Shen Yuan’s expression faltered, and hurriedly asked the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch.
“What’s going on?”
The Yunmeng Dragon Monarch showed a trace of melancholy on his face.
“Even as a Mirage Dragon, it’s impossible for me to maintain a dying dream through the tens of thousands of years of Spirit Energy depletion, what’s really supporting this dreamland is the Rain Conjuring Divine Power held by Taoist.” “Only the immortal Heavenly General Divine Power can disregard the rules of Spirit Energy depletion and preserve this nearly immortal dream remnant.” “In these tens of thousands of years, I constantly summoned floods using the Rain Conjuring Divine Power, eventually culminating in this lake of heart that even I can’t control.”
“Now that the Rain Conjuring Divine Power has already been given to the Taoist, it’s time for this dream remnant to end.”
Shen Yuan was shocked, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch.
“Taoist, there’s no need for self-reproach. I did have an advantage in this competition. Despite the circumstances, Taoist managed to defeat me and rightfully obtained the incomplete Great Divine Power comprehension.” “Everything in the world has its own rules that cannot be forced.”
“Moreover… The fact that 1 could see before the end of the dying dream that my bloodline still survives, that is already a great fortune, I can’t ask for more.” The words of the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch left Shen Yuan in silence.
The Yunmeng Dragon Monarch seemed rather accepting and carefree. While his figure gradually faded into specks of light, he pointed to the Divine Power scroll in Shen Yuan’s hands.
“The Rain Conjuring Divine Power held by Taoist, is the fifth one among the thirty-six Heavenly General divine powers, it is the Scroll of the Wind Summoning and Rain Invocation Divine Power.”
“This incomplete Heavenly General Great Divine Power is not a Divine Capacity Seed. Even I can only leave behind a bit of comprehension. If Taoist wants to fully acquire the Rain Conjuring Divine Power, you need to understand the essence of the Divine Power and command the Heavenly General!”
Shen Yuan raised his hands and solemnly bowed to the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch in front of him.
“Farewell, Dragon Sovereign!”
The Yunmeng Dragon Monarch smiled as he completely dispersed into specks of light with the collapse of the dreamland.
Shen Yuan’s figure appeared again in the Dragon Sovereign Temple.
Just then, a clear notification popped up in front of Shen Yuan.
