Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

by Translator: Yeow

  Cang Yuan looked at Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao with a ruminative smile, which made them blush.

  “Master.”

  “Grandpa Hei.”

  Cang Yuan nodded with a smile. Zhou Yuan pointed to Zhuan Zhu and Chi Jing and introduced them to Yaoyao.

  Yaoyao nodded at them. Although she wore a slight smile, she couldn’t conceal her coldness and aloofness. But it was normal. In the whole world, she only cared about Zhou Yuan, Cang Yuan and Tuntun and it was difficult for her to pay attention to other people.

  If Zhuan Zhu and Chi Jing hadn’t taken good care of Zhou Yuan, she perhaps wouldn’t even smile at them.

  But Zhuan Zhu and Chi Jing didn’t seem surprised about her attitude, nor did they feel offended. After all, they already knew about Yaoyao's identity.

  "Yaoyao, I’m relieved that you have finally awakened,” exclaimed Cang Yuan.

  He has been hiding for years ever since he stole Yaoyao, who was in the divine stone. During that period, he not only had to be on guard against Saints from all-heavens but also had to deal with the Sacred Race. The danger and what he sacrificed during that period was simply indescribable.

  Fortunately, his many years of hardship finally draws to an end.

  Yaoyao had regained her consciousness and the Saints from all-heavens likely wouldn’t target her anymore. Even supreme sovereign Wan Zu had to restrain himself, which means Yaoyao was temporarily safe in all-heavens.

  Yaoyao said softly, "It's been difficult for Grandpa Hei all these years.”

  She of course knew that Cang Yuan had been in hiding all these years and exhausted himself to protect her.

  "I watched you grow up and I have no children, so in my eyes, you are like my daughter. I will protect you no matter what." Although Yaoyao had an important identity, Cang Yuan’s feelings towards her weren’t purely due to her identity.

  “Also, you also know that it’s not only been hard on me.” Cang Yuan cast a smiling glance at Zhou Yuan.

  Yaoyao nodded gently.

  Cang Yuan asked Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao, “What are your plans next? I might return to the Omega Shrine to clarify some matters.”

  Although many Saints supported him when he took away Yaoyao, he didn’t abide by the rules and so he wanted to resolve some matters. Moreover, he wanted to find out the Omega Shrine’s attitude towards Yaoyao.

  Zhou Yuan only came to Hunyuan Heaven to help awaken Yaoyao; therefore, he had achieved his goal of coming.

  Zhou Yuan turned to look at Yaoyao for direction, not too concerned.

  Yaoyao pondered for a moment and said, “I plan to ask Zhou Yuan to take me around Hunyuan Heaven and then we will go to Wanshou Heaven to bring Tuntun back.”

  “Why don’t we head to Wanshou Heaven now?” asked Zhou Yuan. Tuntun must need help if he sent a message to him.

  “There’s no hurry.” Yaoyao shook her head. “Just let that guy suffer a little first.”

  She blinked at Zhou Yuan with a mischievous smile, which made Zhou Yuan a little surprise. Yaoyao was helping him get revenge because Tuntun was too arrogant and even dared to tell him to be his bodyguard!

  Zhou Yuan couldn't help straighten his chest and stood up tall. It seemed that his status was a little higher than Tuntun!

  But his expression immediately turned strange. I have to compete with a pet?

  Zhou Yuan was filled with joy and sorrow at the same time.

  Cang Yuan nodded and solemnly reminded, "Yaoyao, although your seal is broken, you should still try to use as little power as possible…Given your identity, the Saints of all-heavens should give you face.”

  While speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yuan and his expression made Zhou Yuan aware of something.

  It was of course the divinity that existed in Yaoyao's body.

  Zhou Yuan's heart sank, but there was nothing he could do except continue to improve his strength.

  A faint light flashed in Yaoyao's eyes, but she didn't say much and just nodded. “I will.”

  Cang Yuan didn’t say anything more on this. Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao were no longer young and inexperienced. Given their strength, they could explore all-heavens themselves.

  "Then we will part ways here. If you encounter danger, you can crush the bamboo slip I gave you. I will know right away." Cang Yuan reminded Zhou Yuan.

  After seeing Zhou Yuan nod, Cang Yuan flicked his sleeve and mighty power rolled in and engulfed the rest of the people. They all vanished in a flash.

  Zhou Yuan looked at Yaoyao with a smile, “Are we going to spend some romantic time just the two of us first?”

  Yaoyao darted a glance at Zhou Yuan, whose eyes were filled with joy, and the corners of her lips curved upwards a little. "Do you really think I simply want you to take me around Hunyuan Heaven?”

  Zhou Yuan felt something wrong and said, “Is that not it?"

  Yaoyao said indifferently, "Although it’s not bad that you managed to reach the Nascent Source stage in just a few years, your knowledge in the Ancestral Dragon Scripture I gave you is only half a bucket full. Therefore, I will give you some special training so you have a deeper understanding of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.”

  Zhou Yuan’s face scrunched up bitterly and he wailed in his heart. He thought they were going to spend some sweet time with just the two of them, But it seemed that he was wrong and it was going to be a special hell-like training!

  It turned out they both had different ideas!

  Chapter 1224 Live off Women

  For the next half a month, Zhou Yuan traveled around Hunyuan Heaven with Yaoyao. They walked across mountains, crossed rivers and vast seas and passed through grand cities.

  They saw many wonderful sights and tasted many fine wines along the way.

  The trip reminded Zhou Yuan of when he left the Great Zhou Empire for the first time and rushed to the Saint Remains Domain with Yaoyao and Tuntun. That trip was full of memories.

  The special hell-like training he imagined didn’t happen. Although Zhou Yuan was relieved, he was disappointed at the same time.

  Perhaps Yaoyao was too shy and didn’t want to admit she wanted to travel around Hunyuan Heaven with Zhou Yuan.

  Zhou Yuan felt a little proud and delighted when he thought about this.

  But, sadly, his little proudness was completely destroyed after half a month.

  ...

  In a remote mountain in the middle of nowhere.

  In the mountains were many Genesis beasts exuding fierce auras. But at that moment they all shrunk back and dared not make the slightest noise.

  This was because of a beautiful figure in the mountains.

  Yaoyao gazed at the mirror-like lake in the depths of the mountains. She suddenly smiled and said softly, “This place is nice.”

  Zhou Yuan cast a puzzled glance at her.

  But Yaoyao didn't care and just extended her fingers and flicked gently.

  Boom!

  The lake began to vibrate and soon Zhou Yuan saw lava gushing out from the depths of the lake, shocking him. In less than a moment, the mirror-like lake had become a lava lake. It emitted intense heat that caused the air to twist and distort

  Lava constantly piled up on top of each other, during which many unusual materials were spurted from the underground and merged with the lava.

  A huge lava cauldron gradually took shape. Its inside was like a lava ocean.

  Yaoyao constantly flicked her slender fingers, and as space rippled, several ancient Genesis Runes formed in the air and were engraved on the cauldron.

  Suddenly, the lava ocean undulated wildly.

  Zhou Yuan didn’t feel good when he saw this because the lava inside the cauldron felt dangerous to him even if he possessed the Saint Glass Body.

  “What are we doing?” Zhou Yuan asked cautiously.

  A hint of teasing flashed across Yaoyao's bright and beautiful eyes, "Do you think the special training I talked about is just a joke?

  “Also, have you retrieved your Sacred Dragon Blessing enti
rely back yet?”

  Zhou Yuan nodded. ”We saw Wu Yao in the Great Wu capital. I also fought her in Hunyuan Heaven and got back the one she snatched from us that King Wu took. However, I still haven’t got back the one on her.”

  Yaoyao pondered for a moment and remarked, "Wu Yao is indeed beautiful and she radiates an extraordinary elegance. It must be impossible for a man to fight her.”

  Although she spoke casually, Zhou Yuan sensed a hint of danger. He immediately corrected her. "Nonsense, I have never seen a woman more beautiful than you.

  "I haven't retrieved her one because the supreme sovereign from the Wushen Region stopped me. Later on, I had a chance but I chose not to take it.”

  Zhou Yuan scratched his head. He indeed could have taken the Sacred Dragon Blessing back from Wu Yao in Guyuan Heaven, but he didn’t do so because he felt Wu Yao would likely die. At that time, they had just joined forces and it would be inappropriate to suddenly attack her.

  Moreover, he didn’t hate Wu Yao as much as he hated King Wu and Wu Huang.

  He must retrieve the Sacred Dragon Blessing but he planned to do it later because he could feel that Wu Yao was gradually moving away from her dependence on the Sacred Dragon Blessing. She chose to walk her own path.

  Therefore, it was only a matter of time.

  This could be considered as repaying supreme sovereign Wu Shen.

  Yaoyao looked calmly at Zhou Yuan.

  Zhou Yuan suddenly said with a smile, “Are you jealous?”

  He only said that to make fun of Yaoyao, but she actually nodded seriously. “A little.”

  Zhou Yuan opened his mouth in disbelief but he was inwardly delighted and couldn’t help smiling.

  Yaoyao continued to fiddle with the lava cauldron and said in a seemingly indifferent voice. “If I’m in a bad mood the structure of the cauldron could go wrong and it could burn someone.”

  Zhou Yuan shuddered, saying bitterly, "What should we do?”

  While setting up the lava cauldron, Yaoyao tilted her head. "Say something to make me feel better.”

  Zhou Yuan blinked and smiled inwardly. He took a step forward and gazed into Yaoyao’s clear and distant eyes, "Your eyes are beautiful. There are mountains, rivers, lakes, sun, moon and stars hidden inside…But my eyes are better because you’re reflected inside.” Zhou Yuan’s voice was hoarse but full of affection.

  Zhou Yuan felt he charmed even himself.

  But he found Yaoyao was still staring indifferently at him as though saying, ‘What else?’

  Zhou Yuan’s complacency turned to apprehension. He wailed in his heart, So hard to please!

  He could only let out a sigh and said sorrowfully, “why don’t you beat me up.”

  A hint of a smiling expression spread over Yaoyao’s face as she said, “This methods a bit better, what was that just now.”

  As though accepting death, Zhou Yuan closed his eyes. “Then hit me!” while muttering in his heart, It seems that the wife won’t listen to the husband, but it doesn’t matter. I should bear it for now and wait till the day I change my fortune and become the master!

  As incessant thoughts streamed through Zhou Yuan’s mind, he smelled an aroma in front of his face. Then, he felt a cold sensation on his lips as though he touched a jade stone.

  His eyes snapped open and he gazed in surprise and delight at the girl in front of him.

  But Yaoyao didn't glance at him and just stared intently at the lava cauldron while constantly striking ancient Genesis Runes into it.

  Zhou Yuan touched his lips and blinked repeatedly. "Did you kiss me just now?”

  Yaoyao continued to ignore him.

  Zhou Yuan looked upset. Why did I close my eyes?

  However, his heart was filled with joy. Yaoyao is clearly very satisfied with my affectionate words but she acted like she didn’t care. She’s…so cute.

  The lava cauldron suddenly erupted with vibrating noises. Waves of berserk energy spread frantically and stirred the Genesis Qi across the world.

  Yaoyao exhaled deeply. "You have reached the Nascent Source stage, but the Genesis arts you have cultivated aren’t considered high level. The only one that is considered a Saint Genesis art is the Rainbow Sky Severing Gourd, which is a fusion of the seven Cangxuan arts. You lack high-level Genesis arts.”

  Zhou Yuan didn't know what to say. In truth, the Genesis arts he cultivated weren’t bad and Yaoyao just had high standards and even ordinary Saint Genesis arts were ordinary to her.

  “Of course Saint Genesis arts are good to have, but I haven't had the opportunity to cultivate them. There were some in the Tianyuan Region, but I didn’t have time to cultivate them because of the Guyuan Heaven’s matter.”

  Yaoyao smiled slightly. "The Tianyuan Region’s Saint Genesis arts may be good, but you already have the greatest treasure, so you don't need to search that far.”

  “What do you mean?” Zhou Yuan was taken aback

  Yaoyao shifted her gaze to Zhou Yuan, saying, "The Ancestral Dragon Scripture I gave you is the first art of the world. You have cultivated grade-8 Heavenly Dragon Qi, but you haven’t discovered the complementary Genesis arts it contains.”

  "The Ancestral Dragon Scripture?" Zhou Yuan exclaimed. He had developed some of the Genesis arts from the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, and although they weren’t bad, they couldn’t quite become his trump cards.

  "What you cultivated before can't be considered as complementary Genesis arts of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, but only some derivative arts.”

  Yaoyao tilted her head slightly with a smile.

  “Most people won’t find them in the Ancestral Dragon Scripture because I need to unlock it first.”

  Zhou Yuan'seyes widened. He eventually stroked his face with difficulty to comfort himself and exhaled. It's okay, I like to live off women!

  Chapter 1225 Lava Cauldron

  “Alright, that’s about enough.” Outside the lava lake, Yaoyao observed the fully formed lava cauldron for a moment before lightly clapping once. She gave a little upward jerk to her chin and said, “Mm, go in.”

  Zhou Yuan gazed at the lava cauldron which seemed to contain a vast sea of lava. Lava heaved within it, creating giant waves as extremely terrifying undulations pulsed.

  He could not help but swallow repeatedly.

  With the toughness of his body, he would not receive any damage even if he were to swim in lava. However, this lava cauldron was clearly not so simple. Yaoyao had inscribed numerous ancient, cryptic Genesis Runes on it which surely served to amplify the lava’s power.

  Although his life should not be threatened, there was definitely going to be a lot of suffering if he entered.

  Yaoyao said, “This Earth Core Thousand Flame Cauldron can refine and purify your Heavenly Dragon Qi. It will also deepen your connection with the Heavenly Dragon Qi, and when that happens, it will be your best chance to dig out the Genesis arts within.

  “Tuntun’s current capabilities should be pretty good. If even it is forced to seek you out for help, the problems waiting for you should not be trivial. Hence, you need to improve your combat capabilities.

  “With me around, Saint stage existences will maintain our unspoken agreement of not interfering. However, it will not be appropriate for me to interfere either below that level.”

  Zhou Yuan nodded. The big bosses should stick to their roles and intimidate each other, while the fights should be left to the underlings.

  Yaoyao reminded, “The Ancestral Dragon Scripture is filled with endless profound wonders, which naturally includes Genesis arts. However, these arts are also categorized into different ranks. How strong or weak the Genesis art you manage to dig out will still depend on you.

  “These Genesis arts from the Ancestral Dragon Scripture have another advantage: they will have a high affinity with you. You will be able to understand them in the fastest possible time, and there will be no need to continuously try to comprehend and polish them like other Saint Genesis arts.”


  Zhou Yuan’s heart shook a little. Saint Genesis arts had insane power, but were also famously difficult to master. From what Yaoyao had said, the Saint Genesis arts he dug out from the Ancestral Dragon Scripture would be much easier to learn for him.

  “I’ll be going in then.” Zhou Yuan composed himself as he cast his gaze at the lava cauldron. He moved, turning into blur as he shot directly into it.

  He entered the cauldron and found another separate domain inside. A sea of endless lava roared ferociously, thousands of waves rising and falling.

  Zhou Yuan could not help but wet his lips. He had personally watched Yaoyao create the cauldron earlier. From this, one could see how terrifying the current Yaoyao had become.

  If she wanted to, it would not be a problem to exchange blows with a Saint expert.

  “It seems that I’ll have to work hard.” Zhou Yuan sighed. He had originally believed he could at least relax a little after stepping into the Nascent Source stage. However, Yaoyao’s current strength made him feel a growing pressure.

  Moreover, Yaoyao’s divinity was still a thorn in his heart. Zhou Yuan understood that he currently did not have the qualifications to probe about it because he wasn’t strong enough yet.

  He would perhaps need at least the power to challenge the Saint stage before he could begin to influence the future a little.

  Various thoughts swirled in Zhou Yuan’s head, but were ultimately pushed aside by him. He cast away his hesitation and jumped down, creating a big splash of magma with a loud plop.

  When Zhou Yuan entered the lava, ancient Genesis Runes began to emerge on the cauldron’s walls. Countless runes spread, reaching into the lava sea.

  Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan felt an endless heat surge towards him from every direction. The intensity made even his Saint Glass Body turn red-hot. Pain washed over him, making him grimace a little.

  However, he was no longer some ignorant greenhorn. He immediately suppressed the pain and seated himself as he began to circulate the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.

  Roar!

  Boundless platinum Genesis Qi rushed in his body like a raging river as a faint dragon roar echoed, accompanied by a unique pressure.
