Chapter 265: 20: The True Unicorn Jade of the Black Dragon
A slender and winding black giant dragon perched atop towering mountains, resting its dragon claws on the hillside, revealing a touch of disdain in its ferocious head with purple vertical pupils , even speaking in a human tongue: “A mere human in the Golden Core Realm, fit for discussing terms with me?” The deep voice reverberates throughout the mirror world.
This black dragon obviously looks down on Zhao Huai and is not interested in the trade he mentioned, completely dismissing him.
Zhao Huai wasn’t annoyed, his expression calm, nonchalant, “Though I may not be as tall as you, I can still trap you here for thousands, tens of thousands of years, from which you can never escape, forever and ever.”
“Hahaha! ! ”
The dragon’s roar bubbles, a deafening sound, as if it had heard something hilarious.
“What makes you think you can trap me for so long? As long as you die, this broken mirror will lose its power. So, do you think your life will be longer than mine?”
“Do you know the lifespan of a Demonic True Dragon?”
The arrogant vertical pupils of the black dragon carry deep meaning.
Zhao Huai understood what he meant.
The implication is that his life is long enough to wear him down.
Demons have always had a longer lifespan than the human race, and a single ordinary little demon’s lifespan is a hundred years long.
A transformed monster has a lifespan comparable to that of a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm.
For flood dragons and black dragons like this one, the emperors among
demons, their lifespan is calculated in tens of thousands of years.
It is possible that a thousand years is just their infancy.
However, Zhao Huai did not lose heart, for everything in the world is fair, and where there are strengths, there must be weaknesses.
Although the human race doesn’t live as long as the demon race, the Heavenly Power has bestowed upon them exceptional cultivation talent.
The demon race cannot match the cultivation speed of the human race.
As long as the human race cultivates, their lifespan will increase with their cultivation.
After a slight pondering, Zhao Huai smiled, “In your eyes, am I just a Golden Core cultivator, destined only to be this way?
Upon hearing this, the black dragon sneered, “Even if you break through to the Rebirth Realm and cultivate to the Metamorphosis Stage, in my eyes, you’re still nothing but a slightly stronger ant.”
Zhao Huai had no reaction to the mocking words, but simply said nonchalantly:
“Oh? Is that so? Are you that certain I can’t cultivate into an immortal?” “Rely on you? To become immortal?”
“Then I, Ao Jiu, would have reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Power long ago.”
The black dragon, as if hearing a joke, scoffed.
“Instead of dreaming big, you might as well let me go sooner, so I can take my revenge on that old fisherman!”
Zhao Huai indifferently said, “If you don’t believe me, I can’t force you. The question is, do you dare to bet?”
He could see it now.
This black dragon was more anxious than he thought, having been trapped for a thousand years, like an injured beast, if it had to be trapped for ten thousand more years, it would go mad.
So, he is actually the one with the initiative.
Therefore, Zhao Huai continued, “Not to mention becoming immortals, even cultivators passing superior tribulations have lifespans of tens of thousands, a hundred thousand years. With your temperament, how long could you stay here?”
“I’m not afraid to tell you, I, Zhao Huai, am only twenty-six, yet now I have already entered the Eighth Stage in Golden Core Realm. Do you think I can’t cultivate to the Rebirth Metamorphosing Realm within a thousand years?”
Upon hearing Zhao Huai’s words, the black dragon couldn’t help but fall silent.
He had just tried a hundred ways to humiliate and strike Zhao Huai, trying to crush him and make him fear.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn’t fall for it.
He wasn’t foolish; the young cultivator in front of him, capable of activating the ancestral weapon, must be a descendant of Ancestor Yan Zu, and his talent must be extraordinary.
Reaching the Eighth Stage in the Golden Core Realm doesn’t mean that he will necessarily become someone like Human Immortal Ancestors, or become immortal, but this young man does have the potential to cultivate to the level of passing superior tribulations, with a lifespan of up to ten thousand years. It also cannot be ruled out that he would join the Ninth Stage in the Golden
Core Realm.
Because after Forming Core, there are ways to continue refining the Golden Core.
The young man guessed right; he couldn’t really bet on it.
He couldn’t possibly be trapped for ten thousand more years.
Even if he could live that long, he would go mad.
Seeing the black dragon’s appearance, Zhao Huai knew he had guessed right, so he chuckled:
“You might as well listen to the content of my trade, and refuse after I’m done.” “You speak, ” the black dragon opened his mouth reluctantly, crushing the pride in his heart, curious about what tricks this descendant of Yan Zu could play.
If he were to propose anything like helping him as a mount, or becoming his road guardian, he would refuse outright.
He had many enemies, Ancestor Yan Zu being one of them, and since this young man was a descendant of Yan Zu, he was also his enemy.lf it weren’t for Ancestor Yan Zu’s meddling, he would have been roaming the Heaven and Earth long ago.
He wouldn’t have been imprisoned for hundreds of years.
Zhao Huai looked at the black dragon’s giant body and said with bright eyes, “Do you have any treasures similar to the ten -thousand-year flood dragon gall on you?”
“What do you want to do?”
The black dragon’s ferocious dragon face asked vigilantly.
“I need a very precious primer to forge the sword guide for my life-bound flying sword. If you have it, you can give it to me.” “What will I get?”
The black dragon’s vertical pupils were quite sharp.
“As an exchange, I will set you free when I cultivate to the Metamorphosis Stage. ”
Zhao Huai smiled gently and said softly.
His smiling face was just like a peddler selling sugar-coated haws to children, saying ‘buy one, get one free’.
Upon hearing this, the black dragon immediately began to ponder.
This young cultivator did not make any excessive demands, like assisting in guarding the road, he only needed a sword guide?
Could a sword guide be exchanged for his freedom?
He glanced at Zhao Huai’s qi and root and bone condition, which were already better than many human cultivators he had seen.
Based on the cultivation trajectory of other cultivators.
With this trend, this young man should be able to break through to the Rebirth Metamorphosing Realm in a few hundred years.
In other words, he could be free in a few hundred years?
Upon thinking about this, the black dragon couldn’t help but feel that it would be a very worthwhile deal.
He looked at Zhao Huai again and asked with a hum:
“What if you go back on your word! ”
Zhao Huai’s face turned serious, raising three fingers and solemnly said, “If I break my word and do not release you at the Metamorphosis Stage, I shall die under the Heavenly Tribulation later and be unable to transcend for all eternity.”
The black dragon nodded silently upon hearing this oath.
This was more like it.
At least the kid’s words had a little credibility now.
It is worth noting that for cultivators, unfulfilled regrets, unfulfilled promises, and unresolved inner demons will all turn into karmic power after the Metamorphosis Stage, manifesting as thunder tribulation and Taoist tribulation during the tribulation crossing.
This is a kind of punishment for cultivators.
After all, during the process of ascending the immortal path, there are very few people who are guilt-free. Most of them will die under the heavenly tribulation because they owe too much.
Therefore, in the Immortal Cultivation World, cultivators try their best to fulfill their oaths.
For example, the Limitless Immortal Sect Hierarch got involved in too many karmic consequences that did not belong to him, especially Ancestor Yan Zu’s schemes, and a large amount of karmic power entwined him, turning into thunder tribulation, causing such a great figure to die under the Heavenly Tribulation.
So, this oath is quite significant.
Enough to influence Zhao Huai.
The black dragon hesitated for a moment, then tore off a large, black fish scale-shaped hard piece from his body.
“This dragon scale is enough.”
The black dragon said so. The dragon scale is as big as half a person.
He believes that his dragon scales should be enough for the sword guide.
This is the pride of being a dragon.
Just thinking about coping for the moment.
Who would have thought that Zhao Huai shook his head and said faintly:
“Not enough.”
“Not enough? Kid, don’t be ungrateful. Do you know the value of my dragon scales? Even cultivators in the Rebirth Metamorphosing Realm would be scrambling for it,” the black dragon snorted coldly.
“I know, but you just want to exchange a random dragon scale for freedom, isn’t that too cheap?”
Zhao Huai laughed softly, his eyes clear and his heart pure.
“What do you want?”
The giant dragon’s mouth opened wide, and the black dragon’s purple vertical pupils were very impatient.
“I want the true unicorn on your body, the ten-thousand-year true unicorn jade.”
Zhao Huai said with a light smile.
“True unicorn?!”
The giant body of the black dragon soared into the sky, shocked and furious.
