Seeing the confusion on the Golden Dragon's face, Guan Yue smiled and said, "I have come today to challenge you."
The Golden Dragon looked at Guan Yue with amusement and ignored him.
Guan Yue continued, "Senior, I have come specifically to seek your guidance. Please do not hold back."
"Go away, you are far from my match. Come back after cultivating for ten thousand years," the Golden Dragon spoke, its voice reaching Guan Yue's eardrum without any sound waves.
"Senior, then let me strike you three times. If you can withstand my three strikes, I will turn around and leave immediately. I will never disturb your cultivation again," Guan Yue proposed. He did not believe that the Golden Dragon could withstand his three strikes.
The Golden Dragon laughed, looking quite adorable as its eyes and nose scrunched up together. "Little one, I have a request as well. If I can withstand all three strikes, then you cannot take anything away from here."
Guan Yue was delighted upon hearing this and immediately agreed.
The Golden Dragon chuckled, "You little thing, still so proud. Are you that confident?"
Guan Yue replied with a smile, "Senior, I am about to make my move. First strike: Mountain-Shaking Energy."
With that, Guan Yue pushed his hands forward, instantly creating a swirling vortex of energy around the Golden Dragon that resembled a tidal wave. The Golden Dragon's small eyes widened in surprise; how could this child possess such monstrous energy?
The Golden Dragon waved its small claws but was forced to retreat repeatedly by the energy summoned by Guan Yue. It had no choice but to move both hands in a continuous flow to barely block Guan Yue's attack.
However, at this moment, the Golden Dragon's gaze towards Guan Yue had become noticeably serious.
Suddenly, Guan Yue drew out the Golden Sword Initiator, causing the Golden Dragon's eyes to widen in disbelief: this child actually possesses an Origin Tool? How could Old Man possibly defend against that? It seemed Old Man would have to borrow it for a moment.
The shock within the Golden Dragon was beyond measure.
An Origin Tool is considered a precious treasure even in the Heavenly Court! How could it end up in this child's hands? If it weren't for the Great Power protecting him, Old Man would have thought of seizing this Origin Tool!
Seeing the Golden Dragon's serious expression, Guan Yue knew it was ready and struck down towards it.
Golden Dragon made a sudden shift, blocking the entire White Mountain between himself and Guan Yue. As Guan Yue swung his sword, he split the entire White Mountain Foot in two. Seizing the moment when Guan Yue's Golden Sword landed, Golden Dragon immediately struck, attempting to send Guan Yue flying. However, his strike landed directly on Guan Yue's body, and to his surprise, Guan Yue did not evade but allowed himself to be hit. Yet, despite the impact, it felt as if he had struck an indestructible mountain, unyielding and immovable, resulting in a significant recoil.
Guan Yue angrily remarked, "Senior, you're being shameless."
Golden Dragon replied with a wry smile, "In warfare, deception is essential; any means can be used in battle. This is what we call strategy! Child, go ahead and make your move; let me see what powerful technique you have for your third strike."
With a cunning smile, Guan Yue said, "I don't believe you can dodge my third move."
Golden Dragon chuckled lightly, "You won't know until you try." Truthfully, after the previous two moves, Golden Dragon was genuinely unsure of what other tricks Guan Yue might have.
As Golden Dragon focused intently, the world around them began to change dramatically. Mountains soared into the air one after another, all pressing down upon Golden Dragon, continuously piling on top of him and trapping him in a confined space. Furthermore, Guan Yue utilized the Spatial Lock ability to completely seal off this area.
At first, Golden Dragon watched with amusement as Guan Yue executed his plan without feeling much pressure. However, when Guan Yue activated the Spatial Lock, Golden Dragon realized too late that he had truly been locked down by Guan Yue.
Immediately, Golden Dragon soared upward and launched a fierce attack against the locked space. He continuously changed his techniques but still saw no results. The locked space gradually shrank; feeling utterly hopeless, Golden Dragon found himself powerless against this confinement!
As Guan Yue compressed the space toward Golden Dragon, he only stopped when it was reduced to about one meter in size.
Laughing heartily, Guan Yue said, "Senior, how about now? What treasures can you offer me?"
Fuming with anger, Golden Dragon retorted, "What kind of fortuitous encounter did you have to possess such overwhelming energy? It's not any weaker than our dragon clan's power—if anything, it's even greater."
With a hearty laugh, Guan Yue replied, "I'll tell you: I have obtained the essence of the Yongning Continent."
Taken aback, Golden Dragon exclaimed, "How is that possible?"
"How could it not be possible?" Guan Yue shot back with wide eyes. "I have a Celestial Soldier, an Origin Tool, the Ultimate Light, and the Magic Supreme Technique. I even possess the Mother of Three Realms. How could I not obtain the essence of the Jining Continent!"
Realization dawned on Golden Dragon: "So this fellow has support from a Great Power. Although it's miraculous, obtaining the essence of the Yongning Continent isn't impossible; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to restrain me. It seems this is indeed true."
Thus, Golden Dragon said, "Young man, if you truly have obtained the essence of the Yongning Continent, you shouldn't come after us from the Dragon Abyss Nine Hells. Otherwise, you'll face pursuit from the Heavenly Court. The consequences will be severe."
Guan Yue forced a smile and said, "Senior, because I am practicing the Magic Supreme Technique, I have already attracted the attention of the Heavenly Court. I have reached the Ultimate Light stage and will enter Upper Space within a year. I came here hoping you could provide me with some means of survival; otherwise, once I enter Upper Space, the Heavenly Court will surely kill me."
The Golden Dragon chuckled and said, "You’re scared, huh? Quickly let go of these restraints so we can talk."
Guan Yue dared not defy the Golden Dragon's Willpower and immediately released the Spatial Lock.
The Golden Dragon stepped out, looking quite awkward and said with a frown, "Kid, is this how you ask for help?"
Guan Yue put on a smiling face and replied, "I know your standards are high, and ordinary people easily fail to gain your attention. That's why I resorted to such measures. I hope you can forgive me."
The Golden Dragon grimaced and continued, "What benefit do I get from helping you? You can't expect me to just help you out of the blue. Mutual benefit is what this situation calls for. If I gain nothing from it, why should I help you?"
Guan Yue secretly sighed; this Golden Dragon was indeed clever and knew how to negotiate!
After thinking for a moment, Guan Yue suddenly remembered the Celestial Wine and its remarkable effect when combined with the Golden Dragon's Five-Flavor True Water. He tentatively took out the Celestial Wine and said, "Senior, I have a bit of Spirit Void Liquid here. What do you think?"
"What? Spirit Void Liquid? Why didn't you say so earlier? You have Spirit Void Liquid! Haha, Spirit Void Liquid! If we drink this Spirit Void Liquid together with our Dragon's Spit, Old Man will be thrilled. Kid, not bad!" The Golden Dragon saw that Guan Yue had brought out five hundred pounds of it and burst into laughter, feeling very pleased.
Seizing the opportunity, Guan Yue asked, "Senior, do you think you could give me something in return?"
The Golden Dragon hesitated and said, "What should I give you? You tell me what you want."
Guan Yue could only plead, "I truly don't know what treasures you might have that could help me. However, since you are a Great Power from the Dragon Abyss Nine Hells and possess countless treasures, please lend me a hand."
The Golden Dragon smiled slyly: "Since you came to ask me without knowing anything about my treasures, it shows that you trust me. I won't deceive you; I'll give you a flying technique."
"Senior, I'm already a Little Ancestor Saint; there's no need for a flying technique," Guan Yue thought bitterly. It seemed that the Celestial Wine he offered was wasted. This Golden Dragon was truly a master at swindling!
"What? Don't you know? Once you enter Upper Space, neither Little Ancestor Saints nor Great Deities can fly," the Golden Dragon asked in surprise.
Guan Yue was equally astonished. Once in Upper Space, even Little Ancestor Saints and Great Deities couldn't fly? Was this perhaps why Wood Old Ghost and his companions were reluctant to go to Upper Space as they referred to it as the Holy Alliance?
The Golden Dragon pointed at Yang Guanyue's head and said, "This flying technique is a treasured skill of our Dragon Clan. If it weren't for the Spirit Void Liquid you gave me, I wouldn't share it with you."
"Well, thank you," Guan Yue replied, filled with doubt, unsure if he had been tricked by the Golden Dragon. The Golden Dragon then tapped Guan Yue's forehead with its claw, and the flying technique was immediately transmitted to him.
The Golden Dragon, still eager, said to Guan Yue, "Little one, if you have any other good items, feel free to bring them out for exchange. I can find something else that will help you."
Guan Yue frowned and said, "Senior, I really don't have any treasures left. I've already given you a bit of Spirit Void Liquid. There's truly nothing else of value."
"Show me everything you have; maybe there's something good among them. What may seem useless to you might be valuable to me," the Golden Dragon tempted Guan Yue. Guan Yue thought to himself that since he had come all this way, he couldn't just leave with only a flying technique.
So he took out everything he considered useless and let the Golden Dragon choose.
The Golden Dragon examined each item carefully, afraid of missing something. Suddenly, it grabbed the yellow ring that Guan Yue had previously used and that Dean Kintian had given him along with the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword. It laughed joyfully, "Hard work pays off! I can't believe I found such a rare item; my luck as a Golden Dragon is truly soaring!"
Guan Yue looked at the Golden Dragon in confusion. Could this discarded ring actually be a good item? Suddenly, he was struck by a thought: could it have appeared alongside the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword and been obtained by Nantian's master at the same time? If that were the case, it might indeed be valuable.
Seeing the Golden Dragon so delighted, Guan Yue felt a bit regretful.
The Golden Dragon laughed heartily at Guan Yue and said, "You should bring out anything else you consider useless; I won't hold back and will definitely make you satisfied."
Guan Yue still wore a troubled expression and said, "I really have nothing left. All my items are here. Since you like my ring so much, shouldn't you give me some treasure in return?"
"That's fair enough."
