Chapter 127: Little Dragon

Luo Xiao's eyes were focused on the egg in his hands. He could feel that the energy was slowly ebbing out; the sphere in front of them was also slowly losing its shine and power, as it had transferred all its energy into the beast within the egg.

The cracking sounds were shocking in the silent surroundings, and fine cracks appeared all over the egg, as the small beast from within was attempting to break out.

Luo Xiao held his breath. He felt his heart beat rapidly, and he was worried about the beast within. It had been so close to death when he had found it, and while he understood that the life force within this dragon heart had nurtured and strengthened it, was it not hatching too soon?

While Luo Xiao was worried, he was also feeling expectant. What kind of beast was this little creature that he felt such a strong connection to?

He waited with bated breath, and soon a small golden-scaled claw appeared through one of the cracks, followed by another claw.

These two claws were slowly trying to dig a hole in the eggshell. It did not take long before a small, snake-like creature slithered out of the egg, however upon closer inspection, Luo Xiao noticed that it had legs and arms, that it was a dragon, not a snake!

His eyes widened in shock when he saw that it was a dragon. Dragons were revered beasts, and he had long since heard that they were extinct in this world. However, there was a small dragon in front of him now, and he could not help but feel shocked.

Luo Xiao was not aware of the different species of dragons, but Jiang Yao was, and upon seeing this little dragon, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He counted the claws on each limb, and he was silent for a long time. There were five claws on each, and the golden scales clearly showed that this was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

The Golden Dragon was below the Azure Dragon when one looked at rarity; it was known as the noblest of all dragons.

There were Two-Clawed Golden Dragons, Three-Clawed Golden Dragons, and Four-Clawed Golden Dragons, and finally Five-Clawed Golden Dragons.

The more claws they had, the more noble their bloodline. A five-clawed golden dragon was a natural emperor amongst all beasts, and only the Azure Dragon ranked higher; however, the Azure Dragon was not a species or a race, but instead, a deity. It was the ancestor of all dragons.

When one looked at the Golden Dragons, ninety-five percent of all Golden Dragons were Two-Clawed Golden Dragons. Only one out of ten thousand would be a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, and when they were born, they were revered by all.

While Jiang Yao was painfully aware of the status of this little dragon, Luo Xiao was clueless. He gently caressed the dragon's head, and the little hatchling began purring as it rubbed its head against his fingers.

The two felt a strong connection from the beginning, and their hearts were trembling in happiness upon seeing one another. It was like a long-lost brother had returned to their side.

Both Luo Xiao and the little dragon slowly began feeling tired. The incessant stream of energy had indeed strengthened them, but it had also pulled their bodies to their limits, and now that it had disappeared, their bodies were on the verge of collapsing. They needed rest.

Jiang Yao noticed how the eyelids of the two got heavier and heavier, and they slowly slumped onto the soft grass.

He then went to straighten their bodies; he also found a blanket, and wrapped it around them before he began examining the remnants of the dragon heart.

This dragon heart did not belong to a Golden Dragon, but a Flood Dragon. While the Flood Dragon was also a pure dragon, it did not have as noble a bloodline as the Golden Dragon, and it made sense that it wanted to impart its legacy to a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, as it was the noblest of them all.

The remnant of the dragon heart no longer contained a consciousness; it had long since been lost as the inheritance entered the little dragon's mind.

These remnants had no usage for the little dragon, nor could Luo Xiao use it, but it was precious for a Qi cultivator.

The remnants consisted of a strange white and golden orb, which was the size of a normal pill. This pill would be able to strengthen the body of a Qi cultivator, and while it did not bring any noticeable rewards to one's cultivation base, it would strengthen one's foundations and their bodies.

Qi cultivators did not solely rely on Qi. They also had to train their bodies, and only when their bodies were strong enough, would they be capable of containing the Qi within their bodies.

Many who reached a bottleneck when cultivating were unable to advance simply because their bodies had reached their limits.

This was also why humans were unable to have as outstanding achievements as demons and beasts in Qi cultivation. While they could cultivate Qi, their bodies were not as strong or powerful, making it so that their path of cultivation would be cut shorter than the two other races.

Jiang Yao was a demon, and demons had much stronger bodies than humans; however, they were still lacking compared to beasts.

The remnants from the dragon heart would be able to boost his constitution to the point where he would be able to compete with a dragon, and thus his cultivation speed would advance by leaps and bounds.

Looking at Luo Xiao, his eyes turned gentle. This young man was indeed his lucky charm. While Jiang Yao had not gotten the Moon Anise, a dragon heart was much more valuable, and would be able to provide him with many more benefits in the long run.
