This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

next second.

The dark golden dragon-patterned barrier suddenly lit up, ancient runes flowed wildly, and the originally stagnant seawater was stirred up by a powerful dragon's might, forming a visible vortex. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon were trembling and bubbling down.

The moment the golden light merged into the barrier, the previously seamless barrier slowly cracked open, and the dragon energy surging out from the crack was so dense that it was almost tangible, carrying a warm and gentle feeling, completely different from the cold seawater of the dragon's nest barrier.

Jiang Liu took a deep breath and disappeared into the crevice.

You have unlocked the core map of the Deep Sea Dragon Realm—Dragon Ruins Palace.

You have entered the core map of the Deep Sea Dragon Realm—Dragon Ruins Palace.

Dragon Ruins Palace?!

Could the boss of this map be a dragon?
Since we're all on the same side, can you please stop wasting my time?
The moment I passed through the barrier, the scene before me changed completely.

It was a battlefield of dragon skeletons stretching for thousands of miles, with countless huge dragon bones laid out haphazardly. The longest dragon spine was ten thousand feet long, and the surface of the bones still had dark golden dragon scales. Even after thousands of years, it still exuded a terrifying pressure.

The seawater was no longer cold and hard, but had a warm, jade-like color. Floating in the water were specks of golden stardust, which were the dissipated dragon essence power. When they touched the skin, they turned into pure spiritual energy and flowed into the body.

On the distant sea, floating islands made of dragon bones floated. On these islands grew spiritual plants never seen before, their leaves shimmering with pearly light. Dewdrops from their petals fell into the seawater and transformed into tiny spiritual stones.

"Wow, such rich spiritual energy!"

Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, and he reached out and grabbed a handful of water droplets floating in the air.

You have obtained 175 Spirit Stones.

You have obtained 161 Spirit Stones.

You have obtained 193 Spirit Stones.

Amazing! A casual grab was full of spirit stones!
The spiritual energy was so dense that it caused him to develop kidney stones. If he were to cultivate in seclusion here, he could quickly reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage without even having to kill monsters!
As Jiang Liu was reflecting on this, the dragon skeleton beneath his feet suddenly moved.

It wasn't the entire dragon skeleton that awoke, but rather a layer of dark green moss clinging to the bones that transformed into countless tiny insects, crawling densely toward him.

【Name: Dragon Erosion Gu】

[Race: Demon Race]

[Realm: Early Stage of Fusion]

[Probability of Drops: Dragon Pattern Associated Ore (50%), Dragon Qi Crystal (10%), Gu Poison Bead (1.5%)]

These tiny monsters may not be high-level, but they are incredibly numerous.

Groups of monsters, that's what he likes most!

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

[You killed the Dragon-Eating Gu, gaining 0.01% cultivation points. A cultivation point critical hit was triggered, gaining 0.02% cultivation points.]

[You killed the Dragon-Eating Gu, gaining 0.01% cultivation points. A cultivation point critical hit was triggered, gaining 0.035% cultivation points.]

[You killed the Dragon-Eating Gu, gaining 0.01% cultivation points. A cultivation point critical hit was triggered, gaining 0.015% cultivation points.]

Jiang Liu: “.”

Monsters in the early stages of the Fusion Realm only give 0.01% of cultivation points?
That's incredibly stingy.

Jiang Liu pursed his lips and ran over to pick up the fallen items.

You have obtained 169 Dragon Pattern Associated Ore.

You have obtained 1 Dragon Energy Crystals.

You have obtained 1 Gu Poison Bead.

"A single wave of monsters dropped 169 pieces of Dragon Pattern Associated Ore?"

Jiang Liu's eyes lit up when he saw the 169 dragon-patterned associated minerals that had suddenly appeared in his backpack.

This drop rate, now that's what a hidden map looks like!
He then took a look at the newly dropped items.

【Gu Poison Bead】

[Rank: Mid-grade Dao Rank]

【Uses: Contains pure Gu poison, which can be used to refine poison pills or fused into weapons to deal an additional 2% poison damage. Each weapon can have a maximum of 100 pills】

[Note: The core crystal of the Dragon-Eating Gu is an excellent material for refining highly poisonous magical artifacts.]

Jiang Liu: “Emmmm.”

Jiang Liu looked at the freshly prepared ingredients and felt at a loss for words.

To be honest, this Gu poison bead is not quite worthy of its mid-grade Dao level.

But if you fuse 100 of them into a weapon, that's a different story.

If you fuse 100 Gu poison beads, you can add 200% poison damage to the weapon, which is quite high.

My personal opinion: 1 piece of trash, 100 pieces of awesomeness.

Jiang Liu put away the Gu poison bead and flew towards the nearest floating island.

The island is supported by three enormous dragon leg bones, covered with thick moss. In the center of the island grows a towering ancient tree with a thick trunk and a red fruit hanging from its branch. The fruit is covered with dragon patterns and exudes a rich dragon aura and fruit fragrance.

"They even give away free items?"

Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow, flew over, and picked the fruit.

【Name: Dragon Pattern Dao Fruit】

[Rank: High-grade Dao-level Spiritual Plant]

[Uses: After consumption, it can increase affinity with dragon bloodlines, enhance physical strength, and has a certain probability of granting the ability to comprehend dragon-related Taoist arts.]

[Note: 10 Dragon Energy Crystals must be absorbed before consuming this product.]

"A fruit that allows one to comprehend dragon-type Daoist techniques?"

Jiang Liu's heart skipped a beat. Was there really such a good thing?
Why are the developers giving away such awesome props for free?
Oh well, whatever it means, might as well take it.

Just as Jiang Liu plucked the Dragon Pattern Dao Fruit, the ancient tree suddenly shook violently. Its roots were pulled out of the dragon bone, revealing dense white roots with barbs at the ends, which coiled around him like venomous snakes!
At the same time, a huge crack appeared in the tree trunk, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes that flashed with a ferocious light.

【Name: Dragon Tree Demon】

[Race: Demon Race (Spirit Plant Type)]

[Realm: Perfected Integration]

[Probability Drops: Dragon Pattern Jadeite (1%), Dragon Qi Crystal (50%), Dragon Pattern Dao Fruit (100%), Dragon Essence Crystal Core Fragment (25%)]

"100% chance of getting a Dao Fruit? We have to take it!"

Jiang Liu did not retreat but advanced, swinging the Hunling Tianyuan Sword into the air!

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

First cut the vines, then chop the tree trunk!
"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

The sword's cry, its light, and its power combined, carrying a world-destroying aura, as it fiercely slashed towards the Dragon Tree Demon!

boom!
With a deafening roar, the trunk of the Dragon Tree Demon exploded, white sap mixed with wood chips scattering everywhere. Its massive body slowly collapsed, turning into dust that filled the sky.

You have killed the Dragon Tree Demon.

You have obtained 1 Dragon Energy Crystals.

You have obtained 1 Dragon Pattern Dao Fruit.

You have obtained 9 Dragon Essence Crystal Core Fragments.

"Dragon Essence Crystal Core Fragment? Yet another new material?"

Jiang Liule gently opened the Dragon Essence Crystal Core fragment.

[Dragon Essence Crystal Core Fragment]

[Rank: Upper Dao Rank]

[Use: Fragments of the Dragon Clan cultivator's power core. 10 fragments can be combined to create a complete Dragon Essence Crystal Core. The Dragon Essence Crystal Core can be fused into a weapon to add the attribute "[Dragon Essence Intimidation]", dealing 100% extra damage to all demonic beast-type monsters.]

[Note: Only high-level dragon monsters or spiritual plants in the core area can drop this item.]

"Another item that adds attributes to weapons!"

Jiang Liu's lips twitched slightly; he sensed the deep malice in the schemer's words.

A Dao-rank weapon has about four affixes.

The Poison Bead and Dragon Essence Crystal Core can add two more attributes to a weapon.

Most importantly, it doesn't specify the maximum number of entries that can be added!

In other words, as long as you have enough materials, you can add them indefinitely!
If a Dao-rank weapon has 10 additional attributes, it's probably even more powerful than a Celestial Weapon!

If weapons can be added, then other equipment can probably be added as well.
If each piece of equipment has 10 additional attributes, how much would its combat power increase?

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Putting aside his random thoughts, Jiang Liu continued exploring deeper into the core area.

The deeper you go, the denser the spiritual energy becomes, and the dragon bones under your feet grow larger and larger. Some of the dragon bones still bear traces of battles between demonic beasts, as if an earth-shattering battle had taken place here.

This map is quite well-made, isn't it?

Not long after, a muffled sound of rushing water came from ahead. Jiang Liu looked intently and saw a giant turtle, as big as a small mountain, lying there. Its carapace was covered with dark gold dragon patterns, and it had a pair of curved dragon horns on its head. Its four giant claws gripped the rocks on the seabed tightly, and each breath caused the surrounding seawater to churn.

【Name: Giant Turtle with Dragon Horns】

Race: Demon (a branch of the Dragon race)

[Realm: Late Stage of Fusion] [Probability Drop: Dragon Pattern Associated Ore (100%), Dragon Qi Crystal (10%), Dragon Essence Crystal Core Fragment (50%), Dragon Turtle Armor Fragment (35%)]

No need for further words, let's start the killing.

Jiang Liu stood at a distance and began reading the message.

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

puff!

"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

duang!

Jiang Liu gave the giant turtle no chance to breathe. He raised his sword and unleashed dozens of strikes in succession. The sword energy continuously tore through the giant turtle's flesh and penetrated deep into its body.

The giant turtle's breath grew weaker and weaker, its struggles less and less intense, until finally it lay helplessly on the seabed, completely still.

You have slain the giant dragon-horned tortoise.

You have obtained 1 Dragon Pattern Associated Ore.

You have obtained 1 Dragon Energy Crystals.

You have obtained 1 Dragon Essence Crystal Core Fragments.

You have obtained 1 Dragon Turtle Armor Fragment

"Another new material"

Jiang Liu picked up the dragon turtle shell piece with a speechless expression.

【Dragon Turtle Shell Slices】

[Grade: High-grade Taoist grade]

[Use: Can be fused into armor to add 100% defense; only 2 pieces can be added to each piece of armor]

[Note: Dropped only by high-level dragon-type monsters in the core area]

As expected, the materials for adding attributes to armor have arrived!
Jiang Liu shook his head, casually put away the dragon turtle armor piece, and continued to delve deeper into the core map.

Before long, a misty area appeared ahead, and the sound of flapping wings could be faintly heard from within the mist. Countless huge bats could be seen circling in the mist.

These bats were entirely black, with silver dragon patterns on their wings, exposed sharp teeth, and fierce eyes; they were the Netherworld Dragon Bats, a branch of the dragon race.

Name: Netherworld Dragon Bat

Race: Demon (a branch of the Dragon race)

[Realm: Late Stage of Integration]

[Probability Drops: Dragon Pattern Associated Ore (100%), Dragon Qi Crystal (10%), Dragon Essence Crystal Core Fragment (30%)]

As soon as Jiang Liu stepped into the mist, dozens of Netherworld Dragon Bats suddenly rushed out of the mist with lightning speed. Their sharp teeth were aimed at Jiang Liu, and at the same time, they emitted sharp sound waves that made Jiang Liu's eardrums hurt and his health dropped sharply.

"Noisy!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

You have killed the Nether Dragon Bat.

You have obtained 154 Dragon Pattern Associated Ore.

You have obtained 3 Dragon Energy Crystals.

You have obtained 3 Dragon Essence Crystal Core Fragments.

"Where's the BOSS? Come out and let's have a duel!"

After clearing out the wave of monsters, Jiang Liu did not linger and continued to advance towards the direction where the dragon energy was most concentrated.

After passing through the misty area, a temple built of black dragon-patterned stone came into Jiang Liu's view.

This temple is thousands of feet tall, with a roof made of huge dragon scales. Above the main entrance is a huge dragon head with a majestic gaze, as if looking down on all living beings.

The BOSS room has finally appeared!

A hint of excitement flashed in Jiang Liu's eyes, and he pushed open the door without hesitation.

The interior of the temple was extremely spacious, with a smooth jade floor paved with dragon patterns. Huge dragon-shaped stone pillars stood on both sides, with golden chains wrapped around them and huge luminous pearls hanging from them, illuminating the entire temple.

At the end of the temple, there was a high platform, on which sat a golden treasure chest, and around the chest lay a huge demonic beast.

This monster was covered in golden dragon scales, had nine huge tails, a pair of golden dragon horns on its head, and a pair of golden eyes that shone like the sun. It was extremely ferocious!

There are treasure chests and dragons, but what about the kidnapped princess?

Name: Nine-Tailed Golden Dragon (Remnant Soul)

[Race: Dragon]

[Rank: BOSS]

[Realm: Early Tribulation Stage (Remnant Soul State)]

[Probability Drops: Dragon Pattern Jade Marrow (100%), Dragon Essence Crystal Core (100%), Dragon Clan Daoist Inheritance Scroll (10%), Nine-Turn Dragon Essence Pill (1%)]

"100% chance of dropping Dragon Jadeite, and there's also a chance to drop Dragon Clan skills!"

A glint of fervor flashed in Jiang Liu's eyes. This was the ultimate treasure of the Deep Sea Dragon Domain!
The nine-tailed golden dragon slowly raised its head, its golden eyes locking onto Jiang Liu, and let out a deep roar: "Human cultivator, how dare you trespass into my temple?"

"Yes, we made it."

Jiang Liu nodded: "What can you do?"

"What's wrong?"

The nine-tailed golden dragon sneered, its massive body suddenly standing up, its nine tails waving in the air, stirring up a sky full of dragon energy!

"Go ahead and do it, so what!"

"Human cultivators who covet the dragon race's supreme treasures shall die!"

With that, it suddenly spewed out a golden dragon breath, which carried an aura of destruction and blasted towards Jiang Liu.

"Six Dao-Rank Spirit Seeds!"

Jiang Liu immediately summoned his spiritual seed to form a defense, while simultaneously circulating his spiritual energy throughout his body, causing the Hunling Tianyuan Sword to condense its sword power.

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

boom!
The two sides clashed, and the golden light illuminated the entire temple. Jiang Liu was forced back by the enormous impact, and his health dropped by a third in an instant.

The nine-tailed golden dragon was also forced back a few steps by the sword energy, and a shallow scratch appeared on its golden scales.

"A decent human cultivator, capable of injuring my remnant soul."

A hint of surprise flashed in the nine-tailed golden dragon's eyes, then it became even more ferocious: "However, this is not enough!"

It swung its nine tails simultaneously, and countless golden dragon scales shot towards Jiang Liu like sharp arrows. At the same time, it chanted incantations, and countless golden dragon claws suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbing towards Jiang Liu!

"The Golden Dragon Arrow of Wei Sheng!"

"Mantle Dragon Claw!"

Jiang Liu dared not be negligent. He wielded the Hunling Tianyuan Sword with impenetrable skill, blocking the dragon scales' attack while his figure constantly flickered to avoid the dragon's claws.

"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

"court death!"

"Ow!"

With a single punch, the nine-tailed golden dragon let out a shrill scream, and golden blood gushed from the air.

It twisted its body wildly, causing the temple to tremble violently and the stone pillars to collapse.

Jiang Liu seized the opportunity and unleashed several Five Elements Revolving Sword strikes in succession. The massive, swirling crescent moons sliced ​​through the Nine-Tailed Golden Dragon's armor, causing golden scales to fall off continuously, and the Nine-Tailed Golden Dragon's aura to grow weaker and weaker.

"Human cultivator, I admit, you are very strong."

The nine-tailed golden dragon slowly stopped moving, a trace of weariness flashing in its golden eyes. It slowly said, "I am the last remnant soul of the ancient dragon race. I have guarded this temple for ten thousand years. Now my lifespan has come to an end. It is fate that I have met a genius like you."

Jiang Liu: “????”

Its body began to turn transparent, transforming into specks of golden light: "I hope you will treat the descendants of the dragon race kindly in the future, and not let the glory of the ancient dragon race disappear completely."

Jiang Liu: “????”

Jiang Liu stared blankly as the nine-tailed golden dragon slowly disappeared, and his hands gradually stopped moving.

I hadn't even exerted my full strength yet, how could you commit suicide?
The remnant soul of the nine-tailed golden dragon completely dissipated, and the golden treasure chest on the high platform opened automatically.

You have slain the Nine-Tailed Golden Dragon (remnant soul)

You have obtained Dragon Pattern Jadeite x1

You have obtained 1 Dragon Essence Crystal Core.

You have obtained 1 Dragon Clan Taoist Technique Inheritance Scroll

You have obtained 1 Nine-Turn Dragon Essence Pill.
