Gulp!
Elder Mei Long looked at the "Huaying Pill" before him, his throat bobbing as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Nervousness.
Fear.
Hesitation.
He had acted "brave" earlier, but when it came down to it, he was worried and scared!
What if the dosage of this "Huaying Pill" was not controlled properly, or if there were any other mistakes, his small life would be over...
Bah, bah, bah!
Elder Mei Long spat twice in his heart.
Such "unlucky things" would absolutely not happen, don't think about it!
Here we go!
The arrow is on the string and must be shot!
Come on!
Let's go!
Elder Mei Long encouraged himself in his heart, stamped his foot, closed his eyes, and went all out.
He picked up the "Huaying Pill," with the determination to face death, and swallowed it in one gulp.
As the pill entered his abdomen, its effects quickly took hold.
Wisps of dark green poisonous gas spread out, eroding into Elder Mei Long's dantian.
The Nascent Soul infant in his dantian suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a look of terror and dread.
Ahhh...
The Nascent Soul infant struggled desperately.
However, it was all in vain!
A large amount of dark green poisonous gas, like venomous snakes, pounced towards the Nascent Soul infant, quickly engulfing it.
The Nascent Soul infant's strength rapidly weakened, its form shattered, and it gradually transformed into a Golden Core!
Realm drop!
From the "Nascent Soul Realm" to the "Golden Core Realm."
Puff!
Elder Mei Long spewed out a mouthful of dark green blood and fell to the ground, appearing extremely weak.
Seeing him like this, the "Nascent Soul Elders" were terrified.
But the "Three Ancestors of Heavenly Dragon" were in a great mood.
The Third Ancestor, "Long Sixu," stroked his beard and smiled, saying.
"Very good, very good! Although Mei Long's realm has dropped, his origin has not been harmed. After some recuperation, he can recover his vital energy. When the time comes, he will enter the Dongxuan Secret Realm, and with a little cultivation, he will be able to regain his Nascent Soul strength!"
The Second Ancestor, "Long Wuzao," chuckled and said.
"Mei Long was the first to take the Huaying Pill, his courage is commendable, and he has made a great contribution. I will report to the Patriarch and request a reward for you!"
Hearing this, Elder Mei Long was overjoyed. He knew his chance to "soar to success" had arrived.
With this "great contribution" on his side, after the Patriarch awakened, he would surely bestow great rewards upon him.
The temporary "realm drop" was a small sacrifice compared to the impending reward from the Patriarch.
Elder Mei Long quickly struggled to his feet and gratefully bowed to the "Three Ancestors of Heavenly Dragon."
"Thank you, three ancestors, for your cultivation!"
Seeing Elder Mei Long being so "sensible," the "Three Ancestors of Heavenly Dragon" were very pleased. They not only encouraged Elder Mei Long but also each casually gave him some "small gifts."
Nothing too valuable, just top-grade "heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
The "Nascent Soul Elders" next door were almost green with envy.
They all regretted their slow reaction earlier. If they had been the first to step forward and take the "Huaying Pill," all the benefits Elder Mei Long was now receiving would have been theirs.
Regret!
There is no medicine for regret in the world, but there are ways to remedy it.
None of the "Nascent Soul Elders" who had cultivated to their current realm were fools. They all understood what they should do at this moment!
"I am an elder of the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land, and it is my honor to contribute my strength to the Patriarch's millennia-long plan! Three ancestors, I am willing to take the Huaying Pill!"
"I am willing too!"
"Three ancestors, give me a chance, let me take the Huaying Pill!"
...
A crowd of "Nascent Soul Elders" eagerly volunteered, all requesting to take the "Huaying Pill."
This explosive scene formed a stark contrast to the earlier coldness.
The "Three Ancestors of Heavenly Dragon" exchanged glances, and the corners of their mouths curved into smiles.
Got it!
Perfect!
Earlier, no one was willing to take the "Huaying Pill," so anyone would do, there were no requirements.
But now, everyone is scrambling to take the "Huaying Pill." There are only twenty slots in the plan, not everyone can get one. You compete!
Thus, a fierce "selection" began.
The "Nascent Soul Elders" all brought out their "special skills" in hopes of gaining the favor of the "Three Ancestors of Heavenly Dragon."
The scene was as explosive as a certain large-scale "recruitment variety show."
...
Holy cow!
The Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land's scheme this time is too big!
Inside the cave.
Hao Ren was inwardly complaining madly.
Three hundred "Dragon Soul Death Warriors" were already exaggerated enough.
After all, who could withstand three hundred "humanoid Tyrannosaurs"?
Even so, the "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land" still felt it wasn't enough, and they planned to send twenty "Nascent Soul cultivators" to hold the fort.
Normally, "Nascent Soul cultivators" are not allowed to enter the "Dongxuan Secret Realm."
However, the "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land" was ruthless and had a grand imagination.
They created the "Huaying Pill."
By using this pill, "Nascent Soul cultivators" would temporarily drop their realms and become "Golden Core cultivators."
This way, these twenty "weakened Nascent Soul cultivators" could trick the outer perimeter of the secret realm's restrictions and successfully enter the "Dongxuan Secret Realm."
"Weakened Nascent Soul cultivators" are still "Nascent Soul cultivators." Even if their realms temporarily drop, their strength is not something ordinary "Golden Core cultivators" can compare to.
Moreover, these twenty "weakened Nascent Soul cultivators" could quickly regain their "vigorous Nascent Soul cultivator" strength with a little cultivation.
At that time, these twenty "vigorous Nascent Soul cultivators" could easily complete the "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land's" "century-long plan"!
Want to resist? No way!
How could a group of "Golden Core cultivators" defeat "Nascent Soul cultivators"?
Damn it!
Hao Ren was extremely angry!
The "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land" doing this is cheating!
He hated cheaters the most!
Uh...
He himself cheating doesn't count!
Uh...
His eldest disciple Liu Xiuer cheating doesn't count!
Uh...
His second disciple Han Mo cheating doesn't count!
...
Alright, he hated treacherous "villains" who cheated the most!
As a group of "villains," you "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land" should be "collectively de-intelligent," your IQ should be infinitely close to zero, and you should be ready to "perish at your own hands" at any time, instead of pulling off such a clever "trick" like this!
Hao Ren felt he should do something, he must stop the "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land's" plot.
But he, a "Golden Core cultivator," facing a group of "Nascent Soul cultivators," plus three "Distraction Ancestors," and a "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" who is dead but still causing trouble.
What could he do?
Hao Ren felt utterly exhausted.
Why were his enemies always so much stronger than him!
Back then, he was just a "Foundation Establishment cultivator," and his enemy was already a "Nascent Soul Realm" "Green Sword Immortal."
Now that he had finally leveled up, his enemies leveled up in an instant, becoming the "Distraction Realm" "Three Ancestors of Heavenly Dragon."
He was so tired, really so tired...
After much deliberation, Hao Ren finally decided to use his trump card: "curses"!
No matter how strong you are, I'll draw circles and curse you, curse you to death!
