Chapter 1063: Chapter 69: Heaven-Given Qi Fortune, Sealed Dragon Egg, Forging Divine Artifact! (Part 3)
"Its other end connects to the Sanctum Hall, which is the mission hall of the Central Dragon Court, right?"
"Am I an administrator now?"
Zhao Xing’s expression immediately became quite interesting.
Because at this moment, in the Sanctum Hall, there were dragons taking on missions according to the process.
When the Misa Palace was without an owner, the Heaven and Earth Crystal operated on its own, following the automatic selection mechanism of the Array.
But now that Zhao Xing was here, the administrative affairs would be handed over to him to handle.
Zhao Xing immediately decided to take a look. After all, those who could come to the Sanctum Hall were generally of the first rank or powerful Dragon Clan Lords.
The main purpose of coming to the Sanctum Hall was what?
To complete the [Dragon King Trials].
As long as a certain number of cycles of missions were completed, one could receive the Dragon Court’s grant and achieve the position of Dragon King.
"Ordinary dragons can’t get here, let me see, who has come?"
"Heaven and Earth Dragon Court, Dragon Emperor’s Order, appear!"
Buzz~
The water curtain shimmered, immediately revealing the scene outside the Sanctum Hall.
As for the outside, they couldn’t see Zhao Xing unless he chose to appear.
When Zhao Xing saw the situation outside the hall, he laughed.
"Oh, Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate, Red Bone Venerable Sage."
Indeed, the two waiting in the Sanctum Hall at this time were the two Venerates of the White Bone Sect who guarded the Ascending Dragon Platform in the past.
Ten years had passed, and it was unexpected that these two had appeared here.
"Surely they are attempting the Dragon King Trials, let me see which cycle they’ve reached?"
Zhao Xing waved his claw, operated the Array directly to check the Heaven and Earth Crystal ’backend’.
"One hundred and three years ago, just completed the ninth cycle task of the Dragon King Trials—[Dragon Soul Ice Field]."
One hundred and three years ago, that was approximately at the end of the last opening of the Dragon Court Ancient Land.
"Now he is here for the tenth cycle."
"Hilarious, he ran into me."
If not for Zhao Xing, after Purple Bone Venerable Sage’s worship, the Heaven and Earth Crystal would have activated the Array, randomly selecting a challenge task from the mission library to issue.
By completing the task, the corresponding cycle reward would be obtained.
Now it was different.
"Hehehe..."
A sinister laughter echoed from within the Misa Palace.
...
In the Sanctum Hall, Purple Bone Venerable Sage lay obediently on the ground, anxiously waiting for the Water Mirror to bestow a new challenge task.
"To reach the tenth cycle of the Dragon King Trials, leaving only two steps to the Dragon King position."
"Completing the twelfth cycle will grant me the Dragon King position."
"Currently, with no new Dragon King rank appearing in the Southern Barbarian Royal Court, if I can complete the twelfth cycle task in one go, I will be the sole Dragon King of the Southern Barbarians!"
Purple Bone Venerable Sage’s heart burned with passion.
Though the Great Zhou had gained powers beyond a Dragon King, it didn’t mean the value of the Dragon King rank had changed!
On the contrary, at this time, the kingly Dragon Rank was especially important in the Southern Barbarians.
"If I become the Dragon King, the Southern Barbarian Sacred Mountain will definitely give me numerous Divine Artifacts to counter that mysterious Great Dragon King of the Great Zhou!"
"Becoming a Divine Sovereign is as certain as nailing on the board!"
The current situation was completely different from before.
All forces moved underground, like mice, surviving in the dark sewers.
Whenever they saw a person from the Great Zhou, they tried their best to avoid any encounter.
That Great Dragon King had not appeared for nine and a half years.
This did give them some breathing room.
All sides were studying how to counteract the channels-sealing decree, the execution decree.
The Southern Barbarians, Japan, Sect World all agreed that only a Dragon King wielding Divine Artifacts might have a chance to counteract these decrees.
But suffering from the lack of a new Dragon King, even if many Divine Artifacts were sent in, they had no place to be used.
So, over the years, the focused strategy of the Southern Barbarian alliances had shifted from competing with the Great Zhou for treasures and territories to focusing entirely on the ’Dragon King Trials’.
Purple Bone Venerable Sage spent ten years preparing before coming to the Sanctum Hall to take the task.
Mainly because this task was relatively difficult, and it wasn’t easy for him to sneak in here undetected, avoiding assassination attempts by strongmen of the Great Zhou.
So much has to be said, how could a dignified Venerable Sage end up in such a situation, having to sneak in to take a challenge like a thief.
"I hope to randomly receive an easier task." Purple Bone Venerable Sage prayed in his heart.
The Dragon King Trials task ranged in difficulty, and if it was too hard and took too long, he would have to wait another hundred years to come back to complete the mission.
"Ah~~"
A moment later, the call of a dragon emanated from the Water Mirror.
Purple Bone Venerable Sage listened carefully.
"Lord ’Black Bone’, your tenth trial is: Bring back at least two treasures for the Dragon Court. The more you bring, the greater the reward after completing the trial; the highest reward for the tenth trial is the ’Dragon Emperor’s Order’!"
After speaking, a square challenge token flew out from the Water Mirror, inscribed with the details of the challenge task.
"Thank the Dragon Court for giving me this opportunity." Purple Bone Venerable Sage suppressed the shock in his heart, calmly followed the procedure, and then left the Sanctum Hall.
Just as he went out, Red Bone Venerable Sage came up to him.
"Senior Brother, how is it?"
Purple Bone Venerable Sage exclaimed, "Great opportunity! Great opportunity!"
Red Bone Venerable Sage was a bit puzzled, what kind of task content would cause the usually calm senior brother to be so uncharacteristically excited?
"Look!" Purple Bone Venerable Sage took out the task token for his junior brother to view.
"What, it turns out to be the easiest tribute task?" Red Bone Venerable Sage was stunned.
Undoubtedly, among the Dragon King Trials tasks, the tribute task was the easiest kind.
If you have wealth, how can it not be simple?
Just two treasures can pass the tenth cycle task, surely countless people would flock to this.
After all, they are a top-level sect, backed by the Southern Barbarian Royal Court, two treasures are rare for individuals, but different for them.
