The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 592: 586 Chapter: The Emperor’s Path

It was not easy to find a disciple of exceptional talent, David Jones was not willing to let Rossetti Lindwood stay in the perilous Great Umbral.

Should any accident lead to Rossetti Lindwood’s demise and rebirth, all his previous investments would have been a waste of effort.

Moreover, it’s impossible for humans to remain detached like flora, and after spending so much time together, David Jones had grown fond of his flawed disciple, Rossetti Lindwood.

Aside from being too handsy and disrespectful towards her teacher, David Jones was quite satisfied with the highly talented Rossetti Lindwood.

After all, Rossetti Lindwood’s talent was so great that she could help anyone establish a millennia-old household from scratch!

Yes, that’s right, whether in the power-driven Great Umbral or the Flowery Kingdom, a Ghost Deity (an Immortal) possesses the ability to change dynasties and establish a kingdom of their own.

Although David Jones’s initial dream was to travel the world and win the Grand title of the national competition, his ambitions had grown with time.

Simply put, how can a great man, born into this world, be content with dwelling under others? Whether it is strength, influence, or longevity, David Jones had his own aspirations.

Without enough influence backing them up and providing ample resources, no matter how powerful, it’s difficult for one to climb to the pinnacle of the world, which is why David Jones chose to establish the Purple Haze Club at Rosewood College.

And Rossetti Lindwood was David Jones’s prime commander chosen in the Great Umbral and the foundation for the future of the Purple Haze Club.

“No problem.”

Rossetti Lindwood could vaguely perceive what was on David Jones’s mind, but she didn’t care; all that mattered to her was whether her teacher would abandon her.

…

The next day at noon, David Jones raised his head, captivated by the vast sun before him, a concentration of the cosmos’s essence pulled in by the unpredictable power of the cosmos.

“Meow!”

Daphne nudged David Jones’s arm. Her eyes, bright as the blazing sun, not only emitted a strong light, but her body was also lit faintly with fire, as if she had gained some insights from the sun.

The Destiny Flame automatically exuded strands of light, causing the temperature around them to rise once again.

The Rainbow Spirit Dragon narrowed its eyes and slapped David Jones, its cold chill instantly driving away the surrounding heat.

“Open your spirit, feel the formidable power of the immortality with your heart,” Cosmos whispered softly.

The next second, David Jones felt as if he had the whole world in his grasp, and the entire sky burst into terrifying divine light that pierced heaven and earth.

David Jones’s Illusion-Piercing Eye opened, watching thousands of immortal powers surge into the void. Space ripples violently fluctuated, and then slowly a door to an unknown space opened.

Watching this scene, both the Rainbow Spirit and Lolo simultaneously closed their eyes, seemingly gaining a lot of insight from the space door.

“Let’s go.”

David Jones reached out his right hand to his disciple, and Rossetti Lindwood grasped it without hesitation.

Loona’s eyes twinkled, releasing a relaxed sigh.

“Baaah.” (No problem, I don’t sense the shadow of death.)

Lolo reached out a small hand, afraid that the prattling Loona would miss the opening of the space portal and accidentally be left behind in the Great Umbral.

“After this, I shall slumber for several years. I hope to see you as an Epic warrior when we meet again!”

As they passed through the door of space, Cosmos’s voice suddenly echoed and quickly fell silent, leaving behind a stunned David Jones.

In just a few years one could become an Epic, were the Heavenly Arcane Star and the Golden Emperor Body truly that terrifying?

Before David Jones had time to ponder more, he was suddenly struck by a feeling of the sky spinning and the earth going round.

…

In Ocean Province, on an unnamed island scarcely visited by humans and where a large number of Water Beasts gathered, two figures abruptly appeared.

The salty sea breeze hit their faces, and looking at the shoal where Rainbow Spirit Abalones piled up, David Jones raised his eyebrow.

Rainbow Spirit Abalone, with its tender texture, freshness without greasiness, and rich nutrition, was a quite esteemed delicacy of the sea.

The fact that there were so many Rainbow Spirit Abalones living here, unharvested by humans, indicated that they were either in a desolate wilderness patrolled by Beasts or inside a Dungeon.

There were only a few provinces close to the sea within Flowery Kingdom, and David quickly deduced from the latitude and longitude of the sunlight that they should be in Ocean Province, adjacent to Sunbeam Province.

“Can we connect to the Trainer Guild official network?” David Jones looked down at the Gluttonous Beast and asked.

“Roar!” (We can connect, we are currently in the Coastal West Zone, the specific location cannot be determined, but it can be roughly estimated to be in the Wastewater Archipelago; here is a map of the surrounding islands.)

A beam of light shot from the Gluttonous Beast’s eyes, forming a three-dimensional map in front of them.

David Jones nodded.

Suddenly finding themselves in an unfamiliar environment, for safety’s sake, David decided to let Lolo take charge of the scouting.

“Be careful, don’t let your guard down, use Confusion to scout the surrounding area, and inform me immediately if you detect any Beasts stronger than Class VI nearby.”

After finishing, David Jones held the now-shrunken Gluttonous Beast in his arms.

Despite being the highest Species Level among his contracted Pets, the Gluttonous Beast’s progress was the slowest, and its strength ranked last among all his Pets.

A middle-level Class III Gluttonous Beast could defeat most Class V King Dragon Pets, but it could not beat Loona, especially skilled in poisonous support; even more so since David had banned all uncontrolled high-damaging skills for the sake of their friendship.

David Jones and the Rainbow collected some abalones to put into the Star Ring, then began exploring the island.

Thanks to the formidable Psychic Power of Rainbow Lolo and the precise scouting system of the Gluttonous Beast, in just one minute, David had learned that the majority of the Beasts inhabiting the island were Water, Wind, and the rare Plant (Wood) Beasts.

Most of these Beasts were Class IV Elites, with those gathered deep in the jungle being slightly more powerful Plant Pets, occupying the richest water resources on the island, and their strength was around Class V Commanders.

The strongest Beasts in the surrounding islands were no more than a lower-level Class VI King Vortex Tiger Whale and a middle-level Class VI King Wood Spirit.

“Wait a minute, Wood Spirit!” David Jones’s eyes lit up.

The King Species Wood Spirit was not only extremely rare but also hard to come across.

Although this humanoid Beast didn’t possess the Immortal Dragon’s ability to see through good and evil, it had a similar capacity for nurturing nature and cultivating elixirs, making it the rare mesona farmer, second only to the Immortal Dragon in rarity.

David Jones was not lacking mesona farmers in his Mesona Space, what he cared about was the Wood Spirit’s love for collecting spirit wood, indicating that wherever they resided, high-level spirit wood must be growing.

For Lolo to ignite the bloodline fire and break through to Class VIII Emperor (referred to as Legend by Trainers and Emperor by Beasts), it must choose the most fitting Rule from among the Wood, Dragon, and Space to crystallize.

David had observed Lolo with his Illusion-Piercing Eye, and it seemed that Lolo favored Wood over Dragon and Space.

To comprehend and crystallize the Rule of Wood, what Pet Resources could be better than the top-grade, naturally grown spirit wood that inherently contained fragments of the Rule!
