Chapter 33

Amidst the countless blue light points flying about, a few landed on Tianqing, then floated in the air, as if searching for something.

"Hmm, could this be..." Huang Fei clenched his fists, his eyes filled with excitement as he looked at the light orb floating in front of him, his body trembling involuntarily.

"Hmph, if I were a few decades younger..." The Lord of Huangshan couldn't hide the disappointment in his expression.

Huang Fei excitedly grabbed the light orb and shouted:

"97!"

"Good, it seems you are still my son. 97 is a good number." Huang Tianwu was clearly satisfied with this number and rarely praised Huang Fei.

"Xuanming, what is this?" Qingqiu Jiuyue curiously reached out to touch the light orb floating in front of her.

The moment Qingqiu Jiuyue's finger touched the light orb, it automatically dispersed and merged into her body. Then, an ancient character appeared in her mind.

"Princess, this is a Dragon Jade, the symbol of the Azure Dragon's inheritance." Qingqiu Xuanming looked at the young princess, a golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox, with a fanatical gaze, making Qingqiu Jiuyue feel as if she had become some rare creature.

"What is Dragon Jade for?" Qingqiu Jiuyue sniffed her fingertip and then licked it, as if trying to taste the Dragon Jade.

Qingqiu Xuanming organized the information he knew about the Dragon Jade and then earnestly explained to the young princess:

"Dragon Jade is the essence of the Azure Dragon's power, representing a part of the Azure Dragon's strength. Whenever the Azure Dragon roars, it releases 999 Dragon Jades, which automatically seek out suitable candidates."

"These 999 people are also known as the seeds blessed by the Azure Dragon. Most of the ultimate victors in the Azure Dragon's inheritance throughout history have come from these 999 people who obtained the Dragon Jade."

"Dragon Jade possesses incredible power, and the higher the ranking of the Dragon Jade, the greater its power. The criteria for the Dragon Jade to choose a person vary, and the affinity between each person and the Dragon Jade also differs. Some Dragon Jades even continuously change owners, seeking the strongest host."

"The holders of Dragon Jade are not fixed, and the final step of the Azure Dragon's inheritance is said to be gathering the power of these 999 Dragon Jades to ultimately open the forbidden area of the Azure Dragon Mountains and obtain the power left behind by the Azure Dragon."

Qingqiu Jiuyue curiously sensed the Dragon Jade within her body and then deciphered its number—9.

In other words, this was the ninth-ranked Dragon Jade among the 999 Dragon Jades.

If that was the case, according to Qingqiu Xuanming, this Dragon Jade was one of the nine strongest Dragon Jades among the 999.

"By the way, Elder, why don't you have a Dragon Jade?" Qingqiu Jiuyue looked at the black fox elder beside her, puzzled. Clearly, he was much stronger than her, so why hadn't a Dragon Jade chosen him?

"Dragon Jade does not choose old people like us. The Azure Dragon's inheritance selects a king from a younger generation, not from our generation." Qingqiu Xuanming shook his head and explained the rule.

The Azure Dragon, the Eastern Green King, the leader of the Four Sacred Beasts, always belongs to the spirited young people. It has never chosen elder-level cultivators in any era.

The Azure Dragon's inheritance does not look at current cultivation levels but at future potential. Therefore, the inheritors of the Azure Dragon's power throughout history have always been young people from various races, never the older, highly cultivated individuals.

"What... is this?" Meixue looked at the light orb in her palm, feeling a warm sensation, as if it were a greeting from someone.

In the gentle green light, the light orb also dispersed and formed a rune within Meixue's body.

"999?" Meixue deciphered the rune but didn't know what it meant.

However, it didn't matter, as someone soon explained it to her.

"It's Dragon Jade! The symbol of the Azure Dragon's inheritance, I've been chosen!" In a corner of Tianqing, a young man with dual swords on his back ecstatically grabbed the light orb floating in front of him, afraid it would be snatched away.

"300!" After obtaining the Dragon Jade, the young man shouted out loud.

For him, this was certainly the most glorious moment of his life, a moment that would change his fate.

"360!"

"720!"

"250!"

Cheers echoed from various corners of Tianqing, and it was clear that some people also knew the secret of the Dragon Jade, proudly announcing the numbers of the Dragon Jades they had obtained.

"Looks like I'm way at the back?" After listening to the numbers announced by the chosen ones, Meixue had a rough idea of where his light orb stood.

However, Meixue didn't expect that he wasn't just at the back but at the very end, the last holder of the 999 Dragon Jades.

Qingqiu Jiuyue made the Dragon Jade in her body move left and right, playing with it happily. After a while, she remembered:

"Elder, is it better to have a higher-ranked Dragon Jade? Then, were the victors of past generations always the ones with the strongest Dragon Jade?"

Qingqiu Xuanming shook his head: "No, the selection criteria for the Dragon Jade are based on individual compatibility, while the final choice of the Azure Dragon's inheritance is comprehensive. Having the strongest Dragon Jade does not guarantee winning the Azure Dragon's inheritance; it only provides an advantage at the beginning."

"Princess, you have the greatest potential of anyone, and even without a Dragon Jade, you can participate in this Azure Dragon's inheritance."

"Those with great power, even if not chosen by the Dragon Jade at first, can still gain its favor through their own strength. The one who will laugh last will be the ultimate victor."

"Although I don't know why you chose me, since I've been chosen..." Meixue closed his eyes and thoroughly deciphered the Dragon Jade that had entered his body.

Each Dragon Jade possesses different powers. Some directly increase strength, constitution, agility, and spiritual energy, while others are special weapons or unique immortal techniques.

The one Meixue obtained, the last of the 999 Dragon Jades, contained an immortal technique that made him pleasantly surprised.

This was not a powerful combat technique but a unique one—Immortal Flower Technique.

Due to the teaching philosophy of the Azure Dragon Academy, which is "All Techniques Converge to One," the academy undoubtedly has the most extensive collection of various immortal techniques. However, Meixue had never heard of this "Immortal Flower Technique."

The name "Immortal Flower Technique" aptly describes its purpose: to cultivate ordinary spirit flowers into immortal flowers imbued with divine energy.

Of course, this involves overcoming countless obstacles and challenges to transform ordinary spirit flowers into legendary immortal flowers. It is a profound immortal technique that requires a lifetime of study.

Meixue never imagined that the 999th Dragon Jade would contain such an incredible immortal technique.

Although this technique cannot be used for combat, even at its highest level, for Meixue, who was a pharmacist, it was almost a dream-come-true legendary immortal technique.

These high-level immortal techniques are all closely guarded secrets of the major academies. Without this Dragon Jade, Meixue wouldn't know when he could learn such a top-tier immortal technique.

He quickly memorized the technique thoroughly, so even if he was eliminated in the Azure Dragon's inheritance, he would never forget this incredible immortal technique.

Meanwhile, the others who obtained Dragon Jades on Tianqing were also comprehending the powers within their Dragon Jades.

"Shadowless Fist... This..." Huang Fei looked tragically at the divine power revealed in his Dragon Jade, then at his stout figure. The excitement he felt upon obtaining the Dragon Jade quickly faded.

This close-combat divine power was indeed incredibly sharp, but with his physique, how could he practice to achieve the effect of "shadowless fist, killing from a hundred paces"?

Would he have to force himself to lose weight? The thought of his body being drained of all fat made Huang Fei feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, making him shiver.

Or, should he lie to his father and say he obtained a Dragon Jade that increases strength? After all, it's not like anyone could tell...

"Ah, this is great!" Qingqiu Jiuyue looked delightedly at the ability of her Dragon Jade. For her, this was a great ability, very practical, and worthy of being the ninth-ranked Dragon Jade.

This way, she wouldn't have to change forms every day.

"Activate!" Qingqiu Jiuyue wagged her tail, and the special ability of the Dragon Jade immediately activated.

With a "swish," Qingqiu Jiuyue became two. This wasn't an illusion but two genuine Qingqiu Jiuyues, one being the original and the other a clone with one-tenth of her power.

The clone could move and speak, and within a certain distance, the clone and the original shared vision and senses. Whether for disguise or combat, it had incredible and magical effects. Even more amazing, the clone could act like the original without explicit commands, which was exactly what Qingqiu Jiuyue had always dreamed of.

"You are Qingqiu Jiuyue." Qingqiu Jiuyue pointed to herself and smiled.

"I am Little Fox." The little fox happily wagged her tail and then ran off.

Naturally, the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox princess "Qingqiu Jiuyue" was the clone, while the little fox that Meixue doted on and could hug was the original.

There was no choice, as Meixue remembered nothing about "Qingqiu Jiuyue" but only the "little fox" who was with him. So, the future greatest golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox could only humble herself and pretend to be an innocent little fox to accompany her lover.

Thus, when Meixue returned to his room, he found that the little fox, who had been missing for days, had returned and was boldly occupying his bed, rolling around happily.
