211: The family is still quite wealthy, so he shouldn't die for the time being.

"Ignoring Aptitude Bottlenecks and becoming an Emperor on the spot... This thing is quite interesting."

His thoughts instantly became active. At his level, ordinary treasures had long since failed to catch his Dharma Eye, but this 'great emperor dao fruit' was different.

It did not represent simple power, but rather a possibility.

In an instant, several thoughts flashed through his mind.

Ten great emperor dao fruits meant that, theoretically, he could instantly allow the Azure Profound Sect to have ten more Emperors?

As this thought flashed by, even he felt it was a bit exaggerated. If word got out, it would be enough to make the entire Myriad Heavens and Realms go completely mad.

He thought, what if he bestowed them upon his Disciples? Xiao Ruobai, Hanyu, Xi'er... They each had their own Dao. Would this great emperor dao fruit be suitable? Would it help them ascend to the Emperor Realm ahead of time, or might it limit their future potential?

Even if not used immediately, possessing ten great emperor dao fruits was in itself a terrifying strategic deterrent capable of overturning any situation.

"Heh..."

Gu Changge shook his head gently and let out a small laugh. "I'm thinking too far ahead. The path to becoming an Emperor must ultimately be walked by oneself to be the most stable. This item... I'll store it for now and wait for the right moment."

He would see later who in the Sect was suitable and then let them use it.

He shifted his gaze from the great emperor dao fruit to his attribute panel.

His gaze swept over the treasure column on the panel, where dozens of undying divine medicines, lakes of Life Spirit Liquid, and stackable Ten-Thousand-Year Lifespan Pills lay quietly... Seeing these, the slight anxiety in his heart caused by Murong Qiu's death dissipated significantly in an instant.

The corners of Gu Changge's mouth curled into a reassuring arc as he whispered to himself:

"Fortunately, my assets are quite substantial. For now... I probably won't die."

He looked at the Time Great Dao Law on the panel again, and his sense of security was instantly maximized; if things really didn't work out, he could just reverse time.

He gently brushed his sleeves, feeling that the weather today was nice and his mood was quite pleasant.

The path of cultivation should have a balance of tension and relaxation; he might as well reward himself.

"Let's have an extra meal."

With a thought, his gaze fell upon Old Huang, who was diligently tilling the soil in the medicine garden.

Old Huang suddenly shuddered. An ominous premonition originating from the depths of its Bloodline made its ox hair stand on end. It cautiously turned its head, meeting Gu Changge's gentle yet scrutinizing gaze.

"Ma... Master?"

Old Huang's voice was trembling.

Gu Changge nodded with a smile, then looked toward the back mountain. His Divine Sense spread out like mercury spilling on the ground, instantly locking onto the flood dragon sleeping deep within the cold pool, as well as several small animals resting on the back mountain whose strength had reached the Saint King Realm.

"Hmm, the ingredients should be diverse for balanced nutrition."

A moment later, Gu Changge's figure appeared by the cold pool on the back mountain. The pool water was deep and icy, filled with dense cold Qi.

As soon as Gu Changge's figure appeared by the cold pool, the water began to churn violently.

"Roar—! Human! You're here again!"

The massive body of a black flood dragon suddenly burst out of the water. Its pitch-black scales reflected a faint light under the sun, and its dragon eyes were filled with grievance and anger.

It knew that the existence before it was unfathomable. It had had its meat carved several times before, and every time it resisted, it was beaten until its head bled. But the pride belonging to the Dragon Clan still made it unwilling!

"This King's meat is not leeks! You can't just harvest it crop after crop!"

"The Dragon Clan will never be slaves!"

The black flood dragon roared, gathering all its demonic power. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the Ice Law condensed into countless massive ice spears, which shot toward Gu Changge with ear-piercing whistles, covering the sky!

This was its full-strength strike, contained with its unyielding will!

"You aren't a dragon right now, just a little snake!"

Looking at this grand attack, Gu Changge's face didn't show even a hint of a ripple. He simply raised his hand slightly, as if brushing away dust before his eyes, and casually slapped the air.

Slap!

With a crisp sound, the sky full of ice spears instantly shattered into the most primitive Spiritual Qi particles. The black flood dragon's massive body was struck as if by an invisible star, letting out a wail as it crashed heavily onto the open ground by the pool, making the earth tremble.

It was pinned down firmly by an invisible, massive force. Its huge dragon body involuntarily curled into a ball, unable to move.

The "never be slaves" Aura from just now vanished instantly. The black flood dragon grimaced in pain, and its huge dragon eyes even welled up with aggrieved tears.

It cried out with a sob, "Can't you... can't you be a bit gentler? It hurts so much..."

Gu Changge ignored its complaints. With a practiced motion, he sliced through the air. An invisible blade of Qi swept past, and a piece of top-quality flood dragon tenderloin flew lightly into the jade plate he had prepared.

He casually sprinkled some Life Spirit Liquid on the wound. Life essence flowed, and it healed quickly, but the pain of having its meat forcibly carved was very real.

Gu Changge weighed the jade plate in his hand. Looking at the crystal-clear flood dragon meat within, which contained surging ice essence, he sighed slightly. "The meat quality is acceptable, and the essence is sufficient... Unfortunately, it is a flood dragon after all, not a true dragon. I really do want to taste the flavor of dragon meat."

He pondered, remembering a basin of ancestral dragon essence blood he had obtained from a check-in a few days ago.

"This is just right."

Gu Changge muttered to himself, then flicked his finger. A drop of dark-gold blood essence, which seemed capable of crushing the void and making ten thousand dragons submit, emerged.

However, just as the black flood dragon felt that extreme temptation from the source of its Bloodline, its dragon eyes widening instantly with endless longing, Gu Changge frowned slightly. "Hmm... one drop of blood essence has energy that is too violent. For you, it would probably just blow you up. A waste."

Saying this, with a thought, he separated an almost imperceptible wisp from that drop of ancestral dragon essence blood.

Then he took out a jade bottle containing half a bottle of Innate Spirit Marrow surrounded by chaotic Aura.

He infused that wisp of ancestral dragon essence blood into the Innate Spirit Marrow. The liquid in the jade bottle instantly turned pale gold, emitting a gentle yet still supreme dragon pressure.

"Take it."

Gu Changge tossed the jade bottle in front of the curled-up black flood dragon. "Use this spirit marrow to dilute it so it's easier to refine. Hurry up and transform into a dragon; I'm still waiting to taste real dragon meat."

Looking at the jade bottle before it that held a fatal attraction, and hearing the latter half of Gu Changge's sentence, the massive emotional impact caused the black flood dragon to involuntarily shed tears mixed with longing, grievance, and complex emotions.

It carefully pulled the jade bottle over with its claws and drank it all in one gulp.

Gu Changge watched as the black flood dragon began trying to guide that wisp of diluted blood essence power. The progress was as slow as a turtle's crawl, making him somewhat impatient.

"Too slow. At your speed, when will I ever get to eat dragon meat?"
