Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2696: Chapter 2695: The Birth of the Earth Dragon

In the deep underground, at the location of the top-grade spiritual vein, after trying for a while but unable to absorb it, Lin Dong was ready to conclude this miraculous journey and head back home.

He stood beside the spiritual vein, his gaze softly landing on the Earth Dragon Egg lying quietly on the ground, feeling a bit reluctant in his heart.

This egg, it seems, does not intend to leave with him after arriving here.

However, just as Lin Dong turned to leave, the Earth Dragon Egg suddenly changed again.

It seemed to sense something, starting to tremble slightly, and then it actually began to roll slowly, heading towards the position of the giant dragon spirit of the top-grade spiritual vein.

Lin Dong paused in amazement, his eyes following closely, a surge of indescribable confusion rising in his heart.

The Earth Dragon Egg rolled faster and faster, eventually stopping right below the giant dragon spirit, as if attracted by an invisible force.

At this moment, the giant dragon spirit also seemed to notice the presence of the egg. It slowly lowered its head, gazing at the Earth Dragon Egg with its deep eyes, as if examining it, or perhaps conveying some kind of message.

Followed by a more intense spiritual energy rushing out from the giant dragon spirit, pouring down like a waterfall, wrapping the Earth Dragon Egg tightly.

This spiritual energy was purer and more powerful than before, as if it contained the most primitive forces of heaven and earth.

Lin Dong stood aside, feeling the shock of this power, awe filling his heart.

As time passed, the luster of the Earth Dragon Egg’s surface began to change. The originally slightly dull eggshell gradually became crystal clear, as if covered by a mysterious light.

Lin Dong could clearly feel waves of warm and powerful life energy emanating from inside the Earth Dragon Egg, quietly transforming everything.

Suddenly, fine cracks started to appear on the surface of the Earth Dragon Egg, spreading rapidly, accompanied by slight cracking sounds as the eggshell began to fracture.

Lin Dong’s heart was in his throat, holding his breath, afraid to miss any detail.

Followed by a wet little head poking out from the crack, it was a delicate and exquisite Earth Dragon head, covered with tiny scales, shimmering faintly.

Then the entire body of the Little Earth Dragon slowly wriggled out of the eggshell, it vigorously wiggled its body, as if adapting to this new world.

With the complete hatching of the Little Earth Dragon, an even stronger force of life burst forth, the scales on its body gradually becoming hard and shiny, its eyes becoming bright and spirited.

Lin Dong was amazed to find that this Little Earth Dragon not only closely resembled the legendary Earth Dragons but also exuded a pure spiritual energy from the top-grade spiritual vein, as if it was the embodiment of this vein.

The Little Earth Dragon frolicked joyfully amidst the spiritual energy giant dragon, leaping and rolling as if celebrating its newfound life.

Lin Dong stood by, witnessing the whole process, his heart filled with shock and joy. He understood that this was not only a transformation of life but also a turning point of destiny.

”It turns out that the true power of the Earth Dragon Egg can only be fully unleashed under the baptism of this top-grade spiritual vein,” Lin Dong thought to himself, gaining a deeper understanding of the mystery and power of the Earth Dragon Clan.

He looked at the joyful Little Earth Dragon, a surge of indescribable affection welling up in his heart.

At this moment, the Little Earth Dragon suddenly turned its head towards Lin Dong, its eyes filled with trust and gratitude.

Lin Dong knew that in this moment, they had formed a special bond. He smiled and nodded at the Little Earth Dragon, then slowly extended his hand, inviting it to join him on the journey forward.

The Little Earth Dragon seemed to understand Lin Dong’s intent, joyfully swimming to his side, lightly rubbing its head against his hand.

Lin Dong felt a warmth in his heart, gently picking up the Little Earth Dragon and then embarking on the journey back to the surface.

The Little Earth Dragon hovered around him, following Lin Dong, leaving this underground place.

Lin Dong was led by the Little Earth Dragon, navigating the intricate passages of the Earth Dragon Palace, each step seeming to tread on invisible mechanisms, yet miraculously avoiding all dangers.

Within the seemingly immature body of the Little Earth Dragon, it seemed to harbor profound understanding and memory of every inch of the Earth Dragon Palace’s land.

It guided Lin Dong and his group, choosing a secret shortcut even unknown to the most seasoned Earth Dragons.

Shortly after, a weak beam of light filtered through from the front, symbolizing freedom, also indicating their escape from the Earth Dragon Palace.

No, it should not be called an escape; it should be said they walked out!

A surge of indescribable ease and relief rose in Lin Dong’s heart, for he believed their operation was flawless, alerting none of the Earth Dragon Strong People.

However, the truth is often not as simple as it appears.

In the depths of the Earth Dragon Palace, on a throne carved from millennia of Cold Ice, a pair of giant golden eyes slowly opened, seemingly capable of seeing through everything in the world.

This was the Earth Dragon Venerate, the highest authority of the Earth Dragon Clan, having just returned from the Outer World with a faint trace of worry.

Those eyes had witnessed the serene departure of Lin Dong and his group.

”Lord Earth Dragon Venerate, that human is about to leave. Are you really going to let him take the Little Earth Dragon Venerate with him?” a majestic yet kindly Earth Dragon Emperor donning golden scale armor cautiously asked.

Its voice echoed through the empty Earth Dragon Palace, unable to stir any waves.

The Earth Dragon Venerate’s voice, timeless like an ancient echo, was leisurely and deep: ”Since it chose him, why prevent it?”

”A Dragon that hasn’t endured the baptism of storm cannot support a piece of sky in the future. Let it follow that human and train in the Outer World, perhaps it’s the best growth method for it.”

After saying this, the Earth Dragon Venerate’s tone suddenly grew heavy, a trace of unreadable concern flashing in its golden eyes: ”Do you guys know why I left the Earth Dragon Palace this time to head for the Outer World?”

This question, like a stone thrown into the calm lake surface, caught the several Earth Dragon Emperors present off guard.

After a brief silence, a relatively young Earth Dragon Emperor, with a hint of curiosity and unease, spoke first: ”Why?”

The Earth Dragon Venerate slowly sighed, its voice filled with apprehension for the unknown future: ”Because the seal that confines the Blood Ancestor has begun to loosen. The Extraterritorial Blood Clan, those who once brought endless calamities to the continent, are stirring, attempting to once again sweep across this land.”

”I have a premonition, a period of disarray is imminent. In such times, letting the Little Earth Dragon Venerate follow that against-the-heaven human, perhaps it can avoid the coming storms, and in the potential future turbulence, even become the guardian of our Earth Dragon Clan.”

The Earth Dragon Venerate’s words, like a heavy hammer, struck the heart of every Earth Dragon Emperor.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and fear of the unknown fate.

They started realizing that the Earth Dragon Venerate’s decision was not only out of trust and expectation for the Little Earth Dragon Venerate but also a consideration for the long-term future of the entire Earth Dragon Clan.

”Only with sufficient own strength can we stand in the future storms and protect everything we cherish.” The words of the Earth Dragon Venerate, like a light, illuminated the fog in their hearts.

As the Earth Dragon Venerate’s words ended, the entire Earth Dragon Palace seemed to have fallen into a kind of indescribable silence.
