Eternal Dragon Emperor Chapter 255 256: Abnormality in the Body

Ye Tian sprinted toward the corner. Just a mont ago, he had seen a golden light burst forth from that spot. It vanished in a flash, but he had seen it with perfect clarity.

However, when he reached the corner of the cave, he saw nothing, let alone the golden light. This left Ye Tian feeling very confused.

'Did my eyes play a trick on ? But that golden light felt so real,' Ye Tian murmured to himself.

He carefully scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense again, but found nothing. 'Maybe I'm just overly sensitive to the Gold Elent and it was an illusion. I wonder when the Snake King will be back.'

Although he suspected it was an illusion, Ye Tian still felt a little unwilling to give up. Since the Snake King hadn't returned yet, he decided to investigate the corner more thoroughly.

With a thought, he summoned the Black Glaze Sword from his Storage Ring. He wanted to see if there was anything special underground. 'There must be a reason the Golden Bull Demon chose this place for its lair.'

After slowly circulating the Dragon Spiritual Power within his body, he flicked his wrist and swung his sword at the ground. A powerful Sword Qi imdiately struck the earth.

Following a loud BANG, a huge, deep pit appeared in the ground. But he didn't find anything, much to his disappointnt.

But the Black Glaze Sword in his hand didn't stop. After several more strikes, the corner of the cave was a complete ss. Despite the imnse power of the attacks, no rocks had fallen from the cave's ceiling.

At this point, Ye Tian stopped. 'If there were anything special underground, I should have found it by now.' He looked around, but saw nothing but rubble and large pits everywhere.

"It seems I really was seeing things. How could a light from Gold Elental Energy appear here?" Ye Tian said with a sigh.

Ye Tian then walked back toward the spot where he had been cultivating, preparing to sit down. But just a few steps later, the golden light flashed again before vanishing.

This ti, although he didn't see it directly, he clearly saw the surroundings illuminated by the golden light that had appeared in the cave. He spun around in a hurry.

When he turned, everything was calm again. Seeing it so clearly this ti convinced Ye Tian that there truly was a Gold Elent Energy Body here. Perhaps there was even a Gold Elent Vein.

A thrill of excitent went through him at the thought. However, Ye Tian didn't start searching around again. 'Since the golden light has flashed twice in such a short ti, I'm sure it will appear again soon.'

'This ti, I have to pinpoint its exact location. It's the only way to resolve this mystery.'

Ye Tian stood there quietly, his eyes fixed on the devastated corner of the cave. But after a long while, there was still no movent. Just then, the Snake King walked in from outside the cave.

"Young Master, what are you doing standing here? Don't tell a Demon Beast got into the cave? Why is this place such a ss?" the Snake King asked, surprised.

"Snake King, your timing is perfect," Ye Tian said. "I just saw a Gold Attribute light flash twice in this cave, but even after tearing this place apart, I haven't found anything strange. Do you know what's going on?"

The Snake King glanced at Ye Tian and asked, "Young Master, are you certain a Gold Elent light flashed here? And not sothing from a Demon Beast?"

"Of course I'm sure," Ye Tian replied. "With your poison guarding the entrance, how could a Demon Beast possibly get in? Is there sothing special about this place?"

The look on the Snake King's face showed that he was also very surprised. 'This must an my guess was right.'

The Snake King didn't answer Ye Tian's question imdiately. Instead, he carefully examined the large pits Ye Tian had created.

Ye Tian knew the Snake King must be using his Divine Sense to check if what he'd said was true. The Snake King's expression was grave, his face flashing with surprise, which made Ye Tian's own heart leap with anticipation.

The Snake King was a Five Vein Powerhouse, so his Perception Power was certainly much stronger than Ye Tian's. After a good while, the Snake King finally said to Ye Tian, "Young Master, it's very likely that what you saw is real. However, it's protected by a very faint Barrier, which is preventing my Divine Sense from penetrating it."

"Perhaps you will only be able to find the exact location once you have completely mastered the Gold Elent. If you do find it, you'll be able to obtain a great deal of Gold Elent ore—or rather, Elental Ore Crystals."

"If you're lucky, you might even find a Gold Elental Pearl. That's an incredibly rare treasure, countless tis better than the Magic Crystal of a Gold-Elent Demon Beast."

At first, Ye Tian was a little disappointed by the Snake King's words, but when he heard about the possibility of a Gold Elental Pearl, his spirits soared.

'If I can get that Gold Elental Pearl, I can cultivate Gold Slash to the Perfect Realm. Then I can start cultivating the next slash, Wood Slash.'

"Snake King," Ye Tian said with a serious expression, "it will take so ti to fully comprehend the Gold Elent, and of course, that will require a large number of Gold Elent Magic Crystals. So, I'll have to trouble you for a while."

"Don't worry, Young Master. There are plenty of Gold-Elent Demon Beasts in the High-Level Demon Beast Region. As long as you need them, I will go hunt those Demon Beasts and get their Magic Crystals."

"Here are the Magic Crystals from the Gold-Elent Demon Beasts I just hunted. This should be enough for you to absorb for a while," the Snake King said.

This ti, he actually took out more than fifty golden Magic Crystals, several tis more than the last ti.

The reason the Snake King hadn't obtained many Magic Crystals last ti was mainly because he had been worried about Ye Tian's safety. He hadn't left any protections behind when he left, but this ti, he had sprayed poison to guard the cave entrance.

Because of this, he was able to venture farther to hunt Gold Attribute Demon Beasts. 'With so many Gold Elent Magic Crystals,' Ye Tian thought, 'I'm sure I'll be able to master Gold Slash.'

"Thank you, Snake King. I'll call you if I need more. You should get so rest, too. Killing so many Demon Beasts must have been exhausting," Ye Tian said.

The Snake King nodded slightly and walked over to the entrance of the cave. He didn't want to disturb Ye Tian's cultivation.

Ye Tian sat on the ground and began absorbing the Energy from the Gold Attribute Magic Crystals, splitting his focus. This ti, he absorbed it extrely quickly, so much so that his ridians could barely handle the strain.

The Gold Elent within his body gradually increased, filling Ye Tian with a sense of relief. However, a strange phenonon occurred. He saw two beads, each smaller than a soybean, appear inside his Dantian.

They were so small he wouldn't have noticed them if he hadn't looked closely. One bead was golden, while the other flickered with a faint light of lightning.
