The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming - Chapter 786

Chapter 786: Chapter 780: Candle Dragon Palace

“What defect?” David Jones said, his expression unchanged.

“The Celestial Dungeon is a perilous battlefield left behind after the fight between the Time Dragon and the Aerial Radiant Dragon. The Arcane Force inside is volatile and chaotic, occasionally unleashing terrifying spatial and temporal Arcane Force tides.

Even King-class powerhouses can only barely survive in it for a week. Otherwise, once the tide invades their bodies, there is a risk of significant lifespan loss,” Jettel said gravely.

“Although the time-related Arcane Force concentration in the Celestial Dungeon is sufficient, in such a harsh environment, any Contract Pet daring to evolve within the dungeon would trigger the residual spatial and temporal tides from the clash of the two Dominant Dragons, the accumulation of countless years’ worth of power in the Celestial Dungeon.”

“By then, even a Class VIII Emperor would have no chance of survival, let alone Pets below Class VII,” Dr. Jettel sighed, locking eyes with David Jones.

“Doctor, I understand what you are saying. If it’s not feasible, I will choose to give up,” David Jones said seriously, looking at Jettel.

“I believe there are always more solutions than difficulties!”

Having said that, he stood up, ready to take his leave, and searched for another approach to explore evolutionary paths.

David Jones could see that, despite Dr. Jettel’s constant warnings against wasting time, evidently, Dr. Jettel had not given up hope.

Dr. Jettel fell silent and his face revealed a wry smile.

“What’s the use of finding it? It’s still a path that cannot be traversed—a dead end.”

Hearing this, David Jones paused mid-action, his eyes lighting up slightly.

“I’ve scoured all ancient tomes and found that if there really is a Dungeon capable of manifesting the Time Law in this world, it probably only existed in the East Sea Dragon Palace of ancient times, which has long disappeared into the annals of history, leaving no trace to be found,” Jettel slowly closed his eyes.

Upon hearing this, David Jones unexpectedly glanced at the Star Ring, furrowing his brows.

What’s going on?

Could there really be such a coincidence in this world?

The situation had come full circle, unexpectedly returning to him. David Jones had not forgotten that he had a Dragon Palace plaque in his possession.

Regrettably, this Dragon Palace plaque belonged to the West Sea Dragon Palace, not the East Sea Dragon Palace Dr. Jettel had mentioned.

Thinking of this, David Jones subconsciously looked towards Daphne.

Was all this the work of Daphne’s Destiny, or was there a hidden hand deliberately orchestrating these events from behind the scenes?

After contemplating for a moment, David Jones asked, “Why the East Sea Dragon Palace?”

Dr. Jettel’s face showed helplessness, lightly tapping on his wrist device.

“I have sent you all the materials related to Time Evolution. Next, I have research to attend to.”

“After you’ve read them and if you have any questions, we can chat privately on Q Chat.”

Upon hearing this, David Jones stood up to take his leave, feeling somewhat relieved.

Luckily, he had made the trip today, or he might have regretted it in the future!

…

No sooner had David Jones returned to Rosewood Garden than Dr. Jettel’s materials were sent to him.

After quickly looking through hundreds of Pet Evolution records, David Jones opened the specially marked [Legend of the Dragon Palace] by the doctor.

After an hour, David Jones reached a conclusion.

In ancient times, the Time Dragon had a close relationship with the East Sea Dragon God, a relationship that could be described as both teacher and friend.

To express the East Sea Dragon Palace’s respect for the Dominant Dragon, the East Sea Dragon God suggested using the power of the Four Seas and a vast amount of rare Pet Resources to construct the most luxurious Dragon Palace ever for their teacher, the Time Dragon, thereby establishing majesty.

No dragon within the Four Seas dared to object, and the Candle Dragon Palace was smoothly built over a hundred years.

Water is not deep without dragons, for they bring spiritual essence.

As the abode of the Time Dragon, Dr. Jettel speculated that the Candle Dragon Palace must at least be a Guardian-level Dungeon, and within it most certainly lies the presence of the Time Law.

Unfortunately, the Candle Dragon Palace is hidden within the river of time, and unless personally guided by the Time Dragon, not even the Immortals could find the existence of the Candle Dragon Palace.

“The Candle Dragon Palace was constructed jointly by the Four Seas Dragon Palace, which means that the plaques of the West Sea Dragon Palace might also possess a method to access the Candle Dragon Palace!”

With that thought, David Jones took out a jade plaque from his Star Ring, his gaze shifting back and forth between Goldy and the Gluttonous Beast.

“Do you two want to give it another try?”

To activate the plaque, a high degree of Dragon heritage was required. True Dragons below the level of Emperor Dragon had almost no chance of success.

Previously, both the Gluttonous Beast and Goldy had tried once, and the Dragon Palace plaque showed no response, so David Jones simply put it away as the last resort.

“Roar.”

The Gluttonous Beast nodded and, under Loona’s expectant gaze, placed its claw on the plaque, then activated its Dragon Force.

One second… five seconds… ten seconds… a minute passed, but the plaque remained silent.

“Squeak!” (Let me try!)

Goldy followed the Gluttonous Beast’s method but, as expected, nothing happened.

It glanced at Loona whose eyes were faintly showing disappointment, gritted its teeth, and a trace of pure golden Dragon Blood dripped onto the Dragon Palace plaque and disappeared without a trace.

“There’s no need to force it,” David Jones stopped Goldy, taking out a jar of Flameless Dark Dragon Blood from his Star Ring and pouring it decisively.

“Splish Splash!”

Drops of pure, crystal-like Dragon Blood melted into the plaque like snowflakes, making it shine brightly for the first time.

“Damn, it actually worked,” David Jones rejoiced inwardly.

Unfortunately, after about a minute, the shining light of the plaque completely faded away.

[Dragon Palace Plaque (Charging 1/4)]: A Level VIII Legendary arcane implement, this plaque, once revived, can connect to the marine Dungeon occupied by the West Sea Dragon Palace, to receive the inheritance of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Note: This arcane implement can be charged once a week, and once fully revived, it will no longer require charging.

David Jones looked up at the anxious Loona with a smile, “Don’t worry, in twenty-one days we can head to the West Sea Dragon Palace.”

“Squeak!”

Loona nodded excitedly.

…

Elsewhere, at the top floor of the Federation of Trainer Guild building, a slender woman with an extraordinary aura respectfully stood outside the office door, waiting quietly.

“Come in,” a voice came from inside the room.

With a slight step forward, the woman appeared inside the office without even opening the door.

“President,” the woman respectfully handed over the documents in her hand.

“This is the latest resource allocation list from the Federation of Trainer Guild. All the unreserved Level VIII Legendary Pet Resources within the country are listed here…”

Deity Ott took the list, glanced over it, and right there on the first page, in the first column, was the coveted Level VIII S tier Pet Resource [Red Emperor Dragon Dragon Ball].

However, his expression remained calm, without even pausing before he turned to the next page.

Suddenly, the only sounds in the room were those of turning and tearing pages.

After a while, Deity Ott stopped, handing the significantly thinner list back to the woman.

“Mattel Wright, take this list to David Jones, let him pick any one of them,” he said, then lowered his head to continue working.

“Yes,” Mattel Wright said, surprise in her eyes.

In the country, every legendary fighter who received a title was awarded a Level VIII Legendary Pet Resource from the Federation of Trainer Guild as a prize.

But she didn’t expect the President to break the rule and let David Jones choose freely, which was quite astonishing!
