Chapter 386: The Big Dream Golden Rock Evolves

"Buzz!"

Just as Ye Xuan made up his mind about going to the Ancient God Plains, inside his spirit ocean, the Big Dream Golden Rock's World of Dreams suddenly shook and began rapidly expanding.

"Could this be... evolution?"

Sensing this change, Ye Xuan was delighted.

He had anticipated the Big Dream Golden Rock's evolution for quite some time now.

He sent his consciousness towards the Big Dream Golden Rock inside its World of Dreams.

"Buzz!"

Inside the World of Dreams, after the Big Dream Golden Rock had devoured the Big Dream Three Year Herb, its aura grew rapidly.

In only a short matter of time, it evolved from peak platinum-level to diamond-level.

However, the Big Dream Three Year Herb's effect has a limitation.

After the Big Dream Golden Rock had completely refined it and reached diamond-level, the herb's effect wore off.

If it wanted to progress further, Ye Xuan would have to use his beast editor to edit it.

After the evolution, the Big Dream Golden Rock's beast grade dropped to three stars. Ye Xuan briefly examined it and pulled out his beast editor.

"Edit!"

In an instant, as Ye Xuan gave the command, the monarch-level evolutionary resource—Heart of the Dream World—within the Big Dream Golden Rock's World of Dreams disintegrated into a beautifully radiant light and merged into the golden, disk-like body of the Big Dream Golden Rock.

The two integrated into one and evolved rapidly under the power of mystical principles.

"Rumble!"

At the same time, the World of Dreams that had stopped expanding a short while again began expanding once more as the Big Dream Golden Rock's aura erupted.

Low diamond-level... mid diamond-level... high diamond-level!

This time, the Big Dream Golden Rock progressed all the way to high diamond-level before its aura stopped increasing.

"Hmm, high diamond-level?"

Realizing where the Big Dream Golden Rock ultimately ended up, Ye Xuan was deep in thought.

Even at high diamond-level, the Big Dream Golden Rock was still not going to be a great help to him.

But if the Big Dream Golden Rock could manage to evolve to master-level, then it could be of tremendous help to Ye Xuan.

And he would only need to provide it with sufficient evolutionary resources.

With the Big Dream Golden Rock's five stars beast grade, it should not take long for it to evolve to master-level.

With that in mind, Ye Xuan used the beast editor to analyze the Big Dream Golden Rock's attributes.

After the analysis, Ye Xuan shook his head.

The Big Dream Golden Rock did not gain any new abilities after this evolution.

And even though his original abilities all got slightly stronger, the change was very marginal.

But regardless, to the Big Dream Golden Rock, the abilities it previously had was enough.

It did not need all those fancy but useless abilities on top of that.

"Exchange."

As Ye Xuan was checking in with the newly evolved Big Dream Golden Rock, he diverted a part of attention towards the Dragon Palace of the Azure Sea's item redemption list inside his spirit ocean.

He planned on finding a quality piece of evolutionary resource to help it quickly evolve to master-level.

Should nothing unforeseen arises, Ye Xuan was confident that the Big Dream Golden Rock would be his first legendary level beast.

"Dream World's Original Stone."

"Training Heart Dust of the Red Storm."

"Dream Tears of the Heng River."

...

Ye Xuan swiftly picked through all the evolutionary resources related to dream-type beasts.

"Dream Tears of the Heng River!"

That one was not a hard selection to make.

The Dragon Palace of the Azure Sea's item redemption list had a detailed description of every piece of evolutionary resources it contained.

This was why it did not take long before Ye Xuan came across the Dream Tears of the Heng River and made the selection.

This was to be the evolutionary resource that would help the Big Dream Golden Rock quickly evolve to master-level.

The Dream Tears of the Heng River was a mystical object. It did not have a specific level.

According to the description, one drop of the Dream Tears of the Heng River can help a peak diamond-level dream-type beast evolve to master-level in at most twelve to thirteen days.

The residual energy could even help the beast to continue evolving to mid master or high master-level.

Even though the Big Dream Golden Rock was only high diamond-level right now, Ye Xuan felt that it could evolve to master-level within fifteen or sixteen days with the help of the Dream Tears of the Heng River.

Fifteen to sixteen days should not be that long.

And with Ye Xuan's aid, the Big Dream Golden Rock could wield legendary-level power after it evolves.

"Judging from your look, something good must have happened."

At his side, Lin Shiru studied Ye Xuan's expression and laughed.

"Yes. My Big Dream Golden Rock just evolved. This fellow's ability is special. With it at my side, I speculate that it would only take another dozen days before I could take on a legendary-level beast tamer face to face." Ye Xuan nodded.

"Then you are leaving to the Ancient God Plains now?"

Hearing this news from Ye Xuan, Lin Shiru felt genuinely happy for him. However, that joy was quickly swept over by the anxiety and worry at the thought of Ye Xuan going to the Ancient God Plains.

"I have to."

Ye Xuan looked at her and said. "Don't worry. With my current form, even if I can't defeat a legendary-level beast tamer, I can still leave whenever I want. None of them has a chance of preventing me from escaping."

Lin Shiru placed her hands on Ye Xuan and smoothed out his clothes. "I'll wait for you at home," she said softly.

...

"I had a friend who went to the Ancient God Plains yesterday. He ran into Xiahou Ji, who was also going to the Ancient God Plains."

"I heard that you have to stay three days in the Ancient God Plains before you could come back. How did Xiahou Ji go in and out of the plains in only one day?"

As the news of Xiahou Ji slaying the legendary-level Sacred Fire Race beast tamer Gu Anlun spread, everyone was discussing this matter.

Some people revealed that Xiahou Ji went to the Ancient God Plains yesterday.

"Ah, I see. So that's where your understanding falls short. For most people, they would have to stay the full three days before coming back."

"But there are the selected few that are lucky enough to come across certain ruins on Ancient God Plains. They discovered from these ruins a special type of ancient seal that can directly teleport one out of the Ancient God Plains. That is most likely how Xiahou Ji was able to return so quickly."

"And of course, this type of ancient seal is very rare."

"An ancient seal that can directly teleport one out of the Ancient God Plains..."

Standing on a branch of the Tree of World, Ye Xuan scrolled through the information he found on the internet as he made his way towards the Ancient God Plains.

After he read about the usage of this ancient seal, he suddenly had an idea.

If only he could get his hands on a couple hundred of these seals.

Since it can teleport directly out of the Ancient God Plains, it could really come in as a lifesaver someday.

"Second brother!"

Far away on the Ancient God Plains, a man with a disgustingly foul expression and a mark of flame on his forehead sat atop of a mountain peak. Anger engulfed his gaze.

He was none other than the elder brother of the Sacred Fire Race's legendary-level beast tamer An Gulun, An Gucheng.

Earlier, shortly after they arrived at the Ancient God Plains, they encountered Xiahou Ji.

Without a sparing word, Xiahou Ji launched an attack against the two brothers.

At first, they thought Xiahou Ji was a mad man.

But as the battle wore on, they realized Xiahou Ji was unfathomably strong.

Even the two of them together was no match for him.

He barely made it out alive with heavy injuries.

All of his legendary-level beasts sustained terrible injuries.

His second brother An Gulun was killed in the battle by Xiahou Ji.

Just think this brought An Gucheng's anger towards Xiahou Ji to a boiling point.

He wanted to find all the challenger-level and master-level Xia beast tamers in this area and unleash his fury on them.

But the Ancient God Plains was a dangerous place.

And as a legendary-level beast tamer, it would be very difficult for him to come across the master and challenger-level beast tamers of Xia.

On top of that, he was wounded, and all of his beasts were badly injured as well.

He needed to find a place to tend to these injuries first.

But he had to wait three whole days before he could return to the Sacred Fire Race.

Unlike Xiahou Ji, he did not have the ancient seals that could teleport him directly out of the Ancient God Plains.

He must abide by the plains' rules.

"Here."

Shoo!

Back on the Cerulean Planet, the Tree of World carried Ye Xuan for a while until they came across a huge valley.

This valley was within the boundary of Jiangzhou Prefecture.

It was the same space tunnel as the time he went to the Secret Realm of the Four Saints School with Lin Shiru.

"Ye Xuan?"

The beast tamers guarding this place were also the same as before.

After they saw Ye Xuan, they were all astonished.

Ye Xuan's deeds of yesterday had spread across the entire Xia and certainly did not escape the notice of these guards.

But they were shocked to see Ye Xuan entering the Ancient God Planet again. It had only been a night!

Furthermore, he was going to the Ancient God Plains.

"Ye Xuan, I hope your success is bountiful this time as well."

After finishing the necessary registration procedures, one of the guard leaders gave Ye Xuan a smile.

"Thank you for your good word."

Ye Xuan smiled back at him.

After a brief warm-up, Ye Xuan flew into the space vortex towards the Ancient God Plains.

"Leader, Yesterday Ye Xuan killed several hundred master-level beast tamers from the two alliances and got us the master-level zone around the Divine Temple of Hunt. Today Mr. Xiahou killed a legendary-level beast tamer from the Sacred Fire Race."

"Now that Mr. Xiahou had returned from slaying the Sacred Fire Race's legendary-level beast tamer, Ye Xuan is going into the Ancient God Plains. In your opinion, do you think those two are..."

"Hush! This is not something you guys should be chatting about."

The guarding squad leader heard their questions and replied with a glare.

Xiahou Ji's strength was unrivalled in all of Xia.

On the other hand, Ye Xuan's coming up at an unprecedented speed as well.

The actions and intentions of these two powerful men were not something they could casually speculate about.

"Here we go again!"

After Ye Xuan exited the space tunnel, he appeared at the top of a mountain's peak.

"Tidal Treasure Snail!"

As soon as he arrived, Ye Xuan communicated with the Tidal Treasure Snail to open its real-time mini-map.

He wanted to see if there were any changes in its interface after it had evolved to mid master-level.

Back in Xia, he already opened the Tidal Treasure Snail's real-time mini-map to check.

But the Ancient God Plains was a place with a completely different nature than the Xia.

He had always been curious how the Ancient God Plains managed to create its shifting space.

How it managed to prevent higher level beast tamers from appearing in the zones reserved for lower level beast tamers.

If this was before, it would be nearly impossible for him to figure out how.

But as the Tidal Treasure Snail grew stronger and stronger, its sensitivity towards space element was also heightened. He should be able to give it a try now.

"Hmm?"

In an instant, as the Tidal Treasure Snail's real-time mini-map expanded, Ye Xuan made a surprising discovery.

He saw that the areas surrounding his body contained countless space nodes.

Most of these space nodes were in a dormant state.

But there were some space nodes that would move slowly as time progressed.

They interacted with the space nodes around them and formed a type of special formation. They gave off a very faint light.

It appeared that if there were a life form whose power was too strong or too weak to belong here, these nodes would become activated and teleport the life form out of here.

"So that's how it works."

Ye Xuan analyzed these space nodes and deduced the secret of this place.

"In addition, with the sixty thousand miles sensory radius, it would be much easier for me to detect beast tamers from the two alliances than anyone else could."

Then, he began using the Tidal Treasure Snail's real-time mini-map to search around him.

This time, he planned on striking fear into the hearts of the master-level beast tamers from two alliances. He wanted so that they would never dare to step foot in here again.

After that, he wanted to see if there was a way he could get to the diamond or challenger-level zone and cause some ruckus. He would like to be the final boss for once this time.
