Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2529: Dragon Scale Armor

Fire Dragon Island has thousands of disciples, but this time when the Dragon Blood Pool opens, only ten disciples have met the criteria to enter and cultivate there, including Senior Sister Li and Junior Sister Long.For them, this is a rare honor.

"Entering the Dragon Blood Pool is an opportunity for advancement, but it depends on individual fortune! I don’t wish to sustain it for the full forty-nine days of perfection, just lasting ten days or half a month is enough, and my strength should greatly improve by then!"

Although Senior Sister Li said this, in her heart she naturally hoped that she could last until the period of perfection.

After all, according to the history of Fire Dragon Island, any disciple who could soak in the Dragon Blood Pool for forty-nine days could advance at least one minor realm in cultivation.

There were even rare cases where exceptionally gifted individuals had created miracles by advancing two minor realms consecutively.

This fills all disciples of Fire Dragon Island with longing, hoping that one day, such good fortune would come to them.

"As for you..."

Senior Sister Li’s gaze fell on Junior Sister Long’s face, which was eighty percent delicate and twenty percent heroic, and said with envy, "Master says you possess innate fire spiritual roots and have also swallowed Immortal Fire, your constitution is special, with the aura of an Empress. Not only does Master, but all the senior figures of Fire Dragon Island have high hopes for you this time!"

"With the aura of an Empress" is perhaps the highest praise for a female immortal.

However, upon hearing this, Junior Sister Long neither felt flattered nor showed pride, she only smiled modestly.

"Master hopes to seize this opportunity as the Dragon Blood Pool opens, for me to advance two minor realms. But just as Senior Sister Li mentioned earlier, such matters depend on individual fortune, who can truly predict how many minor realms one might advance?"

Senior Sister Li nodded and said, "Yes, I think if Master and the others care too much about advancement, it will put great pressure on you, right? Actually, you don’t need to concern yourself too much, just follow your fate!"

Junior Sister Long chuckled effortlessly, "I haven’t been concerned! Do you see any sign of anxiety or trepidation on me?"

Senior Sister Li’s gaze flickered across her face, she shook her head and said, "No. I’ve realized, you are an immortal who lets nothing weigh on your heart, that’s something I can’t do, so I greatly admire you!"

After a pause, she continued, "But as for Master, he’s been in a frenzy lately due to the approaching opening of the Dragon Blood Pool!"

Upon hearing her mention Master, the image of a feeble old immortal appeared before Junior Sister Long, warming her heart slightly, she then smiled and asked, "What’s wrong with Master now?"

Senior Sister Li said, "Master says the Dragon Blood Pool is too perilous. For your safety, he wants to retrieve the Dragon Scale Armor for you. Dragon Scale Armor is our Fire Dragon Island’s treasured artifact. Once you put on the Dragon Scale Armor and enter the Dragon Blood Pool, your ability to resist the erosion of Dragon Blood’s immortal power will be greatly enhanced..."

Upon hearing "Dragon Scale Armor," Junior Sister Long’s eyes brightened.

Rumor has it that the Dragon Scale Armor was crafted by fusing a scale from the Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor, thin as wings, when worn it resembles a layer of fiery red sheer, yet its defensive ability is exceptionally strong.

However, the Dragon Scale Armor is suspended above the entrance to the Island Master Hall, suppressed by the emperor’s aura, ordinary immortals can’t even approach it, let alone take it down and wear it, as approaching it would trigger a warning from the aura formed into killing intent.

Since the founding of Fire Dragon Island, the Dragon Scale Armor has been hung by the first Island Master, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, to serve as a protection for the island.

Because the location of Fire Dragon Island is superb, it is a Cultivation Holy Land at sea, many immortals wished to seize it for themselves, but were ultimately deterred by the emperor’s aura of the Dragon Scale Armor.

It can be said that the uninterrupted peace of Fire Dragon Island is largely thanks to the existence of that set of Dragon Scale Armor.

The first Island Master of Fire Dragon Island, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, is said to have the bloodline of the Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor flowing within him, and it was with an ancestral scale that he personally crafted the Dragon Scale Armor to safeguard the peace of Fire Dragon Island.

The era in which the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor reigned over the Immortal Realm was tens of thousands of years ago, and later passed the position of Island Master to a later disciple, after which he disappeared without a trace.

Whether a grand Immortal Emperor eventually perished from exhaustion of life force or achieved the status of Great Emperor and ascended to a legendary higher plane remains unknown.

This Junior Sister Long on Fire Dragon Island is indeed the Dragon Maiden who ascended from the lower realm.

Ten years ago, when the Dragon Maiden faced danger during her training in the Immortal Realm, she was fortunate to have the current Island Master of Fire Dragon Island come to her aid.

Grateful for the kindness, the Dragon Maiden followed back to Fire Dragon Island and became the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s direct disciple.

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor couldn’t have been more pleased when, due to a moment of kindness, he accepted a heaven’s chosen maiden with innate fire spiritual roots who had swallowed Immortal Fire.

The position of Island Master passed to the generation of the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor saw a decline in talent and aptitude, each generation inferior to the last, and the fame of Fire Dragon Island had long diminished.

Thus, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor placed his hope in revitalizing Fire Dragon Island’s prestige on the Dragon Maiden.

Fire Dragon Island poured an abundance of resources into the cultivation of the Dragon Maiden, who did not disappoint, her cultivation level advanced rapidly, now reaching the fourth-grade Immortal King Realm, with combat prowess rivaling the most powerful senior brothers and sisters on the island, becoming the most dazzling figure among the younger disciples of Fire Dragon Island.

For this disciple, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor treasures her like a jewel, not wishing any harm to come to her.

Yet the perilousness of the Dragon Blood Pool is well-known to the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, and personally experienced; cultivating there for forty-nine days is no easy feat, and since the founding of Fire Dragon Island, few disciples have managed it.

Therefore, for the sake of the Dragon Maiden, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor contemplated how to take down and give the Dragon Scale Armor to his cherished disciple for protection.

"The Dragon Scale Armor has sentience, ordinary immortals couldn’t approach it at all! Although the Island Master can approach, he cannot touch or handle it, how can it be taken down for you to wear? That’s why he’s so troubled!"

Senior Sister Li continued.

Dragon Maiden asked, "Where is the Island Master now?"

Senior Sister Li replied, "He is in front of the Island Master Hall! When I came to find you earlier, the Island Master was scratching his head while looking at the Dragon Scale Armor!"

Dragon Maiden said, "It’s not necessary to wear the Dragon Scale Armor to enter the Dragon Blood Pool! Master’s just worried about me getting slightly hurt... Come on, let’s go have a look!"

So the two female immortals gathered Immortal Qi and rode on auspicious clouds toward the large island at the dragon head of Fire Dragon Island.

On the large island, a majestic Immortal Hall stood, rainbows arching above, surrounded by auspicious immortal birds, presenting an ethereal scene.

The place in the Immortal Hall that attracted immortals’ gaze wasn’t anywhere else but above the hall entrance where that set of armor was hanging.

The armor was fiery red in color, thin as a cicada’s wing, shining brilliantly with the reflection of the sky and sea, dazzling and eye-catching, like a scarf made from the colors of the sunset.

Some disciples of Fire Dragon Island flying from afar on the large island couldn’t help but cast a glance at that fiery armor, revealing a look of reverence in their gaze.

Though this Immortal Hall is the Island Master Hall, it does not require any disciple to guard it, as the presence of that fiery armor makes no immortal dare to rashly assault it.
