《Eternal Sacred King》Chapter 694: Dragon Vein
Advertisement
The dragon vein represented fortune!
Fortune was incorporeal while the dragon vein was corporeal.
“Roar!”
A dragon roar sounded.
A ferocious divine dragon surged up from the ground and coiled with its head raised. It arrived in the palace and reared its head, roaring so loudly it could crush rocks and metals!
This was not a true dragon and it could not even be compared to the phantom of a divine dragon.
It was completely formed from air current and merely possessed the shape of a dragon.
The dragon vein was under this place.
It was because of the Yellow Springs Diagram that the dragon vein could be suppressed!
Now that the Yellow Springs Diagram had appeared into the world, the dragon vein was finally free of its restrictions as well.
The dragon vein was not an actual living being. It was formed by gathering the fortune of the world. After breaking free, its goal was to charge out of the tomb and return to the world.
The moment the dragon vein exited the tomb, it would dissipate.
The fortune would return to the world none the wiser as to which cultivator in the vicinity would receive a trickle of the dragon vein.
All of a sudden!
The Yellow Springs Diagram shone brightly and flapped without wind. Within it, a hazy yellow wave surged out. It was massive and gushed towards the dragon vein, trying to pull the latter within the Yellow Springs Diagram!
“Roar!” “Roar!” “Roar!”
The dragon vein howled in midair and struggled repeatedly as it tried to break free of the Yellow Springs’ absorption.
The two different powers were fighting against one another.
A moment later, the Yellow Springs Diagram seemed like it realized it could not possible devour the entire dragon vein whole.
The yellow river current gathered in a certain spot and smashed against the dragon vein fiercely, breaking up the latter into pieces.
The dragon vein dispersed and turned into streams of dragon-shaped air currents that swam wildly in midair.
Swoosh!
Immediately after, a series of massive waves rose from the yellow river once more, attempting to drown the five parts of the dragon vein and pull them into the Yellow Springs Diagram. It was augmenting itself onto Little Fatty’s body!

It was exactly as Lin Xuanji had predicted.
Even with the help of the Yellow Springs Diagram, Little Fatty could only absorb 50% of the dragon vein!
Lin Xuanji stood out and declared with a confident smile, “Everyone, I won’t be standing on courtesy!”
Lin Xuanji hung the folding fan in his hands casually on his waist and reached out with both hands. He circulated his Golden Core and conjured a series of spirit arts that were dizzying.
As the spirit arts were formed, a massive chessboard filled with black and white chess pieces appeared behind Lin Xuanji, spinning wildly.
The chessboard seemed as though it could divine the secrets of the universe and the life of all beings!
“Go!”
Lin Xuanji pointed at the front.
The chessboard enlarged repeatedly and blanketed the top of the palace.
Spiraling slowly, it emitted a mysterious aura.
The dragon vein air currents surged wildly in midair but their path of exit was completely sealed by the chessboard!
“Hehe, don’t bother trying to escape!”
Lin Xuanji smiled brightly and released his spirit perception as streams of spirit light surged from his fingertip into the chessboard.
Some of the dragon vein air currents started surging into the chessboard before entering Lin Xuanji’s body.
Most of the dragon vein air currents shuttled around the palace like headless flies, even passing by monkey and the others.
“Ha!”
The spirit tiger reached out with his massive paws and grabbed onto one of the dragon vein air currents, yelling, “Let’s see you run!”
The dragon vein air current dissipated immediately against his grab.
However, the fortune was not augmented onto him.
Monkey, the Golden Lion, Qing Qing and little fox all attempted as well but none of them could catch hold of the dragon vein.
“How does one get their hands on this stupid thing!”
The spirit tiger glared at Lin Xuanji with displeasure and a hint of envy as the latter captured the dragon vein.
Lin Xuanji remarked gleefully as he controlled the chessboard, “Brother Tiger, character is important when it comes to fortune. Your character just doesn’t cut it, haha!”
In reality, a secret technique was required to capture the dragon vein.

To begin with, the Founder Master of Enigma Palace, Fairy Ling Long, was an expert of great fortune. She naturally understood how to capture the dragon vein as well as the fortune in the world.
Monkey and the others were merely demon beasts – there was no way they would understand such things.
“F*ck…!”
The spirit tiger almost exploded from the smug look on Lin Xuanji’s face!
The spirit tiger turned to monkey with a frustrated expression and asked with clenched teeth, “Brother Monkey, can I bash him up?”
“Sure,”
Monkey nodded and continued, “But… I doubt you can win him…”
Spirit tiger: “…”
“Roar!”
Suddenly, a shuddering roar echoed through the palace!
This roar was extremely similar to the dragon roar earlier on but it was much more frightening!
Majestic and vicissitude, it swept through the nine heavens in a grand manner!
Compared to this roar, the dragon roar released by the dragon vein earlier was akin to the roar of an infant dragon.
Everyone turned towards the voice instinctively.
Not far away, Su Zimo was motionless. However, there was a divine dragon several dozens feet long coiling around his body. It possessed actual flesh and blood and was lined with dragon scales that shimmered coldly.
A series of sharp spikes protruded from the spine of the divine dragon and it had sharp claws and majestic horns!
Its eyes were cold and authoritative as they looked down on the masses!
Su Zimo hovered in midair within the coiled dragon wearing his green robes. His black hair danced and his eyes were deep as his aura climbed endlessly like a divine being that was meant to rule over the world!
It was as though the divine dragon was a pet of his!
Monkey, the spirit tiger and the others had seen Su Zimo release this technique before in the battle at the ancient city and were rather composed.
However, Little Fatty and Shi Jian were stupefied.
Even Lin Xuanji was dumbfounded and froze on the spot, even forgetting to release his spirit art.
A moment later, he muttered, “That’s the secret skill of the Human Emperor, Ancient Dragonification Art!”
Su Zimo nodded.
It was no wonder why Enigma Palace was a super sect of Tianhuang Mainland and was related to the Human Emperor as well.
Among everyone of the same generation, Lin Xuanji was the only one who identified the Ancient Dragonification Art.
“Roar!” “Roar!” “Roar!”
After the emergence of the Ancient Dragonification Art, the initially chaotic dragon vein air currents in the palace surged towards Su Zimo’s body as though they had found a home.
It was a spectacular sight as though hundreds of rivers were converging into the ocean!
“Fu*k!””
Lin Xuanji snapped to his senses in envy.
He arrived at this place painstakingly after crossing through endless traps and not taking any treasures all for the sake of the dragon vein.
Yet, Su Zimo was the one who stood to gain at the end of the day!
“Su Zimo, I’ll fight you!”
Lin Xuanji shrieked and circulated his Golden Core with all his might. His hands formed seals even faster and spirit energy surged even more wildly.
A powerful suction force was produced from the chessboard at the top of the palace!
However, the stronger the suction force was, the faster the dragon vein air currents converged towards Su Zimo.
In less than ten minutes, 80% of the remaining 50% dragon vein was snatched away by Su Zimo, leaving only 20% for Lin Xuanji.
“Hahaha! That’s your due desserts!”
The spirit tiger roared in laughter at Lin Xuanji’s frustrated expression. “Good job, brother! Piss him off to death!”
Little fox smiled brightly and said aptly, “Mister Lin, your character can’t cut it either.”
In truth, it was only a stroke of inspiration for Su Zimo to release the Ancient Dragonification Art.
He had not thought that he would steal away 80% of the remaining dragon vein from Lin Xuanji after releasing the secret skill!
Part of the reason was because the dragon vein air current had a closer connection to the aura of the Ancient Dragonification Art.
Another person was because this was a secret skill of the Human Emperor that was created using the secrets of Heaven and Earth. It was not surprising that it could steal away the fortune from Lin Xuanji’s hands.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
