Chapter 1269: Chapter 1273: Gluttonous Lunar Eclipse Dragon

“Our Nie Family once mastered a secret art that could identify those divine beasts and Divine Dragons that fell from the Dragon Gate to the mortal realm. Even though they became Ordinary Spirits, their past glory means that even as Young Dragons, their potential is boundless. Our Nie Hill’s Dragon Garden here collects those Ordinary Spirits that have fallen from the Dragon Gate…” Herioc Moon Xian said.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the guests all showed a touch of anticipation.

All of them are mystical Divine Beasts from the Dragon Gate!

After failing to ascend, they transformed into Ordinary Spirits and then cultivated anew to become Young Dragons!

In other words, every Young Dragon in this Dragon Garden was once a dominator of its realm, and some even once roared through the Dragon Gate!

“My Nie Mountain Immortal Clan has gone through a bloody storm, and though I am now holding the banner, the clan is not thriving, and the people are not prospering. We will need everyone’s support in the future. To show appreciation for the immortals who have traveled from afar and for the younger generations from various Immortal Clans who have come to offer congratulations, you may all take a Young Dragon from this Dragon Garden,” Herioc Moon Xian continued.

“For such a generous gift, we thank Herioc Moon Xian on behalf of the younger generations!” The crowd hurriedly paid their respects again.

The Spirit of Divine Election, although they are the failed ones from the Dragon Gate, the probability that they will transform into dragons and ascend to become Immortal Gods again is very high.

Being able to take away a Young Dragon from here is essentially equivalent to having reserved a Divine Dragon of the Star God Realm, and if well nurtured, their rise is inevitable!

Directly offering a Divine Dragon would perhaps not be appreciated due to the deep resources of the seated Immortal Clans, but if it’s a Young Dragon, and especially one that is a Dragon Gate’s Spirit of Divine Election, then the meaning is entirely different!

The potential of these Young Dragons is immeasurable!!

“However, since they are once Dragon Gate’s Divine Chosen, their minds are far superior to wild Young Dragons. Taking them away is not an easy task; even among our own disciples, many are unable to tame these Young Dragons,” Herioc Moon Xian said next.

“The younger ones all like to show off. Why don’t we have Herioc Moon Xian’s attendants pick some fine Young Dragons and then let the juniors come up on stage to demonstrate their Dragon Taming skills. If they succeed, they could sign a contract on the spot?” White-haired Moonshine God suggested.

“Of course, we still have some time before the evening banquet, everyone could comment while enjoying the tea. If there’s a liking for any junior, taking them as a personal Disciple would be excellent.”

“All right, we’ve always talked about letting the disciples learn from each other but never had the chance. This opportunity is just right…”

“The juniors select Dragons, and we seniors select disciples, very good, very good.”

The elders from these Immortal Houses gathered together and decided the fate of the jovial young boys and girls below in just a few simple exchanges.

In the mortal world, there are many artists who would send their children to friends or other masters to learn, not because as parents or elders they can’t teach or their skills are lacking, but because they can’t bear to be too strict with their own children; they soften when their child speaks of hardship…

But whatever one learns, there is bound to be hardship.

Growing up under their own wing, after all, they will not withstand great storms.

Even if they are not becoming personal Disciples, it is very necessary to send them to another Immortal’s House to learn for three years while they are young and need to cultivate their temperament, after all, the Dragon Shepherd has many different sects…

“It’s still early, I’ll have someone prepare,” Herioc Moon Xian said.

“Everyone agrees, once the person is taken away, you must teach them with care.”

“If you, old fellow, can’t bear to let your grandson leave, then don’t let him go.”

“Don’t worry, Ju Lao’s precious grandson is too pampered, nobody will choose him as a Disciple.”

“Hahaha!!”

…

Zhu Minglang originally thought the Mysterious Dragon Garden was merely a place for keeping peculiar little pets for pure enjoyment.

However, after entering it, Zhu Minglang found that the young dragons here were all extraordinary. Although they were still young and growing, each of them possessed high spiritual wisdom, and most importantly, Zhu Minglang could always detect a trace of peculiar divinity in these dragons…

“QiQi, where were these young dragons captured from?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

“That’s a secret of our Nie Family, unless you become an inner clan member of the Nie Clan,” Nie Qiqi responded.

“That’s easy, just marry into the Nie Family,” Dong Yi, the young lady beside, said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Nie Qiqi’s eyes widened in anger and she retorted to her best friend Dong Yi, “What are you blabbering about!”

“What are you nervous about? Aren’t there other women in your Nie Immortal Clan!” Dong Yi countered.

Nie Qiqi hadn’t felt anything initially, but teased by Dong Yi in such a way, her little ears quickly turned red.

“I was just casually asking. If it’s your family’s clan secret, then forget it.” Zhu Minglang’s attention was on the peculiar dragons, and he didn’t pay much attention to the playfulness between the two young girls.

However, other people started to tease, and several girls who were close to Nie Qiqi huddled together and began to whisper among themselves.

“QiQi, where did you meet him, and why did he give you such an expensive gift? I really like this dress too…”

“His eyes are so beautiful. I’ve been stealing glances at him all the way here, don’t believe me? You guys can sneak a peek later,” a girl in rose-colored clothes asked.

“I wanted to ask you earlier, which Immortal Clan is he from? Did he come from the Jun Tian Sky Capital? I heard your Nie Immortal House has close relations with the Heavenly Capital Immortal Clan. Is he a disciple of the Sun God Clan?” Dong Yi asked with a strange expression, as if interrogating.

“No, no, he’s just a playmate I’ve just met. He doesn’t seem to be from any prominent Immortal Clan, probably a distant relative of someone serving in our clan…” Nie Qiqi explained.

“Is that so??” the girl in rose-colored clothes said with some disappointment.

“But you’re right, his eyes really are quite attractive…” Nie Qiqi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

…

“ROAR!!!!!!”

Suddenly, a small young dragon rushed in from a confinement platform nearby, disturbing the group of little fairies who were sharing girlish secrets!

They were startled and hurriedly ran toward the boys.

However, the confinement platform immediately emitted several black beams, which densely interwove into a cage, trapping the fierce young dragon within the confinement platform.

The confinement platform was large, resembling an ancient Earth Altar, and evidently, that young dragon inhabited there. However, whenever it tried to leave, the black confinement light would repel it back.

“What dragon is this, and why is it confined alone in an ancient altar?” Dong Yi asked.

“It’s a Gluttonous Dragon, also known as a Moon-Eating Dragon. Legend has it that it’s one of the greater calamities. It has consumed countless Star Continents and even moons; some Divine Lands suddenly lose their moonlight and experience lunar eclipses because of it!” said the white-haired young man at that moment.
