Chapter 279: Don’t You Hate Us, Dragons?
Ao Shun thought in his mind, "This guy is really something. The more I try to understand him, the more I get surprised. Truly a freaking genius."
He then replied, "You can say that I was already a dead man long time ago. But before I went to the Realm war, I also got the opportunity to leave my legacy through this stone statue. But, hahaha, no one knows that I have a very intrinsic skill that was born with me. I have the bloodline skill to produce a second body with the exact same as my main body. But to use it, I need to eradicate my first body completely both in soul and consciousness, too. I used that skill and put the egg of my secondary body inside this very stone statue secretly, putting a forbidden sealing spell all over the eggshell." "Boy, I should thank you instead. The time your consciousness entered this stone statue, the seal finally broke. I think it might have something to do with you being the Soul Devouring Dragon, as it would be impossible for someone at your level of cultivation to break this seal. So, now you can also say that I am alive now with a new body. "
"Senior Ao Shun, isn't it the same as a clone body? What about your soul sea and consciousness? Even the clone needed a portion of them from the OriginaL body." Chun Churan asked, this time with confusion.
"Good question, little girl." Ao Shun, the black dragon king, said. He then waved his hand toward them and continued speaking, "Come sit here talking while standing is not really a good manner for me."
The next moment, something changed around the hut and they were sitting on a chair each inside the room. "Have some tea too?" Ao Shun spoke again. The following moment, Joey and Chun Churan each held a teacup in their hands.
"You are right, little doll. Even a clone needs a portion of consciousness and soul to make it work. But mine is not really a clone. In order for the secondary body to activate, the primary body needs to die first physically, including both soul and consciousness. The secondary body will come back to alive with the same soul and consciousness. We can consider it as a forbidden technique of mine. I can use it twice for every 100 years. Which means I have three lives for every 100 years each. If someone kills me three times within a century, then I will really die for sure. This is my only secret that no one in my time knew about. But there is still a huge drawback to this skill, too."
Joey and Chun Churan took a sip of the tea and listened carefully.
"What is it, senior Ao Shun?" Joey asked briskly.
"Even though my original consciousness and soul return to the secondary body and it becomes the next primary body, my memory will still be incomplete. It will seal all the memories after the time of making the secondary body. My new life will not have the memory of the time exactly after the spell of that skill was cast. But, those memories will come back to me gradually with time. Truthfully, I actually don't like those memories to come back as every time I begin to remember those seal memories part by part, I feel the exact same pain, both soul and physical, during my time of death. So, practically I can say that I have died multiple times." Ao Shun, the black dragon king, explained. He then looked at Joey and asked, "Boy, do you now understand the hidden meaning of my last words that I left on the stone platform?"
Joey remembered the words; 'Are you ready to die?' written over the stone platform just below the black dragon stone statue. He nodded and said, "Now, I understand it, senior."
"To inherit my inheritance, one needs to have a powerful mind and must not fear the dead, as they are going to die several times. That is what I mean written there." Ao Shun, the black dragon king, said.
As Joey and Chun Churan kept drinking tea, they suddenly began to materialize in physical form and become part of the world that they were currently inside.
Seeing that, Ao Shun smiled and said, looking at Joey, "It's time to take your test. Boy, you are the first and the only person who surprises me this much today. So I change my mind. I shall set your test 3 times. No, 10 times more difficult than the original test." "Go!" he shouted and flicked his finger toward him and the next moment Joey disappeared out of thin air as if he was never at that place from the beginning.
"No, brother Joey!" Chun Churan screamed in panic and shouted at Ao Shun as if she had lost her mind.
"Ah! This doll." Ao Shun was happy to see her freaking out. "Freeze!" he said, stopping Chun Churan from further screaming.
"Relax, little girl. I didn't do anything to him. I just sent him to take his test. That is all. " Ao Shun said, calming her down finally. Then he unfroze her with a wave of his hand.
"Little girl, I know you are a beast tamer. Don't you know that we dragons had extreme enmity for all the beast tamers and the same goes for you, beast tamer?" Ao Shun, the Black dragon king, asked with a calm tone.
"Senior Ao Shun, umm, I know about it." Chun Churan responded politely.
"From our conversation, you must have already leaned that the boy had a dragon bloodline in his vein.. Don't you feel any disgust for him now? And I know the family rules of your beast tamers, which is a heinous and blasphemous crime for a beast tamer girl to marry into the family of any beast families or clans, especially the Dragon clans that they hated the most? Don't you hate us dragons?" Ao Shun began to ask a series of questions about her.
