Chapter 1005: Apologizing Before Cleaning

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The four pillars were different.

The first one was pure white, the second one was red, the third one was green, and the last one was black.

The black pillar was also one and a half feet tall. It was engraved with a mysterious divine item and a special contract. It was the most mysterious and powerful treasure among the four pillars.

Jiang Hao felt his heart race.

If the power within was completely unleashed, it would definitely shake the entire world.

Fortunately, there was no one around. Otherwise, it would have been too difficult to hide it.

He didn’t want to be someone who provoked people into war, especially not the seniors who were connected to the Human Emperor.

After wiping it with a rag, he obtained ten bubbles.

He had wiped four pillars and obtained forty bubbles!

With that in mind, Jiang Hao looked at his interface.

[Lifeblood: 89/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Cultivation: 88/100 (can be cultivated)]

‘I need twenty-three more.’

It was not a small number. Only the staff of the Dragon Cave had given him so many.

There was basically nothing that could give him twenty bubbles at once.

There were eight god statues and four pillars. Even if he added them all up, he could not get twenty more bubbles, let alone twenty-three.

No matter how amazing a divine item was, it could not compare to the staff that held the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl.

Jiang Hao breathed out and looked at Liao Yingrong and the other two people.

They seemed to have made a lot of preparations.

“We can head to the core now,” Jiang Hao said.

The three of them were overjoyed. They were finally going to the core.

Although there were people following them, they still had the advantage.

They would definitely arrive before the others.

Once the divine item was activated, everything would end.

But…

They wondered why this person kept stopping to clean things.

They simply could not understand.

At first, they did not think too much about it. But the question still bugged them.

They could only think of one answer. Maybe something was wrong in the core.

But they did not know the details.

There was no choice but to go there and check.

They suddenly felt a surge of power.

The Four Extreme Pillars suddenly activated one by one and connected to each other.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

He had not expected this to happen.

He had to be more careful.

Liao Yingrong and the other two people were shocked.

They were even more worried that something might go wrong inside.

However, the activation of the pillars would not change their plans.

The core was not easy to find.

The three of them had spent half a day finding the location.

The next day, Jiang Hao saw a palace.

The palace was surrounded by thick fog, but they could still see the interior clearly.

The towering stone pillars at the entrance of the palace supported the majestic stone door. When one stepped in, one could see the splendor of the palace. The dragon patterns were vivid and lifelike, and there was a faint dragon roar coming from within.

Jiang Hao was shocked.

He did not know that the divine item was related to the Dragon Clan.

When the Human Emperor was around, the Dragon Clan always cooperated with the Human Emperor.

At that time, the Human Emperor had received the full support of the Dragon Clan.

“The core is in the depth, but if we don’t have something related to the Dragon Clan, we might not be able to enter,” said Zuo Jing.

“You can’t enter?” Jiang Hao asked.

“There is a way… but it will take some time,” Zuo Jing said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

Then, they entered the depths of the palace.

There was a large door.

Jiang Hao could tell that there was a powerful pressure beyond that door that permeated in all directions.

“Is that Dragon’s Might?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes, it is said that the divine item is related to the dragons,” Liao Yingrong said.

“So, you also don’t know what exactly it is?” Jiang Hao asked.

“We only know a little about it, but we haven’t seen it for real,” Liao Yingrong said.

He looked pale. He did not care about his arm. He was saving his strength for a last fight.

The other two were the same.

They were prepared to die.

“I need some time. You have to wait a while,” Liao Yingrong said.

Jiang Hao did not mind. Instead, he walked to the door. “I’m Smiling San Sheng. Here to pay a visit.”

He bowed.

His sudden action surprised the three Saint Bandits. They did not understand what he was doing.

Boom!

While they were still puzzled, all the stone doors around them slowly opened.

The divine item appeared.

The three of them found it unbelievable.

Jiang Hao opened his folding fan and smiled.

With the Dragon Pearl, Jiang Hao was able to open doors in the Dragon Cave. He assumed it would be the same here unless there was no aura of the True Dragon.

He had sensed the aura, so he gave it a try.

Sure enough, it worked.

As the door opened, the walls surrounding the palace disappeared bit by bit.

The divine item inside was clear for everyone to see.

It was the skeleton of a dragon. It still left behind the shadow of a dragon. There was dust on the bones.

A faint light appeared in the phantom. It was the vast aura of a True Dragon.

In front of it, Jiang Hao felt tiny and insignificant.

The dragon skeleton was truly impressive. The massive power was overwhelming.

“So, this is a divine item…” Jiang Hao could not help but sigh.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the divine item was actually a dragon skeleton.

He had no idea a dragon was used to suppress the Fallen Immortal Clan back then.

In that era, True Dragons sacrificed a lot.

The Human Race had been almost wiped out. It was understandable that True Dragons had decided to leave.

Jiang Hao had never wanted to be such a sacrifice.

That was the reason why he would never claim the Xuanyuan Sword even if he could.

He would not ask for divine items even if they were given to him freely.

These divine items needed reliable and selfless owners and not someone like him who just wanted to live his own life.

He did not have that kind of ambition.

Looking at the dragon skeleton, Jiang Hao felt strange.

The dragon had been asleep for many years. Jiang Hao could not sense anything from it.

He could feel a heavy pressure pressing down on the skeleton of the dragon.

Presumably, the activation method might not be effective.

Liao Yingrong and the others frowned.

“Why is it ineffective?”

They tried to communicate with the divine item, but they could sense nothing.

There was no other way.

“Someone is trying to block it. It must be the Heavenly Spirit Tribe or the Fallen Immortal Clan,” Tong Shou’en said gloomily.

He rarely spoke, but when he did, he always had something smart to say.

“What do we do now?” Zuo Jing asked.

The three of them looked at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao looked at them and smiled. “Leave it to me. You guys just have to guard this place. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Jiang Hao stood in front of the dragon skeleton and took out a rag.

He apologized in his heart before he started cleaning the bones.
