Chapter 233: A Question at the Mountain Gate before Haoran Temple
```
[King Grade Light Butterfly · White Jade Tower · True Dragon Nine Transformations] (Limit Eleven Floor) (Already Contracted)
Quality: White Jade First Floor
Life Span: 78/2400
Effect: Dragon King Descending.
Had the ability to use the Divine Power of Dragon Transformation, transforming into a Black Dragon Body.
[Trait]
[Dragon King]: Blackness symbolized mystery. The Black Dragon was indeed a Mysterious Dragon, standing above all dragons. It could intimidate the dragon herd, suppress Dragon Energy, and where the Black Dragon went, all dragons would prostrate.
[Call the Wind and Summon the Rain]: Wind and rain followed desires.
[Dragon Tears]: Your falling tears would condense into pearls, becoming precious Dragon Tears.
[Dragon Swarm Skills]: Could use Dragon Swarm Skills, freely roaming between heaven and earth, with the Divine Soul leaving the body to survey the cosmos.
[True Dragon Qi]: Dragons enjoyed the blessings of heaven and earth, and when danger approached, the heart would tighten.
[Black Dragon Body]: Covered in fine dragon scales, unmatched defensiveness among dragons, unmatched strength among dragons, unmatched speed among dragons, unmatched mana Spiritual Energy among dragons. Your offspring would have a high probability of possessing a true dragon's body.
[Dragon and Tiger Dharma]: Since your true form was a tiger, you could perform the Divine Skill Dragon Tiger Fist.
[Lifebound]: When your Life Span was insufficient, you could borrow Life Span from this Gu, and when this Gu's Life Span ran short, it would borrow Life Span from you.
[Unique]: This Gu perished not, True Dragon Nine Transformations emerged not.
Growth Requirements: Pride Sky Eagle's Claw.
Growth Progress: 0/100
Promotion Requirements: Unable to be promoted
Chen Qing finished reading and found it rather interesting that this Lifebound Gu had developed a brand-new Divine Skill because of her true form.
To be fair, the dragon clan's traits were truly abundant, even more than his Emperor Earth.
It was flashy.
Hu Yao excitedly displayed her King Gu and bowed to Chen Qing, saying, "Please guide me, elder."
Chen Qing explained the uses of this Gu in detail, after which Hu Yao said, "Who wants to give birth to little dragons!"
Ji Ru smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Xu Yaofeng also showed an envious expression, "Congratulations."
Murong Lang smiled and cupped his hands, "Congratulations."
Hu Yao thanked the three for their congratulations and asked, "Elder, how can my King Gu ascend the tower?"
Chen Qing, having gone through the King's Record and discovered some secrets, leisurely said, "King Gus have different rankings, divided into the Tower of Ascension and White Jade Tower."
"The Ascension Tower has twelve floors, and after reaching the top, there is still a chance to promote further."
"The White Jade Tower is different, eleven floors are the limit, and it cannot ascend to God."
"Your King Gu is of the White Jade Tower, with a maximum of eleven floors."
Chen Qing glanced at Hu Yao, noticing that the young lady didn't seem too concerned about her Gu not being able to ascend the tower.
Others were of the same mind, regarding the mere acquisition of a King Gu as a great fortune, while ascension was a privilege only the first-generation Sect Hierarch had.
"The guidance for a King Gu's ascension is not something you can afford now."
Hu Yao was a bit disappointed, lowering her head.
Chen Qing continued, "However, since we've met, it's our destined encounter."
"Red Lotus, let me ask you, are you willing to become a Guardian Venerable of the Taichu Sect?"
Hu Yao responded excitedly, "Of course I would!"
Chen Qing said, "In that case, I'll tell you how to make this Gu ascend the tower."
"Pride Sky Eagle's Claw."
Hu Yao curiously asked, "What is the Pride Sky Eagle's Claw?"
Chen Qing, having devoured several dragon species, also knew some secrets, "Ancient Strange Species."
Hu Yao fell into thought, and Ji Ru said, "The Pride Sky Eagle's Claw is in the Imperial Palace, although probably not in abundance."
Hu Yao asked, "If it's possible, I want to trade for some because this item is too precious. When you decide what you want, come to trade with me."
Ji Ru nodded, "Okay."
Chen Qing glanced around, "Do any of you have anything else you'd like to ask?"
The group remained silent for a moment, after which Chen Qing said, "Then, you may start chatting."
Just as Chen Qing finished speaking, Xu Yaofeng, after cautiously glancing at Chen Qing, saluted and then said, "Taichi's stationed army in Chaotian City had fallen into the Death Sea."
"My spies saw the Rat Demon digging through the Death Sea, causing Chaotian City to fall."
"Now, it's uncertain whether they're alive or dead."
"Also, that ancient dragon had received Ji Dang's orders to return and clean up the northern demon scourge."
"Unfortunately, with Shang Tong containing the boundary, I found it inappropriate to send troops."
Ji Ru curiously asked, "Which side is Shang Tong really standing for?"
"Ji Dang comes here, and he comes to assist. Now with those Rat Demons, he's still containing you!"
"Doesn't he consider his own retreat?"
Xu Yaofeng replied, "This person had already defected from the sect."
"Always seeking to profit from the chaos, now he was likely hoping those Rat Demons would attack Fengdu, so he could benefit."
Hu Yao said, "I don't know about anything else, but I do know Taiyi had already started returning, and we're about to reach Naihe Bridge."
Xu Yaofeng let out a sigh of relief, "It's good that Taiyi returned, with Taiyi back to preside over the situation, we'll have direction."
"Unfortunately, I couldn't find the laurel tree's location, leaving my Lifebound Gu unable to advance to King Grade."
"If my Lifebound Gu advanced to King Grade, there'd be no room for Shang Tong's arrogance!"
At the start of the gathering, his Lifebound Gu's quality was the highest, yet now, it was on the verge of becoming the lowest.
Ji Ru said, "Oh, by the way, Da Yan is currently urgently recruiting troops, enlisting a large number from Foundation Establishment peaks, preparing to self-amputate and enter the Ghost World."
"But the Royalist Party and the Ancient Prince Party were in constant debate, lacking a consensus for the time being."
