Black Dragon shook his head at Mo Wenjie, Brother, I know your heart is as high as the sky, but sometimes you have to face reality. Even my brother used to be full of vigor and ambition. Who in the three realms doesn't know about me, Black Dragon? But what happened later? In the end, wasn't I subdued? At that time, no matter how unwilling I was, I was forcefully suppressed. There was no choice but to bite the bullet and endure it, recognizing myself as unfortunate! Gradually changing myself, in the end I became the master of the Twenty Heavens. This is a typical case where one can't fight against destiny. If you don't obey and get beaten up, you gradually become more compliant. Brother, you haven't reached that stage yet. When you reach that stage, you will realize that many things are not as simple as people imagine!
Mo Wenjie looked at Black Dragon and smiled, shaking his head. "Brother, I think we may be different. My belief is in the all-powerful authority. It's hard to imagine that I would submit to someone else. And where there is oppression, there is resistance. I can't just accept defeat like this. If Brother Black Dragon is worried about being implicated, I can distance myself from you and ensure that it won't affect you!"
Hearing this, Black Dragon looked at Mo Wenjie, slightly displeased. "Brother, what are you implying? Does my Black Dragon fear death? While I cannot claim to be fearless, there are indeed few forces that could compel me to submit. Brother, have no worries. I stand with you through thick and thin!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head at Black Dragon, saying, "Brother, what's the point of that? I'm an unruly person by nature. I could care less about most things, but you don't need to go through all this trouble. Although you're not afraid of death, if you anger those rulers, it's no laughing matter. You should think about the consequences!"
Black Dragon chuckled upon hearing this. "Brother Mo, don't you consider the consequences?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Black Dragon. "Big Brother, I have no attachments. What's there to fear? Do you think I'm like them with too many family members and entanglements?"
Black Dragon shook his head at Mo Wenjie, "Brother, you mean I have a harem, right? Let me tell you, I don't have a harem at all. In fact, I only had one spiritual consort and I divorced her! What do I have to fear? I say, brother, from now on we are lifelong brothers in blood and life. As long as there's food for me, there will never be any hunger for you!"
Mo Wenjie nodded upon hearing this from Black Dragon, "If Brother has said this, what's there to fear? As long as Brother doesn't mind me, I'll stand by Brother through thick and thin. I, Mo Wenjie, swear to the heavens that as long as there's food for me, I'll share it with Brother in half!"
Black Dragon laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Good brother, from now on we'll be through thick and thin together. I'll give you a gift then!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head at Black Dragon, "Brother, what kind of gift are you giving me? It's not a festival or a special occasion. If you really want to give me a gift, wait until the festivals or holidays!"
Black Dragon smiled at Mo Wenjie, shaking his head. "Brother, are you absolutely certain that you don't want Brother Black Dragon's gift? Don't regret it later. My gift is quite special. I wouldn't give it to anyone who is not close to me. It's about the prosperity and decline of the dragon race. Many people desire it, but I don't give it out easily. Are you absolutely certain that you don't want it?"
Mo Wenjie laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Brother, can't you stop making it so mysterious? You say everyone wants it, but what is it really? It's all so mysterious that I'm a bit curious. Is it really as sought-after as you said? So, Brother, what exactly is it?"
Black Dragon smiled, "Listen well, dragon blood!"
Mo Wenjie almost fell down upon hearing this from Black Dragon. "What did you say, Brother? I didn't hear that correctly, did I? You mean dragon blood, the one from a celestial dragon? That's far too precious! Dragon blood is a legendary treasure said to possess incredible powers. It is believed to grant humans superhuman strength and eternal life. Many legendary heroes and deities have sought after dragon blood, hoping to gain its power. In ancient culture, dragon blood was used for alchemy, pharmacology, and crafting artifacts. It was considered an extremely rare and valuable resource that could bring endless possibilities and opportunities to change one's fate. However, dragon blood only exists in legends!"
Black Dragon looked at Mo Wenjie, "Do you think Brother is fooling you? I make decisions about my own bloodline. And every descendant of our dragon race hides three drops of our essence in our hearts, which can save our lives in critical moments and also save others. However, we dragons never give our essence to outsiders, and my essence is much more precious than theirs. As the head of the celestial dragons, the purity of my essence is very high and can purify the bloodline of other dragon tribes!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Black Dragon, "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I knew this was dragon blood from a celestial dragon, I wouldn't have refused. I never expected Brother to give me such a precious gift. It's truly unexpected! I can't refuse such a gift!"
Black Dragon laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Brother, stop talking so much. Brother has already promised to give it to you, and will never go back on his word. You have nothing to worry about. I'm going to give it to you right now, hoping it will be helpful. As for Brother, this is the only thing I can give that's truly valuable. Other things just aren't good enough!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Black Dragon, "Brother, this celestial dragon blood is truly invaluable. It is indeed the elixir of the dreams of countless people. I even feel a bit ashamed to receive it because it's so precious!"
Black Dragon smiled and said, "Alright, brother, let's not talk about it anymore. Brother, what Brother can do for you is already done. As for how much it can help you, that depends on your own destiny. Here it is, with one flick of my claw, I release a drop of golden dragon blood from my chest!"
Black Dragon shouted loudly, "Brother, quickly take this drop of essence and swallow it! I might need to rest for a while, so don't disturb me. Once I've rested well, I will wake up by myself." Black Dragon closed his eyes slowly after speaking.
Mo Wenjie reached out and grasped the celestial dragon blood. Suddenly, he felt the world spin around him and a vast power made him feel very restless. Without hesitation, he swallowed the dragon blood! Instantly, Mo Wenjie felt extremely uncomfortable; his whole body seemed to be about to burst. He endured excruciating pain that felt like his meridians were being stretched to bursting point. This made him bearably miserable, and he could only clench his teeth, forcing that massive power to circulate within him. Who knew how long he could hold on? In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer. The power was all over the place, driving him to the brink of collapse!
Sweat beads were rolling down Mo Wenjie's forehead like pearls, splattering onto the ground. His face was twisted in agony, a sight that was gruesome to behold. This was truly terrifying. Despite his struggles to hold on, the power within him showed no signs of diminishing, causing him immense frustration and discomfort. He thought to himself silently, is this how I, Mo Wenjie, will fall? To fall in such a dishonorable way is embarrassing. I did not perish while striving forward but rather at the hands of celestial dragon blood! This is pathetic indeed. So many have longed for something they could never obtain; yet here I am, having achieved it through my own efforts and paying with my life for it! The shame of dying like this is already unbearable; if others found out the truth, they would either ridicule or curse me. But more than anything, it's just so unfair—to be given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity only to squander it in such a reckless manner! Is there no justice in this world? How can something so precious be so easily wasted? If the heavens were truly just, how could they permit such waste and yet grant someone like me this golden opportunity?
Mo Wenjie became angrier with each thought, feeling utterly useless. How could he just fall like this? Absolutely not! He couldn't just perish here. He still had parents and a spiritual consort who were waiting for him to carve out a place for them in the world. How could he give up so easily? To give up now would be how he would face his parents and spiritual consort in the future! He was a strong person; how could he just yield so easily? No, he couldn't give up. He must gather his strength. He wouldn't believe that he Mo Wenjie couldn't absorb even one drop of celestial dragon blood. How would he ever survive in the heavenly realm if he couldn't do that?
Thinking about this, Mo Wenjie started to absorb the power of the celestial dragon blood again, gritting his teeth and bearing the pain of his body tearing apart. He directed the power of the dragon blood through twelve meridians, flowing into Ren Meridian and then into the Dantian. After guiding it through one circuit, Mo Wenjie's body began to change. His meridians became thicker, blood vessels expanded, and his veins bulged, looking quite terrifying. Despite this, Mo Wenjie still felt immense pain in his body. There was no way for him to give up; he had to keep pushing forward!
At this moment, Mo Wenjie had one and only thought: No matter how painful it was, he would persevere. Absolutely no one would be allowed to laugh at him for wasting a divine opportunity! He would do whatever it took to absorb the power of this celestial dragon blood, not for his own benefit but to prevent others from ridiculing him.
Mo Wenjie thought more and more angrily and became increasingly irritable. "I don't believe I can't tame this drop of celestial dragon blood. If you really let me perish, it's my own fault for lacking luck and fortune. If you can't let me perish, you should stop struggling in vain and just obediently follow my command to be absorbed. I will continue to absorb the power of the celestial dragon blood, gritting my teeth to endure the pain of my body tearing apart, guiding the power within me through numerous large cycles. After an unknown amount of time, Mo Wenjie's face slowly returned to normal, his twisted features returned to their original positions, and his menacing appearance disappeared. Looking at the power within Mo Wenjie's body, after countless large cycles of circulation back to his Dantian and impacting the Dantian barrier, the barrier began to loosen under repeated assaults. As the essence's power struck the Dantian barrier once again, a muffled thud resounded from Mo Wenjie's Dantian area...
