Chapter 68: Blood Contract with the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena
At the very center of the cavern lay a small dragon bathed in a silver-white glow. Its fur was smooth, its aura mysterious and unique. Countless elemental forces surrounded it, resonating in harmony and making it appear extraordinary.
This was it.
She was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
And judging from her current state, she had yet to reach full evolution.
Well, that much was obvious.
If Gu Yuena were in her peak condition—the form she possessed after arriving on the continent—it would have been a true problem.
She was indeed powerful. Even without reaching divine ascension, she would at least stand at the peak of the ninth rank, ninth level.
Even if she had been created by the system, Gu Yuena was still that proud Gu Yuena.
At her highest level, Ye Ling would have no way to control her. It was better this way—meeting her while she was still weak.
With that thought, Ye Ling quietly stepped forward. The Silver Dragon King clearly sensed someone approaching, but she paid no heed. Her adorable eyes remained closed as if she were still asleep, indifferent to everything around her.
Ye Ling knew it was not entirely unrelated to him.
Most likely, it was the effect of the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him that made Gu Yuena react this way.
Thinking so, Ye Ling approached.
It was time to form the contract.
Once the bond was sealed, he could choose to leave this place or stay to cultivate within this vast elemental energy, enhancing his strength.
Ye Ling felt that if he truly cultivated here for a month, his strength could likely advance to the fifth rank—pure internal spirit power at the fifth stage, fully condensing into liquid spirit energy.
Soon, Ye Ling stood before Gu Yuena, extended his hand, and was about to form the contract.
Yet, almost involuntarily, his hand reached out to touch her dragon body. The silky smooth fur made Ye Ling reluctant to stop—it felt wonderful.
The Silver Dragon King did not resist. On the contrary, she leaned her head closer to brush against Ye Ling's fingertips, seemingly delighted.
His aura made her feel comfortable, so she showed no hostility—if anything, she seemed eager for more.
Still, Ye Ling remembered why he was here.
After stroking her a few more times, he slowly withdrew his hand. The Silver Dragon King gave a soft, dissatisfied whimper.
It seemed that, perhaps due to the system's influence, she lacked full consciousness and acted mostly by instinct. Maybe after the contract was formed, that would change.
Thinking this, Ye Ling raised his hand and traced lines through the air.
His fingers became the brush, the surrounding elemental energy the ink, as he began crafting the supreme blood contract.
It was a complex process, but for Ye Ling, it posed no real difficulty. After some time, a special sigil took form—a mysterious and profound bond.
It could be said that this was the most intricate and powerful contract in the entire Divine Seal World.
"Almost done. This should be enough to proceed."
Ye Ling nodded slightly. He lifted the contract, letting it hover in midair. Channeling his inner spirit power, a droplet of golden liquid rose from his hand and slowly drifted forward.
When it merged with the contract, a terrifying aura erupted from within, so intense that even the Silver Dragon King stirred, as if about to open her eyes.
"My part is finished. Now, it depends on whether Gu Yuena accepts the contract," Ye Ling murmured. "If she refuses, that will be troublesome—I'll have to find another way."
The method he was using was the Blood Contract.
Unlike ordinary enslavement contracts, a Blood Contract established equality between both parties—it was a partnership pact.
In this relationship, their bond depended on intimacy and emotion, not domination.
Although Ye Ling could have chosen a master-servant contract, he knew Gu Yuena's pride would never allow it. No matter how favorable their rapport, she would never submit.
Unless the roles were reversed—with Gu Yuena as master and Ye Ling as servant.
But that was impossible. Ye Ling had no such strange inclinations.
Well… if it were Gu Yuena… never mind, better not.
Equality was enough.
To Ye Ling, there was no need for dominance or subjugation. What he desired was a partner with independent thought, not a mere tool under his control.
Otherwise, he might as well have chosen the Starlight Unicorn earlier—why bother with the Silver Dragon King?
Soon, Ye Ling pushed the Blood Contract toward Gu Yuena.
Sensing its approach, the Silver Dragon King instinctively tried to retreat. Who would willingly form a contract without warning?
But the moment she felt Ye Ling's aura within it, Gu Yuena hesitated briefly, then stretched her neck forward and accepted the bond.
At once, dazzling radiance erupted from her body. The mark of the Blood Contract appeared upon her neck, glowing brilliantly.
Countless beams of light spiraled through the cavern, each one carrying the elemental forces of heaven and earth, as if celebrating the Silver Dragon King's new bond.
It was clear, however, that the contract would take time to fully complete. Ye Ling did not dwell on it.
Instead, he silently sat cross-legged, feeling the abundant elemental energy surging around him. He knew that Gu Yuena's contract would not conclude soon, giving him time to cultivate.
Without hesitation, he entered meditation. His aura rose sharply as he drew the power of light from the surrounding world, absorbing and refining it within his body.
"Good. Such immense light-element power—absorbing it completely will greatly strengthen my inner spirit. The growth rate is impressive," Ye Ling muttered softly.
"In the outside world, a full day of focused cultivation would only raise my spirit power by three or four points. Here, it might multiply several times over."
"The Holy Mountain's elemental energy was already strong, but with Gu Yuena's awakening, it's grown even denser. If I absorb it all, the feedback should be remarkable."
Murmuring to himself, Ye Ling closed his eyes once more. Sitting beside Gu Yuena, he entered a deep state of cultivation.
