In the City Master’s office of Dragon City.
Inside Ji Ye’s hand was a piece of Radiant Gold that was the size of half a human head and releasing the warm light of the sun.
It could be vaguely seen that some sort of Buddha was sitting cross-legged inside it with a mudra.
[Buddha Shadow Radiant Gold]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: A Garuda who was about to become a Buddha meditated in front of a wall for years. His shadow was imprinted into the stone by the Buddha Light, resulting in the special Radiant Gold.]
The tale sounded rather familiar.
However, judging from the look of the Buddha, Ji Ye was pretty sure that it wasn’t the one he knew. After all, that guy should at least be a Legend considering his fame on Earth.
Besides, the Eagle Peak used to be the Eagle Men’s settlement. Naturally, the creatures here were from their civilization.
In fact, when Ji Ye observed with True Dragon’s Eyes, he clearly saw the differences between the Buddha and human beings. The Buddha had a third eye on its forehead and a pair of slim arms. Its clothes were actually transformed from golden feathers, and it looked similar to the Eagle Men.
“It’s really a Garuda!”
When he suspected that the Eagle Men were related to the Garuda, Ji Ye had looked into some classics and found that the Garuda was more influential than he thought.
Not only was it mentioned in Buddhism, but it also served as the mount of Siva, one of the three main gods in the Hindu religion.
So, it actually had a prestigious position!
Also, since this Garuda was about to become a Buddha, if he could really fuse it successfully, maybe he could receive a Transcendent ability of transformation, similar to when he fused the Green Flood Dragon Pearl earlier.
He would also acquire the Buddhist power to suppress the Yaksha!
“Fuse!”
With hope in his heart, Ji Ye initiated the fusion.
Hum!
Immediately, the Buddha Shadow Radiant Gold in his heart emitted a white and silver light.
However, after about twenty minutes of fusion, Ji Ye frowned in the silver light, and the glow on the Buddha Shadow Radiant Gold that represented Fusion disappeared!
Did it mean that the fusion failed?
Not exactly. Ji Ye had voluntarily abandoned the fusion.
It was because something unexpected happened during the fusion a moment ago.
When he was completely focused on the item and touched the Buddha Shadow with his mental power…
“^%?”
The Garuda, which was three hundred meters tall even though it was sitting, suddenly opened its eyes and gazed at him coldly with its vertical third eye on the forehead, releasing a pressure as heavy as a mountain. Then, it roared like a tolling bell.
“$&^(@%!”
Following that, its hands formed a Buddhist mudra and slapped where Ji Ye was.
“Well…”
Even though Ji Ye couldn’t understand the Garuda, he could tell that the mudra was extremely powerful and targeted the Flood Dragon Blood in his body. As a result, even the Transcendent Flood Dragon Blood stagnated for a moment!
Ji Ye had to abort the fusion, or he would’ve really been hit by the mudra.
Mental injuries could even happen!
“That’s odd. How did it happen?
“Is it because the gap between me and the Garuda is too huge?”
Ji Ye frowned.
Considering the pressure he just detected, this Garuda was definitely stronger than the Transcendent Rank-3 Green Flood Dragon he saw earlier.
However, based on the connection between the creatures in a settlement and the beta testers in it, this Garuda, which was about to become a Buddha, shouldn’t be as good as the Legendary True Dragon inside the Twin Dragon Mount!
“So, in terms of the level gap, it can’t be greater than when I fused the Totem Wolf Skin or the Black Serpent’s Blood.”
Ji Ye was deep in thought.
“Huh, is it because the Totem Wolf Skin and the Black Serpent’s Blood were spoils, and the power of aliens in them had already been polished by the human power of providence?”
The Buddha Shadow Radiant Gold had been excavated from the Eagle Peak without being polished.
“Also, the training of the Buddhist School focuses on the mind, just like the Daoist School. Therefore, even though it’s just a projection, it can recognize my dragon bloodline like the Flood Dragon True Blood did.
“That’s why it became hostile!”
Garuda was a mythological creature from Sandia that allegedly feasted on dragons.
Those “dragons” were actually Nagas, which were giant serpents that had no feet.
When Buddhism was spread into Chidragon, Naga was translated into “dragon” intentionally or unintentionally.
As more and more people were converted to Buddhism, nobody bothered to correct the mistake, which showed the power of the Buddhas. As a result, many people thought that the Garuda feasted upon dragons!
For that reason, the Garuda that had manifested on the Land of Inheritance was hostile towards the dragons.
“My ‘Fusion’ talent hasn’t become Transcendent yet. I cannot fuse the Buddhism Shadow which is a Transcendent power… I can only drop it for now. But fortunately, the endeavor was not a complete waste of time!”
Ji Ye extended his finger.
His entire finger turned gold. He then pointed it at the floor.
Immediately, the area about three meters in diameter with his finger as the center radiated. After the light was gone, the stone floor was turned into gold.
It was Transforming Stone Into Gold, one of the 36 Heavenly Spirit divine techniques that he accidentally acquired during the fusion of the Radiant Gold.
Of course, same as Distance Reduction, because the Radiant Gold he fused was just Extraordinary, it was not exactly a divine technique but just an Extraordinary skill.
The floor would become normal in a moment. It was similar to the deception with which Qiao Daoqing tricked Tian Hu’s soldiers.
“However, for me, the greater significance of the skill is that it can be used as a material for a second fusion.
“If I fuse it with the Primordial Unity Golden Light Sword Art, I might be able to create a crowd control skill!”
Ji Ye already came up with multiple fusion plans.
However, he had to wait for now because it was almost dawn and he had another thing to do.
“City Master, are you already done? So fast?”
When Ji Ye opened the door, Dian Wei, who was guarding the room with arcs of lightning on his arms, seemed rather surprised.
“Not yet… There was an accident.”
Well, their dialog sounded rather weird.
Besides, twenty minutes shouldn’t be “fast” at all, should it?
“Well, Chief Dian, let’s go to the altar!”
Shaking his head, Ji Ye took Dian Wei to an altar of providence with Dragon Aura.
“Let’s transform the Stone of Civilization before we go to Guobei County!”
Then, the Void Ring on his hand flashed, and a Stone of Civilization that emitted vague silver light showed up.
For completing the A Hundred Vying Barges quest, every individual had been rewarded. The Stone of Civilization that Ji Ye received could be transformed into a Superior Rare item. Since he was going to Guobei County and there was no telling how long he would stay there, it was best to use the stone first.
Hum!
Two Dragons of Providence appeared above the altar and spouted golden brilliance on the Stone of Civilization in his hand.
Then, the Transcendent Stone of Civilization the size of a fist, as if melted by the golden brilliance, turned into a pool of thick fluid that looked like golden lacquer.
Then, the golden lacquer began to move in the air and paint out a creature.
Deer horns, snake body, fish scales, eagle claws, and tiger palms… It was a vivid dragon!
“Another dragon-related item?”
Ji Ye was slightly surprised by what he saw, but on second thought, it did make sense.
After all, he had become Transcendent with the Flood Dragon Bloodline, and Dragon City was based on a Legendary True Dragon too. It was only natural that dragon-related items were transformed.
Also, the Dragon Aura that the Perfect Stone of Civilization was transformed into after the Ten-Species Competition quest fitted him perfectly and was very useful.
Although this Stone of Civilization wasn’t perfect, the item that it transformed into would certainly be very useful.
Hum!
When the golden lacquer continued painting, the dragon pattern in midair gradually released a powerful and intimidating yet somewhat familiar wave of energy!
“Huh, this energy wave feels similar to the one I felt when I faced the Garuda just now.”
Ji Ye was a little surprised.
Could it be…
