Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 342 Rubbing on the ground
As Li Weidong increased his speed, the dragon began to feel uncomfortable. However, because Li Weidong had imprisoned it with the origin of the world, it could only twitch its face to express its pain.

It already regretted it. It would have been better if this person had knocked it out. It was so painful.

But what it doesn't know is that even if it is knocked unconscious it will be useless, because this is its dragon essence, which is bound to its soul and directly affects its soul. Even if it is knocked unconscious it will still hurt.

Although Li Weidong saw Long's painful expression, he didn't care, because he had experienced this kind of thing once before. Didn't Fire Qilin go through the same thing?
Because there was too much evil energy mixed in the dragon essence, the process of clearing it out took three full days. Only after all the evil energy was removed did Li Weidong release the world origin that imprisoned the dragon and allow it to resume movement.

The dragon, having regained its ability to move, collapsed directly to the ground. Although he felt a sense of relief in his body and dragon essence, the mental pain he had endured over the past three days and the reduction in strength caused by the removal of the evil spirit made him mentally exhausted and physically weak.

Subconsciously, Long prepared to practice and restore his strength.

As a result, he was stopped by Li Weidong just after absorbing some energy.

Li Weidong directly used the origin of the world to communicate with the dragon and said something to it.

"Don't absorb the energy here. The energy here is filled with the evil spirits of heaven and earth. If you don't want to experience the pain of stripping away the evil spirits just now again, then don't absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here for the time being."

Long was stunned and immediately stopped absorbing. He stared at Li Weidong blankly, then opened his mouth and roared.

"Roar!"

Li Weidong used the Origin of the World to translate Long's words, understood his meaning, and replied:

“In fact, this world is not suitable for you to exist. This world is full of killing, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is accompanied by evil spirits. It is only suitable for the existence of martial arts. A divine beast like you, as long as you absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, will slowly transform into a ferocious beast.

If you believe me, I can take you to my world. There is very little evil spirit in my world, but abundant spiritual energy. Who knows, maybe you can become a real divine beast in my world.

The level of the world you are in is too low, so you basically don't have to consider going any further. Many warriors have already set their sights on you. Your dragon essence can make warriors immortal and greatly increase their strength. If I don't intervene, the day of Jingzhe when your intelligence is obscured will be your death.

And you don't have to think about resurrection. That group of people is targeting your Dragon Essence. If your True Essence is taken away, even if you are a beloved divine beast of heaven and earth, you can't be resurrected!"

Li Weidong teased the dragon with a grin and explained its predicament in detail. The dragon had actually died once before. Before Emperor Shitian slew the dragon, another person had done so. This person was the ancestor of the Japanese royal family. He had once slain an evil dragon on the shores of the East China Sea and forged the magical weapon, the Dragon String, from dragon tendons. However, there were no rumors that he had obtained dragon essence, otherwise he could have achieved immortality.

This also shows that the divine beasts can be resurrected, of course, provided that their true essence is not taken away. If their true essence is taken away, they probably cannot be resurrected, just like the unlucky Phoenix. In the past, Emperor Shi Tian led elite soldiers to kill the Phoenix, but ended up killing it in a cave. The Phoenix was killed by Emperor Shi Tian, ​​so why did it not resurrect as one of the four sacred beasts?
The reason is very simple, because Emperor Shi Tianxin was too cruel. He drained all the blood from the phoenix and used all the blood to refine an immortal golden elixir. After he ate the golden elixir, he became immortal and lived for more than two thousand years.

While the dragon turtle is somewhat mysterious, Xiao Sanxiao once possessed its blood, allowing him to live for over 3,000 years, having obtained its essence. While the dragon turtle was supposedly dead, rumors circulated that it had been captured by an ancient nation and made a guardian beast. Unfortunately, the nation was destroyed by sandstorms, and the dragon turtle's whereabouts were unknown, leaving only a massive shell buried beneath the sand. The dragon turtle was resurrected, then killed again. However, Li Weidong, a small turtle accompanying Xiao Sanxiao, believed it was likely the dragon turtle. Xiao Sanxiao hadn't obtained all of the dragon turtle's blood, only a portion, leading to its resurrection.

All of the phoenix's blood was given to Emperor Shitian to make elixirs, so there was no possibility of resurrection.

After hearing what Li Weidong said, the dragon suddenly became angry. It kept circling back and forth in the cave, opened its big mouth and roared loudly, causing the water in the cave to surge continuously.

"What's the point of being angry? Do you think you're a match for those warriors? I might be able to help you deal with them this time, but what about next time? Human greed is endless. As long as you remain in this world, there will be warriors who will raise their butcher knives to you in pursuit of immortality. This world is not suitable for you to survive. The protagonists of this world are always warriors, and you will never become a true divine beast because this world simply doesn't allow it. The rules of the world are like this, and no one can change them. Just because you want to change the rules of the world, forget it! Be more realistic in your dreams."

Li Weidong didn't hesitate and gave a brief analysis, which calmed Long down.

Long also knew that what this person said was true. It had indeed been killed in the past, but that person did not know where its true essence was, so it was resurrected. If its true essence was taken away, it would have no chance of resurrection.

Moreover, after its strength reaches a certain level, it will indeed not increase, which is similar to what this person said. Although it does not know whether it is restricted by heaven and earth, it is indeed the case. This makes it think deeply and carefully consider Li Weidong's words.

After thinking for a while, the dragon roared.

"Roar!"

"Haha, don't worry, no one in my world covets your Dragon Essence. I guess not many people would be interested in someone of your strength. Just stay in my world and practice well!

Apart from your cool appearance as a mythical beast, your strength is nothing in our world.

At the very least, you don't even have your own cultivation techniques, relying solely on instinct to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You can't even transform into a human form. It's no exaggeration to say that you are a disgrace to the divine beasts."

"Roar!"

"Hey, you're still angry. Wasn't what I said wrong? I wasn't just talking about you. Before I came to find you, I had already found the Fire Qilin. The Fire Qilin entered our world a long time ago and probably already obtained the cultivation method. If you had entered later, your ranking might have changed. After all, with your current declining strength, you're only slightly stronger than the Fire Qilin. But if the Fire Qilin has obtained the cultivation method, after a while, he might be able to pin you to the ground!"
