CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 334: CANDLE DRAGON ALTAR, THE LAND OF TIME DISORDER!

As the two people and one dragon were intently studying their opponent, two Commander-level Three-legged Golden Toads approached the adjacent dining table.

Three-legged Golden Toads are the royal members of the Golden Toad Clan, with faint Totem Bloodlines in their bodies, and generally come from extraordinary origins.

The two Three-legged Golden Toads ordered two odd drinks from the "waiter" the pufferfish at the tavern, and then started "gurgle gurgle" conversing with each other.

They were speaking in the secret language of the Golden Toad Clan, a language only the Golden Toad Clan could understand, akin to "encrypted chatting."

But unbeknownst to them, Chen Mo, who had mastered animal speech, could understand everything they were saying.

"Gurgle!" (Skinny, have you signed up for the Canglan Grand Ceremony this time?)

The plump Three-legged Golden Toad asked first.

"Gurgle~" (No, but my dad did.)

The thin golden toad burped a bubble.

One could say it was a typical second-generation beast; its father was an Overlord Level Spiritual Beast, firmly occupying a Level 5 blessed land. It could directly cultivate in this Level 5 blessed land, so it wasn’t enthusiastic about the Canglan Grand Ceremony.

"Gurgle!" (I suggest you still sign up, this year’s Canglan Grand Ceremony is crucial!)

"Gurgle?" (Why do you say that?)

"Gurgle gurgle~" (Haven’t you noticed that recently, within Jizhou territory, the frequency of secret realms or portals to other worlds has increased?)

"Gurgle~" (Indeed, there used to be a secret realm appearing every few decades within the Jizhou territory, but now several secret realms or channels to other worlds appear every year.)

"Gurgle!" (And this is only what we’ve discovered, there must be more we haven’t found!)

The Fat Golden Toad stated seriously.

The thin Three-legged Golden Toad nodded, and then said:

"Gurgle gurgle..." (But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, right? These secret realms or other worlds that have appeared are full of opportunities. If you can grasp the chance and obtain rare Spirit Beast Eggs or top resources in the secret realms, you might just soar to the heavens!)

"Gurgle gurgle~" (I have a friend who has dealt with Spirit Masters from other worlds. That world has extremely scarce Spiritual Energy, but they control a power known as technology, capable of creating items similar to ancient relics. My friend gave me some small trinkets from that civilization, quite interesting stuff.)

Saying this, the thin Golden Toad took out an old-fashioned touchscreen smartphone from its Space Ring.

"This is the device, it’s called a smartphone, and it can record images of a certain moment."

Click!

With that, the thin Golden Toad took a selfie with the Fat Golden Toad.

"Ah?"

Chen Mo, who was eavesdropping on their "loud scheming," froze in place the moment he saw the Golden Toad take out the smartphone.

Hearing about Earth from the mouths of creatures from the Spirit Realm, to be honest, felt rather miraculous.

Unexpectedly, it felt like the gossip has hit too close to home.

Good heavens, has Earth’s technology become so widespread in the Spirit Realm?

"Gurgle!" (This thing is great, Skinny, can you get me one too?)

The Fat Golden Toad inquired.

"Gurgle!" (No problem.)

Saying that, the thin Golden Toad took out another smartphone of the same model but in pink color from its Space Ring.

"Gurgle?" (Fatty, you haven’t told me what these secret realms descending have to do with participating in the Canglan Grand Ceremony?)

"Gurgle!" (My father said a frequent emergence of secret realms is a harbinger of chaotic times!)

The Fat Golden Toad said, taking a sip of the colorful fizzy water and speaking somewhat excitedly:

"Gurgle!" (And this Canglan Grand Ceremony is being held in advance because the Palace Master of Canglan Palace and the Family Head of Yun Meng Family have foreseen a secret realm’s descent. They need to select the most talented Spiritual Beasts to enter this secret realm.)

"Gurgle?" (What secret realm could possibly cause the Canglan Grand Ceremony to be held in advance?)

Upon hearing this, the thin Golden Toad immediately became intrigued.

The Canglan Grand Ceremony was undoubtedly the most important competition in Jizhou. Only if the discovered secret realm was of unimaginable value could it affect the timing of the Canglan Grand Ceremony!

"Gurgle!" (I heard from my father that this secret realm appearing this time is the Candle Dragon Altar!)

The Fat Golden Toad whispered in a lowered voice.

Its father was a high-ranking official in the Canglan Palace, naturally privy to many secret messages.

"What!? The Candle Dragon Altar, isn’t that the altar that exists only in mythological stories!?"

The thin Golden Toad’s pupils shook, unable to help raising its voice.

"Candle Dragon!"

Not far away, Chen Mo, who had listened to the conversation of the two Commander-level Golden Toads, couldn’t help but be stirred.

The Candle Dragon, whether in past lives or present, was a mythical creature.

Legend has it that it was a great being that mastered time. With eyes open, it was day; with eyes closed, it was night.

Many ancient legends record that it was a mythical existence that consumed time as food, possessed eternal life, and could freely travel between the past, present, and future.

And the Candle Dragon Altar, also known as "the land of time disarray."

It is said to be the "time trials" and "time-traveling machines" left by the Candle Dragon at different time nodes for those destined.

In many records of ancient civilizations, there have been notes about the Candle Dragon Altar.

Before the descent of the Candle Dragon Altar, the leaders of tribes near the landing site would experience a special kind of premonition.

So to speak accurately, it wasn’t that the Palace Master of Canglan Palace had foreseen the descent of the Candle Dragon Altar in advance, but rather the Candle Dragon Altar conveyed its impending arrival to the Palace Master.
