BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage!

Chapter 272: Spirit Gathering Success, An Opportunity!



Gu Fei quietly observed the massive golden lightning dragon before him, feeling a mix of emotions. He was well aware that the stronger a being was, the more difficult it became for it to gain intelligence.

Just like the ancient Bodhisattva Tree he had encountered before. Despite possessing strength comparable to that of a Dou God, it only had basic instincts, no true intelligence. In contrast, humans were born weak, yet from birth, they had the highest form of intelligence. Perhaps this was because humans had a shorter cultivation cycle, allowing them to achieve notable progress quickly, a feat that was hard for other beings to replicate.

This world births endless beings, and who can fully comprehend the mysteries within? "Roar!"

As Gu Fei was lost in thought, the golden dragon let out a heart-wrenching wail, its enormous body trembling violently. Countless arcs of golden lightning danced across its surface, as though attempting to tear it apart.

Gu Fei's pupils contracted as he realized that the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning was undergoing severe backlash.

The once imposing lightning dragon now writhed in agony, its massive head thrashing around as it emitted painful roars.

At that moment, the surrounding Black Demon Lightning behaved unusually. Instead of avoiding the golden lightning, they surged forward, seemingly answering a call, merging with the golden dragon's body.

Gu Fei was startled by this revelation. He realized that these Black Demon Lightning bolts were helping their king resist the terrifying backlash.

However, even with their assistance, the situation wasn't improving. The backlash inside the golden dragon's body grew stronger. Parts of it exploded, sending golden blood spraying into the air like magma, dissipating into golden sparkles in the void.

"It seems it's still doomed to fail."

Gu Fei sighed softly, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.

To see a creature come so close to gaining intelligence was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Yet, witnessing its inevitable failure stirred deep disappointment within him.

What a pity! Such a pity!

But...

At that moment, a daring idea suddenly flashed through Gu Fei's mind.

He took a deep breath and began walking toward the struggling lightning dragon.

"Give your power to me, and I will help you gather your spirit!"

Gu Fei's voice rang out firmly.

The golden thunder dragon, hearing this, turned its massive head toward him with difficulty. Its starlike eyes glowed with a hint of hesitation.

Gu Fei could feel that the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning was at its limit, too weak to even attack. Through his emotional feedback system, he knew that the thunder dragon had not rejected his offer.

Taking another deep breath, Gu Fei raised his hands, his body soon enveloped by a layer of faint pink flames.

"Separate!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With a low shout, Gu Fei pressed his hands onto the massive body of the dragon. In an instant, blinding golden lightning surged out from the dragon, forming a hundred-meter-long lightning dragon figure that danced in the void.

The entire process was smooth, thanks to the dragon not resisting. After Gu Fei had extracted nearly ninety percent of its power, the golden dragon's pain significantly lessened.

He began controlling the lightning dragon figure he extracted- using the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to suppress it within his body. Then, forming a mysterious seal with his hands, a complex rune appeared at his fingertips.

"Form spirit!"

With a soft shout, Gu Fei imprinted the rune onto the forehead of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning. The dragon's body had now shrunk to just a few dozen meters in size, with its strength reduced to only that of a Half-Saint. In this weakened state, the backlash it endured during spirit gathering was almost negligible.

As time passed, the golden lightning dragon's eyes gradually became more animated, its gaze sweeping across its surroundings before finally settling on Gu Fei.

In its starlike eyes, a trace of affection emerged.

Heh! It wasn't me who had the fortune of meeting you, but rather, I am your fortune.

Gu Fei smiled.

Ding, Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning has developed feelings of dependency, Emotional Value increased...

The system notification echoed in Gu Fei's mind. It was clear that the newly awakened Golden Lightning had come to see Gu Fei as its most trusted being.

"Little one, this is fate between you and me!" Gu Fei's smile widened.

"Hehe, young friend, your fortune is truly remarkable!"

At that moment, a voice, old yet full of authority, echoed in the void.

Gu Fei looked up in surprise.

An elderly figure with white hair slowly stepped out from the void. This person was none other than Elder Zhushang of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe.

Zhushang's sharp eyes gazed at Gu Fei with admiration, clearly impressed by what he had witnessed. His advanced Eight-Star Dou Saint strength had allowed him to sense the spirit- gathering process of the golden lightning from afar, which prompted him to come.

"Elder Zhushang!" Gu Fei greeted him politely, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected such a powerful dragon tribe elder to witness his assistance in helping the lightning dragon gather its spirit.

Through the feedback from his system, Gu Fei knew that Elder Zhushang held no ill will towards him, but rather appreciated him.

"Helping the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning gather its spirit is no ordinary fate," Zhushang smiled as he glanced between Gu Fei and the golden dragon.

"To be honest, it was all a matter of chance. Without the dragon's willingness, I wouldn't

have been able to achieve this," Gu Fei replied with a modest smile.

"Indeed, having such humility is rare," Zhushang nodded approvingly.

"However, although it has gained intelligence, it still needs time to adjust to its new identity," Zhushang remarked, his gaze falling on the golden lightning dragon.

Gu Fei nodded thoughtfully. He could sense that while the lightning dragon had developed intelligence, its awareness was still in its infancy, much like a newborn child.

At that moment, the golden dragon let out a soft whimper and moved closer to Gu Fei, its massive body radiating affection as it sought his protection.

Seeing this, Gu Fei extended his hand and gently stroked the dragon's head. Its cool, yet non- prickly touch carried an unusual sense of affinity.

"It seems to have recognized you as its master," Zhushang observed with a sigh.

"This is truly a great fortune!"

Hearing this, Gu Fei's heart raced with excitement. The Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning's immense power was undeniable, and having it by his side would undoubtedly be a significant

asset.
