Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
Lin Dong, having mastered the second layer of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, struggled to grasp the third layer amid mounting pressures from the Dead Soul Curse and the looming return of the Earth Dragon Venerate. Deciding he could not afford further delay, he bid farewell to the Little Winged Dragon and exited the treasure vault, only to find his companions gone. In a flashback two days prior, Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, Aidan, Tian Kong, and the Crescent Wolf Emperor received urgent orders to evacuate the Earth Dragon Palace and reluctantly left a message for Lin Dong, urging him to flee swiftly.

Lin Dong remained motionless at the Earth Dragon Treasure Vault's exit, where the fading sunlight pierced through the cracks in the ancient palace doors, scattering speckled golden rays across his form.

He gripped the soft Divine Talisman firmly in his palm, the heartfelt farewell message from Yun Ruoxian still lingering in his mind, stirring a whirlwind of tangled feelings in his chest.

Right as he prepared to leave and say goodbye to this enigmatic and dangerous Earth Dragon Palace, a strange ripple suddenly emerged from within his Dragon Ring Space.

Lin Dong's heart jolted abruptly; he swiftly directed his focus toward the Dragon Ring and noticed the Earth Dragon Egg, which had stayed inactive for so long, now starting to release a subtle, soothing radiance.

"What's... going on?" Surprise flickered across Lin Dong’s eyes, since he'd never witnessed the Earth Dragon Egg behave this way before.

As he watched, the egg's luminescence grew stronger, as though stirred by an enigmatic force.

Then, an even more astonishing event unfolded before Lin Dong.

The Earth Dragon Egg gradually rose from the Dragon Ring Space, hovering in front of him. It rotated gently mid-air, emanating a cozy and arcane energy, resembling a miniature sun.

"Hey, little one, what's this about?" Lin Dong extended his hand, tentatively brushing the soft light, wary of interrupting this unexpected wonder.

The Earth Dragon Egg didn't pull away; instead, it kept leaping playfully in the air, each hop triggering a minor distortion in space, as if replying to his contact.

A gentle grin spread over Lin Dong’s features as memories of his harrowing trials in the Earth Dragon Palace resurfaced, leaving him puzzled about why this Earth Dragon Egg had selected him and entered his Dragon Ring Space.

Though its origins and intentions remained a mystery, seeing it frolic so happily in front of him filled Lin Dong with an odd sense of bond.

"Oh yeah, I nearly overlooked you, little buddy." Lin Dong murmured tenderly, his voice laced with warmth and regret.

Staring at the Earth Dragon Egg, curiosity and questions swirled in his mind. "Just what is your story? Why do you stick with me?"

He whispered the query, yet the Earth Dragon Egg offered no verbal reply, merely persisting in its cheerful bounces through the air, conveying delight and anticipation in its unique manner.

Lin Dong realized this Earth Dragon Egg carried profound importance or a destined task.

It might well be his most treasured discovery from the Earth Dragon Palace.

Far surpassing the worth of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique!

Lin Dong's eyes tracked the Earth Dragon Egg intently; this tiny being's gentle shine resembled a brilliant star piercing the darkness, beckoning him onward.

Drifting softly in the air, the Earth Dragon Egg's every leap appeared to whisper forgotten legends, drawing Lin Dong further into the enigmatic depths of the Earth Dragon Palace.

"Looks like you're set on showing me something," Lin Dong mused inwardly, a spark of intrigue and anticipation lighting his expression.

He set aside his plans to depart for now, choosing instead to trail the Earth Dragon Egg and delve deeper into this realm of secrets and fortunes within the Earth Dragon Palace.

Sensing Lin Dong's resolve, the Earth Dragon Egg's light intensified, before it descended slowly, tunneling into the earth below.

This unexpected display stunned Lin Dong; he hadn't anticipated that this unhatched Earth Dragon Egg already wielded such an incredible digging ability.

"Could this Earth Dragon Egg truly be this heaven-defying? Not even hatched, yet it commands such burrowing prowess?" Lin Dong uttered in amazement, his admiration and respect for the Earth Dragon Egg swelling without end.

He recognized how extraordinary it was to stumble upon such a phenomenon.

Without delay, he activated the newly acquired Earth Dragon Treasure Technique and plunged into the soil, pursuing the Earth Dragon Egg's direction closely.

Beneath the surface, Lin Dong encountered an intense pressure unlike any before. The atmosphere was stale and moist, enveloped in pitch black, with only the egg's dim glow illuminating the way forward.

He proceeded with utmost care, each movement brimming with alertness and prudence.

The Earth Dragon Egg navigated this subterranean realm with remarkable ease, guiding Lin Dong through intricate tunnels while steering clear of numerous hazards and pitfalls.

Lin Dong stayed right on its trail, placing full faith in the Earth Dragon Egg.

Without its direction, he would likely have wandered astray in this vast underground maze long ago.

Venturing further in, Lin Dong encountered astonishing visions.

Ancient symbols etched into the walls gleamed with arcane illumination; potent traces of Earth Dragon Qi pulsed around him, evoking the presence of slumbering Earth Dragons in this hidden domain; faint, rumbling growls echoed from afar, carrying the dignified might of the Earth Dragon Clan.

Everything stirred profound astonishment and veneration within Lin Dong.

He grasped that his journey unveiled not merely the Earth Dragon Palace, but the veiled legacy of an ancient, arcane lineage — the Earth Dragon Clan.

At the heart of it all lay that unassuming yet wondrous Earth Dragon Egg.

Trailing the Earth Dragon Egg, Lin Dong brimmed with anticipation and wonder.

He pondered the final destination this Earth Dragon Egg would reveal.

Under the Earth Dragon Egg's lead, Lin Dong navigated the twisting, labyrinthine depths below, every stride laced with mystery and revelation.

At last, after an arduous and nerve-wracking trek, they reached an enormously spacious chamber.

The confining tunnels vanished, the heavy atmosphere lifted, giving way to a serene and balanced ambiance, as though time itself had paused.

In Lin Dong's view emerged a stunning spectacle — a colossal Spiritual Energy Giant Dragon, hovering silently in the earth's core, not of flesh and bone but forged from the purest spiritual essence, radiating brilliant splendor that bathed the whole area.

This marked the fabled top-grade spiritual vein, the ultimate foundation of Earth Dragon Valley's might, and the wellspring of its formidable strength.

"This... could this be the top-grade spiritual vein?" Lin Dong whispered, waves of overwhelming awe crashing through him.

Such grandeur was beyond his experience; the Spiritual Energy Giant Dragon pulsed with vitality, its inhalations and exhalations channeling the ambient spiritual energy, as if it birthed the very essence sustaining Earth Dragon Valley.

"It's no surprise Earth Dragon Valley holds such dominance; the spiritual energy in this top-grade spiritual vein is overwhelmingly dense. Even millennia later, it remains so plentiful," Lin Dong reflected, overcome with esteem for the top-grade spiritual vein.

He knew this vein not only supplied endless spiritual sustenance to Earth Dragon Valley but also formed the bedrock of its enduring supremacy.

Lin Dong edged nearer to the Spiritual Energy Giant Dragon, sensing its timeless, immense force, as if all the realm's spiritual essence gathered at this nexus.

He tried probing it with his soul sense, only to be repelled by an unseen barrier, preventing any deeper connection.

"It looks like harnessing this top-grade spiritual vein fully demands specific techniques and fortunes," Lin Dong considered silently, yet he refused to be daunted.

Since the Earth Dragon Egg guided him here, it surely held purpose.

Maybe one day ahead, he'd uncover the means to link with this spiritual vein, unlocking immense power in the process.
