CHAPTER 924: CHAPTER 918: ANCESTOR DRAGON’S ENERGY

"Ancestor Dragon’s Energy?"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow. The so-called Ancestor Dragon must be the first dragon born in this Ancient World, also the strongest of the Dragon Clan.

After the Ancestor Dragon’s demise, its body remained indestructible, preserved by the Dragon Clan using special methods. The Ancestor Dragon’s Energy nurtured by the dragon’s corpse is highly beneficial for enhancing the Dragon Clan Bloodline. However, the Ancestor Dragon’s Energy is only useful for the Dragon Clan; other races cannot absorb it.

Speaking of Ancestor Dragon’s Energy, Ao Kun reminded Ye Xuan that given the current difficulty in advancing his cultivation, focusing on bloodline might be a good breakthrough point.

"When I have time, I will definitely visit Dragon Island."

Ye Xuan cupped his hands in respect.

"Don’t be too optimistic yet. To accept the Ancestor Dragon’s baptism, one must go through numerous tests. You are not from Dragon Island, so the hope is slim."

Ao Kun shook his head, pouring cold water on Ye Xuan’s enthusiasm.

Only the geniuses prioritized within the Dragon Clan are qualified for the Ancestor Dragon’s baptism, and the prerequisite is being from Dragon Island. Although Ye Xuan possesses a pure Dragon Clan Bloodline, he ultimately isn’t from Dragon Island.

"It all depends on fate; no need to force it."

Ye Xuan smiled lightly. Such things cannot be forced; once there, he’ll find a way.

"Since the matter of the Ancient Taiyin Dragon has nothing to do with you, I won’t say more. Farewell."

Ao Kun cupped his hands towards Ye Xuan, then led the Dragon Clan out of the hall.

Bao Yuntian’s face turned ugly. Just as he was about to leave, Ye Xuan’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Elder Bao Yuntian, others may leave, but you seem to have some promises yet to fulfill."

Upon hearing this, Bao Yuntian’s body paused, and Ye Xuan’s voice came again, "Someone clearly said earlier, if no issues were found, they’d accept any consequences. I can’t pretend I didn’t hear that."

"Xiao Tianxiong, keep Elder Bao Yuntian here and entertain him well."

Ye Xuan said indifferently, with a smile.

"Lord Ao Kun!"

Bao Yuntian didn’t want to be left by Ye Xuan, so he quickly sought help from Ao Kun. The latter slightly frowned; after all, he brought Bao Yuntian here, and letting Ye Xuan deal with him wouldn’t look good for Ao Kun’s reputation.

"Brother Ao Kun, this was Elder Bao Yuntian’s own promise. The Dragon Clan has a reputation for keeping their word. Are we going to let Elder Bao Yuntian break his promise? That doesn’t seem like the Dragon Clan’s way." Ye Xuan said lightly.

After a moment of hesitation, Ao Kun shook his head and waved his hand, "Let’s go!"

He then left the chamber, no longer concerned with Bao Yuntian.

"Scoundrel!"

Bao Yuntian’s face turned red; he hadn’t expected to be abandoned so easily, completely contrary to his expectations.

"Elder Bao Yuntian, you might as well stay here for now until the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor comes to redeem you personally." Ye Xuan said with a gentle smile.

"How dare you? Ye Xuan, challenging the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace won’t end well for you. Let me go now, and I’ll persuade the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor to reconcile with your Light City, forming a friendly alliance."

Bao Yuntian said hurriedly, first threatening, then persuading, using both soft and hard tactics.

"Oh? Since when did Elder Bao Yuntian become so kind-hearted? Unfortunately, it’s hard to believe. You might as well stay here obediently; maybe the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor will bring some treasured item to redeem you."

Ye Xuan said unconcernedly.

"You!"

Bao Yuntian didn’t expect Ye Xuan to be so unyielding. He took a deep breath and suddenly threw something from his Qiankun Ring, which looked like a rope, wildly swinging in front of Ye Xuan, and in the blink of an eye, extended to hundreds of meters, quickly binding Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao.

Taking advantage of a gap, Bao Yuntian immediately turned and fled, darting towards the hall exit.

"Stop!"

Xiao Tianxiong’s face changed; just as he was about to chase, two phantoms flashed before him, and the next moment, a cry of misery echoed from outside the hall.

When he stepped outside, he discovered Bao Yuntian lying on the ground like a dead dog, and beside him were none other than Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao.

In just that brief moment, Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao swiftly subdued Bao Yuntian, making his attempt to escape before them utterly laughable.

"Take him away!"

Ye Xuan waved his hand. He wasn’t one to show mercy; not killing Bao Yuntian then already showed great leniency. Now, with Ling Qianxue in seclusion, they could deal with Bao Yuntian once she was out.

"Seems I need to prepare and make a trip to the Dragon Clan." Having captured Bao Yuntian, Ye Xuan recalled Ao Kun’s words earlier; indeed, the Ancestor Dragon’s Energy greatly tempted him.

"Dragon Island is located at the westernmost part of the Western World, within the Endless Sea, and is a powerful force. If you truly wish to go, you should make ample preparations." Nangong Yao said, her face slightly tense.

"Certainly, before heading to Dragon Island, I plan to visit the Spirit Martial Continent and bring our family members over."

Ye Xuan’s eyes revealed a hint of anticipation; his only ties in this world were Nangong Yao and Ling Qianxue, as well as his mother Su Ying and the Ye family.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Nangong Yao’s eyes brightened. She hadn’t seen her grandfather for a long time, nor Granny Ning.

"No need, you need to oversee Light City. I’ll handle this. With my current strength, I have no rivals on the Spirit Martial Continent. There’s no need to worry."

Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head. With his current strength, unless encountering a Sealing Emperor Strong Person, he had no opponents below that level. Indeed, anyone below Sealing Emperor Strong People wouldn’t be his match; he was practically invincible.

...

Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace.

Within the magnificent hall.

"Scoundrel, useless fool, just an absolute waste!"

The hall echoed with the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor’s angry voice.

His anger naturally stemmed from the matter of Bao Yuntian, who not only failed to threaten Ye Xuan but was captured by him, resulting in losses on both sides.

"Heavenly Emperor, please calm down. That Light City is truly hateful, constantly opposing our Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace. If Light City isn’t eliminated, where will our Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace’s dignity be?"

An elder from the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace cupped his hands and said solemnly.

"That Ye Xuan boy is not worth worrying about, but the Emperor Light is quite formidable. With my strength, truly defeating her would be challenging." The Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor shook his head.

"There’s no need for direct conflict with them."

A strange expression flickered on the elder’s face, he grinned, "Isn’t the Netherworld Ghost Cave about to open? Every exploration leads to numerous strong deaths, even Sealing Emperor Strong People can’t escape unscathed. Perhaps we can use this opportunity to eliminate these people."
