Xiao Chen's and Tang Dan's group's destination was the Heaven Dragon Palace. They were going the same way but on different paths.
The path that Xiao Chen wanted to take was bound to be filled with difficulties, filled with many obstacles.
Two months later, Xiao Chen appeared in the Divine Dragon Empire, in front of an ancient dragon city.
The words "Heaven Dragon City" were written on the city gates.
The Dao contained in the words "Heaven" had already advanced to a kind of Heavenly Might, transcending the limits of the Great Dao and reaching an even higher level.
As Xiao Chen stood below the city gates and looked up, he felt that the sky was boundlessly far away. It was like the sky really was above him. The words "Heaven" exuded might without showing any anger.
Aside from Ancestor Dragon City, there were only seven complete ancient dragon cities in the Divine Dragon Empire.
Each of them had at least a million years of history. When the Immortal Epoch collapsed, all the past civilizations and inheritances had turned to dust.
However, some ancient buildings remained. When the Martial Epoch rose, people discovered them and passed them on.
Now, the seven Dragon's Gate's outer palaces managed the seven ancient dragon cities in the empire. The one managing the Heaven Dragon City was the Heaven Dragon Palace.
The dragon city before Xiao Chen was even more ancient and vast than the Soaring Dragon Marquisate's county city.
Upon entering the city, every street was filled with hidden Daoist Rhymes. If one used their Soul Power to look, they would be able to sense the Daoist Rhymes. When he looked with his Soul Energy, he would discover a bright light invisible to the naked eye, dazzling and dazzling.
Boundless Dragon Qi spread in the sky, already turning solid, turning into thick clouds that encased the entire Heaven Dragon City.
There seemed to be mysterious buildings in the purple clouds made of Dragon Qi. They contained supreme Dragon Might, aloof and aloof, giving people immense pressure.
Several buildings on both sides of the streets were made of many inherited Dao Tools.
The complete Daoist Rhymes were interconnected, and under the communication of the internal array formation, they formed a stable Daoist Rhyme Small World.
That was to say, these buildings did not look large.
After entering, one would discover a completely different world. Perhaps a building that looked only one hundred meters tall might hide a mountain range after entering.
Clearly, these were the major clans of the empire, using them as a facade.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary faction to casually use an inherited Dao Tool in such a manner.
The Heaven Dragon Palace was located at the very center of this ancient Dragon City. It was surrounded by mountains that towered into the clouds.
Xiao Chen had calculated the time and rushed over. Today was the day when the Heaven Dragon Hall was recruiting disciples.
Dragon Race cultivators who came to participate in the test crowded outside the gates of the Heaven Dragon Palace.
Some were like Xiao Chen, middle-stage Star Venerate experts. Of course, there were even more early-stage Star Venerate disciples. There were also quite a number of late-stage Star Venerates.
Such a scene indeed made people sigh. A sixth-rank sect was indeed different.
In other sects, Star Venerates were already true inheritors. However, everyone here was a Star Venerate. If one were not a Star Venerate, one would not even be qualified to set foot in this mountain, much less enter the Heaven Dragon Palace.
However, after thinking about it, this was normal. After all, the Divine Dragon Empire was one of the eight great empires of the Central Great Realm, a huge faction.
As Xiao Chen stood before the gates of the Heaven Dragon Palace, he sighed ruefully. If the Blue Dragon bloodline still existed, he would be joining the Blue Dragon Palace.
How unfortunate! How unfortunate!
To think that no one recognized the Blue Dragon bloodline. Xiao Chen could only join the Heaven Dragon Palace, which mainly consisted of mixed-blood dragons.
One day, he would reestablish the Blue Dragon Palace and restore the glory of the Blue Dragon bloodline.
Xiao Chen frowned heavily as he swore in his heart.
"Another year, the Heaven Dragon Palace is recruiting disciples. This time, it seems to be even livelier than before."
"That is natural. I heard that the slots to enter the inner sect will be decided after one year. Many of the clan disciples who do not lack resources have to join the Dragon's Gate's outer palace first if they want to enter Ancestor Dragon City. "
"Ancestor Dragon City, the gathering place of many dragons. Only there can one come into contact with the core inheritance of the Dragon Race."
"However, we can forget about it. Early-stage Star Venerates can only become outer palace disciples of the Heaven Dragon Palace. Middle-stage Star Venerates and late-stage Star Venerates can try to join the inner palace. "
Outside the gates, the place was bustling with discussions.
"Boom!"
Just at this moment, an incredibly berserk aura came from the distance. The crowd turned their heads to look. They saw eight horses pulling a war chariot in the north. A youth with a cold expression sat on the war chariot.
The youth appeared calm and composed, exuding a terrifying Dragon Might from his body. That was the aura of a True Dragon bloodline.
When the True Dragon Might leaked out slightly, it kicked up a strong wind, deeply shocking the mixed-blood dragon bloodline cultivators.
"That is Fang Tianyi, the Flaming Cloud County's Fang Clan's Young Master. He possesses a Grade 5 True Dragon bloodline. How terrifying! To think that he is already a Holy Venerate. With his cultivation, he can probably become a core disciple of the Heaven Dragon Palace! "
Core disciple!
Tang Dan had said that becoming an inner palace disciple of the Heaven Dragon Palace might seem impressive, but in reality, they were not worth mentioning. In reality, he was not even worth mentioning. Before the core disciples, he had no status at all.
Only by becoming a core disciple could one be promoted to a heaven-class core disciple and receive the focus of the Heaven Dragon Palace's nurturing.
Outer palace disciple, inner palace disciple, core disciple, heaven-class core disciple …
Every step was a hurdle, like a sieve. Every hurdle would eliminate ninety-nine percent of the people. Ordinary people might not be able to become a core disciple even after working hard for their entire lives. If one could directly become a core disciple, it would be like reaching the heavens in one step.
The moment Fang Tianyi appeared, he immediately attracted many envious gazes.
True Dragon bloodline, rich clan disciple, Holy Venerate cultivation, and strong talent. Everything about him was worthy of envy.
Xiao Chen felt shocked in his heart. The scene before him verified Tang Dan's words once again. The Heaven Dragon Palace could not be underestimated.
Following the appearance of Fang Tianyi, many disciples of the clans also showed up. As expected, all of them were Holy Venerates. Clearly, these people were aiming for a core disciple spot.
These people did not lack resources in the first place. They were not as desperate as the mixed-blood dragon cultivators to join the Heaven Dragon Palace.
All they cared about was the right to enter Ancestor Dragon City at the end of the year.
Their goal was the same as Xiao Chen's.
The slots were limited. Since everyone wanted to enter, it would be hard to avoid competition, becoming rivals.
As these rich clan disciples appeared, the atmosphere slowly changed. These rich clan disciples looked at the other Holy Venerates with hostile expressions and arrogance in their eyes.
Some of these people even had old grudges. If not for entering the Heaven Dragon Palace, they would have already started fighting.
"Friends who want to join my Heaven Dragon Palace and participate in the outer palace disciple test, take the small path on the left. Those who want to participate in the inner palace disciple test, take the small path on the right. As for … "
A resonant voice rang out in the hazy purple clouds in the sky. Then, many Holy Venerates flew down from the sky.
These people were the core disciples of the Heaven Dragon Palace. They were in charge of this test and the guide.
"As for those who want to be promoted to core disciple, stay where you are. Let me see how many people there are!"
One of the young cultivators swept his gaze around, inspiring fear in everyone. The many cultivators in front of the mountain gates immediately fell silent.
This was a demonic genius who was a peak early-stage Holy Venerate. Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. The dense Veritable Essence Energy in this person's body made him feel as dazzling as the red sun.
It was vast, dense, and dense. This person's Veritable Essence Energy had been refined countless times. It was boundlessly strong and incredibly vast.
With one look, it was clear that this person was not an ordinary Holy Venerate.
It looked like Tang Dan's warning to Xiao Chen was still somewhat conservative. After coming to the Central Great Realm, Xiao Chen could no longer use the standards of the outside world.
Furthermore, the Divine Dragon Empire was an elite empire with only Dragon Race cultivators and no ordinary people.
It was simply too easy to produce geniuses and outstanding talents.
Furthermore, this Central Great Realm was in the center of the Great Thousand Realms, possessing all the Luck. The environment and the level of space here were naturally much higher than that of the outside world.
No wonder the people of the other great realms mostly remained unknown when they came to the Central Great Realm, dying with regrets.
There were too many geniuses in this place. No wonder Tang Dan revealed an extremely shocked expression when she guessed that Xiao Chen wanted to enter Ancestor Dragon City.
Why would Xiao Chen need to disguise himself? He was just a Star Venerate mixed-blood dragon. No one would pay attention to him at all.
"This person is Yi Qianyun, a Grade 6 True Dragon bloodline. Ten years ago, he comprehended the Sword Great Dao. The most terrifying rumor about him is that he killed ten Evil Dao Holy Venerates when he was still a Star Venerate two years ago. "
"I heard that as well. I heard that he grew stronger the more he fought. Finally, he broke through the bottleneck of Star Venerate in one go. After that battle, his name spread everywhere, and his Luck continued to rise. He ran into many fortuitous encounters, and indeed, he is already on the verge of breaking through to middle-stage Holy Venerate. "
"The scariest thing is that his Veritable Essence Energy is very pure and vast. Who knows how many resources he refined to achieve such an effect?"
Seeing Yi Qianyun step forward, the many young cultivators preparing to be promoted to core disciple started discussing him.
As Yi Qianyun stood on the tall platform, he exuded an overwhelming pride that did not scatter. As he looked around, he smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. To think that there are close to fifty of them. This is truly the most in the past. The attraction of Ancestor Dragon City is indeed extraordinary. However, in my Heaven Dragon Palace, not everyone who is a Holy Venerate is a core disciple. Wait … "
Suddenly, Yi Qianyun's expression changed slightly. His gaze fell on Xiao Chen as he shouted coldly, "Where did this little mixed-blood dragon come from? Did you not hear what I said?"
Right after Yi Qianyun spoke, many gazes immediately landed on the white-clad Xiao Chen.
Among the group of Holy Venerates, Xiao Chen, who was a middle-stage Star Venerate with no bloodline, was invisible in the first place. Yi Qianyun's cold shout made him stand out.
