In the blink of an eye, half a month passed in the succession race in the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb.
The fierce competition had reached a white-hot stage.
After the first round, one-third of the princes would be eliminated.
Even if one had no intention of becoming the crown prince, surviving a few more rounds would increase their chances of obtaining valuable treasures in the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb.
Obviously, no one was willing to be eliminated in the first round.
In the ancient pine forest, the Ninth Prince Wang Yan, the Heavenly Book Scholar, Hao Kai, and Senior Feng worked together, calculating the Dragon Essence they collected.
"Your Highness, the Dragon Essence we've collected is enough to last us through this round."
The Heavenly Book Scholar took inventory of the Dragon Essence the others collected.
Wang Yan nodded. "In that case, there is no need to take too many risks in the remaining time."
"Ninth Prince, I've felt that something is wrong for the past few days. There are always people approaching us in the dark, as if they are purposely searching for us." Elder Feng's expression was grave, and worry could be seen on his face.
The Golden Crow Empire's Hao Kai said calmly, "I sensed it as well. However, Senior Feng's attainments in the Wind Great Dao are pretty good. It seems like he managed to shake off these people."
"I'm just lucky … With such repeated searches, it's only a matter of time before I'm exposed."
Elder Feng did not try to claim credit for himself. Instead, he spoke honestly.
Wang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly as he said, "I also sensed it. Hence, I did not want to compete for the inheritance for the rest of the time. To be safe, we should find a secluded place and hide for a while. Changji, what do you think? "
When the Heavenly Book Scholar saw that Xiao Chen was asking him, he replied calmly, "I still do not know what the situation is. I also do not know who the enemy is. It is best to remain still."
"Then it's settled."
After the Ninth Prince Wang Yan made up his mind, he asked, "Right now, which guests are still in the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb?"
The Heavenly Book Scholar thought for a while before saying, "Something unexpected happened to several people. Right now, only Xiao Suo, Qin Zhuolin, Wu Meng, and the lone Xiao Chen are still around. Your Highness, are you planning to summon them here? "
He had already sensed that someone was spying on him. Gathering these guests was undoubtedly the safest method.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yan only asked casually and did not agree.
"There's no need. The fortuitous encounters in the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb might change their lives. I haven't reached a critical juncture of life and death, so there's no need to summon it back. Moreover, forcefully summoning it back will consume a lot of dragon essence. "
Wang Yan glanced at the Heavenly Book Scholar and said, "I'll leave my safety to the three of you."
"Your Highness, please rest assured."
Wang Yan had already sensed that a prince was secretly searching for him. However, he did not know who it was.
He wasn't too nervous in his heart. He was rather calm and had a trace of the calmness of a king.
Somewhere on a desolate mountain in the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb:
As Xiao Chen refined the Heaven Essence Fruit on the spot, the image of a Blue Dragon almost overlapped with his physical body.
Around the Blue Dragon, the Dragon Roar rang out endlessly. This was the Ten Thousand Dragons Picture manifested with his own Blue Dragon as the leader.
The Great Desolate Eon Qi surged in Xiao Chen's body. The breakthrough of the Ten Thousand Dragons Art's second layer had already reached the crucial moment.
All of a sudden, a strange phenomenon occurred.
The Great Desolate Eon Qi from the Heavenly Yuan Fruit poured into the Blue Dragon. The originally faint dragon image gradually became more substantial.
Azure light flared, and Dragon Might soared.
"Boom!" Aside from the Blue Dragon, the other ten thousand dragon images shattered, turning into drops of spiritual blood.
The drops of spiritual blood looked like rain, hovering in the air.
In the next moment, the thousands of drops of spiritual blood entered the only remaining azure dragon image.
The faint dragon image slowly turned solid and lifelike, looking like it came to life and filled with spirituality.
An ancient Great Desolate Eon aura transcended time and space, descending from the distant past to the present.
There seemed to be an ancient Dragon Domain behind Xiao Chen, hidden in heavy fog. The group of dragons roared. Ten thousand dragons roared. The moment he opened his eyes.
The instant Xiao Chen opened his eyes, the fog scattered, and a Blue Dragon's head peeked out. The dragon's eyes stared at Xiao Chen. If anyone else were here, they would feel heavy pressure.
Xiao Chen vaguely felt a force calling out to him.
The Blue Dragon bloodline buried deep in Xiao Chen's body awakened. A hot berserk energy spread throughout his body, making his bloodline as hot as lava.
Amid the call of that ancient dragon voice, Xiao Chen's dragon blood surged, burning fiercely.
Xiao Chen could no longer hold back. He opened his eyes and saw the sky shattering. In that shattered corner, Xiao Chen's vision seemed to transcend time and space, seeing an ancient Dragon Nation.
Dragons roared. Ten thousand dragons roared.
Berserk dragons filled the sky and the ground. The many living dragons materialized a mythical nation.
Suddenly, one of the dragons raised its head from the sea of dragons.
That dragon's gaze traveled from the past to the future, then met Xiao Chen's eyes.
Immediately, Xiao Chen's heart trembled. The depths of his soul stirred, and his entire body trembled.
Then, he suddenly startled awake. Everything was normal; there was nothing.
It was like everything from earlier was an illusion, fleeting and fleeting, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
However, that scene was simply too shocking. With just one look, it was imprinted in the depths of his soul.
At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to understand why many of the Dragon Race seniors wanted to start a Divine Dragon Dynasty.
It was because the Dragon Race had a glorious history, once shining like the many stars in the sky, illuminating an era.
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen stopped thinking about the shock he just experienced.
After returning to reality, Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "The Ten Thousand Dragons Art should have broken through to the third layer. However, the mental cultivation method for the third layer is missing, so I can't cultivate it for now. However, the change that it brings is beyond my expectations. "
Ten Thousand Dragons Picture!
With a thought, a dragon picture appeared behind Xiao Chen.
However, this dragon picture was very different from before, completely different.
Originally, it was a picture of the Blue Dragon, a vast picture of ten thousand dragons contending for the top. Now, the vast background remained, but only the Blue Dragon remained. In the past, there were too many dragon images. Even the Blue Dragon was just a blurry silhouette, only a rough outline.
Now, the Blue Dragon's figure appeared clearly, down to the smallest detail. The dragon scales, dragon claws, and dragon spirit could be seen at a glance, without missing any details. The dragon's eyes had spirituality, and its charm was withdrawn. It was like a living Blue Dragon.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and circulated the Ten Thousand Dragons Art. Then, the picture immediately shattered.
The Blue Dragon leaped out of the vast picture, looking like it had descended from ancient times as it circled around Xiao Chen.
Dragon Might spread out from Xiao Chen's body. This was the true Divine Might of the Blue Dragon from the ancient Great Desolate Eon.
The cultivation of the Ten Thousand Dragons Art traced its origins step by step, reversing one's bloodline and returning to one's ancestry. One could cultivate it with any Dragon Race bloodline. When one reached the third layer, one would materialize a Divine Dragon unique to one's bloodline.
With one more step, the Divine Dragon would return to its ancestry and become a Great Desolate Eon Ancestor Dragon.
Xiao Chen felt satisfied with the current Divine Dragon Might. He said softly, "Given this, it will be much easier for me to execute the God Demon Body Unsealing Technique."
One Heavenly Essence Fruit allowed Xiao Chen to break through to 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor and the Ten Thousand Dragons Art to the third layer.
This was killing two birds with one stone, greatly improving his strength.
After taking out the Lightning Immortal Dew, Xiao Chen did not think too much and poured it in.
It was as that remnant soul said. This Lightning Immortal Dew had a similar effect to Origin Liquid, pure and without any side effects.
Xiao Chen poured in one cubic meter of Lightning Immortal Dew to strengthen his Dao Domain.
Then, Xiao Chen felt his peak fifth-layer Thunder Dao Domain expand at a visible rate. Then, it suddenly erupted, breaking through peak fifth-layer and advancing to the sixth layer.
Xiao Chen's cultivation, Cultivation Technique, and Dao Domain all made breakthroughs.
Everything felt like a dream. However, it was not too exaggerated. After all, this was before he entered the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb.
Xiao Chen's cultivation, Cultivation Technique, and Dao Domain had already been stuck at bottlenecks for a long time.
Now that his strength had made consecutive breakthroughs, it would not be easy for his strength to soar within a short period.
There were so many benefits to monopolizing a Superior Grade inheritance that surprised Xiao Chen.
There was still the Thunder Flame Art, which conflicted with his Cultivation Technique. So, Xiao Chen did not intend to comprehend it.
However, there was no harm in taking a look.
The instant Xiao Chen flipped open the title page, he frowned slightly, feeling stunned for a moment.
The first thing that entered Xiao Chen's eyes was a lightning pattern, exactly the same as the mysterious lightning pattern on the ancient bronze doors.
As Xiao Chen flipped through the pages, his expression turned increasingly grave. After a while, he suddenly closed the book.
This lightning pattern was the outline of a seal called the Thundercloud Lock.
One could grasp this seal and condense this lightning pattern only by grasping the Thunder Great Dao and the Fire Great Dao.
"I do not need to grasp this lightning pattern. However, since I understand the principles behind it, can it help me open that bronze door again?"
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up as he thought of a possibility.
I'll try it out first. Xiao Chen immediately took action after thinking about it. He soared into the air and rushed back to the thunder flame inheritance.
