Yi Yun was not the only one who sensed the aura. Everyone present shuddered because of it. The tense atmosphere naturally eased.
No one dared to act rashly in front of the Myriad God Patriarch.
A few seconds later, the grand hall they were in suddenly changed. The palace vanished, transforming into a completely open world.
A gigantic cauldron descended from the sky. There was a black dragon engraved on the cauldron and it was extremely heavy. It effused an aura that could repress mountains and rivers.
"Ascending Dragon Cauldron?"
A personal disciple said. To them, the Ascending Dragon Cauldron was the cornerstone treasure of the Myriad God Ridge. It was also a treasure that belonged to the Myriad God Patriarch.
However, Yi Yun knew that the Ascending Dragon Cauldron did not belong to anyone. The cauldron in front of him was not the Ascending Dragon Cauldron at all. It was only a replica. Although it was an extremely good replica, making it look majestic and astounding, it was far inferior to the real Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
Standing in front of the real Ascending Dragon Cauldron made one feel like they were facing the world.
On top of the cauldron stood a red-clothed boy. The boy's eyes were small, and although his body looked young, his face was not young at all. There were also fine wrinkles on his face, which gave off an indescribably strange feeling.
And behind the red-dressed boy were two people. One of them was an elder that Yi Yun knew. He was none other than the Myriad God Ridge's sect master!
The other person was a beautiful youth. He looked like a mortal about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was dressed in white with purple patterns embroidered on his sleeves. He was tall and had bright eyes and white teeth. He had an outstanding bearing.
Just from the trio's position, it was easy to guess who the Myriad God Patriarch was. It was the red-dressed boy standing in the middle!
"He's the Myriad God Patriarch?"
Yi Yun looked at the strange-looking red-dressed boy. If he had just swept a glance at him, he would have thought that he looked alright. But the more he looked at him, the more uncomfortable he felt. He even felt a slight sense of disgust. It was unknown what cultivation technique he cultivated in that made him look like a child despite his advanced age.
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
No one present was a fool. Although it was their first time meeting the Myriad God Patriarch, they immediately guessed his identity. Just his powerful aura was enough to confirm their suspicions.
The red-clothed boy scanned the crowd lazily and said, "Dispense with the formalities. I have come to see you today to announce a few things."
The red-clothed boy's voice was a little hoarse. It did not sound like a child's voice at all. Every sound seemed to drill into one's brain through one's ears.
"The first thing is about the successor of the next Sect Leader!"
Successor to the sect leader!?
Everyone held their breaths. It was a matter of the successor to the sect master. It was no wonder the Myriad God Patriarch had personally announced it!
The Myriad God Ridge's sect master had been in office for millions of years. People had nearly forgotten that the Myriad God Ridge would change its sect master. Myriad God Ridge's many personal disciples cultivated diligently with the goal of becoming a core Elder. No one thought of becoming the next Myriad God Ridge sect master.
No one had expected that the next Sect Leader would be chosen today. The crowd couldn't help but feel excited. However, they also knew that the chances of such a good thing happening to them were too slim.
Who could it be?
Everyone held their breaths. At that moment, the red-clothed boy added, "All these years, I've been traveling the Sinkhole in search of opportunities to improve myself further. However, my potential has been exhausted and the chances are too slim. Therefore, I wish to find someone to inherit my mantle. While traveling the Seven Desolates, I really did find a suitable young man. I have already taken him in as my last disciple. Yunyang, greet your fellow disciples."
As the red-clothed boy spoke, the youth behind him stood up. He casually cupped his fists at the crowd and said proudly, "I'm Feng Yunyang. I was fortunate enough to be enlightened by Master. Now, I've returned to the Myriad God Ridge with Master. Senior Brothers and Sisters, please take care of me!"
What? The patriarch had taken in a disciple!?
Everyone present was dumbfounded. They had been in the Myriad God Ridge for so many years, but they had never heard of the patriarch taking in a disciple. They never expected that the patriarch would bring a disciple back from his travels!
Who was this Feng Yunyang? How was he able to become the patriarch's only disciple?
Without a doubt, the successor to the sect master was none other than Feng Yunyang!
Everyone had noticed the young man and initially believed that he was an old freak whose age was indiscernible. They never expected that he was really a young man. Furthermore, he was the patriarch's only disciple!
Instantly, many personal disciples felt extremely disappointed. Although they did not have any hopes of becoming the sect master's successor landing on them, they still felt uncomfortable that an outsider had appeared out of nowhere.
"The sect master's successor …"
Yi Yun looked at the red-clothed boy and the high-spirited youth beside him. He had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. From his point of view, the red-clothed boy's thoughts were all on the Ascending Dragon Cauldron. Why would he decide on the successor to the Myriad God Ridge's sect master?
"There's one more thing." The red-clothed boy spoke again. "I know that all of you are unconvinced by Yunyang and wish to vie for it. In fact, the opportunities are equal. Although I have decided on Yunyang as my last disciple, all of you here are similarly my disciples. If you perform well, my heritage and treasures can be given to you. I'm old and I don't have much time left. The things I left behind have to be passed down to future generations. How much you get will depend on your ability."
"I have a list of natural treasures here. If any of you can find the materials on the list, I will give you a corresponding reward."
As the red-clothed boy spoke, he waved his hand. The list in his hand transformed into a stream of light and stretched out hundreds of feet, presenting itself in front of everyone.
There were large golden words on the list. Each word was the size of a millstone. Everyone could see them clearly.
"Oh? These materials … "
Yi Yun's pupils constricted slightly. Most of the materials on the list were the bones and blood of Fey beasts. Herbs were a minority. Furthermore, the names of the Fey beasts caught Yi Yun's attention …
Heaven Devouring Wyrm!
Four-track Snake!
Dragonbone Whale!
Crimson Blood Celestial Silkworm!
Li Fire Centipede!
Nine-winged Golden Dragon!
…
The names of these Ancient Fey beasts did not seem to be related to each other over the past few months. However, Yi Yun was well-versed in the divine alchemist's notes, so he knew the detailed information of all the Fey beasts. These Fey beasts had one thing in common — they more or less had the bloodline of a True Dragon.
There was no need to elaborate on the Heaven Devouring Flood Dragon. Back when Yi Yun was in the Luo clan, he had obtained the recognition of the twelve ancient Fey columns and obtained a Heaven Devouring Flood Dragon's tail bone. In terms of quality, the Heaven Devouring Flood Dragon's tail bone was considered rather poor. It was much worse than a spine that was rich in bone marrow, but even so, Yi Yun had obtained great benefits from the Heaven Devouring Flood Dragon's tail bone.
The Four Dust Snake was a legendary python that could transform into a dragon. It was called the Four Dust Snake because it could grow four legs from its abdomen.
Legend has it that the Dragonspine Whale was transformed from the Dragon King of the Sea, also known as the King Whale. It was a giant beast in the sea. Those who transformed into dragons were called whales, and those who transformed into rocs were called kun.
As for the Crimson Blood Heavenly Silkworm, it was the legendary Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations. After the nine transformations, it would transform into a golden dragon …
…
After Yi Yun finished reading the entire list, there were a total of 19 Ancient Fey beasts. They were all related to dragons.
There were also three other herbs that were also related to dragons.
For example, the Fey Blood Orchid was protected by the Ancient Fey, the Great Desolate Python. It took a million years to grow and absorb the Great Desolate Python's aura. And the Great Desolate Python also had the bloodline of a True Dragon!
These materials were priceless treasures. The Myriad God Patriarch had mobilized all the personal disciples and Elders of the Myriad God Ridge to search for them. Most of them had illustrious family clans backing them, but even so, it was extremely difficult to gather all of them!
