The Dragon Clan's Far-Reaching Connections, Passing On the Great Dao
Only Chen Ning and a few others remained who hadn't made a choice.
At this moment, the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils had already been used and was in a cooling-off state, making it impossible to see the mystery of these three doors.
The third gate, where Blazing Star Lord and the others were, was the most dangerous for him.
Do not enter lightly.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ning chose to step through the first door.
Old Man Yang and Nalan Yao nodded, preparing to follow the leader inside.
But then...
The enormous, Yellow Dragon phantom raised one of its claws, blocking the first gate.
What does this mean?
Chen Ning was somewhat puzzled.
Yellow Dragon chuckled and said, "You're just going to skip it? These few doors are just to fool them, hahaha..."
Chen Ning couldn't help but frown.
Now that no one was around, the plump Yellow Dragon had no more scruples and said to Chen Ning, "Sir, may I catch a glimpse of the Primogenitor's true face?"
As he said this, the Yellow Dragon rubbed its claws together expectantly.
At this point, Chen Ning finally understood: it was all due to Little Black's connections!
Wait, no, I mean the dragon vein!
Chen Ning pulled the Little Black Dragon out of his collar with one hand. The little guy was still sleepy and clung tightly to Chen Ning's arm.
Yellow Dragon was terrified.
Although it is now a phantom, it still carefully uses its dragon body as a cushion underneath, for fear that the Primogenitor will fall to the ground.
"What does this mean?"
Chen Ning looked at Yellow Dragon, who chuckled and said, "I sensed the aura of the Primogenitor the moment you came in, but there are too many foolish humans. I had to lure them in, otherwise, as just a divine soul, I wouldn't be able to do anything to them."
"Then aren't I also the stupid human being you're talking about?"
"You are different. You were chosen by the Primogenitor, you are a friend of my Dragon Clan. Moreover, you already possess the True Dragon Body, and are very close to my race."
"I see."
"Alright, I've seen the true face of the Primogenitor. Now, it's time to get down to business!"
"What important business is it?"
Chen Ning asked.
A hint of arrogance flashed in Yellow Dragon's eyes as he said, "Naturally, I will pass on the Great Dao of Time to you!"
Hearing this, Chen Ning couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Yellow Dragon continued leisurely, "I am not dead, but trapped in a certain period of the past. I am passing on the Great Dao of Time to you, hoping that you will achieve something and then rescue me. Even if you don't rescue me, it doesn't matter. As long as you protect the Primogenitor, I will be at peace!"
Upon hearing this...
Chen Ning nodded and said earnestly, "I will."
"We need to hurry. Those doors might hold off some people, but they can't hold back the emperor!"
"Clear."
Chen Ning nodded again.
Old Man Yang and Nalan Yao, standing to the side, were somewhat dumbfounded.
The champion's luck is truly off the charts.
Yellow Dragon taught him everything without him having to lift a finger.
Before truly accepting the inheritance, Chen Ning called Hua Luo to his side and gave her a few words of advice.
Then.
They are only just beginning to accept the inheritance.
Behind the third door.
It was a void.
Countless people initially explored everywhere, only to find in the end that there was no mystery or secret at all.
But.
The rules Yellow Dragon spoke of do indeed exist.
It can steal other people's time.
Or rather, it's called lifespan!
Many older cultivators harbored evil thoughts and began to plunder the lifespan of younger cultivators.
Even.
It drained many people dry.
They perished directly within this secret realm.
A hint of reluctance flashed in Emperor Yu's eyes, yet he was powerless to stop it.
Now that we've come to this secret realm, we're prepared to bear any consequences.
Even as Saint Emperor, he could not interfere with these matters.
Once intervention occurs.
That is, it becomes tainted by cause and effect, and right and wrong.
That's all.
A day and a night passed.
Suddenly, Emperor Yu opened his eyes, and a beam of light shot out from them, piercing directly through the void.
At the same time, he said to the goddess Luo Qingcheng beside him, "Goddess, this secret realm is nothing but a deception. Let's leave!"
Luo Qingcheng nodded slightly.
Together with Emperor Yu, they broke through the secret realm and departed.
Far away.
Blazing Star Lord, Luo Wuchen, and the others also followed the opening created by Emperor Yu and went out one by one.
When Emperor Yu returned to the cave...
The first thing I saw was Chen Ning was sitting cross-legged on one side of the cave wall.
Noticing the strange fluctuations emanating from his body, a hint of surprise flashed in his old eyes.
"It seems this boy has won the favor of that cunning Yellow Dragon..."
Luo Qingcheng's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said, "Elder Yu, are you saying that Yellow Dragon passed on the Great Dao of Time to him?"
"That's right, the little guy is lucky."
Then.
Luo Wuchen, Uncle Qi, Blazing Star Lord, and others also emerged from that secret realm.
Seeing this scene before my eyes.
Their expressions all changed.
Uncle Qi could naturally see the strange fluctuations emanating from Chen Ning.
He then explained it to Luo Wuchen.
Therefore, Luo Wuchen's gaze towards Chen Ning now carried a hint of undisguised jealousy.
He's envious!
The Blazing Star Lord's gaze was even more somber, filled with resentment and malice.
These people were completely fooled by Yellow Dragon, but in the end, Chen Ning benefited. Although they didn't know the specific reasons, they were all tricked.
Naturally, Blazing Star Lord could not swallow this insult.
"You vile beings from the lower realms..."
Blazing Star Lord gritted his teeth.
At the same time.
He also took one last deep look at the two Saint Kings who were protecting Chen Ning.
Neither of them are simple.
He must not act rashly.
At this moment.
A streak of light flashed by.
A person with gray hair, surrounded by a mist of lightning, appeared in everyone's sight.
"Lei... Lei Dian?"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, unsure if they could believe it.
This man's hair was already gray, and his face was aged; only the fierce lightning could prove that he was Lei Dian, the island lord of Wind and Thunder Island.
"How did he end up like this?"
"It seems he chose the first door, where time flows incredibly fast, which is why he's aged so much!"
At this moment, Lei Dian was furious. He touched his face in disbelief; it was already loose and sagging. This first secret realm had stripped him of five thousand years of lifespan.
His lifespan is now running out.
Seeing this, Blazing Star Lord sneered, then shouted, "Everyone, you've all seen it! We've all been tricked by this Yellow Dragon! We risked our lives in the secret realm, only to have the inheritance of the Great Dao of Time passed to this person..."
"On what grounds?"
Are you really willing to accept this? To be toyed with by that Yellow Dragon?
"I'm not reconciled!"
Someone shouted.
The Blazing Star Lord revealed a smile and said, "So, it's time to vent your anger! Chen Ning is nothing but a person from the lower realm. What qualifications does he have to obtain such a profound Dao? Now is the time to swarm him and tear him to pieces to vent your hatred!"
"That's right! If we can't have it, he can't have it either!"
"If I can't have it, I'll destroy it!"
Anger surged in everyone's hearts, especially Lei Dian, who already had a grudge against Chen Ning and the others. Now, it was time to settle both old and new scores!
He was protected by two holy Saint King, which was a troublesome situation.
However, there were many powerful figures present, and at this moment, behind Blazing Star Lord, Ximen Longyuan also took a step forward.
His eyes were filled with icy anger.
