A Sexagenary Cycle Flew By (26)

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The loud and resonant sound of the bell Dang Kai the Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Palace, and every Flood Dragon that heard the bell felt its dragon blood boil.

"The Nine Dragons Bell, the Guardian emerges! Another Dragon Mound Guardian has appeared in my Flood Dragon Clan?" A dragon's roar of inexplicable joy resounded from the depths of the Dragon Palace. Then, a black Flood Dragon head, hundreds of feet in size, emerged from a certain void. Its two golden vertical pupils were like a great sun hanging in the sky, radiating dazzling light.

This is the foundation of the Luochuan River Flood Dragon Clan, an Old Black Dragon in the Mid Sage Manifestation. His lifespan is running out. He has been sleeping in a special space deep within the Dragon Palace to prolong his lifespan. When he has less than a year left to live, he will go to the Dragon Tomb.

There are quite a few ancient Dragon Clan like the Old Black Dragon in the Dragon Palace.

The Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Clan has existed for far too long. The Seven Stars Sacred Land has only existed for 200,000 years, while the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace has existed for at least twice as long.

Therefore, until the very last moment of life and death, no one knows just how deep the secrets of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace truly are.

Inside the Dragon King's Palace, the Flood Dragon King, who was drinking and making merry with several of his queens, immediately stood up upon hearing the bell. His expression was a mixture of shock and anticipation. "Another Dragon Mound Guardian has been born. Could it be my son?"

The Dragon King shared the same idea as the Grand Elder, the Third Elder, and other high-ranking Flood Dragon Clan. Before long, groups of Flood Dragon that had transformed into dragon forms flew toward Dragon Island.

This time, the number of Flood Dragons was more than ten times greater than when the Luochuan River Dragon King and other Flood Dragons were sent to the Dragon Tomb.

Many Flood Dragon Clan who knew the meaning of the bell's sound followed the main force to Dragon Island, wanting to see who had passed the True Dragon Road and become the new generation's Dragon Mound Guardian. Hundreds of Flood Dragons marched in a mighty procession, with wind and thunder roaring, towards Dragon Island.

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Transformation Pool deep within the Dragon Tomb of the Dragon Island Secret Realm, the Luochuan River Dragon King, the Flood Dragon Crown Prince, Long Jue, and other Flood Dragons were all diligently absorbing the pure dragon blood floating around them in their respective areas to purify their bloodlines.

Depending on their performance on the True Dragon Road, the Flood Dragons entering the Dragon Tomb were naturally assigned to areas that were either good or bad.

The Flood Dragons that remain in the first half of the True Dragon Road can only stay at the very surface of the Dragon Transformation Pool. The Dragon Transformation Pool has the worst effect, and the increase in Bloodline Concentration is naturally extremely limited.

Flood Dragons like Flood Dragon Crown Prince and Long Jue, who have nearly reached the latter half of the True Dragon Road, cultivate in the deeper layers of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

The pool water there is much more effective at tempering bloodlines; even though the two dragons' Bloodline Concentration, they can still benefit greatly.

Of course, the one who benefits the most is definitely the Luochuan River Dragon King.

He traversed the True Dragon Road and leaped over the Dragon Gate, enjoying treatment that far surpassed that of the Flood Dragon Crown Prince or the Long Jue.

At the bottom of the Dragon Transformation Pool, viscous golden water rippled around me, and wisps of dragon-shaped Qi and Blood floated in the water, like mischievous sprites.

A golden Flood Dragon coiled in the pool, its immense suction force creating a huge vortex that greedily devoured the dragon-shaped Qi and Blood, which was extremely rare even in the deepest parts of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

If the Flood Dragon Crown Prince and Long Jue see this scene, they would be driven mad with jealousy.

They rarely encounter even a wisp of dragon-shaped Qi and Blood, but with the Luochuan River Dragon King, it's as if it's free, and they flock to it like swarms of bees.

Boom!!

With the infusion of immense and pure dragon-shaped Qi and Blood, the Bloodline Concentration of the Luochuan River Dragon King began to rise rapidly.

At the same time, the massive amount of Spiritual Qi contained within his Qi and Blood was also enhancing his cultivation level.

Due to his previous enlightenment, the Luochuan River Dragon King has already reached the Spirit Transformation Late Stage, and his understanding of his own path has reached an extremely profound level. He is not far from the perfection of the Force Realm.

At this moment, he was like a bottle that had expanded tenfold; the water that could have filled the bottle was now only sloshing around at the bottom.

Moreover, as the dragon-shaped Qi and Blood continuously refines the bloodline, the material of this bottle is also constantly optimized, as if it has transformed from iron into refined steel, and its load-bearing capacity is now incomparable to what it was before.

Time passed slowly, and the aura of the Luochuan River Dragon King continued to rise. Unbeknownst to him, the barrier of the Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation realm shattered!

However, this was only the beginning.

As more and more dragon-shaped Qi and Blood flowed into his body, the Luochuan River Dragon King's aura grew at an even faster rate.

Like Volcano erupting, the violent and scorching lava shot into the sky, much like the emotions that the Luochuan River Dragon King had suppressed for hundreds of years.

Boom!!

With a loud, clearly audible roar, the Luochuan River Dragon King suddenly reached the Spirit Transformation Late Stage realm.

The Dragon Transformation Pool rippled wildly, and the dragon's vital Qi and Blood continued to flow into it without ceasing.

Bang! Bang!

Dragon scales shattered one by one, golden dragon blood flowed freely, and a painful groan came from the mouth of the Luochuan River Dragon King.

He was trying his best to suppress it. Breaking through two realms in a row was already his limit. His foundation was already unstable. If he broke through any further, even if he successfully broke through to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm, his foundation would collapse, and he would have no hope of the Sage Manifestation Realm in this lifetime.

However, the Dragon Transformation Pool has no will; its previous violent absorption has led to its current bitter consequences, leaving the Luochuan River Dragon King heartbroken and speechless.

"Could it be that I just turned over and then killed myself?" This strange thought involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Yang Tianyou, who had been possessing the Luochuan River Dragon King, remained completely calm.

He didn't believe that the Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldiers would let this newly born Dragon Mound Guardian be burst by the Dragon Transformation Pool. If such a thing really happened, it would be a dark chapter in the history of the Flood Dragon Clan for ten thousand years.

Just as Yang Tianyou had expected, when the Luochuan River Dragon King was about to reach his limit, a giant Scarlet Gold hand reached out from above, gently scooped up the golden Flood Dragon, which had swelled to three hundred feet in length, and brought it out of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

The light and shadow flickered before his eyes, the pressure vanished instantly, and the Luochuan River Dragon King, panting heavily, raised his head to survey the scene before him.

This is an incomparably magnificent Palace, entirely golden, with an extremely high dome upon which dragon shadows coil. Twelve hundred enormous golden pillars with coiled dragons support the four directions, each pillar being ten times larger than the Luochuan River Dragon King.

Even with the current size of the Luochuan River Dragon King, compared to this Palace, he appears as tiny as a mouse compared to Human Race dwelling.

"Take your place and receive the legacy of the Dragon Mound Guardians of all generations!" The voice of the Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldier echoed, still deep and resonant, carrying a scorching aura.

However, this time, there was a hint of respect in Dragon Guard's voice; the Dragon Mound Guardian was his direct superior.

According to the rules of the Dragon Tomb, the Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldiers must obey the orders of their guardians.

If it were a normal cultivator, facing a superior whose cultivation level was much lower than their own, they would naturally not be respectful; it would be normal to outwardly comply but inwardly defy them.

However, the Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldiers are essentially Puppets; although they possess Wisdom, they cannot disobey the mission given to them by their creators.

One of his missions is to obey the Dragon Mound Guardian.

Guided by the Divine Sense of the Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldier, the Luochuan River Dragon King took flight and slowly flew towards the throne at the very front of the Palace.

Nine dragons coil around it, guarding the same Dragon Pearl.

That's the Inheritance Dragon Pearl.

Before Ascension or before falling, Dragon Mound Guardian would infuse their legacy, along with some or all of their Essence, into this Inheritance Dragon Pearl.

So that the next generation of Dragon Mound Guardians can grow up quickly and protect the Dragon Tomb and the Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Clan.

With each generation's accumulation and consumption, the Dragon Clan heritage within the Inheritance Dragon Pearl becomes increasingly exquisite and profound, while the Dragon Clan Essence stored within it fluctuates wildly.

Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Even at its lowest level, the Essence within the Inheritance Dragon Pearl is enough to propel the guardian to the Sage Manifestation Realm.

As for the current generation of the Luochuan River Dragon King, due to the Ascension of the previous generation's Dragon Mound Guardian to the Upper Realm, not much of his Essence remained.

However, with the Essence he had accumulated before, it was enough to support him in cultivating to the Peak Early Sage Manifestation Realm.

Extending his dragon claw, the Luochuan River Dragon King grasped the Inheritance Dragon Pearl with burning eyes.

In an instant, the resounding tones of bells echoed endlessly in his mind, and various Dragon Clan traditions transformed into ancient characters, flowing through the mind of the Luochuan River Dragon King.

Feeling the vast and magnificent legacy of the Dragon Clan, the enormous Dragon Body Luochuan River Dragon King coiled up, sat on the throne, and closed his eyes.
