Following Your Will
"Hehe, the piece of dragon bone that Lord Qing Zhi shed is indeed Brother Lin Dong."
Feeling the pure pressure emanating from the Azure Dragon Bone, the middle-aged man named Duan Tao smiled even more brightly. He and his two companions were all experts at the first level of the Samsara Stage.
"Brother Duan Tao."
The Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander, standing behind Lin Dong, couldn't help but speak up.
"Hey, Tian Long? It's you! What are you doing here?"
Duan Tao shifted his gaze and seemed to finally notice the other person.
"... Oh shit!!"
Having suffered a devastating blow, the Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Currently, Lord Lin Dong is staying at Thunder Abyss Mountain in the Beast War Domain, and is an ally of my Blood Dragon Hall, so..."
"I was just planning to travel to the Dragon Clan, and I heard that the Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander is also a member of the Dragon Clan, so I asked him to guide me."
Lin Dong picked up the conversation, and the Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander gave him a very grateful look.
For someone like him, an outsider of the clan, if he returns to the Ancestral Land without reporting important matters or being summoned by the clan, he will be severely reprimanded by the clan's higher-ups.
"Oh, is that so? In that case, let's go together."
Duan Tao nodded thoughtfully, then guided Lin Dong and the other to head towards the true core area of Dragon Domain.
Beyond the seemingly endless Great Void Divine Array, the world within is even more awe-inspiring.
The concentration of Yuan energy was so dense it was almost viscous; majestic mountain ranges stretched out like giant dragons; a vast forest composed of countless ancient trees, each ten thousand feet tall; the mighty Xuan Yuan Dan Dan Rivers connecting the void; numerous enormous figures frolicking and playing in the Dan Dan Rivers; and the ancient Senluo Palace rising abruptly from the ground...
A magnificent, epic scene unfolds, leaving one in awe of the ancient heritage of the Dragon Clan, truly befitting its status as an ancient and Overlord Clan that has been passed down since the Primeval Desolation era.
On the square in front of an Ancient Hall.
A dozen or so figures with obscure auras were quietly waiting for something. These were all super strong people who had reached the Samsara Stage for many years, but in terms of their power, they were not as strong as the Linen-clad Middle-aged Man who was in the lead.
"Great Elder, they've arrived."
The Linen-clad Middle-aged Man, who was talking with an elderly man with white hair and beard, looked up as if he sensed something and saw five figures appear on the distant horizon.
"Junior Lin Dong greets Patriarch Yuan Qian!"
Upon landing, Lin Dong respectfully greeted the tall, Linen-clad Middle-aged Man in hemp clothing. The man's extremely subtle aura far surpassed that of Mo Luo, who was at the peak of the Samsara Stage, indicating that he was a Great Master who had already stepped into the Reincarnation Stage.
The Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander, who was lagging behind, was even more excited, as if he had seen a sacred figure in his heart. His face was flushed with excitement, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. His eyes were fixed on this super being who ruled the dragon Dragon Clan, and he was even more excited than Lin Dong.
"Who is this guy? Is he out of his mind?"
Yuan Qian gave Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander an awkward yet polite smile without changing his expression, but the latter, misunderstanding the meaning, became even more excited.
The Patriarch chief smiled at me, the Patriarch chief smiled at me, the Patriarch chief smiled at me...
"After receiving Lord Qing Zhi's message, I have been keeping an eye on Young Friend Lin Dong ever since he settled in my Demon Domain. Who knew that he would only now be visiting my Dragon Clan. If you hadn't come soon, I would have had to send someone to the Beast War Domain to invite you."
Yuan Qian smiled and helped Lin Dong up.
"The teacher said there's a problem with the Demon Suppressing Prison, which is guarded by the Dragon Clan?"
Lin Dong smiled and got straight to the point.
"Since Lord Qing Zhi has told you everything, I will not hide anything from you, young friend. Back then, when I was breaking through to the Reincarnation Stage, I used the power of the Dragon Vein in the Ancestral Land. Although I succeeded in breaking through to the Reincarnation Stage, it also created some loopholes in the sealing Demon Suppressing Prison Formation."
"Young friend, you wield the Three Great Ancestral Symbols; you must Sense Stage something, right?"
Yuan Qian's smile gradually faded, replaced by a solemn expression.
Speaking of which, the Dragon Clan is also unlucky and tragic.
Although the Ancestral Land contains thousands of dragon Dragon Vein, providing opportunities for the clan's top experts to cultivate or advance to higher realms, not a single one can be touched in order to seal the Demon Suppressing Prison. Touching them would lead to disaster, and Yuan Qian is a prime example.
When the Symbol Ancestor chose the Dragon Clan as one of the Three Great Demon Suppressing Prisons, it was because he valued the Dragon Clan's ancient heritage. There was no other way; with great power comes great responsibility.
"Even the core area of the Dragon Clan is seeping out with Demonic Qi. It seems we're in serious trouble."
Lin Dong lowered his head. Beneath his feet, in a place invisible to the naked eye, wisps of Demonic Qi seeped out from the ground and rose into the air.
This is still the core area where the Dragon Clan has many Dragon Vein to suppress it; if it were the outer Clan Territory, the situation would probably be even more serious.
"Yes, even if I ask some of the Grand Elder in the clan to help, they are helpless against this Alien Demonic Qi and the Demon Suppressing Prison. They have to ask the wielder of the Ancestral Symbol or the master of a specific Ancient Divine Object to take action."
Yuan Qian nodded sadly.
"If I remember correctly, the Demon Suppressing Prison of the Dragon Clan should be guarded by the Master of Darkness, one of the Eight Ancient Masters. As long as we delve into the Demon Suppressing Prison, awaken the Master of Darkness, and ask this ancient being to clean up the mess."
Lin Dong thought for a moment and then said.
"Do you think we haven't tried it, young friend? As long as the strong members of our clan go deep underground and get close to the Demon Suppressing Prison, the Demonic Qi will go crazy and repel us."
Beside Yuan Qian, an elderly figure with white hair smiled bitterly.
"It's alright, let my Ancestral Symbol Spirit go through it. The Ancestral Symbol is the nemesis of Alien Demonic Qi, and the Demonic Qi underground can't do anything to it."
Lin Dong rubbed his two fingers together and casually snapped them.
"Bah!"
With a clear and melodious phoenix cry that resounded through the heavens and earth, an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, a thousand feet long and covered in black feathers, materialized behind Lin Dong and spread its wings.
Its body was enormous, with Cloud-hanging Wings, blotting out the sky and sun. Tiny vortexes and black holes were attached to its wings, as if they could devour all the light in the world. As soon as it appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the world.
"Is this the Ancestral Symbol Spirit Devouring Ancestral Symbol?"
"I never expected that young friend Lin Dong has mastered the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to such an extent. Before even entering the Reincarnation Realm, he was already able to summon the Ancestral Symbol Spirit to fight for him."
"Qing Zhi's disciple is indeed excessively outstanding."
The Patriarch had incredibly sharp eyesight and recognized his origins in just a few words.
"Heavenly Phoenix, please go to the Demon Suppressing Prison underground for me."
Lin Dong crossed his arms and smiled as he stroked the black feathers.
"My master, I will obey your will."
The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix lowered its head respectfully, then with a sudden flap of its wings, its sky-covering form merged into the ground like water, heading straight for the depths of the earth thousands of feet below.
"Using the Ancestral Symbol Spirit to send a message is a good method, and it is not afraid of the invasion of the Demonic Qi in the sky."
At this moment, Yuan Qian couldn't help but praise it.
Lin Dong waved his hand and immediately closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
He had just attached a wisp of his thought to the feather of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, so that his will could follow that fellow's thoughts and descend into the body of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
