Samsara Stage! Minor Symbol Sect!

It's not over yet!

After the thousand-foot-long silver-white pillar of light appeared, a vast and boundless Life and Death Power surged forth, rapidly condensing in mid-air into a massive Life and Death Wheel that stretched for thousands of feet and was a blend of Black and White.

A faint, peculiar aura wafted out, a terrifying fluctuation approaching the cycle of Reincarnation!

Samsara Stage! Minor Symbol Sect! Success!

As the Life and Death Wheel slowly rotated, it lifted a tall, slender Human Race and leaped swiftly out of the pool. Beneath his body was a perfectly sculpted skeleton that radiated a purplish-gold luster, as smooth and lustrous as jade.

The bloodline pressure emanating from the purple-gold bones was so great that even the Yuan Qian Patriarch, who possessed Ancient Dragon Bone, had to bow slightly to express his respect.

Many elders at the Samsara Stage were even more distraught, each hunching over as they paid homage to the Purple-Gold Dragon Bone that had been dormant for millennia and had now been unearthed.

Only after the Human Race youth standing on the Life and Death Wheel slowly withdrew his bloodline majesty did the many Dragon Clan powerhouses present avoid such an embarrassing predicament.

"I never expected that you would gain the approval of the Holy Ancestor's will and obtain his Remains, the only Primeval Desolation Dragon Bone in our clan."

Watching Lin Dong slowly descend, Yuan Qian's emotions were truly complex.

All the super strong individuals in the clan who aspired to reach the pinnacle had entered the Burial Bone Hall in an attempt to obtain the perfect dragon bone inherited from the Six-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor. However, without exception, they were all severely humiliated by the Six-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor and driven out in disgrace.

It was only through firsthand experience that Yuan Qian knew just how strong and terrifying Lin Dong truly was.

Lin Dong smiled enigmatically after hearing this, but did not reply.

Haha, can you believe I actually got my Primeval Desolation Dragon Bone by living off a woman? If you had a super powerful wife, you could do it too!

"Patriarch Chief, this is the only primordial Primeval Desolation Dragon Bone that our clan currently possesses, and it is also the Remains of the Holy Ancestor. Its significance is truly immense."

"Young friend Lin Dong is a friend of my clan. We have no intention of harming him, but could you perhaps provide an Ancient Dragon Bone to replace the... within him?"

A Patriarch with white hair couldn't help but speak up. The people around him were all somewhat tempted after hearing this, as it was a win-win situation.

"Let's not bring this up again. You are all top experts of our clan and have all been to the Burial Bone Hall. You should understand that without the permission of the Holy Ancestor, young friend Lin Dong would not have been able to take the Primeval Desolation Dragon Bone out of the Burial Bone Hall."

"This is the choice of His Majesty the Holy Ancestor. Do you want to defy his will?"

Before the Patriarch could finish speaking, Yuan Qian abruptly interrupted him.

"Yes, I was being presumptuous."

Upon hearing this, the pale figure's eyes dimmed, and he silently retreated.

"Young friend, since you have obtained the Remains of the Holy Ancestor, you are now considered a member of my Dragon Clan, possessing half of our pure bloodline. Please accept this Dragon Totem."

Yuan Qian took out a golden Dragon Totem from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Dong.

"Thank you." Lin Dong nodded slightly.

Just like the crimson Dragon Totem possessed by the Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander General, the golden Dragon Totem bestowed upon Lin Dong by Yuan Qian is equivalent to the Dragon Clan officially recognizing his identity and placing him on the Dragon Clan's roster as a formal member, with a status equal to that of a true High-Level Dragon Clan.

Well, to put it simply, Lin Dong will have "dual race status" as both a human and a dragon.

Just as Yuan Qian, who had bestowed the Dragon Totem, was about to speak, his ears suddenly twitched, and he immediately fell silent, intently receiving something.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something else to announce."

"By order of Lord Qing Zhi and Yuan Guang, effective immediately, Lin Dong is hereby appointed as the Punishment Elder of our clan, wielding the Punishment Dragon Seal, and having the authority to administer punishments and trials to any guilty clan member."

After a long while, Yuan Qian suddenly looked at Lin Dong with a strange expression and said slowly.

"What? Appointing young friend Lin Dong as our clan's Punishment Elder? Isn't this a bit too frivolous?"

"Shut up, didn't you hear who gave the order?"

"The shared will of Lord Qing Zhi and Yuan Guang? Hmm, this..."

This bombshell news immediately shocked the Patriarch present, but despite their shock, they all remained strangely silent, clearly acknowledging this decision.

If the Six-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor was the pillar of the Dragon Clan in Ancient Era, then the two remaining powerful beings of the Dragon Clan Qing Zhi and Yuan Guang, who have undergone Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation, are the two pillars supporting the Dragon Clan today.

Azure Dragon King Qing Zhi and Yuan Guang are both top-tier powerhouses Dragon Clan survived the Ancient Great War, representing the last remaining ancient heritage.

The Grand Elder Yuan Guang's seniority is even greater than that of the Azure Dragon King.

The reason why the Dragon Clan was able to become the leader of the Four Overlord Clans of the Demon Region twofold: firstly, the profound foundation left by the Six-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor, and secondly, the Dragon Clan had two powerful beings who had Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation.

The other three Overlord Clan also possess ancient foundations that survived the Ancient Great War, but the Heavenly Demon Marten, Kunpeng, and Nine Phoenix Clan clans each only have one powerful being who Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation. The Dragon Clan, on the other hand, has the Azure Dragon King as a variable, which allows it to overpower the other three clans.

Now that the two pillars of the Dragon Clan who suppress the clan's destiny have spoken together, declaring that Lin Dong will be appointed as the Dragon Clan's Punishment Elder, all the other elders in the Samsara Stage who are traveling outside can only listen respectfully and then immediately carry out their orders diligently.

So why would Yuan Guang join Qing Zhi in "acting up"?

Naturally, it was Qing Zhi, after selling the "fallacious theory" that "Lin Dong is the Symbol Ancestor chosen by him" to Mo Luo, also sold it to Yuan Guang.

After much deliberation, Yuan Guang decided to use one of his punishment positions to bet on Lin Dong as an investment.

If Lin Dong truly achieves the Ancestor Stage in the future, then the Dragon Clan will rise from one peak to another, gaining a more illustrious status than when the Six-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor was in power.

If Lin Dong fails to break through to the Ancestor Stage in the future, it won't be a big deal; he'll just end up as a Punishment Elder.

Not only can they legitimately keep the Primeval Desolation Dragon Bone within the clan, but they also gain a free laborer—a young powerhouse at the Samsara Stage and the Minor Symbol Sect, who is at least expected to reach the Reincarnation Stage Realm in the future.

Therefore, Yuan Guang and Qing Zhi joined forces to issue such an "absurd" order.

However, to be fair, Qing Zhi was truly exceptional in his treatment of Lin Dong, his Direct Disciple.

Not only did he tell everyone he met that "Lin Dong is the Symbol Ancestor" and spare no effort in winning him over and building his reputation, but he also devoted himself to cultivating Lin Dong, giving him whatever he wanted: passing on cultivation techniques, sending him Dan River medicinal herb), gifting him dragon bones, and securing him a spot to enter the pool...

In Qing Zhi's view, Lin Dong truly has the potential to step into the Ancestor Stage. If he, the Azure Dragon King, cannot become the "next Ancestral Symbol Ancestor," then can't he become the teacher of the "next Ancestral Symbol Ancestor"?

That's right, Qing Zhi is just that clever!
