Dragon King's Legacy

Outside the Hall of Heritage!

The five elders of the Golden Dragon Clan stood outside the Hall of Inheritance, their faces icy cold and expressionless.

The Dragon King led the Little Dragon past the five elders and directly entered the Hall of Inheritance, without the five elders of the Golden Dragon Clan stopping them.

The Dragon King frowned slightly. He had known this day would come, after all, Huang Yan and his son still had a great influence in the Golden Dragon Clan.

"Little Dragon, stay here and don't leave. I want to see if these guys will make their move sooner or later, and if they will come to the Hall of Inheritance during the Dragon King!" The Dragon King's face was somewhat gloomy.

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon said indifferently, "Hehe, who are they to dare to do this? But there's no need to bother with them. Anyway, once the inheritance begins, this Inheritance Hall will be independent of the outside world, and they won't be able to disturb us!"

The Dragon King smiled, glanced at the five elders outside with cold faces, and said, "Little Dragon, it seems you still need to hone your skills. The Golden Dragon Clan holds an important position within our dragon race. These five old fellows are elders within the Golden Dragon Clan, and their status within the Golden Dragon Clan is far beyond your imagination! Therefore, appeasing them is my duty. Remember, the Dragon King's responsibility is to maintain peace among the various dragon clans, and when necessary, even resort to violence. The Dragon Pearl has granted us this power!"

At this point, the Dragon King's expression turned somewhat cold. He was one of the more peaceful kings of all time, and in all these years, he had never used the Dragon Pearl to deal with members of the Dragon Clan. His mentor, the previous Dragon King, had killed many important figures from several major Dragon Clans. This time, he had originally intended to attack Huang Yan, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xingfeng had taken care of him first.

"Remember, even if you don't have the bloodline of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon in this Hall of Inheritance, you will still be subject to the restrictions and attacks!" the Dragon King said.

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon exclaimed with delight, "Ah, this Hall of Inheritance seems incredibly powerful! It's normally protected by restrictions. During the inheritance process, it even forms an independent space. Ah, who built this Hall of Inheritance? How can it be so amazing?"

A hint of admiration appeared on the Dragon King's face as he said, "This Hall of Inheritance was created by a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon ancestor who broke through to the Heavenly Venerable realm of the Divine Realm. The Dragon Pearl is a top-tier Saint Artifact he crafted. It is precisely because of his contribution that our Dragon Clan has been able to maintain its long-lasting prosperity. Otherwise, Five-Clawed Divine Dragon without the Dragon Pearl would not be able to intimidate the other dragon clans!"

Little Dragon immediately roared, "Roar! I will definitely break through to the Divine Realm Venerable Realm and become a master like my predecessors!"

The Dragon King smiled and slowly walked towards the outside of the Hall of Inheritance, saying, "Little Dragon, you are not strong enough now. You are no match for these five guys. Don't come out. They have neither the strength nor the qualifications to enter the Hall of Inheritance!"

"Five Elders, why are you here at this time? You should know that the Dragon King is the most important thing for our Dragon Clan. Disturbing the Dragon King is a capital offense!" the Dragon King said calmly.

The leader of the five elders stepped forward, glanced at the Dragon King, bowed slightly respectfully, and said, "The Dragon King should also know that our Golden Dragon Clan holds a gathering every so often. This time, our leader, the Grand Elder, did not appear, nor did his son, Huang Yang. This has greatly shocked us!"

A smile crept across the Dragon King's lips, "Yes, I know that. The gathering of the major dragon clans seems to happen only once every ten thousand years, and it is indeed very important. It's impossible for me not to attend. Even if I couldn't attend, I would have informed you five elders. Hehe... But if they're gone, why are you looking for me?"

The leader coldly declared, "Because we discovered that the life pearl corresponding to Huang Yang within our Golden Dragon Clan has shattered, which means he has vanished from the body! Huang Yang was the Golden Dragon Clan's designated next leader, a fact known to all the dragon clans. Now that he is dead, and our clan leader Huang Yan is also missing, although his life pearl is still intact, why has he disappeared? We demand an explanation from the Dragon King!"

As a proud Golden Dragon, speaking in this way is already quite polite, and this is only because of the Dragon King's own status!

The Dragon King's face was cold as he said in a chilling voice, "Hmph! Give you an explanation? Before the Little Dragon King's Dragon King, the leaders of all the major dragon planets came to offer their congratulations, but Huang Yan and his son were the only ones who didn't show up. That's one thing, but today, for such an important event as the Dragon King ceremony, you are standing outside the Dragon King's Inheritance Hall. You should know what a grave crime it is to disturb the Dragon King. Here, I have the right to kill all five of you directly. But now, I won't punish you. Get out of here!"

The leader of the five elders remained unperturbed and continued, "The Dragon King knows that the Hall of Inheritance is not something we can easily enter, so we cannot disturb the Dragon King. The blame for disturbing the Dragon King will not fall on our heads. We five old fogies are not trying to do anything, we just want the Dragon King to give us an answer: what happened to our clan leader? Since he is not dead, why haven't we received any news from him? Moreover, our leader is now the second strongest in the Dragon Clan. Even in the White Tiger Clan, only that Grand Elder can deal with him!"

"But... but Dragon King must understand one thing! Capturing my clan leader Huang Yan without killing him is far more difficult than killing him outright. Even the Great Elder of the White Tiger Clan doesn't have that power! Looking across the entire Realm of Divine Beasts, only you, Dragon King, have that power!"

The five elders stared intently at the Dragon King, their eyes gleaming.

"What do you mean? Do you suspect that I've bound Huang Yan somewhere?" The Dragon King smiled faintly, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The five elders fell silent, and for a moment, the atmosphere outside the Dragon King of Inheritance was extremely oppressive.

The five elders' silence implied that the Dragon King was dealing with Huang Yan. However, the Dragon King was quite frustrated, as he hadn't actually attacked Huang Yan this time. Nevertheless, the Dragon King could only speak according to the agreement he had made with Zhang Xingfeng.

"Alright, let me tell you, Huang Yan left here a few days ago. It seems his son, Ha Yang, was already dead at that time. According to Huang Yan, he was killed by the White Tiger Clan's ultimate technique— Sky Rain Flash. Huang Yan was very angry and told me he was going to hunt down the murderer, and we haven't heard from him since," the Dragon King said calmly.

The five elders exchanged glances and communicated their judgments telepathically.

The leader suddenly said to the Dragon King, "Dragon King, only Dragon King alone have the ability to trap our clan leader and suppress his power, preventing him from sending any information. However, the White Tiger Clan's patriarch and Great Elder, working together, also possess this capability. Alright, for now, let's believe the Dragon King's words and confirm everything after some time!"

"Go!" At the leader's command, the five old men left one by one.

The Dragon King smiled slightly and walked back into the Hall of Inheritance.

"Little Dragon, get ready, the Dragon King will begin soon!"

Zhang Xingfeng's residence.

"Yu Yan, today is the Dragon King's inheritance ceremony. Tomorrow we'll leave the Dragon Clan and return to Lian Shui Pavilion!" Zhang Xingfeng whispered to Yu Yan, who was nestled in his arms.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yan was pleasantly surprised. She looked up at Zhang Xingfeng from the sea and asked, "Really? Brother Feng, can we really go back?" Yu Yan really liked the scenery of the Lian Shui Pavilion. She had been away from the Lian Shui Pavilion for so long and had always wanted to go back.

Zhang Xingfeng took a sip of Qingyuan Flame Wine and laughed, "Hehe, that Dragon King is going too far. He's been asking me for drinks all this time. He drank three out of my ten jars of Qingyuan Flame Wine. Sigh, I only have one jar left now, it's time to go back!"

"So, you actually want to drink!" Yu Yan smiled slightly, then asked Zhang Xingfeng, "Brother Feng, we've been in this Realm of Divine Beasts for so long, when are we going to find Sister Rou? And how exactly are we going to find her?"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled and looked down at Yu Yan, saying, "Hehe, I'm already very confident, so don't worry."

"Tell me, what's the solution?" Yu Yan immediately got up from Zhang Xingfeng's arms, sat up straight, and looked at Zhang Xingfeng as she asked.

Zhang Xingfeng laughed and said, "Yu Yan, let me tell you first. In this Realm of Divine Beasts and Spirit Realm, only the Vermilion Bird Clan can forge divine artifacts, and the place where divine artifacts are forged is the Vermilion Bird royal family— the Phoenix! Phoenix hold a revered position in the Vermilion Bird Clan and are extremely rare. Although they are not as rare as the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon, there are only a few dozen Phoenix in the entire Vermillion Bird Clan! And to forge a divine artifact, one must be able to reach the realm of emitting an inextinguishable flame, and among the dozens of Phoenix, only a few can emit an inextinguishable flame!"

Yu Yan asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Brother Feng, aren't we looking for Sister Rou? How does this have anything to do with Phoenix?"

Zhang Xingfeng said confidently, "The Spirit Realm is infinitely vast. Finding a person is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. As the saying goes, 'A skilled craftsman must first sharpen his tools!' I've decided to first establish good relations with all the major powers in the Spirit Realm, and then get them to take action. Wouldn't that be much easier for us?"

"How can we let those super powerful people help us find people?" Yu Yan asked in confusion.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled and said, "This is related to the Phoenix and the others I mentioned. They are the only ones in the entire Spirit Realm and Realm of Divine Beasts who can forge divine artifacts. There are no Ancient God Forbidden Zone here similar to the Cultivation World, so the only way to forge divine artifacts here is through forging. Therefore, I have decided... to compete with them for business!"

Yu Yan immediately asked excitedly, "Brother Feng, do you mean... give those powerful forces the artifacts, and then ask them to find people?"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly and said to Yu Yan, "It seems you still don't understand. I'm not giving them divine artifacts; I'm selling them. Divine artifacts are very precious here. In the eyes of those powerful forces, someone like me who can sell divine artifacts is definitely worth befriending. If I ask them to find someone, would they have any objections? Moreover, as long as I lower the price slightly when selling to those powerful forces, they will be even more grateful, and finding someone will be much easier. If that still doesn't work, then I have a trump card!" Zhang Xingfeng smiled, clearly confident.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yan nodded repeatedly, excitedly saying, "Brother Feng, this plan is really good! It will definitely succeed!" Suddenly Yu Yan frowned and said, "But Brother Feng, how many divine artifacts do you have with you right now? Is it enough?"

Zhang Xingfeng chuckled, "Hehe, my speed in forging divine artifacts is absolutely fast. Now that my strength has increased, I can forge one artifact a day without any problem, and I can forge six or seven divine artifacts at a time. It is said that the Vermillion Bird Clan finds it much more difficult to forge divine artifacts than I do. They control the entire process themselves, while I control the Qi Cauldron. It is said that forging each divine artifact takes a thousand years because every step must be done correctly! They can only proceed with extreme caution."

Zhang Xingfeng was always very proud, just like when he was refining the Nine-turn Golden Elixir. The Azure Emperor had also tried to refine it back then. Because the process of refining the Nine-turn Golden Elixir required constant adjustment of the heat and constant control of the ingredient ratios, it required countless adjustments. Even the Azure Emperor spent ten thousand years! This was because the Azure Emperor adjusted it almost every second, which was already very fast. But the Qi Cauldron was different. The Qi Cauldron could even automatically adjust a million times in one second.

The same principle applies to forging divine artifacts. Look at those blacksmiths; they have to forge steel through countless hammerings before it becomes steel, let alone divine artifacts! Zhang Xingfeng is lucky to have obtained the "God Forging True Manual" and the "Immortal Forging Art." If it weren't for these, how could he have forged a divine artifact so quickly?

The Vermillion Bird Clan sells divine artifacts only once every ten thousand years, and only about ten of them.

Zhang Xingfeng can refine more than a hundred items a month using his Qi Cauldron. With such efficiency, there is no doubt that he can compete with the Vermillion Bird Clan.

Inside the Hall of Inheritance!

"Little Dragon, you have now fused the Dragon Pearl with yourself. You need time to consolidate it. With the bloodline of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon, you can fully unleash the power of this top-tier sacred artifact. However, all of this can only be done after you have fully consolidated it. You do not have that strength yet!" The Dragon King's face was slightly pale. Oh, he can no longer be called the Dragon King. He can only be called the guide of the new Dragon King, Little Dragon!

Since the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon are generally not father and son, their relationship is simply that of a guide and the one being guided!

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon immediately became anxious and said, "Ah, I can't perform yet, so when will I be able to?"

The Dragon King smiled and said, "No rush. In about a month, you will be able to fully consolidate your power. At that time, you will be able to fully unleash the power of the top-tier Saint Artifact, making you the number one expert of the Dragon Clan. This is why every Dragon King is destined to be the number one expert of the Dragon Clan!"

"The number one expert of the Dragon Clan—isn't that even more powerful than Mid-grade Divine Human? Hehe, I'll finally catch up to my second brother for once!" The Little Dragon laughed triumphantly.
