Chapter Fourteen: Ancient Secrets from the Primordial Era (Part One)

Chen Yun slowly opened his eyes. After a brief moment of adjustment, he saw Old Ent squatting before him, his face haggard. "Grandpa! I...?" Chen Yun looked around in confusion and asked, "How did I end up here?"

When Old Ent saw that Chen Yun had finally regained consciousness, he let out a heavy sigh of relief and smiled faintly. "Hehe, don't worry about that for now. Check if anything still feels uncomfortable."

At his words, Chen Yun carefully sensed every part of his body. After a long while, his eyes flew open, filled with disbelief. "Grandpa, my body... What's going on? I feel like my body is completely different now. It feels incredibly strong!" Chen Yun said in shock.

Upon hearing this, Old Ent stroked his beard with one hand, his face brimming with delight. With a beaming smile, he said, "Little Chen! You lucky brat! Do you know that you're the famous Dragon Blood Warrior from the legends of antiquity?"

"Dragon Blood Warrior?" Chen Yun asked in confusion. Then a Giant Dragon over a hundred zhang long flashed through his mind.

"A dragon?" Chen Yun murmured involuntarily.

Seeing Chen Yun's bewildered expression, Old Ent smiled mysteriously. "I'll explain all this to you in detail in a few days. For now, you should get some proper rest. I'll go get you something to eat."

The moment Old Ent finished speaking, a strange sound came at just the right time. "Gurgle..." The grandfather and grandson immediately froze, staring wide-eyed at each other.

"Hahaha...!" Old Ent burst out laughing, while Chen Yun rubbed the back of his head and smiled awkwardly. "Hehe! Grandpa, you really picked the right time to say that! Hehe..."

Seeing this, Old Ent shook his head helplessly and rolled his eyes. "You've been unconscious for a month and a half. Of course you'd be hungry after waking up! Do you think you're a god?" With that, before Chen Yun could react, he strode out of the room, leaving behind a bewildered Chen Yun.

It was another beautiful and elegant morning. The mornings in the little village seemed to be forever so beautiful. From the distant mountain forest came the faint, rumbling sound of water.

Following the sound, the magnificent waterfall appeared before him once more. Beneath the largest waterfall in the center, a black shadow could be vaguely seen. Faint red light mixed with wisps of golden radiance emanated from that figure.

"Hah~!" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from beneath the waterfall. Then the enormous waterfall in the center abruptly halted in mid-surge, stopping above the head of a child of about six years old.

"Hah~!" came another loud shout. Accompanied by a powerful rumble, the upper and lower halves of the waterfall collided against all reason. In an instant, a curtain of rain formed around the pool. Then a figure radiating Fiery Red light shot out and came to a dead stop before an old man standing ramrod straight, his head covered in beard and hair.

That person was none other than Chen Yun. "Grandpa!" Chen Yun called out with a smile.

"Mm! Not bad. Your physical body has now stabilized at the fourth level, and your battle qi has barely reached the third level as well! Tsk, tsk..." Old Ent smiled in satisfaction. By the end, he still couldn't help praising him. Chen Yun habitually rubbed the back of his head and laughed foolishly.

Then Old Ent seemed to think of something. He beckoned to Chen Yun and went straight to sit on a huge rock beside the pool.

"Little Chen! It's time I told you some of what I know. After all, you possess the Dragon Blood lineage from the legends of antiquity!" At this, Old Ent gave Chen Yun a deep look.

"It was said that when the universe first began, four great heavenly beasts were born between heaven and earth: Azure Dragon, ＃＃＃, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Because Azure Dragon was formed first and absorbed the greatest amount of the universe's primordial energy, its strength was also the greatest. It was also said that Azure Dragon possessed a terrifying innate divine ability shared by the other three heavenly beasts, but I don't know what it was exactly."

"It was said that our War God Continent was merely a tiny plane in the vast universe. There were countless such spaces, while even higher planes included the God Realm, Beast God Realm, Netherworld, and others. As for whether there were any more, that wasn't something I could know. As long as the living beings of our War God Continent cultivated to the Venerable Rank, they could break through the shackles of space and enter one of those three realms. But even beings as powerful as those of the Venerable Rank were merely at the bottom there. War God-level experts were the true mainstay of those realms... I saw all this in the records of my Lineage. Even those records only contained a rough account, however, and weren't detailed..."

"Lineage?" Chen Yun interrupted Old Ent's words.

Seeing this, Old Ent knew he had let something slip. But after thinking for a moment, he let out a deep sigh. "I'll tell you everything about myself later. For now, let's finish what we were discussing."

At this, Old Ent looked straight into Chen Yun's eyes and slowly said, "The Dragon Blood Warriors are the descendants of Azure Dragon and a woman!"
