"...It shouldn't take much time. We're all powerful beings, so arriving in an instant shouldn't be a problem. But that Ye Tian just now actually used the Ruyi Jingu Bang as a medium for flight..."
Just as the Progenitor Dragon was speaking, a streak of light flashed through the distant void, carrying a storm with it as it shot straight to the center of the lecturing platform before leaping down.
With an air of dashing ease, he landed lightly in front of the backs of the Dragon Clan's sons and descendants.
He raised a hand and beckoned. The Ruyi Jingu Bang shrank and flew over, sinking into his body and vanishing without a trace.
Ye Tian's astonishingly dashing maneuver left every Dragon Clan son and descendant present completely dumbfounded.
They weren't fools. They naturally knew that the Dragon Clan had appointed a Chosen One to come and attend the sermon. Unlike them, however, this Chosen One would also undergo Candle Dragon's trial.
They had assumed that the trial would last at least one or two shichen—in other words, two to four hours.
They had never expected that, in less than a minute, he would already be here?!
Such speed truly stunned the Dragon Clan's sons and descendants.
At the same time, it made them understand even more clearly that this Chosen One was indeed completely different from the other Chosen Ones.
That was because these Dragon Clan sons and descendants could clearly sense that the pressure radiating from the young man standing before them was so overwhelming that they found it somewhat difficult to breathe!
One had to know that such powerful pressure would normally appear only during a great battle, or when facing the Four Seas Dragon Kings.
Yet now, it had appeared on a young man alone. This meant that the other party's strength completely surpassed theirs!
At the same time, the Progenitor Dragon looked at Ye Tian and nodded in satisfaction. At a glance, he could tell how powerful the force contained within Ye Tian was, as well as the nature of the Phoenix Clan bloodline fused into him.
There was no denying that this Chosen One was indeed a fine prospect.
After all, the Ruyi Jingu Bang was not something just anyone could control. Yet this Chosen One before him had handled it with ease, and what that represented was self-evident.
"Let the sermon begin."
He spoke calmly. Then his figure flickered, and under the shroud of Black Mist, he transformed from his enormous form into a man wearing a black-and-gold imperial robe.
His eyes gleamed with brilliance, and his face carried an immense majesty that surpassed all others. His imposing figure made him look exactly like a true emperor of the mortal world!
According to legends passed down in later generations, some had claimed that after the Progenitor Dragon fell, he reincarnated as Qin Shi Huang, becoming the Millennial Emperor.
Moreover... when Ye Tian looked at the other party's face, he secretly nodded.
That was because the other party's appearance was exactly the same as that of Qin Shi Huang, the Millennial Emperor of later generations!
However, at that moment, none of them said anything. After the Ten Great Divine Dragons had all transformed into human forms, the Progenitor Dragon sat cross-legged in the void and slowly closed his eyes. One grand Dao sound after another began to flow slowly from his mouth.
"I was born from Chaos, and thus belong to the Chaos Divine Beasts."
"However, there are three thousand great Dao paths, and Heaven derives forty-nine. Everyone's Dao Method is different. Still, the Dao Methods of this chaotic void can help you better understand the core and original form of the Dao Methods, making it easier for you to understand and improve your comprehension..."
"Before Heaven and Earth were formed, the void was shrouded in Chaos. There were no stars, no worlds, and not even the existence of the void... There was only one word: Chaos..."
"However..."
As the Dao sounds emerged, profound insights into the Dao also radiated from the Progenitor Dragon. His incomparably grand voice caused every Dragon Clan son and descendant to fall silent as they began to comprehend, gain insight, and cultivate without pause.
Yet in the next moment, everyone—including Candle Dragon and the other Ten Great Divine Dragons—had their expressions change completely!
That was because, as the Progenitor Dragon continued expounding the Dao, they discovered that a layer of golden light had suddenly appeared around Ye Tian!
Furthermore, a halo of merit began rotating behind him. Under the radiance of the golden light, countless energies started converging from the void, forming above his head a—
Golden dragon!
