After the two became brothers, Long Feng told Meng Zhao that a union with a pure-blooded Dragon Clan woman might allow his bloodline to be inherited.

• Meng Zhao sensed that Long Feng was plotting something and refused, citing his existing concubines and fiancée.
• Meng Zhao thought he could enter Dragon Clan territory himself, abduct a woman if necessary, and win her over without Long Feng’s help.

After Meng Zhao rejected Long Feng’s offer of his concubines and left the Crystal Palace, Long Feng worried over how to secure Meng Zhao’s bloodline for the Dragon Clan. A favored concubine advised him that Ao Bing’s purity and beauty might appeal to Meng Zhao, leaving Long Feng reluctant to offer her because he wanted Ao Bing for himself.

• The concubine explained that Meng Zhao’s Human Clan values made him unlike Dragon Clan men and that he might prefer a chaste woman such as Ao Bing.
• The concubine urged Long Feng to offer Ao Bing to Meng Zhao, but Long Feng objected because he wanted Ao Bing as his future wife.

Long Feng weighed the possibility of using Ao Bing to obtain Meng Zhao’s powerful bloodline through their offspring, despite his feelings for her. He remained hesitant over whether Ao Bing would stay with him, while the woman in his arms argued that the benefits outweighed the risks.

• Long Feng worried that Ao Bing might leave to join Meng Zhao if she bore his child.
• The woman argued that Ao Bing would be unlikely to pursue Meng Zhao and that her Jade Dragon body could refine and strengthen their offspring’s bloodline.

Long Feng considered using Ao Bing to secure powerful dragon offspring with Meng Zhao, but hesitated because Ao Bing’s protector, Ao Qing, made her dangerous to abduct. His companion proposed luring Ao Bing to meet Meng Zhao through her ambition to improve her bloodline, then taking her by force if needed.

• Long Feng recognized that Ao Bing’s jade dragon body could improve the chance of producing powerful offspring with Meng Zhao, but feared the consequences of opposing her and Ao Qing.

Meng Zhao met Ao Bing, a young Jade Dragon with extraordinary bloodline and martial talent, at Long Feng’s invitation. Ao Bing sensed a sacred, commanding quality in Meng Zhao’s bloodline that resembled the Dragon Clan’s highest bloodline suppression, but its source remained unexplained.

• Meng Zhao returned to Sifang City and secluded himself to absorb what he had gained from Long Feng.
• Lord Bei worked with Zhou Jiankang and the three great families to address Long Feng’s threat, while the city’s purge drove out, arrested, and killed people suspected of ulterior motives.
• A week later, Long Feng invited Meng Zhao to the Crystal Palace, claiming he would introduce him to a talented Dragon Clan martial artist.
• Long Feng introduced Ao Bing, a young Jade Dragon Grandmaster, and asked Meng Zhao to guide her.
• Ao Bing sensed overwhelming sacredness and authority in Meng Zhao’s bloodline and wondered how it could resemble the Dragon Clan’s hierarchical bloodline suppression.

Ao Bing recognized that Meng Zhao’s Dragon Body bloodline might rival or belong to the Primordial Two Dragons, and suspected Long Feng had brought her to meet him for reasons beyond concern for her cultivation. She greeted Meng Zhao and hoped to learn from his Martial Dao, which she believed could help her transcend the limits of bloodline.

• Ao Bing sensed the extraordinary nature of Meng Zhao’s bloodline and wondered whether it could eventually command the Dragon Clan.

• Ao Bing and Long Feng speculated that Meng Zhao’s abilities came from an unknown dragon lineage that might rank above ordinary True Dragons.

Ao Bing explained the Dragon Clan’s methods for developing and applying bloodlines, helping Meng Zhao recognize how much of his Purple Origin Dragon Body’s potential remained untapped. He left with new inspiration and a clearer understanding that he had the qualifications—not yet the achievement—of an Emperor Dragon Body.

• Ao Bing sincerely explained Dragon Body bloodlines and the Dragon Clan’s methods for tempering and using them.
• Meng Zhao concluded that his Purple Origin Dragon Body had not become a true Emperor Dragon Body, which required him to reach the Supreme Realm and refine it into his Dao Fruit.
• Meng Zhao recognized that his rough, instinctive bloodline cultivation had left many abilities undeveloped, even as his focus on martial arts had made him a Great Grandmaster.
• Ao Bing’s systematic knowledge sparked new ideas in Meng Zhao, who realized that his bloodline remained a vast treasure waiting to be explored.

Ao Bing and Long Feng told Meng Zhao about the Ancestor Dragon Stone Statue, a Dragon Clan relic said to contain Ying Zheng’s legacy and power. After learning that its recognition seemed unpredictable, Meng Zhao considered what qualities might truly earn its gifts.

• Ao Bing revealed that the Ancestor Dragon Stone Statue could grant cultivation inheritances, treasures, and Ancestor Dragon Essence Blood, and suggested Meng Zhao might awaken it because of his bloodline.
• Long Feng explained that the statue contained a Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm and could unleash devastating power, but the Dragon Clan had never dared to study it directly.
• Meng Zhao wondered whether controlling the statue would let him inherit part of Ying Zheng’s legacy.
• Ao Bing and Long Feng admitted they had gained no benefits from the statue and said its recognition did not follow any clear rules of bloodline purity.
• Meng Zhao reasoned that Ying Zheng might have left the statue to support those who could shape the Dragon Clan’s future, perhaps a Celestial or someone with the bearing of Gods and Devils.

Meng Zhao learned that Dragon Clan members who received gifts from the Ancestor Dragon Stone Statue were often persecuted by their own clansmen, though a few escaped and reached the Divine Demon Realm. He also heard about the Ancestral Dragon's three thousand Terracotta Warriors and wondered how they had been made.

• Long Feng described the Ancestral Dragon's three thousand regenerating Terracotta Warriors, whose attacks could kill even Gods and Devils, and Meng Zhao wondered how they had been forged.

Meng Zhao learned more about the Dragon Clan’s Terracotta Warriors and ancestral treasures before leaving to return to Sifang City and develop his bloodline. Afterward, Ao Bing confronted Long Feng about his motives, and they agreed that Meng Zhao’s bloodline offered them a chance to strengthen their own and was a reason to keep close to him.

• Long Feng explained that the Dragon Clan elders had hidden the Terracotta Warriors because they feared the warriors could bring calamity, and Ao Bing said a million linked warriors could devastate nations and slay Gods and Devils.
• Meng Zhao left for Sifang City, intending to cultivate his bloodline power as Ao Bing had instructed.
• Ao Bing asked Long Feng what he was plotting against Meng Zhao, and Long Feng accused her of revealing the Ancestor Dragon Stone Statue to him.
• Long Feng admitted he had revealed the Terracotta Warriors to reassure Meng Zhao and build a relationship because he coveted the power in Meng Zhao’s bloodline.
• Ao Bing argued that Meng Zhao’s bloodline could help them purify and strengthen their own, so they should remain on good terms with him and might someday obtain his essence blood.
• Ao Bing explained that Dragon Clan bloodlines could be stimulated to evolve through carefully managed exposure to a stronger foreign bloodline.

Long Feng explained that he wanted to use Ao Bing to investigate Meng Zhao's bloodline suppression, while Ao Bing defended Meng Zhao and reflected on his appeal to her. Long Feng encouraged her to visit Sifang City before Meng Zhao returned to the Divine Land.

• Meng Zhao returned to his secluded courtyard and spent three days studying his Blood Qi and bloodline divine abilities.
• After leaving seclusion, Meng Zhao summoned thousands of snakes and pythons, which gathered and bowed to him.
• Meng Zhao transformed a small white snake into a hundred-meter python nearing Dragon Transformation, then restored it and strengthened its bloodline.
• Meng Zhao concluded that his bloodline could let him raise and command dragons, and recognized his Beast Taming Divine Ability as a union of bloodline power and secret incantations.
• Meng Zhao reflected that his bloodline abilities could naturally suppress Dragon Clan members and decided to keep that trump card hidden.

• Meng Zhao decided to investigate the battle, and Zhao Rulíng followed as the three flew toward it.

Meng Zhao, Lord Bei, and Zhao Rulíng arrived to confront two Blazing Sun Divine Clan Celestials who had cornered Long Feng and threatened Ao Bing. After Ao Bing warned Meng Zhao about Long Feng’s betrayal, the three prepared to face both the enemy and the danger Long Feng might pose.
