Zhang Dexiao Was Asking for a Beating

I've been craving this for so long.

"Father, I'm the one who trusts you the most in the Lineage. Before you came back..."

I'm absolutely certain you'll be fine, and you'll definitely get your hands on the True Dragon Essence Blood!

Dad, am I right?

With the Divine Dragon Tyrant Body, my body can become incredibly strong!

That way, we can have more children for the Zhang Family sooner, and you can hold your grandchildren in your arms!

Hehehe!

As he spoke, Zhang Dexiao revealed a slightly lewd smile, holding a porcelain bottle that had been prepared beforehand.

An image of a stunningly beautiful girl in a pristine white dress, with a quirky and mischievous charm, involuntarily appeared in my mind.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen raised an eyebrow.

Which girl has he taken a fancy to?

However, he had just returned, and instead of offering words of concern, he actually asked for the True Dragon Essence Blood!

That really fits your persona, Zhang Dexiao!

Immediately, the guilt in my heart was completely washed away by Zhang Dexiao's words!

He raised his hand and slapped Zhang Dexiao on the head.

"Ouch, Dad, why did you hit me?"

"Hmph! You still have the nerve to say that!"

"Your father has been away from the clan for over ten years, and now that I've just returned, you haven't even said a word of concern, but instead want the True Dragon Essence Blood from me?"

Zhang Dexiao rubbed his forehead and looked up, saying:

Oh dear, I thought it was something else entirely.

Father, why bother with such details?

Don't you know how much I care for and trust you?

I've believed in you since I was a kid!

I believe in my father's abilities; I'm sure he'll be safe and sound.

Now I'm not worried at all...

"..."

Zhang Xuanchen's lips twitched, and he raised his hand, kicking him in the butt!

No! Get lost!

Zhang Dexiao was kicked flying, tumbling several times in mid-air before regaining his balance. "Father, the matter of the Essence Blood can still be discussed..."

Looking at the scene before him, Zhang Guangyao quipped:

"De Xiao, that kid, hasn't lost any of his cultivation or his shamelessness over the years."

Her personality is still the same as when she was a child.

The other elders also burst into laughter.

With Zhang Xuanchen's return, they felt as if they had found their pillar of support, and their pent-up emotions of many years were finally released.

Zhang Deling stepped forward and hugged Zhang Xuanchen with open arms.

He smiled broadly and said:

"Father, you're finally back! Ling'er missed you so much."

"Was the journey tiring?"

Are you injured?

"Ancestor, mother, and the clansmen are all very worried about you."

As she finished speaking, Zhang Xuanchen raised his hand and ruffled Zhang Deling's hair.

The anger that Zhang Dexiao had stirred up dissipated instantly.

Smiling broadly.

Daughters are so thoughtful.

That's what a sweet little girl should be like!

Unlike that brat, who was only interested in the Essence Blood the moment they met, and even prepared the bottle in advance, he really deserved to be beaten!

Sensing Zhang Deling's aura, he nodded in praise:

"Foundation Establishment Peak, not bad."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden-colored spirit bead from the Myriad Spirit Ring and placed it in her palm.

The surface of the spirit pearl has cyan patterns, it feels warm to the touch, and inside it is a swirling ball of cyan spiritual light.

"Ling'er, this is Fourth-tier Upper-grade wood-attribute spirit bead, the Azure Origin Meridian-Nourishing Pearl."

"After refining it, it can stabilize your meridians, replenish Wood-attribute Spiritual Power, and even sustain your life when injured. It will also greatly help you cultivate wood-attribute Cultivation Method."

"And since you possess a wood-attribute Spirit Root, it's a perfect fit."

Zhang Deling looked down at the spirit pearl in his palm, gently stroking the lines with his fingertips, a broad smile on his face. "Thank you, Father."

"Why are you being so polite with your father?"

After saying that, Zhang Xuanchen turned around and saw Zhang Dexiao squatting in the distance, peering in their direction.

What are you looking at?

Let me see if there's any for me.

"You have."

Zhang Dexiao's spirits lifted, and he immediately stood up, excitedly saying:

"Really?"

"There were two slaps, I already gave them."

Zhang Dexiao's expression froze, and he pulled his head back...

Zhang Xuanchen ignored him and turned his gaze to Zhang Chongxian and the others.

"Immortal Ancestor, Ling Shuang, Elders, let's go to the Main Hall."

I have something important to say.

"Good."

Main Hall.

Zhang Xuanchen sat in the main seat, with Zhang Chongxian and Zhang Detian sitting on his left and right sides.

Then Luo Lingshuang, Zhang Xuanbing, and the elders and hall masters took their seats in turn.

After many years, everyone's cultivation and aura have become much stronger.

After everyone was seated, Zhang Chongxian looked at Zhang Xuanchen and asked:

"Clan Leader, in the past, it would take about one or two years to enter the Secret Realm."

It usually ends in three or four years.

Why did you take so long this time?

Is there anything special about the Dragon Court Secret Realm?

That's true.

Over the years, the Zhang Family has also entered many Secret Realm.

The most time-consuming event was the Azure Sea Secret Realm in the Azure Sea Domain, but even that took far less than ten years.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen didn't keep him in suspense and nodded, saying:

"The Dragon Court Secret Realm is indeed different from other Secret Realm."

Because the Dragon Court Secret Realm was transformed from the Dragon Domain where the True Dragon Clan of the Spirit Realm resides.

Furthermore, there are remnants of True Dragon within the Dragon Domain.

Due to the invasion of the Outer Realm Devil, the Dragon Domain was destroyed and thus fell to the lower realm, becoming Secret Realm.

As for how it will be transformed, I have no idea.

Zhang Xuanchen recounted everything he had seen and heard after entering the Dragon Domain.

The True Dragon Orchard, Seventh-tier Upper Grade Coiling Dragon Fruit, the Myriad Dragon Blood Pool, thirty-eight drops of True Dragon Essence Blood, and many other matters concerning the Devil Race...

As he spoke, Zhang Xuanchen took out an Image Recording Stone.

After the spiritual energy was injected, several scenes from the Dragon Domain appeared in mid-air.

The True Dragon Orchard features Coiling Dragon Ancient Tree with intertwined roots Dragon Pattern patterns on the surface of the fruit... Powerful Demonized Creature, Myriad Dragon Blood Pool, and more are on display.

After witnessing all this, the hall fell silent.

The Dragon Domain fortuitous opportunity offers numerous opportunities, but also many dangers.

If it were them, they'd be lucky to survive even a few days, let alone get the fortuitous opportunity.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the Coiling Dragon Ancient Tree:

"This is Seventh-tier Upper Grade Coiling Dragon Ancient Tree?"

"Um."

Zhang Xuanchen nodded.

"The effects of the Coiling Dragon Fruit are extraordinary; one fruit can save one from a hundred years of arduous cultivation. Of course, it also has other uses."

"There are still thirty-eight drops of True Dragon Essence Blood."

"Twenty-eight of them are stored in the clan's treasure trove, used for cultivating physical strength or refining elixirs."

Those who wish to cultivate the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art can contact me or the Immortal Ancestor for explanation.

You need to prove that you have the ability, resources, and perseverance to practice this Cultivation Method.

The Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art is no joke. Without sufficient resources, your progress will be slower than cultivating First Stage Body Refining Cultivation Method.

Those who lack perseverance may even face the risk of death.

Once the Demon Calamity is resolved, I will ask Formation Grandmaster to set up some Formation. Only those who pass the Formation test and have the ability to acquire sufficient resources will be able to cultivate the Divine Dragon Tyrant Body.

Furthermore, to obtain True Dragon Essence Blood, you need sufficient quest points or fortuitous opportunity to exchange for it.

You could also borrow from your Lineage, but think carefully, as you'll need to repay it.

If one year isn't enough, then ten years, a hundred years, until death—this applies to everyone.

The Lineage will not give resources to anyone for free.

As the Lineage grows, once certain loopholes are opened, closing them requires paying with lives.

I think you all understand this.

"We understand!" everyone answered in unison.

They are all elders of the Lineage, witnessing the Lineage's growth from a precarious Golden Core Family to what it is today.

These things are perfectly clear to them.

And I won't violate it.
