Dragon Clan Palace, Myriad Dragon Corpses, Primordial Golden Immortal!

Lin Changqing frowned deeply as he watched the golden pillar of light shoot into the sky.

In the Primordial World, treasures appearing would cause some commotion, but not usually this much.

However, the opening of the secret realm's restrictions had sent multiple golden pillars of light straight into the heavens.

Such an anomaly was far too conspicuous.

This was a major taboo in the Primordial World!

"Brother, what do we do now?"

Ao Ying turned to look at Lin Changqing, asking with some worry.

With such a massive commotion, it was impossible to avoid attracting attention.

If they went in now, they would surely be in danger when they came out.

If they were surrounded by one or two Golden Immortals, or even trapped by Grand Unity Golden Immortals, it would be a huge problem.

"Perhaps we shouldn't enter this secret realm!"

Ao Ying thought for a moment, then sighed and said.

Lin Changqing, however, looked resolute. He gazed at the dark vortex that was gradually expanding, and the ancient palace within it.

"No!"

"Opportunity is right before us. If we don't seize it, it will plant a heart demon."

"How can we cultivators achieve the Great Dao if we are too timid to act!"

As Lin Changqing spoke, boundless killing intent erupted in his eyes.

This was the first opportunity he had discovered since entering the Primordial World.

He would be truly unwilling to give it up.

He wanted to see who dared to snatch his opportunity!

"Let's go! We don't know what fortunes or misfortunes lie within the secret realm, but you'll be safer by my side!"

"We'll go in together."

Lin Changqing said, then grabbed Ao Ying's hand and they rapidly flew towards the Dragon Clan secret realm.

Ao Ying looked at Lin Changqing with immense gratitude, a faint blush rising on her face, and a unique emotion stirring in her heart.

Of course, Lin Changqing didn't just grab Ao Ying to protect her.

More importantly, this was a Dragon Clan secret realm, and no one would be safer inside than a Nine-Patterned True Dragon.

The two of them transformed into streams of light, plummeting rapidly into the vortex. In an instant, it was as if they had crossed thousands of miles, crashing down from the sky of one world into another.

In the center lay an incredibly ancient palace complex, surrounded by even vaster mountains, rivers, and lakes.

The vortex they had entered was merely a giant opening hanging in the sky.

No wonder the Dragon Clan secret realm was actually a pocket dimension!

This was why Qing Teng, despite being the master of this vast marsh, couldn't open the Dragon Clan secret realm and could only rely on someone with True Dragon bloodline to do so.

Lin Changqing led Ao Ying, rapidly descending towards the connected palace complex.

The Dragon Clan secret realm was bound to be filled with treasures.

After all, when the world first opened, all things were innate. Even a random stone or a blade of grass picked up in the Primordial World would have been an Innate Treasure or an Innate Spiritual Root.

As time flowed, nearly ninety-nine percent of innate items slowly evolved and disappeared, replaced by acquired items.

After the Beast Calamity and the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, the number of innate items remaining was pitifully small.

However, in ancient times, innate items were still abundant and common.

The ancient Dragon Clan secret realm was sure to contain endless innate treasures!

If not for the anomaly outside, Lin Changqing would have taken Ao Ying to search every inch of the secret realm, turning the entire place upside down.

He might have even dug up the grass.

But now, the external anomaly would undoubtedly attract others. If they were too slow, unforeseen accidents might occur.

"Ao Ying, you have True Dragon bloodline. Can you sense where the most miraculous place in this secret realm is?"

Lin Changqing asked Ao Ying. She closed her eyes, and her body suddenly transformed, a thousand-zhang Azure Dragon appearing to span this world.

The dragon's bloodline surged, and divine patterns flickered on its scales.

A moment later, Ao Ying looked at Lin Changqing.

"Brother, I sense two places with the strongest energies. One is on the mountain peak, and the other is within that crater over there."

Ao Ying said, then transformed back into human form and spoke to Lin Changqing.

Following Ao Ying's gesture, Lin Changqing looked in the two directions she indicated.

The mountain peak was the very center of the countless palaces. A colossal and magnificent palace stood atop the peak, reaching over three thousand zhang in height!

Its width spanned a large swathe of the mountain ridge, easily tens of thousands of zhang across.

Lin Changqing had already made a guess about this place. He estimated it was the core of this palace and the center of this secret realm.

As for the other direction Ao Ying pointed, it was at the foot of the mountain, a deep pit no more than a thousand feet wide, surrounded by lush blood-colored bushes that obscured the view.

Lin Changqing frowned as he looked at the two locations. It seemed that if they searched one by one, someone else might get there first.

"Ao Ying, let's split up. You're weaker, so go to the sinkhole. I'm stronger, so I'll go to the grand hall."

Lin Changqing said to Ao Ying.

Anyone who came here later would likely notice the palace first, just like Lin Changqing.

Most of them would probably head to the palace, while the sinkhole was less dangerous.

It was most suitable for him to go to the palace.

Of course, Lin Changqing had his own little plan.

Ao Ying could sense that there was treasure in the sinkhole, likely some inheritance from the Dragon Clan. Even if there was treasure, Lin Changqing couldn't use it.

Instead, inside the massive palace, there might be some innate treasures, which would be what he needed.

"Fellow Daoist, you don't have True Dragon bloodline..."

Ao Ying frowned and said to Lin Changqing, her eyes filled with worry.

This was a secret realm of the Dragon Clan, where bloodline was far more important than strength.

Especially True Dragon bloodline.

Lin Changqing shook his head indifferently.

"It's fine. It's all about destiny. Whoever is fated will obtain it. If it cannot be forced, then so be it."

Lin Changqing said with a smile, but Ao Ying still shook her head.

"Fellow Daoist, even if you don't go with me, please accept this."

As Ao Ying spoke, a drop of vital blood flew from between her brows and landed on Lin Changqing's hand.

Ao Ying's face instantly turned paler. This was a drop of vital blood containing a trace of a True Dragon's soul. In this secret realm of the Dragon Clan, it was a very useful treasure.

Lin Changqing looked at Ao Ying with a complex expression but did not refuse.

This item could indeed be useful in a critical moment.

"Alright, let's go our separate ways! Go!"

Lin Changqing said, and the two of them rapidly headed in their respective directions.

Ao Ying went straight to the sinkhole, while Lin Changqing's back surged with blood-red energy, and a pair of blood-red wings appeared. With a flap, he instantly landed at the entrance of the palace on the mountaintop.

The palace was ancient, with countless divine patterns flickering on its surface. The divine patterns of the Dragon Clan shone with light, enveloping the entire palace.

However, this secret realm had existed for an unknown number of years, and the formation was already dilapidated. A gap had appeared in one corner.

Putting away the vital blood in his hand, Lin Changqing flashed through the gap and flew inside.

Inside the entire palace, countless treasures and spiritual roots had long since decayed due to the depletion of spiritual energy, turning into dust and dissipating at the slightest touch.

Passing through the decaying corridors and entering the grand hall, the scene before Lin Changqing's eyes made him widen his eyes.

"This is! True Dragon skeletons!!!"

The central grand hall was three thousand feet tall and tens of thousands of feet wide.

Inside, dragons lay prostrate, their scales and flesh long gone.

Now, only pristine, crystalline skeletons remained in the palace.

There were at least tens of thousands of these dragon skeletons!

The smallest was two thousand feet in size, twice the size of Ao Ying's true form, and possessed at least the strength of a peak Golden Immortal!

The largest one was ten thousand feet in size!

Such a colossal dragon might not even be matched by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

These were the skeletons of a Primordial Golden Immortal!
