Ancient Secrets, Quasi-Saint's Scheme

Lin Changqing frowned instantly, his hair standing on end, a sense of danger washing over him.

The might of a Quasi-Saint was something even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal couldn't withstand!

Not to mention, Lin Changqing's current cultivation was not even Mystic Immortal, his strength only that of a Golden Immortal.

Even though it was only a remnant soul and a corpse, the pressure emanating from this dragon body made Lin Changqing's heart tremble!

"Senior! This junior meant no offense. This secret realm appeared, and I entered with my Dragon Clan friend."

Within Lin Changqing's body, countless blood qi surged, ready to strike at any moment.

But he didn't act rashly. If he angered this Quasi-Saint, it would be troublesome.

At the same time, the Divine Demon power within Lin Changqing was also surging madly, ready to activate the divine ability, Divine Demon Wings, and flee the great hall.

"Hmph! A mere Mystic Immortal dares to enter my Dragon Clan's secret realm?"

"Kid, you've got some nerve."

Who knew that at this moment, the voice of this Dragon Clan member softened. Although the dragon body was only a skeleton, it slowly swam and coiled around a pillar in the great hall. A bony claw reached out towards Lin Changqing.

"Extend your hand, let me see that girl's vital essence blood."

The voice of the Dragon Clan skeleton came, and Lin Changqing was slightly relieved.

So, this Quasi-Saint had already discovered him and Ao Ying entering the secret realm. He probably had been under this Quasi-Saint's gaze from the very beginning.

He figured if he had shown even a shred of greed or disrespect towards these dragon corpses just now, he would have already lost his head.

Even with the Divine Demon Prison Suppression Art, he was ultimately only a Mystic Immortal. He didn't believe he could withstand an attack from a Quasi-Saint.

At most, the Merit Golden Body could block one attack and save his life.

Lin Changqing's mind relaxed slightly, but he remained vigilant, watching the myriad of dragon corpses.

It was then that Lin Changqing realized that although the myriad of dragon corpses were moving, only the corpse of this Quasi-Saint Dragon Clan senior was conscious and intelligent. The rest of the dragon corpses were merely following their instincts, moving sluggishly.

"No need to look. When the Great Tribulation descended, Ancestral Dragon ordered us to lead our Dragon Clan descendants to create secret realms to avoid it. But my Dragon Clan was ultimately the protagonist of the Great Tribulation, and we couldn't escape."

"After Ancestral Dragon fell, the Heavenly Dao unleashed boundless Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, shattering this secret realm and annihilating us all."

"Even though I was a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, only a sliver of my remnant soul remained, allowing me to converse with you now."

"The other dragons are long dead; these are just mindless remnant souls."

Unexpectedly, the Quasi-Saint Dragon Clan seemed to see through Lin Changqing's thoughts and chuckled, his tone very relaxed.

"Senior is magnanimous. To speak of the Dragon Clan's crisis with such a casual tone."

Lin Changqing cupped his hands slightly and, reaching out, released the drop of vital essence blood left by Ao Ying.

The Quasi-Saint Dragon Clan's bone claw retracted, slowly drawing the drop of vital essence blood into its grasp, its words continuing.

"What else can I do but see through it? The Great Tribulation of heaven and earth, even Hunyuan Grand Unity couldn't withstand it. We, Hunyuan Golden Immortals, were nothing more than ashes of calamity."

"Besides, how long has it been? If I hadn't let go, I would have become a vengeful spirit long ago. You would have been completely dead the moment you entered."

The bone dragon glanced at Lin Changqing. Although its eyes were just empty sockets, Lin Changqing felt as if he were being watched.

"Hahahaha! True Dragon bloodline, nine-patterned True Dragon, not bad, not bad!"

"It's a descendant of Elder Azure Dragon. I wonder which Dragon Clan member it is."

At this moment, the vital essence blood in the bone dragon's claw churned, a golden hue surging. The bone dragon suddenly burst into laughter.

"Kid, do you know what has become of the Dragon Clan now?"

The bone dragon looked at Lin Changqing and asked excitedly.

"The Dragon Clan currently has four surviving lineages: the Four Seas Dragon Clans. The one who came in with me is the princess of the East Sea Dragon Clan, Ao Ying."

"She is the daughter of the East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang."

This was not something that needed to be concealed. Lin Changqing smiled and said to the bone dragon, who nodded repeatedly.

"So it's Ao Guang. Ao Guang's strength is not inferior to mine. It's good that he can protect our Dragon Clan!"

The bone dragon laughed, while Lin Changqing frowned slightly.

If he remembered correctly, the former South Sea Dragon King was only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, not a Quasi-Saint at all!

Logically, the strength of the Four Seas Dragon Kings should be the same. How could Ao Guang be a Quasi-Saint?

However, no one knew for sure. The East Sea was indeed the head of the Four Seas Dragon Clans, so it wasn't impossible for Ao Guang to be a Quasi-Saint.

Lin Changqing did not voice this doubt.

At this moment, the bone dragon slowly turned its head and looked at Lin Changqing.

"Kid, what about the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan now?"

"The Phoenix Clan still has some bloodlines surviving, but they are far inferior to the Dragon Clan. As for the Qilin Clan, there is no trace of them in the Primordial World."

There was no need to hide this either.

After the era of the Three Clans, the Dragon Clan was indeed the most powerful.

Of the Phoenix Clan, only the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird and Kong Xuan survived; the rest were completely gone.

The Qilin Clan, at least Lin Changqing hadn't heard of any surviving ones.

"Hahahaha!!"

"Hmph! These two clans still dare to contend with my Dragon Clan, they deserve it!"

The Bone Dragon suddenly burst into laughter, saying somewhat triumphantly.

"Sigh..."

But after laughing heartily, the Bone Dragon also sighed in dejection.

Even if the Dragon Clan was the most powerful of the three clans now, what of it?

The decline of the three clans was merely a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

This was no longer the era of the three clans; their past glory had all faded.

The Bone Dragon remained still for a long time, then slowly turned its head to look at Lin Changqing.

"Kid, that girl went to the Ancestral Dragon Pool, a great opportunity for her. You, however, have arrived here."

"With your Mystic Immortal cultivation, you possess Golden Immortal strength, and even more so, peculiar methods that even I cannot see through."

"Moreover, I can sense a power within you that makes my heart tremble, as well as an immeasurable amount of merit."

"That girl's opportunity is the Ancestral Dragon Pool, and I, in turn, can grant you an opportunity."

The Bone Dragon looked at Lin Changqing and said indifferently, but Lin Changqing could not remain calm, looking over with excited eyes.

This was an opportunity!

An opportunity granted by a Quasi-Saint, how powerful must it be? Lin Changqing's heart began to race!

Even if it couldn't compare to the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir or the Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure given by his master, it definitely wouldn't be too far off!

However, the Bone Dragon looked at Lin Changqing and remained silent for a long time.

"Senior, Junior and Xiao Ying are close friends, and I am also on good terms with the Dragon Clan."

"Senior, rest assured, if the Dragon Clan faces trouble in the future, I will not stand idly by!"

Lin Changqing immediately said to the Bone Dragon, who slowly nodded.

The Bone Dragon also had its own calculations.

Within the Ancestral Dragon Pool lay the Dragon Clan's bloodline power, a treasure that others, no matter how envious or jealous, could not take away.

As for what he was giving, if it were taken by the Dragon Clan, it might just bring disaster.

Furthermore, the Dragon Clan, having borne countless Karmic Obstacles since the Great Tribulation, would not be able to rise even with his meager contribution.

Finding allies was the best choice.

And a person with boundless merit within them was clearly the best ally.

Even this treasure he was giving away would involve karma, reducing the Dragon Clan's Karmic Obstacles!

A Quasi-Saint who had lived for countless years, even in death, was still scheming endlessly.

"Hahaha! Excellent! Kid, I truly didn't misjudge you."

"This secret realm originally contained countless treasures, but when that Purple Firmament Divine Lightning struck, most of them were annihilated, and the rest were buried by time."

"Only this treasure protected my remnant soul for endless years. It's yours now!"
