Tian Xuan Continent, north of the Demon Domain.
A vast and boundless Barbaric Land. On the land, mountain ranges stretched out like slumbering dragons. Patches of Ancient Forest stood tall, with ancient giant trees tens of thousands of feet high, like small mountain peaks. Their spreading branches and leaves covered an area of nearly a thousand zhang, and a thick Barbaric Aura surged through this world.
From time to time, various Beast Roars echoed across the land, filled with untamed ferocity. This Barbaric Land was known as the Dragon Domain.
Deep within the Dragon Domain, a basin surrounded by mountains. At this moment, enclosed by several towering peaks, there was only a vast Black Secluded Pool.
The Black Secluded Pool was about a thousand zhang in size, with no ripples or waves. The pool water was thick and pitch-black.
Furthermore, the Black Secluded Pool was surrounded by large black trees. These trees were quite strange, with black scales covering their trunks, reflecting a metallic sheen under the sunlight.
On the surrounding ground, there were many patches of grass, but these grasses were also like scales, flashing with sharp cold light as they swayed in the wind.
Everything near the Black Secluded Pool seemed to have become strangely sharp and potent due to the energy within it.
At this moment, a pale white Light Orb hovered above the Black Secluded Pool. Endless pitch-black energy slowly rose and fell, enveloping the pale white Light Orb, forming a black Energy Cocoon that sank into the Black Secluded Pool.
"Where is this place?" a confused voice came from the Light Orb.
"My hands, my feet?" the consciousness within the Light Orb exclaimed.
The black, viscous pool water, like mud, covered the Energy Cocoon layer by layer.
The consciousness within the enveloped Light Orb gradually quieted down, returning to peace.
In a silent Ancient Grand Hall filled with the dust of ages, a black Energy Cocoon appeared out of thin air.
Inside the hall, Black Skeletons sat quietly, and countless silk-like energy threads wound around the black Energy Cocoon.
The Light Orb within the cocoon slowly stirred, and a faint Life Aura was born.
In the depths of the hall, on eight Bronze Platforms, skeletons sat cross-legged. However, the color of these eight skeletons was not black, but a Dark Gold Color.
The eight Dark Gold Skeletons transformed into energy threads and surged into the Energy Cocoon. The Light Orb faintly began to form flesh and blood, and the Dark Gold energy threads actually formed dragon bones, integrating with the flesh and blood.
A new life was born in the Burial Ground of the Dragon race.
And, at the deepest and highest point of the hall, on a Lotus Stone Platform, a skeleton was also sitting cross-legged.
At first glance, this skeleton was like the most perfect jade in the world, crystal clear. Upon closer inspection, one could even see faint Jade Vein Patterns contained within the bones.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure emanated. When it subsided, beneath the Lotus Stone Platform, a Man in Purple Robe sat peacefully.
The man was quite handsome, but the majesty in his brows was heart-stopping. From his sleeve, a slender hand emerged, and on the hand were six exceptionally perfect fingers.
"How interesting. I didn't expect this Burial Ground to be able to give birth to life. Very well, anyone born here is of the Dragon race. I shall grant you an opportunity."
A faint voice suddenly echoed through this world, carrying an indescribable and powerful majesty.
"Buzz!"
In the silence, the land suddenly trembled. Waves surged from the black Dragon Transformation Pool below. Within the black pool water, purple gold colors seemed to flash. A profoundly ancient dragon roar echoed from the deepest part, shaking heaven and earth.
"Swish!"
In the Dragon Clan Grand Hall, everyone's eyes were filled with shock. Their gazes swept towards the depths of the Dragon Domain, towards the commotion in the Dragon Transformation Pool. Even the Dragon Clan Chief's usually calm face finally showed undeniable shock.
"This is... the Ancestor is awakening?!"
Outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, a commotion arose. On the surrounding mountain peaks, numerous eyes watched the churning Dragon Transformation Pool with some astonishment.
All the Dragon Clan members knew very well about the Dragon Transformation Pool. The energy within it was vast to a terrifying degree, causing the pool water to be almost solidified and immobile. Yet now, the Dragon Transformation Pool, which couldn't even create ripples if a mountain peak were thrown into it, was churning with turbulent waves.
"What's going on?"
Some of the young generation within the Dragon Clan exchanged glances. They clearly knew nothing about the Burial Ground hidden within the Dragon Transformation Pool.
"This is..."
Around the Dragon Clan Chief, the aged elders had lost their previous composure. Their ancient faces were filled with shock. Given their status, they knew a little about the Burial Ground, but generally, only those with great fortune could enter there.
"This fluctuation is from the Ancestor," the Dragon Clan Chief said with a solemn expression, looking at the elders. "Someone has entered the Bone Burial Hall and has come into contact with the Ancestor's Will."
"Who is it?" an elder asked with some anger and surprise. It was not the time to open the Dragon Transformation Pool, and now someone was telling him that someone had entered the Bone Burial Hall and triggered the Ancestor's Will. This was their dereliction of duty.
"We did not open the Dragon Transformation Pool, so we don't know who it is yet. Form a formation to seal it, and when they come out, we will investigate."
The Dragon Clan Chief shook his head slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the churning Dragon Transformation Pool.
On the lotus platform, the two hands of the jade skeleton suddenly had their index fingers fade, transforming into jade light that merged into the cocoon of light.
Within the cocoon of light, the index finger bones became like jade. Flesh and blood rapidly merged within the jade light.
A young dragon form gradually solidified. On its flesh and blood, ink black dragon scales began to grow.
The previously dormant consciousness gradually awakened and merged with the body. A life was about to be born.
The strange phenomenon at the Dragon Transformation Pool lasted for a full five days. After five days, the pool water gradually calmed down, and the faint purple gold light reflected by the pool water also quietly dissipated.
However, although the Dragon Transformation Pool had returned to its calm state, the person within had still not appeared. This made the Dragon Clan members extremely eager, and they desperately wanted to know what had happened inside the Dragon Transformation Pool.
But no matter how urgent they felt, they couldn't rush in to retrieve the person if they didn't come out. Thus, they could only exchange helpless glances and wait patiently.
And this wait, another full month passed.
After this month, the Dragon Transformation Pool remained as calm as ever, the previous anomaly seeming like a fleeting moment, and not a single figure emerged from within.
And calculating the time, nearly three months had passed since the anomaly.
On a mountain peak outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Dragon Clan Chief stood with his hands behind his back. For these three months, he had hardly left this spot, his gaze fixed intently on the Dragon Transformation Pool below, showing how seriously he regarded this matter.
Behind him, many Dragon Clan elders also waited with varied expressions, but as time passed, their brows gradually furrowed.
In the Bone Burial Hall, the Man in Purple Robe, dressed in purple, sat peacefully on a lotus platform. His slightly furrowed brow gazed at the light cocoon in the air: "Strange, by rights, it should have been born last month. Why is there still no movement?"
The Black Young Dragon within the light cocoon, its pained expression revealing its current hardship, its original consciousness was actually fighting for dominance with its newborn consciousness.
The wait that followed remained long. The Bone Burial Hall remained undisturbed, and time quietly slipped by day by day, and in the blink of an eye, another half month passed.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Sounds of breaking echoed, especially loud in the silent Bone Burial Hall.
As a Black Dragon, as dark as ink, appeared in the Bone Burial Hall, the luster of the countless Black Skeletons below instantly dimmed, and the eight Dark Gold Skeletons did the same, their luster not to be seen again for who knows how many years.
The Black Young Dragon's ink-like dragon wings flapped discordantly, its body swaying in the air, its human-like Dragon Eyes looking at everything around.
"Roar!"
An excited dragon roar echoed in the silent Bone Burial Hall, announcing its birth.
