The Power of the Golden Sun

The peak of Dragon Severing Mountain, the place where the Dragon Clan's Yang Gang Qi is most concentrated, also known as Dragon Severing Platform, is a mountain peak spanning a thousand miles, one of the highest peaks of the Dragon Clan.

The scorching sun shone down on this crimson land, the crimson Yang Gang Qi visible to the naked eye.

As Long Jiuyyao just ascended the peak of Dragon Severing Mountain, a scorching aura rushed towards him, his fair skin turning red at a visible rate.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and before it could even touch the ground, it was directly evaporated by the intense Yang Gang Qi.

"Hmph!"

Long Jiuyyao let out a soft hum, and the ultimate Yin Sha Power erupted from the Yuan Power Seed in his dantian, enveloping him and resisting the surrounding Yang Gang Qi.

As the Blood Yin Sha Qi was released, Long Jiuyyao felt the scorching sensation disappear, replaced by a cool aura that enveloped him. It felt so comfortable.

In this outer area, the Yang Gang Qi was not as potent as the Blood Yin Sha Qi Long Jiuyyao absorbed, so he was fine.

As Long Jiuyyao ventured deeper, the effect of the Blood Yin Sha Qi grew weaker, but it was still within his tolerance.

Going further, a golden-red platform, a hundred meters wide, appeared in Long Jiuyyao's sight.

"This must be the Flame Dragon Platform that Xin'er mentioned, the source of the Golden Sun Power that can generate extreme Yang Gang Qi."

Long Jiuyyao stepped onto the platform, and his black robe was instantly incinerated. His fair skin immediately turned red again.

"As expected of the ultimate Golden Sun Power, its might is no less than that of Blood Yin Sha Qi."

Long Jiuyyao unleashed his Blood Yin Sha Qi to its full extent. The Blood Yin Sha Qi and the Golden Sun Power neutralized each other, making the temperature around Long Jiuyyao, within a meter, feel normal.

Long Jiuyyao sat down cross-legged, forming hand seals. The scorching Golden Sun Power surged into the pitch-black Yuan Power Seed.

"Boom!"

As the Golden Sun Power flowed into his body, Long Jiuyyao's ears rang for a moment, and then a fiery energy rapidly spread throughout his body.

The Golden Sun Power circulated along his meridians, constantly seeping into his bones, meridians, and flesh along the way, before finally pouring into the Yuan Power Seed in his dantian.

With the influx of Golden Sun Power, the Yuan Power Seed in his dantian grew increasingly robust. Wisps of white steam even rose from the top of Long Jiuyyao's head.

The Yuan Power Seed, originally as black as ink, began to show a hint of white as the Golden Sun Power integrated into it. Although it was just a trace of white, it was particularly noticeable against the blackness of the Yuan Power Seed.

As the Golden Sun Power was integrated and refined, this trace of white would only grow.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Below the peak of Dragon Severing Mountain, a petite figure walked slowly, muttering to herself, "Stinky brother, it's been seven days, and he still hasn't come back."

It was Yuan Xin, who had grown impatient waiting at home and had come to find Long Jiuyyao.

Finally, Yuan Xin reached the mountaintop. She discovered she couldn't enter to find Long Jiuyyao because the Yin Sha Power she had absorbed was incompatible with the Yang Gang Qi of this place, making it impossible to resist.

Even though she hadn't stepped onto the thousand-mile red ground, it was still much hotter than ordinary places.

She sat down cross-legged, and a wave of Yin Sha Power emanated from her body, resisting the scorching aura.

After the clan competition, Yuan Xin had already touched the barrier of the Heaven Origin Realm. She couldn't fully resist the scorching Yang Gang Qi at this moment. As time ticked by, strands of Yang Gang Qi seeped into Yuan Xin's body.

Yuan Xin's delicate, rosy cheeks turned red, but the aura around her grew stronger. It seemed she would be able to break through to the Heaven Origin Realm soon.

Deep within the mountaintop of Dragon Severing Mountain, on the Flame Dragon Platform, a figure sat quietly, like an old monk in meditation.

"Bang!" Suddenly, the figure's tightly shut eyes snapped open. The moment they opened, an extremely powerful aura swept out from within like a storm!

Under the sweep of this aura, even the surrounding Golden Sun Qi was forcefully scattered.

"Ah! Is this what it feels like to be in the middle stage of the Heaven Origin Realm?" Long Jiuyyao murmured comfortably.

The Yuan Power Seed in his dantian was completely different from before, with black and white occupying equal halves.

Long Jiuyyao leaped off the Flame Dragon Platform, took out a black robe from his Qiankun bag, put it on, and then headed down the mountain.

As Long Jiuyyao got closer, the black dot in the distance became clearer. It was a rosy-cheeked little girl, carved from jade, with a frown on her face.

"Xin'er!" Long Jiuyyao exclaimed in shock.

His Yuan Power surged madly, and he instantly appeared before Yuan Xin. Yuan Power flowed through his fingers into Yuan Xin's body, and a violent aura erupted instantly.

Long Jiuyyao waved his hand, and the aura that erupted from Yuan Xin's body was instantly extinguished.

Her flushed cheeks returned to their usual delicate pink. Yuan Xin had now successfully broken through to the Heaven Origin Realm.

Yuan Xin, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, also opened them. She looked at the man before her and said joyfully, "Brother, you're out."

"Xin'er, why did you run all the way here? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? If it weren't for me, you would have been in serious trouble," Long Jiuyyao said, feigning anger.

"Brother, I came to find you because you hadn't come out for several days, and I was worried something had happened to you. I didn't mean to," Yuan Xin said aggrievedly.

"I'm fine, but you... you can't come to such a dangerous place again in the future. Let's go back," Long Jiuyyao said softly.

"Okay!"

Long Jiuyyao carried Yuan Xin on his back down the mountaintop.

Deep within the Dragon Clan, there was a place called the Dragon Ancestral Hall. Only those at the Elder level or above, or those who had made significant contributions to the Dragon Clan, were allowed to enter.

Currently, seven people are seated in a circle inside. The leader is the Dragon Clan Chief Yuan Gan, followed by Great Elder Tian Sha, Second Elder Zhou Lan, Third Elder Lu Chuan, Fourth Elder Ji Ming, Fifth Elder Dao Li, and Sixth Elder Tai Chenshan.

"Clan Chief, are we really going to execute such a plan?" the Third Elder asked.

"You all know how tragic the last great war between heaven and earth was. Although the Yi Mo are sealed now, they will inevitably break the seal if left for too long."

"And with the Ancestor fallen and Jiuyyao born in the Bone Burial Hall, isn't this the Ancestor's instruction!"

"From the moment Jiuyyao was born, he possessed the Ancient Dragon Bone and the Primordial Dragon Bone Finger Bone. The revival of our Dragon Clan rests in his hands," Yuan Gan said in a deep voice.

"I propose that our Dragon Clan will fully assist Jiuyyao in becoming the strongest in the Tian Xuan Continent to protect our Dragon Clan," Yuan Gan added.

"Clan Chief, although Jiuyyao's talent is very strong, he is still too young. We cannot rush this matter," the Fifth Elder said.

"Old Fifth is right. Let the six of us teach him for a few years separately. We can make a decision after he comes of age," the Great Elder proposed.

"Jiuyyao is indeed still young. Then let the six elders teach him. But how should the time be allocated?" Yuan Gan asked.

"Three months. Each elder will teach Jiuyyao for three months, and after three months, another elder will take over," the Second Elder said.

"Alright. Starting tomorrow, Jiuyyao will first follow the Great Elder, then the Second Elder, and so on," Yuan Gan decided.

"Yes," all the elders said in unison.

At this time, Long Jiuyyao was still playing with Yuan Xin. He didn't know that his future destiny had been decided by Yuan Gan in just a few words.

His easy days were over.

Early morning, bright sunlight streamed into the Dragon Domain, signaling the start of a new day.

When Long Jiuyyao was informed by Yuan Gan that the elders would personally guide him, he was overjoyed.

However, upon learning the schedule, the smile vanished from his face. Because each elder would guide him for three months, and as soon as one finished, the next would immediately take over, leaving him no time to rest.

At the age of seven, when he should be playing, he was constantly cultivating. The thought alone was enough to bring tears to one's eyes.

Long Jiuyyao followed Yuan Gan's footsteps to a courtyard.

It was more like a cave than a courtyard. Following Yuan Gan inside, Long Jiuyyao discovered that it held a universe within. The space inside was easily a thousand meters large.

It was filled with various spiritual plants and herbs, and the concentration of Yuan Power was much richer than in his own courtyard.

Upon entering, Long Jiuyyao also saw the Great Elder Tian Sha in the distance. He was dressed in white robes, his hair was gray, but despite his age, his skin was like that of a youth. Within his slightly closed eyes, sharp light flickered, and with every movement, extremely powerful Yuan Power fluctuations emanated.

"Greetings, Great Elder," Long Jiuyyao said, cupping his fists.

"Yao'er, follow the Great Elder well in your cultivation. I'll be leaving now," Yuan Gan said, turning to leave.

"Youngster Yao, come here," the Great Elder Tian Sha said with his eyes closed.

"Youngster Yao, look at this stone tablet. What can you make of it?"

With a wave of his hand, the Great Elder produced a stone tablet before Long Jiuyyao.

The stone tablet was extremely rough all over, but it was densely covered with runes. A peculiar power emanated from the tablet.

"Great Elder, is this spiritual power?" Long Jiuyyao asked.

"Good kid. Since you know, I won't explain too much. Experience it yourself," the Great Elder Tian Sha chuckled.

Long Jiuyyao sat quietly before the stone tablet. An inexplicable, strange power surged from the tablet, drawing him in.
