True Dragon Tribe, About to Emerge

Leave the courtyard.

Qin Wangchuan didn't linger any longer, heading straight for the deepest part of the Qin Clan compound, a Secret Realm shrouded in layers of restrictions and ancient mist—

He departed for the Longevity Heaven.

Passing through layers of spatial barriers and stepping over stone steps that seem to connect to the end of time, the view suddenly opens up before you.

The scenery is different every time I come here.

What is displayed today is an ethereal, Immortal Aura.

The distant mountains are shrouded in mist, and the lake is as still as a mirror.

Spirit Spring flows gently, and wondrous flowers bloom.

An unassuming thatched cottage sits quietly by the lake at the foot of the mountain.

Stepping inside, the world instantly transformed.

The endless starry sky is the ceiling, and the chaotic air currents are the ground.

The figure of Old Ancestor Qin Taiyi was sitting alone in the void.

Before me lay a chessboard with Nineteen Lines, black and white pieces scattered like stars, as if I were playing against an invisible opponent.

Qin Taiyi only slowly turned around when Qin Wangchuan approached.

"The Wangchuan has arrived."

Before the gaze had even truly landed on him, Qin Wangchuan felt as if he had been swept over from head to toe by a will that seemed to penetrate the deepest depths of hell.

"Um..."

After examining him, Qin Taiyi nodded slightly, his voice calm, "Your physique is indeed profound."

"During that great battle, I clearly sensed that your Origin Source was depleted, but now it is as perfect as ever, even... surpassing its former glory."

"And this condensed and unyielding aura of True Dragon."

"That Dragon Girl is quite willing to do that."

Qin Wangchuan felt a slight chill.

It only had twice the Origin Source as before, and its aura changed slightly, yet the Old Ancestor saw through it at a glance.

He bowed deeply and said, "Your Old Ancestor has keen insight."

"That's all we can see."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qin Taiyi said no more and raised his hand to beckon.

Two objects appeared out of thin air and landed in his palm.

It was the Nine-Layer Profound Heaven Ring, and the two Heavenly Suspended Silk, as thin as hair, yet faintly exuding the sharpness to sever all things.

"This design is acceptable; it incorporates external forces to strengthen itself, turning offense into defense."

Qin Taiyi brushed his fingertip across the Mystic Heaven Ring, and a layer of warm yet incredibly sturdy spiritual light immediately rippled across the ring. "I'll refine it for you again. Now, even a single ring possesses the power of the nine rings of the past."

"The power of the nine-layered superposition will be experienced by you in the future."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the two Heavenly Suspended Silk.

"As for this item... its original name is 'Heavenly Dao Silk,' a High Antiquity wonder whose sharpness should be unstoppable."

"When you obtain it, its true essence is sealed away, its true form yet to be revealed."

"I have refined it using Secret Method, restoring its High Antiquity power."

With a flick of his finger, three objects shot out and silently hovered in front of Qin Wangchuan.

Qin Wangchuan reached out and took it.

Its power after being refined by the Old Ancestor goes without saying, but what shocked him was—

These three items were all imbued with a trace of the Immortal Bone Dao Rhyme of immortality!

This means that these magical Law Treasure will resonate with the Immortal Bone within him, making them even more powerful.

As expected of our Old Ancestor!

Qin Wangchuan was deeply shocked.

Qin Taiyi took in his expression, said nothing more, and simply thought to himself.

Sizzle--

A wide and long spatial rift opened up from above.

Immediately afterwards.

A figure, enveloped in the warm pool water and misty Spiritual Qi, plummeted straight down from it.

It was Dragon Scale, who should have been resting in the Dragon Raising Pool.

Although he didn't know what the Old Ancestor's intention was, his actions were faster than his thoughts.

Qin Wangchuan spread his arms and caught the falling figure steadily in his arms.

The touch was cool and moist, with a familiar softness, but Dragon Scale's eyes still held a lingering sense of confusion, as if she had just been forcibly brought back to reality from a deep dream.

That's not all.

Another Jade Bottle fell from the crack, which shimmered with a faint light, and hovered silently in mid-air.

Qin Wangchuan did not go to pick it up immediately.

He lowered his gaze and gently turned the still somewhat dazed Dragon Scale in his arms around.

With one hand firmly supporting her dazzlingly white thighs, and the other hand holding the girl's side waist, he gently helped her feet touch the ground.

The girl's small toes curled up slightly as they touched the ground, then opened up a little, the rounded tips tinged with a faint pink, before she finally stood firmly on her feet.

After doing all this, Qin Wangchuan finally looked up and reached out to take the Jade Bottle that had been floating for so long.

The bottle is warm to the touch and cool to the touch; I wonder what's inside.

Qin Taiyi explained:

"Although the Immortal Bone and Sacrificial Bone on that defective body were severely corroded by the Black Mist, their Origin Source essence can still be used after I refine them."

As he was listening, Qin Wangchuan suddenly felt a slightly cool little hand take his right hand.

He didn't look down; instead, he naturally closed his fingers and tightly wrapped the small hand in his palm.

Dragon Scale's fingertips trembled slightly, but she did not pull away.

Instead, she quietly slipped her slender, white fingers between his fingers and held them tightly.

Quiet, obedient, and docile.

Qin Taiyi took in the silent connection between the two, a barely perceptible look of relief flashing across his eyes.

'It seems Chuan'er has completely tamed this "forbidden object."'

'In that case, they can serve as an assistant in the future, allowing for worry-free cultivation.'

He thought to himself, his expression returning to normal, and continued:

"Give her one pill every seven days, refined using the True Dragon Body."

"Given time, it may resonate with the Immortal Bone within you. At that point, it will be more than just a piece of armor."

"Of course, you don't need to take it."

"This stuff has too many impurities for you; it's actually harmful."

"As for the other items, they were already incorporated into the refining of the Immortal Bone beforehand; you should be able to sense that."

Qin Wangchuan immediately bowed. "Thank you for your generous gift, Old Ancestor!"

"Not at all."

Qin Taiyi rarely showed a smile, "I was just worried about what to reward you with, and these Immortal Bones have come to my doorstep."

"Using Immortal Bone to refine pills, only my Qin Clan is so arrogant throughout the world."

After the rewards were distributed, and a few more instructions were given,

Qin Taiyi changed the subject, his expression becoming more solemn. "Finally, there's the great fortuitous opportunity I promised earlier."

"Please speak, Old Ancestor."

"The True Dragon Tribe is about to be born."

True Dragon Tribe?

Upon hearing this, Qin Wangchuan subconsciously looked at Dragon Scale beside him.

"Wasn't the True Dragon Tribe extinct?"

"Extinction?"

Qin Taiyi smiled when he heard those two words.

"Since it is revered as a 'True Dragon,' how could it be easily extinct?"

"The appearance of the Dragon Lair in Middle Thousand Provinces this time must contain Dragon Qi and treasures accumulated over ten thousand years."

"Treasures are useless; the Dragon Qi is the essence."

"I need you to go and subdue this tribe, and guide its Dragon Qi into the Qin Clan to strengthen the foundation for future generations."

He paused briefly, his tone becoming more measured. "This matter is usually a routine affair for the clan, but for you, it is a fortuitous opportunity."

Qin Taiyi's gaze swept over Qin Wangchuan and finally settled on Dragon Scale.

"The key lies with this Dragon Girl."

"The purity of the True Dragon Bloodline within her is extraordinary."

"The fact that the True Dragon Tribe chose to appear in this world is likely closely related to her."

"This is all due to cause and effect; it is a great fortuitous opportunity that only you can obtain."

I see.

I never expected that Dragon Scale could lead to something like this.

Qin Wangchuan understood immediately and, without the slightest hesitation, bowed and replied:

"We will certainly live up to the expectations of our Old Ancestor."

"Good." Qin Taiyi said no more and waved his sleeve.

Qin Wangchuan tightened his grip on Dragon Scale's hand.

Before his eyes, a flash of light appeared, and his figure was already outside the Tenth Heaven.

The Old Ancestor's admonition echoed in my ears:

"Such commotion must have been noticed by those old fogies who have been lying dormant in the Three Thousand Provinces. They will surely send their Successor to compete for the Dragon Qi."

"The main purpose of this trip is to gain experience."

"When peers compete, they overcome difficulties and tribulations, each relying on their own abilities."

The tone suddenly turned somber, each word like iron:

"But what if you run into some clueless old fogies..."

"No need to show mercy."

"Just crush them all."
