New Ability, Imperial Dragon Form!
Accompanied by Long Yue, Qin Wangchuan slowly descended the jade steps that wound down the Sacred Mountain.
A deep ache in his soul caused him to furrow his brow slightly, but his steps remained steady.
At the foot of the Sacred Mountain, figures began to gather along the wide sacred path leading to the Palace Master.
At first, there were only a few scattered individuals, watching from afar with bewildered and uncertain eyes.
Soon, more and more members of the True Dragon Clan put down their affairs and rushed over from all directions.
They stood by the roadside, suspended in mid-air, or perched on the eaves of the palace, all their eyes fixed on the figure descending from the summit of the Sacred Mountain.
The intertwined scales and Dragon Might's might created a solemn and oppressive atmosphere.
Qin Wangchuan paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the silent dragons on both sides.
I recall being stared at in the same way when I first joined the True Dragon Clan. Back then, those gazes were mostly scrutinizing, curious, and even harboring hostility.
Now...
He believed that these Dragon Clan still came because of the Dragon Scale.
With a slight thought, the Dragon Scale detached from its attached state and landed lightly to the side.
She transformed back into that aloof, black-haired Golden Eyes loli form.
However, the focus did not materialize.
The gazes of the dragons on both sides lingered for only a moment on Dragon Scale's perfect Ancestral Dragon Physique.
In the next instant, all eyes were suddenly drawn by an invisible force, turning sharply and locking onto Qin Wangchuan!
Whoa--!
The dragons instantly erupted in excitement!
His gaze was intense, almost tangible.
They converged into a blazing torrent, surging with an almost burning fervor and awe.
Simply because that posture was too perfect!
As the Dragon Scale was peeled away.
The majestic dragon horns, the naturally drooping dragon tail, and the faint Dragon Scale phantoms around Qin Wangchuan's body began to gradually fade away.
It did not disappear, but rather transformed from a physical entity back into a shimmering, iridescent phantom.
Sunlight pierced through the clouds and streamed down.
The illusory dragon horns seemed to be formed from an ancient will, with golden halos flowing around their edges. They refracted strange and magnificent colors in the sunlight, adding to their mystery and ethereal quality compared to their physical form.
The phantom of the dragon's tail swayed gently, stirring up fine dust, as if disturbing fragments of time.
This process of transforming reality into illusion did not diminish his Dragon Clan majesty; on the contrary, it made him appear even more majestic and eye-catching under the sunlight!
That is a supreme form that transcends flesh and blood and points directly to the Origin Source!
Although they didn't understand how this Human Race had done it, the connection of their bloodlines wouldn't deceive them.
He possesses pure blood and is the incarnation of the supreme ruler of the True Dragon Clan!
Qin Wangchuan's heartbeat was slightly faster than usual due to the pain in his soul and the delicate atmosphere at this moment.
Thump... thump... thump...
To him, the sound of his heartbeat was merely the thumping of his chest.
But in the perception of the True Dragon around him, whose bloodlines resonated with his, it seemed to transform into some strange rhythm, a call originating from the Origin Source of life.
Unbeknownst to them, some of the Dragon Clan with relatively weak bloodlines among the dragon groups on both sides began to subtly adjust their heartbeats, attempting to synchronize with the heartbeat of the source.
Thump... thump... thump...
Like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, ripples spread.
One, two, ten, a hundred...
More and more of the True Dragon's heartbeats began to involuntarily synchronize with Qin Wangchuan's!
A young Dragon Clan with relatively weak bloodline, under the omnipresent pressure and bloodline resonance, suddenly felt his legs go weak and he knelt down with a thud, his forehead touching the ground.
It was as if the first domino had been toppled.
Then, the second, the third...
Like the wind blowing through wheat fields, or like subjects paying homage to their king.
Starting from both sides of the Sacred Mountain steps, extending to the Dragon Palace Square in the distance, and then further to the distant mountain peaks and pavilions...
As far as the eye could see, all the True Dragon Clan members, regardless of gender, age, or cultivation level, were simultaneously facing the direction of Qin Wangchuan.
Kneel, bow your head, kneel down!
All dragons bow their heads in reverence to welcome their sovereign!
Qin Wangchuan was moved by this scene, but he did not stop walking.
Sudden!
A brilliant light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.
Then, a second, a third... countless points of light soared into the sky, blooming one after another under the heavens!
"Boom--!"
"Whoosh--Bang!"
It wasn't the explosion of Law Technique, but fireworks of unparalleled brilliance.
Crimson as blood, golden as the sun, azure as the sea, emerald green as jade...
A myriad of lights intertwine to form magnificent patterns, including soaring Dragon Form, swirling auspicious clouds, and shimmering ancient runes.
It was dazzling and breathtakingly beautiful.
"What is that?" Qin Wangchuan asked softly, gazing at the dazzling light that was constantly blooming on the horizon.
Upon hearing this, Long Yue, who was keeping a half-step distance behind, shifted her gaze from the perfectly developed dragon horns on Dragon Scale's head.
Sure enough, spring's beauty has permeated to the bone.
Dragon Scale was no longer a budding maiden, but a perfectly blossoming young woman who had been thoroughly nurtured.
'Should I...?'
Thinking it over, she lowered her eyes and responded in a gentle and respectful voice:
"Those are fireworks to welcome you, Dragon Lord."
"Using dragon flame as a catalyst, mixed with various precious minerals and spiritual powders, it burns high in the heavens, its radiance lasting forever."
"This is announcing your awakening and arrival to the whole world."
Qin Wangchuan nodded, and after a moment of silence, said, "This is the first time I've seen fireworks here."
Are you satisfied?
"No," Qin Wangchuan shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the horizon, as if he saw something else through that dazzling Light Screen of light, "It's nostalgia."
"Nostalgia?"
A look of doubt appeared in Long Yue's eyes.
"I know a place where these fireworks only appear on special holidays. And everyone there offers the same blessing."
Long Yue was even more confused and subconsciously asked, "Then... what kind of blessing is it?"
Qin Wangchuan did not answer, but turned his head away.
His gaze passed over Long Yue, over the kneeling dragons, and over the barriers of time and space, looking towards a distant yet familiar dimension.
Finally, I stopped on this page and saw you, the reader.
What followed were these four words:
"Happy New Year."
Qin Wangchuan arrived at the depths of the Dragon Palace amidst the bowing of ten thousand dragons and a sky full of dazzling colors.
The illusory dragon horns disappeared as they receded, only to reappear with a thought.
The Dragon Scale had already been reattached to her robes.
Long Yue followed closely, maintaining a perfect half-step distance, showing respect while also being able to respond promptly when needed.
She escorted Qin Wangchuan to the door of the Quiet Room and personally pushed open the jade door carved with ancient Dragon Patterns.
The room was filled with Spiritual Qi atmosphere, and the warm jade glowed, isolating it from all the noise of the outside world.
"This place is the core of the Ancient Dragon Hall's Spirit Vein, the most peaceful place, which is conducive to your recuperation."
Long Yue's voice sounded exceptionally gentle in the Quiet Room.
She stepped slightly to make way, her gaze subtly sweeping over Qin Wangchuan's slightly furrowed brows. "Is there anything else you need? Spirit Spring, pills, or perhaps a maidservant to attend to you?"
