The Dragon Son of the Mixed Cavern is Born
"Everyone, don't put too much pressure on Ye Chen. As long as he improves compared to the previous year, that's fine."
The old temple master was very easygoing; he didn't demand a high ranking, he was content as long as he didn't stagnate.
This competition also serves as a reflection of the Divine Hall's strength; the higher the ranking, the more resources are allocated.
Although the Avici Divine Hall is ranked seventh, its overall strength is even inferior to the Divine Hall ranked below it.
The old temple master nurtured Houtu in the hope that one day she would inherit his mantle, shine brightly, and demonstrate the prestige of the Avici Divine Hall.
However, this cycle is too long.
"So where is this event being held?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"The Mysterious Yellow Hall!"
Knowing everything, Ling Xiao began his cultivation journey. With the tournament fast approaching, he needed to maximize his strength during this time.
Upon learning this news, Primordial Dao Lord, another avatar in the Celestial Divine Hall, stopped his pursuit of first place and remained in second.
This surprised the gods of the Celestial Divine Hall, who wondered why the boy had stopped moving. Were they afraid of being unable to defeat the First Divine General?
Meanwhile, in the True Demon Palace, Ling Xiao's third avatar, Mo Li Jin, was still cultivating inside the cultivation hall, showing no intention of leaving.
He was still diligently deducing the subsequent True Demon Myriad Kalpas Immortality Scripture, multitasking and working on multiple fronts simultaneously.
In the Treasure Realm, Ling Xiao's true form sat quietly amidst the torrent of treasure energy, cultivating with focused concentration.
Suddenly, the Chaos Void Dragon Nest, which was floating deep within the dantian, stirred.
A newfound power, an unprecedented dragon's might, emanated from it.
"Huh... the egg of the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon is about to hatch!"
With a thought, Ling Xiao saw the enormous dragon egg deep within the Chaos Void Dragon Nest, emitting a faint glow, with cracks spreading outwards.
There is a new life force inside, trying to break free from the eggshell's constraints.
Soon after, the crack widened, and finally, with a crisp cracking sound, a dragon's head emerged, followed by the entire dragon's body.
This is a small golden dragon. Even though it is very big, its various organs are in a cute, chibi style, making it look adorable.
Its bright eyes scanned its surroundings.
"You're finally born."
Ling Xiao's figure slowly appeared in the dragon's nest, looking at the little dragon god with a smile, his eyes showing some surprise.
This Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon is very weak, only at the Primordial Taiji level, even weaker than the tool dragon bred in the dragon's nest.
However, it was born at the Primordial Taiji level; if it were placed in the Primordial World, it could directly become the ancestor of the Dragon Clan.
"Eeya ya..."
When the little dragon god saw Ling Xiao arrive, his eyes lit up, and he circled around him, making unintelligible sounds.
"Do you know who I am? Are you male or female?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
The little dragon god paused for a moment, then clearly uttered the word "father".
"As expected of a divine beast, it is born with great wisdom. However, I am not your father." Ling Xiao gently shook his head.
"Dad?"
"Father!"
The little dragon god seemed not to understand Ling Xiao's words and immediately cheered and jumped for joy.
"I told you, I'm not your father. Don't call me that and cause misunderstandings!"
Ling Xiao straightened his face and seriously corrected him, "He's not even married yet, what kind of talk would that make?"
"Daddy! Daddy!" the little dragon god cried out even louder.
Ling Xiao: "..."
"Alright, you win."
After a while, Ling Xiao finally gave up correcting the name; the little dragon seemed to be possessed.
You can't really say it's smart, but you can't really say it's stupid either, because it can call you "Dad" from the moment it's born.
"Let me give you a name first. You are dressed in gold, so let's take Jin as your surname. You are naturally smart and clever, so I'll give you the word Ling. From now on, I'll call you Jin Linglong!"
Ling Xiao immediately made the decision and gave the little dragon god a name.
He was very satisfied with the name, which was similar to how Bodhi Patriarch named Sun Wukong.
"Are you satisfied?" he asked with a smile, looking at the little dragon god beside him.
The latter nodded repeatedly, not daring to express dissatisfaction.
"Very good." Ling Xiao stroked the dragon's head.
Just as the man and the dragon were about to leave the dragon's nest, the Chaos Void Dragon Nest suddenly shook. It turned out that the long-incubated dragon eggs had all hatched with the birth of the Jin Ling Dragon.
"It seems the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon had a backup plan; if the baby Ancestral Dragon doesn't hatch, the other tool dragons can't break out of their shells..."
Ling Xiao thought to himself, otherwise there was no way to explain why the other tool dragons hatched as soon as the Ancestral Dragon was born.
Rumble...
The dragon's nest trembled slightly, and all the tall dragon soldiers, dragon generals, and dragon kings gathered at the center of the nest, kneeling in unison to pay their respects to Ling Xiao and the Jin Ling Dragon.
Although the number was small, the scale was enormous.
"Get up, all of you."
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, then raised his hand and waved it, taking control of the dragon nest to hatch another batch of dragon eggs.
The materials obtained from the Mythic Battlefield are enough to sustain us for a very long time.
Just because we don't need the tool dragon now doesn't mean we'll never need it. Hatching it and keeping it will come in handy someday.
After doing all this, Ling Xiao left the dragon's nest with the Jin Ling Dragon.
"Dad... I'm hungry!"
As soon as he came out, Jin Ling Dragon patted his belly and said aggrievedly.
"Take it and eat it slowly."
"That'll be enough for you to eat for a while."
Ling Xiao took out a large cauldron filled with medicinal herbs and divine objects and threw it over. The Jin Ling Dragon wasn't really hungry; it just needed energy.
However, to his astonishment, Jin Ling Dragon swallowed the cauldron whole without even looking at what was inside, gulping it down in one go.
After consuming it, Jin Ling Dragon's aura gradually increased, and his cultivation level visibly grew.
Ling Xiao was amazed. He had to admit, this was the potential of the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon, a top-tier divine beast.
"Dad... I'm still hungry."
Jin Ling Dragon resorted to his old trick, rubbing his belly and complaining of hunger; clearly, a large cauldron of divine medicine was far from enough to satisfy him.
Ling Xiao was speechless. He rubbed his temples. This wasn't a dragon; it was a bottomless pit.
"If you're hungry, just bear with it for now, I'll take you to find something to eat."
He felt that he couldn't feed himself alone, and he needed to work on other things.
Jin Ling Dragon nodded repeatedly, then transformed into a little girl with a full head of golden hair, accompanied by a flash of golden light.
His entire body shimmered with golden light, and he was completely naked.
"Let's go, Dad."
She smiled radiantly and tugged at Ling Xiao's sleeve.
Ling Xiao stared blankly, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "It's getting cold, put your clothes on."
To everyone's surprise, the dragon was female.
"Oh..."
Jin Ling Dragon tilted her head, then seemed to understand something, and conjured up a golden dress, making her look like a large-scale golden figurine.
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about where to get the supplies.
"I've got it! The most dangerous place is the safest place. Why don't we try the Thousand Autumn Realm?"
There are still many people there who remember him fondly.
