Chapter 226: Chapter 225 - Innate Dragon God

“This is really the Leize dragon god!”

Xin Huo looked through Zhong Yue’s eyes and mumbled, “Spirit of the Leize Clan… Brat Yue, can you feel the marvelous resonance in your blood? That is the resonance of the ancestral blood!”

Zhong Yue nodded; he had felt it right away. When the spirit of the Ancestral Dragon emerged, it felt like his blood had come to life, filled with joy and excitement. However, the Fuxi bloodline in his body was still too thin, the resonance was still weak and faint.

“Humans, we are indeed the Fuxis, the descendants of the Leize innate dragon gods…” he mumbled, “But why…why would such a saintly and powerful bloodline wane to such an extent…”

The Ancestral Dragon was the spirit of an innate dragon god of the Leize Clan. As he was worshipped by the Eastern Sea dragon race, he let out a deep and trembling dragon roar that covered the cacophonous symphony of the other musical instruments and chants.

The Ancestral Dragon’s eyes then blasted two golden light rays onto the altar.

“The pathway to the Void World!”

The dragons were excited, while the elderly Ao Clan’s clan master looked around and locked his brows. “The five of them all have divine weapons and yet, they still haven’t taken down Sha Qishan?”

The five he was referring to were the ones that were sent by the five clans to hunt down Sha Qishan in the demonic land.

Sha Qishan was a cultivated shark, and an incredibly strong magnate cultivator. If they could take him down and offer him to the Ancestral Dragon, the blessings they could get would be larger and better.

“Or maybe, we wait for a little longer?” the Jiao Clan’s clan master asked from the side.

Ao Clan’s clan master pondered and said, “Nevermind, let the disciples enter the Ancestral Dragon secret realm first. If the five of them manage to take down Sha Qishan and bring him back, we can still make it in time to sacrifice him. But if they can’t make it in time, then we will lock him away and keep him for another thirty years, until the next Ancestral Dragon Ritual.”

The clan masters all nodded and concurred. They could afford to drag and hold back other things, but never the Ancestral Dragon Ritual.

The Ancestral Dragon Ritual had started, the dragons sacrificed their offerings; if they dragged it on for too long, the blessings from the Ancestral Dragon would disappear, and the Ancestral Dragon would also depart back into the void!

The clan masters immediately summoned the selected disciples and said solemnly, “All disciples, enter the eyes of the Ancestral Dragon.”

Zhong Yue was one of them, he had been selected as one of the fifty Awakening Qi Practitioner dragons; the two hundred dragon disciples immediately moved, heading towards the golden light beams from the eyes of the Ancestral Dragon.

Shua——

The first one to enter the light beam suddenly disappeared, and was nowhere to be seen.

“Ey?”

Xin Huo was surprised, but mumbled, “There is a marvelous teleportation array formation in the eyes of the Ancestral Dragon, connecting it to another dimensional space, and those who step into the light beams will be teleported to that dimensional space. This Ancestral Dragon is very strong, it seems like this innate dragon god is way more ancient than I thought he would be. I thought that the common ancestor of the Eastern Sea dragon race would only be an ordinary member of the Leize Celestial Race…”

There were another few dragons that marched into the light beams and disappeared in a trice, leaving only a young female dragon that stood in the light beams, stunned and disbelieving, she was not teleported.

One of the Chi Clan elders raised her voice and said, “Come back, You’er. The Ancestral Dragon disapproves of your talents, you weren’t qualified to embrace his blessings.”

That young female dragon, whose name was You, was ashamed and ran out from the light beam, weeping bitter tears while the Chi Clan elder quickly approached to comfort her.

More dragon disciples were moving into the light beams; there were dozens of other disciples who were not chosen, not teleported to the other end.

“Long Yue, I’m looking forward to duelling with you!” Jiao Qingtu was at the other golden light beam, he cast his gaze over at Zhong Yue and spoke up in high spirits.

Zhong Yue, who was on the other golden beam, heard him and smiled, “I hear that the Jiao Dragon race is the most barbarous and savage in the battles, I’m also looking forward to a duel with you.”

Their eyes met for a split second before looking away, Jiao Qingtu walked into the light beam and disappeared instantly. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue also stepped into the light beam.

He slightly centered his weight down, readied himself for the teleportation but nothing happened, he was still in the golden light beam.

Am I not chosen?

Zhong Yue frowned; suddenly, he felt a surge as a direly strong psyche filled with ancient willpower scanned into each and every corner of his body, as if it was trying to dig out the darkest and deepest secrets inside him.

Outside, a slight smile transformed the Ao Clan’s clan master’s face while Ao Longan laughed, the two old dragons exchanged their gazes and clearly saw the complacency in their eyes.

Ao Longan thought to himself, Although the Ancestral Dragon has passed away for a long time and only his spirit is left behind, he was incredibly sensitive to the bloodline; this Zhong Shan Clan member is not a dragon at all, the Ancestral Dragon will never shower him with his blessings.

His feigned bloodline can deceive most of the dragons, but he will never be able to deceive the Ancestral Dragon. After all, all of the Eastern Sea dragon race are the descendants of the great Ancestral Dragon.

Ao Clan’s clan master was also proud of himself, This time he can’t enter the Ancestral Dragon secret realm, he can’t blame us, right? I’ve given him the chance, but it’s his problem that he can’t embrace it.

In the light beam, Zhong Yue’s face blushed in embarrassment, the other dragon disciples were moving continually into the light beams and were teleported away, but only he remained unmoving on the same spot.

One after another, the dragon disciples disappeared, and soon, he was the only one left on the altar.

Ao Fenglou also locked his brows, he faked a few coughs and was about to say a few words so that Zhong Yue could have a way out of the embarrassing situation. All of a sudden, dazzling golden rays erupted into the eyes of the dragon, followed by the mysterious disappearance of the lone dragon left in the golden light beam!

“What!?” the Ao Clan’s clan master, Ao Longan, and the others all exclaimed in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at the two golden light beams slowly dispersing, while Zhong Yue was nowhere to be seen on the altar!

The Ao Clan elders were shocked. The golden beams would only teleport the dragon race disciples, outsiders would never be teleported away, and yet, the golden beam teleported Zhong Yue away at the last second!

It was perfectly normal to the other dragons. After all, Long Yue was a dragon in their eyes. But only the elderly clan master and the others knew that Zhong Yue was completely unrelated to the dragon race; he was, in fact, a human disciple of Swords Gate!

Logically speaking, the Ancestral Dragon would never approve of Zhong Yue; but the Ancestral Dragon had just teleported him away right before their eyes, which meant he had somehow earned the approval of their great Ancestral Dragon!

How was that even possible?

“Old geezers of the Ao Clan, is your lot mad? A single disciple being approved by the Ancestral Dragon and teleported to the Ancestral Dragon secret realm, is there a need to act so shocked?”

The Jiao Clan, Chi Clan, and the other clan experts saw their expressions and were puzzled. The Yu Clan’s clan elder smirked and said, “What is with their expressions, it looks like they’ve seen a ghost, or something like that.”

The Ao Clan experts had indeed seen something even more bizarre than a ghost, they could not tell how or why Zhong Yue was teleported away. Even Ao Fenglou was stunned, not having the slightest clue about it.

“Did the Ancestral Dragon recognize the wrong person?”

Ao Fenglou was puzzled, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong is not a dragon, but a human, the Ancestral Dragon would never mistake him for a dragon. Could it be that Junior Martial Brother Zhong is also a dragon? No, no, it’s impossible, he is no doubt a human; so just exactly how did he deceive the Ancestral Dragon?”

Even the Ao Clan’s clan master could not understand it, they were cracking their heads to figure it out!

While Zhong Yue, on the other hand, was experiencing an even more bizarre situation than they could imagine.

When the Ancestral Dragon had teleported him out from the golden light beam, he appeared in a white space, there was nothing other than the bright white lights, and he could not see anything other than a white blank space.

There were no directions and no polarities.

“Is this the Ancestral Dragon secret realm?”

Zhong Yue glanced around and randomly walked forward, but there was still nothing other than the white lights. No matter how far he walked, he still could not see an end or an exit. Right when he stopped, an old and hoarse voice rang in his ears placidly, “Young child of the Fuxi celestial race living in dire straits, how can the great godly emperor bloodline in your body be so thin and weak, so faint that I nearly missed it? What do you seek from me?”

Zhong Yue glanced around, it sounded like the voice rang out from this bizarre space, but it also sounded as if it had spoken directly into his mind.

Zhong Yue bowed to the blank white space of emptiness before him and said, “Dear elder of the Leize celestial race, I’m looking for the ancestral blood.”

“Ancestral blood? You are looking for the blood of Leize, to restore the Fuxi Celestial Race bloodline?”

In the blank white empty space, two huge eyes emerged. The dragon eyes with slitted pupils converged and focused on him, while the placid voice spoke again, “Is that your wish? Well then, great preceptor, what is your wish?”

Preceptor? Is he talking about Xin Huo? How did he know that Xin Huo is in my psyche ocean?

Zhong Yue was stunned, while the voice continued saying, “… How many years has it been, you’ve never once appeared … and now, I see you again, with a young and poor Fuxi. Oh, the great preceptor, you don’t know yet, but the heavens have changed…”

Xin Huo leaped out from Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean, the little flame hovered before Zhong Yue and said in some surprise, “You know me?”

“I know you, the great preceptor left behind by the first Heavenly Monarch of the Fire Order Era to pass down his heritage, the inextinguishable Xin Huo.”

The two dragon eyes looked over Zhong Yue and Xin Huo, the voice of an ancient dragon who had gone through the vicissitudes of life echoed around them, “You’ve missed out on so many things — you’ve missed the tragedies that quaked the hearts of the wisest men; you’ve missed out on battles that shuddered the wills of the bravest warriors; you missed out on the changes that have taken place over the years. You’ve missed out on the transformation of the worlds. You don’t know yet, but this place is now nothing but the abandoned ruins of the gods; you don’t know about it, but the six paths have been set, and the worlds separated…”

“Stop the nonsense!” Xin Huo shouted, “Since you know who I am, then tell me, what has happened all these years during the time I was slumbering! Why has the Fuxi celestial race taken to such an extent? And how did the Ancestral Star of the Heavenly Monarch become an abandoned ruin of the gods?”

The voice went dead silent. After a long time, the voice slowly said, “I can’t tell you, or the heavenly rules will be violated, and I’ll be dispersed into nothingness. As for why this planet has become the abandoned ruins of the gods, you can find the answer you need in the Zi Wei Divine Court, that is where you will also find the pure-blooded Fuxi Celestial Race.”

Xin Huo sneered frigidly, “What heavenly rules? Utter bullsheet! If you don’t want to say it, fine, I’ll go to the Zi Wei Divine Court and find out myself. Also, since you know who I am, then what are you waiting for? Pass me the innate dragon god ancestral blood of the Leize Clan now, I need it!”

The voice gently laughed, “Of course, as the great preceptor, you can have the ancestral blood. However, the one you’ve chosen has to get it for himself. Hehe, the divine sovereign race, the great Fuxi bloodline, if your inheritor can’t even defeat my descendants, then he is not worthy to have the ancestral blood that I’ve left behind…”

“Go, young child of the Fuxi Celestial Race, prove yourself worthy of the ancestral blood of the Fuxi Celestial Race!”

A dizziness struck Zhong Yue, and in the next second, he was tossed out from that bizarre blank white empty space to a secret realm.

The first thing that came into his eyes was an ancient temple standing before him, with countless dragon gods soaring in the sky while chanting in the language of the dragons.
