Chapter 466: Chapter 354 Dragon Clan Ancestral Ground_1
Li Cheng recognized the Divine Dragon, wasn't it the middle-aged man he had fished with by the lake a few days ago?
Although the middle-aged man had transformed into a dragon's shape, Li Cheng did not mistake him.
The aura he emitted, no weaker than the First Elder of the Dragon Clan, left Li Cheng astonished, for that was at least the cultivation of Complete Divine Emperor's Realm!
Disguising a Complete Divine Emperor's Realm cultivation as Heaven God State must require some special treasure to conceal his divine qi, otherwise Li Cheng should have been able to tell.
With such cultivation, and given Wushuan's company, Li Cheng instantly thought of the Fourth Prince that Wushuan had mentioned, could it be him?
Without overthinking, who he was didn't matter to Li Cheng, now that the Dragon Emperor was about to complete his transformation and had already stepped into the Divine Emperor's Realm, it was time for the Dragon Clan to fulfill their promise.
Looking at the Dragon Emperor, his vast body seemed to become a vortex, endlessly absorbing Divine Qi, and he was clearly in a state of Enlightenment, with the rule of Devouring extremely active.
The Devouring Ancient Dragon and the rule of Devouring were inherently compatible, making it easy to comprehend, and in the state of Enlightenment, his efficiency far surpassed Li Cheng's.
Moreover, having integrated with the bloodline for years, he had comprehended most of the rule of Devouring, and at that moment, in the state of Enlightenment, Li Cheng could sense that the Dragon Emperor had at least two Laws that were complete!
If he could make the rule of Devouring complete while in the state of Enlightenment, then he would have at least three complete Laws.
The Dragon Emperor had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, earlier than Blunt Empty Venerable, having arrived in the Divine Realm hundreds of millions of years ago, the Laws he comprehended would naturally be numerous.
After half a day had passed, the Dragon Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, and a dragon's roar burst forth from his mouth, dispersing the auspicious clouds in the sky!
The extraordinary phenomenon that had affected the entire Divine Realm also dissipated.
"Congratulations, Uncle Master!" Li Cheng bowed to the Dragon Emperor and said with a smile.
The Dragon Emperor transformed back into human form and landed beside Li Cheng. Before he could speak, the Dragon Clan members finally began to move freely, turning into human form and rushing over, the First Elder's voice arrived before he did, "Well done, son of the Confucius Ancestor!"
The voice carried anger, yet it was a kind of rage that did not dare to express itself openly. His figure landed, glaring fiercely at Li Cheng, yet he didn't dare to strike.
The Dragon Emperor gave Li Cheng a meaningful glance, then turned to the First Elder, "Ao Cang has met the First Elder!"
The First Elder quickly bowed, "Not at all, not at all, I've met the Dragon Emperor!"
The Dragon Emperor was somewhat surprised, as he had not expected that after becoming the Devouring Ancient Dragon, even the First Elder who oversaw the Dragon Clan would lower his stance so much!
"I have met the Dragon Emperor!"
The Fourth Prince, Ao Wuzhan, leading a group of senior members, also bowed respectfully one after another.
Li Cheng gave a mocking smile, and then his expression became serious as he said, "Uncle Master, there is something I must discuss with you."
As he spoke, Li Cheng turned to the First Elder, "Before, I had reached an agreement with the Dragon Clan, as long as I passed on the Devouring Ancient Dragon bloodline inheritance to the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan would..."
"You are just playing with this Elder! You had already given the bloodline inheritance to the Dragon Emperor, and yet you deliberately stated those conditions?" The First Elder interrupted Li Cheng, huffing coldly.
Ao Wuzhan stepped forward and laughed heartily, "Haha, Li Cheng, don't worry, we of the Dragon Clan keep our promises, we will handle it right away!"
As he spoke, he looked toward the First Elder.
The First Elder clenched his teeth secretly but was helpless. If Li Cheng had given the bloodline inheritance to any Divine Dragon below the Divine Emperor, the First Elder might still have had a chance to seize it, but it was different with the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor was already of the Divine Emperor's Realm cultivation, and with this powerful bloodline, the First Elder admitted he was no match for the Dragon Emperor.
If he could not beat him, how could he seize it?
Among the crowd, the Fourth Prince was also grinding his teeth in frustration, the bloodline inheritance was out of reach now!
"What's the matter, First Elder, am I wrong?" Seeing the First Elder not responding, Ao Wuzhan spoke again.
The First Elder then regained his composure and bowed to Li Cheng, "Please rest assured, Divine Venerable Li, since the Devouring Ancient Dragon bloodline inheritance has already reached the Dragon Emperor's hands, that means it is with the Dragon Clan, and we shall not renege on our word."
After speaking, the First Elder glanced around, "Fellow Elders, follow me to the Divine Court!"
The Elders quickly bowed to take their leave, following the First Elder as he departed.
Only then did the Dragon Emperor curiously ask, "What condition did you propose? The First Elder does not seem happy."
"First, on behalf of the Monster Race, to apologize to the Wan Race of the Divine Realm because when the God Race attacked, your Monster Race did not come out to contribute to the Divine Realm's defense. Second, to open Dragon Island, the Dragon Clan from now on shall not forbid in-depth interactions with the Human Tribe, nor interfere with the signing of contracts with humans!" said Li Cheng.
The Dragon Emperor smiled and nodded slightly, "You have done what I wanted to. After coming to the Divine Realm, I also realized that the Dragon Clan was closing itself off, which is simply not beneficial to its development."
Ao Wuzhan clutched his fists, taking over the conversation, "The Dragon Emperor may not know, it's not that we wanted to close off, but there has been a problem with our ancestral land!"
Wushuan glanced at Ao Wuzhan, knowing that the time had come for her elder brother to speak the truth.
Sure enough, upon his words, both the Dragon Emperor and Li Cheng turned their attention to Ao Wuzhan.
Ao Wuzhan waved his hand to the princes, "All of you, step back!"
In an instant, only the four of them, including Li Cheng, were left in the area. Only then did Ao Wuzhan say, "Our ancestors buried the Divine Emperors who died from our clan. Over countless years, some Dragon Corpses have developed new Spiritual Wisdom and become the Corpse Clan!"
The Dragon Emperor's brows rose, "Shouldn't be possible, right? Without the nourishing of dead qi, how could they become the Corpse Clan?"
Ao Wuzhan's expression turned grave, nodding, "Indeed, we suspect that someone is secretly causing trouble, which is why my Father Emperor risked entering to investigate but ended up trapped inside."
"We heard about the incident at the Outer Great Wall in previous years, but the Elder Group said there was unrest in our clan, we did not get involved, thus we pressed the Monster Race not to go and assist."
