“Where have you been for the past few years?”
The red-headed ghost asked.
Su Zimo recounted his experiences on Divine Phoenix Island in a rough manner, including how he killed the three Golden Crow princes on Penglai Island as well as Hermit.
“Hermit,”
The Illumination Dragon Grand Elder focused his gaze. “If I’m not wrong, he should be this generation’s Saber Emperor.”
The red-headed ghost said in a deep voice, “Since your identity as a Dragon Phoenix has been exposed, it won’t be long before news of it spreads through Tianhuang Mainland. For the time being, don’t leave the Dragon Bone Valley.”
Once the news spread to the various forbidden grounds, it would definitely cause a huge uproar!
There was a high chance that experts of the primordial races would attack to kill Su Zimo the moment he showed himself!
It was the same as Night Spirit back then.
“Let’s head to the Ancestral Dragon Ground,”
Right then, the red-headed ghost said in a deep voice, “Let Long Mo and Long Cang go together! That’s the only place where they can grow at the fastest speed!”
If the other primordial races were to disregard everything and join forces to kill the Taboo Dragon Phoenix, the Dragon race alone would definitely not be able to defend against it!
The only way to tide through this calamity was to let the taboo grow as quickly as possible.
“Ancestral Dragon Ground?”
Su Zimo was momentarily stunned.
He had not stayed in the Dragon Bone Valley for long but he had never heard of such a place.
“That is a space opened up by the Dragon Phoenix of the primordial era back then. If the Ancestral Dragon of every generation could not transcend the tribulations and his lifespan was exhausted, he would be buried there,”
The red-headed ghost said in a deep voice, “The Ancestral Dragon Ground is filled with an extremely rich qi of the Ancestral Dragon. If you cultivate there, you’ll definitely require less effort for everything.”
“Why not let our clansmen cultivate there?”
Su Zimo could not help but ask.
The red-headed ghost sneered, “Do you think that the qi of the Ancestral Dragon is something that anyone can endure? If not for the fact that you’re a Dragon Phoenix and Long Cang is a five-clawed divine dragon, any other adult dragon at the Conjoint Body realm would explode and die inside!”
The Illumination Dragon Grand Elder said, “The taboo Dragon Phoenix of the primordial era should have left some legacies in the Ancestral Dragon Ground. Only your bloodline is qualified to inherit them.”
“Cultivate there. Unless the Dragon Bone Valley is destroyed, you’ll definitely be safe in the Ancestral Dragon Ground without any danger!”
“Alright!”
Su Zimo nodded.
With the Martial Dao True Body and Green Lotus True Body watching over Tianhuang Mainland, nothing major should happen to it.
“Go on, I still have to recuperate in seclusion,”
The red-headed ghost waved his hand.
“Follow me,”
The Illumination Dragon Grand Elder left the cave first with Su Zimo right behind.
Before long, the two of them arrived before the Ancestral Dragon Divine Pillar.
The Illumination Dragon Grand Elder released his spirit consciousness and sent out a series of messages.
Before long, the Grand Elders of the other four lineages arrived as well as Long Cang.
“Open the Ancestral Dragon Ground and send Long Mo and Long Cang in,”
The Illumination Dragon Grand Elder said in a deep voice.
Under normal circumstances, the opening of the Ancestral Dragon Ground required the elders of the five lineages to discuss it together.
But now that Su Zimo was a Dragon Phoenix and Long Cang was a divine dragon of the five lineages, this was an unprecedented situation. Without hesitation, the five Grand Elders made the decision!
The spatial node of the Ancestral Dragon Ground was on the Ancestral Dragon Divine Pillar!
The five Grand Elders joined forces and pierced their fingertips respectively, squeezing out a drop of blood each. The blood landed in midair and transformed into a divine dragon that entered the Ancestral Dragon Divine Pillar!
Only the Ancestral Dragon bloodline of the five lineages could open up the Ancestral Dragon Ground!
Bang! Boom! Boom!
The Ancestral Dragon Divine Pillar swayed and immediately after, a massive cave gradually appeared on the gigantic stone pillar with an ancient aura.
“Long Mo, Long Cang, you guys can head in,”
The Illumination Dragon Grand Elder nodded slightly with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, feeling reassured.
Su Zimo and Long Cang exchanged glances and entered the cave without hesitation, disappearing from the Dragon Bone Valley.
It was an extremely desolate land!
From afar, there was no greenery to be seen.
In the distance, gigantic stone pillars that towered into the skies were erected; they had some words of the Dragon race etched on them.
An Ancestral Dragon was buried beneath every single stone pillar!
The stone pillars resembled tombstones of the human race.
The two of them had just arrived in this space when they felt an extremely powerful Ancestral Dragon qi surge into their bodies wildly, tempering and transforming their bodies!
“Yes!”
Long Cang grunted.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Almost in the blink of an eye, his skin exploded with streaks of blood appearing—he was drenched in blood!
The Ancestral Dragon qi here was left behind by the Ancestral Dragons of the past.
Under normal circumstances, only the Ancestral Dragon could cultivate here.
Conjoint Body Mighty Figures could not withstand it at all!
However, Long Cang was a five-clawed divine dragon after all. Although he was only at the Conjoint Body realm, his body and bloodline were already extremely strong. Under the baptism of the Ancestral Dragon Qi, he managed to survive and panted heavily!
On the other side, Su Zimo merely frowned. The Ancestral Dragon Qi entered his body and gradually fused with his body and bloodline without causing much of a reaction.
The difference between the two of them was clear!
“Still alright?”
Su Zimo turned and asked.
That pain was something he could not help with at all—Long Cang could only depend on himself to endure, resolve and comprehend it.
“Not bad, let’s go!”
Long Cang gritted his teeth and said.
His voice trembled slightly against the immense pain.
Su Zimo nodded and began walking towards the gigantic stone pillars in the distance.
With every few steps, he frowned.
The deeper one ventured into the Ancestral Dragon Ground, the richer and more berserk the Ancestral Dragon qi became!
After taking a few steps, even his Dragon Phoenix body felt uncomfortable.
Su Zimo looked back.
True enough!
Long Cang had a pained expression and could no longer hold on. The green veins on his neck popped out and he suddenly growled deeply. Transforming to his true form, he sprawled on the ground and panted heavily to neutralize the Ancestral Dragon qi in his body.
“I can’t advance anymore,”
Long Cang’s voice was a little weak. “Young master, walk forward yourself. Be careful.”
“Alright,”
Su Zimo nodded and continued forward.
As he gradually ventured deeper into the Ancestral Dragon Ground, the Ancestral Dragon qi became richer and surged into his body wildly, baptizing his bloodline and body continuously!
By the time Su Zimo arrived in front of the cemetery, his Dragon Phoenix body was already at its limits.
His forehead was filled with sweat and scarlet scales grew on his body one after another—he was on the verge of transforming into his true form!
“Mmm? There’s a junior that can reach here?”
Suddenly, Su Zimo heard a soft exclamation.
He turned towards the voice.
At the entrance of the cemetery, an old man in his twilight years was looking at him. With a hunched and skinny body, he held a broom in his hands as though he was cleaning up the cemetery.
There was a strange power in the old man’s gaze.
The Ancestral Dragon Qi in Su Zimo’s body exploded instantly!
“Roar!”
Su Zimo roared into the skies and reverted to his true form. With a dragon’s body, phoenix’s tail and a gigantic pair of scarlet wings on his back, his entire body blazed with raging flames!
The qi of the Ancestral Dragon coiled and its might spread, causing the entire Ancestral Dragon Ground to tremble!
“Taboo Dragon Phoenix!”
The old man narrowed his eyes.
