An Lin turned toward the golden liquid in the distance, and from it, he detected a boundless dao realm that was unfathomable even to him.
He instinctively tried to approach it, only to be forced to come to a halt by a burst of powerful dragon might.
“Beings without Dragon Tribe bloodlines will be kept out by the Dragon Dao Pond. Please stop here, Mr. An Lin,” Sheng Jin explained.
He knew that Xu Xiaolan was a half-dragon, but An Lin was a human.
An Lin hesitated momentarily before nodding and was just about to take a couple of steps back when a burst of power suddenly surged forth from his body.
The dragon might from the Dragon Dao Pond immediately disappeared after coming into contact with that burst of power.
The pressure on An Lin suddenly disappeared, and he made his way forward without any obstruction.
“This!” Sheng Jin stared at the advancing An Lin with a shocked expression. “Wait! Stop right there! You’re a human, you can’t approach the Dragon Dao Pond!”
“Why?” An Lin turned and splayed his hands open. “The Dragon Dao Pond was initially keeping me out, but that’s no longer the case.”
Sheng Jin opened his mouth, but he didn’t have a response to this. In the end, he could only offer some futile resistance. “But… but you’re a human…”
Kun Gu interjected at this moment. “There is no rule stating that humans can’t enter the Dragon Dao Pond.”
“There must be a reason why the Dragon Dao Pond is not rejecting Senior An Lin. In other words, the Dragon Dao Pond has acknowledged Senior An Lin, so why can’t he enter the Dragon Dao Pond?”
Sheng Jin was the caretaker of the Dragon Dao Pond, so he was naturally aware of this. However, it was simply blasphemous for an outsider to set foot in the Dragon Dao Pond!
“Kun Gu’s right. Let’s respect the Dragon Dao Pond’s choice.” Bai Xue made the final, executive decision on the matter.
Sheng Jin could only grit his teeth and allow An Lin to continue onward.
“If Master Azure Dragon is still alive, you wouldn’t be able to do this…” Sheng Jin grumbled in a quiet voice, clearly still quite displeased.
Both Bai Xue and Chi Yu had heard Sheng Jin, but they both pretended to not have heard anything.
As for An Lin, he didn’t care. He knew that the reason the Dragon Dao Pond was not rejecting him was most likely due to the little black dragon in his sea of vital energy…
Xu Xiaolan appraised An Lin with curious eyes, as if she were wondering whether An Lin was a dragon human, just as she was.
An Lin could tell what Xu Xiaolan was thinking, and he met her gaze before shaking his head to indicate that that was not the case.
The two of them arrived beside the Dragon Dao Pond.
An Lin was struck by the feeling that he was truly seeing an eternal azure dragon as he looked at the winding lake before him.
When they arrived by the golden patch of lake water, the earth suddenly surged before two little azure dragons stuck out their heads from the ground below.
These two little azure dragons were several meters in length with golden dragon horns and azure scales. Their bodies emanated an ethereal aura, as if they were not beings of this world.
An Lin’s heart jolted with shock. These two little azure dragons were powerful beings at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage and they had even managed to escape the detection of his divine sense!
“Elder Sheng Jin, have you brought someone else here? If I recall correctly, it has not yet been a hundred years,” one of the little azure dragons said in a female voice.
Sheng Jin bowed respectfully. “We owe a debt to Ms. Xu Xiaolan here, so we have made a special exception for her and allowed her to access the Dragon Dao Pond in order to repay her for her kindness.”
“Then what’s the deal with that human? How did he get in here?” the female azure dragon asked in an unfriendly voice.
“The restrictions of the Dragon Dao Pond are ineffective to him, so he came in,” Sheng Jin explained with a gloating expression.
He was unable to contest the decision of the guardian deities, but these two little azure dragons were the closest descendants of the Patriarch Azure Dragon. They had reached the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage at a very young age and possessed limitless potential. In fact, they had very high hopes of becoming God of Creation Stage dragons!
In terms of status, they transcended beyond even the two guardian deities, Bai Xue and Chi Yu. If they insisted on expelling An Lin from this place, even Chi Yu and Bai Xue would have to oblige.
Sheng Jin turned toward An Lin, and sure enough, there was a hint of shock and awkwardness on his face. Sheng Jin was a little elated to see this.
Patriarch Azure Dragon was one of the most powerful beings, even among Gods of Creation. His most powerful descendants were certainly forces to be reckoned with, and their combined power could even strike fear into the hearts of some weaker Gods of Creation. It appeared that An Lin had also been intimidated by them.
“Papa!”
“Daddy!”
Two voices suddenly erupted, cutting off Sheng Jin’s train of thought.
The two little azure dragons revolved around An Lin with elated expressions, hailing him as their father in tender voices…
Sheng Jin’s mouth gaped open, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
Kun Gu, Bai Xue, and Chi Yu were also dumbstruck.
As was Xu Xiaolan.
All of them stared blankly at the scenes unfolding before their eyes, and their minds turned completely blank.
“Papa!” the male azure dragon yelled.
“Daddy…” The female azure dragon cried, “Are you our dad?”
The two azure dragons revolved around An Lin in an extremely intimate manner, completely devoid of the majesty and prestige they had earlier possessed.
“Wh… what’s going on?” Bai Xue’s calm and collected facade finally crumbled as her eyes widened in astonishment.
“He’s not your father! Your father… he left in pursuit of a higher level of power right after you were born…” Sheng Jin explained in a panicked voice with an expression of grief and indignation on his face.
He had thought that Master Azure Dragon’s descendants would be able to show An Lin his place, but these little azure dragons were now calling An Lin daddy?
Sheng Jin didn’t know if An Lin was astonished, but he was certainly very much astonished.
What the hell is going on?!
“Nonsense! This is clearly Daddy’s aura.” The female azure dragon harrumphed.
“Bloodlines don’t lie! I can feel a bloodline connection with him!” the male azure dragon insisted.
All of the Dragon Tribe super mighty figures present were completely dumbstruck and befuddled.
Xu Xiaolan also turned toward An Lin with a bewildered expression, as if to ask, “When did you do this?”
“Xiaolan! I’m innocent! I’m still a virgin!” An Lin was on the verge of throwing up blood. He immediately turned his attention to his sea of vital energy to discover that the little black dragon within was nodding with a benevolent expression.
