Chapter 1826: Chapter 1826: The Initial Tribulation of Dragons and Phoenixes

Before the Ancestor Dragon Soul.

A group of figures in black robes trembled uncontrollably. Unable to withstand the overwhelming bloodline suppression, they collapsed to the ground as blood seeped through their robes, staining the black into crimson red.

The Ancestor Dragon was, after all, the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons.

The very first dragon that emerged after the heavens and earth split—a creation imbued with the essence of heaven’s fortune.

Even with nothing but a wisp of its soul remaining, the bloodline power it exuded was far beyond the capacity of ordinary beings to endure.

Only a man dressed in white stood calmly before the Ancestor Dragon’s soul. With an indifferent tone, he said, "And what can you do now? With just this wisp of a soul, if you dare to strike, it will dissipate completely. Once your soul is scattered without entering reincarnation, won’t it be far too great a loss for you?

Moreover, even if you were to perish fighting, that final attack wouldn’t affect me in the slightest."

Rage burned in the vertical pupils of the Ancestor Dragon’s eyes. Yet, as much as it infuriated him, the man in white wasn’t wrong. His current strength was only a faint echo of his prime. If he were in his full glory, he wouldn’t have tolerated such provocation.

"Take this message to your Immortal Realm: you had better keep yourselves in check. Over the years, you should have understood your place, no? If you push things too far, the consequences won’t be as simple as a slap on the wrist," the Ancestor Dragon spoke.

Hearing this, the man in white’s expression darkened.

This seemed to touch upon a sore spot for them.

"So, you just want us in the Immortal Realm to act as your whetstone? Very well, then. We’ll play the role as you wish. But whether the blade will break during sharpening, well, that remains to be seen."

At this, the man in white waved his hand.

A surge of immense Divine Energy descended upon the figures in black robes.

The suffocating bloodline suppression weighing on their shoulders instantly dissipated.

"Alright, you may leave. Proceed with the plan as usual, and ensure there are no mistakes."

The lead figure in the black robes nodded, casting a wary glance at the Ancestor Dragon before slightly bowing to the man in white. He then led his group skyward, departing the Hidden Dragon Abyss one after another.

The man in white shot a deep glance at the Ancestor Dragon Soul, leaving behind one final remark: "Besides... no one is ever truly willing to remain a whetstone forever, least of all the Immortal Realm."

With that, he turned and walked into the cave. When the space distorted and rippled, his presence completely vanished.

The Ancestor Dragon stared intently at the cave entrance. But in his current state, there was nothing he could do. He could only let out a heavy sigh.

"Feeling helpless, aren’t you? It’s rare to hear you, old relic, sigh."

The Ancestor Dragon was momentarily taken aback before seeing two figures draped in black robes approaching slowly.

Though the robes concealed their faces and forms, the Ancestor Dragon sneered, "With the Dharma Seals of the Golden Chains binding this place, are you telling me you couldn’t stop them from breaking through? Or perhaps you, you old bastard, defected to the Immortal Realm?"

How typical—it seemed only the Xuan Master would call the Ancestor Dragon an old relic.

The Xuan Master removed his hood, his expression dark. "And what about you? You were supposed to keep watch over the Divine Realm Channel, and yet it still ended up breached, didn’t it?"

Beside him, Xu Yeming listened to the two illustrious elders bicker. Though his mind was filled with complaints, he wisely kept his lips sealed.

Why? Because he couldn’t win in a fight.

"Alright, we know well enough about the methods they used. There’s no need for us to blame each other." The Ancestor Dragon fixed his gaze on the Xuan Master and said calmly, "By the looks of it, your life span issue has been resolved? Your cultivation seems to have improved as well. Did you chance upon some fortuitous opportunity?"

The Xuan Master nodded, casting a glance at Xu Yeming beside him. "Thanks to his master."

Finally, the Ancestor Dragon shifted his gaze to Xu Yeming, his expression odd.

To be able to solve the Xuan Master’s life span crisis—this master of his was no ordinary figure, it seemed.

But the Ancestor Dragon did not ask further.

People would speak if they wished to disclose things.

He simply gave Xu Yeming a slight nod and said, "I owe your master a favor. Naturally, should you ever need assistance, you can come find me."

The Xuan Master rolled his eyes, quipping, "You old fossil, but what can you actually do in your current state as just a soul wisp?"

This time, the Ancestor Dragon did not retort. Instead, he sighed deeply. "During that battle long ago, my body was utterly destroyed, leaving only this soul wisp behind. If I still possessed my full strength, how could those people even dream of overstepping their bounds now?"

Hearing this, a thought suddenly emerged in Xu Yeming’s mind.

"Senior, do you feel unwilling?" Xu Yeming asked.

The Ancestor Dragon gave him a curious look, then nodded. "I have the will but lack the strength. Of course I’m unwilling."

Xu Yeming chuckled. "Perhaps I have a way to help you settle the score in your heart. However, I’ll need to seek my master’s permission."

Upon hearing this, a dazzling light erupted in the Ancestor Dragon’s eyes.

For a moment, an overwhelming dragon’s might burst forth uncontrollably.

It was as if the sky were collapsing, pressing heavily on Xu Yeming’s shoulders.

If the Xuan Master hadn’t immediately shielded Xu Yeming from this dragon’s might, he would have been gravely injured on the spot.

"Pardon my excitement," the Ancestor Dragon chuckled awkwardly before asking, "Though I don’t know what you’re planning, if you can truly help me reconstruct my body or restore my power so I’m no longer confined to this abyss, I will reward you handsomely!"

Xu Yeming nodded.

In truth, Xu Yeming had his own motivations.

Here was a ready-made, immensely powerful enforcer!

Furthermore, this Ancestor Dragon likely knew countless secrets—secrets his master would most certainly be interested in.

His master had always told him to stay vigilant regarding matters of the Immortal Realm.

Thinking of this, Xu Yeming took out a voice transmission jade pendant and sent a message to his master.

Lu Changsheng’s irritated voice came through.

"Seriously? You little rascals always seem to summon me when I’m trying to sleep, don’t you?"

Lu Changsheng felt his patience dwindling as his irritation grew over time. If only Liu Ziru were around.

After Xu Yeming explained the situation, he added, "Master, while you’re at it, could you bring the Candle Dragon along too?"

Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows, skepticism evident in his tone. "Can this old dragon be trusted?"

Xu Yeming considered for a moment before replying, "If worst comes to worst, Master, you could always use your usual trick and implant a restriction in his soul, couldn’t you?"

The Ancestor Dragon’s face instantly darkened upon hearing this.

But, for the sake of escaping his current plight, he endured.

Who would willingly let someone implant a restriction in their soul? Let alone a supreme existence like the Ancestor Dragon.

Lu Changsheng thought it over and agreed to the idea.

Leaving a curt "Wait for me," he abruptly ended the transmission.

Not long after.

Approximately the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn passed.

Three figures appeared simultaneously beside Xu Yeming.

A man in white, an extraordinarily beautiful woman dressed in fiery red robes, and a... massive dragon.

The man in white was, of course, Lu Changsheng.

The other two were Huang Qian and Candle Dragon.

The Ancestor Dragon’s gaze swept over the trio, filled with suspicion.

The Candle Dragon, too, regarded the Ancestor Dragon with heavy caution.

Though both were of the Dragon Clan...

The Candle Dragon Bloodline and Ancestor Dragon Bloodline were each among the most supreme bloodlines in the Dragon Clan.

Moreover, the Candle Dragon’s bloodline also contained Divine Phoenix Essence Blood and Lu Changsheng’s own blood essence.

The Ancestor Dragon was intrigued that another dragon could resist the suppression of his bloodline.

Ultimately, his gaze lingered on Huang Qian.

"A descendant of the Divine Phoenix? What relation is Huang Lisi to you?"

Huang Qian frowned and replied, "She is my ancestor. It seems senior is the one who perished alongside her back then?"

The Dragon-Phoenix Calamity.

The war between the master of the Dragon Clan and the master of the Phoenix Clan. The battle that ended with both sides perishing, leading to the dissolution of the two clans.

There existed an unresolvable grudge between the two...
