“Alas,” Ying Long gazed into his cup of wine, his eyes filled with helplessness, “Everyone understands the principle, but the inertia of desire is hard to curb, and indeed, the root of the problem lies in the fact that the dragon eggs are all stillborn, there is barely any hope left, merely a desperate clinging to life.”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor lifted his chin towards Li Ping’an and spoke in a gentle voice:

“My inability to help you does not mean the Heavenly Emperor cannot.

It all depends on the choices your Dragon Clan makes.”

“I’m aware of why you returned to the Ancient Dragon Realm back then; the Dragon Clan was afraid of being embroiled in the conflicts of the Great Sects and of offending the two Sect Hierarchs of the Western Sect.”

“Now the opportunity is right before your eyes, don’t say I didn’t look after you.”

Ying Long forced a smile and said, “The decision ultimately rests with the Clan Leader and the elders.

At most, I am merely a half-strategist within the clan, and…

I must remind the Heavenly Emperor…”

“During such an informal banquet, the divine generals can just call me Ping’an.”

“Ping’an Heavenly Emperor it is, but etiquette must not be neglected.”

Ying Long pondered for a moment:

“Just before I came here, several Dragon Clan elders had already sent word that they wish to have their younger generation spar with you.”

“Don’t laugh at this…

It’s hard for me to explain what they are thinking, but this is indeed a terrible idea from those elders who feel in their bones that they are the supreme lords of heaven and earth, questioning why the seat of the Heavenly Emperor should not be occupied by a member of the Dragon Clan.”

“Many ancient dragons are beyond communication now, their minds are filled with the dominance of the Desolate Era, the glory of the Dragon Clan, they are the ones who bully other races the most.”

“In fact, in their view, even if the Dragon Clan has requests for the new Heavenly Emperor, it should be the new Heavenly Emperor who pleads with the Dragon Clan.”

Li Ping’an almost laughed out loud.

These old dragons of the Dragon Clan were quite amusing.

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor frowned and said, “Isn’t this causing unnecessary trouble?

What status does Ping’an hold?

If his ministers are here they might intervene, but if he personally steps in, aren’t you afraid of accidentally injuring Ping’an and inviting divine retribution?”

Ying Long said, “Our race is naturally warlike, if Ping’an Heavenly Emperor can demonstrate the power of the Heavenly Dao and suppress a dragon of the same realm, that would certainly deter them.”

“Eh?” Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor expressed his doubt, “This sounds like an idea you came up with yourself.”

“How would I give you such trouble with the young generation you brought!” Ying Long solemnly said:

“I am simply reminding His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor that there might be such a challenge during our feast later.

Please prepare in advance.”

“On the Dragon Clan’s side, although we have no dragons at the Heavenly Immortal Realm…

even the weakest dragon is at the late stages of the Golden Immortal Realm, because it has been many years since any dragons were born.”

“If Your Majesty indeed has concerns about these matters, please unleash your rage when the time comes.”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor frowned and said, “Those old dragons deserve a scolding.

If they want to compete, they can compete with me.

If there’s anyone in the Dragon Clan who can defeat me, I will build a bunch of temples in the East Continent for you afterward.”

Ying Long gave a wry smile and said, “Your Majesty, please don’t be angry.”

“It’s alright,” Li Ping’an took out a brand new half-face armor and put it on his head, “If they want to fight later, I will use this semi-public alias.

It’s only a problem if the Heavenly Emperor himself steps in.”

“Ah!

Dragon Clan battle skills are exceptional, among peers only the Pure-Blooded Witch Tribe can match them!” Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor reminded:

“This opportunity is indeed an opportunity, if you defeat dragons of the same realm and demonstrate the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor, but if you lose, then the Dragon Clan will have something to brag about everywhere.”

“No risk, no reward,” said Li Ping’an, narrowing his eyes slightly and turning to Ying Long, he spoke slowly:

“I have a condition too.

Those of the Ocean Race that the Dragon Clan wishes to execute, I’ve taken a liking to them.

Now that the Heavenly Court is just being established, not only the land but the seas too must be filled with thriving beings.”

“How about we arrange several more battles of the same realm, if I win, I will rescue some of the Ocean Race.”

“If I lose, we shall act as if this proposal was never made, how about that?”

Ying Long stood up and bowed ceremoniously, saying clearly, “What high nobility, Heavenly Emperor!

Whether we win or lose this friendly contest, I can promise that some of the rebellious Ocean Race elites will be rendered unto you as servants!”

“It’s wrong for the divine general to say that,” Li Ping’an sighed:

“Though beings are unequal, they should be treated with equality.”

“This solution is the simplest, saving me the trouble of further persuasion.

By the way, during the Magical Combat, can we use Spiritual Treasures?”

“Of course, of course.”

Li Ping’an revealed a slight smile.

It was a good time to test the power of the recently acquired supreme post-celestial merit Spiritual Treasure, the Spirit Banner.
