Chapter 340: Chapter 336: Black Dragon Token

Amid the rumbling sounds, buildings started rising from the ground like ice breaking, and the Black Dragon Ancient Land, which appeared every five years, began to slowly unveil itself before everyone.

The most magical part was the beams of rosy light that burst forth.

Initially, Ye Zhen thought these bursts of rosy light were just that, but oddly enough, once they ascended, they began to converge in the high sky.

Each beam gathered and stayed together aloft, and gradually, one beam after another coalesced into a huge cluster of rosy light a thousand zhang long, emitting a series of oppressive auras.

"Dragon?"

"A Dragon Form of radiant glow?" Ye Zhen was somewhat stunned as he realized what was happening.

Suddenly, a large cluster of light flew to where the dragon’s head would be, and a dragon made of rosy light, with claws bared and teeth showing, starkly appeared in front of everyone; its two enormous eyes of rosy light actually seemed to be moving.

When Ye Zhen looked, the eyes of the rosy light dragon seemed to move slightly and looked back at him.

That glance sent a shock through Ye Zhen’s mind.

But when Ye Zhen focused again, the massive eyes no longer showed any signs of movement.

"An illusion?"

"Roar!"

Almost simultaneously, the celestial dragon of rosy light suddenly came to life as if animate, twisting its body and emitting a dragon roar that shook everyone to their core.

Underneath the dragon’s roar, the rumbling sounds of the earth shaking abruptly stopped, and the Black Dragon Ancient Land that had just emerged from the ground suddenly became utterly stable.

In the midst of the dragon roar, everyone’s expression turned solemn; however, what surprised Ye Zhen most was the reaction of the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub.

As the dragon roar sounded, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub immediately started trembling uncontrollably, huddling up as if it had encountered its greatest fear, and that was not all.

Ye Zhen felt that, as the dragon roar sounded, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub in his arms was actually prostrating itself, as common people would when greeting a monarch.

This discovery greatly shocked Ye Zhen.

This dragon roar was real, imbued with a dragon’s might!

If it weren’t infused with a dragon’s might, the roar could not have possibly terrified the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub like this! Just now, when several Heavenly Level mounts fell from the sky, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub had shown no reaction whatsoever.

Ye Zhen glanced around and saw that whether it was Qiyun Sect’s Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon or Phantom Divine Sect’s Wind Spirit Red-crowned Crane, all were subdued under this one dragon roar, even the Heavenly Level Wind Spirit Red-crowned Crane.

They were all kneeling, bowing their heads, prostrating as if to welcome their monarch.

This caused Ye Zhen’s expression to turn grave.

Ye Zhen had initially thought that the Black Dragon Ranking of the Black Dragon Ancient Land was just a traditional ranking battle passed down over the years, possibly backed by the major sects or hidden noble families.

But Ye Zhen was wrong.

This one roar alone, capable of subduing a Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beast, definitely couldn’t be fabricated by humans.

Humans are easy to deceive, but the innate oppressive might of a demon beast’s bloodline isn’t.

As the long dragon roar continued, all the Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists present turned their gazes towards the dragon shadow formed by the light in the sky, including Thousand Illusion Eagle King and Xie Lv, even the distant Zhii Sheng and the elders from their own sect, all watched eagerly, as if anticipating something.

The answer was revealed in the next moment.

During the dragon roar, the huge dragon’s mouth continuously spat out one beam of golden light after another that solidified in the void into twelve exquisite and convex tokens, visible clearly to the observers present thanks to their Eye Power.

On the golden tokens, a rampant Black Dragon was seen majestically rearing its head and roaring!

Almost simultaneously with the appearance of the tokens, a fervent glint emerged in the eyes of all the Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists, including the Seventh Elder, Zhongli Jing.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In the next moment, eleven of the twelve Black Dragon Tokens flew down, targeting the powerful Soul Sea Realm beings in the crowd.

A Black Dragon Token abruptly hovered above the head of Thousand Illusion Eagle King; in an instant, the token turned into golden light and merged into the body of Thousand Illusion Eagle King, who then began to emit a mysterious and indefinable aura.

A look of wild joy appeared on the face of Thousand Illusion Eagle King, who then fell to the ground and began to cultivate immediately, surrounded quickly by the other elders and disciples of Phantom Divine Sect who came forward to protect him.

What surprised Ye Zhen was that Xie Lv from Qingluo Sect also managed to receive the favor of a Black Dragon Token; when the token entered his body, he immediately sat down cross-legged to cultivate.

Ye Zhen could sense that both Thousand Illusion Eagle King and Xie Lv, after the Black Dragon Tokens had merged into their bodies, had significantly more solidified auras, especially Thousand Illusion Eagle King.

"Let’s go, keep some distance!"

While saying this, Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing looked at the eleven people who were sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes filled with envy.

"Ah, with today’s Black Dragon Token empowerment, in five or six years, Phantom Divine Sect might have one or even two Martial Artists reaching the Vein Forging Realm." Zhongli Jing sighed.

"Such a pity, Old Zhong, if you had received a Black Dragon Token, your hidden injuries could have been healed, and you might have even progressed further," Second Elder Jis Che said.

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Jing could only give a bitter smile.

"Elders, what exactly are these Black Dragon Tokens?" Ye Zhen couldn’t hide his curiosity and asked.

As Ye Zhen spoke, a streak of light suddenly burst through the sky; as soon as the streak entered the range of the Black Dragon Ancient Land, the last remaining Black Dragon Token flashed towards it and instantly merged into that person’s body.

"Stars Building Master Hai Luoshuang?"

When Ye Zhen clearly saw who it was, he was shocked once again.

Ye Zhen realized that this time, those who could receive the Black Dragon Token were almost exclusively powerful Soul Sea Realm warriors from the top forces within the Black Dragon Domain.

His puzzled gaze turned again toward Second Elder Jis Che.

"Ye Zhen, I do not know the level of your Cultivation, but, if you could break into the top ten of the Black Dragon Ranking, perhaps it could provide a chance for Elder Zhongli to fully recover his Cultivation," he said.

"How so?"

Upon hearing Second Elder Jis Che say this, a flicker of hope suddenly appeared on the face of Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing.

"This first has to start from the Black Dragon Token...."

The Black Dragon Ancient Land is the most mysterious Secret Realm within the Black Dragon Domain, its secrets have been passed down for over a thousand years, with no one able to penetrate them.

There are many rumors. It is said that the Black Dragon Ancient Land was transformed from an Ancient Black Dragon after its fall; some say it is a prison where a Black Evil Dragon is imprisoned by the heavens; others say it was the cultivation residence of the Black Dragon Emperor thousands of years ago....

The origin of the Black Dragon Ancient Land is unknown, but the secrets of the Black Dragon Token have been partially unraveled by many martial artists over the millennia.

Every time the Black Dragon Ancient Land opens, that Dragon Form Radiant Glow will emit twelve Black Dragon Tokens.

The initial function of the Black Dragon Token was to allow twelve individuals to oversee various competitions within the Black Dragon Ancient Land. The bearers of the Black Dragon Token could freely enter and exit the competition venue and would inexplicably know some mysterious information to guide and manage the competition.

However, later on, it was discovered that there was a pattern to who could receive the Black Dragon Token.

This pattern was the ranking in the Black Dragon Ranking.

The warriors ranked in the top ten of the Black Dragon Ranking and the Soul Sea Realm powerhouses from their Sects or families would each receive a Black Dragon Token based on their ranking.

However, apart from the first position, there was not much difference.

The martial artists ranked second to tenth in the Black Dragon Ranking, and their respective Sects or families would all receive one Black Dragon Token as a reward, whereas the first position in the Black Dragon Ranking would receive three!

Moreover, only Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists were able to merge with the Black Dragon Token; it was impossible for others to merge.

It is said that when the Black Dragon Ancient Land first opened a thousand years ago, many Sects wasted this opportunity, especially the Sect that obtained the first position in the Black Dragon Ranking. Only one person came and merged with one Black Dragon Token, wasting the other two.

What a pity and heartache it was.

The heartache was related to another function of the Black Dragon Token.

A thousand years ago, over the centuries since the opening of the Black Dragon Ancient Land, many people suddenly discovered that all the martial artists who had merged with the Black Dragon Token had greatly advanced their Cultivation. A portion of them even unexpectedly stepped into the Vein Forging Realm.

As more doubts piled up and the competition for the Black Dragon Ranking became increasingly fierce, the secret burst forth.

The main purpose of merging the Black Dragon Token into one’s body was to possess the qualifications to host the entire competition. Besides allowing the mergee to host the contest, the Black Dragon Token also bestowed some benefits on them.

Or rather, it was the reward for hosting the contest.

Replenish the Origin!

Whether it was Innate Bloodline Spiritual Energy, Divine Soul Origin, or any innate Bloodline deficit, it would be replenished, and not only that, it would be enhanced to some extent after replenishing.

After breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm, whether it be Divine Soul Origin or Innate Bloodline Spiritual Energy, there would inevitably be consumption and deficits, especially with Innate Bloodline Spiritual Energy.

And Vein Forging had an even higher demand for Innate Bloodline Spiritual Energy.

In such circumstances, the Black Dragon Token, which could replenish and even enhance Innate Bloodline Spiritual Energy, instantly became a heavenly Spiritual Object in the eyes of all Soul Sea Realm powerhouses.

Some even attempted to steal a Black Dragon Token during their time in the Black Dragon Ancient Land.

However, all efforts were in vain.

No matter how powerful one was, they could not steal the Black Dragon Token, and there was even a time when a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse tried to steal a Black Dragon Token for an elder of his Sect. The result was that— he suffered backlash from the Black Dragon Token and his meridians were severed.

Thus, due to this heaven-defying function of replenishing lost origin, the Black Dragon Ranking instantly became one of the most ferocious rankings within the Black Dragon Domain.

Even if the disciples did not want to compete, for the sake of their masters, elders, or even their Sect, they had to fight desperately.

The winner of the last Black Dragon Ranking was the genius disciple Jiao Fanmo of the Phantom Divine Sect!

Therefore, this time when the Black Dragon Ancient Land opened, the Phantom Divine Sect was able to get three Black Dragon Tokens.

In general, all the major Empires within the Black Dragon Domain managed to obtain Black Dragon Tokens, the Qingluo Sect obtained one, Sword Origin Sect of the Sword Origin Empire got one, and the Sects from the Gu’an Kingdom took two.

The rest were divided up by those reclusive noble families, while the Black Water Kingdom got none.

Of course, it was not that the Black Water Kingdom lacked strength but rather bad luck.

According to Second Elder Jis Che, Liao Feibai from the Qiyun Sect, who had been very promising and very likely to break into the top ten five years ago, was ambushed right before participating in the Black Dragon Ranking. In the end, he did not make it into the top ten to claim a Black Dragon Token for the Sect.

"So, Ye Zhen, do you think you have a chance to break into the top ten and seize a Black Dragon Token?" Second Elder Jis Che asked.

Just as Ye Zhen was about to answer, his gaze shifted and his pupils suddenly contracted—a giant butterfly was approaching from the horizon!
