Chapter 207: Chapter 209: The Old Monster is from the Dragon Clan?

The Dragon Clan is a legend in the Mortal World, and no cultivator from the Mortal World has ever seen a true member of the Dragon Clan.

But that does not stop the Dragon Ball from being the most important spiritual leader of the Demon Beasts, as it is the Divine Beast among them.

Even in the Immortal World, the Dragon Clan rarely shows themselves. Despite keeping a low profile, they are one of the undeniable sovereigns of the Immortal World. Purple Cloud only obtained the Nine Dragon Profound Fire from the Dragon Ball through a fortuitous coincidence; otherwise, no ordinary person would have the opportunity to enter the Dragon Clan’s territory.

Xuanyuan Mingkong led the two to a room protected by an array.

"Let’s speak here; we are protected by a barrier."

Xuanyuan Mingkong was very curious why the oddity from the Wanling Mountain, chosen as their spokesperson, would disregard the Myriad Spirit Death Order so carelessly upon meeting Mu Can.

"Where did you acquire the Dragon Clan Technique?" Old Yang got straight to the point with an eager face as he looked at Mu Can.

"How did you recognize the Dragon Clan Technique that I am cultivating?"

Mu Can did not answer his question but instead asked one of his own. Everyone in the Mortal World knows about the existence of the Dragon Clan, and there are many from the Demon Beast tribe with partial Dragon Clan blood, but no one has ever seen a real member of the Dragon Clan.

What is the background of this guy? If he is a transformed Demon Beast from the Wanling Mountain, why would he disregard the Wanling Mountain Death Order and speak with such arrogance as if he dominantly ruled the Wanling Mountain?

"Because I also cultivate a Dragon Clan Technique."

Old Yang seemed to have expected Mu Can to ask this and revealed a slight smile on his face, his demeanor shifting instantly from a sleazy middle-aged man with a goatee to a towering and imposing figure of authority.

"Hehe, feel it for yourself. Are our techniques derived from the same source?"

Although he now appeared towering and imposing, as soon as he started speaking, he reverted to his prior sleazy middle-aged self, a far cry from his valiant image when facing the representatives of the Hidden Families.

Mu Can felt a familiar aura emanating from Old Yang as he activated his technique, one that was from the same origin as his own Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions, yet at a much lower level.

"It is indeed a Dragon Clan Technique. Where did you get it?" Mu Can looked at Old Yang, lowering his guard.

"It was imparted to me by our ancestor."

"What? You’re saying that old monster from Wanling Mountain is actually from the Dragon Clan?"

Mu Can was still fine, unaware of the details, but Xuanyuan Mingkong did know about the old monster of Wanling Mountain and was shocked to hear this from Old Yang. The news was a surprise to him, but after thinking it over he realized there had been signs all along. Why would the creature not choose any of the other places rich in spiritual energy but rather select Wanling Mountain and protect the Demon Beast tribe like that?

Old Yang gave Xuanyuan Mingkong a white look upon hearing such disrespectful reference, but did not say much.

It seemed that the old ancestor of Wanling Mountain, who appeared amiable, would not mind Xuanyuan Mingkong’s way of addressing him.

Xuanyuan Mingkong realized his reference was inappropriate and stopped talking, yet he couldn’t stop pondering in his mind.

"Is he, he a member of the Dragon Clan?" Mu Can’s face was filled with excitement, so much so that he even stuttered when he spoke.

He could never forget the scenes from his trials in the Dragon Realm; those Dragon Clan members who fought alongside him, the Dragon Clan companions who trusted him unconditionally, as if all those battles had just occurred yesterday.

"Hmm, our ancestor is indeed from the Dragon Group, as well as the god of all creatures of Wanling Mountain. Otherwise, why would I feel something constantly attracting me when I meet you? It’s because we are from the same origin. Now, can you tell me the origin of your technique?"

"My technique was obtained from completing an inheritance." Mu Can replied vaguely, knowing the inheritance he received was of enormous importance, even related to the Dragon Realm, which is a level higher than the Immortal World.

"Hmm, I need to go back right away and report to our ancestor. I believe the ancestor will definitely come to see you in person." Although Old Yang knew Mu Can was not revealing everything, he did not ask further. This matter was beyond his ability to handle. He only wanted to go back and inform their ancestor, and perhaps have a reshuffle in Wanling Mountain.

Xuanyuan Mingkong was alarmed, but showed no outward expression. What incredible thing had his disciple obtained to draw the old creature out in person? According to records from the Immortal Ancient Academy, the old monster of Wanling Mountain hadn’t emerged for thousands of years. Even when the Demon World and Immortal World invaded the Mortal World, they only sent a spokesperson to investigate the situation. It seemed he wouldn’t choose to appear before the seal at the Immortal Ancient Academy faced a threat of breaking.

Old Yang hastily left with a few words of explanation, rushing away as if he had stumbled upon a treasure, leaving Mu Can and Xuanyuan Mingkong standing there dumbfounded.

"Disciple, what inheritance did you actually receive?" Xuanyuan Mingkong asked, now that only the two of them were left in the room.

"The Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions, a cultivation technique specifically tailored for humans by the Dragon Clan."

Mu Can did not hide anything from Xuanyuan Mingkong, recounting everything that had happened, including the origins of the Dragon Group from the Immortal World and even the fact that the Dragon Realm was invaded.

"I see." After hearing Mu Can’s account, Xuanyuan Mingkong genuinely felt happy for his disciple. With the Dragon Clan as the undisputed sovereign of the Immortal World, one could only imagine how powerful a technique they craft especially for the Human Clan must be.

Even though Mu Can had reached the peak levels of a Martial Venerate and it had been a long time since they met, he still could not perceive the full extent of Xuanyuan Mingkong’s strength, which clearly was far from being just an ordinary Martial Saint as Mu Can had thought.

"Master, I also have a gift to present to you," Mu Can suddenly remembered the Monkey Wine he brought out from the Death Space and spoke up.

"What gift? Your master does not need anything from you. Your current strength is the best gift to your master," Xuanyuan Mingkong looked at Mu Can fondly, his clever disciple always being his favorite.

"Ha-ha, Master, you will definitely like this gift. Close your eyes," Mu Can teased.

Xuanyuan Mingkong was already a lover of fine wine. This Supreme Brew, the Monkey Wine, would surely win over Xuanyuan Mingkong instantly.

"Then let’s see what good thing you can bring out." Xuanyuan Mingkong chuckled with satisfaction, knowing his disciple was finally showing some filial piety.

With Xuanyuan Mingkong’s eyes closed, Mu Can couldn’t help but grin, taking out the Monkey Wine sealed in a jade spirit bottle.
