The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 573: Ancestral Dragon Bloodline

Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Ancestral Dragon Bloodline

In a great hall built of crystal, Li, dressed in a pearl-studded white gown, was sitting cross-legged on an ice bed. Chilled air diffused throughout the hall, and faint dragon chants emitted from within her, revealing two small translucent dragons coiled in the palm of each hand, almost like phantom images.

"I am the Holy Emperor of Qin from the Southern Domain, here to see the Black Dragon King!"

At the sound of Qin Jun’s voice, Li immediately opened her eyes wide with surprise and disbelief shining through them.

She murmured to herself, "Did I hear that wrong... It sounded like Brother Qin Jun’s voice..."

Then she closed her eyes to continue her cultivation, but her mind was in turmoil, unable to find peace.

Eventually, she stood up and ran towards the great doors.

...

"Human cultivators, leave at once, the Dragon Palace does not welcome the Human Clan!"

A thousand-meter-long Yellow Dragon spoke with a deep and oppressing voice.

Its eyes, as large as houses, swept over Qin Jun and the others. Everyone except for Liu Ruolai and the slaves, who were nervous and fearful, appeared indifferent.

"Hurry up and call out your old Dragon King, our emperor is not one for idle talk, and any further defiance will result in a river of blood!" Zhu Bajie shouted.

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched; this pig of a teammate had been with him for quite some time, yet he had managed to learn none other than Qin Jun’s odd turns of phrase.

Upon hearing these words, the dragons were immediately incensed.

"Too arrogant! Blast them out!"

"Hmph! Do you really think you can see our king of the Dragon Clan whenever you wish?"

"Even a pig dares to bellow at a dragon?"

"Kill him!"

"How presumptuous!"

The Dragon Clan’s arrogance was famous, having once assumed the role of principal beings of the world even before the Human Clan. Therefore, they always held a disdainful posture towards humans. Hearing Zhu Bajie’s words, they could not contain their anger.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but facepalm; Zhu Bajie was truly a pig of a teammate.

"Bajie, shut up!" Tang Sanzang commanded firmly, and Zhu Bajie scratched his head with a silly laugh, then stepped back.

In his view, with their strength, there was no need to consider the attitude of the Dragon Clan.

Not to mention that if Kua Fu didn’t lift a finger, he alone, the old pig, could level the Dragon Palace to the ground.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew out; he was dressed in a black dragon robe, his head adorned with a beaded curtain crown, and he had a burly figure and a full beard, his eyes harboring an authoritative gaze that seemed to penetrate everything.

He was the Black Dragon King!

A being only second to the Green Fox King in the Southernmost Sea.

Despite the Green Fox King reaching the later stages of the Mysterious Immortal Realm, the overall strength of the Southernmost Sea was still not quite on par with the Eastern Flame Domain—of course, not considering the terrifying beasts lurking in the deep sea.

"Holy Emperor of Qin? You are that one from the Southern Domain?"

The Black Dragon King asked in a deep voice, but his expression was sour and his eyes carried a flame of anger as he looked at Qin Jun.

He had taken the matter of Qin Jun abducting Li very personally and never expected this young man to dare show up at his doorstep.

He did not act immediately because he could see through Qin Jun’s cultivation, which had actually reached the sixth layer of the Immortal Realm. According to Li, this youngster was not even twenty years old yet.

This talent...

The Black Dragon King felt a surge of shock within his heart. Then looking at Yang Jian, Nine-headed Insect, Tang Sanzang, and Zhu Bajie, he could not see through any of them.

"These people..." The Black Dragon King felt a growing tension within.

Qin Jun then pulled out a scroll, smiling said, "Your master is my subordinate, and I have proof from Iron Qingtian!"

As he spoke, he tossed the scroll to the Black Dragon King.

The Black Dragon King furrowed his brows; how could his master be a subordinate to Qin Jun?

And to involve Iron Qingtian in this matter!

Iron Qingtian was a Mysterious Immortal, a figure among the top five in the entire Eastern Flame Domain, and he was vouching for Qin Jun?

The Black Dragon King received the scroll with a mix of trust and suspicion, and then projected his Divine Consciousness into it.

"Brother Qin Jun!"

A voice filled with surprise and etherealness reached him, and Qin Jun turned his head to see Li flying toward him.

The others followed suit, especially Liu Ruolai, who scrutinized Li with a judging look. She quickly admitted defeat; in terms of beauty alone, Li was one step ahead of her, not to mention her aura. Dressed in a white dress embroidered with pearls, Li seemed like an ethereal girl from the Nine Heavens, above worldly desires and unreachable.

Every mortal woman would feel ashamed in her presence, and Liu Ruolai was no exception.

But she quickly snuffed out the timidity in her heart and, with a delicate snort, stood with her hands on her hips and looked at Li openly.

Li flung herself into Qin Jun’s arms, clinging to his neck and affectionately rubbing her cheek against his, pouting, "Brother Qin Jun, Li missed you so much."

Her voice was so soft that even Liu Ruolai felt her heart flutter.

Yang Jian and the others couldn’t help but sigh, truly a match of handsome man and beautiful woman.

Perhaps only a girl like Li, who seemed like a divine lotus, was worthy of an unparalleled youth like Qin Jun.

However, upon seeing Liu Ruolai’s jealous expression, they all shook their heads and chuckled.

"Are you really my master’s lord?"

The voice of the Black Dragon King came, his face full of complex emotions.

He and Qingtian were quite familiar, as Little White Dragon treated Qingtian even better than him.

Since Qingtian had sent the message personally, it was likely authentic.

"Mhm, my visit this time, first is to pick up Li, second is to ask you to contact your master for me!" Qin Jun replied with a gentle laugh while holding Li, causing the Black Dragon King’s mouth to twitch and his forehead to feel the urge to throb.

Qin Jun, holding Li, seemed so infuriating in the eyes of the Black Dragon King.

"I cannot let Li leave for now, she is at a critical point in her cultivation, about to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm and awaken the Ancestral Dragon bloodline!" the Black Dragon King said gravely, aware that only in the Dragon Palace could Li’s cultivation soar.

Ancestral Dragon bloodline?

It sounded quite formidable.

Qin Jun let go of Li and examined her; the girl really was on the brink of a breakthrough.

"Ah, Brother Qin Jun, how did you become stronger than me?" Li exclaimed with her hand covering her mouth, looking adorably surprised.

Before they parted, her realm was higher than Qin Jun’s. In just a few months, Qin Jun had already surpassed her by two major realms.

Fortunately, she could only see that Qin Jun was unfathomable. Had she known his actual realm, who knew how astonished she would be.

"Nonsense, I am a genius," Qin Jun boasted with a smile, while Li looked at him with a face full of admiration, her eyes filled only with him, even ignoring the Black Dragon King completely.

A woman’s religious devotion!

The Black Dragon King thought sadly to himself; with Qin Jun present, Li didn’t have a moment to spare him a glance.

"Humph!"

Liu Ruolai snorted coldly, showing her disdain for Qin Jun’s proud demeanor, a pity Qin Jun didn’t pay her any attention, and Li outright ignored her.

"Dragon King, since we are not enemies, wouldn’t you invite us to enter and take a seat?"

Jiang Ziya said with a smile, stroking his beard, while silently shocked; according to Qin Jun, didn’t that mean the entire Dragon Palace was under Qin Jun’s command?

What other cards was Qin Jun still hiding?

Reflecting on Kua Fu, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Gilding the lily was no match for sending coal in snowy weather; it seemed that Qin Jun didn’t need him at all now, which somewhat bruised his ego.

The Black Dragon King nodded, then dispersed the dragons in the sky and led Qin Jun and the others towards the Dragon Palace.

Seeing Qin Jun’s cultivation, his dislike for Qin Jun eased, and with Little White Dragon’s relationship with Qin Jun, he dared not act rashly.

The person he revered most in his life was his master, Little White Dragon, now known as the Dragon Emperor.
