Chapter 1811: Chapter 1831: The Black Dragon Prince_1

"Are you talking about the Black Dragon Prince, Ao Tingjiang?"

Meng Shuyu nodded: "Yes, I heard he was in Closed Door Cultivation, is he here?"

Meng Yijie sighed, "He is here."

Meng Shuyu frowned, "This could be a bit of trouble."

Meng Yijie laughed heartily: "Sister Jade, don’t think too much, I’m not the only one with a headache. Let’s see how this goes - if it works, it works; if not, then so be it. Besides, it’s not necessarily the one with the strongest power that will prevail."

Meng Shuyu’s expression relaxed slightly, she smiled: "That’s true, power is important, but sometimes luck is even more so."

Meng Shuyu turned to Lin Chen and explained: "Ao Yanjiang is the Junior Clan Leader of the Black Dragon Clan. He is supremely talented, powerful, and is widely recognized as the successor to the Black Dragon King, hence he is known as the Black Dragon Prince."

"There were rumors that he was in Closed Door Cultivation to progress to a new realm, so I assumed he wouldn’t participate. But unexpectedly he’s here, though I don’t know whether he’s broken through the realm. If he has, it’s possible that no one can match him in martial prowess."

Lin Chen asked: "Breakthrough, to the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"

Meng Shuyu nodded: "Yes, he’s not old, in fact, you could say he’s quite young, but his power has reached the Peak of the Golden Immortal very early. His Closed Door Cultivation is naturally aimed at a breakthrough to become a Heavenly Immortal."

Lin Chen realized: "He’s one of Heaven’s Chosen!"

Meng Shuyu smiled: "His rank within the Black Dragon Clan is quite low, but his rise to power has been swift, and he has managed to dominate his competitive elders."

"Not only in terms of power, but in administration and management as well, he has demonstrated formidable ability. Although he’s young, he has already won a lot of hearts. Many in the Dragon Clan support him, which is why, despite his age, he was made Junior Clan Leader."

"His power might fall short when compared to some of his elders, but when you consider his age, potential, and prestige, his elders can’t even compare."

"While each branch of the Dragon Clan has its own exceptional talents, they pale in comparison to him. Many people even say that if the Dragon Clan were to unify again, it would most likely be under his rule."

Lin Chen laughed: "He’s the favorite, it seems. He must be an extraordinary genius."

Meng Yijie laughed bitterly: "He’s a Dragon Spirit, which appears incredibly rarely, perhaps once in ten thousand years, among the Dragon Clan. It’s somewhat similar to the Innate Dao Body in the Human Clan, but the probability of it appearing is even lower."

Lin Chen now had an idea. Any Innate Dao Body was a darling of their era. Given enough resources and protection, they would grow rapidly to become formidable entities.

Unfortunately, although he had managed to transplant an Innate Phenomenon with the help of Sister Qi, he himself wasn’t an Innate Dao Body. When he reached a bottleneck, he’d still face obstruction just like anyone else.

"The bloodline of the Dragon Clan is powerful to begin with, and with the talent of this Dragon Spirit, give him a bit of time and he’ll be unrivaled!"

Meng Yijie laughed bitterly: "Yes, that’s why everyone was deflated when they saw him coming. It’s hard to compete with him."

Meng Shuyu comforted with: "Do your best, I’ll try my best to help you."

Lin Chen asked: "Will there be many people entering?"

Meng Yijie answered: "Each branch of the Dragon Clan will send in fifty individuals. They’re all mostly at the Late Stage of Golden Immortal, Peak of Golden Immortal, or at the Early Stage of Heavenly Immortal."

Lin Chen curiously asked: "If even Early Stage Heavenly Immortals are going in, why wouldn’t more powerful Heavenly Immortals enter?"

Meng Shuyu explained: "There are Heavenly Dao Rules within the Holy Land that suppress us. Powerful Heavenly Immortals could enter, but they’d suffer greatly under the suppression of the rules. The stronger their power, the more discomfort they’d feel. In the domain governed by the rules, unless you can break the domain and destroy it, you must obey the rules."

Lin Chen immediately understood, like the rules of a Secret Realm.

Aren’t there many Secret Realms where only cultivators below a certain realm are allowed to enter?

The rules are the supreme existence within a Secret Realm, and breaking them would lead to the disappearance of the Secret Realm. If you wish to adventure within a Secret Realm, you must abide by its rules.

Lin Chen speculated that this rule probably had something to do with the perpetual existence of the Ancestral Dragon Soul. Of course, it could also be a protective rule set by the Ancestral Dragon Soul itself.

After chatting with Lin Chen, Meng Yijie left first. Clearly, he came specially to greet Lin Chen, the special envoy of the Immortal Palace, and show some goodwill.

If Meng Yijie didn’t take this opportunity to win Lin Chen over, he would be too stupid.

Lin Chen laughed: "Meng Yijie, Meng Ziyuan, Ms. Meng, who do you think more highly of?"

Meng Shuyu shook her head: "The two of them are on par in terms of power. Each has their own supporters. As to who could win, no one can predict. They can only do their best!"

Lin Chen nodded, not saying more. After all, this was an internal matter of the Dragon Clan, which was none of his business.

As far as the Dragon Clan was concerned, he was an outsider, just passing through.

Just then, a guard came to knock on the door.

"The Clan Chief has returned. He asks that you and the envoy from the Immortal Palace join him. He is waiting for you in his tent."
