Chapter 216 [The Only True Dragon]
The pupils of Great Sage Qianlun shrank, and he had some speculations in his mind. Could this person also be the son of the Dragon Emperor?
Only a being of the prince's level, who is used to seeing quasi-emperors and has been accompanying enlightened people for many years, could be so unscrupulous and scold a great sage at will.
"Bloodline is not everything." Great Sage Qianlun took a deep breath and retorted: "There are many geniuses in the world."
"That's because your bloodline is not strong enough. The strongest person in your ancient clan, who is worshipped as the supreme god, the Immortal Emperor, is a descendant of the Phoenix clan."
Lin Xian said calmly, standing with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "The Five-Colored Divine Phoenix, the Ten Ancient Evils, the descendants of the Immortal King, these are the real immortals, they do not belong to the human world, they are the bloodline of the immortal world."
"You... who are you?" The eyes of the Great Sage Qianlun were extremely solemn. He looked at Heihuang, then at Gai Jiuyou, and felt his scalp tingling.
The Immortal Emperor is the bloodline of the immortal world. Is this great secret true or false? If it is true, why do they know it?
Could it be that this dog is really the son of the Emperor? But how could the Five-Colored Divine Phoenix give birth to a dog? !
For a moment, Great Sage Qianlun had mixed emotions and endless questions. If it were someone else, he would have captured him and interrogated him long ago, but the existence of Gai Jiuyou made him extremely fearful.
He had a bad premonition that even with the supreme imperial weapon in hand, he might not be able to defeat this quasi-emperor.
"I've already told you that you are not qualified. How can a great sage want to listen to the secrets of the immortal?"
Lin Xian stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Let the Ancient Princess come, I want to see the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor."
"The ancient emperor had already passed away in the ancient times..." The Great Sage Qianlun said in a deep voice, and he clenched the Wanlong Bell in his hand very tightly, with wisps of purple air rising.
"So, you are not qualified."
Lin Xian sneered, turned around and looked in the direction of the Taichu Ancient Mine, and said calmly: "Do you think you know her father better than Wan Longnu?"
The Great Sage Qianlun was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that he knew the Ancient Emperor better than the Ancient Prince.
Their lineage originated from the eldest son of the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor. It has been countless generations, and the Ancient Emperor did not even recognize this descendant, so how could he compare to the Dragon Emperor's own daughter.
"Or do you think I'm not qualified to see the Dragon Girl?"
Lin Xian suddenly turned his head and let out a whistling sound. A dragon's roar sounded, which continued and undulated, as if it had penetrated through eternity of time and space. The Ten Evil Treasures were fully demonstrated at this moment.
Even if it is not the perfect True Dragon secret technique, but just one of its free-hand moves, it is still the genuine True Dragon secret technique.
If we trace back to the source, the Ten Evils are not indigenous creatures of the primitive ancient world. They can be found in the fairyland. They are suspected to be from an even more ancient world and have a great connection with the original truth.
Even the True Dragon Magic Technique was not created by the True Dragon Immortal King of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but is an ancient inheritance that allows a True Dragon at the quasi-Immortal King level to fight against the Immortal King and become one of the Ten Evils.
Moreover, among the Ten Evils and Nine Nether Beasts, there is an ancestor who is a quasi-Immortal Emperor. Even the Corpse Immortal Emperor who created the original true solution has mastered the Ten Evils' magic, and his background is very great.
No one knows whether, in the ancient times, above the sky, at the end of the sea of boundaries, there was a real dragon of the level of the Taoist ancestor.
The dragon's roar was clear, accompanied by wisps of immortal energy rising into the sky. The True Dragon Immortality Elixir made an intimate sound, actively entwined around Lin Xian and turned around, and actually made a series of dragon roars.
"True Dragon Medicine, why is it here?"
The Great Sage Qianlun was shocked and suddenly remembered a legend. All the emperors in ancient times were followed by the elixir of immortality. Some found the elixir after they became enlightened, while others the elixir of immortality automatically followed them before they became enlightened.
Lin Xian was surrounded by dragon energy, ethereal like a fairy, and with the otherworldly temperament of the Heaven-Devouring Magic Art as a backdrop, she really looked like a real fairy at this moment.
Not only him, the Holy Prince also took a step forward, exuding the aura of his own race, as if the fearless Fighting Holy Emperor had returned, looking down upon the past, present and future, and not afraid of anything.
Ye Fan followed suit, his golden blood energy surged, like a six-foot-tall golden Buddha, or a god ruling the sky.
"Another emperor's son-level figure, this is the legendary immortal golden body."
The Great Sage Qianlun was terrified and his scalp was tingling. The realm of these young princes was not high now, but if they were given a few hundred years to practice, I am afraid that the era of the universe in the next ten thousand years would belong to them.
The big black dog also put a green onion in his nose to pretend to be an elephant, releasing the aura of the Great Emperor Wu Shi, standing with his hands behind his back, and said in a rather pretentious manner: "The Way of Heaven has no beginning and no end, come and see me."
The corner of the mouth of Great Sage Qianlun twitched, and he could not help but fall silent. What kind of world is this? Even a dog's demeanor is so extraordinary, as if he has the bearing of an emperor's son, even stronger than when he was young.
Could this really be the Emperor's son?
The aura of the Great Emperor Wu Shi was shocking, but it was somewhat different from that of the ancient supreme god, which made the Great Sage Qian Lun doubtful. In addition, there was a Gai Jiuyou who was watching him covetously, looking at the Wanlong Bell in his hand, which put him under great pressure.
"A guest is a guest. Please enter the Dragon's Nest, my princes. I will go and invite the young ancestor to come out."
The Great Sage Qianlun took a deep breath and made two preparations. On the one hand, he asked people to arrange for the guests, and on the other hand, he asked several Dragon Sages to take the geniuses of the clan with them, ready to run away at any time.
Lin Xian hummed calmly, with an indescribable sense of detachment, as if he were a real dragon from the fairyland.
Seeing this, the veins of the Great Sage Qianlun jumped. He had had this kind of attitude before, when he was paying homage to the lower races such as the Jiaolong and the Yulong, and he was full of superiority.
"Let's go." Gai Jiuyou gently patted the Great Sage Qianlun on the shoulder. It was just a casual remark, but it frightened the Great Sage of the ancient clan so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Because he didn't notice Gai Jiuyou approaching at all. At such a close distance, if this quasi-emperor had the intention to kill him, he wouldn't even be able to be on guard or activate the Wanlong Bell.
Deep within the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, in a palace guarded by an ancient imperial formation, a huge divine source sank, sealing an unrivaled and gorgeous dragon girl with purple mist floating around, a graceful figure, and snow-white skin.
She slowly opened her eyes, which were the color of purple diamonds, ethereal and divine. The small horns on her head were as delicate as purple jade, flashing with a strange fairy light, making people want to touch them.
This is a purple dragon, or rather, all the dragons in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest are purple dragons, originating from the ancestor, the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor.
"Xiao Zu."
The Great Sage Qianlun bowed with great respect. Although this biological young daughter of the Ancient Emperor was not the clan leader now, her status was extremely high.
"Why have you woken me up? Is the path to becoming an immortal about to begin?" The dragon girl's graceful and melodious voice sounded.
The Great Sage Qianlun gave a bitter smile and told Wan Longnu everything, leaving the ancient emperor's daughter stunned.
"There is more than one ancient prince..."
The dragon girl murmured, puzzled, "But my father was the only dragon emperor in ancient times, and I have never heard of other dragons achieving enlightenment. Could he be the descendant of the Celestial Lord from the mythological era?"
“Perhaps it comes from an even more ancient era.” Great Sage Qianlun said faintly, and suddenly remembered Lin Xian’s true dragon temperament and the closeness of the elixir of immortality, and an incredible thought was born in his mind.
"An even older time!"
A gleam of divine light appeared in the eyes of the Dragon Girl. Unlike the Holy Prince, who was a child who had dropped out of school and was illiterate, she had actually followed the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor for many years, accompanied the ancient emperor and knew many great secrets.
Before the ancient times was the Taikoo Era, and before that was the mythological era. The first figure in the myth was the Tianzun Dujie, and it was he who sorted out the five secret realms and perfected the current practice methods, making him worthy of being called a Taoist ancestor.
But before the mythology, there seemed to be a different system. In the legendary chaotic ancient era, there was an emperor of heaven and an immortal dynasty.
“Legend has it that in the most ancient times, there were immortals.” The Dragon Girl whispered, and the divine source made a crackling sound. She broke the seal and came out to the world.
This statement shocked the Great Sage Qianlun, who quickly asked, "Aren't all immortals in the Immortal Realm?" "Not really." The Dragon Girl shook her head, puzzled, and murmured, "My father said this. He said that he couldn't become an immortal, not because his realm was not high enough, but because there was something wrong with this world."
"So, he wants to go to the fairyland to become an immortal."
Having reached the realm of enlightened beings, the vast universe basically has no secrets for the ancient emperor. As long as he traces them patiently, he will eventually find some traces of the immortal path and come to a conclusion.
This vast universe is imperfect, so it is impossible to become an immortal. This is the consensus of all supreme beings throughout the ages.
That is why they sealed off their own restricted areas and waited eternity, hoping to break through to become immortal and enter another world.
Only a small number of people, for various reasons, accidentally embark on the immortal path in the mortal world and live out their lives one after another.
But before reaching the end, no one knows whether the mortal worldly path or the immortal path is right.
This is the problem that has troubled the entire universe and all living beings for eternity.
It is not just a question of one person becoming an immortal, but the dilemma of having one's path to immortality cut off. Who is right?
Around this issue, as time went by and eras changed, the emperors did everything they could to create one disaster after another.
Just to pursue that one answer!
"May I ask the heavens, are there any immortals?" The Dragon Girl said slowly.
Lin Xian, who was standing opposite her, stood with his hands behind his back and smiled slightly, saying, "Of course there are immortals. There are not only immortals, but also real dragons of the same level as immortals."
"Are you talking about yourself?" The dragon girl smiled softly, but her eyes fell on the real dragon medicine on Lin Xian's shoulder. She said with a bit of melancholy: "It once followed my father, and now it has taken a fancy to you."
"No, I mean him." Lin Xian pointed at the True Dragon Immortal Elixir that he was enjoying himself, and said calmly: "He was once a fairy and a true dragon."
"once?"
Wan Longnu was puzzled. There have been constant speculations about the elixir of immortality throughout history. Some people even speculated that it was a fairy from the fairyland who had descended to the earth.
So she was not surprised when Lin Xian said that the True Dragon Medicine was from a fairy and a real dragon.
The word "once" puzzled the Dragon Girl, and she couldn't help asking, "Isn't he now?
"Of course not. Now he is neither an immortal nor a real dragon. He is just an immortality drug."
"If the universe is imperfect, true immortals will not exist."
Lin Xian sighed, this is the difference in the overall environment.
In the ancient times, if the immortal Shiwolin ate a peach fruit, he could attain immortality and become a human immortal.
In the Dharma Ending Age, he only has a perfect elixir of immortality, but it can only prolong his life for one lifetime at most.
"If the true immortals don't exist, then what about the true dragons?"
Wan Longnu keenly caught the loophole in Lin Xian's words, and a hint of exploration and curiosity appeared in her purple eyes.
She once asked the Ten Thousand Dragon King this question, asking him if he was the real dragon as the legend said. However, her father just smiled and rubbed her head without giving any answer.
"Immortals can live forever, but a true dragon is just a title."
Lin Xian smiled and said, "Among all the dragon species in the world, only one dragon can win and be called a true dragon. It belongs to the strongest of the dragon clan, not just one realm."
"There is only one real dragon." Wan Longnv was surprised and asked, "Then my father is also a real dragon?"
"In an era, there is only one true dragon. This has nothing to do with realm, but combat power."
Lin Xian said calmly: "In the ancient times, the Ten Thousand Dragon King was naturally a true dragon. In the ancient times, there was a snow rabbit that transformed into a dragon and was called the Demon King. He was also a true dragon because they were in different eras. The true dragon is the only one!"
"If we live in the same era, if we are not the strongest, even the Immortal King cannot be called a true dragon."
"A dragon is not only a creature, but also an extremely high-level life form. Many creatures can choose to evolve towards it."
"In the ancient times, there was a dragon fairy king and another dragon fairy king who had a dispute over the evolutionary route, and a war broke out."
"The winner will eventually become the True Dragon Immortal King, and the loser, even if he is an Immortal King, can only be called the second best in the world."
"From this point on, all the ways to transform into dragons in the future generations are evolving towards the lineage of the True Dragon Immortal King!"
Wan Longnu was silent for a long time, digesting the huge amount of information. She looked at Lin Xian with complicated eyes and asked tentatively: "Are you a descendant of a real dragon, or a fairy?"
Lin Xian smiled without saying anything, acting as a riddle teller, and did not answer. He walked away leisurely with the True Dragon Medicine in his arms.
Wanlongnu stood there in a daze for a long time, and only came back to her senses when she knew that the Great Sage Qianlun had arrived.
"Xiaozu, who do you think he is?" Great Sage Qianlun carefully considered his words and asked tentatively.
"Not like a mortal creature."
Wan Longnu's eyes were strange, and she shook her head and said, "Let's wait and see until my father wakes up."
"Father...Grandfather Emperor!"
Great Sage Qianlun was extremely excited. He looked towards the direction of the Taichu Ancient Mine and asked excitedly, "Your Majesty is still alive?"
In the ancient times, it was a custom for the supreme beings of each race to escape into the ancient mines and dominate the ancient order.
Those holding the imperial decree can enter the ancient mine to discuss matters and will not be killed by the restricted area, because the people inside are their ancestors.
However, in order to become an immortal, the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor chose to lie dormant and sleep, ignoring the affairs of the outside world. The Ten Thousand Dragons Nest called out to him several times but to no avail, and one could not help but wonder whether the ancient emperor had fallen in the passage of time.
"After some time, I will go to the Taichu Ancient Mine to pay my respects."
Wan Longnu was a little absent-minded and sighed softly: "Father, if you were alive, why didn't you come to see me."
“Little Ancestor, if the ancient emperor…” Great Sage Qianlun looked solemn and nervous, “The Taichu Ancient Mine is not a good place.”
"That dragonborn will also go with me." The Wanlongnu looked calm as she stated some of Lin Xian's conditions.
For example, Wanlongchao wants to hand over the human demon. This ancient human warrior knows the Taiyin Immortal Scripture and the Taiyang Immortal Scripture, which are the two major mother scriptures of the human race and are of far-reaching significance.
