Chapter 717 Descendants of the Dragon
"nonsense!"

Emperor Yongyuan roared.

The red dragon's claws also suddenly exerted force, trying to crush King Zheng to death.

"calm!"

Li Xuan immediately stopped Emperor Yongyuan.

Emperor Yongyuan was now too weak, and Li Xuan immediately took away control of the Red Dragon.

Although Emperor Yongyuan was an unpopular prince at that time, he was very respectful to the late emperor.

In his eyes, the late emperor was a truly wise ruler, and Emperor Yongyuan had no complaints about the late emperor not favoring him.

His brothers are indeed much better than him.

"Since he is willing to talk, you might as well listen to him finish."

Li Xuan persuaded Emperor Yongyuan.

Before, King Zheng was unwilling to cooperate and was of no use to them.

But now that King Zheng has spoken, things are different.

They knew very little about the ancient formation beneath the Meteorite Dragon Crater. If they could learn more information from King Zheng, they would have a better chance of success when repairing the ancient formation later.

Moreover, King Zheng’s previous words really made Li Xuan unable to ignore them.

According to his understanding, King Zheng was not a person who could not afford to lose, and he would not say nonsense and deliberately disgust them when he was dying.

Prince Zheng previously said that Emperor Yongyuan would be the next him, and that this ancient formation could not be repaired.

If possible, Li Xuan really wanted him to explain in detail.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this is a lie made up by King Zheng in order to save his life.

King Zheng's life at this moment is entirely dependent on the evil dragon's energy. If the ancient formation restores its sealing power, King Zheng's life will be over.

"You said all this was done by the late emperor?"

Li Xuan asked King Zheng.

Prince Zheng looked up at Li Xuan, then turned to look at Emperor Yongyuan, as if he was very satisfied with Emperor Yongyuan's reaction.

“There used to be a mountain here.”

King Zheng fell into memories.

"There is a complex maze inside the mountain. At the end of the maze is the ancient formation at the bottom of the Meteoric Dragon Crater."

"I don't know where my brother got a map from, and he found his way here."

Hearing this, Li Xuan frowned.

He originally thought that King Zheng only had half of the treasure map.

But from what King Zheng said now, this place was found by the late emperor, who had a complete treasure map in his hands and then found the ancient formation along the way.

Li Xuan originally thought that the mountains here were leveled because King Zheng couldn't find the treasure.

"That year, there were frequent earthquakes in Jiangnan Road. My brother sent people to investigate the matter, and they found this place."

"The source of the earthquake was confirmed to be here, but what is hidden here has completely changed my brother."

When Emperor Yongyuan heard this, his expression changed.

In the few years before the death of the late emperor, his temperament did change drastically, and it seemed that it was from that time that various tyrannies began to appear in the court.

But during that period, Daxing also completed huge projects such as Luodong City and the Grand Canal, which will benefit future generations.

But the price involved is hard to describe in words.

The number of civilians who died in labor at that time was more than in any other war in Daxing's history.

It can be said that the people were living in dire straits during that period, and the atmosphere throughout the dynasty was extremely tense.

Although it’s not nice to say this now, fortunately the late emperor passed away at that time.

Otherwise, who knows what Daxing will become.

Now it seems that all this is related to the ancient formation under the Meteorite Dragon Crater.

To be more precise, it is the evil dragon energy sealed by the ancient formation.

"I thought my brother was reinforcing the seal of the ancient formation to prevent the evil dragon from breaking the formation and wreaking havoc on the world."

"But later he told me that the dragon vein below is our Daxing, which can help him rule Daxing for thousands of years and make him immortal, making him the eternal emperor of Daxing."

"My royal brother has granted me immortality."

King Zheng shook his head slightly, looking lonely.

I don't know if he was thinking about him and the late emperor at that time, or if he was regretting his original choice.

"You don't seem like the type to turn down an offer like that."

Li Xuan said quietly, looking towards King Zheng with a look full of distrust.

"God of destiny, you should know that everything in the world needs to follow the rules."

"And if you want to break this rule, the cost is unimaginable for ordinary people."

"Build a new city and dig a canal."

"It's just to provide enough resentful souls. This is the simplest step."

“More sacrifices will need to be made later.”

"Let's put it this way, the seal of the ancient formation follows the luck of Daxing."

"The greater the prosperity, the greater the power of the seal."

"As the Great Prosperity grows weaker, the power of the seal becomes weaker."

"In order to release the evil dragon and fulfill his wish, my brother is even ready to abandon the entire capital."

"It's not just the city, but also the people inside it, including the royal family."

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp when they heard King Zheng's crazy words.

Although he said that these were the actions of the late emperor, what King Zheng had done in recent years was also the same.

"Now, do you understand?"

King Zheng curled the corners of his mouth and admired their surprised expressions.

"Whether it's you or my father, aren't you afraid that this evil dragon will deceive you?"

Emperor Yongyuan asked angrily.

In his opinion, the two people were obsessed with the desire for immortality and that's why they did such a crazy thing.

"Hehehe..."

"For goodness' sake, how could the evil dragon deceive us?"

King Zheng asked back with a smile, seeming to be very sure that the evil dragon would not lie to him.

"My brother trusted me till his death, so I was able to successfully betray him and stop his plan."

"He has never lied to me. The ancient formation is indeed the dragon vein of Daxing."

"To be more precise, it was our ancestors."

Emperor Yongyuan's pupils dilated silently, as if he had thought of something key.

And King Zheng also gave the answer word by word.

"Yingtian Divine Dragon Emperor, Li Chixiao."

As King Zheng finished speaking, the entire Meteorite Crater began to tremble violently.

Black fog emerged again from the direction of the ancient formation and rushed straight towards King Zheng.

Li Xuan had been secretly guarding against this move.

He immediately drove the red dragon, grabbed King Zheng tightly to prevent him from escaping, and at the same time let the red dragon open its mouth and swallow all the black mist into its stomach.

The black fog is all extremely yin power. Through Li Xuan's way of reincarnation, it can be transformed into yin and yang true energy for one's own use.

However, hidden within these extremely yin forces are extremely strong emotions that Li Xuan needs to resolve on his own.

This emotion includes anger, pain, sadness, and longing...

Most of these complex emotions are negative. If ordinary people were exposed to them, they would probably become insane and crazy in an instant.

But Li Xuan was able to cope with it with the help of the purifying power of Yin-Yang Qi, but his emotions were inevitably turbulent.

"How could you fail, idiot?"

"It seems that you are nothing but a waste!"

The roar sounded in Li Xuan's mind.

This was not the will of heaven, but the voice of the evil dragon. As Li Xuan drove the red dragon to swallow the evil dragon's energy, the voice of the evil dragon also sounded in his mind.

The deep and rough voice was filled with a feeling of hoarseness and fatigue.

"Isn't it really the Twin Saints?"

Li Xuan didn't dare to believe what King Zheng said, but the voice of the evil dragon in his mind made him vaguely feel that it was credible.

King Zheng no longer even has a dragon-transforming battle formation, so naturally he doesn't expect the evil dragon to help him turn the tide.

He just refused to accept and refused to resign himself to his fate.

King Zheng revealed everything that happened back then, just to see what different choice Li Xuan, as the man of destiny, could make.

He did not hesitate to betray his brother who trusted him and chose the path he believed was right.

But after so many years, he realized that this was simply an unsolvable situation.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, King Zheng couldn't help but wonder whether his brother had also figured everything out before choosing to believe in the evil dragon.

After all, many years later, he also embarked on the same path as his royal brother.

"I didn't lie to you. The evil dragon is the Twin Saints Emperor from a thousand years ago, our ancestor, Li Chixiao."

"Or rather, a part of him."

Prince Zheng looked at Emperor Yongyuan with a smile in his eyes.

He knew that Emperor Yongyuan would understand this sentence.

Li Xuan looked at Emperor Yongyuan, hoping to get confirmation from him.

At this moment, the expressions of Wang Xi and others couldn't help but change.

As the inheritors of the Ouchi lineage, they actually know some royal secrets.

"It is said that the Emperor of Yingtian Dragon is the last dragon in the world."

"We in the Daxing royal family all have the blood of the dragon clan, so we can perform methods such as the dragon transformation battle formation."

While Emperor Yongyuan was speaking, he looked absentmindedly at the bottom of the Meteorite Crater.

Li Xuan even showed a look of realization.

No wonder when he took over the Dragon Transformation Formation, he still needed the bloodline of Emperor Yongyuan as a connection. It turns out that the Daxing royal family is truly the descendants of the dragon.

In other words, among the two holy emperors who established the Daxing Dynasty, one was a dragon, and he was the last dragon in the world.

This is quite a big deal.

Li Xuan couldn't help but look at the bottom of the Meteorite Crater.

Unexpectedly, the evil dragon they were talking about was actually Li Chixiao, the Dragon Emperor of Yingtian who lived a thousand years ago.

This misunderstanding has become a big one.

"Why was Emperor Yingtian Dragon sealed in an ancient formation?"

"Why does he want you to escape from this predicament even at the cost of destroying Daxing?"

The more they listened, the more doubts they had.

If it weren't for the fact that King Zheng's words were well-reasoned and didn't sound like he was lying, they would have long suspected that King Zheng's brain had been damaged.

As they were talking, they even brought up the topic of the Twin Saint Emperors who founded Daxing a thousand years ago.

“Even those who are destined to be with the heavens cannot live as long as the heavens and the earth.”

"What's more, there is a difference in the upper limit of the lifespan between the two Saint Emperors."

"As far as I know, Emperor Yingtian Shenlong accompanied Emperor Shengshen Zetian for his last day, and then he was also buried with him for love."

“But the life of Emperor Yingtian Shenlong should not end at that time, so he sealed part of his power here to protect Daxing and future generations.”

"So, this is indeed the Daxing Dragon Vein."

"And this seems to be the place where the two holy emperors first met."

When King Zheng said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

The relationship between the two holy emperors is indeed enviable.

They are still pursuing immortality, but the Dragon Emperor, the god of heaven, ended his long life ahead of time just to leave this world with his lover.

Comparing the two, King Zheng couldn't help but feel ridiculous.

"What then?"

Li Xuan almost forgot what was happening right now, he was so absorbed in listening.

"What was sealed here was originally just the power of Emperor Yingtian Dragon."

"But as time went by, this power slowly gained consciousness, and he thought he was the Emperor of Yingtian Dragon."

"Well, if you really look into it, he is not wrong to think so."

"It's just that the memory of this consciousness is missing. He thought he was imprisoned here and was worried about the safety of the Holy Spirit Emperor Zetian."

"Back then, I tried to explain it to him, but he didn't believe it at all. If I hadn't been of the Daxing royal family, he wouldn't have even spoken to me."

"Also, he has an extremely violent temper, and opportunities for effective communication are rare."

Li Xuan blinked his eyes, digesting this information.

"Then how did you reach an agreement to let the evil dragon help you achieve immortality?"

Li Xuan couldn't understand why such a complicated agreement was reached if the evil dragon was so difficult to communicate with.
"Who said we agreed?"

King Zheng found Li Xuan's childish ideas amusing.

"The evil dragon has a violent temper, so it doesn't have much rationality."

"My brother and I were just deceiving you to gain this power for our own use."

"Look, I'm still alive."

King Zheng looked down at his deformed body.

He suffered such terrible injuries, but he could still talk here freely. Isn't it because of the evil dragon's energy?
Before Li Xuan appeared, King Zheng was even confident that he could use this power to defeat Emperor Yongyuan, who could also use the power of the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Unfortunately, people are not as good as God.

King Zheng's words made Li Xuan's heart sink.

The more truthful King Zheng's words were, the more it proved that he was not just talking nonsense before.

But he had clearly said before that the formation could not be re-sealed.

If this is true...

King Zheng had been observing Li Xuan's expression. When he saw his face becoming more solemn, he felt rather proud.

When he saw Li Xuan looking up at him, he couldn't help but speak first:
"Destiny, do you remember what I just told you?"

"Let me tell you something."

"Nearly a thousand years have passed, and the evil dragon's power has long been consumed."

"The key to maintaining the power of the evil dragon today is actually not the power left behind by Emperor Yingtian Dragon."

"That was just a flame, but the fuel now is actually something else."

"Guess what?"

Li Xuan frowned and blurted out, "It's Daxing's national destiny."

"You have been causing trouble to the country all these years just to weaken the evil dragon's power so that you can absorb it, right?"

King Zheng smiled and admitted:
“That counts as one.”

“But I tell you, the country’s fortune is weakening. What’s weakening is not only the power of the evil dragon, but also the seal of the ancient formation.”

"The ancient formation relies on the power of the dragon vein to maintain itself. According to the original design, before Daxing is destroyed, the ancient formation will completely lose its sealing function."

King Zheng's answer made everyone fall into deep thought.

It is obvious that King Zheng wants to say that in addition to the prosperity of the country, there is another important factor that affects the power of the evil dragon.

And this factor most likely only affects the power of the evil dragon.

Seeing that everyone was thinking silently with their heads down, Prince Zheng looked at Emperor Yongyuan and said to him:

"Be kind and think carefully."

"What was the first thing I did after your father passed away?"

After being reminded of this, Emperor Yongyuan suddenly raised his head, and a look of panic slowly appeared on his face.

"No, you're lying!"
