Awakening from the Devouring Starry Sky

Chapter 793 The Power of the Dragon Clan
Ji Ning left. After the lively feast of immortals and demons, the immortals and demons who came to congratulate him, as well as Di Ke’s senior brothers and sisters, also left one after another.
Afterwards, as the entire Red Dragon World slowly returned to peace, Di Ke and Red Dragon Venerable quietly followed Emperor Xi, Elder Qinglong and Daozu Yinglong to go to the Ancestral Dragon World again.

When Di Ke came to the Ancestral Dragon Hall again, his identity was completely different. Before, he came here as a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon bloodline and a newly rising genius. But now, Di Ke, who had broken through to become a true god, was one of the few true dragon powers of the dragon clan, so he naturally became a dragon clan elder like Elder Qinglong.

In the Dragon Clan, the status of an elder is second only to that of the clan leader. They have the responsibility to assist the clan leader in managing the Dragon Clan and train and teach the younger generations. Therefore, every elder in the Dragon Clan is respected. Especially Elder Qinglong, who is the oldest elder in the Dragon Clan, is almost like the chief steward of the entire Dragon Clan. Even Emperor Xi was taught by Elder Qinglong before he became the True God Daozu.

At that time, due to the death of the Ancestral Dragon and the catastrophe of the ancient war of destruction, all the elite warriors of the entire dragon clan were killed or injured. Elder Qinglong could be said to have supported the entire dragon clan on his own.

"It's a great joy for the entire dragon clan that we have one more true god. Moreover, Diko has great talent and understanding. In the future, he may become the strongest and most powerful person in our dragon clan, or even the leader of our Nuwa camp," said Emperor Xi, who was sitting in the main seat at the top of the Ancestral Dragon Hall, with an excited look on his face.

Although she is the granddaughter of Zulong and has even cultivated to become a true Taoist god, possessing the combat power of a top Taoist, it is not easy to support the entire dragon clan, and the pressure is very high. The dragon clan can have one more powerful rising star, and Di Ke has such potential and background. In the future, it is entirely possible that he can become the pillar or even the backer of the entire dragon clan, which naturally makes Emperor Xi full of expectations.

Elder Qinglong, Daozu Yinglong and Venerable Chilong all looked at Di Ke with smiles on their faces. They had no doubt about Di Ke's future achievements. At the very least, he would definitely be better than them, or even stronger than Emperor Xi.

Now, in the entire dragon clan, Xi Huang, as the clan leader, is indeed the strongest. Even the very senior Qinglong Elder is slightly inferior to her. As for Yinglong Daozu, he became a Daozu later than Xi Huang and is just an ordinary Daozu.

"Mighty leader? Xier, do you think too highly of this kid?" A slightly harsh voice suddenly sounded, and then a thin man in a black robe walked in from outside. Although he looked thin, his whole body exuded an aura of vigor and strength, especially his big mouth that almost stretched to his ears, which made his appearance really not flattering.

"Fifth Uncle (Elder Taotie)!" Emperor Xi, the Red Dragon Venerable, the Azure Dragon Elder, and the Yinglong Daozu all stood up to greet him. Hearing their address to the lean man, Di Ke couldn't help but be moved. Taotie? The fifth son of the Ancestral Dragon? He was still alive? He was also a true god?
Taotie nodded calmly, looked at Dicko with a slight contempt, and said with a half-smile: "Dico, right? Do you think you are Hou Yi? You still want to be a leader, aren't you a little arrogant? Do you know that there are only a handful of leaders in the entire Nuwa camp. Do you know what a leader is? Each of them has extraordinary experiences, great wisdom and perseverance..."

"Of course I know. My teacher, Taoist Sanqing, is one of them. And my other master, Patriarch Bodhi, has always been mysterious and his strength is unfathomable. Maybe he is also a leader," Dicko smiled without commenting: "A leader is a powerful person who possesses the strength of an ancestor god. With the cultivation level of the True God Daoist Patriarch, it is difficult to have the strength to rival the ancestor god. The perception of Tao must be high enough."

"It's good for you to know. As for the powerful leader, the only one in my dragon clan who can be called the powerful leader is my father, Zulong. Do you think you can reach your father's level?" Taotie said.

"The only ancestor god known in the entire Three Realms is Feng Mo of Wuxian Sect. Moreover, his realm is also very high, and he is probably the top among the ancestor gods. In the ancient destruction war, even when Nuwa broke through to become a world god, she could not catch up with Feng Mo who had broken through to the same realm. This shows how terrifying Feng Mo is," Di Ke said without comment, "If our Nuwa camp wants to defeat Wuxian Sect, we must have enough leaders, or even ancestor gods as powerful as Feng Mo."

"Now I have the strength of a top Daozu, and the next step is to become a leader... I think with my training speed, I can still work hard before the final battle," Di Ke continued. "You said work hard?" Taotie couldn't help laughing: "Boy, you are really arrogant! If hard work is enough, then there won't be so few leaders in the entire Three Realms from ancient times to now."

"Elder Taotie, what do you think of my talent, understanding and speed of cultivation compared to Houyi?" Di Ke asked without commenting. Taotie also smiled casually and said, "I can barely compare with Houyi, but when Houyi was still a god, he was able to kill the True God Daozu..."

"So, Elder Taotie, if Houyi can become a true god, what level of strength will he reach?" Dicko asked.

Hearing this, the Taotie elder froze in expression, squinted his eyes and looked at Dicko in silence, then nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to become a powerful leader. Who knows, by then, the entire dragon clan will benefit from you. If you can really lead the entire dragon clan to reproduce the glory of the ancient times, I will admire you."

"Haha...Fifth brother, what's wrong with you? You look like you've eaten a firecracker. My dragon clan has gained a talented and evil young man with the cultivation of a true god, which is a thing worth celebrating. Looking at you, you must have come here without eating enough, right?" Along with a clear laugh, an elegant middle-aged man in a brocade robe walked in from outside.

"Another true god? How many true gods and Taoist ancestors does the dragon clan have?" Seeing the middle-aged man and feeling the surging divine power fluctuations from the other party that were no less than Taotie, Dicko couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then looked at Taotie with a strange expression. Not full?
Taotie also turned his head with a slightly dark complexion and glanced at the other party, and then said in a muffled voice: "Humph, now is not the ancient times. It is not so convenient to eat something good. If my father was still alive, why would I have to worry about some food?"

"If father were still alive, you would have eaten the sky," the elegant middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and said, "Last time you went to the Blood Sea to steal food, if you hadn't broken through to become a true god at the critical moment of life and death, you would have died in the Blood Sea. Haven't you learned your lesson? The Styx Patriarch of the Blood Sea is a top-notch Dao Patriarch on par with Elder Yuan. Even Xi'er is a little afraid of him. This is not the ancient times. The prestige of my dragon clan can no longer intimidate these top Dao Patriarchs."

"Stop talking nonsense! I know the strength and methods of that old ghost of the Styx better than you do," Taotie said unhappily, and walked to the side and sat down. Then he looked at Di Ke and grinned, "Boy, since you are so arrogant, then practice hard. If you can really become a leader, then I won't have to be afraid of the old ancestor of the Styx. When the time comes, you have to accompany me to teach the old ghost of the Styx a lesson. Haha, just thinking about the reaction of the old ancestor of the Styx at that time makes people feel refreshed!"

"Fifth brother? It seems that this elegant middle-aged man is also the son of Zulong. He is worthy of being Zulong. Among his nine sons, I already know that three are true gods. The Zulong bloodline is indeed amazing," Dicko was thinking in his heart, and after listening to Taotie's next words, he was stunned and speechless.

"Uncle!" Emperor Xi and Venerable Chilong, who were also somewhat helpless about the bickering between the elegant middle-aged man and Taotie, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the elegant middle-aged man.

As they addressed the elegant middle-aged man, Di Ke immediately guessed his identity. He was Zulong's eldest son, the music-loving Qiuniu. No wonder he was so gentle and elegant, it seemed he did have some artistic talent.
