Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

Upon hearing this, both Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan gasped.

Only then did they realize how dangerous these three trials were.

The slightest mistake could result in the complete annihilation of one's soul and body.

They looked at Luo Qingchen beside them, whose eyes were still bright despite her serious injuries, and their hearts were filled with lingering fear and pride.

"Now, please follow me."

Xinghun gestured to Luo Qingchen, indicating "please".

"Beyond the Star Gate lies His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's final gift to you."

Luo Qingchen nodded and stood up with the help of Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan.

He looked at the magnificent stargate, towering tens of thousands of feet high and composed of pure light.

The energy barrier that had previously blocked him had disappeared.

Just as they were preparing to walk toward the stargate.

The mutation occurred again.

hum!
The nine colossal pillars surrounding the altar, carved with stars and dragons, suddenly lit up without warning.

The dazzling starlight rose from the base of the giant pillar, instantly illuminating the entire pillar.

Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
……

The nine sounds, filled with supreme majesty, seemed like the roar of a dragon from the primordial era, resounding throughout the entire space.

Nine enormous dragon souls, composed of pure stellar power and so vast they blotted out the sky, rose into the air from the giant pillar!

They hovered in the sky, their nine pairs of eyes, as large as stars, all falling on Luo Qingchen.

A terrifying pressure, so intense that it made Luo Qingchen feel suffocated, pressed down on him.

"This...this is..."

Luo Qingchen's face turned pale, and the nascent soul within her body began to tremble and become unstable.

Each of these nine dragon souls is far stronger than that silver-masked demonic cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage!

"Do not panic, successor."

Xinghun's voice rang out just in time.

"They are the souls of our clan's nine most powerful ancestors."

"Indeed, this is the first line of defense for the ancient star ruins."

"They are not attacking you, but rather... acknowledging you."

It seemed to be to confirm Xinghun's words.

That terrifying pressure came quickly and went quickly.

After circling in the air, the nine star dragon souls all lowered their noble heads towards Luo Qingchen.

This is a gesture of submission.

Followed by.

What happened next left Luo Qingchen speechless.

The nine enormous dragon souls suddenly transformed into nine streams of light, rushing straight toward him like weary birds returning to their forest!

"I rely on!"

Luo Qingchen was startled and instinctively tried to dodge.

What a joke!
If this thing gets inside your body, won't you explode on the spot?
"Open your heart and accept them!"

Xinghun's urgent voice echoed in his mind.

"These are blessings bestowed upon you by your nine ancestors!"

"These are their recognition and gifts to you!"

"This is the highest honor!"

Hearing this, Luo Qingchen stopped what she was doing, still somewhat doubtful.

He gritted his teeth, then simply closed his eyes, appearing ready to be taken advantage of.

Anyway, there's no escaping it.

It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided!
shhhhhh!
Nine streams of light, without the slightest pause, instantly disappeared into his brow.

Luo Qingchen's body jolted violently.

The anticipated explosion did not occur.

Instead, there is an indescribable feeling of warmth and vastness.

He felt as if he were in a warm ocean of stars.

He "saw" it.

After the nine dragon souls entered his sea of ​​consciousness, they did not cause any trouble.

Instead, it flew straight towards the nascent soul in his dantian, which was sitting cross-legged and looked exactly like him.

Nine dragon souls slowly rotated around his nascent soul.

Strands of the purest, most primordial power of the Star Dragon Soul emanated from them and merged into Luo Qingchen's nascent soul.

Nourished by this power, Luo Qingchen's nascent soul became more solid and powerful at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the surface of the nascent soul, ancient and mysterious golden dragon-shaped patterns even began to appear.

at the same time.

Fragments of memories, broken and filled with battle and roars, flooded into his mind.

That is the fighting instinct and heritage belonging to the nine Star Dragon ancestors!

Star Dragon Transformation!
Dragons Fight in the Wild!
"Nine Dragons Godslayer Roar"!
……

Each one, whose very name exuded domineering power, possessed supreme divine abilities belonging to the Star Dragon Clan, which were directly imprinted deep within his soul.

It was as if he was born with the ability to use these moves.

I don’t know how long it took.

When everything calmed down.

Luo Qingchen slowly opened her eyes.

His injuries had been mostly healed thanks to the nourishment of the dragon soul's power.

Although his cultivation level was still at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he felt that he was more than ten times stronger than before!
If now, let him fight that "Shadow of the Dao" again.

He was confident that he could completely crush his opponent within ten moves!

"How do you feel, successor?"

Xinghun's voice carried a hint of amusement.

"It feels... wonderful."

Luo Qingchen clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and grinned.

"Let's go."

Xinghun nodded.

"The real legacy is yet to come."

As it spoke, it took the lead and walked towards the magnificent star gate.

Luo Qingchen took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement, and followed closely behind with Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan.

at last.

They arrived below the star gate.

Passing through that layer, one encounters a light curtain that ripples like water.

The sight before them made everyone hold their breath.

The scene before me is beyond description.

There were no magnificent palaces, nor mountains of treasures.

Before them lay a complete, miniature universe!
Countless stars transformed into points of light within reach, flowing gently around them and converging into dazzling galaxies.

Space loses its meaning here.

They seemed to be standing at the center of the universe.

And right in the center of that miniature universe.

Suspended in the air was a magnificent building, so huge it was unimaginable, resembling a bird's nest.

It is entirely composed of a translucent crystal that emits a rainbow of colors.

Through the crystal, you can even see that inside it, there is a small "sun" that radiates endless light and heat!
This "sun" is the light source and energy source for the entire space.

The pure, extremely refined stellar power it emitted caused Luo Qingchen and the other two to feel a slight improvement in their cultivation levels after just one breath.

"This place... is the core of the ancient star ruins."

Xinghun's voice was filled with pride and nostalgia.

"Starry Dragon Nest".

"This is the last resting place and cradle of my Star Dragon Clan."

"Starry Dragon's Nest?"

Luo Qingchen murmured to himself, his eyes filled with shock. Using a real star as energy to construct a massive nest.

This is an enormous investment!

This is no longer the work of a cultivator; it is simply the creation of a god!

"Ah! Ah!"

The usually quiet Bai Ling'er suddenly became incredibly excited the moment she saw the Star Dragon Nest.

She broke free from Lin Wan'er's embrace, took short strides, and rushed towards the dragon's nest.

Her small body, during flight, exuded an incomparably noble and pure dragon's might.

"Bai Ling'er!"

Lin Wan'er was startled and hurriedly tried to chase after him.

"It doesn't matter."

Xinghun stopped her and said gently.

"She has the bloodline of a true dragon, from the Star Dragon's Nest, so she won't be harmed."

"The True Dragon and my Star Dragon Clan were the most steadfast allies in ancient times."

"For her, this place feels like home."

really.

As Bai Ling'er approached the Star Dragon's Nest, a soft light emanated from its surface, as if welcoming her arrival.

She flew around the dragon's nest like a cheerful little bird, emitting bursts of happy laughter.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan finally felt relieved.

"Come with me, successor."

Xinghun carried Luo Qingchen and flew towards the center of the Star Dragon Nest.

The closer you get, the more you feel the grandeur of the dragon's nest and your own insignificance.

They passed through layer upon layer of complex arrays and restrictions made of stellar power.

Any one of these restrictions would be enough to easily annihilate a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

However, under Xinghun's leadership, it was as if it were useless.

at last.

They arrived at the core area of ​​the dragon's nest.

This is a huge, empty platform.

In the center of the platform, lying quietly, was a massive dragon skeleton, tens of thousands of feet long.

Even after 100,000 years, this dragon skeleton still exudes a terrifying dragon might that seems capable of crushing the heavens.

The shape of the dragon skeleton is exactly the same as the star dragon on the nine towering pillars outside.

However, the pressure emanating from it was countless times stronger than the combined power of the nine dragon souls.

He was the former owner of this ancient star ruin.

The last emperor of the Star Dragon Clan.

"This...this is...the remains of the Star Dragon Emperor?"

Luo Qingchen stared at the enormous dragon skeleton before him, his mind reeling.

"Yes."

Xinghun's tone became somewhat low.

"Ten thousand years ago, in order to resist the invasion of the 'Shadow,' His Majesty the Dragon Emperor exhausted his last bit of strength and sealed himself and the entire Dragon Nest in this space-time rift, thus preserving this last spark of fire for our race."

"shadow……"

Luo Qingchen's fists clenched unconsciously.

It's that persistent organization again.

His gaze fell upon the enormous dragon skeleton.

He saw.

Within the Dragon Emperor's enormous, mountain-like, bony claws.

Quietly, it holds a "heart" that is only the size of a human head, yet seems to contain the entire starry sky.

That heart, composed entirely of the purest stellar energy, was beating slowly and rhythmically.

Each jump caused the entire space to tremble slightly.

"what is that?"

Luo Qingchen couldn't help but ask.

He could sense that the heart contained a terrifying power capable of destroying the world.

"That is the most precious legacy that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor left to you."

A light of reverence shone in Xinghun's eyes.

"The Heart of the Dragon Emperor!"

"It is the culmination of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's lifelong cultivation and all his insights into the Great Dao of the Stars."

"As long as you can integrate it, you can ascend to the heavens in one step!"

One step to the sky!
Upon hearing these four words, Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat.

The temptation is too great!
"but……"

Xinghun's tone suddenly changed.

"The Heart of the Dragon Emperor, though an unparalleled treasure, contains far too vast and violent power."

"Over the past 100,000 years, there have been people destined by heaven who have passed the trials and come here."

"But without exception, during the process of merging with the Dragon Emperor's Heart, they were all overwhelmed by that terrifying power, their souls and bodies were completely destroyed, leaving no trace."

Luo Qingchen frowned.

"Then how can we successfully integrate it?"

He didn't want to die in a place like this after finally passing three tests.

"To fuse with the Dragon Emperor's Heart, two conditions are required, neither of which can be missing."

Xinghun extended two fingers.

"First, we need a powerful enough 'container' to hold the power of the Dragon Emperor's Heart."

"And you, the inheritor, your special physique, which combines chaos and the laws of heaven, is the most perfect vessel in this world."

"Your chaotic power can devour and assimilate all energy; theoretically, it is enough to contain the power of the Dragon Emperor's Heart."

Xinghun's gaze fell on Luo Qingchen.

"And what's the second condition?"

Luo Qingchen pressed for an answer.

Xinghun smiled, but instead of answering, he turned to look at the small figure that was flying happily around the dragon's nest.

"The second condition is that we need a 'catalyst' that can calm the raging energy of the Dragon Emperor's Heart."

"And that little girl with the purest true dragon bloodline is the best catalyst."

"Her True Dragon Power and my Star Dragon Power are of the same origin, yet their nature is gentle, which can perfectly neutralize the violent will of the Dragon Emperor's Heart."

"Container, and catalyst."

"The inheritor, you and she, are both indispensable."

"This, perhaps, is destiny, something beyond our control."

Xinghun's tone was full of emotion.

Luo Qingchen also looked at Bai Ling'er in the distance.

He finally understands.

Why is it that all the clues along the way point to him and Bai Ling'er at the same time?

It turns out that the two of them were "pre-selected" from the very beginning, the two keys to unlock this legacy.

"So, it means that Bai Ling'er and I need to join forces to fuse this Dragon Emperor's Heart?"

Luo Qingchen confirmed.

"Exactly."

Xinghun nodded.

"This process will be fraught with danger for you."

"But for her, it was an incredible opportunity."

"While helping you soothe the Dragon Emperor's heart, she can also draw upon the purest stellar dragon power to stimulate her own true dragon bloodline, allowing her to complete an important transformation ahead of schedule."

"This will have immeasurable benefits for her future development."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchen's last remaining concern vanished.

If it benefits Bai Ling'er, then the risk is worth taking.

He took a deep breath, his eyes hardening with unwavering resolve. (End of Chapter)
