Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 18: Holy Emperor Inheritance
"The Ziwei Dragon Qi I obtained originated from the Human King. The only dragon Qi stronger than it is the legendary Saint Emperor Qi. But where did the Saint Emperor Qi come from in Huaguo Mountain?"

As if he had thought of something, Ao Bing suddenly stood up and traced back to the source of the dragon energy.

He realized that there were other secrets hidden in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, which might be related to the Holy Emperor. Otherwise, where did the Holy Emperor's aura come from?
"Water Curtain Cave!"

After flying for a while, Ao Bing arrived in front of the Water Curtain Cave, from which dragon energy was gushing out.

"Sure enough, my previous guess was correct. In ancient times, there was a powerful person who lived in seclusion in the Water Curtain Cave."

The dragon energy originated from the Water Curtain Cave, which confirmed Ao Bing's previous guess.

When he first entered the Water Curtain Cave, he knew that this place must have been owned by someone before him, because the Water Curtain Cave was filled with stone benches, stone chairs, stone tables, stone bowls and other stone tools.

These things could not have been formed naturally, and the traces of artificial carving are too obvious. Just by looking at these, we can tell that this place had an owner in the past, but we don't know who it was.

After Ao Bing discovered this, he searched the Water Curtain Cave inside and out several times, trying to find clues about the original owner.

But to his disappointment, the original owner seemed to have evaporated into thin air, and nothing was left except the stone tools that had been used.

This also indirectly reflects the cultivation level of the original owner of the Water Curtain Cave, who was at least a Daluo Jinxian. If he was just a Taiyi Jinxian, even if he deliberately hid, Ao Bing would not be able to find anything.

Only the Golden Immortal of Great Luo can isolate time and space and make his own traces disappear between heaven and earth. No one can detect it except the cultivators of the same level.

Although he had guessed that the original owner of the Water Curtain Cave would be very powerful, Ao Bing still did not expect that the other party would be related to the Holy Emperor, or even the Holy Emperor himself.

Throughout the ages, there have been only eight and a half people in the prehistoric world who can be called Holy Emperors, including the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors plus Emperor Yu, among whom Emperor Yu is counted as half.

There were rumors that they had traveled to the East China Sea when they were young, so Ao Bing couldn't guess which Saint Emperor had stayed in Huaguo Mountain.

"You'll know once you go in!"

If he couldn’t guess it, he wouldn’t guess it. With excitement in his heart, Ao Bing crossed the waterfall and entered the Water Curtain Cave.

What you see is a stone bridge, with flowers and trees beside the bridge, and a stone house behind the bridge. Inside the house are stone nests, stone stoves, stone bowls, stone basins, stone beds, stone benches, etc.

There is a stone tablet in the middle, on which are engraved ten large characters: "Huaguo Mountain, a blessed land; Water Curtain Cave, a paradise on earth".

Ao Bing read these ten characters countless times. They were just ordinary characters without any mystery. They didn't look like they were written by a master, but rather carved by an ordinary craftsman.

But at this moment, these ten characters, which seemed ordinary to him, were constantly emitting the aura of the Holy Emperor.

This situation and this scene all show that Ao Bing made a mistake. It's not that these ten characters are ordinary, but that his ability is limited and he failed to see through the mystery in them.

The words were still the same, ordinary words, but under the backdrop of the Holy Emperor's aura, they suddenly became extremely majestic.

Just by taking a look, Ao Bing felt a huge sense of oppression, as if he was facing a majestic emperor.

"This sentence should be written by the Holy Emperor himself!"

If it wasn't written by the Holy Emperor himself, it would never be so powerful. The changes before his eyes made Ao Bing realize that this was indeed the Holy Emperor's former residence.

The ten big characters on the stone tablet are proof of this. If he had not been there in person, he would not have left any traces.

With a divine light shining in his eyes and a surging dragon energy on his body, Ao Bing gathered all his strength and looked at the ten big words, trying to see through the mystery hidden within.

These ten words were definitely not improvised by the Saint Emperor. If they were improvised, why would he have to restrain the Saint Emperor's aura so that outsiders could not detect it?

Since the Holy Emperor intentionally hid it, it means that there must be something hidden inside, and it was reserved for the right person.

And Ao Bing is that destined person.

boom!
As Ao Bing's gaze fell, the Holy Emperor's handwriting suddenly burst out, and thousands of rays of light and a thousand auspicious colors rose up, illuminating the cave with dazzling brilliance.

"This is……"

Looking through the layers of sunset glow, Ao Bing saw a mysterious scripture imprinted in the void. Every word was so bright that it was difficult to see clearly.

When he tried to take a closer look, he saw that the Holy Emperor's handwriting had retracted all its power. Even the Holy Emperor's aura was no longer emanating, and it returned to its normal appearance.

"There is fate, but it's not enough!"

Ao Bing saw the true scripture hidden behind the handwriting, but he could not read the contents clearly. He returned empty-handed after seeing Baoshan, which undoubtedly showed that his fate with the Holy Emperor was too shallow to obtain the Holy Emperor's inheritance.

"It's the human-dragon lineage!"

"I had no affinity with the Holy Emperor. It was only after the establishment of the human-dragon lineage that I became connected with the Holy Emperor. But because the human-dragon lineage has not really appeared yet, although the affinity between me and the Holy Emperor is there, it is not very deep."

"Only by working hard to strengthen the human-dragon lineage can I deepen my bond with the Holy Emperor and thus obtain the Holy Emperor's inheritance."

After a little thought, Ao Bing understood what was going on.

He was a dragon, and the Holy Emperor was a human, so they had no fate. But as he established the human-dragon lineage and opened a branch for the human race, the human race's luck was slightly improved, and he and the Holy Emperor became destined.

Therefore, the originally ordinary handwriting of the Holy Emperor began to show magical powers, releasing the aura of the Holy Emperor and attracting his attention.

Since fate arises from the lineage between humans and dragons, naturally the stronger the lineage between humans and dragons, the deeper the fate.

"It seems that the impact of establishing the human-dragon lineage is far greater than I thought."

Whether it was the fact that there was the Holy Emperor's inheritance hidden in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, or that he was connected to the Holy Emperor through the human-dragon lineage, these two things were beyond Ao Bing's expectations and were completely beyond his imagination.

He established the human-dragon lineage mainly to do some good deeds so as to survive the heavenly tribulation. He never thought that the human-dragon lineage could also involve the human race's Holy Emperor.

However, this is a good thing for Ao Bing.

Now, to the human race, he is an outsider, and human dragons are aliens. But once he obtains the inheritance of the Holy Emperor, the situation will be very different.

To the human race, he is no longer an outsider, and the human-dragon is no longer an alien species, but a branch of the human race that has inherited the legacy of the Holy Emperor and is qualified to compete for the orthodoxy of the human race.

It can be said that obtaining the Holy Emperor's inheritance is Ao Bing's opportunity to integrate into the human race, and he cannot miss it no matter what.

"Enter the Master Clan as a dragon and unite the two clans into one. This is my path to becoming a Saint Emperor."

Faintly, Ao Bing saw a path to becoming the Holy Emperor, uniting the dragon clan and the human clan into one, and becoming the Human Emperor and Dragon King.

"This is a possibility. Regardless of whether it can be achieved in the future, it is always right to work in this direction now."

Combining the two tribes into one tribe sounds difficult, and Ao Bing doesn't think he can do it. But even if he can't do it, it won't stop him from working towards this goal.

When practicing, it is more about the accumulation of the process. As long as the process is accumulated enough, the result is not important.

The same goes for working hard towards the goal of becoming the Holy Emperor. Becoming the Holy Emperor is not the most important thing. What is important is what you have gained in the process of working hard.

As long as I gain enough, it will be worth it even if I cannot become the Holy Emperor in the future.

For example, the goal set is to become the Holy Emperor, but in the process of working hard, various unexpected events may cause the result to deviate.

In the end, he did not become a Holy Emperor, but instead achieved the realm of Half-Step Hunyuan, or became the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth. Can this be called a failure?

"We have to find a way to confirm who the Holy Emperor who left behind the legacy is."

Ao Bing is an impatient person. Now that the Holy Emperor's inheritance is right in front of him, he can't wait to slowly develop the human-dragon lineage and deepen their fate bit by bit.

He had a clever method. He just needed to confirm who this Holy Emperor was, then find his descendants, take his essence and blood, and merge it with his own blood to create living beings.

This would not only create a congenital human dragon, but also deepen the bond between him and the Holy Emperor through the blood connection.

"There is no need to confirm. There are only eight Semi-Saint Emperors in total, and their descendants are spread all over the world. It won't take much effort. Just try them all."

On second thought, Ao Bing felt that there was no need to confirm who this Saint Emperor was. There were only a few Saint Emperors anyway, so he could just try them one by one, and he would eventually succeed.

"I can also take this opportunity to travel to the wild and try my luck to see if I can find any opportunities."

Ao Bing suddenly had an idea and decided to travel to the ancient world.

He is now not only a top-level innate god and demon, but also a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon. He will never return empty-handed when he travels to the ancient world.
