Chapter 675 Dragon Tomb! Bone Spirit Cold Flame?!

"It was all good at first; the Sword Emperor had been crippled for decades, and the Dragon Clan had almost forgotten about him. But then one day, they heard that this guy had become a Saint overnight. When they met again, he was already a Dou Di."

"After the final battle against the Dragon Emperor, he cleaved a corner of the Ancient Dragon Continent with a single sword strike, leaving behind the sword mark of Dragon Abyss and the sword intent of Thunder Pool."

Jiang Lin suddenly had a thought and subconsciously asked, "So Ancient Dragon Island is the piece they cut off?"

"Um," Lan Hong scratched her head awkwardly, but nodded anyway, "Yes, that's about right."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a wonderful story! By the way, senior, the dragon race has a long lifespan. I wonder if you also have a place in this story?" Jiang Lin asked with great curiosity.

"Do I really have to say it?" Lan Hong seemed a little embarrassed.

"Hmm? Senior, could you be that Holy Son?" Jiang Lin looked surprised. Wait a minute, isn't the Holy Son usually a male?

"No," Lan Hong said awkwardly.

That's my dad.

Jiang Lin: “.”

Yuanshou: "."

"Alright, senior, you were involved in this big event too." Jiang Lin said awkwardly, talking nonsense.

Lan Hong rolled her eyes at Jiang Lin, clearly annoyed. She didn't want to talk about it, but this brat insisted on asking.

"Sigh, it suddenly feels like everyone's parents are people who have done great things." Jiang Lin sighed as he thought of his mother and the others. Then, looking at Yuan Liao behind him, he subconsciously asked, "Did your elders also have such exciting stories?"

"..." Yuan Shao remained silent for a long time, then looked up at Lan Hong and said in silence, "They all died at the hands of the Sword Emperor."

Lan Hong: "."

Jiang Lin: “.”

So you two are quite destined for each other. But Yuan Shao is in a worse situation; Lan Hong's unfortunate father only had his dragon horns cut off.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Sword Emperor's full name is Dragon Abyss Sword Emperor. After his Dragon Abyss Sword was shattered in the last battle, it was reforged into the Dragon Soul Shattered Abyss Sword. Hmm, that's the spiritual weapon that made the Soul Clan's ancestor become an emperor." Pei Xuan tsk tsk teased Jiang Lin in his ear.

Nine-Leaf Sparrow continued, "You happen to share in the karma of the Soul Clan. You can be considered half a member of the Soul Clan, which means you can also be considered one of the Sword Emperor's people."

"."

Jiang Lin: No, not at all.

"Ah, let's talk about something else that's happier, like how you're still alive even though they're all dead!" Jiang Lin tried to forcefully change the subject.

"." Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao and Lan Hong both twitched their faces and looked at Jiang Lin with some dissatisfaction.

Listen to yourself, is what you're saying even human language?
"Alright, I won't say anymore, senior, please lead the way." Jiang Lin followed Lan Hong meekly, vowing never to say another word.

"Let's go, something seems off about our surroundings." Lan Hong shook her head, not wanting to dwell on these inexplicable matters.

"Mhm." Everyone nodded and continued to follow Lan Hong into the depths of the void.

"After the Dragon Clan matter is resolved, you can come and take a look at this Void Thunder Pool. There are great opportunities here that can help you improve your cultivation level," Lan Hong said, noticing Jiang Lin's apparent interest in the Void Thunder Pool.

"It is rumored that the Dragon Clan's Void Thunder Pool possesses a top-tier type of extraordinary lightning," Yuanxue, who was following at the very back, suddenly spoke up.

“It’s not just a rumor.” Lan Hong shook her head and looked at Jiang Lin: “You should have sensed it too. There is indeed a top-level strange thunder in the Void Thunder Pool, which is much more powerful than the Thunder Ancestor’s Black Demon Thunder.”

“However, now is not the best time to go and make contact with the Void Thunder Pool. It’s not too late to come back after we understand the situation of the Dragon Clan.” Lan Hong saw many Dragon Clan members at the Dou Zun and Dou Zong realms along the way. Originally, Lan Hong did not care, until she realized that the younger Dragon Clan members seemed to have split into different camps. Lan Hong couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

Lan Hong found a rocky area and had Jiang Lin and Yuan Xie wait there.

"I'm going to see what the Dragon Clan has become since the Dragon Emperor disappeared," Lan Hong said before hurriedly leaving.

Jiang Lin and Yuan Liao exchanged a glance, then remained silent, sitting cross-legged and quietly waiting for Lan Hong's return.

Lan Hong did not keep Jiang Lin and the others waiting for long. About seven days later, Lan Hong returned with a calm expression.

"Did you find anything, senior?" Jiang Lin asked directly upon seeing Lan Hong return.

"The ancient dragon clan has now split into four factions: East Dragon Island, West Dragon Island, North Dragon Island, and South Dragon Island..." Lan Hong sighed, "The dragon clan is truly declining; they don't even have any high-level Dou Sheng left..."

Jiang Lin and Yuan Xie exchanged glances, and soon, with Lan Hong's explanation, they understood the current internal structure of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Among the four Dragon Islands, East Dragon Island has no Dragon King, because East Dragon Island is the power of the old Dragon Emperor Zhukun and the legitimate successor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

The other three Dragon Islands each established their own Dragon King: the Northern Dragon King, the Western Dragon King, and the Southern Dragon King…

Although they were Dragon Kings, their power was not considered strong in Lan Hong's eyes. Among the three Dragon Kings, not a single one was a high-level Dou Sheng (Seven-Star Dou Sheng or above).
"Senior doesn't seem angry?" Jiang Lin noticed that Lan Hong wasn't angry about the Dragon Clan's internal independence.

"Why am I angry?" Lan Hong retorted. "At first, I thought there might be something wrong with these dragons, but it turns out it was just a simple case of one declaring himself king, and that's it?"

Seeing that Jiang Lin was somewhat puzzled, Yuan Liao explained, "This generation of Dragon Emperor was very derelict in his duties. He risked his life without leaving behind the Dragon Emperor's legacy, ultimately squandering the Dragon Clan's opportunity for development over thousands of years."

"If the Dragon Emperor fails in his duty, then it is normal for the Dragon Clan to establish its own independent forces. In fact, it can be said that the three Dragon Kings have been relatively restrained and have not taken immediate action against the forces on East Dragon Island."

Lan Hong nodded: "Yuan Liao is right. Zhu Kun made a mistake. The fault lies with Zhu Kun, not the three Dragon Kings. When I realized something was wrong, I passed on a portion of the Dragon Emperor's blood in advance, but I didn't expect it to be lost with Zhu Kun."

"Hmm..." Jiang Lin nodded thoughtfully.

Lan Hong continued, "We've investigated and found out that, whatever the reason, the Dragon Clan still doesn't want to go to war. It's just that Donglong Island is unwilling to cooperate, which has dragged on until now."

"Senior has already made contact with Dragon Island?" Jiang Lin asked curiously.

Lan Hong nodded: "Yes, there wasn't enough time, so I met the Northern Dragon King and persuaded him a little, and the dragon problem was resolved."

"...Not resist?" Jiang Lin asked curiously. "He doesn't even have the strength of a five-star Dou Sheng, how can he resist?" Lan Hong rolled her eyes at Jiang Lin, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, and continued, "You underestimate the oppressive power of the Dragon Emperor's blood. This isn't the so-called imperial blood flowing through the bodies of those imperial clans, but the true blood of a Great Emperor!"

"Although the blood of the Dragon Emperor in my body has been refined to a great extent and become very thin, it is still able to forcefully suppress the dragon race below the Seven Star Dou Sheng by one major realm. As for those above the Seven Star Dou Sheng, they can only be suppressed to the initial stage of Dou Sheng."

"Senior is amazing!" Jiang Lin couldn't help but exclaim. Lan Hong's Dragon Emperor Blood was clearly cheating; he was a god of internal battles!
Although the Northern Dragon King's realm seems to be much higher than that of Lan Hong, who is at the peak of Dou Zun, in reality, it would be much easier for Lan Hong to kill the Northern Dragon King than to kill any random one-star Dou Sheng outside!
"Didn't the Northern Dragon King come along?" Yuanxue asked.

“No.” Lan Hong shook her head: “I heard he was the strongest of the Dragon Clan today… crippled, crippled… I told him to explain to the other high-ranking members of Dragon Island himself, and I will take you to the Dragon Tomb.”

After returning to the Dragon Realm, Lan Hong felt like she was back home... Well, the word "like" can be removed.

Within the Dragon Realm, Lan Hong doesn't need the protection of those Dragon Saints, and... Lan Hong currently doesn't want the other dragons to know that she's going to dig up the Dragon Graveyard...

Although Lan Hong already had a thick skin, she felt it was still necessary to pretend a little to maintain her supreme dignity as the "Loli Dragon Emperor".

"...Senior, do you really have no... concerns?" Jiang Lin was excited to hear that Lan Hong was going to take them to dig up the Dragon Tomb, but at the same time he was also very confused.

“Sigh.” Lan Hong shook her head: “The Dragon Tomb is mostly filled with dragons who died in the past. It is a kind of inheritance that can be used when the dragons are in danger of extinction.”

"And the key to opening the Dragon Tomb is the blood of the Dragon Emperor." As soon as Lan Hong explained, Jiang Lin understood instantly.

The dragons of the Northern Dragon King simply couldn't open the Dragon Tomb, otherwise... they would have started digging it up long ago.

"Let's go." Seeing that there were no more questions, Lan Hong nodded and led Jiang Lin and Yuan Xie around again, flying through the void for several times before finally stopping on a broken "space island".

"Sigh, I wonder how many old friends I'll get to see." Standing in the void before the damaged spatial island, Lan Hong began to emanate an indescribable, terrifying majesty.

A phantom, ethereal and magnificent, appeared on Lan Hong's body, forming an illusion resembling an imperial crown and robes...

At this moment, Jiang Lin suddenly realized that Lan Hong had suddenly disappeared from the Spirit Eye's field of vision!
Good grief, the "overload protection" has been triggered again? Jiang Lin thought to himself.

The aura of Lan Hong, which activated the blood of the Dragon Emperor, was so terrifying that even Jiang Lin could not sense it. One can imagine how terrified the Northern Dragon King would be when he encountered such an ancient ancestor.

Wow!

Within the illusory image of the Dragon Emperor, Lan Hong flicked her finger, and a line of blood flashed. Using dragon blood as a medium, Lan Hong drew a sacred, majestic, and solemn dragon pattern in the void!

Swish!
The next instant, the dragon pattern merged directly into the void in front of him the moment it took shape. Then, Jiang Lin was shocked to see the surrounding space begin to change silently, and the "space island" was suddenly grasped by a giant claw!
Dragon Claw!

Although it looks unreal, it really is a dragon's claw!
"Huh?!" As if realizing something, Jiang Lin subconsciously looked up, then his pupils suddenly contracted!

A gigantic, illusory dragon head had appeared above them!
It turns out that the island in space where they landed was just a "bead" in the hands of this illusory dragon hidden in the void!
"Dragon...Emperor..."

The enormous Void Dragon's body was almost invisible, with only a gigantic dragon head that was silently bowing its head, its eyes listlessly looking down at Lan Hong.

"You...are back..."

The dragon in the Dragon Tomb seemed to possess some kind of chaotic intelligence; when it saw Lan Hong, it uttered words that sounded familiar.

The voice of the Dragon Tomb True Dragon was ethereal and elusive, carrying an indescribable sense of vicissitude and an ineffable air of decay and decline…

"Sigh... I'm back." Lan Hong looked at the enormous dragon head above with a complicated expression and sighed with a bitter feeling in her heart.

"To be alive...is...the best... outcome..."

The phantom of the dragon seemed to have some past connection with Lan Hong, but judging from Lan Hong's expression, Jiang Lin realized that she didn't seem willing to explain, so he wisely refrained from asking.

The matter of the Tomb Dragon Phantom is not complicated. It is a kind of "spirit" that is somewhat similar to the Nine-Wandering Sparrow, and belongs to the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void.

"Let's go in." Lan Hong felt a little heavy-hearted. The Dragon Tomb contained the remains of almost all the powerful dragons who had died, and it was the last legacy of the dragon race.

“Yes.” Jiang Lin and Yuan Xie both nodded.

"This is for you." Lan Hong, enveloped by the phantom of the Dragon Emperor, turned around, lightly pointed her finger, and two beams of blood-red light shot towards the two of them, leaving a faint, mysterious dragon mark on their foreheads.

"The Dragon Tomb is exclusive; only those recognized as friends by the Dragon Emperor are allowed entry." After completing the final step, Lan Hong led Jiang Lin and the other person into the air, slowly ascending until they were close to the dragon's head...

The phantom of the Tomb Dragon instantly devoured everything around it, and Jiang Lin felt as if the whole world had gone dark!
Wow!

The divine fire subconsciously rose, slowly illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Then Jiang Lin's gaze faltered slightly. All around him lay a desolate wasteland littered with skeletons and bones…

Some of the bones still had faint traces of spiritual fire remaining... like ghostly eyes, which were quite unsettling to look at.

but…

Jiang Lin suddenly raised an eyebrow and instantly turned his head to look in a certain direction. At the edge of the desolate, bone-strewn land, a cold, white flame was slowly burning…

"Hmm? Bone Spirit Cold Flame?" The moment Jiang Lin sensed it, Lan Hong also sensed it at the same time. Upon seeing the cluster of cold white flames, Lan Hong was first stunned, then couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, "It's all about timing and fate, but it can be considered good luck."

"That old guy named Yao Chen, didn't he need some kind of strange fire to enter the ghost path? It can be considered his good fortune that the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was born in the Dragon Tomb Land."

Lan Hong shook her head. Perhaps this was fate.

"Everything here is a treasure... dragon bones, dragon souls, dragon flames... but you need to find resources that suit your own cultivation level." Lan Hong had Jiang Lin release Xiao Yan, Yao Chen, and the others, and then imprinted dragon marks on each of them.

"The resources here are enough for Yuanlu and me to recover to the peak of the Dou Sheng realm. As for you, it depends on your comprehension."

The Dragon Tomb of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void has a long history, and its interior is filled with dragon bone treasures... Tens of thousands of years of accumulation is enough to nurture two peak Dou Sheng.

Of course, Lan Hong's spot can't be given entirely to Yuan Liao. It would be good enough if Yuan Liao could recover to a high-level Dou Sheng. The rest will have to be left for Zi Yan.
