Chapter 607 Hidden dangers
On the cliff, Taixuan was still chattering and persuading Chen Mu to become a demon.

Chen Mu reached out to stop him, his eyes flashing as he asked about something else: "Taixuan, you previously said that Ao Qianjun of the Dragon Palace was destroying your path..."

Before he could finish, Taixuan's expression changed and he said in a cold voice, "Why are you asking this?"

Chen Mu's heart moved secretly, and he chuckled and said, "I might as well let you know that you and I are in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea right now..."

"what!"

Taixuan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly turned red. The rolling demonic energy seemed to overflow uncontrollably and spread out in an instant.

Chen Mu frowned and decisively activated the soul imprint.

Taixuan suddenly groaned, the red color in his eyes dissipated, and he returned to his half-dead state again.

"Boy, if you want to die, why bother with so much trouble? Now that we're in the Dragon Palace, with that old dragon's realm, I'm afraid he would have sensed my aura a long time ago. He might show up here the next moment and kill both of us..."

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, then said loudly, "Ao Qianjun died a thousand years ago. How could he have sensed your aura?"

As the previous Dragon King of the Dragon Palace, Ao Qianjun's death was naturally known to everyone.

"He died of old age... He died?"

Taixuan, however, didn't believe it. He sneered and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid the world has been deceived by him. He has always been like this..."

Chen Mu frowned when he heard this and said, "The lifespan of a True God Transformation Sovereign is three thousand years, and even the True Dragon Clan can only double that to six thousand.

And Ao Qianjun has been stuck in the Spiritual Transformation Realm for over four thousand years. How can you be sure he could still be alive today?"

As soon as these words came out, Taixuan's eyes widened, and he was stunned on the spot: "He failed to break through the tribulation?"

Chen Mu sensed something was amiss and said slowly, "How many peerless people have been blocked by the tribulation barrier? His failure to break through is the norm in this world..."

Taixuan's expression grew increasingly solemn as he murmured, "If he hasn't made a breakthrough, then who took the Heavenly Demon Soul a thousand years ago..."

"What did you say?"

Taixuan did not respond, but his thoughts turned rapidly and he began to think.

A thousand years ago, he was suppressed in the black well. When he was on the verge of death, a demon from outer space who had been lurking for a long time crossed over and wanted to devour his divinity.

But he was not destined to die. While fighting desperately, he found the demon cauldron, and even gave up his real body and escaped into it with his soul.

But just when he thought he had escaped and all was over, he vaguely sensed someone entering this room, taking down the soul of the devil in one fell swoop, and then flying away.

He subconsciously thought that the man was Ao Qianjun. Otherwise, how could he explain why he suppressed him here? Wasn't it to plot the soul of the devil in order to break through the realm and ascend?
But now I heard from Chen Mu that Ao Qianjun had already died of old age...

At this moment, the matter became confusing...

"Could it be someone else?"

Taixuan's eyes flickered as he fell into deep thought.

He was extremely shocked and confused, but Chen Mu was confused and didn't understand.

However, Chen Mu was not very interested in the feud between him and Dragon Palace.

The reason for planting the soul mark on him was, firstly, to confirm whether the demonic calamity was approaching, and secondly, the real purpose was to use his power to further control the inherited soul flag...

"Taixuan, I know you are resentful and unwilling to submit to me. I can now give you two choices." Chen Mu suddenly said.

Taixuan's thoughts were interrupted. After a pause, he said, "Which two choices?"

"First, being devoured by the evil spirits here, your soul will collapse and you will die!

As for the second one, if you honestly help me achieve enlightenment, you may have freedom in the future..."

"Will you let me go free?" Taixuan's eyes lit up.

Chen Mu smiled slightly: "Why not?" Taixuan looked directly at Chen Mu, thoughts brewing in his mind.

As Chen Mu said, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, he only has these two choices.

But helping others to achieve their goals is not easy, especially since he and Chen Mu belong to two different clans and many of their experience and resources cannot be used.

But it was better than having no hope at all, and he could see that Chen Mu was a blessed person, otherwise he wouldn't have this Soul Ancestor inheritance...

Thinking of this, he hardened his heart and gritted his teeth and replied, "Okay, I promise you, I will do my best to help you achieve enlightenment. I also hope that you can keep your promise and return me to freedom when the time comes!"

Chen Mu laughed loudly when he heard this, and said loudly with his hands behind his back: "If you can sincerely help me, I will do my promise!"

After saying this, he waved his hand to break the soul-binding chains, pointed to the distant mist and said, "This world has endless soul power, you can do whatever you want. In three years, I want you to recover to the combat power of the Nascent Soul!"

Taixuan turned and rose up, and in just that instant, he could feel the tide of soul power rushing towards him.

He was delighted, and with the confidence he had previously returned, he shouted back, "With such a precious place, why would we need three years? One year is enough to accomplish our goal!"

Chen Mu smiled without saying anything. Seeing that the matter was over, he was about to leave.

But at this moment, Taixuan showed a conflicted look on his face. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally said, "Wait a minute!"

Chen Mu paused, turned around and asked, "What else?"

Taixuan's expression straightened, and he said in a deep voice, "You... refined a scale of the Ancestral Dragon?"

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

"really……"

Tai Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he spoke, "When I was battling you earlier, I sensed a hint of energy. I initially thought it was the Dragon Girl helping you, but afterwards, it felt more and more familiar."

Chen Mu frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Tai Xuan snorted lightly and sneered, "Not only is that not true, the reason I ended up like this is because of that Ancestral Dragon Scale!"

Chen Mu's mind moved: "You said earlier that Ao Qianjun ruined your path. Could it be that the scales of the Ancestral Dragon are the real reason?"

Taixuan nodded and said, “That’s right, Ao Qianjun gave me the Ancestral Dragon Scale back then, and I was grateful for that.

However, it was not until he broke through to the Divine Transformation Realm that he discovered that he had set a secret technique on the Ancestral Dragon's scales. Anyone from another race who used this technique to advance to the Divine Transformation Realm would uncontrollably transform into a true dragon's body, and the fruits of their life's cultivation would condense into dragon beads, which would eventually be passed on to the descendants of the Dragon Palace..."

Hearing this, Chen Mu suddenly realized, "In other words, you didn't truly become a true dragon, but were restricted by the secret technique and forced to transform into a true dragon body?"

Taixuan sighed deeply, the meaning was self-evident.

At this, Chen Mu frowned and murmured, "But I am just a human, how can I be transformed by secret techniques?

Besides, this Ancestral Dragon Scale of mine was obtained from the hands of this generation of Dragon King, so it may not contain that secret technique..."

Taixuan sneered upon hearing this, "What's the use of it being from this generation of Dragon King? It will eventually pass through the hands of that old dragon. With his vicious mind, do you dare to gamble?"
The reason I told you this is because I promised to help you achieve enlightenment. I don't want your life's work to be passed on to the descendants of the Dragon Palace before you've even achieved your goal!"

Chen Mu pondered in silence. For him, when it came to matters concerning his own path, it was better to believe in them than not to believe in them.

Besides, Taixuan and he now share the same fate, so there is no need to deceive him...

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and said in a serious tone: "Is there a solution?"

"Hum..."

Tai Xuan chuckled twice and said slowly, "There was nothing before, but after thousands of years of exploration, I now have some clues..."
