Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1003 Path

【Du Long Wang】.

Before Lü Yang finished speaking, it was as if a door had been opened, and in an instant, the sensation from the heartbeat of the Ancestral Dragon was raised several levels.

The violent change spread outwards from him, and the sound that reached the old dragon king's ears turned into a deafening dragon roar, filled with intense anger and resentment, almost shattering his soul and extinguishing his golden nature. If this place were not the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man], heavenly punishment would probably have already descended!

Old Dragon King lowered his body even further.

At this moment, he was almost completely lying on the ground, and after a long while, he said weakly, "Father, you are right, it is indeed the [Dragon King]."

This is precisely the name of the fruition that the Old Dragon King intended to attain through emptiness.

Its foundation is similar to that of the Taiyin Immortal Venerable's [Gathering of Gold], both relying on the power of all living beings, except that the [Dragon King]'s target is the true dragon race.

"As long as I can prove the [Capital Dragon King], the True Dragon Clan will surely receive the blessing of a fruit position, and from then on they will no longer be restricted by water. Their bloodline can return to the level of the nobles of heaven and earth in the past. Given time, if the [Capital Dragon King] advances to the level of Great True Monarch, then the True Dragon Clan will become Golden Core True Monarchs upon reaching adulthood."

One clan raises one path.

Both are interdependent; if one prospers, the other prospers; if one suffers, the other suffers. If the True Dragon Clan is wiped out, the [Capital Dragon King] will be destroyed. But if the [Capital Dragon King] becomes powerful, the True Dragon Clan will also become more powerful.

So what is the cost?

'The Dragon King symbolizes the head of the true dragons, and the former head of the true dragons was the Ancestral Dragon. The harmony of their auras will give the Ancestral Dragon a chance to escape its predicament.'

This offended the four dogs of the Immortal Pivot.

'However, on the other hand, the [Dragon King] essentially steals the power of the Ancestral Dragon. If this is truly proven, the Ancestral Dragon will inevitably weaken further.'

This offended the First Emperor again.

For the four dogs of the Immortal Pivot, the seal of the Ancestral Dragon was already perfect. Even if the Old Dragon Lord could weaken the Ancestral Dragon, it would not make much sense and would only increase the variables.

As for Zulong, although the Dragon King could give him a chance to escape, this was not the old dragon king's original intention. It was like when the emperor was still in power, there were powerful ministers who controlled the government. Even if the result of controlling the government was good, if their hearts were bad, they would still be punished and their families wiped out afterward.

'That old mudskipper has some nerve!'

As for the Old Dragon Lord, Lü Yang had already vaguely grasped his essence. The answer was simple: the True Dragon Clan. This was the Old Dragon Lord's greatest weakness.

After all, would the Dragon King be of any benefit to the Old Dragon Lord himself?
Of course there are, but actually not many.

With Lao Longjun's abilities, he could have easily chosen other investment directions, some that were safer, more beneficial to himself, and without hidden risks.

But he chose the most dangerous option, offending both sides, the Dragon King. Was he blind to the situation? Of course not. What kind of person is the Old Dragon King? He has survived since the Golden Age. It's not that he can't see the situation; on the contrary, he sees it all too clearly, which is why he has the courage to take the risk!
So what made him willing to take such a risk?

'They are members of the true dragon clan.'

Through the life calculations in the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], Lü Yang clearly understood the old Dragon Lord's thoughts when making this decision; to put it bluntly, it boiled down to one sentence:

It is our duty to restore the glory of the true dragon!
"interesting."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but chuckle: "It's a pity, Ao Guang, that you haven't proven your [Dragon King] yet, and you're stuck at the external hindrance of the Five True Treasures."

The path to emptiness has an internal and external distinction.

Internally, we seek solutions by borrowing; externally, we respond by seizing.

The key to overcoming the bottleneck lies in "borrowing," also known as "borrowing the false to refine the true."

The challenge of external response is to unite the five treasures into one, allowing them to communicate and respond outwards, seizing the creation of heaven and earth, and fulfilling one's Dao fruit. Therefore, this challenge is extremely mysterious, requiring not only comprehension but also opportunity, destiny, and even whether you have the fate to achieve it.

To put it bluntly, it depends on whether the Dao Lord allows it.

If the Dao Lord allows it, then you are a pig, without the slightest wisdom. But even if opportunities come one after another and your destiny rises, you are destined to attain enlightenment in vain.

If the Dao Lord does not allow it, then even if you are exceptionally talented and have unparalleled comprehension, like the first Demon-Taming Peak Master, you will still be destined to be a hero without freedom.

【Angxiao】, Flying Snow, Demon Slayer, Taiyin Immortal Venerable.

Which one isn't like that? And it's quite obvious that the Old Dragon Lord is not within the scope allowed by the Dao Lord—so even if he gathers all five true treasures, he still can't attain enlightenment in vain.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the old dragon king, who had been kneeling on the ground, straightened up and, without saying a word, slammed his forehead heavily in front of Lü Yang.

"Father, please lend me a hand."

He saw it.

Lu Yang didn't seem to have any intention of killing him. Even after learning about the existence of the [Dragon King], he remained very calm and showed no reaction.

With the old Dragon King's keen insight, he immediately realized: 'He doesn't object? No, he even supports me! Otherwise, why would he tell me all this? Wouldn't it be simpler and more efficient to just kill me? Moreover, this person's connection with the Ancestral Dragon is deeper than mine; perhaps he can help me take the final step!'

Thinking of this, he bowed deeply once again.

However, upon seeing this, Lü Yang's expression remained unchanged. He merely raised his chin and said in a low, enigmatic tone:

"Ao Guang, now you know to beg me."

"We haven't seen each other for many years, and now that we've met, you're bowing to me so deeply. I can't even remember the last time you bowed to me."

"To be honest, you never wanted to see me; you were afraid to see me."

Upon hearing this, the old dragon clenched his teeth: "I just don't want to cause trouble."

"I understand."

Lu Yang nodded slightly: "You severed the bloodline connection, you cultivated the Cave Heaven Technique, and the four Immortal Pivot members will protect you. You're doing quite well now."

"Of course you don't want to see me."

As he finished speaking, Lü Yang's voice grew even lower and more sinister: "Yet now, you stand here and say you want me to lend you a hand."

"You have no respect for me at all."

"You won't even call me master."

Upon hearing this, the old dragon king finally lost all composure, his eyes revealing genuine and unmistakable terror, as if his secret had been exposed.

That's right, these are the real titles used between the Old Dragon King and the Ancestral Dragon.

The so-called father and son is just a facade for outsiders. Zulong is unique. The dragon race was created out of thin air by him, so how could he regard them as his own kind?

This is a secret that even the Dao Lord doesn't know.

For a moment, the old dragon king's expression shifted between light and shadow, and after a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a voice:
"What do I have to give?"

"Ao Guang, Ao Guang, what have I done to make you disrespect me like this?"

Lu Yang shook his head, then sighed: "If you had come to me as a servant, you could have gotten the help you wanted today."

“If my servant is wronged, then his enemy will also be my enemy.”

"The same principle applies to the other side."

Upon hearing this, the old dragon king fell silent again, understanding the unspoken meaning: what the other party wanted was not benefits, but a clear stance.

My enemy? My friend?
After a long silence, the old dragon king finally looked up at Lü Yang and respectfully said, "Master."

At this moment, he no longer cared whether the person in front of him was the First Emperor. None of that mattered. What mattered was whether he could profit from him.

Whether you are my father or not.

If you can help me prove the existence of the Dragon King, you will be my father from now on!
