Xu Yanli reached up and held his forehead, completely at a loss.
It turns out that all my questions were for nothing.
He had hoped that he could glean some earth-shattering secrets from the old dragon who claimed to be his "father".
As it turned out, this person knew nothing about anything and was completely clueless.
"Then you should know how your bloodline ended up in a human body, right?" Xu Yanli was still not giving up and continued to ask.
Zihuang Mietianlong tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh, as if he had just remembered something: "Oh! I remember now! Ten thousand years ago, a human seemed to have broken in and told me that he wanted to borrow the bloodline of my descendants to save the world. I was sleeping soundly at the time, and I vaguely nodded in agreement. Later, that human left and apparently really did establish a country..."
Xu Yanli's lips twitched involuntarily.
So this is how the foundation of the Sun Moon Empire was established?
Just because an old dragon was dozing off, he casually nodded?
"What's that person's name?" he quickly asked.
"I can't remember," Zihuang Mietianlong said matter-of-factly. "That happened tens of thousands of years ago, who could remember that clearly? Do you even remember what you ate for breakfast in your past life?"
Xu Yanli was so choked up that he couldn't speak.
Not to mention his past life, sometimes he can't even remember what he ate for breakfast the day before.
That's not right, that's not the point at all!
According to this old dragon, he was not of royal blood from the Sun Moon Empire at all.
His Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul was "borrowed" from this old dragon by his mother, and had absolutely nothing to do with that cheap father emperor.
Even his father, the emperor, who was so proud of his royal bloodline, had "borrowed" it from this man.
Then what am I?
Did they steal from their own home?
Are you saying I'm their ancestor?
The more Xu Yanli thought about it, the more confused she became, and her head started to ache.
"That's not right." He suddenly raised his head, staring at the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. "If the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul of the Sun Moon Royal Family all came from you, then they and I..."
"We share the same origin, but we're not direct descendants." Zihuang Mietianlong waved his hand, looking like there was nothing to worry about. "Simply put, you're my direct bloodline, and they're just a branch of a branch. If your cheap father knew the truth, he'd have to call you ancestor when he sees you."
Xu Yanli: "…………"
This sounds like an insult.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
It seems I need to find a way to get rid of that cheap father of mine as soon as possible. If this gets out, his situation will become very precarious.
A prince with the legitimate bloodline of the Purple Emperor Extinction Dragon, whose mother is a princess of the Star Luo Empire.
On the bright side, they are chosen ones; on the dark side, they are pawns in the schemes between two countries, and may even become a thorn in everyone's side.
A cold glint flashed in Xu Yanli's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He looked up at the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon in the cave and said, "Senior, I understand. However, you said before that you wanted me to help you break the chains. With my current strength, I'm afraid I simply cannot do it..."
"No rush, no rush." Zihuang Mietianlong waved his hand again, his tone as relaxed as if he were chatting with someone. "You're only at the sixth ring now, which is really not enough. Once you become a god, you can easily cleave this broken chain. I've waited for tens of thousands of years, so a few more decades won't make a difference."
He paused, then suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh right, that little thing that hurt you earlier, I had it sacrifice itself for you. That guy lived for over two hundred thousand years and was a dragon-type soul beast, which is a perfect match for your martial soul. Although its bloodline isn't as pure as mine, it's more than enough to be your soul ring."
Before Xu Yanli could speak, a deep dragon roar came from outside the cave.
The voice was filled with resentment and helplessness, and finally with a hint of resigned acceptance.
Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the dense forest and landed on the open ground outside the cave.
It was a colossal dragon, entirely black, its scales gleaming with a cold, eerie light under the purple glow. Its wingspan was dozens of feet. It lowered its head, its enormous vertical pupils reflecting Xu Yanli's figure, its eyes filled with complex emotions.
"My lord," the black dragon spoke, his voice low and rumbling like thunder, "Do you really want me... to be sacrificed to this human?"
Zihuang Mietianlong nodded, his tone as casual as if he were commenting on the weather: "Yeah, go ahead. You won't survive the next tribulation anyway, so rather than being wiped out in the end, you might as well take a gamble. This kid has good talent; he might become a god someday. If you follow him, you might not be without a way to survive."
The black dragon remained silent for a long time.
Those huge vertical pupils stared intently at Xu Yanli, as if scrutinizing him, or as if making a final struggle.
After a long while, it finally lowered its head.
"it is good."
Xu Yanli stood there, looking at the dragon-like soul beast that had lived for more than 200,000 years, and was momentarily dazed.
He recalled a similar scene when he subdued the Snow Empress in the far north.
But this time, he did nothing; he just stood there, and the dragon arranged everything for him.
This feeling is neither good nor bad.
"Kid, are you ready?" The voice of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon came from the depths of the cave.
Xu Yanli took a deep breath and nodded.
The next second, the black dragon roared to the sky.
The howling sound shook the entire secret realm, and the originally purple sky instantly darkened, with rolling dark clouds and intertwined lightning.
A dark light shone from the dragon's body, growing brighter and more intense until it transformed into a towering purple pillar that dyed the entire sky a purplish-black.
Xu Yanli felt an indescribable, overwhelming force surging towards him.
It was not an attack, but a gift.
Two hundred thousand years of cultivation and accumulation transformed into pure soul power, surging into his body like a tidal wave.
His second martial soul, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, finally revealed its true form at this moment.
It's no longer the weak and listless thing it used to be.
A purple dragon shadow slowly coalesced behind him, its scales clearly defined, its horns sharp and rugged, and its eyes bright as torches.
It was a real dragon, carrying an aura of world destruction, as well as the innate pride and domineering nature of the dragon race.
Chapter 101 Soul Saint!
Two red spirit rings slowly rose from beneath his feet. They were not ordinary 100,000-year spirit rings, but spirit rings from divine beasts that were over 200,000 years old!
Xu Yanli closed his eyes, feeling the power surging wildly within his body.
His meridians were constantly expanding, his soul core was growing stronger, and even his spiritual sea was churning with towering waves.
His soul power level jumped from 69 to 70, 71, 72...
Finally, it stopped steadily at level 73.
From level 65 to level 73, he jumped eight levels in one go!
But that's not the most crucial point.
Most importantly, his second spirit finally got a second spirit ring.
A super spirit ring that is 200,000 years old and was sacrificed by a dragon-type spirit beast.
He slowly opened his eyes, the dark purple in them several shades deeper than before, carrying a captivating power.
"Thank you, senior." Xu Yanli bowed respectfully towards the depths of the cave, then turned to the gradually transparent black dragon and said softly, "Thank you as well."
The phantom of the black dragon circled in the air once before transforming into a streak of light and entering his body.
"I hope... you didn't make the wrong choice." These were its last words.
The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon in the cave nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, I've given you the soul ring, and your bloodline has awakened. You can leave now. Remember, after you become a god, come back and help me break this broken chain."
No sooner had he finished speaking than an invisible force enveloped him and pulled him out of the secret realm before he could even leave.
Xu Yanli felt a blur before her eyes, and her body felt light and airy, as if she were being carried upwards by the wind.
When his vision cleared again, he was already lying on a patch of grass.
Above me was a clear blue sky, and all I could hear were the chirping of birds and the sound of the wind.
The secret realm is gone, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon is gone, and even the aura of that black dragon can no longer be sensed.
Only the surging power within his body and the slowly rotating red spirit ring beneath his feet could prove that what had just happened was not a dream.
Xu Yanli lay on the grass, gazing at the sky, and suddenly chuckled softly.
Soul Saint, Seven Rings.
He's only thirteen years old this year.
In the valley on the other side, Yue Zhengling was almost frantic with worry.
His Highness has been missing for a full day and night.
Three hundred imperial guards turned the entire valley upside down, searching every inch of it, almost tearing the ground apart, but they found not a single clue.
His Highness vanished as if into thin air, without a trace.
Xiao Dingtian stood where Xu Yanli had disappeared, his face ashen.
He's lived so many years and weathered all sorts of storms, but in this situation, he truly has no way to help.
“General Xiao.” Yue Zhengling flew over quickly from a distance, her voice hoarse. “I have searched the entire south, but there is no trace of His Highness.”
Xiao Dingtian closed his eyes.
I've searched the north, east, and west, but found nothing.
Where did His Highness go?
"Keep searching!" He opened his eyes, his voice as cold as ice. "I want to see them alive or dead..."
Before he could finish speaking, a faint fluctuation of soul power suddenly came from afar.
Xiao Dingtian suddenly looked up, exchanged a glance with Yue Zhengling, and without saying a word, the two immediately rushed towards the direction from which the fluctuation came.
On a secluded hillside, they finally saw Xu Yanli.
The boy in white lay quietly on the grass, his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling gently.
There were no wounds on his body, and his breathing was steady, as if he were just asleep.
