The Heavenly Dragon Mark at Ye Yuan's glabella actually turned into one line after another, burrowing into his c.h.e.s.t like tiny snakes.
"Divine Stele Injecting Spirit! This boy …" Morningstar opened his mouth wide, a look of disbelief as he said.
He suddenly felt that he seemed to have done something wrong!
If he was a little more decisive, extending a helping hand when Ye Yuan was fighting with Long Yuan.
Even if Ye Yuan did not need his help, his current attitude would also be vastly different!
Long Xiaochun had a doubtful look and asked in puzzlement, "Divine Stele Injecting Spirit? What is that?"
Morningstar sighed emotionally and said, "The Heavenly Dragon Mark is born from the Dragon Mark Monument sensing dragon race bloodline. When your bloodline reaches the requirement of the Dragon Mark Monument, the Dragon Mark Monument will produce a resonance with your bloodline power, awakening from there. Of course, the requirement that the Dragon Mark Monument has for each awakening is different."
Morningstar paused for a bit, took a deep breath before saying, "But there is an exception! When your bloodline power is strong to a certain degree, the Dragon Mark Monument will take the initiative to inject a trace of dragon spirit into you, representing acknowledgment toward you! This is Divine Stele Injecting Spirit! And dragons that had obtained Divine Stele Injecting Spirit have a possibility of becoming … the next Dragon Ancestor!"
Long Xiaochun opened her mouth wide, shock written all over her face.
While the other dragons were all staring dumbfoundedly with their tongues tied, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.
Dragon Ancestor, that was the progenitor of all dragons, the strongest dragon race bloodline powerhouse!
All these countless dragons were his descendants.
After each generation of Dragon Ancestor, no idea how many hundreds of millions of years needed to pass before the next Dragon Ancestor would be born.
Because of this, it carried on from generation to generation.
Of course, it was only a possibility. It was not a certainty.
In a period, there would always have several Divine Stele Injecting Spirit appear.
But there was only one that would become Dragon Ancestor in the end!
No one could have thought that after Ye Yuan refined the dragon origin crystals, it would actually produce such an unforeseen turn of events.
At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly snapped open both eyes and gave a cold snort.
A streak of lightning flashed past, the imprint in the Heavenly Dragon Mark was directly wiped away!
"Heh, I knew that there was nothing good! Turns out that it was hiding here!" Ye Yuan slowly stood up and said with a cold smile.
Chapter 2176 - Leaving
In the deepest parts of the abyss, a light cry of surprise suddenly transmitted over.
Following that, several powerful auras started surging.
"What's wrong, Boss?" Bai Chen's voice came in the midst of darkness.
After being silent for a moment, the mysterious powerhouse slowly said, "That kid … erased the imprint that you left behind!"
Bai Chen was slightly surprised and said, "This isn't possible, right? Just based on his strength, he can discover the concealed means that I left behind? Unless …"
"That's right! Under the dragon spirit, nothing can hide! He … is already acknowledged by the Dragon Mark Monument!" The mysterious powerhouse's words carried some marveling.
"What? Old Bai just bestowed the Heavenly Dragon Mark and he obtained Divine Stele Injecting Spirit?"
"This kid has Your Father's style back then!"
"Another Divine Stele Injecting Spirit! Looks like … the next Dragon Ancestor is about to be born!"
… …
The moment mysterious powerhouse's words came out, a series of exclamation came over from the darkness.
Clearly, Divine Stele Injecting Spirit was also an extremely major thing to them as well.
Bai Chen suddenly said, "This boy, when I saw him back then, I kept feeling that he was extremely unusual! His realm was clearly not worth mentioning, but … I had a feeling of being unable to see through. Looking at it now, this boy is indeed extraordinary!"
The mysterious powerhouse said, "Heaven shall confer great responsibility onto this person! A great era is arriving, capable people are emerging! Now that the seal is getting more and more unstable, it likely can't last much longer. Once the abyss opens, the Heavenspan World will be plunged into an abyss of misery and suffering again! But what I'm most worried about isn't this! Perhaps, this boy is where the hope of this era lies!"
When everyone heard that, they all fell silent.
… …
The white light faded. Ye Yuan slowly stood up.
His upper garment was long already incinerated by blazing flames, revealing a strong muscular body.
A golden dragon was imprinted onto his c.h.e.s.t as if it was a living thing.
Even if it was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, in front of this golden dragon, they actually also had an impulse to prostrate in worship.
If not for their realm being too high, they would probably have long already knelt down.
However, the other Sons of the Heavenly Dragon did not have this kind of strength.
This horrifying bloodline pressure directly pressured them until they knelt on the ground!
Only Long Xiaochun alone was not affected.
Long Yuan wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into. He cracked himself up to be the Dragon Clan's number one genius. But now, he did not even have the qualifications to carry Ye Yuan's shoes anymore!
Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned, a white long robe was already put on his body.
He cupped his fists lightly toward Morningstar and said coolly, "Senior, now that things are over, this Ye takes my leave!"
Morningstar's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Hold on! You can't go!"
Ye Yuan frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Why? Does Senior still have something?"
Morningstar's expression flickered incessantly and he said, "Ye Yuan, the matter previously was all this emperor's fault! Now, this emperor sincerely welcomes you to join Heavenly Dragon Mountain!"
Ye Yuan chuckled when he heard that and said, "No need. There is little common ground for understanding between persons of differing principles! Moreover, this Ye still has more important things to do. I won't be going up Heavenly Dragon Mountain!"
Previously, you looked down on me. Now that you saw that my bloodline was powerful, you want to keep me behind?
The pride in Ye Yuan's heart was far greater than Long Yuan's.
It was just that he had experienced the many vicissitudes of life and would not show it at all, that was all.
But this kind of pride was carved into his bones.
Some things, he was disdainful to do!
Morningstar's face fell and he said, "Ye Yuan, since you obtained the Divine Stele Injecting Spirit, I'm afraid that leaving or staying isn't up to you anymore!"
Ye Yuan's two eyes narrowed and he said with a light smile, "You want to forcefully keep me back?
Morningstar said, "If you refuse to realize your mistake, then this emperor can only take action!"
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said, "Heh, in the end, your bones still think that I'm a different species! I obtained Divine Stele Injecting Spirit. Your Heavenly Dragon Mountain … will probably find it hard to eat and sleep after today, right?"
Morningstar's expression was somewhat ugly, and he said in a solemn voice, "Ye Yuan, I hope that you don't force me to take action!"
Ye Yuan laughed and said, "I, Ye Yuan, will rather break than bend! Want to make me go up the mountain, make your move then!"
At this time, Long Xiaochun suddenly blocked in front of Ye Yuan. Staring fixedly at Morningstar, she said, "Grandpa Morningstar, if you dare to make a move against Ye Yuan, I'll never go up the mountain!"
Morningstar's brows furrowed sl
ightly and he said, "Xiaochun, this is a serious matter! Don't mess around! Move aside!"
"I'm not moving!"
Morningstar's two eyes narrowed, his finger pointed lightly. Long Xiaochun then fainted.
With his strength, it was too easy to deal with Long Xiaochun.
Morningstar looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, "I'll be offending you then!"
Facing an opponent like Morningstar, even if Ye Yuan obtained Divine Stele Injecting Spirit, it was also completely impossible to be a match.
A late-stage Heavenly Emperor, that was a supreme level powerhouse who was capable of truly looking down upon the world.
Morningstar had not made a move yet, and Ye Yuan felt a giant mountain-like pressure descend on his body.
Just as Morningstar was about to make a move, his expression suddenly changed drastically!
The imposing aura on his body withdrew, and he let out a sigh and said, "Forget it, leave!"
Seeing this scene, everyone could not help being very surprised.
Lord Morningstar actually shrunk back?
The Long Yuan who was originally waiting to watch a good show could not help dropping his glasses.
Just as he thought that Ye Yuan was finally going to be forced to submit, Morningstar actually brushed it over easily!
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed and he said, "Who was that person?"
His heart was akin to a clear mirror, immediately aware that it was that major power who bestowed him the Heavenly Dragon mark that gave the order.
It was just that he was very curious about that person's identity.
Morningstar shook his head and said, "When the time is right, you'll naturally know! Ye Yuan, remember, no matter where you go, you'll always be my Dragon Clan's pride!"
Ye Yuan's mouth curled, and he turned around and left.
He had a lot of fetters with the Dragon Clan and also did not have any irreconcilable conflicts, there was naturally no way to cut away.
It was just that he did not like Morningstar's way of doing things. That was all.
After Ye Yuan left, Long Tianyu's face revealed an indignant expression and he said, "Lord Morningstar, letting him go just like that? On his body, there's the Dragon Clan's destiny!"
Although he did not want to admit it, Long Tianyu still had no choice but to admit that Ye Yuan's talent already exceeded their understanding.
The significance of Ye Yuan's existence was also far more important than they imagined!
How could such a person move around freely outside?
Morningstar's face fell and he yelled coldly, "Does this emperor still need you to direct me how to do things? Get lost!"
Long Tianyu's expression changed, and he could only retreat to one side obediently.
Morningstar currently needed a target to vent at this time and Long Tianyu ran out.
Scold who if not him?
At this time, Morningstar's heart was surging turbulently like a tsunami!
It turned out that that legendary lord was actually still alive!
It turned out that Ye Yuan's Heavenly Dragon Mark was actually bestowed by him!
Ye Yuan was actually the person that he picked!
How many years had he already not appeared?
Including those supreme powerhouses of Heavenly Dragon Mountain, they all also thought that that lord had already died long ago.
Morningstar did not think that he was actually still living in this world!
This news made his mind, a late-stage Heavenly Emperor's mental state, shook.
Earlier, in front of Ye Yuan, he barely managed to maintain composure and nearly broke decorum.
He was thinking, if anything really happened to Ye Yuan earlier, would that lord directly smack him to death with one slap or not?
Chapter 2177 - Is There Still a Need to Compete After Another Thousand Years?
At the Falling Maple Mountain Range in the Middle Realms.
This place was endowed with a beautiful scenic environment, immortal qi lingering in the air. The entire mountain range was hidden in the fog, unable to see the actual situation.
Powerful spiritual energy was akin to the spring rain, nourishing everything in the mountain range.
On a narrow winding trail, a man and a woman were walking shoulder to shoulder, moving along.
"Young Master, is Elder Sister Li-er really here?"
"That's right! I'd once inquired from Jian Sutao before; Lin Changqing came from Fallen Maple Bodhidharma!"
"Is this Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple very strong?"
"Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple is Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor, an extremely famous powerhouse of the Middle Realms!"
"Then … if he harms you?"
"He … won't dare!"
This one man and one woman were none other than precisely the Ye Yuan and Lu-er who came from afar.
After leaving Heavenly Dragon Mountain, Ye Yuan went back to release Long Xiao and the rest, and signed a soul contract with them, taking them in as servants.
Following that, he ordered Ning Tianping to bring along Long Xiao, Loneswan, Long Xun, and the rest to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
While he brought along Lu-er and directly came to the Middle Realms' Fallen Maple Mountain Range.
Now that his strength was already sufficient, Ye Yuan could not wait a moment longer, directly rushing up to Fallen Maple Bodhidharma to find Li-er.
After the Divine Stele Injecting Spirit, Ye Yuan's realm skyrocketed once more.
Presently, his realm was already comparable to a Second Firmament Empyrean.
After Chaos Realm, Ye Yuan's realm was completely different from before.
Chaos Realm was divided into initial-stage, middle-stage, and late-stage. Before reaching the middle-stage, he would not encounter bottlenecks.
But according to the division of Empyrean Realm, his strength was currently roughly equivalent to a Second Firmament Empyrean.
While his chaos world also expanded to a distance of 5000 feet already.
"Halt!" The two people were currently walking when two people suddenly jumped out of the fog, blocking the two people's path.
One of them said in a solemn voice, "This place isn't a place that you guys should come to! Hurry up and leave!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Demon Clan's Priest Temple's Second Sage and Dragon Clan's Heaven's Chosen Son, Ye Yuan, came to keep the agreement with Lin Changqing!"
When the two people heard that, their faces could not help changing.
These two titles, either one could scare people to death.
The demon race's Priest Temple was one of the demon race's top factions.
Sacred Ancestor High Priest was an existence second only to the Medicine Ancestor in the Heavenspan World.
The Priest Temple's Second Sage, what kind of existence was that?
As for the Dragon Clan, that was even more terrifying!
Although the Dragon Clan was reclusive, the Heavenspan World never lacked legends of the dragon race.
Major powers emerged from this clan, it was a genuine apex race.
The Dragon Clan's Heaven's Chosen Son … Using one's b.u.t.t to think, they would also know that he was extraordinary.
"This guy looks very ordinary, saying that he has such a big background. He wouldn't be bluffing people, right?"
"Are you stupid?! We can't see through this guy's depths at all! He's likely at least an Empyrean class powerhouse too! The two of us can't make the call for this matter. Better invite Lord Yufeng to make a decision!"
"Right, right! What you said is right!"
The two people discussed softly for a while and said to Ye Yuan, "This lord, you wait for a moment. We'll go in and report!"
Ye Yuan nodded slightly and did not mind.
Before long, a middle-aged man wearing an exquisite long robe slowly walked out of the fog.
He sized Ye Yuan up and said with a frown, "This little brother, you said that you have an agreement with Junior
Apprentice Brother Changqing?"
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a nod, "That's right! A life-and-death agreement!"
The moment these words came out, the faces of Zheng Yufeng and the guards changed wildly.
They all did not think that Ye Yuan was actually here to cause trouble!
Zheng Yufeng said in a solemn voice, "Your esteemed self have such gall, to actually dare come to our Fallen Maple Bodhidharma to cause trouble!"
Ye Yuan flipped his palm over, a token appeared in his hand.
A profound and archaic aura hit him in the face.
Zheng Yufeng's expression changed drastically. He could sense that the aura on this token was much stronger than even his master's aura! It was absolutely not an ordinary item!
On the face of the token, two large, simple, and archaic characters were written on it, 'Second Sage'!
This Second Sage Token was brought by Ji Mo back then. It was personally forged by Sacred Ancestor High Priest. It was used to symbolize Ye Yuan's identity.
It was one of a kind!
"This token was given by Sacred Ancestor High Priest. I think that in this world, there shouldn't be more than a few people who can imitate it, right? If you still have doubts, then take a look at this!"
As he said, Ye Yuan pulled aside his lapel, revealing the golden dragon imprint on his c.h.e.s.t.
Seeing this golden dragon, Zheng Yufeng's expression became even uglier.
That golden dragon was incomparably ferocious, as if it was a living thing; as if in the next instant, it was going to pounce over and bite him to death!
He was not aware of the Dragon Clan's matters. But a Second Sage newly-emerging in the Demon Clan, cracking the eternal chess game, 'Ask Not', he had heard of it.
He previously still thought that some major power emerged in the Demon Clan. He did not expect that the so-called Second Sage was actually so young!
Even more so, he never expected that the Demon Clan's Second Sage was actually a human!
Zheng Yufeng's heart shook wildly. When did Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing provoke such a powerful existence?
At this time, Zheng Yufeng no longer doubted and said with cupped fists, "Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple's disciple, Zheng Yufeng, pays respect to Second Sage! I wonder how Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing offended Lord Second Sage? Yufeng will apologize on his behalf!"
