The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 21 I am Dongfang Taiyi, entering the Dragon's Nest

The minions of the underworld appear, and the royal relics collapse.

Amidst the ruins, Wang Hongwu met the royal family of Wanlong Nest, and was told the origin of the token in his hand.

Ancient Emperor's Token? He was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the Ancient Emperor's soldiers disappeared, but this token remained. It was a pleasant surprise.

The use of this thing is very subtle. To a certain extent, it is the guarantee of safe entry and exit from the Taichu Ancient Mine, and even the exchange for important resources.

If one day I were to encounter a disaster and be chased by the Ancestral King, I could use this opportunity to escape into it.

In the normal historical line, Duan De had dug out a piece from the ruins of a disappeared royal family, and now it just happened to match.

"This is undoubtedly the ancient imperial order. It contains a mysterious aura that cannot be imitated. Young master, this person really has great luck!" Although the ancestor king is a humanoid creature, he is covered with purple scales. At this moment, his eyes almost popped out as he stared at the mysterious ancient order, and he was even more amazed at Wang Hongwu's great luck.

You can get the Dao trace of the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell by overcoming the tribulation, and you can get the Ancient Emperor's Order quietly by breaking into the ruins. Who can encounter such a good thing?
"With both the Immortal Seed and the Ancient Emperor's Order, it would be unreasonable not to recruit him." His Highness Wanlong raised his eyebrows. Things were really getting interesting. It seemed that he was being favored by luck.

The heir of the royal blood immediately stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Fellow Daoist, please stay. You and my clan are destined to be together."

Fate? Wang Hongwu was a little dazed by this scene, and then he realized that it was probably because of the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor Qi he had obtained from the heavenly tribulation, and the fact that the dragon bodies transformed by the Four Symbols Azure Dragons were of the same dragon bloodline, that they were considered to be destined.

But if he obtained these as the Son of the Sun God, the situation would be completely different. The other party might even kill and rob him. Since they were not of the same clan or bloodline, they would naturally be treated differently. Not to mention that the relationship between Wanlong Nest and the Fighting Royal Family was already bad, and there was Dique's favor in between. He could not take this risk.

"The Wanlongchao family is large and powerful, but I have never heard of any bloodline lost outside. I am not a member of the Longchao clan. Although we are both descendants of the dragon blood clan, I belong to the Azure Dragon. What do you mean by this, my friend?" He squeezed out a look of confusion, but had no intention of pretending to be a person from the Wanlong Zuxing, because that would be too easy to be seen through. It would be better for him to pretend to be a casual cultivator.

The descendant of the royal bloodline is here, so he can naturally distinguish the real from the fake. If his magical power was not a special fusion of two methods, and if it were not for the broken bowl covering it, there would be a danger of being discovered.

"No, the reason why our Wanlongchao family is so large and powerful is that we have integrated various dragon blood clans. There are nine different dragon veins within our clan alone. If we count the affiliated royal families, there are even more. We all have the lofty goal of becoming true dragons.

And I see that my friend, your essence, energy and spirit have been melted, and you have given birth to divine energy in the fairyland. It can be seen that the ancient scripture you have cultivated is extraordinary, at least it is a volume of the ultimate scripture, and you have obtained a rare item like the Ancient Emperor's Order. Naturally, I want to make friends with such a destined friend. Moreover, you have the blood of the Azure Dragon and the ancestral energy of all dragons. This is obviously the characteristic of my dragon blood clan. What's wrong with returning to your roots and strengthening the clan?

Right now, the various tribes are in turmoil. A single mistake could lead to bloodshed. The ancestral kings don't want to cause the death or injury of saints, so they've handed many conflicts over to the younger generation to resolve. The tribes are keen to recruit young masters, which is why those who ride the wave are so popular. This is also why I want to recruit you. Bloodlines are always more reliable than outsiders."

His Highness Wanlong was very sincere and directly explained the reason. It was a decision made under the influence of many factors, especially the Wanlong Bell Dao Mark and the Ancient Emperor's Order, both of which were of great importance to the royal family.

The ancestral kings were doing their utmost to avoid conflict, so the younger generation became the perfect arena for resolving those conflicts. Ten Thousand Dragon Nest naturally couldn't allow the descendants of the ancient emperor to be seen every day, right? They had to find some figures who could hold up the front. At least, at the moment, no one in the clan had transcended the tribulation to attract the ultimate military tribulation and obtain the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor's aura.

If I finally find this and then let it run away, I will have no place to cry!
The Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestor King also nodded slightly. His sage ears could clearly hear the supreme and profound ancient chanting coming from this person's secret realm.

In fact, because the broken bowl obscured and confused the secrets, neither of them could see Wang Hongwu's true cultivation level, nor his complete background. Everything was vague and ambiguous, and they could only guess.

No matter how much he explored, he could only sense a fluctuation like that of a giant immortal, and guessed that he had set foot in the secret realm of Xiantai.

"This is not a matter of a few words. Besides, I am just a casual cultivator and I have made many enemies when I go out. It would be bad if the dirty water was brought to the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest. Let me consider it." Wang Hongwu looked conflicted and even dragged some enemies into it. He was wondering whether he should use the power of the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest to suppress those guys who were targeting the Ziwei Sect.

After all, there are several vicious tribes in it, all of whom have enemies all over the world. They will not arouse the suspicion of Wanlong Nest, so they still have to be sensible.

Enemies? His Highness Wanlong couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. "What enemies could there be in front of my Wanlong Nest?
If you're worried about these things, you should join the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest. We'll naturally have someone to punish anyone who dares to act recklessly."

"Since you can't think of it right now, why don't you come with us? Just think of it as a journey through the Eastern Wilderness." The Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestor King also spoke up. He found that the more this young man studied, the more amazing he became. It was like he had found a treasure while traveling. May the Ancestor King bless you!
Sorry for bothering you... Wang Hongwu bowed and followed the two of them, leaving the ruins and heading towards the Eastern Wilderness.

Since he came to Beidou, he has been traveling in Zhongzhou. Now he is about to enter the most unpredictable East Wilderness. Who can predict the changing weather?
But when everyone left, the story of this relic continued, attracting many creatures and spreading a lot of news.

In the following days, the five regions were shaken, and words such as royal relics, mythical underworld, and ominous red hair became the focus of discussion among the people.

Even those who experienced it personally don’t know what is involved. Various versions have been circulated and no one can explain it clearly.

Some people said that the Holy Prince was attacked there, and the Ancestral King and his tribe attacked him, and a bloody battle broke out. In the end, the Holy Ape killed the powerful man with force and retreated against the Taoist Slayer. There was suspected shadow of the Youying Clan behind this, because someone saw Kun Zhou and the Holy King of Fighting confronting each other in another large domain.

Some people also said that the Son of the Sun God of the human race had obtained a great opportunity in the ruins. Not only did he kill masters in succession and cause thunder to kill powerful people, he also obtained a holy weapon handed down from generation to generation. His strength increased greatly, attracting countless young people to admire him. The geniuses were eager to challenge and become famous.

Some people also said that a demon from the underworld appeared in the ruins, with a black sun hanging from his head. He robbed the Medicine King and devoured and killed living beings. He did not die in this battle, but followed them out instead, intending to cause chaos in the human world, causing many small tribes on the border of the Eastern Wilderness to tremble with fear.

Some even said that the royal ancestors were alarmed and fought against those evil spirits, holy corpses and red-haired creatures, paying a heavy price in blood. In the end, they were so terrified that they had to retreat and designated the area within a radius of 100 miles as a forbidden zone that was strictly prohibited from being touched.

Various rumors, difficult to tell whether true or false, are stirring up the world.

Ten days later, in the northern region of the Eastern Wasteland, Xuefeng City.

This is a city repaired by the Hades. They also built a Hades Palace in the nearby snow-capped mountains. The city is surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters, strange ancient trees, gurgling streams, and faint bird calls, which is quite otherworldly.

In an exquisite courtyard, there are tall green pines and clear springs gurgling, falling down to form colorful small waterfalls, and the sky is shrouded in mist and haze.

Under the waterfall, Wang Hongwu sat cross-legged with a jade table in front of him, on which were spiritual fruits and fine wine, which sparkled with crystal luster.

In front, His Highness Wanlong was playing the zither. His fingers were nimble, and he produced a very pleasant tune. Fairy music flowed between the strings, brushing against the flowers, which bloomed in an instant, passing through the clear springs, wafting into the sky, and attracting all kinds of birds to dance around them.

"Your Highness's piano music is in tune with the Tao, resonating with heaven and earth. Your own cultivation has long been intertwined with the order of heaven and earth. Given time, you will be able to reproduce the divine power of your fathers." After the song was over, Wang Hongwu was the first to clap his hands and praise. This was not a compliment, but he really got some benefits from the piano music and had some insights. After all, the other party was a real powerful person, intertwined with the order of heaven and earth.

His Highness Wanlong put away the guqin and smiled without saying a word.

"Have you thought about it these days, young friend?" The Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestor King took over the conversation and smiled. If this fairy seedling grew up in the clan, its status would also rise, and it might even gain more opportunities, so he naturally took it seriously.

Wang Hongwu nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Of course I am willing. It is better to have a clan land that can shelter you from the wind and rain than to be rootless. I am from the Qinglong lineage, Dongfang Taiyi." Since he had fabricated his identity, he naturally had to fabricate a name as well to distinguish himself from the Son of the Sun God.

"Dongfang Taiyi, what a good name. Dongfang Qinglong, Yimu Taiyi, very good. Just hearing it makes me feel that it has a destiny with my Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. I think Saint King Qianlun and his father, the Great Sage, will be very happy. Our clan has gained such a fairy seedling.

But it's still a little hard to explain here, how about we go into the clan's territory and talk about it?"

When they heard the four words "Dongfang Taiyi", somehow, His Highness Wanlong and the Zuwang had an inexplicable feeling, as if this name would cause great entanglement with them.

It was as if I was destined to be entangled with them, triggering all kinds of major events, and sharing the rise and fall.

Perhaps, this is God's will.

"Father, may your Majesty bless you, this is the one you have chosen." His Highness Wanlong clasped his hands together and looked up to the sky, believing that this was a good fate.

Only Wang Hongwu's expression was very subtle, with a hint of an uncontrollable smile. Dongfang Taiyi was indeed very connected to the Wanlong Nest, and even to Qianlun and his son.

In the normal history without his influence, the Ziwei human race arrived thousands of years in advance. The Sun and the Moon, two practitioners of Dongfang Taiyi who were called human demons, had a big problem. They were gods during the day and demons at night. They ravaged the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest and defeated the two great saints, Qianlun and his son. The younger one's heart of Taoism was shattered, and the older one was beaten into a plant dragon. In the end, they had to use the ultimate weapon to seal them in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest.

At present, the human race is much late in migration, but I have changed my name to Dongfang Taiyi and am about to enter the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest. It is really a kind of fate.

"Don't worry, after returning to the clan, we are all one family. We will provide resources to train you. If you can defeat other dragon-blooded seedlings in the clan, that would be even better." His Highness Wanlong achieved his goal and spoke more. Naturally, he wanted to appease this clan member and make him feel a sense of belonging.

In particular, there are quite a few descendants of subordinate dragon blood in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest. After all, the true dragon is a major evolutionary direction. In addition, with the intention of recruiting and relying on them, they naturally gathered together to form a behemoth. The Azure Dragon bloodline was once known as the true spirit of the four directions. Although its status is not as high as the imperial bloodline, it is naturally considered top-notch among the dragon bloodlines.

By recruiting them and marrying them, they can leave behind further Dragon Nest bloodline and inherit their parents' talents. This is also a common method used by the major royal families. Otherwise, it would be difficult to reproduce to such a large scale with just their own small numbers.

"Should I go to the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest to get some resources, use my identity to exchange for cultivation resources, and then bring them back to the Ziwei Sect?"

Wang Hongwu was a little conflicted. He felt like he was sacrificing his looks in exchange for resources for the reproduction and development of his tribe.

Alas! For the sake of Ziwei Sect and the human race, he must sacrifice himself!

After a moment, His Highness of the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest and the Ancestral King exchanged a glance. Why did this guy have such a rich expression, changing back and forth, as if he was going to a den of dragons and tigers?
"Honestly, young friend, you don't have to worry. We just want you to return to our clan for a chat. We have no intention of harming you. If you're still worried, we can swear a great oath.

We will do the same when other dragonbloods join us, so there is no need to worry."

Seeing him like this, the King of Ten Thousand Dragons simply made a polite suggestion. This kind of oath is very solemn and formal, and will not be touched upon lightly.

"Senior, you are so thoughtful. I fully agree with you. Thank you for your help." Wang Hongwu's eyes lit up when he heard this and he agreed immediately, which made His Highness Wanlong's smile freeze.

No way? It's just a polite gesture, but you took it seriously?

Seeing Wang Hongwu nodding seriously, the King of Wanlongchao was speechless. This kid was really quick to take advantage of the situation and was too wary!
But it's better this way. After all, not everyone in the tribe is of one mind. The Nine Caves are the Nine Veins. There is no shortage of ambitious and radical people. It is reasonable to take more precautions. Instead, he looked up to the young man.

Moreover, the ancient emperor's order is really important. Anyone would be cautious if they were to receive it. It is nothing for them to pay some price for it.

After making the oath of the Great Dao, Wang Hongwu felt much more at ease. In addition, he sensed the aura of the Taiyin Sect Leader nearby, so he used the broken bowl as a cover to blend into the shadows again and followed the two of them.

Deep in the Northern Territory, the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest Clan is located in a huge abyss underground. The abyss is as dark as ink, like a bottomless pit that devours people's minds and makes them sink into it.

Wang Hongwu looked down and saw dragon energy gushing out, rolling like a tide, even driving a lot of divine source particles to rush up, so rich that it left people speechless. Listening carefully, he could hear the faint sounds of dragon roars and chanting from the bottom, which was mysterious and weird.

The abyss was tens of thousands of feet deep. When they landed on the ground, an ancient and desolate atmosphere came to their faces. At the base of the thousand-foot cliff, there were nine ancient caves lined up in a row. They were connected internally. This was the entrance to the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

"This place bears some resemblance to the rumored prehistoric dragon's nest." Wang Hongwu's eyes flickered as he tentatively inquired. His Highness Wanlong nodded and said, "Father sought this place as his clan's home because it was once an abandoned dragon's nest, harbouring a lingering dragon aura. It held a profound influence, but whether its original owner was pureblood remains unknown."

As they were talking, they had already reached the end. There was a huge stone gate blocking the way ahead. There were many ancient characters engraved on it, and the aura of the Great Dao emanated from it, as if it was branded by a holy weapon and had its own life.

The two creatures in charge of guarding the gate are both powerful. Their upper bodies are human-shaped with three heads and six arms, and their lower bodies are grown snake bodies. They are covered with purple scales and are three meters long.

Seeing them return, he first bowed respectfully and made way for them, then lowered his head and glanced at Wang Hongwu subtly.

Who is this guy?
It has never appeared before, but was brought back by His Highness Wanlong and the Zuwang personally?

I'm afraid it's a big deal!

Inside the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, life essence is like a tide, and dragon energy is surging like a river. It seems that there is really a dragon sleeping in the deepest part.

"How is it? The environment inside the clan is a unique blessing for the Dragonborn, and it is simply unattainable in the outside world. If you practice here for a long time, your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

His Highness Wanlong gave a reminder and pointed to the many ancient caves in the dragon's nest. They were full of the vicissitudes of time. The dragon energy was surging like the river and the sea, and the auspicious light was flowing.

Looking closely, there were figures sitting cross-legged inside. They were the descendants of the Dragon's Nest, practicing with dragon energy. There were celebrities, giants, powerful men and kings. Their ages were not considered old in their realm, and they had great potential.

"In this way, I can use the dragon energy here to integrate the new and ancient realms into one, and create an attacking and killing magical power of the imperial dragon energy!" Wang Hongwu was determined to take advantage of the opportunity to cultivate another Taoist fruit that blended the two methods.

Come all come!
