The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 22: The Dragon Soars from the Divine Nest

The nest of thousands of dragons and the ancient caves are like honeycombs, densely packed. This is a sacred land blessed by nature.

It is said that this should have been the lair of a real dragon, and only gods could live there. The Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor and even this line of royal family actually migrated from the depths of the universe. The home planet of this clan is infinitely far away from the Big Dipper, and only a few people throughout the ages knew its coordinates.

As for why they came to Beidou, the Zuwang and His Highness Wanlong did not say, but Wang Hongwu knew that it was because of the path to immortality.

The road to becoming an immortal in the past appeared on Feixian Star, so many strong men gathered there; later it also appeared once on Yinghuo, and directly destroyed that place; later, it was Beidou. The ancient emperors all calculated this, so they led their tribes here to reproduce, and sealed the most outstanding offspring to wait for opportunities.

"Although we are of the same clan, ultimately, strength and talent are what count. You're a newcomer, and the heir to the throne personally welcomed you. You can't guarantee that many people will have ulterior motives towards you. If necessary, take action. As long as you are careful and measured, it won't be excessive."

The ancestor king of ten thousand dragons reminded that its name was Qian Kang, and although it was a saint, it was still a long way from the realm of the Saint King, so it placed its chance on the found tribesman.

Then there is nothing to worry about... Wang Hongwu nodded when he heard this. The two things he was best at were fighting and practicing, and most of the time, these two things went together.

"I'm going to discuss something with the Great Sage. You can find a place here to practice and gain enlightenment. It will only take a moment." His Highness Wanlong gave some instructions and walked towards the depths of the dragon's nest.

After the figure walked away, Wang Hongwu pointed at the dragon cave that was filled with people and asked, "Is there anyone here who dislikes me and wants to cause trouble for me?"

"Young man, you are too extreme. Normally, no one would be so idle, unless they think there is something wrong with you and want to find a reason to suppress you in advance." The ancestral king paused. Although the customs of the ten thousand races were rather barbaric and bloody, it was not too severe.

"In other words, I can also find a reason to cause trouble for others and dislike them?" Wang Hongwu understood. That would be great. How could it be more interesting to take the initiative to cause trouble than to be provoked by others?
He always likes to take the initiative. When he first arrives, he wants to show up once and for all to avoid being bothered in the future.

Emperor Qiankang looked in the direction pointed by Wang Hongwu and found that all the dragon caves were occupied. If they wanted to practice, they could only wait for someone to come out. This was intentional. This had never happened before. Obviously, someone took advantage of His Highness's absence to test the so-called immortal seedlings.

There's no need to waste time talking. It immediately laughed and said, "As long as you can control the situation and know when to stop, it'll be fine. Many people are watching. Even if you don't take action, someone will soon come to test you. It's better to take the initiative.

Status is earned through fighting. No matter how many rumors there are, they still need to be proven through actual combat. I’m afraid many of them don’t believe it.”

Although the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest is not as numerous as the Twelve Mountains of the Blood Phoenix Mountain and the Eighteen Caves of the Golden Cave, it also has nine major dragon cave veins, and there is reasonable competition within it. Besides, there is no one from his side here anyway, so it doesn't matter.

After getting the guarantee, Wang Hongwu came directly to the densely packed dragon caves and looked at this group of talents selected from the major affiliated royal families and his own clan. There was no shortage of powerful people and slayers among them. Their youth was relative to their realm.

"Is that the Azure Dragon bloodline that His Highness personally received?" "It looks like he has the cultivation level of an Immortal One, neither high nor low. I just don't know how much real ability he has."

"I heard that the tribulation attracted the phantom of the imperial soldiers and obtained the Dao Mark from it, which is why it is valued. But I don't believe it. I haven't verified it at all. How can something that hasn't happened in tens of thousands of years happen now? It's too coincidental."

In the densely packed dragon cave, some people were whispering, and they all opened their eyes and looked at Wang Hongwu.

Over the years, there have been bloodlines brought back by the ancestor king himself, but this is the first and probably the only one in which the ancient emperor's heir has personally taken the initiative.

However, its authenticity has not been verified, which makes many people feel dissatisfied.

"I think it's just good luck. It's not worth taking it so seriously. Someone will try to test him and expose his true intentions."

"Lucky? I think you're just jealous. Who's lucky enough to attract a supreme military tribulation? Thunder tribulations have always been based on strength. If you're not good at it, practice more. Stop criticizing others all day long. You're overconfident and incompetent."

"It's a pity that Brother Lei Zhan is not here, otherwise this guy wouldn't be so arrogant. He is already a powerful person, just more low-key."

"Why do we need Brother Lei Zhan to come? His great-grandfather was a Great Sage, and his grandfather is also at the peak of Saint King, just half a step away from achieving the legendary title of a dual Great Sage. Although this newcomer is extraordinary, his cultivation is ultimately insufficient, which is enough for us to test."

"Have you forgotten what the Great Sage taught us? There are always people better than you. Don't underestimate the masters of the world. This person has a dignified appearance and a proud demeanor. He is definitely not someone you can easily deal with. I think we should just be friends. Why bother with a conflict?"

Some people wait and see, some people slander, some people look down on it, some people are serious, and some people make friends. People's hearts are floating, and with interests involved, there are naturally all kinds of reactions.

Wang Hongwu kept his eyes and ears open, and naturally caught those who spoke the most arrogantly and maliciously to him, and he took a step forward and approached them.

He stepped on the incomplete character "行", and when he moved, a strong wind blew. He pinched the dragon seal with both hands and pushed it. A dragon roar resounded through the sky, and nine green dragons appeared, shaking their heads and tails, looking ferocious and fierce, and rolled down like a great wall of steel.

"He attacked directly?" "Nine at once? How brave!"

Some people were surprised, and the creatures facing this move felt only a strong wind blowing in their faces. Nine green dragons were powerful and vigorous, leaping hundreds of feet away. Some stretched out their claws and cracked the cliffs, some opened their bloody mouths and swallowed an entire mountain, and some dragons swung their tails and collapsed the veins of the earth.

After a series of bombardments, nine gossiping creatures from the Dragon's Nest were shaken out of the cave and fell to the ground in a mess. They were limp all over, with their buttocks sticking out and their heads hanging down, and they bowed deeply. Their blood was boiling due to the shock of the Azure Dragon, and they couldn't say a word. They could only look up at the soles of Wang Hongwu's feet with their faces flushed.

They were just high and mighty, giving orders, but in the blink of an eye they were stepped on and forced to pay homage to others. It was a very unpleasant feeling.

Then, Wang Hongwu came to the dragon-born creature who wanted to test him. This guy was in a good position, in the row with the most dragon energy, and had a good background. He was the descendant of the ancestor king of the subordinate royal family and the bloodline of the Dragon Nest. His cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Immortal Realm, and he could be called a talent.

"You want to fight..." Before the young creature named Lei Yan could finish his words, Wang Hongwu took action directly. His big hand tore through the dragon energy, grabbed its shoulder and pulled it out.

Crack! This powerful explosion pulled out the rock layer beneath it. Lei Yan was shocked and angry. Just as he was about to shout, he saw Wang Hongwu's two dragon horns light up. Suddenly, a green light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth. A waterfall formed by the gathering of Yi wood essence fell from the sky, wrapped around his raised palm, and slammed down on Lei Yan's forehead.

The big hand was emerald green with dragon patterns wrapped around it, and it exuded a true fighting spirit. It was ever-changing and powerful. Facing this terrifying power that reached the late stage of the Immortal Realm, Lei Yan roared, his fists shaking, and he fiercely struck the big hand in the sky. He straightened his back and wanted to stand up to take the palm.

Bang! However, the outcome was brutal. He couldn't hold it in. He stumbled, his hands lifted to the sky, and nearly fell. His legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. It was a profound humiliation. Even his joints cracked, as if ready to break. One could only imagine the terrifying impact of the palm strike overhead. In the end, he was half-kneeling on the ground, head bowed. This was deeply humiliating. He was in this position, the overwhelming force weighing on him making it difficult for him to raise his head. He was being suppressed by the opponent.

"Hold back." A powerful person whispered. It was clear that Wang Hongwu had left some space for man to maneuver. Otherwise, this palm strike would have forced Lei Yan to kneel on the ground or even kowtow.

"It's good that he held back. I'm just afraid that he will show his full strength and crush people to death." Other ancestral kings also watched this scene and spoke lightly.

Hearing these words, Lei Yan's heart pounded wildly, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His unwilling anger was suddenly replaced by fear. How could he afford to offend someone who could crush him to his knees with a single slap? Was Brother Lei Zhan's instructions going to kill him?

Just when it was in a state of confusion, Wang Hongwu swept his palm sideways and slapped it away, then stepped into the dragon cave and began his own practice.

"There are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you." Lei Yan, who had fallen to the ground, had a bitter look on his face. He just stared blankly at the figure in the dragon cave. After he began to practice, the sound of Tao rumbled and shook, the world was filled with auspicious colors, and the divine light was like a rainbow, all of which explained the love of heaven and earth.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Qiankang smiled slightly and was about to start a conversation when he suddenly saw three figures coming from behind. The first one was tall and strong, with purple hair down to his waist, huge and rugged dragon horns, and a square and full face. He was none other than the son of the contemporary Great Sage, Emperor Qianlun.

"Lai Zhan, the one who was driven out must be your sworn brother, right? I have long warned you to control the people around you and not to be arrogant. Don't you understand that disaster comes from the mouth?" Qianlun knew the whole cause and effect with just a glance. After giving him a few pointers, he looked at Wang Hongwu in the dragon cave, wanting to take a good look at this immortal seedling.

Lei Zhan stood behind the King of Heaven and the heir to the throne, at least ten feet tall, with short purple hair standing up into the sky. He was wearing a suit of bronze armor, with tiger eyes and thick lips. Upon hearing this, he could only apologize and lower his head, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He didn't like the feeling that it was beyond his control. According to his style of doing things, everything should be under control.

He is the grandson of Emperor Qiankang and the great-grandson of the Great Sage. His status is so high. How can a family member help an outsider?
"You are too narrow-minded and intolerant. If you don't correct this, your future will be worrying." Qianlun was a little displeased. His grandson was indeed ruthless and decisive, but he was too unscrupulous and petty.

Buzz! As they were talking, a strange phenomenon suddenly emerged from Wang Hongwu's place of cultivation. The secret realm of the human body sang the sound of the great Dao, causing many rocks to shimmer and shine as if they had come to life. Flowers and plants swayed and danced, clouds rolled and dispersed, and thousands of birds came to pay homage.

Sweet springs gushed out from the ground, and golden lotuses appeared in the sky. Such divine sounds gave birth to strange phenomena in the heaven and earth, making everyone feel particularly peaceful.

"A strange phenomenon in heaven and earth, he is favored by the heavens, it's incredible." Seeing this, the Qianlun Heavenly King exclaimed softly, and saw His Majesty Wanlong laughing, "He not only has the ancestral energy of the Ten Thousand Dragons in him, but he is also an immortal seedling, and has obtained such a wonderful opportunity as the Extreme Dao Scripture."

As he was speaking, a strange sight appeared in the dragon cave. There were nine huge green dragons flying around, each of which was hundreds of feet long, with eerie scales and armor, crossing the sky.

What’s special is that the back of each green dragon is purple, and the dragon bones are shaped like bells, one section after another, glowing with rosy light, which immediately makes the creatures in the dragon nest present feel that it is very similar to the ancient imperial soldiers.

After seeing this scene, the ancestral kings understood that His Highness and Qiankang were not wrong. The Dao traces left by the ancient emperor were obtained by the bloodline that was lost outside.

"It's actually true?" All the Dragon Cave practitioners, including Lei Yan, were stunned. Their hearts were agitated and they couldn't forget it for a long time.

In the dragon cave, Wang Hongwu was deducing magical powers, combining the new method of the spine dragon with the ancient method of rune formation. It was visible to the naked eye that his spine dragon was reflected, engraved with complicated patterns of heaven-worshiping formations, and the entire dragon bone was winding and changing, forming a towering wall like a sacred mountain.

Looking closely, the city wall stretches for thousands of miles, like a dragon's bones, or like a mighty river, witnessing the rise and fall of heaven and earth.

For a moment, the ancient Great Wall dominated the sky, and the desolate walls were filled with mottled marks. Purple dragon bells were hung on every beacon tower. When the wolf smoke was raised, the next moment, the entire wall shook violently, and the purple bells kept echoing, flying high into the sky, and turning into dragons with long chants.

The Great Wall turned into dragons, with nine dragons in total, all covered in purple and green. The dragon horns clanged, and the dragon eyes absorbed the dark yellow of heaven and earth.

The heaven-sacrificing array pattern formed the dragon scales, the ancestral energy of ten thousand dragons formed the dragon body, and the dragon spine became the skeleton, together constructing this magical fruit - the Great Wall of China and the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon!

"Rise!" Wang Hongwu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he made a seal with his hands and pushed hard. Then he saw nine purple-green dragons flying into the sky and hiding in the ground, and began to violently devour the dragon energy in the surrounding dragon nests.

The purple-green dragon swallowed more and more, and grew bigger and bigger. It continuously absorbed all the external power to strengthen itself. Even the number began to increase, becoming ten, eleven... and even eighteen, almost draining the dragon energy of everyone in the dragon cave!
Moreover, these dragon shadows are indestructible and can absorb dragon energy and divine power to reappear even if they are broken up. Even the increased number will be retained and stored in the dragon in Wang Hongwu's spine. At first, there were only nine of them, but as they were used more and more times, it was normal for 90,000 dragons to tear the sky apart in one move.

This move can transform into a Great Wall to protect the body and absorb incoming attacks; it can also transform into a dragon and fly into the sky, killing the enemy with the imperial dragon energy. It can be said to be an integrated attack and defense.

The Great Wall is as long as the dragon, heroes for generations and dreams for generations!
"Is this a magical power he created?!" Lei Zhan exclaimed in disbelief. Was he mistaken? This level of comprehension was simply too incredible!

"Stop making noise and keep watching, we will witness a miracle!" King Qianlun was even more excited. Isn't this the talent the tribe needs?
God bless the Dragon Nest!
It was visible to the naked eye that as the dragon energy was continuously absorbed, the Ten Thousand Dragon Dao Mark became clearer and stronger, as if it had come alive, reflecting all kinds of broken pictures, which were actually the scenes of the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor casting weapons in the past!

"Hmm? This feeling, is it my father's weapon?" Suddenly, His Highness Wanlong's expression changed, and he looked towards the depths of the dragon's nest, where the aura of the Wanlong Bell could be heard, obviously attracted by the image released by Daohen.

Jingle Bell!
The next moment, the melodious bell sounds coming from the depths of the dragon's nest shattered the sky. The ancient emperor's military tactics were reflected in the sky. Each bell made of divine purple gold was as big as a bell. They were connected together to form a ten-thousand-foot-long purple dragon, flying high and dancing.

Although the Supreme Imperial Might was not actively released, its aftereffects still swept across the land of the Northern Territory. A ten-thousand-foot-tall purple dragon swirled, and the imperial energy in the ancient cave was majestic and boiling. Although the ancient soldiers had not revived, they also missed their past masters and resonated with the Dao marks in the heavenly tribulation.

"What happened? Is the Ancestral Weapon grieving, missing the Ancient Emperor?" "The Imperial Weapon resonates with the Dao Mark? Dongfang Taiyi can actually do this!"

"Oh my god, is he really just a bloodline that's wandering around? Could he be a relative of Your Highness?!"

Everyone was stunned. From the ancestor king to the servants in the Wanlong Nest, no one was not shocked. Even His Highness Wanlong himself was a little dazed, wondering if he had forgotten something.

It’s impossible for my father to have any offspring left outside, right?

"What? What happened in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest? Could it be that a great sage is engaged in a fierce battle, deploying the ultimate ancient imperial weapon?"

When this strange wave of vibration spread, it shocked the entire Eastern Wilderness.

There will be another update in the afternoon, 5:03
