Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 189 The Old Clan Chief's Arrangements
Lan Tian had been following the clan leader closely, and what he saw and heard left him with some questions. This white-haired old man was different from others; his cultivation level should be above that of the Dragon Roar City Lord, having long surpassed the Venerable Emperor realm and broken out of the top ten Venerable Emperors, making him one of the top experts in the Desolate Region.

Little did Lan Tian know why he had taken a liking to him and insisted on taking him as his personal disciple. Did he really intend to pass on all his life's skills to him? Could humans and dragons exchange what they had? Could humans also cultivate the dragon race's unique skills? These questions indeed made Lan Tian doubt his original intentions.

"Old clan leader, please reconsider! What will we old folks do without you?"

The elders still wanted to persuade the old patriarch to stay, after all, they had followed him for so many years, and the rise of the Dragon Clan was inseparable from his contributions and protection. Now, Long Xiao wasn't necessarily capable of standing alone. In the desolate region, no one dared challenge the Dragon Clan's authority except the old patriarch; he was the pillar of the entire clan. If the old patriarch were to leave, who knew what would become of the Dragon Clan? Could Long Xiao shoulder this heavy responsibility?
"Stop talking! My mind is made up. From now on, I'll have to rely on you old folks to take good care of Xiao Xiaozi and serve him wholeheartedly."

"Oh, right! From now on, you're not allowed to disturb Lan Yi and me during our cultivation. If you need anything, I'll have Lan Yi contact you directly, and you must do your best to meet your needs. Xiao Xiao, you also need to speed up your cultivation and not fall behind!"

Long Xiao said, "Yes, Grandpa. I will remember your teachings and will definitely work harder to improve my cultivation level."

"Elder Chief, please reconsider! Cultivation and seclusion won't affect your leadership of the Dragon Clan!"

The elders still tried their best to persuade the old patriarch to stay and continue to lead the dragon clan. But it was no use. The old patriarch took Lan and left without looking back, forbidding anyone to follow. He went straight to the backyard and disappeared.

Long Xiao and the others stood in the hall, not knowing what to do. He himself had not expected his grandfather to make such an arrangement. He had no idea at all. He was shocked when he heard his grandfather say this. The arrangement was not like this. What he and his grandfather wanted was to cultivate Lan Yi, not for him to step down and for him to take up the banner of the Dragon Clan.

This arrangement caught everyone off guard and left them completely baffled. The old patriarch had been in seclusion cultivating, and he had always held the position of patriarch of the Dragon Clan. This was why the Dragon Clan had been able to develop smoothly and remain a dominant force in the desolate region.

……

The old patriarch led Lan Tian to the fifth palace behind the main city. This palace was very different from the previous ones. It was no longer open to the public and was heavily guarded. It was the core of the dragon clan and their treasure vault!

In fact, this temple is a secret training ground for the dragon race, containing their own training chambers.

Upon entering, the first thing that catches the eye is an independent, enclosed energy cultivation room. It is filled with rich life force and abundant energy fluctuations. Various elemental energies are sealed within the surrounding light pillars. The light pillars of various colors are neatly arranged around the perimeter. In the center is a circular energy staircase, and in the very center of the staircase is a huge energy light pillar, several times larger than the one in the main city.

"Come on! Let's sense it."

The old patriarch led Lan Tian up the steps to the central pillar of light. At this moment, Lan Tian clearly felt a restlessness in his blood, and he felt unwell, as if something terrible was about to happen. He was losing control of his body and was about to step into the pillar of light against his will.

"Lan Yi, relax your whole body, walk into the pillar of light, sit cross-legged, do nothing, do not resist, let it investigate. No matter what happens, do not get up, you must follow my instructions, otherwise there will be irreversible consequences, and even I will not be able to save you then. Remember, remember!"

The old clan chief said to Lan Tian, ​​"Yes, Master!"

At this moment, Lan Tian had no other thoughts. Since things had already come to this, he could only acknowledge the old clan chief as his master. At least his master wouldn't harm his own disciple! He handed everything over to the old clan chief.

Lan Tian stepped into the pillar of light, his blood and veins surging, becoming unusually restless. He dared not move, trying to calm himself. He slowly sat cross-legged, sensing the changes around him and within his own body.

"Rumble"

A powerful beam of light descended from above, piercing directly through Lan Tian's entire body. Slowly, Lan Tian's body began to change. The immense energy pressure made it difficult for him to breathe. The white beam of light grew stronger and stronger, penetrating every pore and every drop of his blood, as if it wanted to completely dismember and pulverize him. Every pore in his body experienced fluctuations in his blood vessels.

Suddenly, a golden beam of energy rose from the blue sky, bursting forth and pushing back the white beam of light falling from above, which then disappeared into the white light. The entire space was instantly filled with golden light, engulfing everything.

After an unknown amount of time, Lan Tian slowly came to his senses. The old clan chief stood quietly beside him, watching over him.

"Master, what's wrong with me?" Lan Tian asked the old clan chief. He didn't know what had happened; he had simply fallen unconscious.

"You overexerted your energy and fainted. Alright! You're fine now. Just need to regulate your breathing. I've already treated you! Just rest a bit!" the old patriarch said.

This beam of light was originally used to test the power and bloodline of each person who came. Being able to turn the white light into a golden beam of light meant that one possessed a divine bloodline, the bloodline of an ancient war god! Being able to turn the white light into gold and unleash it throughout the entire area—this was exactly what the old patriarch had been searching for!
Lan Tian's performance completely shocked the old clan chief. His original aspiration and mission was to find such a person, and his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled.

The Blue Sky is a human, and the cultivation skills of the Dragon race cannot be used by humans. This requires bloodline inheritance and fusion, a method mastered by the Dragon race. It requires the essence of the Dragon race for bloodline inheritance and fusion, but this is extremely difficult for the Dragon race. They will not perform such an operation unless absolutely necessary, as the damage to themselves is irreversible.

Moreover, this operation is risky, has a low success rate, and places strict requirements on both parties.

The old patriarch knew that bloodline inheritance and fusion were necessary; only in this way could he accept the dragon race's cultivation skills and integrate into the dragon race in the future.

However, in order to succeed, the old patriarch had already made arrangements, handing over the position of patriarch to Long Xiao in advance, so that he could devote himself to the bloodline inheritance and completely solve Lan Yi's cultivation problem.
