I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

"There's more to the show?"

The group, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks upon seeing this scene.

"Everyone, this door leads to the Dragon's Lair, the burial place of the Ancestral Dragon, and inside is a small world."

When a whale falls, all things come to life. Although the Ancestral Dragon perished, it has nurtured countless demons and monsters over the years. Originally isolated from the outside world, it had no worries about the future.

Unfortunately, the landscape has undergone dramatic changes, all things have revived, the dragon veins have returned to their place, and the Dragon's Lair has become extremely unstable, threatening to break open at any moment. Since you are all here today, please enter and vanquish the evil spirits.”

The Kowloon City Lord's voice resounded throughout the hall, explaining the whole story.

The Lord of Kowloon City is dreaming; he wants everyone to be forced into hard labor.

Even if the monsters escaped, they would only harm Kowloon City. The leaders of various forces began to think of excuses to shirk responsibility.

“The Dragon Treasury is nourished by the blood and flesh of the Ancestral Dragon and contains countless exotic herbs and spiritual medicines, including sacred medicines and even elixirs of immortality. Those who wish to enter the Dragon Treasury should consider it a contest for opportunity,” said the Lord of Nine Dragons City.

An elixir of immortality?!

Rare and exotic herbs, if classified according to their medicinal grade, are called spiritual medicine, precious medicine, holy medicine, elixir of immortality, semi-immortal medicine, and immortal medicine!

The Star Moon Spirit Water that Shen Ming obtained earlier is a precious medicine, a cultivation resource that even Earthly Sovereigns covet.

The elixir of immortality is a treasure coveted even by those in the Sovereign Realm.

"Lord of Kowloon City, as cultivators from the Northern Region, it is our duty to go through fire and water without hesitation!"

People who had originally planned to leave changed their attitude completely, becoming very sincere.

"The Northern Regions are united in their hatred of the enemy, so leave that to us."

One by one, the high-ranking members of the Northern Region forces stood up, winking and making faces, trying to persuade the Lord of Nine Dragons City to exclude cultivators from the outer regions.

However, intelligent people know that's impossible.

"The blood and flesh of the Ancestral Dragon can indeed nourish the elixir of immortality, such as Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit, Dragon Bone Divine Herb, and Dragon Heart Immortal Flower."

Especially after Sikong Feng of the Holy Spirit Academy said this, the cultivators from various regions who had only come to watch the excitement today could no longer sit still.

"To speak out against injustice is the true meaning of our spiritual practice."

"How can we sit idly by and stand by and do nothing!"

Each of them was righteous and awe-inspiring, with a firm attitude. Regardless of whether the Lord of Kowloon City allowed them to enter or not, they were determined to go in.

“Very well, please make yourselves at home.” The Lord of Kowloon City had anticipated this.

At this moment, the nine-headed dragon fell back into the lake, and the Dragon Treasury Gate stood quietly on the Dragon Ascension Platform.

First, two or three people cautiously probed, then one after another rushed forward, fearing to fall behind.

Shen Ming noticed that the blue beads on his body were restless, as if something in the Dragon's Lair was calling to him.

"Shen Ming, don't be impulsive. This is a battle for opportunity involving the supreme beings of heaven and earth. You won't be of much use if you go in."

Xuan Yuan appeared in front of him, his face serious.

Although some Yuantai Realm cultivators went in to try their luck, Shen Ming didn't need to take that risk.

"You are the center of attention, the number one person below the Supreme Realm. After you return, I will make you the Xuan Tian Divine Son, and you will have no shortage of rare and precious materials. The incident at the Taiyi Treasure Vault must not happen again," Xuan Yuan said.

Shen Ming naturally wanted to go in, not for any other reason than to join in the fun and kill a few demons to satisfy his craving.

The move I just made was merely a brief moment of enjoyment.

However, the elder's words were not without reason.

"Your Majesty, may we speak privately?"

At this moment, Yuan Yao arrived.

"of course can."

Shen Ming and Yuan Yao walked down from the Dragon Ascension Platform and faced each other on the lake.

Yuan Yao was very cautious. She made a hand seal, and the lake water surged, enveloping the two of them.

"It's quite mysterious."

Xuan Yuan originally wanted to hear what the two were saying, but hesitated whether to extend his divine sense.

"Elder Xuan Yuan, may I speak with you in private?"

Unexpectedly, the Lord of Kowloon City came to him and set up a water-attribute restriction that isolated the inside from the outside.

Xuan Yuan frowned, knowing that things were not simple.

"Elder Xuanyuan, the Dragon King Palace contains the remains of the Ancestral Dragon. Although a wisp of the Ancestral Dragon's soul sleeps in the Dragon King Palace, it occasionally transmits information through a bloodline connection..."

"Wait a minute!"

Xuan Yuan interrupted him warily. What was inside the Dragon King Palace had always been the biggest secret of Nine Dragons City, and now this city lord was telling him so bluntly.

"No matter what secrets you speak of, if your request is excessive, I will still refuse," Xuan Yuan emphasized.

"nature."

The Lord of Kowloon City nodded and said, "A few days ago, the Ancestral Dragon briefly awoke and told us that a great era and great chaos would arrive at the same time. A lineage of evil dragons would try to seize the Supreme Dragon Bone. He asked me to find a destined person to refine it so as not to help evildoers. The trouble is that the Ancestral Dragon is unwilling to let ordinary people refine it. He doesn't even want us to do it. Not long ago, I invited your sect leader to enter the Dragon King Palace for the same reason."

"Even our sect leader doesn't think much of it?" Xuan Yuan was greatly surprised; this Ancestral Dragon was truly arrogant.

"Yes, later there was really no other way, and it just so happened that the Hidden Dragon Competition was about to begin. The Ancestral Dragon's dragon soul burned its last bit of power, forming the auspicious phenomenon of a dragon and a phoenix."

"The one with the most dragons and phoenixes is to go directly to the Dragon's Lair to see the dragon bones," said the Lord of Nine Dragons City.

Xuan Yuan looked at Shen Ming on the lake surface and remained silent in thought.

"Xuan Tianzi is not only a master of the Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenixes, but also cultivates the Dragon Clan's spiritual techniques. He is currently at the sixth level of the Yuantai Realm, and he is only missing the last Golden Platform. With the Supreme Dragon Bone as the source material for the Golden Platform, and by controlling the Wind and Thunder Golden Platforms, he will become a Supreme and will be invincible," said the Lord of Nine Dragons City.

"Then why did you make such a big fuss? Wouldn't it have been easier to just sneak us in?" Xuan Yuan asked, puzzled.

"What I just said was not a lie. The elixir of immortality is real, the demons are real, the Dragon Treasury is about to go out of control, and the evil dragon clan will also infiltrate it," the Nine Dragons City Lord said with a wry smile.

"So we will encounter the evil dragon clan inside. He is only at the Yuantai realm and is willing to die, so he wants me to protect him."

Xuan Yuan said, "I am just the elder who led the team this time. He did not become my disciple, nor is he even on my Tongtian Peak, nor did he become the Xuantian Divine Child."

The Lord of Kowloon City gave a wry smile; this was one of the drawbacks of sects.

Today, Xuan Yuan is responsible not only for Shen Ming, but also for Xuan Tian Sect disciples such as Nalan Li and Luo Cheng.

"However, this lad's performance today truly pleased me. He is destined to be the future Divine Child of Xuantian. What's wrong with protecting him!"

Xuan Yuan changed the subject, stood proudly, and asked, "How high is the realm of the strongest member of the Evil Dragon Clan?"

"Domination Realm."

"..." Xuan Yuan regretted speaking too soon.

"Those at the Sovereign Realm cannot enter the Dragon's Lair; I will fight them from outside," the Lord of Nine Dragons City continued.

"..." Xuan Yuan suspected that this guy was deliberately teasing him.

The Lord of Kowloon City looked innocent. "You asked what the strongest person's realm was, but you didn't ask for specific details."

"Boy, don't hesitate, come with me to compete for your Supreme Realm opportunity!" Xuan Yuan made up his mind and shouted directly to those below.

Shen Ming learned about the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone from Yuan Yao, and naturally wanted to use it to break through to the Supreme Realm.

However, if the elders do not protect him, going in to face the supreme powerhouse of the Evil Dragon Clan would undoubtedly be suicide.

"Thank you very much, Elder!" Shen Ming said gratefully.

"You shine brightly today, quite like I was in my prime. Let me show you my splendor!"
