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

The world of Dragon's Lair is a scene from ancient times.

Majestic mountains rise abruptly from the ground, with towering trees and ancient groves reaching for the sky.

The ancient trees stand like giant pillars supporting the sky and earth, their lush foliage forming a vast canopy, layer upon layer, with sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves.

Hordes of monsters and ferocious beasts roam freely, and all sorts of terrifying sounds rise and fall.

Under the dragon's might, even those at the Supreme Realm cannot fly.

Xuan Yuan, Shen Ming, Yuan Yao, and several supreme guards from Kowloon City traveled through the mountains.

Yuan Yao led the way for them, and the map in her hand showed the location of the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone.

The map is old and shows signs of age.

Every hundred miles they traveled, Yuan Yao would double-check.

Shen Ming noticed that the fluctuations emitted by the cyan bead were becoming increasingly intense, confirming that the direction was correct.

"The so-called Dragon's Tomb is the mausoleum chosen by the First Dragon for himself. While the emperors of secular dynasties use mountains as their mausoleums, the First Dragon used a world of his own."

The monsters and dangers were actually tools used by the Ancestral Dragon to deal with intruders.

As he spoke, a loud bird cry rang out from the sky, and everyone in the area below the Supreme Realm covered their ears, their faces contorted in pain.

A gigantic bird, thousands of miles in size, flew across the sky, like a cloud that blotted out the sun.

"Sky-Splittering Bird, a fourth-tier demonic creature, be careful!" Xuan Yuan warned.

The Sky-Splitter did not attack the people on the ground; it was merely patrolling its own celestial domain.

However, the resulting gale raged across the ground, sending dust flying, scattering gravel, and causing towering ancient trees to sway wildly.

Xuan Yuan waved his hand, and an invisible barrier protected everyone in the team from the storm.

Shen Ming, being in the midst of it, clearly felt the destructive power of the storm, and his pupils trembled slightly.

It's not fear, it's longing.

"A fourth-tier demon is equivalent to a Heavenly Sovereign. Without becoming a Sovereign, it's all just empty talk."

At this moment, Shen Ming's desire to break through to the Supreme Realm was stronger than ever before.

"continue."

After the storm passed, the caravan continued onward, but soon stopped again.

"Come out!" Xuan Yuan said bluntly.

A group of cultivators from the Northern Region emerged from the dense forest to the west.

They were all old acquaintances, including Ji Yu, the head of the Ji family, and Ji Xuan, who was under the protection of the Earthly Sovereign.

It turned out that when the Dragon's Lair gate opened, Ji Xuan felt the true dragon bloodline in his body burning hot, knowing that there was a great opportunity inside.

When Ji Yu found out, he stopped searching for the elixir of immortality and focused solely on his son's future.

Although he didn't know what the Dragon's Lair held, he secretly followed behind Yuan Yao, the city lord's daughter, who was leading the way for the Xuan Tian Sect, hoping to steal the opportunity.

"The Ji family, one of the two great families of the Northern Region, is actually acting secretly." Xuan Yuan saw through their intentions and mocked them mercilessly.

“Elder Xuan Yuan, you’ve gone too far. Even the Lord of Nine Dragons City said that everything in Dragon Treasury is a matter of fate,” Ji Yu said.

He noticed that Ji Xuan's expression was unnatural and that he was avoiding eye contact with Shen Ming.

“Xuan’er, because Xuan Tianzi’s Dao heart is unstable, if he fails this time, I’m afraid he will never become a Supreme again.”

Ji Yuxin said.

Having suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Shen Ming, Ji Xuan was already traumatized.

Upon realizing that she would once again be competing with Shen Ming for an opportunity, she was filled with fear and could not accept failure again!

No matter how strong a person's mindset is, they will develop an escapist mentality when faced with repeated failures.

Unyielding spirit is based on having a sufficiently strong trump card.

However, when facing Shen Ming, Ji Xuan found that he couldn't use any of his trump cards.

Seeing his son like this, Ji Yu knew he had two choices.

One option is to turn back and return home, using some small victories to solidify Ji Xuan's resolve.

Or take a gamble and seize the opportunity presented by the Xuan Tianzi!

Ji Yu chose the latter. Although the former was safer, Ji Xuan, as the divine son of the Ji family, could not possibly follow the established procedures.

“Elder Xuan Yuan, the Dragon Cave is fraught with danger, as you have seen. If we remain in this stalemate, we will only benefit others. We should reach our destination first and then make further plans,” Ji Yu said.

"can."

To everyone's surprise, Xuan Yuan readily agreed.

"Oh? May I ask what treasure we possess that warrants such a grand mobilization?" Ji Yu immediately asked.

"Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone!"

Xuan Yuan solemnly said, "This Ancestral Dragon's soul is willing to be refined by someone, and to find a destined person. He has come to our Xuan Tianzi and named him. This has nothing to do with your Ji family's divine son."

"Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone!"

Ji Yu's eyes lit up, and even Ji Xuan was startled.

He should have realized it sooner; only the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone could elicit such a strong reaction from the True Dragon Bloodline.

"Father, this item can transform my true dragon bloodline and make me a dragon supreme!" Ji Xuan transmitted his voice.

Don't be impatient!

Ji Yu gave him a look, then glanced at Xuan Yuan, "I don't seek any opportunities, I just want a taste of the soup. How about we travel together?"

"If I say no, do you think you'll obediently go back? If you want to come, then come," Xuan Yuan said irritably.

Yuan Yao, standing beside her, did not understand the intentions of this Xuan Tian Sect elder.

If one tries to use the Dragon Soul's naming and shaming as a reason to discourage others, it would be rather naive.

The Ji family may already be planning to kill Shen Ming and take his place.

"The elder intends to recruit them to fight against the evil dragon clan," Shen Ming transmitted.

Yuan Tai Realm cultivators cannot directly transmit sound with their divine sense, but they can control their voice through their true qi.

Yuan Yao suddenly realized, thinking to herself that experience is indeed the best teacher.

She could actually figure this out, but not as quickly as Shen Ming.

She remembered what her father had once said: "A wise person can see the essence of a matter at the first moment."

It takes ordinary people a long time to figure things out, and although they eventually do, it becomes a gap between people on the long road of life.

She looked at Shen Ming again, her eyes brimming with affection.

Her impression of Shen Ming was that he was genuine, powerful, and pure.

Today, under the vast sky above the Dragon Ascent Platform, amidst the magnificent landscape, countless young women feel a surge of emotion.

She was no exception; she just felt that in this cruel world, the Xuan Emperor was easily taken advantage of.

Now it dawned on me that the Xuan Emperor possessed great wisdom, but simply disdained to use it for mutual scheming.

The two teams maintained their distance and continued forward.

"arrive!"

Half an hour later, after passing through a hill, a majestic and magnificent mountain suddenly appeared in front of us.

The mountain's outline is quite unique, with its undulating peaks resembling a giant beast lying in wait. The winding ridges resemble the spine of a giant beast, rising high and possessing a breathtaking and powerful beauty.

Xuan Yuan and Ji Yu, the two Heavenly Sovereigns, extended their divine senses to search for the Supreme Dragon Bone on the mountain, but to no avail.

"The entire mountain is like a dragon's skeleton."

Amidst the confusion, Shen Ming was the first to notice something.

Yuan Yao noticed a golden gleam in Xuan Tianzi's eyes.

When I stand in front of myself, I have the illusion that my whole body is being seen through.

Shen Ming activated his Eye of Truth and was able to see the dragon bones emanating an ancient aura beneath the mountain.

Enormous as ever, each one like a towering pillar reaching to the sky, they crisscross and form a vast and stable skeletal system, supporting the weight of the entire mountain.
