Chapter 971: Chapter 971
The Old Dragon King became increasingly agitated as he spoke.
He struggled to hold back his words, but he couldn't suppress his emotions.
His greatest wish was simply to see a True Dragon Bloodline thrive in his lifetime, eventually leading the Dragon Clan and taking over the Dragon King's position.
He never imagined that an even bigger dream, previously unthought-of by his ancestors, was so close at hand.
It was impossible not to be excited.
It wasn't a True Dragon Bloodline, but a True Dragon.
Therefore, now, he felt upset with Yu Ziqing for being too sincere, even feeling embarrassed.
He hoped Yu Ziqing would be more shameless, maybe even run away with the Dragon Women.
The Dragon Women had been protected too well since childhood, overly innocent. Following Yu Ziqing might give them experience and ensure their safety.
He wasn't someone to stick rigidly to the Dragon Clan's rule of not marrying outsiders, was he?
If the Dragon Women wanted to run away, he could only go home and smash a few vases, hit a few sons to vent his anger. What else could he do?
He just resented Yu Ziqing for having too high moral standards, causing inner conflict. Newest update provided by N0velFire.ɴet
On one hand, he trusted Yu Ziqing's character, while on the other hand, he felt the matter of the Dragon Women running away seemed hopeless.
Seeing the Old Dragon King agitated and emotionally unstable, Yu Ziqing quickly comforted him.
"Senior, take care of your health first."
Seeing Yu Ziqing genuinely concerned, the Old Dragon King's conflicting emotions resurfaced.
"Senior, let's continue talking about the Death Dragon Talisman."
The Old Dragon King cast a complex glance at Yu Ziqing and continued.
"Based on the Death Dragon Talisman, there have indeed been several occurrences of True Dragon Bloodline, unknown to the world.
Because they all died young, before adulthood.
Because the Death Dragon Talisman suddenly disappeared, vanishing together with one of the True Dragon Bloodline.
The one who left was already somewhat deranged.
He said it was a curse, the True Dragon's curse, the Death Dragon Talisman seeks life from death, prying open a sliver of life, yet only perpetuates the curse.
Afterward, for many years, no True Dragon Bloodline appeared.
Until Ao Qing appeared..."
The Old Dragon King's face was complex as he paused, then continued.
"Qing'er inherited the Azure Dragon Bloodline, exceptionally intelligent since childhood, steady in character.
I had high hopes for him until he also..."
The Old Dragon King couldn't continue, as everyone knew the general story.
He looked at the Death Dragon Talisman in his hand.
"As for where the Death Dragon Talisman went, I am not clear. Why it became , I don't understand.
It must have undergone many twists and turns before becoming what it is today.
The Death Dragon Talisman no longer possesses the power it once had.
Inside it, there is a special power, seemingly capable of penetrating the Void."
Yu Ziqing immediately smiled slightly and cupped his hands.
"Being too young and shallow-minded, I ask Senior for guidance."
He could sense that it was of little use, as he couldn't identify anything until he encountered the same thing.
Yang was the same, able to judge the usefulness of the power within the Dragon Talisman but unsure of what it specifically was.
According to Yu Ziqing's plan, after meeting the Old Dragon King, he would meet the Dragon Tiger Daoist.
The Dragon Tiger Daoist often stayed in the Void, might have knowledge.
However, meeting the Old Dragon King was more dependable.
After all, with the Dragon Clan's deep-rooted Divine Soul obsession, a patchwork monster couldn't possibly be related to the Dragon Clan, assuredly not to the Old Dragon King.
"I only lived a bit longer; if you had seen it, you would have known long ago.
In the Dali Divine Dynasty of the human race, there is a Dharma Method called Shadow Great Escape, cultivating it to the highest Realm.
One can hide in the Void, moving invisibly.
Thousands of years ago, I saw a Chief Venerate of the Shadow Department, who cultivated this Dharma Method to the highest Realm.
The power within the Death Dragon Talisman seems similar to his power during Shadow Great Escape."
Yu Ziqing secretly admired; living long indeed broadens one's scope.
The Old Dragon King didn't know the Death Dragon Talisman was used to summon patchwork monsters.
But according to the Old Dragon King's explanation, this Method could indeed summon the patchwork monster in the Void.
After completion, it could reopen a channel, sending the patchwork monster back to the Void.
Through the whole process, it wouldn't appear in the current world.
The patchwork monster wouldn't attract Heavenly Tribulation.
Yu Ziqing was puzzled about another matter.
Since the Daqian Crown Prince previously dared not use patchwork monsters, he naturally knew their appearance in the current world would cause a huge commotion.
How did he confirm the patchwork monster's appearance in the Abyss wouldn't provoke Heavenly Tribulation?
Otherwise, the patchwork monster's appearance would attract a powerful Heavenly Tribulation.
Under the Heavenly Tribulation, they would be destroyed, which would mean what? Dragging the enemy to perish together?
It seemed Yang also knew about this; everyone knew it, but no one knew why.
They all knew it worked but didn't know why.
No one chased the reason.
But, is the Death Dragon Talisman related to the Shadow Department?
After achieving the highest Realm in Shadow Great Escape, could one use its power for Artifact Refining?
Yu Ziqing's thoughts spun quickly, just as he saw that the Old Dragon King hadn't finished speaking.
"Besides that, it's also very like Kun You of Daqian.
Not only similar, but actually more akin to the power of Kun You."
"Kun You?!" Yu Ziqing was greatly surprised, having never considered this.
Yang, when making previous assumptions, had never mentioned Kun You.
Yang talked about what Dharma Method could summon the patchwork monster using the Death Dragon Talisman, focusing on Dharma Methods.
