Chapter 2052: Chapter 532: The Inheritance Begins, Plots Revealed (Second Update)

This is the Dragon Force Inheritance Site of the Ancestor of Dragon Clan. It is said that to be recognized by the Dragon Force, one must pass three trials. The first trial is Bodily Refinement, the second is a test of character, and the third is Talented Bone.

Once, several Heads of the Dragon Clan passed the first trial but failed in the second due to temptation. Some were lured by money, others by beauty. Yet, some lost their eligibility due to inner demons that led them astray. Of course, a few with strong willpower passed the second trial, only to fail the third due to insufficient natural aptitude, resulting in their demise.

Therefore, it is said that to succeed, both luck and character are essential.

When An Yiqing and Long Zixuan arrived at the inheritance site, many members of the Dragon Clan and senior officials of the Sky Punishment Pavilion had already gathered in front of the cave. At someone’s shout of "The Clan Leader is here," everyone turned their heads, looking at Long Zixuan with anticipation.

Taking this opportunity, An Yiqing scanned the crowd and frowned.

"Where is Xuan Mo?" she asked Hongye beside her.

Hongye was taken aback, then scanned the area, frowning as well. Members of the Sky Punishment Pavilion were gathered together, senior officials were present, yet Xuan Mo was absent.

On such an important day, it was strange for the Pavilion Master of the Sky Punishment Pavilion not to show up.

"I’ll go ask," Hongye said and walked towards the group from the Sky Punishment Pavilion.

It didn’t take long for Hongye to return with information.

"The elders from the Sky Punishment Pavilion said Xuan Mo would be here soon, but didn’t say anything else. It’s all quite mysterious, not sure what they are up to."

An Yiqing frowned and was about to speak when she noticed members of the Sky Punishment Pavilion walking towards them. Following their gaze, An Yiqing turned her head to see Xuan Mo in a dark robe, walking slowly in their direction.

He walked up to An Yiqing, glanced at her, nodded lightly, and without saying a word, moved past her. The members of the Sky Punishment Pavilion had long prepared chairs and tables. Xuan Mo walked to a chair, sat down steadily, and whispered a few words into the ear of someone next to him.

"The Pavilion Master said we can begin," that person announced to the crowd in a deep voice.

The Old Clan Chief nodded, taking the last chance to give some words to Long Zixuan.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Long Zixuan and An Yiqing walked into the cave.

Originally, as someone from outside the clan, An Yiqing was not permitted to enter the inheritance site. However, Long Zixuan used his authority as the Head Chief of the Dragon Clan, and since An Yiqing had indeed broken the seal on his body, there was no reason left for anyone to object.

In the end, with everyone’s acquiescence, An Yiqing was granted permission to enter the inheritance site.

"Lingling, stay close to Elder Jin and Hongye, and do not leave," An Yiqing advised Yin Xilin, "If something happens, don’t panic. Someone will come to save you." With those words, she gave Yin Xilin a glance, subtly looking far away as she lifted her head.

There, the Thirteen Blood Generals had long been secretly positioned all around. Should there be any change, they would immediately rescue Yin Xilin and the Old Clan Chief.

An Yiqing followed Long Zixuan, disappearing into the cave. Nobody noticed that the moment she entered the cave, she glanced at Xuan Mo from the corner of her eye. Sitting in the chair, Xuan Mo was fixedly watching An Yiqing’s back, lost in thought.

Inside the cave, it was pitch black, visibility was nil. Luckily, both Long Zixuan and An Yiqing could see at night, so it didn’t affect them.

After walking about five hundred meters deeper into the cave, a beam of light penetrated through a slit. It was a stone door, and the inheritance site lay beyond it.

In front of the stone door, An Yiqing and Long Zixuan looked up at its top. On the vast stone surface was a small groove. The groove was square-shaped, with intricate carvings within.

This was the key to unlocking the stone door, and the key was the Dragon Command of the clan.

Long Zixuan took out the prepared Dragon Command from his coat pocket. The Dragon Command was rectangular, about half a palm in size, with an obsidian color. On its front, the two large characters "Dragon Command" were engraved, surrounded by carvings of two giant dragons. The back of the Dragon Command was adorned with complex totems and characters, dizzying to look at.

Long Zixuan aligned the side with totems against the groove on the stone door, pressing forcefully. A faint "click" was heard, and the stone door split in two, slowly moving aside.

The Dragon Command naturally slipped out of the groove, returning to Long Zixuan’s hand.

The stone door was fully opened, and dazzling white light burst out, blinding An Yiqing and Long Zixuan. They squinted and shielded their eyes with their hands, peering inside.

Inside the stone door was a hall the size of a football field. The walls of the hall were adorned with carvings of giant dragons soaring through the clouds. Each dragon was vividly lifelike, seemingly on the verge of leaping off the walls.

The floor of the hall was paved with black stone tiles, somewhat resembling marble, yet also like plain cement. But its hardness was unquestionable, as stepping on it made no sound, indicating it was no ordinary material.

Looking up, the ceiling of the hall was embedded with numerous large Luminous Pearls, from which the earlier burst of bright light emanated. As the light faded, the Luminous Pearls began to emit a gentle, radiant glow, casting ethereal beams of light upon the floor.

However, all this grandeur failed to capture An Yiqing and Long Zixuan’s attention. Their gaze was fixated on the center of the hall, unable to recover for a long time.

At the center of the hall stood a high Dragon Altar. Called a Dragon Altar because its shape resembled a coiled giant dragon. The dragon’s majesty touched the ground, forming a solid connection with the floor. The dragon god coiled upward from the ground, with its head suspended in the hall’s air. Beside the dragon head was a golden circular platform. From the entrance, it appeared like a coiling dragon in flight, carrying a large round platform in the air, truly a breathtaking sight.

Even in modern times, such a design is astonishing. An Yiqing had seen dragons carved and painted on walls, but never such a bold concept. Using the dragon’s tail as the foundation to support the entire Dragon Altar, it was unimaginable how much wisdom, manpower, and resources it required.

"This should be the final location for the inheritance. Zixuan, go on up. I’ll guard the trial from below."

Long Zixuan nodded firmly, "Sister An, I’m counting on you. Await my good news."

Saying this, a gleam of light flashed, and Long Zixuan transformed into a Purple Dragon, leaping into the air to the Dragon Altar above.

He once again returned to human form, sitting cross-legged on the Dragon Altar, closing his eyes, steadfastly guarding his spiritual sense.

At that moment, the Dragon Altar seemed to sense someone was receiving the inheritance, and the massive dragon head began to emit white mist, enveloping Long Zixuan within. Then, a tremendous dragon pressure gushed from the dragon head, unrelentingly assailing Long Zixuan.

An Yiqing found a spot where she could look up at the Dragon Altar and sat cross-legged. Now, she could not see anything in the white mist, not even the corner of Long Zixuan’s clothing. Sensing the formidable dragon pressure released from the dragon head, the Dragon Qi within her suddenly surged eagerly.

An Yiqing rejoiced internally, immediately closing her eyes, reciting the cultivation technique of the Dragon-Taming Art, and calming her mind to cultivate.

Of course, while cultivating, she released a trace of Spiritual Sense towards Long Zixuan. Should Long Zixuan encounter danger, An Yiqing would respond instantly.

Thus, one person in the air, the other on the ground, began their long ordeal and cultivation.

Meanwhile, those guarding outside the cave weren’t idle either. The elders of the Dragon Clan formed a circle and sat cross-legged on the ground. They were practicing the Dragon Clan’s secret method to stay informed about Long Zixuan’s progress in receiving the inheritance.

As the sun set and the round moon hung high, Elder Jin, who’d been chanting with closed eyes, suddenly opened them.

"The Clan Leader has already passed the first trial."

Everyone was amazed, to have broken through the first trial in just one day was unprecedented!
