“The biggest secret…”
Hearing this, Lin Ye was interested.
His main purpose before coming here was to find ancestral-level alchemy materials to refine Long Yao’s corpse.
However, facing the secrets of the Dragon Race, he was still very willing to know more.
“Let’s go. I won’t disappoint you.” Nightshade sighed softly and led the way to the dark cave.
Lin Ye did not say anything. He secretly activated his Hint, Transcending Eye, and Heart Web talents. His safety factor was instantly maxed out. Then, he followed Nightshade’s footsteps and walked in.
Whoosh—
The walls of the cave were embedded with a large number of luminous pearls, illuminating the surroundings.
Through the light, Lin Ye could clearly see that the rock walls were filled with battle murals.
There were maguses who were as tall as the sky, demon birds that could cover the sky with their wings, human powerhouses who were covered in golden suns, elemental lifeforms who were bathed in flames, ancient gods with divine light, and the dark lifeforms who devoured everything…
Without exception, the opponents of the various races were all giant dragons with handsome faces.
“Hmm?!” Lin Ye’s gaze swept across these murals.
It was as if his sea of consciousness had encountered a memory infusion technique. He instantly browsed through the battle scenes in the murals.
For a moment, he was shocked.
His current realm was half a step into the Thearch-grade Realm, and his combat strength was comparable to the late-stage of the Thearch-grade Realm.
It was far beyond the limit of what the current stage of the season could accommodate.
But even so, facing the battle scene of the Ancestral Dragon countless seasons ago, he had no resistance at all. Even his [Hint] talent and Transcending Eye did not react.
At the same time, the earth-shattering battle scene stunned him.
The powerhouses who fought against the Ancestral Dragon were exceptionally strong.
With a wave of his hand, the remaining power emitted could easily kill him.
It was a very terrifying expert. Even in the Zombie God Realm, the grotto-heaven world in the Black Heaven Mystic Mirror, he had never felt such a huge difference even when facing the sealed Ancestral-grade Sky Swallowing Beast.
“Could it be that there is a higher level above the Ancestral-grade Realm?” Lin Ye’s heart churned as countless possibilities flew through his mind.
Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more he was sure of it. For example, the Four Sacred Halls, Ancestral Dragon, Di Jiang, the Dark Lifeforms, and other mysterious and unknown fellows all had extraordinary methods. They were definitely not something ordinary Ancestral-grade Realm cultivators could compare to.
Thinking of this, he frowned slightly. The sense of danger did not increase at all because of his cultivation advancement. Instead, it became even more serious.
“Ow!”
All of a sudden, a deep dragon roar resounded from the depths of the cave. The sound was so loud that it made one’s eardrums ache.
“That’s the dragon language of the Ancestral Dragon!”
Tears fell from Nightshade’s eyes involuntarily. The reverence on her face became more obvious. It was as if she had experienced the murals passageway. Her feelings were even deeper than Lin Ye’s.
“What did it say?” Lin Ye was curious.
“Dedication, selflessness, bravery, strength, perseverance, inheritance… and changing the fate of a race.” Nightshade’s expression was solemn.
“Fate…” Lin Ye muttered before nodding slightly.
Life was a mysterious thing. As his cultivation level increased, his understanding would also be completely different.
In the past, he felt that his fate was up to him and not the heavens. What bullsh*t fate? He felt that accepting one’s fate was all useless words.
But now, it didn’t seem to be that important anymore.
Fate is a multidimensional vein.
Every decision has the potential to bring unknown changes to the future.
As for what the Ancestral Dragon and the others had done, he could roughly understand a little.
Solidifying the foundation of the Dragon Race, regardless of the change in fate, as long as one held on to the fundamentals, this was the principle of eternal prosperity.
“The greatest secret of the Dragon Race should be there.”
With this thought in mind, his gaze followed Nightshade’s guidance to a blood pool deep in the rock wall.
The pool water was golden in color, resembling either ambrosia or amber. Under the refraction of the light, there was a faint eight-colored glow.
“An eight-colored treasure!”
“Moreover, it’s infinitely close to the God-level!”
Lin Ye’s pupils constricted as he was incomparably shocked.
Currently, he had never seen a treasure close to the God-level anywhere else, not even in the Zombie Divine Hall.
But the Dragon Sect’s treasury actually had one.
With such a foundation, it was no wonder that the dragons had not been defeated after countless seasons. This was probably the greatest secret of the Dragon Race.
“Holy Blood!”
“It’s also the legacy treasure formed from Lord Ancestral Dragon’s blood essence and condensed by countless descendants of Lord Dragon Emperor at the cost of a large amount of lifespan!”
Nightshade explained as she knelt down to the futon in front of the blood pool and kowtowed.
She kowtowed 99 times in a row. With a crisp hum, a golden treasured mirror flew out of the blood pool.
The treasured mirror’s aura was shocking. Its surroundings emitted a soul-stirring divine light of red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, and black.
The Demigod-level Transcending Eye swept over it, and it was as if he had seen a wordless book. He could not see any content at all.
“Interesting.” Lin Ye narrowed his eyes.
Although he could not see its contents, he could still see the words on the surface with his naked eye. On it were the words “Ancestral Dragon Art”.
Ancestral Dragon Art…
He whispers.
If he remembered correctly, the last time he barged into the Dragon Cave World, he had once obtained the secret of the dragon race for the Golden Dragon of Luck through Nightshade—the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon!
Initially, he thought that it was the strongest cultivation technique of the Dragon Race. However, from the looks of it, he had probably underestimated their foundation.
The level of the Ancestral Dragon Art was almost the same as the Blood Pool. It must have come from the Ancestral Dragon.
In terms of level, it had already reached the limit of the Reincarnation-level secret manual.
It could be considered the strongest secret manual he had seen in the current world. Even the Human Sovereign’s Sacred Body and the Dijiang Ancestral Sorcerer Body that he cultivated were slightly inferior.
He did not dare to imagine how terrifying an existence would be after the hundredfold reward.
“Nightshade…”
“Huh? What kind of look is that!”
Looking at Lin Ye’s eager eyes, Nightshade hurriedly hugged the Ancestral Dragon Art tightly and continued, “This is the supreme ancient book of our race. Only the Dragon Emperor can cultivate it. Don’t have any ideas about this. You’re not a dragon. It’s useless even if I give it to you.”
“On the other hand, the holy blood in the blood pool contains power that surpasses reincarnation. If you can absorb some, you might be able to break through the barrier of the realm and completely step into the Thearch-grade Realm.”
“Of course, if you’re willing to join the Dragon Race, I guarantee that not only will you master the Ancestral Dragon Technique, but you’ll also become the current Dragon Emperor and unify the Dragon Race…”
“You can even directly step into the limit of the Thearch-grade Realm and become an unprecedented invincible expert in the new season!”
“Join the Dragon Race? The limit of the Thearch-grade Realm?” Lin Ye raised his eyebrows.
He was only half a step into the Thearch-grade realm now. Nightshade knew this very well, but he was still so confident that he could quickly reach the limit of the Thearch-grade realm. This was not a small difficulty.
Even if he had 100xReward, it was still too exaggerated.
“Don’t worry, I can swear on my natal dragon soul that I won’t lie to you. As long as you’re willing, I can immediately fulfill it!” Nightshade held the Ancestral Dragon Art in one hand and looked at Lin Ye sincerely.
