Chapter 1650 Divine Dragon Sanctuary
Chapter 1650 Divine Dragon Sanctuary
"Honestly, I don't really understand." Feng Liqiu shook her head, and she continued, "Most would be delighted, even honored, if I requested for their Chaotic Essence to conceive my child. Excluding dragons, I cannot imagine anyone refusing."
Feng Liqiu's status as the daughter of the Primordial Phoenix alone granted her immense prestige in the Primal Expanse. Her lineage was revered, making her among the most respected in the realm, with many viewing her as nearly untouchable.
Moreover, she was a powerhouse in her own right, standing as one of the strongest Predators in the Primal Expanse. In the entire Eternal Phoenix Domain, her strength was second only to her mother, the Primordial Phoenix. Countless powerful beings had willingly offered their Chaotic Essence to Feng Liqiu over the years without her even needing to ask them, but not a single one of them managed to receive her approval.
Just as human men court women out of love, in the Primal Expanse, beings offer their Chaotic Essence to those they admire to express their desire for a deeper bond and in hopes of conceiving a child with them.
"If I'm going to conceive a child with someone, I'd at least want to get to know them first," Yuan said.
"Is that a human thing?" Feng Liqiu asked.
"I guess."
Hearing this, she no longer continued the topic, but she didn't appear to have given up yet.
"Can you bring me to the Divine Dragon Sanctuary?" Yuan looked at the Primal Monarch.
"Do you have a plan to acquire the treasure from them yet?" The Primordial Phoenix suddenly asked.
He shook his head, "No, I don't. I'll figure it out as things progress."
The Primal Monarch didn't ask any questions and created a rift that directly led to the Divine Dragon Sanctuary for him.
"The rift will bring you to a place two days away from the Divine Dragon Sanctuary."
"Okay." Yuan looked at Yingzi and asked, "Want to come along?"
She immediately nodded. With the Primordial Phoenix and the Primal Monarch's presence there, the atmosphere was a little too suffocating for someone like her.
"Then I'll see you again once I acquire the treasure." Yuan entered the rift the next moment, followed by Yingzi.
The Primal Monarch left shortly after Yuan left, disappearing into thin air.
"Sister, were you serious just now?" Feng Yao looked at Feng Liqiu and asked.
"Of course."
"But why…?"
"I am curious," she said with a smile. "What kind of child would be born from a phoenix and a human like him? I want to find out."
"What do you think, Mother?" Feng Liqiu looked at the Primordial Phoenix to get her opinion on the matter.
"I think that's a ridiculous reason to conceive your first child with a human." The Primordial Phoenix shook her head, but she didn't reject the idea for some reason.
Feng Liqiu noticed this and chuckled, "So you're also curious, huh? Now I wonder what would happen if a Primordial Phoenix like Mother conceived with a human."
Hearing this, the Primordial Phoenix smacked Feng Liqiu in the back of the head and sneered, "Don't get ahead of yourself."
After emerging from the rift, Yingzi guided Yuan toward the Divine Dragon Sanctuary. Even before they began their journey, Yuan's eyes were drawn to a towering, pillar-like structure in the distance. The massive tower seemed to stretch endlessly into the heavens, dominating the horizon with its grandeur and presence.
"That must be the Dragon Ascending Mountain. I wanted to visit this place before, but it was too far away." Yuan recalled his experience as Tian Yi.
Starting from the Eternal Phoenix Domain, the Divine Dragon Sanctuary was located on the far opposite side of the Primal Expanse. Without special treasures, the journey would take an unfathomable amount of time. Even with such treasures, it would have taken Tian Yi over a hundred years to reach the Divine Dragon Sanctuary on his own, which was why he had chosen to ignore it in the past.
"Do you know anything about the Divine Dragon Sanctuary?" Yuan asked Yingzi as they traveled.
"I have never been to this part of the Primal Expanse, but the Divine Dragon Sanctuary is one of the most famous territories in this world."
"Although it has 'Dragon' in its name and many dragons gather there, other races are also allowed to stay in the Divine Dragon Sanctuary," Yingzi continued. "It's quite populated and diverse, unlike the Eternal Phoenix Domain, which is more exclusive."
"Is that so…"
Over the next two days, Yuan pondered how he should go about acquiring the Sacred Chalice of Purification. Unfortunately, with so little information on the Divine Dragon Sanctuary, formulating any reliable plans was pretty much impossible.
In the end, Yuan decided to join the Divine Dragon Sanctuary to learn more about them first before planinng anything.
Two days later, Yuan and Yingzi arrived at the Divine Dragon Sanctuary. Unlike the Eternal Phoenix Domain, where entry was closely guarded, no one approached or attempted to stop them from entering the territory. In fact, Yuan noticed a constant flow of other presences arriving at the territory at the same time, giving the place a more open and welcoming atmosphere. However, Yuan didn't know where to start.
In order to become affiliated with a territory, one typically required the approval of the territory's master. However, the Divine Dragon Sanctuary, being one of the largest and most powerful territories in the Primal Expanse, operated differently. It was impractical for one of the strongest beings in the world to handle such insignificant matters, so a dedicated group of individuals was appointed specifically for this purpose.
"Yingzi, can you sense any dragons nearby?" Yuan asked her.
"I sense a few, but none of them have the scent of a true dragon. They probably belong to an inferior bloodline."
"Can you bring us to the one who seems to be the most reliable?"
"How can I tell if they're reliable?"
"Uhh… forget it. Just bring us to the closest one."
"Okay."
Sometime later, Yuan and Yingzi approached a tall man with striking blue hair. The moment he sensed Yuan's scent and powerful aura, the man's eyes widened in surprise and awe.
"W-who are you?"
