Chapter 1655 Divine Dragon Council(3)



Chapter 1655  Divine Dragon Council(3)

'Huh? That's it?' Yuan thought, surprised by how easy the process had been. He had expected the assessment to be much more difficult and strict, but in reality, it had turned out to be far simpler than he had anticipated.

"Then I'll head to the second floor now." Yuan gave the young man a slight bow before approaching the spiraling staircase by the wall.

Several moments later, Yuan stepped onto the second floor. The layout and decorations were almost identical to those on the first floor. At the other end of the room, a middle-aged man was slumped over a desk, seemingly asleep. His posture was relaxed, and his soft, rhythmic breathing filled the otherwise quiet room.

Yuan didn't say anything and approached the desk.

Suddenly, without opening his eyes, the middle-aged man spoke, "It's been two hundred years since someone was sent up here."

A moment later, the man slowly opened his eyes and sat up, his calm gaze immediately locking onto Yuan. "Hmm. I see why you were sent up here. You have a strong bloodline."

"Thank you."

The middle-aged man then spoke, "In order to qualify as a Divine Dragon Commander, you must demonstrate a certain level of prowess, and your bloodline must be at least Commander quality." In the Primal Expanse, bloodlines are ranked in the following order: Primal, Master, Commander, Emperor, and Monarch. Each rank signifies a major increase in potential and influence. Monarch-quality bloodlines sit at the very pinnacle, and only supreme beings like the Dragon God, Primordial Phoenix, and Primal Monarch possess such powerful bloodlines. The middle-aged man retrieved a finger-sized needle and tossed it to Yuan.

"Feed it your blood," he instructed.

Yuan didn't act right away. Instead, he stared at the needle in silence for a moment, as there was a good chance this would expose his identity.

The next moment, Yuan pricked his finger with the needle, and it immediately absorbed his blood.

09:54

"What are you thinking so deeply about?" The middle-aged man suddenly inquired when he noticed Yuan's hesitancy.

"Nothing important. It's just that I've never seen anything like this before and was wondering what it does." Yuan said with an innocent smile.

"Where did you come from to have never seen that before? It tests the quality of your bloodline." The middle-aged man briefly explained.

"I see…"

The next moment, Yuan pricked his finger with the needle, and it immediately absorbed his blood.

Once the needle had consumed enough of Yuan's blood, it began to glow faintly with a green light. In a matter of moments, the color shifted rapidly from green to blue, then to red, before finally settling into a glistening silver. The middle-aged man's eyes widened with shock.

"Q-quickly! Let me see it!" He hastily urged.

Yuan nodded and gave the needle to him, who inspected it with a serious expression on his face.

"My eyes are not deceiving me! You actually have an Emperor-quality bloodline!?" The middle-aged man stood up and shifted his gaze from the needle to Yuan, his eyes burning with excitement.

"What sort of bloodline do you have?!"

Yuan was inwardly relieved that the needle only revealed the quality of his bloodline and nothing more.

"Uhh… I don't know," he responded a moment later.

"What do you mean by that?" "I grew up without my parents."

"Is that so?" the middle-aged man muttered, his tone laced with skepticism as he eyed the glowing needle. While he clearly doubted Yuan's background, he didn't outright deny it either. After all, given how chaotic the Primal Expanse was, Yuan's claim was entirely possible—even common. In a realm where powerful bloodlines often mingled and mysterious origins were not unheard of, the idea of someone like Yuan emerging from obscurity wasn't out of the question.

"Alright, you pass this assessment. Congratulations, you're the second to pass the second floor in the last thousand years."

"What about assessing my prowess?" Yuan asked.

"You'll be doing that on the next floor. Although your cultivation is lacking, I don't doubt you have immense potential as someone with an Emperor-quality bloodline, so there's a very good chance you'll qualify as a Divine Dragon Commander even if you fail the next assessment." "Alright. Then I'll head to the next floor now." Shortly after Yuan left the second floor, the middle-aged man noticed the needle was still glowing.

"That's strange. Why is it still active?"

Right as he muttered these words, the needle abruptly changed colors again.

"T-this is—?!" he gasped, his face pale with shock. He dropped the needle and stumbled backward, falling onto his buttocks.

The silver needle was now glowing a brilliant golden color.

"A golden glow…" he whispered in disbelief, fully aware of the significance of such a sight.

"No… this can't be possible!"

The middle-aged man shook his head in disbelief before staring at the golden needle for a moment longer. Then, he pulled out something that worked like a communication jade slip and started speaking into it.

Meanwhile, Yuan had just reached the third floor, only to find it completely empty except for two words painted on the wall that read, "Be patient."

After seeing the words, Yuan patiently waited for the interviewer to show up.

'There's a formation in the center of the room.' Yu Ning suddenly notified him.

She continued after examining it, 'It appears to be a teleport formation.'

Yuan smiled as he sat on the floor and patiently waited for the interviewer to show up. Unbeknownst to Yuan, the Divine Dragon Sanctuary was in a commotion, stirred by a piece of specific information that spread like wildfire amongst the upper ranks.

"What? A new descendant of the Dragon God showed up?"

"How is that even possible? The Dragon God should only have three descendants!"

"Perhaps he conceived another one in secret."

"That's highly unlikely."

"Where's this supposed fourth descendant?"

"According to Councillor Luo, he's currently on the third floor of the Divine Dragon Hall."

"How long has it been since someone made it to the third floor?"

"Who's going to do the assessment?"

"I heard the interviewer has already been decided."

About fifteen minutes had passed since Yuan began waiting for his interviewer to show up when the teleportation formation suddenly flickered to life, and a handsome young man with a dignified and commanding presence emerged from it.
