Chapter 1134: Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm
An Lin was extremely distressed by this train of thought.
Speaking of which, there was a Dragon Tribe statue on the summit of the Dragon Turtle Divine Mountain, but where was the Heavenly Turtle Tribe statue?
An Lin was connected to the Heavenly Turtle Tribe, so he couldn’t pay his respects to some Dragon Tribe ancestor that he wasn’t even related to, could he?
He explored the area, but he could not see any turtle statues. It appeared that there was nothing else on the summit of this divine mountain aside from the Dragon Tribe statue and that forest of blue cherry blossoms.
“The successors of the Dragon Tribe are here to pay respects to our esteemed ancestor. May the Ancestral Dragon bless our tribe!” Ao Meng stood at the forefront of his group and made a peculiar seal with his hands before extending a salute toward the dragon statue.
All of the other Dragon Court cultivators followed suit.
Xiao Ze and Xu Xiaolan both wore extremely solemn expressions, and they too emulated Ao Meng’s hand seal before extending salutes to the azure dragon statue.
The azure dragon seemed to have come to life at that moment. It looked down upon all of the Dragon Tribe cultivators below while particles of azure light emanated from its body before rising into the sky.
The dark clouds in the sky were suddenly parted.
Boom boom boom…
Pillars of azure light tore through the dark clouds before descending upon all of the cultivators present, including Xiao Ze and Xu Xiaolan.
Except for An Lin.
That’s right, An Lin was like a husky that had accidentally ended up in a wolf pack.
All of the Dragon Tribe cultivators received the blessings of the azure light, while he was left to stand around like an awkward idiot.
He emulated Xu Xiaolan in making a hand seal and extending a salute, but the Ancestral Dragon completely ignored him…
“Is this the aura of the Ancestral Dragon? It’s so pure, as if it’s the origin of everything, as if it the extreme dao…” Xu Xiaolan’s eyes were glowing. “I understand now… I understand the path to pursuing the True Dragon bloodline.”
Xiao Ze seemed to have attained enlightenment and appeared to be in deep thought with his eyes closed.
It was quite clear that this ritual was not simply to pay respects to their ancestors. All of the Dragon Tribe powerful beings also benefited greatly during this process!
An Lin was feeling extremely distraught. Where was his big turtle?!
The pillars of azure light began to dissipate, and all of the Dragon Tribe powerful beings had gained something from it.
Xu Xiaolan and Xiao Ze were the happiest among everyone. They seemed to have attained enlightenment in something of vital importance.
An Lin knew that this was not actually the end.
From the information Bei Lian had provided to them, he knew that there was a trial awaiting them!
Light flashed in the azure dragon statue’s eyes, and two crimson poles with dragons carved onto them erupted from the ground. Between the two poles was a rippling gate of light that prevented the people outside from being able to see the inside.
Ao Meng turned to the Dragon Tribe cultivators behind him. “The Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm is already open. Remember to not engage in any risky battles in there. Make sure to prioritize your survival above all else, and you will all be summoned back here in two days!”
The Dragon King didn’t give a stirring speech to pump everyone up. Instead, he was cautioning everyone to prioritize their lives above all else as this place really was extremely dangerous.
As for why they would venture into such a dangerous place, it was obviously because there were things in there that were worthy of the risk the Dragon Tribe cultivators were taking!
“Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm huh…” A smile appeared on An Lin’s face as he turned toward Xu Xiaolan and Xiao Ze. “Do you want to go?”
Xu Xiaolan and Xiao Ze nodded at the same time without any hesitation.
An Lin nodded with a smile. “Alright, I’ll come with you.”
There were a total of twenty-eight Dragon Tribe cultivators here.
However, only twenty of them chose to cross into the gate of light.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xiao Ze were all part of the latter group.
“An Lin, you’re not part of the Dragon Tribe, what are you going to do there?”
A crisp voice sounded in his mind, clearly through the use of a voice transmission technique.
An Lin turned around and saw a pretty Dragon Tribe woman with her hands clasped behind her back while looking at him with a smile on her face.
An Lin recognized her. She was Princess Yin Yu, the only sibling Bei Lian still cared for.
Speaking of which, An Lin had saved her life before, so they were close friends.
In order to avoid detection from the Dragon King, both of them had come to a tacit understanding not to interact with one another.
Now that the Dragon King had entered the gate of light, Yin Yu finally couldn’t resist the urge to talk to An Lin.
An Lin transmitted his voice in response, “I’m just curious. I want to go inside and broaden my horizons.”
Princess Yin Yu repressed the urge to laugh. “You really haven’t changed at all.”
“Are you not going in?”
“Forget it! I’m way too weak. I’m fine just waiting outside. I hope you make a safe return.”
“Don’t worry, I’m super bad*ss, so I’ll definitely make a safe return!”
Thus, their fleeting conversation drew to a conclusion.
An Lin stepped through the gate of light.
Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm.
I’m coming!
The Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm was actually the place where the Dragon Tribe was situated in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm!
The Ancient Tai Chu Realm was open once every century for a duration of a month.
However, the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm was a little special. To put it more accurately, it was a backdoor the Dragon Tribe ancestors had opened for their successors. It would be opened once every five years for a duration of two days at a time.
This area was extremely far away from the Void Star Section of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm and was maintained by a monstrously powerful formation so that even Return to Void Final Stage mighty figures who had attained the power of the divine dao could enter and not suffer any backlashes.
However, it would be a grave mistake to think that this was some sort of paradise.
On the contrary, this was a place that was fraught with peril!
It was a brutal battlefield for the Dragon Tribe powerful beings from the Western Dragon Forest, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas, and the evil dragons of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm!
This place was cursed by a certain power of law.
If a Dragon Tribe cultivator slew another Dragon Tribe cultivator here, they would be able to absorb some of the slain Dragon Tribe cultivator’s power and could even improve their cultivation base as a result.
According to Bei Lian, her sixth sister, Ao Yuetang, was at the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage when she last went in, and she had progressed to the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage upon her return two days later! This was simply an astounding rate of growth.
It was exactly because of this that the Dragon Tribe powerful beings still flocked to the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm, even though it was an extremely perilous place.
In this world, they would either reap massive rewards or become fertilizer for other Dragon Tribe cultivators.
An Lin was struck by a burst of dizziness.
In the next instant, he had already appeared in an unfamiliar world.
Xu Xiaolan and Xiao Ze were already nowhere to be found.
The teleportation mechanism was the same for the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm as it was for the Ancient Tai Chu Realm. All living beings were randomly distributed all over the continent.
An Lin stood at the pinnacle of a tall mountain as his body was buffeted by frosty winds. He was greeted by the sight of a series of mountain ranges stretching as far as the eye could see. Overhead was a dazzling, starry night sky that was so vast that it made him feel impossibly tiny and insignificant in comparison.
“I should find Xiaolan first.
“This place is too dangerous, so I have to be her knight in shining armor.”
A smile appeared on An Lin’s face.
He flew into the air atop his brick before traveling in a certain direction.
As for why he was traveling in that particular direction…
He had actually chosen it completely at random.
He believed firmly in the bond he had with Xu Xiaolan. As long as he set off in a certain direction, fate would bring them together!
