Achieved the True Dragon Saint Body, triggered a new opportunity.
Ancestor, you have treated me generously!
Let me kowtow to you!!
Xia Chuan was exhilarated. The primordial aura of this place especially resembled an ancient relic.
Even the scorching sun above seemed to contain a hint of supreme treasure's spiritual might.
This was a land of treasures!!
My path to immortality is finally becoming smooth!!
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the stream!!
I never expected to swim to the opposite shore in just fifteen years!!
I, Xia Chuan, am truly worthy of being the True Dragon!
I swim, damn fast!
"Ancestor above! Your descendant Xia Chuan is here, kowtowing in gratitude for your protection! Rest assured, once I cultivate to the Divine Emperor Realm, I will definitely take back everything you bestowed upon our Xia Clan."
Xia Chuan kowtowed fiercely, praying devoutly.
"No need, I plan to take it back myself."
But the moment his voice fell, a powerful, deep voice suddenly echoed from the void above.
Just as he looked up in confusion, he saw a silver palm imbued with peerless thunder force suddenly press down horizontally, grasping his entire body.
"Thwip!!"
A mere Profound Clear Realm cultivator couldn't possibly resist this level of complete Thunder Dao Principle.
Before the spiritual light around Xia Chuan could surge, he was lifted into the air like a dead dog.
Blood instantly sprayed from his mouth, and the aura he had just begun to form within his body instantly withered.
"Who are you! Why are you capturing me!!!"
Xia Chuan's eyes were filled with terror, especially when he saw the handsome face appearing before him, a look of shock flooding his features.
Judging by this youth's age, he probably wasn't much older than himself.
But right now, he had no power to resist in front of him!
Why?
Why are you so outstanding when we're both youths?!
Wait!!!
This face looks somewhat familiar!!
It's him!!
It's the youth who kicked me on the street!!
Earlier in Xuyun City, he was kicked flying by Ling Xiao and hadn't gotten a clear look at his face.
But now, seeing the sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, Xia Chuan felt a bone-chilling cold.
"Ding! Son of Fate's Dao Heart trembles. Congratulations, Host, on plundering 500 Luck Points and 5000 Villain Points!"
"What do you want?! Let me go! I am the Ninth Prince of the Xia Dynasty! If you dare kill me, my father won't let you off!"
"Ninth Prince of the Xia Dynasty?"
Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled. "Your father is waiting for you to accompany him in the netherworld."
As he spoke, Ling Xiao waved his hand again, forming a seal in the air, uprooting a great mountain from below, and then...
Xia Chuan felt with horror that he was flying out again.
"Boom!"
His figure crashed down,coincidentally landing right in the mountain's root cavity. The intense pain throughout his body nearly made him pass out.
But before he could stand up, he saw a shadow envelop him. The originally uprooted great mountain descended from the sky with a thunderous crash.
"No!! I can't die!!!"
"Ding! Son of Fate's Dao Heart shatters. Congratulations, Host, on plundering 500 Luck Points and 5000 Villain Points!"
"Squelch..."
Even with Xia Chuan's True Dragon Body, how could he possibly withstand the momentum of the mountain?
A generation's true dragon ultimately turned into a pile of mush beneath the mountain.
But once Xia Chuan died, the Ancient Dragon Vein he had merged into his Dantian Sea regained its freedom.
"Bzzz!!"
A clear dragon roar resounded through the heavens.
Boundless, surging spiritual energy instantly flooded the entire Domain World. The Ancient Dragon Vein transformed into a golden light, drilled into the mountain, and vanished without a trace.
Grasses and trees began to sprout from the mountain peak, immortal flowers bloomed.
Spiritual energy transformed into wind between heaven and earth, sweeping in all directions.
The originally desolate Domain World finally, after merging with two dragon veins, burst forth with vibrant vitality.
The spiritual power contained in the dragon veins would eventually be depleted, but as long as this world gave birth to Dao Principles and evolved world power, Ling Xiao's goal was achieved.
As for what to do when the dragon veins were exhausted?
Dammit!
What can I do? Of course, go dig up a few more!
Ling Xiao's gaze was clear and cold as he looked towards the end of this world, where a wisp of purple energy finally evolved into an auspicious cloud.
Sunlight and moonlight reflected each other.
Heaven and earth began to clear, winds blew over the mountain peaks.
Heh.
Did you think I was going to use Ning'er against Xia Chuan?
What a joke, she's my sister, with a pitiful background. If I used her again, wouldn't I be a beast?
What? Killed too easily?
A Son of Fate whose fortune had already been stolen, what's fun about that?
Let him grow?
Do you know how long it would take for him to grow?
I'm afraid in the blink of an eye, I might forget about him, wouldn't that be awkward!
So it's better to... move on to the next one!
At the same time, in Xuyun City, experts from prominent families and royal clans suddenly emerged, their gazes filled with either confusion or excitement as they converged towards the central ancient hall.
Xia Yong sat upright on the court dais, looking at the several dozen youths standing below and the important ministers of the dynasty beside them, his gaze majestic , his aura shaking the heavens.
"Today, I will open the ancestral grounds of the Xia Clan and select a few outstanding talents to accompany the Ninth Prince there for training."
Although Xia Yong's voice was calm now, it carried a shock to the ministers' ears.
"What! Open the Xia Clan's ancestral grounds?"
"A heaven-sent opportunity!"
"I wonder which family's scion will have this honor!!"
Excitement and anticipation surged on the faces of countless experts.
As everyone knew, this ancient hall was left by the Xia Clan ancestor who had ascended to the Upper Realm.
In other words, the opportunities he left behind must be earth-shattering.
Originally, an immortal inheritance like this would definitely not be shared by the Xia Clan.
But thinking of the Ninth Prince's useless attributes, everyone felt a sudden understanding.
His Majesty's move was probably to borrow the power of these talents to help the Ninth Prince obtain the ancestor's inheritance.
However...
Wasn't this also a form of training for them?
They might not get to eat the meat, but wasn't the broth fragrant?
"You, you, you... come with me. I will personally take you there." Die Ying's gaze swept over the several dozen youths standing below, finally selecting the twenty with the highest cultivation, and led them towards the depths of the ancient hall.
Behind them, the unchosen talents and experts all looked disappointed.
"Excellent!! My Li Clan shall rise!!"
"Congratulations, Lord Wang! For your grandson to have this experience, even if he gains no opportunity, he still has the merit of protecting the dragon. In the future, the Wang family will surely be heavily used by His Majesty."
Hearing the discussions from behind, a mocking smile instantly appeared on Xia Yong's face.
Until...
A deafening explosion suddenly came from the depths of the ancient hall.
The expressions of the court officials who had been patiently waiting in the main hall stiffened, and they rushed towards the source of the sound.
At this moment, the ancestral hall, always regarded as the Xia Clan's forbidden ground, had already turned into a field of ruins.
A faint bloody scent drifted out, causing panic to appear on many faces.
"The Xia Clan's ancestral land... exploded?!"
"His... His Majesty and the others..."
"Could it be..."
Countless speculations instantly spread everywhere.
Some said that Xia Huang, the Ninth Prince, and the twenty talents had angered the Xia Clan ancestor, causing the ancestral land to shatter, all perishing within.
Others said the ancestral land itself contained dangers, and their journey was likely doomed.
In any case, the Xia Clan's fortune had run out.
Inside the Domain World, Ling Xiao looked calmly at the twenty Xia Dynasty talents before him and nodded slightly.
"Not bad!"
Among the twenty, three actually carried Luck Points. Although only one or two hundred, it was still a pleasant little surprise.
"Where is this place?"
"Don't know... who is this youth before us?"
"Don't know either... but he seems kinda impressive."
"He will become your master." A cold smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Xia Yong's mouth. "Open your minds and consciousness, and you can obtain a heaven-defying opportunity."
"Open our minds and consciousness?"
Although some of the talents hesitated, the Emperor's words brooked no doubt. They immediately followed the instructions and opened their minds and consciousness.
At that moment, a soul light flashed and vanished in Ling Xiao's eyes. Then, the faces of the three Xia Dynasty talents carrying luck instantly froze.
The remaining seventeen... slumped to the ground, not a trace of life fluctuation left on them.
"These three, I leave to you. Teach them some assassination techniques."
Having said this, Ling Xiao's figure instantly vanished from the spot.
If... he could train a group of death warriors, all carrying Luck Points, and scatter them throughout the Holy Land to develop...
Just thinking about it was a little... exciting.
