Chapter 551: Chapter 206: The Dragon Clan’s Treasure, Dragon Palace!_4

Just then—

“Brother!”

A stream of Liu Guang shot forth from the depths of the Sea Island, it was Ao Tian, and at this moment, Ao Tian had none of his usual frivolity, he said hurriedly and anxiously, “Black Dragon is missing, I’ve been looking for him for three days, and I’ve checked all his favorite places to play.”

“I even went to the Red Fish Group to the far west where he sometimes likes to go and scare them, but I didn’t find any trace of him.”

“Even his two sisters said they haven’t seen Black Dragon for several days now.”

“Hmm?”

Chen Qiu’s brow furrowed as he stood up and looked at Ao Tian, puzzled, “Don’t worry just yet, could Black Dragon have gone to the Xuantian Continent by himself? He’s always been fascinated by the Xuantian Continent.”

They met the dragon under the sea, who was Black Dragon, ten days after they had annihilated the Evil State.

“Impossible.”

Ao Tian paced back and forth anxiously on the spot, slapping his head, his voice full of urgency.

“He’s only attained Nascent Soul cultivation and hasn’t broken through to Divinity Transformation yet, he hasn’t even transformed, how could he possibly go to the Xuantian Continent, wouldn’t he be discovered right away?”

“A Nascent Soul Dragon Clan member heading to the Xuantian Continent is doomed to die!”

“I’ve been to the Xuantian Continent these past three days to inquire, and no one along the coast has seen a black dragon come ashore, which means Black Dragon didn’t go to the Xuantian Continent. Otherwise, in his untransformed state, he couldn’t have gone unnoticed.”

“Hmm…”

Chen Qiu was also at a loss for a moment, “If he didn’t go out to play, and he didn’t go to the Xuantian Continent, where could he have gone… Wait, I just remembered something, that bonfire party three days ago.”

“You were talking to me and Fat Long the whole time, leaving Black Dragon all alone, lying off at a distance; could he have felt neglected and run away from home?”

“Run away from home?!”

Ao Tian’s eyes widened as he shook his head firmly, “That’s utterly impossible, the term ‘runaway’ doesn’t fit with the Dragon Clan at all. There’s no such thing as a ‘runaway’ in the Dragon Clan.”

“Moreover, I remember I did talk to him a bit, Black Dragon stopped me and said he wanted to break through to Divinity Transformation quickly, and then after Transformation, play with everyone else.”

“I was busy at the time so I pushed him aside. Only adults in the Dragon Clan can break through to Divinity Transformation, it’s a rule of the bloodline, it can’t be changed, and he’s still more than three hundred years away from adulthood.”

“Then I didn’t pay any more attention to him. Afterwards, where he went, I did not notice. I thought he had gone out to play because he was naughty, but not seeing him for three days… who knew…”

“Wait—”

All of a sudden, Ao Tian froze on the spot, looking up at Chen Qiu with a voice that even trembled a bit, fear flickering in his eyes, “That rascal didn’t go to the ‘Dragon Palace,’ did he?”

“It seems so.”

Chen Qiu nodded silently, “Eliminating the options of him being playful or heading to the Xuantian Continent, it seems the only possibility left is this ‘Dragon Palace’ you speak of. I know of Dragon Island, but this is the first I’ve heard of the Dragon Palace. What place is that?”

“That is… the origin place of the Dragon Clan.”

Ao Tian looked out over the horizon with a grim expression, “In the deepest part of the sea, long ago, the Dragon Clan from the Xuantian Continent used to live inside the ‘Dragon Palace.’

“But with the decline of the Dragon Clan, the Formation of the Dragon Palace could no longer be maintained, unable to withstand the might of the deep-sea elements, and the Dragon Clan was forced to move to live on Dragon Island.”

“This happened a long time ago; it is said that the Dragon Clan moved out of the Dragon Palace fifty thousand years ago.”

“And the Dragon Palace is not a product of the Xuantian Continent.”

“According to the Dragon Clan Ancient Books, it was the first Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan on the Xuantian Continent who, when expelled from the main lineage of the Dragon Clan from the Vast Continent, stole the ‘Dragon Palace.’

“It is a treasure of the Dragon Clan, even a treasure among the Dragon Clan Main Lineage.”

“Inside the Dragon Palace, there is a transmission ritual for the Heavenly Pride of the Dragon Clan, through which the chosen Heavenly Pride can instantly become adults, and depending on their Grade, receive appropriate dragon heritage, but the death rate is extremely high. According to the ancient books, it has been a long time since any prodigy of the Dragon Clan has ventured to this legacy.”

“The Dragon Clan cannot afford to die.”

“…”

Chen Qiu furrowed his brows in thought, forming a rough idea of the ‘Dragon Palace,’ then hesitated, “Based on what you know about Black Dragon, how high do you think his chances of dying in this Dragon Clan ritual are? Is there any hope for him to survive?”

“Ninety-nine percent.”

Ao Tian was now emanating a deep sorrow, gazing out at the sea, a tinge of regret flickering in his eyes as he spoke in a hoarse, low voice.

“Black Dragon is not one of the Heavenly Pride, he is merely an ordinary Black Dragon, it’s impossible for him to clear it.”

“Moreover, those who die in the Dragon Clan legacy will suffer excruciating agony.”

“Before their death, they will endure tortures like skinning and deboning.”
