2010 The Dragon Ancestor's Unexpected Appearance
Shortly after the second incident, news of the events at the Dragon Spiral
Mountain spread through the Nine Heavens like wildfire.
"You will not believe what just happened at the Dragon Spiral Mountain!"
"Aren't you a little late to the party? I heard about that literally a day after it
happened several months ago."
"No! This is a new incident that just happened recently! This time, it was
the Great One who attacked the Holy Dragon Clan at the Dragon Spiral
Mountain!"
"Heavens! The Great One? You're lying! For dragons like them, that's even
worse than offending the Celestial Emperor! After all, not even the Royal
Dragon Clan could utter a word about!"
"I'm serious! Not only that, but the Dragon Ancestor, who was thought to
have died long ago, also made an appearance! Though, he was in the form
of an avatar, so something might've happened to his physical body."
"The Dragon Ancestor is back?! We'd just received news of Dragon
Goddess Yeyou's return! What in heaven's name is happening in the Nine
Heavens?!"
News of the Dragon Ancestor's appearance sent unprecedented
shockwaves throughout the Nine Heavens—far greater than those caused
by the mention of Dragon Goddess Yeyou—primarily because his name
carried even greater fame and influence.
Unlike the Great One, who lived a selfish life, and Dragon Goddess Yeyou,
who lived a secluded one, the Dragon Ancestor was the only one who
communicated with and offered assistance to the other dragon clans.
To many dragon clans, he was regarded as their forefather—the true
Dragon of Origin. Beyond that, the Dragon Ancestor had established his
own lineage, one that continues to reign as the foremost dragon clan in all
of the Nine Heavens. His influence was nothing short of unfathomable.
Upon hearing of the Dragon Ancestor's return and his words to 'find him'—
even though they were meant for the Great One—the Ten Royal Dragon
Clans wasted no time, dispatching their armies across the Nine Heavens in
a relentless search for his whereabouts.
Naturally, the Celestial Emperor became even more cautious when he
received this news.
Meanwhile, while the entire world was in an uproar, Yuan continued to
spend his time with his own people, especially his partners, spending most
of his time in the bedroom with them.
A month passed since his meeting with Senior Bai, a familiar figure
appeared at the Super Perfect Physique Tempering Sect.
It was none other than Xi Meili.
"Sister Meili!" Feng Yuxiang was very happy to see her.
"Hello, everyone. I'm sorry it took this long for me to come here. I had to
travel the Seventh Heaven without using any teleportation formations,
which took a while," she apologized.
"Are you okay? I hear you were in the fight with Heaven's Mandate," Yuan
asked her.
She nodded, "Thankfully. If it weren't for Yin and Yang, I would've definitely
died that day," she sighed.
"What about Dong Ye? Do you know where he's at?" he then asked.
"We went our separate ways once I was close enough to you guys.
Unfortunately, he didn't tell me anything before leaving."
"That's fine. He's a crafty and cautious person. He'll return to us soon."
With Xi Meili's return, the others began catching up with her.
"By the way, did you hear? The Great One attacked the Dragon Spiral
Mountain after the Celestial Emperor, and the Dragon Ancestor showed up
to stop him," Xi Meili revealed what she heard during her journey.
"What? The Dragon Ancestor?" Yuan's eyes widened at this information.
"Yes, but from what I heard, it was just his avatar, so he didn't appear in the
flesh."
Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Either he was too far away, so he sent
his avatar, or something happened to his physical body."
Xi Meili nodded and added, "He also told the Great One to find him.
However, it could just be a stalling tactic."
"Maybe Yeyou knows something. I will ask her later," said Yuan.
"Okay."
And shortly after Xi Meili's appearance, Kelan emerged from his seclusion.
Though his cultivation remained the same, his aura had changed drastically
since his seclusion.
"Yuan! Let's fight again!"
The first thing he did after coming out of seclusion was ask for a fight.
"Sure." Yuan immediately accepted since he was also itching for a fight
after spending so much time in the bedroom.
Yuan and Kelan met up at the white training ground the following day. The
others also showed up to spectate.
"Although I lost to you last time, I have a good feeling the results will be
different this time," Kelan proudly declared as they stood a dozen meters
away from each other.
Yuan smiled and said, "You'd better have improved drastically after
learning such a precious technique."
Kelan fell silent for a moment.
Then, with a solemn expression, he said, "I know I shouldn't pry, but my
curiosity won't let me stay quiet. Where in heaven's name did you obtain
this technique, which was believed to be lost to time itself?"
He quickly added, "Of course, you don't have to answer it. I just wanted to
get the question off my chest."
Yuan then said, "I acquired it from the Nameless Emperor's Tomb."
"The Nameless Emperor's Tomb! To think such a precious treasure has
been hiding there for this long. It really makes one wonder what else is
hidden in that death trap."
Kelan had visited the Nameless Emperor's Tomb more than once, but each
venture yielded nothing of true value. After barely escaping with his life
during his last expedition, he swore never to return, as the risks simply
outweighed the rewards.
However, upon learning that Yuan had acquired such a priceless technique
from that very place, doubt crept into his conviction, and he began to
reconsider.
"Alright, enough yapping from me. Let me show you how far I've come with
the Great Mammoth Body Refinement Technique!" Kelan's aura erupted as
his body began to swell, muscles bulging and bones creaking, growing
taller and bigger until he resembled that of a true giant.
