Chapter 193: Cang Ancestor

In the East Sea, dark clouds gathered, thunder rumbled, and a storm shrouded a radius of a thousand miles.

On the surging sea, white waves rolled, and a massive water spout gradually rose, its diameter exceeding a hundred miles and its height over a thousand zhang.

After a long while, the waves subsided, and the sky-filling dark clouds retreated, replaced by ten thousand miles of white clouds.

The water spout gradually dissipated, revealing a massive, semi-transparent green light barrier, inside of which was a giant island.

"Roar—!!!" A wild, arrogant roar shook the air, the light barrier dissolved, and the next instant, dozens of black shadows shot into the sky, their massive bodies exceeding a hundred meters, circling the island.

Only then could the appearance of the black shadows be clearly seen: lithe in form, with powerful hooked claws, galloping amidst the clouds and waves.

Their bodies were long like snakes, with scales like fish and horns like deer; each dragon scale was like a layered mountain range, exuding an aura of profound majesty. Every one of them was an existence no weaker than a True God.

True Dragons.

The most mysterious and powerful tribe in the East Sea; the dragon race usually wandering the East Sea were merely juniors of the True Dragon tribe, and rarely did a True Dragon of True God level appear.

The powerful existences among the dragon race resided on this legendary Dragon Island.

There were no shortage of True God levels, and even True Dragons at the True Immortal level could be counted on one hand; they were the undisputed overlords of the East Sea.

If they weren't accustomed to life in the sea, it would be no difficult task to carve out a Dragon Kingdom on Shenzhou.

"Roar~" An aged roar vibrated, and the divine dragons dancing in the sky descended back to Dragon Island. A moment later, a mountain range on Dragon Island began to tremble.

The mountain collapsed, the forest fell, and a massive ancient dragon with pale scales and faint golden patterns burning on them stretched its body on Dragon Island.

Its body was so large it nearly reached ten thousand meters; a single dragon head was larger than the bodies of True God-level divine dragons.

"Cang Ancestor, why have you awakened?"

A golden dragon with a body nearly a thousand meters long climbed out from beneath Dragon Island, exuding a heavy True Immortal aura, with a golden bone crown between the two horns on its head.

That was the symbol of the contemporary Dragon Clan leader, the Golden Dragon Crown, a genuine End Realm Immortal Artifact, a grade higher than top-tier Immortal Artifacts; there were perhaps not many such items in the world today.

The ancient dragon called Cang Ancestor did not respond; its eyes were already somewhat turbid, as if it were struggling to recall something.

A full half-quarter of an hour passed before it slowly spoke, its voice alone enough to stun some great demons.

"Dragon Emperor, I have sensed the aura of the Golden Scale Bracelet."

The Dragon Emperor's eyes sharpened, its vertical pupils contracting, "Cang Ancestor, are you referring to the Golden Scale Bracelet of that First Ancestor?"

Cang Ancestor lowered its dragon head, "It is approaching at high speed."

The Dragon Emperor's body shook, it activated the Dragon Emperor Crown, then looked toward the horizon, vaguely sensing the aura of the Golden Scale Bracelet.

A moment later, a beam of demonic light tore through the clouds and arrived, carrying terrifying demonic might.

"It is the aura of the Golden Scale Bracelet, but why does it feel like the one holding it is not that First Ancestor?"

The Dragon Emperor stared at that demonic light and spoke; although no one else possessed such pure demonic Qi besides that First Ancestor, it felt something was not quite right.

"Young descendant, where did your Golden Scale Bracelet come from?" Cang Ancestor spoke, its gray-white whiskers drifting unconsciously.

It recognized the Golden Scale Bracelet; it could not be wrong. It had personally placed it on the Crown Prince back then.

It was just that the one bringing back the Golden Scale Bracelet now was not the Crown Prince.

In the sky, the demonic light dissipated, and Qin Jiang's figure descended slightly, hovering in mid-air.

"I encountered a demonic dragon calling itself the Dragon Ancestor in an Ancient Yu Kingdom ruin. It is named Ao Yun, claiming to be the first demonic dragon between heaven and earth, the former Dragon Emperor Crown Prince. Do you recognize him?"

As the words fell, Cang Ancestor and the Dragon Emperor could not help but take a deep breath; their exhaled breath was not controlled well, snapping a thousand-year-old tree.

"Recognize! Recognize!" Cang Ancestor's voice trembled slightly. Qin Jiang nodded and casually tossed the Golden Scale Bracelet in his hand to Cang Ancestor. One of Cang Ancestor's whiskers curled, threading the Golden Scale Bracelet and holding it before its eyes to observe.

Looking at this familiar Golden Scale Bracelet, it was exactly the same as it had been back then. Water welled up in its eyes, carrying sorrow.

It was not sentimental, but now that tens of thousands of years had passed, those ancient memories had surfaced in its mind again, like a surging tide, difficult to suppress.

Those scenes were too profound; they were the pain it could not shake off.

"I wonder where the Crown Prince's remains are now? I will go to bring the Crown Prince back for burial."

It spoke with relief, thinking that if the Crown Prince returned, His Majesty could also rest in peace.

Qin Jiang tilted his head slightly, "The Dragon Ancestor is not dead. He asked me to bring a message to the current Dragon Clan leader, saying that he, Ao Yun, is still alive, and for you to bring the Ten Thousand Dragon Blood."

Cang Ancestor's gaze, which had been examining the Golden Scale Bracelet, stalled; it raised its head to look at Qin Jiang, "What did you say?"

"He is not dead," Qin Jiang said again.

He waved his hand, and a sea map constructed of demonic light appeared, with a miniature Dragon Island located in the center, and a light spot in the far distance.

"The location of that light spot is the island where the dragon race is located, but he has now merged with that island. You can discuss among yourselves what to do."

Cang Ancestor stared blankly at this sea map, looked at the Dragon Emperor, then at the Golden Scale Bracelet, its dragon whiskers trembling.

"Roar—!!!" "Ao Feng, Ao Yu! Stop sleeping! Come with me!"

The roar shook the heavens, the entire Dragon Island trembled, and Cang Ancestor's massive body pulled away from the mountain range; a flash of golden light restored the mountain range to its original state.

Then it gripped the air with its dragon claw, and a beam of blood light flew out from the lake in the center of Dragon Island; it was a huge blood-red jade bead.

At the same time, two other mountain ranges on Dragon Island shook, and two slightly smaller, but still over five-thousand-meter-long, aged giant dragons flew out.

One was light green, its dragon whiskers like vines; the other was light blue, its dragon horns like icebergs.

Three streams of light fled into the distance, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

The Dragon Emperor, left behind, looked at the horizon, then at Qin Jiang in mid-air, "There is no need to maintain human form on Dragon Island."

Qin Jiang's gaze dropped, "I am a human."

???

Doubt welled up in the Dragon Emperor's eyes, and the golden bone crown on its head swayed slightly. Do you want to hear what you are saying? A demonic dragon bloodline pure to this degree does not even exist on Dragon Island today! If anyone else possessed such a pure Golden Dragon bloodline, I would even give you my position as Dragon Emperor! After a moment of silence, golden light spread across its body, and a moment later, the golden light dissipated, and a middle-aged man appeared in its place.

His black hair reached his waist, his pupils were dark gold, a pair of dragon horns curved, and he wore a golden bone crown.

"Please."

Qin Jiang landed, walked side-by-side with him toward the lake in the center of Dragon Island.

They hadn't walked long; at their pace, even if it was just a stroll, an ordinary True God might not be able to catch up.

Passing through the forest, a huge lake appeared before them, and several True Dragons were playing in the lake.

In the dense forest on the shore, small dragon people ran about from time to time, quietly observing Qin Jiang, but not daring to get too close.

"Dao Brother, this is Dragon Heart Lake, which has the effect of baptizing the dragon body. Would you like to go down and wash?" the Dragon Emperor smiled.

Qin Jiang's eyes flickered; he walked to the shore, squatted down, and casually scooped up some lake water, which contained a strange vitality.
