Chapter 268: Twenty-Eight Heavens, Secret of the Ancestral Dragon
Solving the matter of the East Sea Dragon Palace, Lin Fan accelerated his flight and returned to Golden Turtle Island not long after.
Without caring about other matters, Lin Fan returned to his cave directly and went into seclusion again.
After the cave's restrictions were opened, Lin Fan took out the four Sea-Calming Pearls without hesitation to perform master recognition and refining!
"Puff~"
A mouthful of essence blood was sprayed out, and the four Sea-Calming Pearls absorbed it immediately.
The next second, Lin Fan felt that the Sea-Calming Pearls had already built a connection with him.
"Not bad, it seems the Dragon Clan didn't refine them!"
"The Sea-Calming Pearl was indeed wasted in their hands."
Muttering a sentence, Lin Fan didn't talk nonsense and started to refine the Innate Restrictions inside them directly.
With the precedent before, this refining was extremely smooth.
In just a hundred years, the Innate Restrictions within the four Sea-Calming Pearls were all refined by Lin Fan.
"Mysterious Yellow Ruler, come out!"
At this moment, Lin Fan roared low.
The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Ruler flew out directly and pierced through the four Sea-Calming Pearls. In an instant, the Sea-Calming Pearls shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye, evolving into a small thousand world.
"Ah~"
At this moment, a scream resounded from within the Sea-Calming Pearl.
Vaguely, one could see a dragon soul coiled inside, but in just a few breaths of time, it was suppressed and wiped out by the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Qi within the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Ruler, eventually turning into fragments scattered all over the ground.
"Residual soul?"
"Ancestral Dragon's?"
Frowning, Lin Fan reached out and gathered those fragments into his hands.
He mobilized his divine sense to enter and investigate without hesitation.
After all, there was no such change when refining the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls before, but these four Sea-Calming Pearls actually had residual souls; no matter how you looked at it, there was a problem.
Most importantly, the dragon aura of this residual soul was extremely rich, giving him the feeling that it was like the overlord of the Dragon Clan in the ancient era, the Ancestral Dragon—domineering, majestic, and despising everything.
The next second, Lin Fan's pupils shrank, and he scattered those fragments, muttering: "Interesting, it really is the Ancestral Dragon's residual soul!"
"And this Ancestral Dragon actually hasn't died yet, it's just a state of fake death!"
"According to the residual soul memory in this, the Ancestral Dragon forcibly sealed his own origin and turned into a dragon egg in a primitive state, somewhat similar to the Phoenix's Nirvana rebirth; he can also take this opportunity to be reborn and return."
"It's just that this Ancestral Dragon cannot recover his memory before reaching the Quasi-Saint realm, and only after entering the Quasi-Saint realm can he unlock his own seal and restore the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon aptitude and constitution."
"If this is the case, then where is the Ancestral Dragon's rebirth body? Who will it be?"
Speaking of this, the light in Lin Fan's eyes kept flickering.
This matter of the Ancestral Dragon was indeed unexpected, and made him feel that the Dragon Clan was playing a big game.
Ancestral Dragon.
An existence that reached the level of a half-step Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal in the ancient era.
Although he failed and died, the possibility of him returning after two lifetimes of accumulation to impact the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal was still very great.
However, in the myths and legends, there was no existence of the Ancestral Dragon's rebirth body; then did he succeed, or did he die prematurely before rising?
"Impossible to die prematurely!"
"The Dragon Clan seems weak, but in reality, there is also the existence of Zhulong."
"Good, he is the biological younger brother of the Ancestral Dragon in the ancient era; how could he watch his brother die?"
"Therefore, the Ancestral Dragon's rebirth body must be alive, and even arranged in an extremely safe place where there will be no accidents or dangers, and it can also ensure that he will cultivate to the Quasi-Saint realm without accidents in the future."
Speaking of this, Lin Fan's breathing accelerated sharply.
Not for anything else, because he thought of a person.
A person he had never cared about before, and even somewhat despised.
Chan Sect Twelve Golden Immortals: Huanglong!
One of the three-nothing immortals recorded in later generations, it could be said that he was the most unwelcome among the Twelve Golden Immortals, but with Yuanshi Tianzun's dislike of those with scales and armor, and those born from wet eggs, being able to apprentice and become one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Huanglong must have some real skills.
Besides that, being able to make Yuanshi Tianzun almost go against his conscience to accept him, the Dragon Clan must have also contributed a share, and even paid a painful price to exchange for it.
If this was the case, then did it mean that Huanglong was the Ancestral Dragon's rebirth body, and he was the Ancestral Dragon, just not awakened yet?
"What a move of deceiving the heavens!"
"What a move of stealing the beams and replacing the pillars!"
Subconsciously praising, Lin Fan could basically conclude that the Ancestral Dragon's rebirth body was Huanglong.
Being able to hug Yuanshi Tianzun's thigh at the first time, and even enter the sequence of the Twelve Golden Immortals, already showed that as long as he didn't actively betray, there couldn't be any danger.
In this way, once Huanglong's cultivation advanced to Quasi-Saint, and then restored the Ancestral Dragon's cultivation, or even impacted a higher realm, at that time Yuanshi Tianzun would not be able to turn against him, and would even have to cover up the existence of the Ancestral Dragon, making his identity as Huanglong Zhenren completely established.
Even if the Ancestral Dragon couldn't reach the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, but reaching half-step Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal would also possess combat power not inferior to a Saint. How could Yuanshi Tianzun cut off his own arms for such a thing that strengthens the Chan Sect?
Even if there might not be any master-disciple friendship between the two at that time, as long as Yuanshi Tianzun didn't expel him from the sect, Huanglong would be Huanglong, not the Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Clan, nor would he become the leader of other forces, let alone become an enemy of the Chan Sect.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan took a deep breath and muttered: "The Ancestral Dragon has such means, then what about Yuanfeng? Ancestral Qilin?"
"Did those three overlords of the ancient era really disappear into the long river of history so easily? Or are they all planning in the dark!"
Thinking of this, Lin Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Combined with Kong Xuan and Yuyixian joining the Jie Sect, and even the guardian beast of the Yin Shang in the future being the Mysterious Bird, basically, the possibility of Yuanfeng's death was not great.
In this way, that Ancestral Qilin was also secretly accumulating his own strength to resurrect, and I don't know what his situation is now, and what level he has reached.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan stood up and prepared to go to Tongtian Jiaozhu to ask about the whereabouts of the Qilin Clan.
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
Suddenly, a roar resounded.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see the Twenty-Eight Heavens behind Lin Fan completely linked together.
It was also at this moment, under the condition that the Twenty-Eight Heavens fit together, that another evolution occurred. The twenty-eight small thousand worlds evolved into middle thousand worlds at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was also at this moment that Lin Fan only felt his whole body tremble, and a vast power began to pour into his body. Under such circumstances, his magic power and cultivation began to improve rapidly.
