Chapter 75: Am I Also a Dragon? Dragon Clan Inheritance

Under the towering ancient tree.

The old dragon's face was filled with weariness, and even in his calm eyes there was a hint of turbidity, like an elderly person nearing the end of his life.

However, the moment his calm yet turbid eyes swept over Feng Yi and the others, everyone trembled from the depths of their hearts, an unconscious sense of awe arising.

This is the gap in the hierarchy of life, an instinctive awe of the strong, not subject to one's own will.

Unlike Sui Ren Shi, who remains only as a lingering obsession, the ancient ancestor dragon before us is a true ancestral god.

Even though he is extremely aged, approaching the end of his life, and shows no outward aura, he still gives an indescribable sense of oppression.

The two juvenile dragons had already prostrated themselves on the ground, kowtowing to the ancient ancestor dragon.

And the little beast Keke looked at the ancient ancestor dragon somewhat bewildered, his big eyes unconsciously showing a hint of friendliness.

Ding—!

Just then, a lingering piano note sounded, carrying a hint of ethereality, like the heavenly tone born of heaven and earth, soothing the repressed feelings in everyone's hearts.

Feng Yi stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said softly: "Greetings, Senior Ancestor Dragon!"

At the same time, his mind sank into his body, allowing the aura of the Fuxi Qin and the firewood to gradually connect.

Although this old dragon before us appears calm in aura and even somewhat kind‑eyed, in the later part of the original work he also chose to side with the Nine Provinces' ancestral gods.

But we cannot therefore treat him as an ordinary old man.

To become an Ancestor Dragon, one must surely be a ruthless figure forged by treading on countless bones; Feng Yi has never in his heart regarded him as a kind old man.

At the moment the piano note sounded, the ancient ancestor dragon's turbid eyes flashed with a faint light for an instant, and he deeply gazed at Feng Yi.

Then he extended a dragon claw, gestured, and the little beast Keke flew onto him of its own accord.

Ee‑ya!

The little beast Keke seemed not at all afraid of him, continuously jumping around him and making childish sounds.

In the ancient ancestor dragon's eyes appeared a benevolent expression; he fondly rubbed its head with his dragon claw, as if looking at his own descendants.

On the other side, Xiao Chen had been somewhat worried about Keke, but seeing this scene he instantly put his mind at ease.

At the same time, he grew ever more convinced that Keke was a young Ancestor Dragon.

After doing all this, the ancient ancestor dragon slowly opened his dragon mouth and emitted an extremely aged voice: "Fuxi, I never expected to meet you again—you have become like this!"

Saying this, a hint of human‑like sentiment appeared on his dragon face, as if he had known Fuxi before.

Upon hearing the ancient ancestor dragon's words, Feng Yi's thoughts raced; he then gently shook his head and repeated what he had previously said to Sui Ren Shi.

Although he has accommodated Fuxi's status, he is indeed not Fuxi now, lacking both the power of the Fuxi of these heavens and Fuxi's memories.

Before these true experts, especially before this being who might have known Fuxi, Feng Yi would not voluntarily claim to be Fuxi, lest he be exposed and embarrassed.

It is safer for these strong ones to imagine all this themselves.

"Is that so?"

After listening to Feng Yi's account, the ancient ancestor dragon's turbid eyes fixed tightly on him, reflecting in their depths the faint, elegant ancient qin within him that gave him a sense of danger, while countless thoughts turned in his mind.

After a while, he nodded and said: "Now I understand!"

He did not say whether he believed it or what he had guessed, but directly changed the subject, uttering an astonishing remark: "Fellow Daoist Feng, do you know that, to a certain extent, you can actually be considered half an Ancestor Dragon?"

"Ancestor Dragon!"

Lan Nuo and Xiao Chen beside him looked at Feng Yi in surprise, recalling Keke's and the two juvenile dragons' affection toward him, and a hint of realization appeared.

And upon hearing the ancient ancestor dragon's words, Feng Yi thought of Keke's earlier behavior and felt in his heart that it was indeed so.

"It seems the Primordial Ancestor Dragon's gift of Ancestor Dragon Qi to me is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface!"

Having this thought arise, Feng Yi clasped his hands before the ancient ancestor dragon, spoke calmly: "I come from the Ancestor Dragon Village in the mortal realm; I once received a strand of Primordial Ancestor Dragon Qi from the senior Primordial Ancestor Dragon, and through special means I fully integrated it into myself—perhaps that is the reason!"

"Ancestor Dragon Village's Primordial Ancestor Dragon."

A hint of doubt appeared in the ancient ancestor dragon's eyes; obviously, as an Ancestor Dragon born in this present era of civilization, he is unaware of the secret of how several Primordial Ancestor Dragons that fell in pre‑BC times transformed into the Yellow River of the Nine Provinces, nor does he know about the Ancestor Dragon Village.

Moreover, his mind remains focused on dragon clan affairs; he has not yet fully decided to side with the Nine Provinces' ancestral gods, so he also does not know their plans.

Seeing this, Feng Yi did not conceal anything and gave a rough explanation of the Ancestor Dragon Village and the Primordial Ancestor Dragon.

Beside him, Lan Nuo listened to Feng Yi's explanation and could not help but show a hint of surprise, as if he had not expected that the Yellow River, the source of life for the Nine Provinces, was actually formed from a Primordial Ancestor Dragon.

"Heavenly Stele. Again the Heavenly Stele."

On the other side, after hearing Feng Yi's account, the ancient ancestor dragon unconsciously looked toward the ancient city at the center of Dragon Island, his eyes showing a pained expression.

What wickedness have we dragon folk brought upon ourselves?

How did we end up so unlucky as to become entangled with the Heavenly Stele?

After his thoughts turned, he only after a while collected his emotions, looked at Feng Yi and said: "Since the Primordial Ancestor Dragon actively bestowed it, you, Fellow Daoist Feng, are now also considered to have an affinity with my dragon clan."

Having said that, a hint of contemplation appeared in the ancient ancestor dragon's eyes, and then he suddenly extended his dragon claw.

Chant.

In an instant, a resounding dragon roar erupted from the ancient ancestor dragon's body, making the entire Dragon Clan Holy Mountain seem to tremble.

At this moment the ancient ancestor dragon seemed to become a towering primeval giant, emanating a tremendous, awe‑inspiring aura and majesty.

But the next moment, all his aura retracted; he reverted to that aged, twilight‑year old dragon, except that a phantom dragon silhouette continuously danced between his claws, as if formed from countless dragon‑shaped runes.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, this is the dragon clan's battle techniques and divine abilities inheritance; you have received the Primordial Ancestor Dragon's gift, and to a certain extent you can be considered half an Ancestor Dragon—these inheritances should aid your growth."

Having said that, the ancient ancestor dragon extended his dragon claw; with a whoosh, that dragon silhouette instantly flew to Feng Yi's front.

"This"

Gazing at that dragon silhouette containing some mysterious information, Feng Yi couldn't help but startle; before he could say more, the ancient ancestor dragon's aged voice sounded again: "Fellow Daoist Feng, accept it—this also counts as our dragon clan's investment in your future. I am old and can no longer protect the dragon clan; I hope that after you grow stronger, you will, in consideration of the Primordial Ancestor Dragon and today's events, shelter the dragon clan and help my dragon clan resolve the curse."

It is merely some cultivation method inheritance; to an existence of the ancient ancestor dragon's level it is nothing, just a good karmic tie.

After all, unlike in ancient times, when he, as an Ancestor Dragon somewhat stronger than ordinary ancestral gods, believed he could guard the dragon clan, he saw no need to intervene in the war between the Nine Provinces' ancestral gods and those of another world, choosing instead to remain a detached observer.

But now he is old, yet the dragon clan has not produced a second Ancestor Dragon.

Since this youth before us, who resembles Fuxi, has received the Primordial Ancestor Dragon's gift, he already has a deep connection with the dragon clan to a certain extent; the ancient ancestor dragon naturally will seize the opportunity to continue winning him over, hoping that in the future he will recover Fuxi's strength and memories, return to the position of ancestral god, and then look after the dragon clan to some degree.

Well then, thank you, senior; I'll just obey rather than show respect.

Hearing the Old Ancestor Dragon say that, Feng Yi no longer acted pretentious and chose to accept.

He himself was already interested in the Dragon Clan's battle techniques and divine abilities, and what's more, this inheritance came from the true Ancestor Dragon before him.

Moreover, he had already promised the Primordial Ancestor Dragon that, once his cultivation succeeded in the future, he would help the Dragon Clan resolve its curse, and he now had no thought of breaking that oath.

With thoughts turning in his mind, Feng Yi's spirit stirred and he directly entered the Dragon Shadow before him.

Chant.

In the spiritual world, a Dragon Roar that echoed through time and space sounded.

The next moment, an indescribable Ancestor Dragon appeared, continually flying and dancing, like a Divine Dragon breaking through Chaos, bearing an unyielding, soaring will.

In an instant, Feng Yi's spirit was completely immersed in that Ancestor Dragon, feeling that each of its dragon scales and each pattern seemed to contain profound law information.

This is the Divine Will Inheritance, containing the insights of the Old Ancestor Dragon before him, allowing Feng Yi to directly comprehend the true meaning contained within the inheritance.

Countless information continually condensed, forming characters in Feng Yi's spirit that made up many Dragon Clan battle techniques and divine abilities.

Finally, that Ancestor Dragon let out a Dragon Roar that shook heaven and earth, then suddenly shattered, turning into countless the Great Dao Runes.

The runes continually reorganized, eventually forming the Six Directions Great World endlessly reincarnating, emanating a terrifying aura of destroying myriad heavens.

Gazing at the Six Directions Great World, Feng Yi's spirit directly fell into a daze, as if about to be sucked into it and utterly extinguished.

But just then, a lingering zither sound rang out, awakening him from extinction and restoring his spirit.

At that moment, the Six Directions Great World had also dissipated, re-forming into countless the Great Dao Runes, which finally composed a Supreme Great Divine Ability.

The Dragon Clan's supreme Great Divine Ability: Six Paths Reincarnation!

The moment that thought arose in his mind, Feng Yi's spirit returned from within his body, and the Dragon Shadow in his hand also disappeared.

Feeling the emergence of several Dragon Clan battle techniques in his spirit, as well as that renowned Supreme Great Divine Ability, Six Paths Reincarnation, Feng Yi couldn't help but feel a hint of joy.

Not to mention those several powerful Dragon Clan battle techniques; just that Six Paths Reincarnation Great Divine Ability alone is one of the strongest divine abilities in heaven and earth, cultivable to the utmost, to the point that even the Primordial God could be worn away.

'Six Paths Reincarnation.'

'Among the myriad worlds, there are truly not few divine abilities that embody the meaning of Six Paths Reincarnation; in the future, when traversing the myriad worlds, perhaps we will get to witness the collision of Six Paths Reincarnation from different worlds.'

With thoughts turning in his mind, Feng Yi hurriedly clasped his hands again toward the Old Ancestor Dragon and said, 'Many thanks, senior.'

The Old Ancestor Dragon casually waved its dragon claw and said offhand, 'It's just some inheritance; no need to be so polite.'

Saying this, he glanced at the two young dragons beside Feng Yi and said, 'As for Fellow Daoist Feng, regarding the Primordial Ancestor Dragon inheritance you mentioned earlier, I am already old; I will leave it to these juniors.'

After saying that, the Old Ancestor Dragon seemed, due to previously granting Feng Yi the True Meaning Inheritance, to grow ever more weary, and directly closed its dragon eyes.

Seeing that, Feng Yi also did not disturb him further.

In the following time, Feng Yi did not choose to leave this Holy Mountain, but instead directly chose to cultivate in seclusion here.
