Chapter 1797: I Need Dragon Blood

Zhang Xuan frowned. "Even if I let them kill or flay me, it's useless. If a sacred beast holds a grudge, an apology won't solve it!"

As a beast tamer, he knew that such a grudge over relocation, touching upon fundamentals, could not be resolved by simply offering a humble apology.

If he hadn't been attacked, with his invincible strength and status as the First Emperor of the Spirit Race, he could have made promises and the other party would have agreed. But now, it would be good if they didn't take the opportunity to cause trouble; winning them over was utterly impossible.

"Then what do we do?"

Emperor Chenyong also understood this, but had clung to a sliver of hope. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look over.

"There's no other way, unless..." Zhang Xuan's expression turned grave. "We can find the blood of a dragon clan expert!"

"This..."

Exchanging glances, Emperor Chenyong and Ancient Sage Boxun were each taken aback.

"Ancient Sage Huoxu has nothing to do with the dragon clan..."

Although the dragon clan was the king of all beasts, Ancient Sage Huoxu's true form had no connection whatsoever with the dragon clan. Even if he had dragon blood, what good would it do?

The two were simply unrelated.

The dragon clan had bloodline suppression; those with pure blood could suppress those with diluted blood, forcing them to submit. Everyone knew this, but it had no effect across different races.

"I need dragon blood, not to suppress it, but... to unlock the seal on the Dragon Bone Divine Spear!"

Zhang Xuan said.

With his beat-them-into-submission taming method, to tame a sacred beast, he had to overpower it in strength.

Although he had improved rapidly these past few days, reaching the Great Perfection of the Immortal Realm, he was still far from the level of a Blood Rebirth ancient sage.

Unless... the seal on the Dragon Bone Divine Spear was removed.

There were two ways to unseal the Dragon Bone Divine Spear. First, reach the ancient sage level himself and continuously nurture it with ancient sage-level true qi.

Second, find purer blood to allow the bone dragon to transform into a physical body!

The first was difficult to achieve in a short time. Although he was only one step away from that realm, he had no clue yet, so it was better to set it aside for now.

The second: once the bone dragon transformed into a physical body, it could break the seal left by Ancient Sage Ranqiu, thereby restoring the supreme power of an ancient sage's ultimate treasure.

At that time, he could completely defeat this so-called Ancient Sage Huoxu and force him to submit.

Although the ruthless man, after refining the arm, had vaguely reached the peak of Blood Rebirth, taming a sacred beast required personal strength; relying on the ruthless man would make it hard to gain its allegiance.

"Pure dragon clans, like the Spirit Gods, belong to the divine race... The plane where the Master Teacher Continent exists cannot bear them..."

Knowing his intention, Emperor Chenyong shook his head with a bitter smile.

The dragons on the Master Teacher Continent and the ancient battlefield where the Spirit Race resided mostly had impure bloodlines, not even reaching the level of flood dragons.

That was why being able to recite the authentic Eight Dragon Notes could easily make them submit.

Without pure dragon clans, dragon blood was hard to find.

"I know where there is dragon blood!"

Before he finished speaking, Ancient Sage Boxun, who was at the side, spoke up.

Zhang Xuan quickly looked over.

"What you need probably isn't true dragon bloodline, right? Dragon blood at the ancient sage level should also be able to unseal it?"

Ancient Sage Boxun asked.

True dragons couldn't exist on the continent; no matter how hard one searched, it was useless. But... dragon blood from an ancient sage-level dragon expert could still be found.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

An ancient sage was already the pinnacle of strength on the continent. Blood of that level, combined with certain methods, should easily break the seal.

"If it's just ancient sage-level dragon blood, I know where there is some..." Ancient Sage Boxun said.

"You don't mean..."

As if remembering something, Emperor Chenyong's expression turned unpleasant.

"That's right, that place!"

Nodding, Ancient Sage Boxun said, "Back then, Emperor Ying, the grandfather of the Spirit Emperor, once killed an ancient sage-level black dragon and placed its blood in a blood pool in his own bedchamber. Not only that, he also borrowed the essence blood of dozens of ancient sages to nurture it... hoping to give birth to a black dragon and tame it as a beast pet. But for some reason, it never succeeded. Later, when the emperor passed away, this palace was sealed, and no one entered again... If nothing unexpected happened, the blood should still be there!"

The dragon clan held great allure for any living being. If one could tame one as a beast pet, their overall combat strength would surely increase greatly.

The grandfather of Emperor Ling, Emperor Ying, who was contemporary with the ruthless man, was deeply obsessed. He spent untold efforts to find a black dragon with flood dragon bloodline, killed it, and then expended immense manpower and resources, hoping to use its blood to birth a new dragon sacred beast and tame it. Unfortunately, something went wrong, and he ultimately failed.

"These are just rumors. It's been a long time; whether it's true or not is unknown..."

Emperor Chenyong frowned.

This matter was recorded in the history of the Spirit Race, but it was tens of thousands of years ago. Whether it was true was debatable; how could they take it seriously?

"It should be true. Before coming to Mount Yuandang, I went to the Spirit Emperor's palace to seek Dragon Scale Grass. This kind of thing only grows in environments where dragons live. The Spirit Emperor's palace has no dragon experts, yet it grows very well, which should be related to it!"

Ancient Sage Boxun said affirmatively.

Dragon Scale Grass, a special medicinal herb nourished by dragon qi, had the effects of strengthening the body and enhancing bloodlines. It was especially effective for sacred beasts and was very precious.

Back then, he had searched many places without finding any, and eventually found it in the Spirit Emperor's palace, which made him suspicious.

"The place you're talking about is in the royal city, at the Spirit Emperor's?"

After listening to their conversation, Zhang Xuan also understood and looked over in confusion.

"Yes!" Ancient Sage Boxun nodded.

Zhang Xuan fell silent, frowning.

"Young master, the Spirit Emperor has suffered a great loss and will surely be on high alert. His palace is the most heavily guarded. Entering it is almost impossible..."

Seeing him inquire, knowing he was tempted, Emperor Chenyong quickly said.

"It is indeed very difficult, but that doesn't mean there's no chance..."

Zhang Xuan said, stroking his chin with his left hand.

"But..."

"How about this: you go find other ancient sages and see if you can win more over. I'll go to the royal city now. Rest assured, with my disguise skills, even if I can't find the blood pool you mentioned, escaping should be easy!"

Zhang Xuan said.

Right now, the most dangerous place was the Spirit Race royal city. With his current strength, it was best not to take the risk. But... if he could take the opportunity to activate the Dragon Bone Divine Spear, his combat power could directly reach the Blood Rebirth level... It was absolutely worth it!

"This..."

Hearing him mention his disguise skills, Emperor Chenyong said no more.

The disguise talisman granted by the Spirit God was extremely powerful. Coupled with the young master's stealth, almost no one knew he was still alive. Perhaps he could indeed succeed in one go.
