Chapter 185 - 186: The Secret of the Ancestral Dragon



The Sword Spirit Dragon slowed down its pace.

It slowed to a drift, no different from a light boat floating along the river.

Fortunately, they had already caught sight of the Male Holy Candle Dragon. To Zhu Minglang’s surprise, it seemed injured. Its majestic purple shimmering scales were cracked in many places, and even a dragon tooth appeared to have broken off. When it opened its mouth, the traces of blood between its teeth were visible.

The Male Holy Candle Dragon glanced at Zhu Minglang and noticed him and the Sword Spirit Dragon.

The Little Holy Candle Dragon was by its side, seemingly having informed the Male Holy Candle Dragon that the cunning human had stolen the Holy Fruit from the Cloud Platform Mother Tree.

The Male Holy Candle Dragon glared with anger, but then it took a deep look into the depths of the dark clouds before choosing to head back home.

The injury wasn’t severe, just painful to look at; the Male Holy Candle Dragon was clearly not willing to give up.

Zhu Minglang was somewhat surprised and kept his gaze on the hazy dark clouds.

Before long, Nan Lingsha emerged from them, accompanied by a Chi Dragon.

This Chi Dragon had a slender and graceful figure, its body smooth like jade, and devoid of scales.

The Chi Dragon had neither horns nor claws, and its tail was thin and soft, covered with a fine layer of silver-grey velvet.

Its cheeks were delicate like a beautiful woman, and its dragon pupils were narrow like those of a fox. Even quietly following beside Nan Lingsha, it radiated a sense of beauty and delicacy, as well as a hint of alluring charm.

Dragons also have their own temperaments.

Noble, aloof, free-spirited, lively, mighty, fierce, ferocious, strange…

But it was Zhu Minglang’s first encounter with a dragon that exuded an alluring demeanor.

“The Male Holy Candle Dragon is even stronger than the Female Saint Candle Dragon,” Zhu Minglang observed as he looked at Nan Lingsha and the Chi Dragon beside her.

“Did you get the Holy Fruit?” Nan Lingsha asked.

“Of course. Four in total, two for each of us,” Zhu Minglang replied with a smile, already dividing the spoils.

“I only need one. You can give the rest to Bai Qi as snacks,” Nan Lingsha said as she took only one Holy Fruit and handed it to the Chi Dragon beside her.

The Chi Dragon opened its mouth with elegance, chewing slowly and savoring the taste, completely different from creatures like the Lei Cang Violent Dragon.

On their way back, other dragons gradually came to greet them.

The three Holy Candle Dragons surely knew they were accomplices. If they had stayed at the Cloud Platform Mother Tree, they could have protected the fruits together. By splitting up and losing the fruits to others, a fight to the death would risk losing the remaining three Holy Fruits and their nesting rights in the Cloud Platform Mother Tree.

Clearly, they would not pursue any further.

“Chilodon?” Mr. Jinli immediately recognized the silver-grey Chi Dragon beside Nan Lingsha.

Zhu Minglang immediately perked up his ears, intending to learn about the origins of this Chilodon.

“Mr. Jinli, I just happen to have a few questions I’d like to ask you,” Zhu Minglang said, slowing down his pace as he saw Nan Lingsha walking ahead.

“Chilodon is the daughter of the Ancestral Dragon, a Chi Dragon of the most orthodox bloodline. That’s what we call Chilodon. This young lady is no simple character,” Mr. Jinli whispered to Zhu Minglang.

“Descendant of the Ancestral Dragon?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Aberrant Beasts also trace back to the era of the Ancestral Dragon. You said before that you had been to the Li Chuan Continent, to the Ancestral Dragon City where the city walls were transformed from the skeletons of Ancestral Dragons. I thought Ancestral Dragon City was just a name without substance, but it turns out there really are relics of the Ancestral Dragon there,” Mr. Jinli said.

“My father also mentioned that there are Ancient Ruins there, and it seems that the revered masters of some major powers are aware of this as well. That’s why they are so eager to obtain the right to rule over the Ancestral Dragon City-State,” Zhu Minglang said.

“She has never shown this before; she must be wary of the people from the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent,” Mr. Jinli said.

“Does Mr. Jinli know about the term ‘Divine Consort’?” Zhu Minglang suddenly thought of this and asked as he watched Nan Lingsha’s retreating figure.

“During the barbaric era, when human tribes were weak and struggled to survive, they worshiped the Ancestral Dragons. There was a woman who worshiped the Ancestral Dragon and was the first to discover that Ancestral Dragons could fuse with human souls. It is because of her discovery that various Dragon Shepherd Ancestors were subsequently born, and that woman came to be known as the Divine Consort,” Mr. Jinli explained.

“Then…” Zhu Minglang showed a look of surprise.

“Could she be a descendant of the Divine Consort? Descendants of the Ancestral Dragon are known as Ancestral Dragons, which are very difficult to tame, especially the pure-blooded Ancestral Dragons. Almost no Dragon Shepherd can control them, aside from the woman known as the Divine Consort. Her Chilodon definitely has the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline,” Mr. Jinli continued.

Zhu Minglang fell into deep thought.

He remembered the time when the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent just fell, how the Li Family’s Old Grandmother was eager for Nan Lingsha to marry him.

The Old Grandmother surely knew about his affair with Li Yunzi.

Even for the Twin Flower Sisters, it was absurd for the younger sister to marry in place of the elder sister.

Nan Lingsha vehemently refused, and eventually, the Old Grandmother still allowed her to join his Dragon Shepherd Team, as if she didn’t want Nan Lingsha to stay in the Ancestral Dragon City-State at all.

“Nan Lingsha.” Zhu Minglang hastily approached and called out to her.

Nan Lingsha did not turn around immediately; she stopped in her tracks, her clear captivating eyes carried an unknown discontent as she gazed at Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang scratched his head.

Had he offended her?

Why such an expression?

“Have you ever considered that the Old Grandmother had you follow me to actually protect you?” Zhu Minglang said.

“I don’t understand what you mean,” Nan Lingsha replied.

“You are what’s called ‘Ancient Relics’ because you have the Ancestral Dragon with you,” Zhu Minglang said seriously.

Nan Lingsha glanced at the Chilodon, and then back at Zhu Minglang.

If the continents and lands of this world were fragmented and floating, and joined together during an unknown period.

What continent was the Li Chuan Continent adjacent to before it was encompassed by the Void Sea?

Is it possible that Li Chuan Continent, like Wutu, had fallen from a larger world and drifted like a floating island in the vast cosmos?

Therefore, Li Chuan Continent might be even older than the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

This could also explain why there are Ancient Ruins on the Li Chuan Continent.

Ancestral Dragon City…

It’s not just a name.

It might once have been a capital that was even more prosperous and flourishing than the current Supreme Court Empire.

Merely because of isolation, separation from the mainland, or the enclosure of the Void Sea, the entire Li Chuan Continent gradually declined, becoming far less prominent than the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

“The Old Grandmother only instructed me not to call the dragon lightly,” Nan Lingsha said.

“Without having seen other continents, how would she know the Ancestral Dragon is special? It seems the Old Grandmother has many things she hasn’t told us,” Zhu Minglang remarked.

“Do you think the Old Grandmother, like Dean Duan, comes from the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent?” Nan Lingsha asked.

“Not necessarily from the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent…” Zhu Minglang replied.
