Chapter 1502 (Raw 1482): The Dragon Race’s Past

Xiao Chen calmed himself and revealed a bitter smile. What was that, a show of strength?

“Xiao Chen, this is Big Brother Dragon, the core Item Spirit of the Azure Dragon Palace. Back then, the Azure Emperor passed his test and became the master of the Azure Dragon Palace,” the black-clad old man introduced.

The huge Azure Dragon’s figure trembled and turned into a Dragon Horse with extraordinary might. Then, it said, “To be more precise, Xiao Teng only passed my test back then and did not obtain the inheritance. Strictly speaking, he was not the master of the Azure Dragon Palace.”

Test? Inheritance?

Xiao Chen was now confused, not understanding anything. His bafflement was written all over his face.

The azure Dragon Horse swung its body around and said to Xiao Chen, “Come with me.”

Xiao Chen obeyed, walking over and following the other party.

At the same time, Xiao Chen sized up the second floor of the Azure Dragon Palace. It was much larger than the first floor, and the corridors were more complicated. There were even some places that were pitch-black; he could not figure out where they led.

“Since you are here, let me tell you more about the Azure Dragon Palace’s origins, so that you can understand some things,” said the Dragon Horse as it led the way.

Xiao Chen nodded and said respectfully, “Senior, please speak.”

He could feel the strength of this Dragon Horse, as well as an ancient aura that was the result of the accumulation of time on the other party’s body.

Xiao Chen did not dare be rude and showed a sincere attitude. As he walked here, there was a sense of homecoming and acknowledging his ancestors.

He did not know whether this was a misperception or not, but he found it extremely strange. This made him even more humble.

“The existence of the Dragon Race stretches far back in history. It is one of the universe’s Great Desolate Hundred Races. Despite the destruction of countless epochs, it still exists until now.”

Xiao Chen understood what epochs were. Right now, it was the Martial Epoch. Before that was the Immortal Epoch. There were definitely more epochs before the Immortal Epoch. The epochs were destroyed and created, moving in an endless cycle.

However, what were the Great Desolate Hundred Races? Xiao Chen could not understand.

After the Dragon Horse heard Xiao Chen’s question, it muttered, “How could you not even know that? Well, this is the abandoned land, after all. It is like a cage, sealed incredibly tightly.

“I’ll tell you more about it. When the universe first began, it was filled with primal chaos. There was no sky, land, time, or logic in the primal chaos. However, it was not void of life.

“The lifeforms born in the primal chaos were known as Primal Chaos God Demons. The God Demons killed each other continuously until the primal chaos broke. That eon was called the Mythological Eon.

“After the primal chaos broke, the Mythological Eon came to an end and thus began the Great Desolate Eon. During the Great Desolate Eon, ten thousand races fought each other. Among these, one hundred races were the strongest. My Dragon Race was one of them.

“After the end of the Great Desolate Eon, the universe entered the Epoch Eon, an endless cycle of epochs. It was said that after three thousand cycles, the Epoch Eon would come to an end, and the universe would enter a new eon.”

When Xiao Chen heard this explanation that he had never heard of before—something that seemed like heavenly secrets—he was utterly shocked.

The azure-colored Dragon Horse continued, “There is no need for you to care about that. What I want to say is that the pureblood Dragon Race is already extinct. However, that is not strange. As the epochs cycled, nearly all the various purebloods of the Great Desolate Hundred Races went extinct.

“Right now, the so-called Dragon Race is made up of the existences that carry the Dragon Race bloodline, continuing the Dragon Race’s history.

“The Dragon Race is just a general designation. There are various rankings within the Dragon Race. The strongest of which is the supreme three great Ancestor Dragons. Under the Ancestor Dragons are the Seven Colored Divine Dragons. Under the Divine Dragons are the coiling dragons, the sky dragons, the flood dragons, the lightning dragons, and other True Dragons. As for those under True Dragons, there is no need to mention them. Their Dragon Race bloodline is already too thin to allow them to become a True Dragon; hence, they can only be called false dragons.”

Xiao Chen’s comprehension ability was very startling. Although the azure Dragon Horse mentioned many complicated things, he managed to understand all of them after thinking for a while.

The Dragon Race was ranked as such: Ancestor Dragon, Divine Dragon, True Dragon, and false dragon. However, Xiao Chen did not know which one his Azure Dragon bloodline belonged to.

“You possess the Azure Dragon bloodline, one of the Seven Colored Divine Dragons. The Ancestor Dragons’ bloodline vanished several epochs ago. Now, the Divine Dragons’ bloodlines are the strongest bloodlines of the Dragon Race. You must understand how noble your identity is: you are a noble among dragons. In the future, when you leave the abandoned land, you must not fail the prestige of my Azure Dragon bloodline.”

The azure Dragon Horse turned its head back and stared at Xiao Chen as it gave that instruction. It looked extremely grave, making him feel somewhat embarrassed.

Xiao Chen said softly, “Senior, I don’t think I have ever felt what was so special about my body’s bloodline.”

“That is normal, as the Azure Dragon Martial Spirit in your body has not merged into your blood yet. Since you have passed the test, I will naturally help you refine the Azure Dragon Martial Spirit. At that time, you will become a demonic genius possessing the bloodline of one of the Great Desolate Hundred Races.”

The Dragon Horse was not surprised. As it spoke, it continued walking forward. Stone pillars with dragon motifs flanked the path. Xiao Chen felt that the destination was at hand.

Along the way, the two never stopped talking. Of course, most of the time, it was the Dragon Horse speaking and Xiao Chen seriously listening.

Occasionally, Xiao Chen raised some doubts, and the Dragon Horse would explain in detail, helping him reach a thorough understanding.

It seemed that the Dragon Horse’s temper was not as bad as the black-clad old man claimed.

“The Azure Dragon Palace is the inheritance Holy Palace of my Azure Dragon bloodline. The Azure Dragon bloodline has produced more than a hundred Dragon Emperors. The Dragon Emperor is the emperor of the Divine Dragons, able to manage the life and death of the Dragon Race. You have only passed the test, just like the Azure Emperor. You need to obtain a Dragon Emperor’s inheritance before you can become the true master of the Azure Dragon Palace.”

As the two—one human and one horse—spoke, they arrived at a large hall.

The hall was clean and elegant. However, despite such a serene atmosphere, the might of the Dragon Race lingered everywhere.

Those not of the Dragon Race would experience a different effect entirely, unable to be as calm as Xiao Chen.

After arriving at the large hall, the Dragon Horse stopped. Xiao Chen knew that the test would begin soon.

Along the way, it had been mostly the Dragon Horse speaking and Xiao Chen listening. Xiao Chen would only say something if he had doubts. Everything the Dragon Horse mentioned was related to the origin of the Azure Dragon Palace and the Dragon Race.

However, Xiao Chen never asked the true question in his heart.

He wondered whether he would pass the test or not. If he did not pass it, then he would never have the chance to ask anymore.

Xiao Chen calmed himself and decided to ask before taking the test. After making up his mind, he said, “Senior, this junior has a question. I hope that Senior will be honest with me.”

The Dragon Horse was in no hurry. It looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Speak.”

Xiao Chen had rehearsed in his mind what he wanted to ask several times already. “Senior, I would like to know if it is possible for a major character from outside the abandoned land to forcibly summon a person of the Kunlun Realm over.”

“They can, but they need to do so through a ceremony. Furthermore, the conditions are extremely demanding. The ceremony also exhausts a lot of effort and resources; it is something arduous. It is difficult for a person to leave this abandoned land. However, it is even harder for outsiders to enter.”

Without any hesitation whatsoever, the Dragon Horse continued, “Hence, such things rarely happen. In fact, it almost never happens. However, such a ceremony does exist.”

Xiao Chen calmed down now that the matter that had been worrying him for so long was resolved. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, “If the person being summoned possesses the White Dragon bloodline, how possible would it be?”

The core Item Spirit of the Azure Dragon Palace, who had previously answered quickly, hesitated for a moment when it heard this question, something that rarely happened.

“Senior, what’s wrong?” Xiao Chen asked, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

A strange, imperceptible light flashed in the Dragon Horse’s eyes as it answered, “The White Dragon is also one of the Seven Colored Divine Dragons. If what you said is true, then given the strength of the White Dragon bloodline and assuming unlimited resources, success is guaranteed.”

Xiao Chen did not notice the strange light in the Dragon Horse’s eyes. He smiled joyfully and said, “Many thanks, Senior. Before I take the test, can Senior let me see the scene outside the Azure Dragon Palace?”

The Dragon Horse immediately answered, “I cannot do that. If we want to see the situation outside, I will have to open the barrier of the Azure Dragon Palace. That would risk outsiders invading.”

Xiao Chen was somewhat disappointed to hear that. Then, he said, “Very well. Senior, please let me take the test.”

The Dragon Horse turned around and looked in a particular direction. “Head towards that road of trials. Keep walking forward. If you can walk to the end, you will have passed the test.”

“Many thanks.”

After performing a cupped-fist salute in gratitude, Xiao Chen hastened toward the road of trials. Whether he succeeded or not, he wanted to get out quickly.

After Xiao Chen’s figure disappeared, the black-clad old man revealed himself. “Big Brother Dragon, why did you lie to him? Given your abilities, can’t you show him the scene outside?”

“And what if he saw it? Could it be that I should let him give up on the trials and send himself to death? He is the last of my Azure Dragon bloodline. I cannot let that happen. I think quite highly of him, so you had best not tell him too much about Xiao Teng and cause trouble for him.”

Hearing the Dragon Horse mention Xiao Teng, the black-clad old man revealed a somewhat sad expression as he sighed.
