Covering the Sky: I am the White Tiger Immortal Elixir

Chapter 117 Xue Yueqing's Blood

The divine lake shone brightly, its brilliance so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

A mighty will seemed to open its eyes deep within the lake, gazing upon Nangong Zheng before it.

The inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor is divided into several stages, each corresponding to a kind of trial.

The reason Wang Teng was able to pass several trials was because his lineage was still a branch, and was looked down upon by the Wang family.

At that time, although Wang Teng had achieved some success, he still had to rely on others and walked on thin ice within his family.

He tackled each challenge with a do-or-die determination.

Because he knew that if he couldn't prove himself, he and his parents would never have a chance to get ahead.

The succession of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor does not require the most outstanding successor, but rather the one who can withstand failure the most and has the most resilient Dao heart.

Later, Wang Teng's lineage became the head of the Wang family, and Wang Teng was also known as the Northern Emperor, which took him further and further away from the original intention of inheriting the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

Therefore, Wang Teng's subsequent challenges became increasingly difficult, and in the end, he was unable to advance for several years.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor wants people who can keep getting back up, not cowards who can never get up again after falling down.

It was as if everything about Nangong Zheng was being watched over again, and before anyone knew how much time had passed, he had obtained the complete Chaotic Ancient Scripture.

Even more unconsciously, he took a step further than Wang Teng and was already able to see the Emperor's weapon of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

"President!" Nangong Zheng bowed to Bai Qi as he left the great lake, saying, "I will never forget your kindness!"

At his level, it's almost impossible to change his cultivation method, and there's no need to overturn his entire cultivation and start over.

However, the Chaotic Ancient Scripture is different from other scriptures.

The Chaotic Ancient Scripture can integrate its own essence into other scriptures.

This is a lesson that the Great Emperor of Chaos learned after suffering a series of crushing defeats.

No path is absolutely correct, and no law is immutable.

Failure is not the end, but the starting point for correcting the path. Only by constantly negating yourself can you continuously surpass yourself.

Therefore, the Chaotic Ancient Scripture incorporated the scriptures that Nangong Zheng practiced, so there were ten million copies of the Chaotic Ancient Scripture for every ten million people.

This is the most precious legacy left to future generations by the Great Emperor of Chaos: an attitude of striving forward even in the face of failure and setbacks.

Do not be complacent or cling to outdated ideas; always learn from failures and rebuild from ruins.

In that instant, Nangong Zheng's aura surged, and the tribulation of severing the Dao, which was originally supposed to take several months to overcome, was about to begin.

He cut off all his past hesitation and resentment, and faced his tribulation of severing the Dao with an indomitable spirit.

Although the things that the cultivators cut off will return in the future, Nangong Zheng has now been completely transformed.

"It's just a pity," Bai Qi shook his head, "Wang Teng took away everything before the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor."

"It doesn't matter. The most precious thing is the Chaotic Ancient Stone Axe. Nangong Zheng should be able to get it within ten years."

Perhaps only by being penniless can Nangong Zheng better fit the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

With the addition of the Chaotic Ancient Stone Axe, Bai Qi's plan to overwhelm the Stone Emperor became even more confident.

He asked Old Crane if he would like to join the Tiger Heart Society.

Old Crane shook his head and refused: "I can join the alliance after Dongzun establishes it. As for the Tiger Heart Society, let's forget about it."

Although he wasn't biased, he still felt a bit resentful watching Bai Qi kill Wang Teng.

The old crane in the original story was the same; it helped Ye Fan a lot, but it would rather die of old age than join Ye Fan's Heavenly Court.

Knowing the old crane's temperament, Bai Qi stopped trying to persuade it and let it go.

Since Nangong Zheng's tribulation would continue for a while, Bai Qi mounted the rainbow light and headed towards the Wang family's direction.

The Wang family was now a complete ruin, with not a single living person to be seen for tens of thousands of miles; they had all perished under the tribulation of the sacred weapon.

The Wang family's heirloom sacred weapon also shattered, because it was already a damaged weapon and could not possibly survive the great calamity of a sacred weapon.

He searched continuously around the ruins of the Wang family, trying to find the dragon cave where Wang Chong had fallen.

That dragon cave also holds many wonders.

It may contain dragon blood or a large amount of dragon marrow, which could enable Wang Chong to reach the fourth stage of dragon transformation at the age of nine.

This is a cultivation speed that even cultivators who have mastered the Emperor's Scripture cannot match; it's too strange and very abnormal.

There were quite a few cultivators around, all of whom were cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness who had come from the battlefield of the Golden Family.

No matter how strong the Golden Family was, it couldn't withstand the attack of so many cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness; they have already been wiped out.

Upon seeing Bai Qi, the cultivators from the surrounding wilderness all stopped what they were doing, clasped their hands in greeting, and said, "Eastern Lord!"

Bai Qi said, "The Wang family was blasted to pieces by the heavenly tribulation of the holy weapon. They left no fortune behind. You should go to the Golden Family instead."

However, one of the cultivators said, "Your Excellency is unaware of this, Princess Yan Ruyu has discovered a dragon cave nearby!"

"We all came here voluntarily to help Princess Yan dig the dragon cave!"

The cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness chattered amongst themselves, and Bai Qi quickly pieced together the truth.

It turned out that when Yan Ruyu was chasing the remnants of the Golden Family, she accidentally broke through a grassland and discovered a dragon cave filled with dragon energy.

This dragon cave has no seals, yet it possesses an astonishing aura that remains hidden, making it extremely peculiar.

Bai Qi flew in the direction the cultivators indicated and soon saw Wu Yangjue and his group of cultivators discussing something around an ancient cave.

"The Eastern Lord has arrived!"

"Master Dong! Princess Yan has already gone down!"

Bai Qi didn't stop moving; he leaped directly into the Dragon Cave.

Unexpectedly, the interior of this dragon cave is a maze of intersecting lines and crisscrossing spaces.

Dragon energy surged from various branch paths, billowing and rising, yet unable to dissipate, as if bound by some force.

"Over there." The Divine Weapon only sensed the direction of the Divine Heart.

Bai Qi arrived and found a shallow pool of water.

The liquid in the pool was dark red, thick like paste, and emitted a faint fragrance.

"There really is dragon blood?" Bai Qi looked surprised. "Where's Yan Ruyu?"

The Emperor's Soldier God only told him that he had to go further inside.

He said that this blood pool was formed by the fusion of the energy of dragon blood and dragon marrow, and was not considered precious.

"It may contain the blood that was struck down by the heavenly tribulation when the Snow Moon Pure Transformation True Dragon was struck down."

The Emperor Weapon Deity said, "Humans can absorb some of the blood in this blood pool, but not the blood of the Demon Emperor inside."

"Furthermore, the blood of the Demon Emperor possesses a spirit and spontaneously formed a seal, which only the demon race can discover the location of the imperial blood."

Bai Qi followed the guidance of the divine weapon and stepped forward, and the scenery before him suddenly opened up.

This is a small underground world, boundless in crimson, as if it had been soaked in endless blood.

The air was thick with dragon energy, almost solidified, and each breath felt like breathing out a small dragon.

In the center of the small world, a silver dragon swam, its entire body crystal clear and extremely dazzling.

This is just a drop of blood, yet it is heavier than a mountain and more dazzling than the stars.

Any living being can cultivate towards the form of a true dragon and transform into one.

In the Immortal Ancient Era, there were many beings that transformed into dragons, but in the end only the dragon clan of Ge Gu's lineage obtained the true name.

The dragon clan of the second-best lineage in the world is not Yinglong; its form is closer to the Western dragon of Earth's legends.

At this moment, beneath this drop of true dragon blood, Yan Ruyu sat cross-legged.

The Emperor's Heart beat right in front of her, helping her absorb this drop of the True Dragon Demon Emperor's blood.

"The Yan clan was born from the old blood of the Azure Emperor," Bai Qi said. "Now that she has obtained the blood of the true dragon, what kind of changes will occur?"

He was somewhat worried, fearing that Yan Ruyu's future path would be even more difficult.

The divine weapon reassured him: "For her, this might be the only way to break free from the shackles of her old blood."

"Xue Yueqing's blood contains his will to become a true dragon, which is extremely strong and powerful."

"Although Yan Ruyu is a descendant of the Azure Emperor, she was born from the old bloodline, and by her generation, the bloodline has become much diluted."

"Using this drop of the Demon Emperor's blood to shatter the shackles of bloodline may be Yan Ruyu's only chance in this life."

He said that even if Yan Ruyu has now used the Emperor's Heart and Heavenly Tribulation to refine her foundation, her future end will only be that of a Quasi-Emperor.

No matter how strong she is, she can never surpass the ancestor of the Yan clan, because the shackles of bloodline are there.

Now that Yan Ruyu has obtained the Demon Emperor's blood, if she can comprehend the will of Xue Yueqing's transformation into a dragon from it, she might be able to break free from this restriction.
