Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 49 Ancestral Mystic Realm

Walking on Purple Thorn Island, looking at the palaces of various styles in the distance, one can also see powerful beings from all races in the universe, billions of races, mysterious and different forms and essences of life living everywhere, each with a powerful aura, some of which are special life forms that Yan Yong knows.

As they walked, they listened to the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan introduce the various aspects of the Ancestral God Sect, occasionally responding to their comments. Soon, they arrived at the foot of a hill near a lake.

"Build your palace here. Remember, each palace will occupy a maximum of one kilometer in length and width. Even those enormous demons or star beasts will have to shrink their bodies to live in it. No one will have any special privileges."

Yan Yong was relieved that it was the real human being who came, not the avatar of the Heavenly Dragon. If it had been the avatar of the Heavenly Dragon, it would have had to be shrunk many times over to fit inside.

"Furthermore, you can leave tokens in your palaces, and then you can freely travel to and from the Divine Kingdom." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan emphasized again, "Remember, your soul servants do not have the Beast God Inheritance Token and are not inheritors of my Ancestral God Sect. They cannot be brought out, otherwise they will be annihilated by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake in an instant. However, your palaces are your territory, and your servants can move freely within them."

"Understood," Yan Yong nodded.

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan continued to lead Yan Yong forward, and after a short while they arrived at the highest mountain range on the entire Zijing Island. Unlike other mountains where palaces were clustered together, even though this mountain range was the highest and largest, there was only one magnificent palace.

This palace is the largest and most majestic on the entire Bauhinia Island, stretching for thousands of kilometers and dominating the entire island.

"This palace is the symbol of the entire Bauhinia Island, and it is the residence of the island's lord," the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said with reverence. "Let's go there."

We continued our journey up the mountain range.

"Look up," the Venerable of the Fei Cang clan pointed to the sky.

Yan Yong looked up and followed the direction the Venerable Fei Cang pointed.

"How magnificent—no wonder it's the Ancestral God Sect, they really put on a grand show."

Looking up, one can see a crack in the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Through this crack, one can see a dazzlingly large palace deep within the core of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Around the palace that radiates endless light, eight slightly smaller palaces float.

"That is the true core of my Ancestral God Sect." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said with envy, "That largest palace is the supreme existence of the Ancestral God Sect, the place where the Ancestral Gods reside. The Ancestral God Sect has three powerful Ancestral Gods, and usually one of them is the one who sits in the core."

"Surrounding the Ancestral God Palace is the Eight Directions Beast God Palace, the residence of eight beast gods. The more than ten palaces surrounding the Eight Directions Beast God Palace are the Guardian Beast God Palaces, and each Guardian Beast God is a great cosmic lord."

"The Temple of the Guardian Beast God is located on the outer perimeter, which contains 72 continents. Of course, from our perspective, we can only see 63 continents... those are the continents where the 72 Divine Generals reside, known as the Divine General Continents. It is said that each Divine General Continent is no less impressive than Purple Thorn Island."

"The outermost dense cluster of stars comprises 3000 star worlds, and each star world... is also the residence of a divine messenger."

"The Ancestral God Palace, the Eight Directions Beast God Temple, the Guardian Beast God Temple, the 72 Divine General Continent, and the 3000 Divine Envoy World—this is the core of the Ancestral God Sect."

"The lord of this Purple Thorn Island is a guardian beast god." As they approached the palace of the Purple Thorn Island lord, the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan once again steered the conversation back to the Purple Thorn Island lord.

In front of the island's main palace is a huge platform plaza, which is a cross-section of a mountain peak that has been completely cut off.

Three fountains stand in the perfectly sculpted plaza, their water seemingly appearing out of nowhere and gushing endlessly, yet the plaza floor remains completely dry—a truly magnificent sight.

Following the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan, we arrived in front of the fountain and looked at the gate of the island lord's palace.

"You may enter now. My mission is over." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said with a smile. "I hope you can live a little longer on Zijing Island. This is the first time I've seen a young person traveling by 'dog.' Don't die too soon. There are fewer and fewer interesting people in this universe."

"Thank you, Venerable One. I've always been quite good at protecting myself." Yan Yong said with a smile, thanking Venerable Fei Cang for his guidance along the way.

"Hahaha." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan also laughed, and then transformed into a stream of light along the original path, disappearing into the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

Composing himself, Yan Yong strode toward the palace gate.

Entering the front hall, one arrives at a spacious courtyard, where a human man sits cross-legged.

……

An invisible pressure descended upon the majestic Ancestral God Palace, causing the three Ancestral Gods, who had been sitting in meditation, to hurriedly and respectfully stand up.

"The great primordial will," the three ancestral gods bowed in unison.

"The life beloved by the primordial universe has come to the Ancestral God Cult; you must nurture him well." This was the message left behind by the mysterious, divine voice.

"I wonder if this life has any special characteristics?" the young ancestral god hurriedly inquired.

"Human, he is the only one on this journey." After saying this, the invisible pressure disappeared without a trace, and the Ancestral God Palace returned to peace.

"I wonder what is so special about the person favored by the primordial universe as stated by the original will that would cause the original will to specifically instruct us to nurture them well. Even a special life form that defies the heavens could not possibly receive such treatment," the two-faced ancestral god said in bewilderment.

"This is not something we should be concerned about. Since it is a matter entrusted by the original will, we just need to do our best to handle it well. In any case, we are just inheritors. Just give us more treasures and more opportunities to inherit the legacy," the old ancestral god said.

"That's true. Let's go see the inheritor first. However, the inheritor is human. If we rashly go to see him, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from the other three peak races. In that case, not only will we not bring him any benefits, but we will also cause him a lot of trouble," the Two-Faced Ancestral God agreed.

"Then let him go to Zijing Island to receive the inheritance like the other inheritors. Don't rush to contact him. Wait for a suitable opportunity to show goodwill," the Two-Faced Ancestral God concluded.

"That makes sense, let's do it that way, there's plenty of time anyway." The other two Ancestral Gods echoed, and then continued to sit and meditate, but passed the message to the Lord of Purple Thorn Island.

……

"Inheritor, please wait a moment. I have already sent a message to the Beast God. You may wait here for the Beast God to receive you," the human venerable said with a smile.

"Hmm." Looking at this servant of the Beast God, Yan Yong felt a pang of sorrow for him. A dignified Universe Venerable had been reduced to someone else's watchdog.

Before long, an incomparably domineering aura rose from the depths of the palace and quickly enveloped the entire palace.

"Greetings, Guardian Beast God." Yan Yong immediately stood up and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Come in." A slightly high-pitched but penetrating voice came from the main hall.

Yan Yong immediately and obediently entered the main hall.

Upon entering the main hall, one sees a figure coiled on the high throne. It is a strange life form resembling a dragon, but with wings, its head raised as it looks down.

He was wearing a strange, close-fitting suit of armor, with flames swirling around it.

Simply lying cross-legged, without any extra movements, made one feel as if they were immersed in an endless world of flames. The incomparably blazing sea of ​​fire filled the entire space-time, and the dragon life form was the controller of this sea of ​​fire. With just a thought, it could overturn the sea of ​​fire and devour Yan Yong.

"Is this the higher-level 'Fire and Void Fusion Law'?" Feeling the aura similar to his own Fire Sea Secret Technique, Yan Yong felt like he had hit the jackpot. He had just gotten a free opportunity to inherit the technique.

"Interesting lad, you possess the aura of an immortal king, yet you are merely a minor 'realm lord.'" A slightly shrill, high-pitched voice emanated from the dragon's head. "From this moment on, you are the inheritor of Purple Thorn Island. First, I grant you the authority to enter the 'World of Glory.'" As soon as the words fell, an object resembling a quantum computer flew toward Yan Yong.

"This is a sensor for the virtual world. The World of Glory... is a key virtual world of my Ancestral God Cult. It's similar to your human virtual universe, although much smaller in scale. The main purpose of the World of Glory for you is to be used within this Ancestral God Mystic Realm. You will find out once you log in."

He took the receiver and waited for the other party's next move, while simultaneously sensing the fire-space fusion law spreading around the other party.

"I also grant you access to the 'Land of Inheritance,' the 'Land of Treasure,' and the 'Land of Secrets,'" said the Guardian Beast God. "Did you see the three water curtains outside the palace?"

"Mmm." Yan Yong nodded and continued to comprehend the law of fire and space fusion.

"That's a teleportation channel. Of course, I must grant you permission to enter, otherwise you won't be able to," said the Guardian Beast God. "The water curtain on the left leads to the Land of Inheritance. The water curtain in the middle leads to the Land of Treasures, and the water curtain on the right leads to the Secret Realm."
