"I have the perfect Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon bloodline, isn’t that pure enough?"
Brother Cheng wasn’t overly concerned about the test of the Dragon Sealing Pool.
But Cang Ling wasn’t as optimistic.
"Your bloodline is indeed a perfect Azure Dragon bloodline. With this bloodline to protect you, you should be able to survive in the Yellow Pool."
"But stopping at just the Yellow Pool, Xuanming definitely won’t let it go."
"Even ordinary Dragon Kings can reach the Cyan Pool."
"If you can’t reach there, all Dragon Race mbers will know there’s sothing wrong with you."
She is the ancestor of the Azure Dragon, and one of the builders of the Dragon Sealing Pool.
And she was quite familiar with Jiang Cheng’s situation, so her judgnt was naturally more accurate than anyone else’s.
"Why can’t I reach it? Am I lacking sothing?"
"Your Azure Dragon True Body is manifested due to your bloodline talent; you don’t actually have real Dragon Bones."
"The Demon Race primarily focuses on body refining, and the skeleton is extrely important."
"Besides, only Dragon Bones won’t be repelled by the Dragon Sealing Pool. Even the Tiger, Bear, and Ape races with their strong bones face a fatal outco when stepping inside."
Brother Cheng pondered carefully and indeed found it true.
He had only absorbed the Azure Dragon Essence Blood, not the Azure Dragon Bone.
Even if that Azure Dragon True Body had achieved a perfect appearance, the internal skeleton looked entirely like that of an Azure Dragon, but the source remained his human race’s body.
Not genuinely Dragon Bones.
Cang Ling continued, "The Dragon Sealing Pool becos more oppressive as you progress, with the Bone Blood Seed’s power growing more tyrannical, each layer being several tis more dangerous than the previous."
"Back then, the pool served the purpose of sealing titles."
"During the warti era, the Three Valleys Dragon Race coordinated battles, requiring unified command."
"They conferred titles to Three Valleys Dragon Race based on how far they stepped into the Dragon Sealing Pool, granting different warti positions."
"Cang Ji and Cangqiong both reached the Purple Pool back then."
Brother Cheng curiously asked, "Can a Quasi-Emperor only reach there? Who can step into the final Black Pool, the three Dragon Emperors?"
"Heh..."
The Azure Dragon Empress laughed.
"Do you think we’re what?"
"The Dragon Sealing Pool is used for conferring titles on Dragon Race generals and ministers; we’re already Dragon Emperors, no need for conferring!"
Turns out you three Dragon Emperors don’t have to go down.
No wonder when the Cyan Dragon Emperor ntioned the Dragon Sealing Pool earlier, all Dragon Race mbers felt it was an insult to the Dragon Emperors.
Indeed, thinking about it, being an Emperor, participating in the conferring of generals and ministers would be degrading one’s status, wouldn’t it?
"Rest assured, I’ll help you refuse him."
"Matters of Azure Dragon Valley are beyond his ddling."
Although Cang Ling was just a lingering thought, she remained majestic and protective of him.
However, Brother Cheng expressed that it wasn’t necessary.
"No, no, no, I want to try."
The least I’m afraid of is death.
Maybe I might even get so benefits from resurrection.
Status or not, benefits are the most practical."
The Azure Dragon Empress fell silent for a mont, then burst into a silver bell-like laughter again.
"Little brother, you don’t have to risk your life just to show off in front of sister!"
"Even if you don’t go, it won’t lower your impression score in sister’s mind."
Brother Cheng was speechless.
Sister, seems you’re quite the self-assured King Bi!
He echoed, "Yeah, yeah, risking it all for beauty and affection..."
"Oh, do you think I’m moved?"
"I bet you’re secretly wiping tears."
"Haha! You’re truly adorable, sister is liking you more and more, what to do?"
"Better seize the chance; brother is quite in demand!"
"Oh really, then it depends on your future performance. Sister is quite hard to conquer..."
Brother Cheng knew, that’s just her personality.
Ever-changing; taking her words entirely seriously would lead to a miserable end.
The two’s conversation always veered into a strange direction.
Unsure what other Dragon Race folks would think hearing this exchange.
Above, the Cyan Dragon Emperor was growing impatient.
"What, you don’t dare? Afraid of revealing your true form?"
"I dare!"
Brother Cheng raised a hand.
"I’m a pure Azure Dragon Race; what do I have to fear?"
The Azure Dragon Empress, hidden in the dark, didn’t advise him to refuse this ti, seemingly understanding sothing.
"Good!"
The Cyan Dragon Emperor above imdiately sealed the deal.
"Cang Ling, you heard it too, he agreed!"
"As a Dragon Emperor, one’s words are binding!"
"Your opposition is no longer useful."
Cang Ling sighed softly, "Well, just do what you wish..."
Seeing the Cyan Dragon Emperor preparing for the Dragon Sealing Pool, Brother Cheng quickly called out to him.
"Wait a mont!"
"What, are you, as a Dragon Emperor, going to back down?"
"Not at all, but what if I really am a genuine Azure Dragon Race?"
Brother Cheng slowly flew in front of him, staring directly into this Dragon Emperor’s eyes, undaunted.
"If I truly am Azure Dragon Race, then my Dragon Emperor status wouldn’t have any problem!"
"Letting a Dragon Emperor lower himself into the Dragon Sealing Pool, can you afford the consequences?"
Consequences?
What consequences?
The Cyan Dragon Emperor hadn’t thought about this at all.
He had foreseen Jiang Cheng wasn’t Dragon Race by divination, and now was even more certain without Dragon Bones upon seeing him.
So he hadn’t considered any apology or compensation.
As Brother Cheng’s supportive sister, Cang Ling would naturally back him when needed.
Upon hearing, she imdiately chid in, "Indeed, Xuanming, you should know what it implies to let a Dragon Emperor enter the Dragon Sealing Pool!"
Her voice suddenly grew strident, "That is an insult to our entire Azure Dragon Race!"
"Since you proposed using the Dragon Sealing Pool, you must be prepared to face the consequences of any mistake!"
Alongside her, Cang Ji, Cangqiong, Yikong, and other Azure Dragon Valley higher-ups quickly flew over to support.
"Right, what will you say if you ss up?"
"Daring to insult Azure Dragon Race’s Great Emperor, how can you not pay any price?"
"Don’t think this matter will just pass easily!"
Cyan Dragon Emperor wasn’t angered; instead, he shook his head and chuckled.
He was absolutely certain he wasn’t wrong.
Jiang Cheng couldn’t possibly pass the test.
So this should be a deliberate bluff against him.
Just like so folks with poor cards who raise the stakes to intimidate others from gambling.
How could he fall for it?
So, he watched Jiang Cheng with interest.
"What if you truly aren’t Dragon Race and don’t pass the test?"
Brother Cheng instantly replied without hesitation, "Dispose of as you wish; I’ll either die in the Dragon Sealing Pool or let you kill once after coming out."
Cyan Dragon Emperor shook his head, "That’s not enough!"
"Oh! You have quite the appetite, what more do you want?"
"All Human Race mbers in Azure Dragon Valley must be expelled; not a single one can remain in my Dragon Race territory!"
Upon hearing this, everyone from Feixian Sect, including Xiao Kun, Jiyun, and others, frowned deeply.
This Cyan Dragon Emperor’s aversion to humans was deeply rooted indeed.
Brother Cheng nodded, resolutely declaring, "Alright!"
Then he countered, "What if I pass the test?"
"I know you possess the Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon bloodline; even as humans, you can reach the Yellow Pool at least."
The Cyan Dragon Emperor slowly articulated, "Since you claim to be a Dragon Emperor, you must at least reach the Blue Pool to pass the test; is that unreasonable?"
