The elder wearing a golden robe is nad Long Lincheng, soone the Dragon Clan has sent to the Zhang family many tis before, so both Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui are familiar with him.
As Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui bowed to Long Lincheng, Zhang Chengwen and the others hurriedly did the sa reverently, while Ye Chenfeng gave a casual bow.
Zhang Chengwen stood next to Ye Chenfeng, knowing that the reason he could go to the Dragon Clan’s location this ti was likely thanks to Ye Chenfeng. Therefore, he felt imnse gratitude towards this newly acknowledged ntor.
Ye Chenfeng’s brow furrowed slightly.
He previously visited the Dragon Clan’s ancestral land and discovered the source of the clan’s so-called curse.
Back then, Ye Chenfeng found chaotic death qi within the Dragon Clan’s ancestral land.
In the ancient Chaos Era, this chaotic death qi was extrely rare, nearly extinct.
Chaotic death qi is colorless and odorless, and even upon entering a cultivator’s body, it remains undetected. Ye Chenfeng was able to discover it because the Star Sky Stone replacing his heart could reveal the chaotic death qi.
After the chaotic death qi enters a cultivator’s body, it doesn’t cause imdiate death. The higher one’s talent and cultivation, the faster they die after being invaded by the chaotic death qi.
Even those without high talent or cultivation will speed up their deaths if they try to increase their strength after being invaded by chaotic death qi.
The Dragon Clan suffered from chaotic death qi, lacking the Star Sky Stone within their bodies, leaving them unable to determine why clan mbers were falling one after another.
As a result, the Dragon Clan, once hailed as the leader of all races, gradually declined and even withdrew from the world stage.
The one who initially placed chaotic death qi into the Dragon Clan’s ancestral land must have been the heavens themselves.
Back then, the Dragon Clan sought to defy heaven and live as long as it, which violated the Heavenly Dao.
Violating the Heavenly Dao.
How could the Heavenly Dao allow it?
Chaotic death qi is usually accompanied by chaotic life qi, which can neutralize chaotic death qi.
Ye Chenfeng previously discovered chaotic life qi within the Dragon Clan’s ancestral land and used Green Fla to condense it into crystals, collecting a thousand chaotic life qi crystals. These should be enough to restore the remaining Dragon Clan bloodline mbers.
The elder nad Long Lincheng standing before them also has chaotic death qi within him, but he must be using so Secret Technique to slow its spread while it gradually consus his life.
Everyone knows.
The Dragon Clan has long lifespans; even without cultivation, they can live for thousands to tens of thousands of years, not to ntion those who cultivate.
Long Lincheng glanced at Zhang Chengwen, Ye Chenfeng, and the others: "Are these five the ones your Zhang family is handing over for the Dragon Clan to nurture?"
"Have you prepared the things we ordered you to gather?"
Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui nodded quickly.
Long Lincheng said nothing more, raising his arm as Ye Chenfeng and Zhang Chengwen experienced a dizzying sensation.
They couldn’t open their eyes.
When they could finally open their eyes, they found themselves standing on the deck of a Spirit Boat.
That massive Spirit Boat was swiftly sailing through the sky.
Long Lincheng controlled the Spirit Boat’s flight.
Zhang Chengwen and the others examined the Spirit Boat’s surroundings, but it moved too fast for them to see the scenery clearly.
Zhang Chengwen cautiously asked Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui, "Ancestor, isn’t such fast Spirit Boat travel likely to get us noticed?"
Zhang Yingnian explained with a smile: "Rest assured, a light screen surrounds this Spirit Boat, making it invisible to outsiders. Only we on the Spirit Boat can see the outside; effectively, it is hidden in the world."
After hearing Zhang Yingnian’s explanation, Zhang Chengwen and the others relaxed, while Ye Chenfeng continued to glance at Long Lincheng intentionally or unintentionally.
Since boarding the Spirit Boat, Long Lincheng hadn’t spoken again.
Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui seed to understand Long Lincheng’s temperant and organized the rooms themselves.
With the Spirit Boat traveling at high speed, it would take at least ten days to reach the Dragon Clan’s location.
Ti flew.
Ten days vanished in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yingnian, Zhang Yingshui, Ye Chenfeng, and the others stood on the deck’s highest level.
Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui had been to the Dragon Clan’s location, nad Returning Dragon Valley, a rather peculiar place. After leaving, they couldn’t recall its approximate location.
Standing beside Ye Chenfeng, Zhang Chengwen spent those ten days learning alchemy from him, rapidly advancing and growing more respectful towards his ntor.
Noticing Ye Chenfeng deep in thought, Zhang Chengwen whispered, "Master, perhaps you don’t need to worry too much. It’s no big deal not having Dragon Clan blood in your body; once you’re with the Dragon Clan, you’ll certainly improve a lot. What’s a bit of Dragon Clan blood?"
Zhang Chengwen assud Ye Chenfeng was troubled over lacking Dragon Clan blood since boarding the Spirit Boat.
As the Spirit Boat swiftly traversed the sky.
Where the sky was once intact.
Suddenly.
Mist began to rise around them, dense and seemingly impossible to disperse.
In the sky, a massive rift opened, and the Spirit Boat plunged straight through.
The surrounding mist grew denser.
Zhang Yingnian said, "We must be entering the edge of Returning Dragon Valley."
Just as Zhang Yingnian finished speaking.
Golden dragon phantoms surged from the mist.
The air trembled fiercely, and the mist continuously scattered and gathered.
The golden dragon phantoms numbered nine, swirling around the Spirit Boat in jubilant flight, seemingly welcoming its return.
The spectacle was grand.
Leaving Zhang Chengwen and the others dumbfounded, even those who had visited before like Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui were astonished; they’d never witnessed such a scene!
Long Lincheng appeared on the deck undetected, his withered face shocked, his eyes no longer calm: "What’s happening? Nine Dragons Welcoming the Master? How could such a phenonon occur?"
His gaze swept over Ye Chenfeng and the others as he muttered, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Nine Dragons Welcoming the Master only erges when the Clan Leader appears."
