#173 - True Dragon Clan, Origin of the Imperial Mausoleum
"Because the Dragon Mausoleum is not only a place of death." Ling Xiao roughly calculated the location of the main tomb chamber and said, "This is also the birthplace of the True Dragon bloodline."
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards another tomb chamber, the one closest to the edge.
"Here?" Xu Chengxian and Ling Yunzi immediately followed upon seeing this, and said, "Really?"
The imperial mausoleum gave him a feeling of gloom and horror.
The bloodline of the True Dragon was born in such a place?
The thought that they were here to find dragon eggs made it a bit unbelievable.
Really?
Didn't they say that True Dragons and Phoenixes both bring auspiciousness, and the place where they are must be a blessed land, without any trace of filth or gloom?
This imperial mausoleum doesn't look like a blessed land at all!
Mist, poisonous gas, ugly and terrifying mausoleum beasts...
Could it be that the essence of the True Dragon is actually evil?
A bunch of bizarre and absurd conjectures uncontrollably emerged in Xu Chengxian's mind.
"The Dragon Clan's imperial mausoleum was originally not what we see today."
The one speaking was Ling Yunzi, who was walking side by side with him.
"The inheritance of the True Dragon bloodline, in addition to the union of parents and the interaction of auras, can also breed offspring."
However, as time passed, fewer and fewer True Dragons could give birth to offspring in the latter way.
Even the dragon eggs conceived by the former are constantly thinning out the inheritance of the True Dragon bloodline.
"Therefore, there are fewer and fewer pure-blooded True Dragons, and more and more mixed-blooded True Dragons."
According to the current division of generations in the desolate continent.
Millions of years ago was the ancient era.
One hundred thousand years ago was the ancient era.
Millions of years ago, a great change occurred in the prehistoric era, and the ancient demons withered.
One hundred thousand years ago, the chaotic energy transformed into spiritual energy, and the ancient demons disappeared completely.
The ancient great demons who inherited the bloodline of the ancient demons also gradually fell completely in the following one hundred thousand years.
The demon race has since retreated to the Northern Wilderness.
The True Dragon clan was the strongest combat power of the demon race at that time.
For the dragon clan, which relied on bloodline inheritance and possessed tyrannical strength and combat power, this was undoubtedly devastating bad news.
Therefore, the dragon clan had to think of other ways to ensure the continuation of the True Dragon bloodline.
Some of them took the Eastern Earth Human Realm, plundered the power of incense, walked the path of the gods, dredged the water veins of the human race, obtained the edict of heaven and earth, and controlled the power of the aquatic tribes of the world to ensure the continuation of the bloodline.
The dragon clan that remained in the Northern Wilderness Demon Realm tried to combine the two ways of continuing the bloodline.
"The reason for placing them in order instead of putting them all in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm is because some eggs have thin bloodlines and cannot withstand it."
"Can all the eggs be put in?"
"That's right." Ling Yunzi nodded. "Even the snake and python clan, or other clans that have blood ties with the Ancestral Dragon, can put their descendants into the imperial mausoleum if they are willing."
The True Dragon clan was admired by thousands of demon clans at that time.
That is because even if their race was in danger of extinction, they were willing to help other clans.
"The Dragon Clan values bloodlines because bloodline inheritance represents strength, not who is more noble than whom."
Strength is the root of everything.
In this regard, the True Dragon clan has always been very clear-headed and worthy of the identity of the imperial clan of the Demon Realm.
Unfortunately, it is still difficult to escape the rules of heaven and earth.
The Yinglong clan gradually disappeared seven or eighty thousand years ago due to the small number of clans.
Now, only three True Dragon clans are left,
All of them reside in the Eastern Earth Human Realm.
The Demon Realm no longer has the True Dragon bloodline.
To be precise, in the past five thousand years, no dragon clan has been born in the Demon Realm with more than 60% of the True Dragon bloodline inherited from birth.
"Jiao King."
"It is said that he swallowed the last dragon egg that inherited 70% of the True Dragon bloodline." A trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Ling Yunzi's mouth, and he said, "Therefore, he dare not come to the imperial mausoleum."
His sarcasm was not because the Jiao King swallowed the dragon egg.
But because the Jiao King swallowed the last dragon.
In ancient times, the Jiao Dragon had an ancient demon who was on par with the Ancestral Dragon. In the ancient times, they even refused to submit to the four True Dragon clans.
It is normal for them to devour and refine each other's bloodlines.
But the Jiao King is a Jiao Dragon born in the Demon Realm within the past ten thousand years.
In the past tens of thousands of years, the True Dragon clan has been supporting the sky of the Demon Realm. When they were on the verge of extinction, they still wanted to increase the background of the Demon Race and allow all the dragon, snake, and python lineages to enter the imperial mausoleum.
Even now, they can still be in the imperial mausoleum without being targeted by the defensive formations.
Therefore, the True Dragon has kindness to the entire Demon Race, especially the Jiao, Snake, and Python clans.
Kindness should be repaid.
At least, they should not repay kindness with hatred.
What the Jiao King did is shameful.
"There are many ways to become stronger, not just this one." Ling Xiao said.
Obviously, she had the same opinion as Ling Yunzi on this.
Xu Chengxian nodded.
His current physical body is also of the dragon and snake lineage. After listening to what Ling Yunzi said, the idea of tasting the dragon egg faded.
Then he immediately thought: "Could it be that the token that the Jiao King wants is a dragon egg with the True Dragon bloodline?"
Does he still want to swallow it?
"Yes." Ling Yunzi nodded.
"... Fuck." Xu Chengxian cursed.
"However, I suspect that the demon race that came in deliberately did not take the dragon egg to him." Ling Xiao said, "He has mastered the opening of the imperial mausoleum formation. The grand competition every ten years has been going on for thousands of years."
But there are only five or six demon generals who have really brought him dragon eggs.
"This emperor does not believe that there is no deliberate intention in this."
At this time, they had already arrived at the tomb chamber they were looking for.
Ling Xiao scanned the walls of the entire tomb chamber and observed it everywhere before turning to Xu Chengxian and saying: "Old ghost, your divine sense is stronger, investigate where there is a passage."
"Okay." Xu Chengxian nodded, and then while releasing his divine sense, he said again, "You haven't said yet, why did this imperial mausoleum become like this now."
"At that time, the will left behind by the dragon clan buried in the imperial mausoleum before their death was to protect their descendants." Ling Xiao said, "Plus the dragon eggs will absorb the aura of the True Dragon."
"Naturally, it will not breed so much resentment."
"Formations are also arranged in the imperial mausoleum, which can eliminate ominous aura."
"Later, as time passed, I don't know when it started. The demon race's imperial mausoleum became like this." Ling Yunzi said with emotion.
A decaying, resentful, and desolate look.
"Tsk, I don't know if there are still eggs in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm underground that can breed True Dragons." Xu Chengxian didn't like the current ending very much.
Thinking of the system's previous characters, he couldn't help but have a little more expectation for entering this secret realm.
But now, they first have to find the main tomb chamber here.
Only as the escort of the dragon egg can they be qualified to pass through the teleportation array.
So, he began to concentrate on exploring every part of this tomb chamber.
The tomb chamber is not big.
In a few breaths, he sensed it all over.
Then he sensed something behind a wall.
Just as he was about to transmit a voice to tell Ling Xiao, he heard—
[Ding Dong!]
[Host, please pay attention.]
[You have a new task!]
