Chapter 135 Huanglong Daoist! The Next Dragon Emperor?
Chapter 135 Huanglong Daoist! The Next Dragon Emperor?
Just as Qinglong was sizing up Huanglong Daoist, Huanglong Daoist also looked at Qinglong.
Upon seeing it, Huang Long couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
The seemingly ordinary old man in blue robes before him naturally exuded a dragon-like aura that made his heart tremble.
That sense of oppression was like the pressure emanating from one's bloodline.
Who is this person?
"The Dragon King actually addressed him as the Grand Elder?"
Huanglong Daoist hesitated inwardly.
At this moment, Ao Guang quickly introduced:
"Huanglong, this is the ancestor of my Azure Dragon clan, the first elder of the dragon clan, the Azure Dragon Ancestor!"
Upon hearing Ao Guang's words, Huang Long was immediately terrified.
"What?"
"Azure... Azure Dragon Ancestor?"
He couldn't help but tremble.
As for the Azure Dragon, he was well aware of it; it was a powerful being among the ancient dragon race.
Apart from the progenitor of the dragon race, the Azure Dragon is the most powerful.
However, what puzzled Huanglong Daoist was...
The powerful beings of the ancient dragon race almost all perished in the war between the three races.
How come Qinglong is still alive?
Just as Huanglong was shocked and at a loss, Qinglong smiled slightly and said:
"You're quite good, kid. It's an honor for our dragon race to be able to become a disciple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable!"
Qinglong had previously learned this from Ao Guang and others.
One of the Three Pure Ones, Yuqing Yuanshi, is also a future sage.
The ancestor was naturally pleased that someone from the Dragon Clan could become a disciple of a sage.
Upon hearing this, Huanglong immediately bowed respectfully to Qinglong.
"Junior Huanglong pays respects to Ancestor Qinglong!"
Qinglong nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Niu Ben standing beside him, and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
"We two won't disturb you two fellow disciples' reminiscing any longer."
As he spoke, Qinglong gave Ao Guang a wink.
Then, without further ado, the two withdrew.
After Qinglong and Ao Guang left, only Niu Ben and Huanglong Daoist remained in the main hall.
"Senior Brother."
"I never expected to run into you here."
Huanglong Daoist said politely.
Back when the Three Pure Ones were still in Kunlun Mountain, they often met with Niu Ben.
However, afterwards, Taishang and Tongtian left Kunlun, one establishing a new Daoist temple on Shouyang Mountain, and the other establishing a new Daoist temple on Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea.
After that, Huang Long and other disciples of Yuanshi Sect saw Niu Ben less often.
To Huanglong's surprise, he had only come back to the Dragon Clan for a visit.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Niu Ben here.
"I was just passing by the East Sea Dragon Clan, so I thought I'd stop and sit for a while."
Niu Ben said calmly.
Huang Long nodded with a look of understanding.
Immediately afterwards, he was shocked to discover that Niu Ben's cultivation had actually broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
"Senior Brother."
"You...you broke through?"
Huang Long asked in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
It was clear that Niu Ben's cultivation level was already comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint.
"It's just a minor breakthrough."
Niu Ben gave a curt reply.
Upon hearing this, Huang Long was secretly shocked and admired his senior brother even more.
This cultivation speed is simply frightening!
Little did anyone know that Niu Ben's rapid breakthrough was entirely due to the Hunyuan Golden Elixir.
After consuming and refining the product, his cultivation level naturally broke through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
Next, Niu Ben and Huang Long continued their conversation.
The two shared their experiences and insights from their respective cultivation practices.
Niu Ben then inquired about the current situation of Kunlun Mountain.
Niu Ben was pleased to learn that his fellow disciples under Yuanshi were all diligently cultivating.
After their conversation, Niu Ben said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Huanglong."
"It's time for me to set off."
Upon hearing this, Huang Long was taken aback and quickly tried to persuade him to stay:
"Senior Brother."
"Shouldn't we stay in the Dragon Palace a little longer?"
Niu Ben smiled slightly, shook his head, and said:
"I have been in the Dragon Palace for some time now, and I have even been in seclusion here for thousands of years."
Upon hearing Niu Ben's words, Huang Long was secretly startled.
He never expected that Niu Ben had already been in seclusion here for so long before he returned to the Dragon Palace.
Knowing that Niu Ben must have his own things to deal with, she immediately stopped trying to persuade him to stay.
Upon learning that Niu Ben was leaving, Qinglong and Ao Guang also rushed over.
"My lord, shall I leave with you?"
Azure Dragon secretly transmitted his voice.
Niu Ben had rescued him from that sealed place, and he had submitted to Niu Ben, even swearing an oath with his Dao heart that he would never betray him!
Now that Niu Ben is leaving, Qinglong naturally wants to ask if he needs to accompany him.
"No need."
"You should stay with the dragon clan for now and reorganize the tribe."
Niu Ben responded.
Right now, he doesn't need Qinglong to do anything.
Moreover, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas has declined, and at this time, a capable person is needed to step forward and enable the Dragon Clan to grow stronger!
"Immortal Niu Ben, you are welcome to visit my Dragon Clan again sometime when you have the time!"
Ao Guang smiled and looked at Niu Ben as he spoke.
He treated Niu Ben with utmost respect.
Niu Ben was of extraordinary status, being the eldest disciple of Taishang Daoren, the head of the Three Pure Ones.
Besides, Niu Ben has done a great favor for the Dragon Clan. He previously gave them a Great Luo Golden Pill, and now he has rescued the Azure Dragon from that sealed land.
Qinglong had previously decreed that Niu Ben's status in the Dragon Clan should be the same as his.
"it is good."
Niu Ben nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to look at Huanglong Daoist.
"Senior Brother, until we meet again!"
Huang Long said with a smile.
Niu Ben hummed in agreement, then looked towards Qinglong:
"Elder Azure Dragon."
"My junior brother Huanglong has quite a bit of talent."
This statement, though concise, is profound in meaning.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Guang frowned, not quite understanding what Niu Ben meant.
Even Huang Long himself found it inexplicable.
Why did Niu Ben suddenly say such a thing before leaving?
Before the two could even react, Niu Benren had already transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.
"this……"
Seeing this, Ao Guang and Huang Long were still puzzled.
On the other hand, Qinglong understood Niu Ben's meaning.
The next moment, his eyes narrowed, and he looked directly at Huanglong and said:
"Huanglong!"
"From this day forward, you are the next Dragon Emperor of my dragon race!"
Having said that, Qinglong casually waved his hand, and a precious pearl immediately appeared in his hand.
This precious pearl is entirely golden, with what appears to be thousands of dragons coiling within it, emanating a chilling primordial aura.
"The Ancestral Dragon Pearl!"
Upon seeing the bead, Ao Guang couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
You should know that this Ancestral Dragon Pearl is a treasure left behind by the Ancestral Dragon, symbolizing the legitimate succession of the Dragon Emperor.
The reason why the dragon race is now divided is because it lacks the certification of this dragon ball.
Besides, what Ao Guang found even more incredible was...
Here at Azure Dragon's place, he actually appointed Yellow Dragon as the next Dragon Emperor.
"what?"
"I...the Dragon Emperor?"
At this moment, Huang Long was completely dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief.
I never imagined that I would become the next Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan!
"Could it be...could it be because of what Senior Brother just said?"
