Chapter 5863: The Mysterious Dragon Pillar

The temple floated in the air, surrounded by ethereal energy. From here, one could overlook the entire boundary of the Undying Demon Forest.

Gazing at the sky, one could see a towering Dark Willow extending beyond the azure sky, its branches reaching into the starry sea.

When Dragon Dust arrived here, he couldn't help but be astonished by the scene. Such a breathtaking spectacle, Dragon Dust had only witnessed once before.

It was when he viewed the entire universe from the perspective of the Chaos Dragon Emperor. However, in the sky, starlight was sparse, as one's gaze couldn't reach far. Looking into those dark spaces felt like they could devour one's soul.

In the past, Dragon Dust didn't feel much, but now, at this level, facing those dark spaces, he could sense something eerie.

Smoke and Chu Yao were also stunned by the sight. Obviously, it was their first time here.

"This is where the Emperor practices. So far, besides me, no one has been invited here," Lady Xihua said with a smile, as cheerful as a young girl. She hadn't expected that Dragon Dust and the others would be invited here, but considering Dragon Dust had saved face for Long Tian, and Long Tian was a very ambitious person, he wouldn't want to be inferior to others. It turned out well for Smoke as Long Tian should not trouble Dragon Dust excessively, considering this incident with Smoke had a positive outcome.

"Come in," Long Tian's majestic voice echoed at this moment. Lady Xihua stuck her tongue out at the three of them, raised her eyebrows, indicating everyone to go in and be careful with their words.

It was the first time Dragon Dust saw Lady Xihua with such a mischievous expression. He found it a bit awkward, but thinking about it, Lady Xihua had spent a long time with Smoke and Chu Yao. She must have been influenced and became less serious.

Dragon Dust couldn't help but find it amusing. The undead were very simple people without much scheming.

Upon entering the hall, Dragon Dust discovered it was extremely simple, with almost nothing besides eight golden dragon pillars supporting the hall.

When Dragon Dust saw the vivid dragon patterns on the golden dragon pillars, his heart couldn't help but race. He was astonished to find that the dragon patterns carved on the pillars seemed to be the supreme skills of the Dragon Clan.

Because Dragon Dust saw a dragon soaring into the sky, raising its head and claws, surrounded by auspicious clouds and golden light. It was the move of Cloud Dragon Offering Claw.

Looking at the dragon pillars, Dragon Dust's eyes were firmly attracted. He even forgot to bow to Long Tian, who was sitting in the center of the hall. He stared at those pillars, motionless.

At that moment, the dragon blood in Dragon Dust's body began to become active. He couldn't help but be amazed: This was definitely the top-level skill of the Dragon Clan. There were many he had never seen before. How could it appear in the Undead Clan?

"Dragon Dust..."

Seeing Dragon Dust lost in thought and not bowing to Long Tian, too rude, Smoke gently pulled Dragon Dust.

Only then did Dragon Dust react and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Emperor."

For a proud person like Long Tian, he wouldn't develop a good impression of you because of your respect, nor would he dislike you because of your disrespect. In any case, he would look down on you. Dragon Dust didn't bother to make too much effort on the surface; dealing with it casually was enough.

To gain Long Tian's approval, one could only rely on strength; everything else was trivial. The more humble you appeared, the more he would look down on you.

Smoke and Chu Yao didn't understand these things. Seeing Dragon Dust casually bowing, looking indifferent, they suddenly felt uneasy. Just as things were going well, would there be any changes?

However, as everyone expected, Long Tian didn't care about such superficial actions. In the hall, under one of the dragon pillars, Long Tian sat on a cushion and glanced at everyone. He nodded slightly.

"Please sit."

Hearing Long Tian offering a seat, Lady Xihua felt joy in her heart. It seemed that, in her memory, Long Tian had never allowed anyone to sit at the same height as him.

Smoke and Chu Yao sat down cautiously, obviously a bit nervous. Dragon Dust, on the other hand, sat down casually. After sitting down, he looked around and even forgot to pay attention to the tense atmosphere; it didn't affect him at all.

"Just asking, where did this thing come from?" Dragon Dust pointed at the dragon pillar and couldn't help but ask.

Smoke and Chu Yao were dizzy. How could this fool be so casual? How could he speak so recklessly? That was the Emperor of the Undead Clan, even if you wanted to ask a question, you should show a humble and respectful attitude.

They were afraid that Long Tian would directly kick Dragon Dust out. Wouldn't it ruin a good start?

Unexpectedly, in the face of Dragon Dust's rudeness, Long Tian didn't get angry. He looked at the dragon pillar and said, "This is a relic from a friend of mine in the Dragon Clan. He entrusted it to me before he died. After that, his entire race was completely wiped out."

At this point, a trace of melancholy appeared on Long Tian's solemn face. "Now that the Nine Heavens are open, I don't know how the Dragon Clan is doing. Where is the legitimate successor? I want to return these relics to the Dragon Clan."

"The legitimate successor is here." Dragon Dust pointed at himself seriously.

Long Tian frowned at Dragon Dust and said, "Although humans are shameless, you take shamelessness to such an extent; it's unprecedented. You, a human, claim to be the legitimate successor of the Dragon Clan. Is there such a shameless person in the world?"

Hearing Long Tian scold Dragon Dust as shameless, Lady Xihua couldn't help but feel amused. Smoke and Chu Yao, however, wore worried expressions. They couldn't even force a smile.

"You don't understand. Although I am a human, only a part of my blood is dragon, and my dragon blood is the purest. The inheritance I received is the most orthodox, and it can't be more orthodox. Dragon Dust explained.

"How do you prove it?" Long Tian asked.

"Simple." Dragon Dust said. With a flick of his finger, a drop of purple dragon blood flew out and fell on one of the dragon pillars.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The golden dragon pillar trembled violently. Following that, the dragon patterns on the pillar, as if coming to life, produced a deafening dragon roar that echoed in the hall. The dragon patterns circulated, and the divine power of the pillar automatically evolved on the dragon pillar.

At the same time, a mist of purple appeared in front of the dragon pillar. This was one of the unique inheritance methods of the Dragon Clan—activating the inheritance pillar with essence blood, then absorbing the blood mist. In this way, learning and inheriting through this method was simpler and faster than the human race's inheritance.

However, the dragon blood Dragon Dust released was too sparse, not enough to truly stimulate the true inheriting power of the pillar. The blood mist dissipated as soon as it appeared.

This

drop of dragon blood from Dragon Dust wasn't meant to activate the divine power of the dragon pillar but to prove his words to Long Tian.

In fact, Long Tian invited Dragon Dust here to verify his guess. Now, everything was almost as he expected.

Long Tian looked at the dragon pillar for a long time before suddenly asking, "Is the Lord of Chaos Dragon Emperor still alive?"
