Chapter 5868: Cloud Dragon Clan

Within the great hall, above the eight dragon pillars, dragon patterns circulated, forming golden clouds. Within these clouds, a golden dragon appeared and disappeared.

Dragon Dust sat in meditation at the center of the eight dragon pillars, covered in purple scales as if wearing a dragon scale armor. Each scale, smooth as a mirror, reflected auspicious clouds in the hall, creating a divine and majestic atmosphere.

Outside the hall, Liu Changtian and Lady Xihua observed the scene. Liu Changtian's eyes showed a complex expression, as if he saw a poignant figure within the endless auspicious clouds.

"Miss her?" Lady Xihua looked at Liu Changtian and said softly.

Liu Changtian sighed, bringing his thoughts back. He looked at Lady Xihua with a hint of guilt in his eyes. "Xihua, I've wronged you all these years."

"Why say that?" Lady Xihua asked gently.

Liu Changtian sighed again, looking at Dragon Dust in meditation within the auspicious clouds. "Although this kid is annoying, some things he said about the human race are quite right. Because of love, there is worry; because of love, there is hatred. I love you, but my heart holds feelings for another woman. Your love is great, and I am selfish. This little brat made me reflect on the past and realize I've made many mistakes. The most outrageous one was not sincerely loving you."

At this point, Liu Changtian reached out and gently touched Lady Xihua's soft hair. Lady Xihua shivered, never having felt such tenderness in her life. Her beautiful eyes became moist, and tears silently fell along her cheeks.

"Lord Emperor, I'm willing to do anything for you. I don't seek any repayment; you've never been wrong, and there's no need for you to blame yourself," Lady Xihua choked out.

Liu Changtian smiled, wiping away her tears gently. "Being wrong is being wrong. Self-deception only earns more contempt. I don't want that human kid to mock me again. He told me a story about his relatives, mentioning two people named Old Man and Qu Jianying. Damn, after hearing it, I shivered."

"What kind of story is that? So terrifying? It made the Lord Emperor shiver," Lady Xihua said, breaking into laughter at Liu Changtian's use of foul language.

However, she felt that Liu Changtian at this moment gave her a sense of authenticity and intimacy.

"A buzzing sound..."

Inside the hall, Dragon Dust bathed in the golden auspicious clouds. Dragon patterns flowed onto his dragon scales. According to Dragon Dust's thoughts, he could learn the dragon clan's divine abilities by incorporating these dragon patterns into his dragon blood. However, he found that the dragon scales trembled, and these dragon patterns couldn't enter his blood.

"Lord Dragon Emperor, what's happening?" Dragon Dust hurriedly consulted the Chaos Dragon Emperor.

But this time, the Chaos Dragon Emperor did not respond. Dragon Dust was secretly surprised. Did something happen to the Chaos Dragon Emperor?

"Don't disturb it for no reason. As your strength improves, unless it contacts you actively, try not to contact it," the voice of the Primal Chaos Cauldron sounded in Dragon Dust's mind. "This is the divine ability of the Cloud Dragon Clan. Although your blood can activate them, the dragon pillars have not been nourished, and their power is nearing depletion. You can't directly absorb the dragon symbols to inherit the divine abilities. Now, you can only comprehend them."

"Comprehend? That sounds difficult," Dragon Dust was shocked. As a non-dragon, it would be challenging to comprehend the dragon clan's divine abilities, requiring overcoming many barriers.

"No other way. Either take the dragon pillars to the Dragon Realm, find the descendants of the Cloud Dragon Clan, and let them sacrifice their bloodline power to restore the totem power of the dragon clan. However, restoring totem power takes time, ranging from a hundred years to several thousand years or even longer. The crucial point is whether the Cloud Dragon Clan has surviving descendants; no one can guarantee that," the Primal Chaos Cauldron explained.

"Then forget it; I'll try to comprehend it!" Dragon Dust decided. He didn't have time to wait.

"Comprehension is good for you. The Cloud Dragon Clan is similar to the White Dragon Clan. Both belong to the Auspicious Dragon Clan, symbols of auspiciousness. Their divine abilities are powerful, but they lack killing power and leave room for maneuvering. Not very suitable for you. After you integrate and improve, it won't be difficult with your dragon blood power and combat experience. If you directly inherit and replicate, the divine symbols imprinted in the blood will instantly form, making it impossible to change. Those divine abilities would be useless for you, like tasteless chicken. It's a pity to discard them," the Primal Chaos Cauldron said.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior," Dragon Dust said. Understanding, he no longer forcibly absorbed the dragon symbols on the pillars and gently returned the symbols to the dragon pillars. Simultaneously, he infused his dragon blood into one of the dragon pillars.

"Buzz."

The dragon pillar trembled, and Dragon Dust's consciousness was instantly drawn into it. Within the dragon pillar appeared a world, but before Dragon Dust could inspect it, the endless golden clouds cracked open, and a colossal claw covered the sky, fiercely pressing down towards Dragon Dust.

The violent dragon aura was suffocating, and Dragon Dust had no chance to react before being struck by the dragon claw.

"Buzz."

The moment the dragon claw hit Dragon Dust, countless golden runes rapidly condensed, forming a golden divine seal with a radius of a hundred zhang, firmly sealing Dragon Dust within it.

"This move..."

Dragon Dust was greatly surprised. Faced with this move, he hadn't sensed anything. Caught off guard, by the time he reacted, he had already been sealed.

"I understand. This move is similar to my Earthen Slap Divine Art. It only wants to trap me, not kill me, so it can't trigger my danger perception," Dragon Dust suddenly understood the key to this move.

"Buzz."

Dragon Dust activated his dragon blood power, withdrawing his consciousness from the dragon pillar. When he looked back at the pillar, he couldn't help but be shocked. With just one in and out, the dragon pillar had noticeably dimmed.

Dragon Dust remembered what the Primal Chaos Cauldron had said: the power of this dragon pillar was almost depleted. If he tried a few more times, it might be destroyed.

Dragon Dust's heart trembled. He couldn't be careless. Before the dragon pillar was destroyed, he had to learn its essence.

"Buzz."

Dragon Dust focused his mind and entered the dragon pillar once again.
