The case of the disappearance of the Ancestral Dragon's Treasure was quickly brought to a close.

The Dragon Emperor did not severely punish the Demon Dragon Clan.

Perhaps out of consideration for Fang Ran having given birth to his son, he only allowed her to reflect on her actions in Wushan.

Inside the Dragon Clan's main hall.

The Dragon Emperor sat on his throne, with only him and Lan Hua in the main hall.

"Lanhua, tell me, among the six dragon princes currently in the Xiongli Mountain Realm, which one has the most potential and the best chance of becoming emperor first?"

The Dragon Emperor propped his head up with one hand and said calmly.

Lan Hua frowned slightly.

What's the Dragon Emperor up to now? Is this some kind of death trap?

However, Lan Hua has confidence in Ba Xia.

"Your Majesty, I believe Baxia has a good chance?"

The Dragon Emperor responded with an "Oh," and then asked, "Why do you think highly of him?"

Lan Hua smiled confidently, "Because I believe I can become emperor before him, and then use my power to help him!"

"Doesn't the Dragon Emperor think that Baxia has a greater chance of becoming emperor?"

"That's interesting!"

The Dragon Emperor raised his head and laughed, "I am very pleased that Baxia has a good friend like you!"

"Someone come here!"

"Announce to the Dragon Clan: Human Lan Hua has retrieved the Ancestral Dragon's Treasure for me and taken care of the Dragon Prince Baxia, thus rendering a great service and deserving a reward!"

"Please invite Venerable Lan to the Dragon Pool and bathe in the dragon's blood!"

Lan Hua was taken aback.

Dragon Pool?

Bathing in dragon's blood?

The Dragon Emperor laughed and said, "Boy, this is your reward!"

After speaking, the Dragon Emperor lightly waved his right hand, and a beam of light flew out, striking towards Lan Hua.

Lan Hua instinctively tried to dodge, but a terrifying force froze him in place, preventing him from escaping.

After the rosy light entered her body, Lan Hua felt a strange sensation.

Because that power was somewhat special, it was similar to the power of the Human Emperor, but it had its own unique characteristics.

The Dragon Emperor said calmly, "This is the mark of an emperor, which will greatly benefit your becoming an emperor!"

"I sense another royal mark within you, it must be the mark of the Human Emperor, right?"

Lan Hua suddenly felt a sense of relief, realizing she had regained her freedom, and thought to herself that it was all a false alarm.

"That's right, it was left behind by the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor once lent me a helping hand!"

The Dragon Emperor gave an "oh" and revealed a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Since the Emperor has taken a liking to you, I certainly won't be wrong. Go!"

"Your destiny lies in Dragon Pool!"

One person strode into the main hall and took Lan Hua away.

Only the Dragon Emperor remained in the main hall.

"Lanhua, Lanhua, the successor of the Pill God Palace, no, you should be the successor of the Pill Heaven Emperor, can you bear this great calamity?"

The murmuring echoed in the cold, silent hall.

"Brother Long, where is Dragon Pool?" Lan Hua asked along the way.

“Venerable Lan, you may call me Huo Xiaoji.”

This Dragon Pool is a sacred place for our clan. It contains the essence and blood of many dragon beings; bathing in its blood can enhance one's cultivation and alter one's physique!

"What?"

Lan Hua was taken aback.

"Was this essence blood donated voluntarily by these dragons?"

Huo Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "More or less!"

"Those dragons are already very old. By donating their essence and blood, they can still contribute their remaining energy. It's a win-win situation!"

Lan Hua fell silent.

It turns out that the reason why these dragon sons of Baxia were able to reach the Xuan-level cultivation so quickly was because of the dragon clan's secret method of transferring their cultivation.

What was sacrificed was the cultivation and lifespan of the dragon ancestors.

Before long, the two arrived above the Dragon Pool.

The Dragon Pool looks like an altar, or a huge bathhouse, with a giant dragon carved on its edge, coiling around it.

At this moment, directly above the Dragon Pool, more than twenty giant dragons were circling and dancing, each possessing cultivation above the True Rank.

Lan Hua knew that they were the victims of this incident.

They may not die, but their lifespan will definitely decline.

Huo Xiao remained expressionless and calmly said, "Venerable Lan, please enter the pool!"

Lan Hua did not move.

He didn't want this kind of opportunity.

Huo Xiao said, "Venerable Lan, even if you don't go down, the dragons in the sky will offer up their blood essence. They will not disobey the Dragon Emperor's orders."

"Any use of the Dragon Pool involves the interests of the dragon race, and Venerable Lan is no exception!"

"Benefit?"

Lan Hua didn't quite understand, but after thinking about it carefully, she roughly understood.

The so-called Ancestral Dragon Treasure is lost, but the Dragon Emperor can easily find it by borrowing the power of the other three treasures.

But the fact that Lan Hua was asked to find it clearly meant that he was being given a great opportunity to do something worthwhile.

Therefore, the Dragon Emperor's intention from the beginning to bathe himself in dragon blood was merely to give the many dragons a convincing reason.

"Is he really doing this for Baxia?"

"Is Baxia the core of the interests?"

Lan Hua sighed and shook her head, truly not understanding.

"Brother Huoxiao, I'll go down now!"

Lan Hua leaped into the Dragon Pool, slowly closing her eyes, even shutting down her senses and consciousness.

He didn't want to see the miserable state of those dragons.

The fire serpent nodded slightly to the dragons in the sky.

The latter all let out a dragon's roar, a sound filled with helplessness, sorrow, and desolation.

Without the slightest hesitation, the dragons used their claws to cut open their own chests, and their blood gushed out like a torrent into the dragon pool.

Soon, Lan Hua was covered in dragon blood until only her head was visible.

Immediately afterwards, a bright red light shone in the Dragon Pool, and a red dragon shadow appeared, coiling around Lan Hua and occasionally rolling in the dragon blood.

With a loud cry, the dragon's shadow rushed into Lan Hua's body.

Soon, more than ten more blood-red dragon shadows surged in, causing Lan Hua's cultivation level to rise rapidly.

The dragon blood was slowly decreasing, and its essence was flowing into Lan Hua's body.

After a long time, the dragon whiskers in the pool dried up, turned into a pile of ashes, and disappeared into the Xiongli Mountain range.

Lan Hua opened her eyes, her body untouched by blood.

"Hmm? His cultivation has actually reached the peak of the Profound Rank, and the primordial spirit power in his middle dantian is already saturated!"

Looking towards the sky, the dragons were nowhere to be seen, and as for the Firefly, there was no sign of him either.

"Let's go check out Baxia's residence!"

When Baxia saw Lan Hua return, his furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"Brother Hua, where have you been? You've been missing for ten days. Did that old dragon head do anything to you?"

Lan Hua was slightly surprised, never expecting that ten days would pass.

"The Dragon Emperor has given me a great opportunity, and I've been staying in the Dragon Pool these past few days!"

Baxia was startled, took a few steps back, and glanced at Lanhua.

"No wonder I felt you were different. Your divine court is full and clear. You've reached the peak of the Profound Rank!"

Lan Hua nodded and said, "Brother Ba, I'm leaving now. I'm going to follow my own path!"

Baxia's brow twitched. "Brother Hua, are you preparing to break through to the Emperor realm?"

"good!"

Baxia was somewhat distressed. "This time, I can't stay by your side. Be careful when you break through to the next realm!"

"good!"

When Lan Hua returned to Misty Valley, Zi Yue was still in meditation.

When the latter saw Lan Hua, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

Lan Hua recounted what had happened in the Xiongli Mountain region, and Zi Yue agreed with Lan Hua's idea.

This opportunity was deliberately given by the Dragon Emperor and had little to do with the Ancestral Dragon's Treasure.

Zi Yue said, "It's very possible, but the benefit isn't just for Baxia; it could be for the entire Dragon Clan and the entire Xiongli Mountain Realm!"

Lan Hua was taken aback. "Does the Dragon Emperor intend to place the future of the Dragon Clan on my shoulders?"

"No way?"
