The third, fourth, and fifth elders also expressed their amazement and excitement. They all felt the powerful aura emanating from Qin Ze and were filled with anticipation and pride.

Looking at his son, Qin Zhan's eyes were filled with emotion and pride. He said affectionately, "Ze'er, you are the hope of our Qin family, and my proudest son. The inheritance of the imperial way has led you onto a great path. You must move forward steadfastly and live up to this glory and responsibility."

Qin Ze nodded, his gaze firm and confident, as he addressed the five elders and Qin Zhan, indicating that he would never let them down, nor would he betray the glory of the Qin family.

He was fully aware of the heavy responsibility he bore and the challenges he was about to face, but his heart was filled with unwavering determination.

Qin Zhan smiled and nodded, then led Qin Ze slowly away from the Sacred Stone Space and back to the inner courtyard of the Qin family.

Upon entering the room, Qin Ze had a sudden thought and entered the Tower of Babel.

As soon as it entered, the fire dragon keenly sensed the powerful energy fluctuations within Qin Ze's body. The fire dragon's voice rang out, carrying a hint of amazement and appreciation.

"Master, your power has increased so rapidly! I can sense the incredible strength within you. What brings you here, Master?"

Qin Ze was filled with curiosity about breaking through to the next realm, so he decided to ask the Fire Dragon for advice.

After hearing Qin Ze's question, the fire dragon looked at Qin Ze deeply and then slowly said, "Without destruction, there can be no construction. Only by seeing through life and death and comprehending its true meaning can one truly reach the realm of breakthrough."

Qin Ze hesitated slightly, not quite understanding the fire dragon's words. Sensing Qin Ze's confusion, the fire dragon shook its head, a faint sigh in its voice: "Some things can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. It's a kind of enlightenment, a profound understanding of life and death, the world, and oneself. When Master truly reaches that level, he will truly understand."

Although Qin Ze didn't quite understand the explanation of the fire dragon, he knew that some things were indeed difficult to express in words.

So he nodded slightly, indicating his understanding. He knew that only through personal experience could he truly grasp the intricacies of the matter.

After his conversation with the fire dragon, Qin Ze left its territory, still filled with doubts. He felt he needed more time and experience to understand what the fire dragon had said.

Then, Qin Ze's gaze turned to the distance, and he saw Chu Muran, that lively and adorable little girl, walking happily towards him.

Qin Ze smiled and took out a piece of chocolate from his spatial ring, handing it to Chu Muran.

The little girl happily accepted the chocolate, her face beaming with joy.

Suddenly, a series of notification sounds rang in Qin Ze's ears: "Ding, Chu Muran's friendship level with the host +10."

"Ding! Chu Muran's favorability towards the host exceeds 90 points!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! Reward: Blood of the True Dragon."

It's finally finished!!!

Qin Ze was immediately overjoyed.

Qin Ze walked back to his room, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation about the blood of the true dragon.

He carefully took out the crystal that shimmered with golden light and gently played with it.

In his hands, this piece of true dragon blood was like a living heart, containing boundless power.

Qin Ze entered a quiet, secluded room. He sat down quietly and placed the True Dragon Blood before him.

With a thought, a vast energy surged forth, enveloping the entire secret chamber. The air seemed to freeze, a mysterious aura permeating the stillness.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to activate the energy contained in the true dragon's blood.

The energy surged into his body like a powerful wave. He felt a scorching power flowing through his body, like a fire dragon churning in his meridians.

Qin Ze's body began to gradually emit a golden light, his muscles seemed to be expanding, and every cell was full of power.

The air inside the sealed room began to distort, as if being torn apart by an invisible force.

This change did not stop, and Qin Ze's strength continued to soar.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the realm of the Emperor Dragon Technique continued to rise.

When Qin Ze broke through to the seventh level of the Emperor Dragon Technique, a golden dragon image gradually appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, its scales shimmering and its eyes filled with power.

The golden dragon seemed to come alive; following Qin Ze's will, it rose from his sea of ​​consciousness and hovered around him.

At the same time, the entire chamber began to tremble, and an earthquake-like tremor spread outwards.

Everyone in the Qin family, including Qin Ze's wife Wang Ying, Qin Zhan, and other family members, was stunned by this powerful aura.

They all sensed the unusual noise coming from the secret room and rushed towards it.

The moment they opened the door, a huge golden dragon shadow came into view, its imposing presence terrifying.

Qin Ze's power grew so rapidly that it shocked everyone.

Surrounded by golden dragons, Qin Ze appeared like an emperor descending to earth, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Qin Zhan watched this scene with a complex mix of emotions.

He was proud of his son's growth, but at the same time he couldn't help but worry that Qin Ze's power was increasing too fast and whether there would be any hidden dangers.

Wang Ying's gaze was filled with amazement and admiration. She couldn't help but feel that the man in front of her was gradually becoming an unparalleled figure.

Just as Qin Ze was immersed in the power of the golden dragon and had not yet fully experienced the strength of this divine dragon, a melodious phoenix cry suddenly emanated from within him. A wave of heat surged within him, and then a magnificent phoenix flew out from his body.

This phoenix, adorned with fiery red feathers, danced gracefully with its wings, each flap creating a surge of intense heat. Its eyes gleamed with wisdom, as if it were a symbol of ancient intelligence.

The dragon and phoenix gazed at each other, then emitted a melodious harmonious cry. The golden dragon shadow and the fiery red phoenix shadow intertwined, creating a breathtaking scene.

Within Qin Ze's body, a golden dragon and a fire phoenix swirled and circled around him. The golden dragon exuded imperial majesty, while the fire phoenix was brimming with life force. These two powerful energies converged and merged within him, creating a unique and unprecedented spectacle.

He felt the power of the dragon and phoenix permeating his body, every meridian and every cell trembling. The power of the golden dragon and the fire phoenix continued to merge, making Qin Ze's strength even more unfathomable.

Qin Ze's gaze hardened. He took a deep breath, seemingly merging with the power of the dragon and phoenix, beginning to understand how these two mysterious forces resonated with each other.

The power of the dragon and phoenix surged within him, creating an unprecedented resonance. His heart gradually calmed down, and he felt the wondrous sensation of merging with the power of heaven and earth.

The entire room was filled with the aura of dragons and phoenixes intertwined, resembling a mysterious fairyland. Under this aura, Qin Ze appeared like an emperor descending to earth, exuding extraordinary majesty.

Qin Ze murmured, "I never expected that the breakthrough in the Emperor Dragon Technique would actually trigger that drop of phoenix blood essence, causing the phoenix power to erupt completely!"

"What a pleasant surprise!"
