Gu Yifeng curled his lip upon hearing this, but he already had a guess in his heart.
The fact that the Azure Dragon clan was able to perish, yet still leave behind the Sacred Tomb to guard the Wood Dragon lineage and protect the Continent of Radiant Light, suggests that the great calamity ten thousand years ago was either related to the Heavenly Dao or to the world outside the Continent of Radiant Light.
"It's good that you know the truth. It's just that I didn't explain the reasons to you clearly. In addition, the Wood Dragon lineage has suffered serious losses of its heritage over the past ten thousand years, which has deprived you of many opportunities to learn about it."
"In the end, the existence of the Nine Forbidden Zones is to suppress this Saint's Holy Tomb and ensure that the fortune of the Wood Dragon lineage remains unchanged, so that it can continue for ten thousand years."
"Now that the ten thousand years are almost up, if the nine restrictions are not lifted, the Wood Dragon Clan will also face extinction due to the extinction of its lineage. Once the nine restrictions are unified, this restriction will be lifted."
"At that time, the Wood Dragon Clan will no longer have difficulty reproducing, and it is only natural that geniuses will emerge in large numbers. However, if someone plots against them, it will be difficult to retaliate. The Holy Tomb will continue to protect the Azure Dragon Island, and the Nine Forbidden Ones will pass on everything I have to you, young friend."
"I originally intended to borrow your body to personally instruct the current Wood Dragon Clan. Since you are unwilling, I have no choice but to entrust it to you."
Qinglong spoke to Gu Yifeng almost word by word, and anyone could hear the regret in his tone, but he was quickly interrupted by Gu Yifeng.
"Senior! Come on, I will follow the rules and challenge each forbidden area one by one. I have agreed to your request. Once the nine forbidden areas are unified, I would like to ask you to personally go to the Wood Dragon Clan and give them your instructions."
Gu Yifeng clasped his hands slightly, realizing he had misunderstood Qinglong's meaning, and immediately tried to make amends.
Upon hearing this, Qinglong glanced at Gu Yifeng with considerable surprise, said no more, slowly rose, and then his illusory figure vanished with the wind.
He also took a deep look in the direction where the Azure Dragon disappeared, then a stream of light burst from beneath his feet, vanishing from the spot and heading straight for the Third Forbidden Zone.
With the blessing of the Azure Dragon Holy Armor, the Azure Dragon phantom of the third forbidden realm was naturally no match for it. It was only at the peak of the early stage of the Tai Xu Realm. With the suppression of the Wood Spirit Ring, it was defeated after only one incense stick's time, which was more than the second forbidden realm.
With a snap of his fingers, Gu Yifeng caused the surrounding sea of trees to vanish.
"Third restriction, Azure Dragon Body, released!"
It was that same gentle voice. This time, he knew it was the voice of the Azure Dragon.
As the Azure Dragon's voice faded, Gu Yifeng's entire body began to writhe. The Azure Dragon's physical form flew out from the Azure Dragon's phantom and transformed into green light, disappearing into his body.
In just a moment, he felt an unbearable swelling and pain throughout his body. This was only the beginning; after the swelling and pain subsided, an itching sensation followed.
This is the power of the Azure Dragon's flesh and blood. Although it is less than one-tenth of the true Azure Dragon's power, it is still enough for Gu Yifeng to digest. The whole body is full of boundless power.
After enduring an hour of torment and experiencing fiery pain throughout his body, Gu Yifeng finally recovered. A layer of spiritual energy washed over his body, cleaning the blood from his pores.
After stretching out, Gu Yifeng strode forward and continued on his way.
"Fourth Forbidden Technique, Azure Dragon Armor, Release!"
"Fifth Forbidden Technique, Azure Dragon Heart, Release!"
"Sixth forbidden technique, Azure Dragon Horn, released!"
"Seventh Forbidden Technique, Azure Dragon Feather, Release!"
"Eighth Forbidden Technique, Azure Dragon Vein, Release!"
"Ninth Forbidden Technique, Azure Dragon Soul, Release!"
As gentle voices rang out, Gu Yifeng spent three whole days, including system check-ins, before he finally managed to conquer all nine forbidden areas without missing a single one.
In the final attack, the Azure Dragon phantom's strength reached the peak of the Void Realm. Gu Yifeng almost lost, and finally detonated two of his avatars to defeat the Azure Dragon phantom.
After the Nine Forbidden Elements were unified, a phantom image of a blue dragon appeared in his consciousness. Without the slightest hesitation, he temporarily lent his physical body to the blue dragon.
As the Azure Dragon's consciousness took over the physical body, in just three breaths, its entire appearance changed back to the human form it had when it met Gu Yifeng. With a casual wave of its hand, a spatial rift opened, and it took a step out and left the trial space.
Almost at the same time that the Azure Dragon appeared, the entire Wood Dragon clan knelt down in worship.
"Greetings, Azure Dragon Saint Venerable!"
All the Wood Dragons spoke in unison.
"It's alright, everyone, please rise. The restrictions I left in the trial grounds have now been lifted, and the Wood Dragon Clan will no longer face any limitations. Our current predicament is over."
"This young friend will be an important person to our Azure Dragon Island in the future. Anyone who dares to disrespect him will be killed!"
Azure Dragon spoke coldly, revealing Gu Yifeng's figure for a moment, and then spoke with killing intent.
Clearly, after taking over Gu Yifeng's body, he learned about Mu Chenzi's situation and felt helpless. At this moment, he could only issue a warning.
After speaking, Qinglong said no more. With a flick of his finger, the restrictions on the entire Qinglong Island were strengthened by three points.
Then several more streaks of light flew out and entered the bodies of the nine elders guarding the altar. These elders immediately knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces.
With this single finger strike, Azure Dragon added another fifty years to the lifespan of the nine elders. In addition, it also improved their cultivation level, giving those who were nearing their bottlenecks a greater chance of breaking through.
This is the power of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast. Even if it only returns briefly with the help of the Nine Forbidden Powers, it is enough to unleash power far exceeding the limits of the Radiant Continent.
After doing all this, the Azure Dragon left behind a drop of its essence blood, set up a total of nine seals, and then fell into the center of the altar, continuously sinking.
"This drop of essence blood is the last trump card left for the Wood Dragon Clan. With this essence blood, the Wood Dragon Clan can preserve its last hope."
After leaving his last words, Qinglong left a mark in the spiritual sea of Gu Yifeng, and then disappeared, his figure vanishing and transforming back into the form of Gu Yifeng.
"Young friend, you've worked hard. Let me take you to rest. I should keep my promise."
Mu Song spoke first, addressing Gu Yifeng.
Gu Yifeng nodded upon hearing this, and then he and Mu Song went to his cave.
"Among the Wood Dragon clan, although my cultivation level is not the highest, my bloodline purity should be enough to help you upgrade to a pure dragon vein."
Mu Song, without any pretense, spoke first to Gu Yifeng.
"Thank you for your kind offer, senior, but I think I may not need it."
Gu Yifeng said somewhat embarrassedly upon hearing this, then with a thought, a green light flowed through his body, and his eyes transformed into vertical pupils.
A layer of fine scales emerged from its body, transforming its entire form into a dragon shape.
In just three breaths, a surge of energy emanated from Gu Yifeng's body, even causing Mu Song to feel suffocated, signifying the innate suppression of his bloodline.
"This is... the bloodline of the Azure Dragon!"
Old Man Musong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
