Upon hearing the old man's words, one of the other eight people at the altar immediately retorted.
"That's right. Even the geniuses in the clan couldn't bring out the Azure Dragon's inheritance completely. How could a mere human boy possibly summon Lord Azure Dragon?"
The other elders on the altar also chimed in.
"Young friend, my name is Mu Song. You don't need to be afraid. Now I'm afraid I need you to show me something. Relax."
After giving a brief introduction to the old man brought by Gu Yifeng, Gu Yifeng pointed out that he had arrived at the center of the altar, and then the dragon bloodline in his body was uncontrollably activated.
His eyes transformed into vertical pupils, and a layer of fine scales emerged from his body. A pure wood-attribute dragon aura spread out, and although the concentration was not high, the rich wood-attribute aura within it was far more balanced and peaceful than that of the people on the altar.
This is the purest wood-attribute aura. On the continent of Qunguang, this attribute is called the primordial element. The power possessed by the Azure Dragon is the primordial wood.
"Impossible! There are no more primordial elements in this world! Lord Azure Dragon ascended to the Heavenly Realm ten thousand years ago, and the Azure Dragon clan also left as a whole. How could they still have such pure primordial energy?"
Upon sensing the aura emanating from Gu Yifeng, those on the altar were quickly shocked, unable to believe the reality of what they were witnessing.
"Everyone, but this is the truth. This young friend possesses the Primordial Wood, making him a benefactor of my Wood Dragon Clan. These are the words left by Lord Azure Dragon before he departed. With such power, there is absolutely no way he could be a villain."
"Besides, his power comes from the Dragon Balls, and he has already awakened his dragon bloodline. If we can't even trust someone like him, who else can we entrust our future to?"
Old Man Musong spoke slowly, his tone quite heavy. He pointed out again, and the power of the dragon bloodline within Gu Yifeng surged continuously, almost causing him to roar out a dragon's cry.
Just as Old Man Musong finished speaking, the white light that had merged into Gu Yifeng's body during his previous trial on the island reappeared at his chest, transforming into a small dragon, which finally landed on his brow and became a dragon scale mark.
"The Dragon Spirit Proof, hehe, that's something I hadn't expected. Does anyone have any objections?"
Old Man Musong smiled slightly, then looked at the others at the altar and asked again. Once he said this, the others had nothing more to say. The Dragon Spirit Certificate was the highest level of certification on Azure Dragon Island.
Because the island entry trial was set up by the island spirit, it is a masterpiece of both the rules and the consciousness of the Azure Dragon. Therefore, obtaining the Dragon Spirit Certificate means that one has been certified by both the consciousness of the Azure Dragon and the rules.
This is also why the dragon captain was so respectful after Gu Yifeng completed the trial.
"Um, Senior Musatsu, what exactly are you talking about?"
Gu Yifeng was somewhat confused and couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, it was I who took the liberty of making this decision, and I forgot about you. Now that they have agreed, let me have a proper talk with you."
Old Man Mu Song stroked his beard and then slowly began to explain to him.
On this Azure Dragon Island, since the Azure Dragon ascended to heaven ten thousand years ago, only a branch of the Azure Dragon clan, the Wood Dragon clan, remained. Because they were not qualified enough, they could not be taken to the Immortal Realm by the Azure Dragon.
In this way, the Wood Dragons can only accept the Azure Dragons' instructions to guard Azure Dragon Island for generations and protect the Azure Dragon's legacy. Whether they are outsiders or members of the Wood Dragon clan, as long as they can pass the test, they can enter the trial grounds on the island.
The entrance is located on this altar, which opens once every ten years. Inside is a treasure trove of inheritance set up by the Azure Dragon. As long as you enter the trial grounds, you will have the opportunity to obtain the Azure Dragon's inheritance.
However, since the opening of the Azure Dragon Trial Grounds, no one from the Wood Dragon Clan has ever entered the depths of the Trial Grounds; at most, they have obtained a portion of the Azure Dragon's inheritance.
However, with the great changes in the world today, spiritual energy is scarce and the Great Dao is hard to find, let alone ascend to immortality. The Wood Dragon Clan was already dwindling in number, and now on the island, unable to obtain its inheritance, it is restricted by the Heavenly Dao and is gradually dying out.
The once formidable Wood Dragon clan has gradually diverged. One branch remains as a pure dragon bloodline, now numbering less than a hundred. The other branch consists of members who chose to interact with humans, evolving into the Dragon-Human lineage.
Compared to the orthodox dragon race, the dragon people only have half the bloodline of the wood dragon, but their population is quite large, with at least a hundred people, so they have now taken over the responsibility of guarding Azure Dragon Island.
Therefore, the Wood Dragon Clan urgently needs the inheritance of the Azure Dragon, or to summon the Azure Dragon to descend to the mortal realm and guide the future of the Wood Dragon lineage.
According to legend, the Azure Dragon lineage contains a drop of Azure Dragon's essence blood. With this blood, the Wood Dragon clan can overcome its reproduction problems and even go further, with the entire clan potentially evolving into Azure Dragon blood.
...
"I see. But can I really obtain the Azure Dragon's inheritance, or even meet Lord Azure Dragon?"
Gu Yifeng said somewhat uncertainly.
"You possess the purest wood attribute aura. If you cannot gain the approval of the Trial Grounds, then the future of my Wood Dragon Clan will probably come to an end."
Old Man Musong sighed deeply and spoke slowly.
There are still ten days until the next trial grounds open. Mu Song hopes that Gu Yifeng can stay and obtain the Azure Dragon inheritance for the Mulong clan, or summon the Azure Dragon sacred beast to the mortal realm.
In return, the Wood Dragon Clan would purify the dragon bloodline within Gu Yifeng's body. Needless to say, this benefit is immense. For cultivators, dragon blood is already highly nourishing, and obtaining a purer dragon bloodline would be even more beneficial to cultivation.
Gu Yifeng had no choice but to agree. The dragon bloodline was indeed very attractive to him. Putting aside everything else, as for the Devouring Heaven Record, the dragon bloodline could offset some of the side effects when he transformed into a Taotie in the future.
It is important to know that Taotie is one of the nine sons of the dragon. The dragon bloodline has an innate suppressive power over Taotie. Therefore, when using the Devouring Heaven Record, its power can be increased and its side effects reduced.
Now that he had agreed to Old Man Musong's request, Gu Yifeng had some free time and decided not to consider using the Dragon Ball for cultivation for the time being. He would wait until his bloodline was purer before using the Dragon Ball for cultivation, as the effect would be better.
After wandering aimlessly for a long time, he unconsciously wandered into the territory of the Dragon People lineage and saw Uncle Gu and Nangong Wan in the distance. He didn't expect that the two of them hadn't left yet.
"Oh, you two haven't left yet? Aren't you in a hurry to treat the master's illness?"
Gu Yifeng couldn't help but ask, noticing the rather strange expressions on the two men's faces.
"Young master, it's not that we don't want to, it's just that..."
Uncle Gu wanted to say something more, but Nangong Wan interrupted him.
"We begged for medicine, but the Wood Dragon Clan refused. Does the young master have any solutions?"
Nangong Wan had long noticed the attitude of the group of dragon people towards Gu Yifeng when he arrived.
