Ren Lao's sudden words caught Chen Zhou off guard.
"You stay behind to cover their retreat. Let the two of them leave!" Elder Ren said in the spiritual world.
Chen Zhou was immediately stunned. Although this Dragon Martial Heavenly Ox was only at the seventh level, it had a strong dragon bloodline, making it powerful enough to rival a Golden Core cultivator! Elder Ren actually wanted him to stay behind alone to deal with this?
Although Chen Zhou thought this way, he didn't refute Elder Ren. Instead, he did as Elder Ren said, letting Su Feng and Wo Yuan leave together while he covered their retreat. He didn't know what Elder Ren was thinking, but he figured Elder Ren wouldn't harm him. Chen Zhou thought to himself.
"Moo...Moo...Moo..." The Dragon Martial Heavenly Bull howled several times in succession, causing the forest behind the mountain to tremble. The commotion grew louder and louder because the Dragon Martial Heavenly Bull was not yet strong enough to break free from the Dragon Imprisonment Formation.
It kept attacking the Dragon Imprisoning Formation with its horns, trying to break through it directly. But how could the Dragon Imprisoning Formation be broken through so easily? Chen Zhou quietly watched the Dragon Martial Heavenly Ox, and then, after Wo Yuan and Su Feng's figures completely disappeared, he immediately went into his spiritual world to find Elder Ren.
The Dragon Imprisoning Formation can control the Dragon Warrior Heavenly Bull for five minutes.
In these five minutes, Chen Zhou needed to know what to do next. Did he really have to fight this Dragon Martial Heavenly Bull?
“This Dragon Martial Heavenly Ox is the overlord of the Wolong Mountain area. The sudden appearance of this Dragon Martial Heavenly Ox in Sulong Mountain is definitely not a coincidence,” Elder Ren said quietly.
Since acquiring the reclining chair, every time Chen Zhou entered the spiritual world to search for Elder Ren, Elder Ren was lying on the reclining chair, seemingly growing weaker and weaker. However, this was only an appearance; Elder Ren's speech was anything but weak, instead full of vigor. Therefore, Chen Zhou did not think much of it.
"This spirit beast is the overlord of the entire Wolong Mountain area. Why does it happen to appear in Sulong Mountain at this time?" Chen Zhou couldn't help but ask. Sulong Mountain is on the edge of the Wolong Mountain area. Logically speaking, such a mountain overlord would not come to the remote Sulong Mountain for no reason. It should always stay in the center of the Wolong Mountain area.
"This is what I'm going to tell you now. Actually, not only spirit beasts have the bloodline of dragons, but humans do too." Elder Ren said slowly. These words immediately shocked Chen Zhou. Chen Zhou's mind went blank, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Do humans also have dragon blood?
"How could this be? How could human ancestors possibly have dragon blood?" Chen Zhou said in disbelief.
"Thousands of years ago, when dragons still existed, they interbred with humans, and the offspring were called dragon descendants. However, at that time, dragon descendants were very fragile, often dying or being injured, so they were never valued by the dragon race. It wasn't until generations of reproduction that the dragon bloodline was diluted in the human body, until it was fully absorbed and utilized by humans. Only then did dragon descendants show their inhuman strengths."
That era was known as the Dragonborn Era. As the rule of the Dragonborn lasted for a thousand years, generation after generation, the bloodline of the Dragonborn became increasingly diluted, and their strength diminished, leading to the end of the Dragonborn Era and the beginning of the Imperial Era. The Imperial Era has continued to this day. The people of the three major sects you see on Mount Wolong are actually descendants of the Dragonborn.
Ren Lao quickly explained that there wasn't much time to explain slowly; Chen Zhou needed to understand within the next five minutes.
"As for Wolong Mountain, in my opinion, the Wolong Sect has the strongest dragon bloodline. You saw Wo Yuan just now; she is much stronger than Su Feng, but she is much younger, so she should be a direct descendant of the Wolong Sect. The Sulong Sect, on the other hand, should have the weakest dragon bloodline."
At the same time, their strength is also the weakest, as you can see from the fact that they are frequently attacked by external forces. Therefore, I can roughly guess why the relationship between the three factions is so bad—it's because of bloodlines. The bloodline of the Su Long Sect should now be almost indistinguishable from that of humans, so the Wo Long Sect would definitely not allow its members to intermarry with those of the Su Long Sect, as this would only dilute the dragon bloodline further.
This only brings them harm, not benefit. Therefore, it directly led to the deterioration of relations. Now, Wo Yuan and Su Feng are the key figures for both factions, each representing their respective factions and even the issue of the dragon bloodline's inheritance.
Chen Zhou nodded, having roughly understood the source of these events. So that's how it is. No wonder the Dragon Martial Sky Ox appeared here; it was probably attracted by Wo Yuan's dragon bloodline. Wo Yuan's dragon bloodline is currently quite strong, attracting many spirit beasts with dragon bloodlines.
"So what am I doing staying behind to cover their retreat? Just to make the dragon bloodline even thinner for them?" Chen Zhou said quickly, as the five minutes were almost up.
"No. You are cultivating the Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Array Diagram, but you cannot yet unleash the power of the Dragon Roar Array. This Dragon Martial Heavenly Ox not only possesses the bloodline of a dragon, which you cannot absorb, but you can absorb the dragon patterns." Elder Ren slowly revealed the key point.
Dragon pattern!
Chen Zhou still doesn't know what dragon patterns are.
"Dragon markings are something only those who cultivate dragon-based techniques know. Su Cang, whom you just saw, is someone who has cultivated dragon-based techniques, which is why he has dragon markings on his face. The more complex the markings, the stronger the dragon markings. Therefore, the greater the power you can unleash with dragon-based techniques," Elder Ren continued, his tone swift and decisive.
"To cultivate the dragon pattern, you must use a spirit beast with dragon blood as a catalyst. So you must draw out the dragon pattern of this Dragon Martial Heavenly Ox and absorb it! Then hurry up and run!" Elder Ren said quickly.
