The newly grown dragon scales are initially as thin as cicada wings, but as time goes by, they gradually become thicker and sharper.
The moment the dragon scales were fully formed, all seven people present breathed a long sigh of relief. They looked at each other and clearly saw the joy in each other's eyes.
It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning. With the formation of the first dragon scale, the second dragon scale was much easier. Soon, the third, fourth, and fifth dragon scales continued to grow.
The seven people guarding this spot dared not be distracted for even a moment, their eyes fixed intently on the situation before them.
Meanwhile, things were also starting to change drastically outside.
After more than a month, Sifangdian finally realized that it had been tricked by Yun Yan.
Especially after learning that Yun Yan had left the Southern Continent and returned to the Cloud Auction House.
Upon receiving the news, the master of the Four Directions Palace in the Southern Continent immediately smashed a set of superior spiritual artifact tea utensils in his study.
He then shut the door and cursed Yun Yan, as well as the meddlesome Fu Ziang and the Dragon Clan for most of the day.
However, Yun Yan has now run away, and Fu Zi'ang and the Zhenglong Clan have returned to the Liuyue Sect and are staying behind closed doors.
Whether it's the former or the latter, he currently has no way to settle scores with anyone.
The rage burning within the Four Directions Palace was like a volcano about to erupt but being suppressed. The more the Palace Master cursed, the angrier he became.
Finally, after hitting rock bottom and rebounding, unable to bear the frustration in his heart any longer, he went out and slaughtered a bunch of spirit beasts, which finally calmed his anger a little.
Upon his return, his first order was to have his men keep watch on Yun Yan and Fu Zi'ang, and to kill them without hesitation if they found an opportunity.
As for the dragons, he dared not act directly. After much deliberation and considering all the pros and cons, he finally chose to secretly send a message to a certain place.
The information eventually ended up in the hands of Lan Qian, the second wife of Ganquan City, who was the beautiful woman who had previously set her sights on the glutinous rice.
Lan Qian looked at the contents of the document, pondered for a long time, and then summoned Lan Yi, asking her to personally return to Lan Song Sect.
About half a month later, a rumor began to spread in the Southern Continent.
It is said that some rogue cultivators discovered a very ancient, even prehistoric, mansion in the perilous Nexu Gorge between the two continents in the southeast.
This ancient palace requires the blood of the divine beast Golden Dragon to unlock its restrictions.
The rumor initially spread only among the independent cultivators of the Southern Continent, but somehow, overnight, it became known to almost everyone in the Southern Continent.
It continued to spread outwards, from the nearest eastern continent, then to the western continent, and finally to the northern continent.
In no time, almost everyone in the entire Dawei area heard the rumor, and many people began to get restless, with countless eyes fixed on Jinlong.
Some of the crazy ones even resorted to sneak attacks, trying to obtain the Golden Dragon Blood and venture into this ancient ruin, causing endless trouble for the dragons outside.
As the rumors intensified, even the major sects couldn't resist and sent their disciples to investigate.
As it turns out, this ancient mansion is indeed real, and opening the outermost door does indeed require the blood of a golden dragon as a catalyst.
Instantly, these major sects couldn't sit still any longer and all started eyeing the Golden Dragon Blood.
The number of people coming to ask for the Golden Dragon Blood almost broke down the gates of Dragon Island.
At this time, news also spread from Ganquan City that a large number of dragons had gone to Liuyue Sect as guests.
Those who couldn't find Dragon Island, or dared not go there, all came to Liudan City, clamoring for Golden Dragon Blood.
The Liuyue Sect ignored them, so these people wreaked havoc in Liudan City, either deliberately causing trouble or intentionally fighting in the streets.
It was only after the Liuyue Sect took direct action and severely punished a group of people that the chaos was brought under control.
However, the matter was not over yet. Those rogue cultivators and those who were brainless and wanted to take shortcuts were gone.
However, various powerful forces from the Southern Continent came knocking one after another, all with the same goal: to obtain the Golden Dragon Blood.
Liu Yu is in seclusion helping Ling Jun reshape his body. Currently, Liu Ying and several other peak masters are in charge of the Liuyue Sect, and they are also extremely annoyed by this matter.
Finally, having exhausted all other options, they had to call upon Long Yi and Long Yin to ask if they had any solutions to the problem.
Long Yi and Long Yin already knew about this matter, but since they were currently residing in the Liuyue Sect as guests, the sect did not allow them to make their presence known, and they were too embarrassed to overstep their bounds.
Upon hearing Liuyue Sect's inquiry, the two immediately shared their thoughts.
The method is simple: if you want the Golden Dragon Blood, you must first defeat the Dragon Clan. Each faction you win will only give you a maximum of one drop, and the losers will have no say and will have to go back to where they came from.
In addition, one must exchange something of equal value, and the person who obtains the Golden Dragon Blood must also swear an oath to Heaven and an oath of bloodline.
The Golden Dragon Blood obtained is guaranteed to be used only for this trip into the Lost Palace, and it cannot be used to do anything detrimental to the Dragon Clan.
Although their dragon clan had already processed all the golden dragon blood that was prepared to be taken out.
However, these two oaths are still necessary to prevent outsiders from thinking that the dragon race is easy to bully and that anyone can take advantage of them in the future. This is a decision that the dragon race has discussed in private.
After all, the dragons were well aware that from the moment the ruins appeared and the golden dragon blood became the key to unlocking them, they could not remain unaffected; otherwise, they would be making enemies of the entire Great Vault Realm.
The dragon race is indeed powerful, but compared to the entire Great Dike Realm, they still don't have complete confidence.
In addition, over the years, through dealings with the outside world and contact with the Danmeng and Qimeng alliances, the Dragon Clan has traded Dragon Blood before.
They had long since figured out how to cut off the dragon blood that was being given out, severing the connection with the master, without affecting the activity and efficacy of the dragon blood itself.
Most importantly, apart from the dragons, no one outside knows that their clan has produced a genius of Word Magic, whose Word Magic is incredibly powerful.
If this ancient palace truly requires the blood of a golden dragon to open, that's fine. But if someone is plotting against the dragon race, the backlash from the Word of Power will definitely be enough to give them a hard time. Nobody is a pushover.
Therefore, after this discussion, the group that came to Liudan City to ask for dragon blood handed over the initiative to the dragon clan, with the Liuyue Sect assisting them.
Long Yi and Long Yin were no pushovers. They immediately selected several of their strongest dragons and, accompanied by guards provided by the Liuyue Sect, made a grand entrance down the mountain.
Soon, a fighting arena was set up in the central square of Liudan City, with one side being the dragon clan and the other side being those who wanted dragon blood.
