Chapter 0323: The Ancestral Dragon Pool

The wind sounded mournful.
After a while, Huang Long clenched his hands to form a magic spell. Instantly, a water mirror appeared in midair. Then, the mirror became illusory, and under Li Yifeng’s astonished gaze, scenes unfolded on it—scenes that clearly depicted what had happened at Taiyi Peak earlier.
“Is this the ‘presentation’ ability of the Law of Fate?!” Li Yifeng was stunned.
He had heard that if one fully understood this ability, they could present and predict events from the past, present, and even the future.
“That bunch of Elvish birds from the Elvise family!” Li Yifeng said, watching the scenes on the mirror.
It was the people from the Elvise family who destroyed the Giant Dragon Mountains. Leading them was a twelve-winged angel, who, with a single sword strike, instantly shattered the defense formations of Taiyi Peak and the other peaks.
Seeing the people of Taiyi Peak fall one by one at the hands of the angel’s forces, Huang Long’s expression grew darker. Li Yifeng frowned.
After a while, Huang Long retracted his magic power, and the mirror disappeared. His face was pale—although it was only reproducing what had happened at Taiyi Peak earlier, it still cost him a great deal of energy.
“Brother Huang Long, what do you plan to do next?” Li Yifeng asked after a moment of silence.
“Kill them!” Huang Long replied coldly.
“Kill them?” Li Yifeng was stunned. He opened his mouth but failed to say anything comforting. After a while, he said solemnly, “Brother Huang Long’s matter is my matter too. I’ve always disliked that bird Pei Ji from the Elvise family. When the time comes, I’ll fight alongside you!”
Huang Long’s expression eased slightly.
“But what about Bogge and the others?” Li Yifeng asked.
From the mirror, it seemed that Bogge, Gusta, the orc Nat, the Fat Lion, the Sky Blue Python Ox, and the other twenty-four had fled underground and escaped harm. Yet, seeing them disappear underground on the mirror still shocked Li Yifeng greatly.
“Find them,” Huang Long said, frowning.
Although Bogge and the others had escaped, he was now separated from them, and searching the vast Netherworld wouldn’t be easy.
Originally, Bogge and the others had Huang Long’s jade talismans, but communication through these talismans was only possible within a certain range.
“Then I’ll use the power of the Supreme God’s army then,” Li Yifeng said.
Huang Long thought for a moment before replying, “No need.”

“No need?” Li Yifeng was taken aback, then nodded. “Okay, I understand.” He grasped Huang Long’s meaning—everyone in the Netherworld was currently searching for Huang Long and the others. If he used the power of the Supreme God’s army, the news would surely leak, and the entire Netherworld would know.

However, Huang Long sighed inwardly. He knew this matter couldn’t be hidden for long.

Huang Long raised his hands, and twelve beams of golden light flashed from the ground. In midair, twelve Du Tian Ming Wang Flags appeared. The Twelve Du Tian Sha Shen Formation had been broken, and the flags were now tattered, devoid of spiritual energy, dull and lifeless like scrap metal.

“Are these formation flags?” Li Yifeng asked, looking at the flags in Huang Long’s hands.

Huang Long nodded and sent out a surge of immortal energy with his hands to envelop them.

“That birdman has an incredibly strong attack! He must be at the eighth level of the Ming Wang!” Li Yifeng exclaimed, watching the divine light emanating from the flags.

Although it was only residual divine energy, what came out was still astonishing.

Huang Long frowned. Indeed, even a twelve-winged angel was beyond his current capabilities. Eighth level of the Ming Wang, not seventh! With each level increase for a powerful Ming Wang, their strength didn’t just double or triple.

If even a twelve-winged angel was that strong, what about Elvis’s angel army?

His own strength wasn’t enough.

Huang Long stood there in thought. After a while, he came up with an idea.

The Ancestral Dragon Hall!

He had heard that the Lu Ning family’s headquarters had an Ancestral Dragon Hall, which contained an Ancestral Dragon Pool. The direct descendants of the Lu Ning family, possessing pure dragon blood, would undergo a transformation upon entering the pool, greatly enhancing their strength. So what about him? Huang Long decided to go check it out. If he wanted to boost his strength in the short term, the Ancestral Dragon Pool was his only option.

“Let’s go!” Huang Long said, summoning his flying immortal artifact.

“Brother Huang Long, where are we going now?” Li Yifeng asked.

“To the Nia Continent,” Huang Long replied.

The Lu Ning family’s headquarters was located on the Nia Continent.

“To the Nia Continent?!” Li Yifeng was stunned and blurted out. He couldn’t figure out why Huang Long wanted to go there. Even with top-tier flying artifacts, it would take over a decade to reach the Nia Continent.

“To the Nia Continent,” Huang Long said firmly.

Li Yifeng asked doubtfully, “Brother Huang Long, what are you going to do on the Nia Continent?”

Huang Long pondered for a moment. “I’m going to the Lu Ning family’s headquarters.”

“The Lu Ning family’s headquarters?” Li Yifeng was shocked and looked at Huang Long in surprise. “Are you from the Lu Ning family?”

This time, Huang Long did not speak, which counted as his acceptance. Seeing this, Li Yifeng said nothing more. Huang Long then had his artifact spirit control the top-grade flying immortal artifact to turn it into a streak of light and disappear into the Dragon Mountain Range. After Huang Long and his companions left, the Dragon Mountain Range returned to peace once again. However, this long journey from the Sea Continent to the Nia Continent would take over a decade, so Huang Long needed to first go to Holy Scripture City to purchase a large amount of energy spirit crystals. Based on each trip to the Ancient Forest, which consumed over ten thousand spirit crystals worth hundreds of millions of divine stones, at least three million spirit crystals would be needed for this trip to the Nia Continent. As for money, Huang Long didn’t care. Over these eight hundred years, by reselling primal beasts, the amount of divine stones in his divine cards had reached over twenty trillion—so much that even some direct descendants of major families in the Netherworld might not possess such a sum…

After returning from the Cloud Sea Valley, Saxton and Spine rushed back to the Beikal Family’s headquarters a year later. The Beikal Family’s headquarters was located in the Beikal Mountains of theGale Mansion Mansion -> Gale Mansion Mansion on the Sea Continent. TheGale Mansion Mansion -> Gale Mansion Mansion was the largest among the twenty-some mansions on the Sea Continent, and the Beikal Mountains were the largest range within it, covering tens of millions of square miles—much larger than the original Purple Spirit Mountains. The entire range was named after the Beikal Family. Of course, among the Beikal Family’s trillions of descendants, not all were eligible to live in these mountains. Only some direct descendants of the family and the stewards of its collateral descendants had the right to reside there. The higher one’s status within the family, the closer their residence would be to the highest peak at the heart of the mountains—the Beikal Peak! As seventh-level powerhouses of the Nether King, Saxton and Spine were core disciples among the Beikal Family’s direct descendants. Upon returning, they flew unimpeded all the way to the Beikal Peak before landing. “Elder brother, you’re back!” As soon as they landed, a delicate voice rang out, and a beautiful woman with purple hair, dressed in the attire of a Beikal Family direct descendant, walked over. “It’s Anlise,” Saxton said with a smile upon seeing her. This purple-haired beauty was Saxton’s sister, Anlise, who had been Angus’s last wife on the Hengyuan Continent. “Brother Spine,” Anlise greeted Spine with a bow. Spine replied with a smile, “Sister Anlise.” “Sister, is Father in the main hall?” Saxton asked. “Are you looking for Father?” Anlise was momentarily surprised before smiling sweetly, “Yes, he’s in there, meeting with the elders.”

“Are we meeting with the elders because of the next opening of the Land of Forgetfulness?” Saxton asked.
“Probably, brother. Then go in. I’ll head back to Lijiang Peak first.” After saying that, Anlise turned and left.
Saxton watched his sister’s retreating figure and sighed. “Angus had poor luck; it’s just pitiful for my sister.” Tens of thousands of years ago, Angus had gone on a mission and died in the mortal realm of Hengyuan. The entire upper echelons of the Beikal family were aware of this, except for Anlise alone.
“This can’t be hidden for long. Sister Anlise will eventually find out,” Spine said with a sigh.
Throughout the Beikal family, the delicate-looking Anlise had always inspired pity.
“Let’s hide it as long as we can. We still can’t let her know now; otherwise, she won’t be able to bear the shock.” Saxton frowned. “Let’s go.” With that, he headed toward the main hall of Beikal Peak, with Spine following.
Since the family elders were in a meeting, the two waited outside the main hall.
After a while, they went in after the elders finished their meeting.
Upon seeing Woodlo, they bowed and stood aside.
“Saxton, what brings you to see me?” Woodlo, sitting there with an imposing expression, spoke from inside the main hall.
“Father, we’ve encountered a high-level beast master,” Saxton said solemnly.
“What? A high-level beast master?!” Woodlo, who had initially been indifferent, immediately sat up straight and exclaimed, “What’s going on?!”
High-level beast masters were rare—even within the Beikal family, there were only three, and each of them was a treasure.
So, Saxton and Spine explained the situation. When Woodlo heard that the person in question was not only a high-level beast master but also one who could control over a million mutated beasts, he could no longer sit still and stood up.
“Convene the council of elders!” Woodlo said abruptly after a moment of contemplation.
Saxton and Spine were stunned. The council of elders was only convened for important family matters, such as the opening of the Land of Forgetfulness once every few eras. But now, they were being called just because of a high-level beast master?!
“You don’t realize how terrifying and important high-level beast masters are!” Woodlo said gravely.
“Yes, Father!”
“Yes, Patriarch!”
Before long, the elders who had dispersed from the Beikal family returned to the main hall, puzzled by why Patriarch Woodlo had called them back. But after hearing what Woodlo had heard from Saxton and Spine, they were all stunned silent.
