Chapter 6068: The Ancestral Dragon’s Gaze

It didn’t take long for Long Xue’s aura to vanish, followed by Long Lin.

The aura of the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster vanished last, though that was to be expected given that he was a Heavenly God. It was fortunate that the golden flames had continued blazing even when Long Lin was no longer around.

“I’d expect no less from a true dragon. The power harnessed in its carcass was enough to incinerate a Heavenly God. It’s a pity about that Heavenly God’s origin energies though,” the Heaven-devouring Qilin secretly sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng knew that a Heavenly God’s origin energies were invaluable too, but he didn’t feel regretful as none of his means would have worked against the golden flames. Even his spirit power would have melted right away. It was impossible for him to retrieve the origin energies.

However, he did feel wistful.

He remembered the first time he met Long Lin in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm. Long Lin had been an enigmatic entity to him then, a being whose depth he couldn’t discern.

Looking back, Chu Feng had been a small fry even in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm, and there were countless hurdles standing in his path.

To Long Lin, he would have been less than an ant. Yet, Long Lin never looked down on him. Rather, Long Lin even appreciated him.

They thought that they would never meet again when they parted ways back then, given how huge the world of cultivation was. Long Lin might have appreciated Chu Feng, but he would have never thought that a prodigy in a fallen Lower Realm could have come this far.

Similarly, Chu Feng also hadn’t expected to meet Long Lin again. He also didn’t think that Long Lin had such a story behind him and that his life would come to an end like that.

...

In contrast, the Totem Dragon Clansmen looked nervous.

They were up against a Heavenly God, after all. While the aura of the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster had dissipated, the crowd still dared not let their guard down. Channeling the bloodline formation had greatly weakened them, and many had even fainted from exhaustion.

Even so, some of those who had fainted remained on their feet, looking as if they were still channeling the formation. This reflected their determination to bring down the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster.

Among those who were still holding on, even the powerful Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief had turned as pale as a sheet of paper. His body was trembling, and he struggled to stay on his feet.

It was only when the golden flames dissipated and the crowd verified that Long Lin, Long Xue, and the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster had vanished did they stop channeling the formation.

There was nothing left in the area except for a couple of blackened weapons.

Wang Qiang raised his hand, and a spear flew into his grasp. It was Long Lin’s God Armament, though it was now blackened and had many cracks.

Long Lin and the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster had been carrying many treasures, but their Cosmos Sacks had been scorched by the golden flames. Most of their treasures had been vaporized, though the more resilient God Armaments left a shell behind.

Chu Feng was thinking about collecting Long Lin and Long Xue’s ashes and burying them together, but from the looks of it now, he was still underestimating the prowess of the bloodline formation.

The golden flames Long Lin had released were just a trigger. He couldn’t have unleashed such prowess even when emptying his life force. The golden flames were only formidable due to the bloodline formation’s energy.

“H-h-heavens! Even these God Armaments have c-c-cracked under the golden flames, rendering them unusable!” Wang Qiang exclaimed as he tossed the spear to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng caught the spear before turning to the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief. “Elder Clan Chief, I have a history with Long Lin. May I keep this God Armament for commemoration?”

“Of course!” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief exclaimed as he led his clansmen over. “Young friend Chu Feng, our Totem Dragon Clan owes a lot that we will commemorate you through our records. You can take whatever you like from our Totem Dragon Clan, let alone a scrap God Armament. I can even betroth my daughter to you right away!”

“Father, you...” Long Muxi’s pale face reddened in embarrassment.

“What’s wrong, Muxi? I’m not specifically referring to you,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief replied.

“You...” Long Muxi’s face further reddened.

Long Chengyu laughed heartily by the side.

“You may take Chengyu too if you like,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief added.

“My dear father, Brother Chu Feng is straight, and so am I.” Long Chengyu rolled his eyes.

“I’m just saying.” The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief laughed before turning to Chu Feng again. “Long Lin told me about the cultivation resources, and I agreed. Our Totem Dragon Clan owes you too much. I have prepared a portion for you too.”

He took out a Cosmos Sack and stuffed it to Chu Feng. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission over, “Young friend Chu Feng, the cultivation resources I have prepared for you will be lacking compared to Long Lin’s. Long Lin’s cultivation resources are related to Lord Ancestral Dragon, but I dare not disrespect Lord Ancestral Dragon as much as I’d like to thank you.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine with Long Lin’s gift to you. What’s done is done. He has already disrespected Lord Ancestral Dragon, so let’s just go with it and not let down his goodwill. However, you’ll have to keep this matter a secret.”

Through those words, Chu Feng could feel the goodwill of the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief.

The ancestral dragon’s remains were very important to the Totem Dragon Clan, evident from how the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief had rushed over with his clansmen even though they weren’t done with their preparations.

Under normal circumstances, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief would have never allowed anyone to desecrate the ancestral dragon’s remains. Yet, he implicitly allowed Long Lin to give the cultivation resources he had prepared from the ancestral dragon’s remnants to Chu Feng.

“Thank you, elder,” Chu Feng replied from the bottom of the heart.

He urgently required cultivation resources.

“You don’t have to thank us, Brother Chu Feng. We should be the ones thanking you instead. If not for you, we might have all lost our lives here,” Long Chengyu interjected. “On that topic, how did you and Brother Wang Qiang end up with the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster?”

He was not asking that question because he doubted Chu Feng. He was merely curious about what had happened.

“Ah! The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster’s subordinates are currently in this realm. There are nine rank eight True Dragon World Spiritists and possibly a stronger helper hiding in the shadows. Elders, are you able to deal with them?”

Chu Feng had long deduced that the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster had another helper inside the palace. It was not just because there was an additional formation core around the cauldron in the palace. He had been paying attention to the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster, and it looked like the latter had been secretly communicating with someone else.

It was just that he had no idea who that person was.

“His helpers can’t have reached Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist level no matter how powerful they are, right? Young friend Chu Feng, lead the way. It’s about time to clean up the scum of the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief said.

Anger seethed in his eyes at the mention of the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect. They were the culprits behind the Totem Dragon Clan’s disturbance.

“The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster was too fast. I know the rough directions, but I cannot confirm the exact location,” Chu Feng said.

“We’ll find them. This realm isn’t that big.” The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief harrumphed.

All the conscious Totem Dragon Clan’s experts were mobilized for the search.

One group would be dealing with the traitors in this realm, whereas the other group would be searching for the palace Chu Feng mentioned.

The Totem Dragon Clan’s experts might have been weakened from channeling the bloodline formation, but they were able to easily eradicate the traitors thanks to the absolute advantage in their cultivation levels.

It took some time for them to find the palace. By then, the cauldron and the world spiritists were already gone. Taishi Xingzhong was also nowhere to be found.

In the meantime, Grand Elder Long Shengjun and the chief of the Dragon Flags Nine Warriors, Long Xu, arrived with their respective armies.

Now that the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster was dead, the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect was no longer a match for the Totem Dragon Clan.

Thus, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief declared that they would deal with the traitors another day. For now, they would gather all their forces to attack the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect.

So, the Totem Dragon Clan left behind a small group of experts to guard the ancestral dragon’s forbidden land, whereas the others marched imposingly to the Heavenly Dome Galaxy.

Chu Feng, Wang Qiang, and Bai Yunqing followed them too.

Meanwhile, the ancestral dragon’s remains continued lying inside the ancestral dragon’s forbidden land, as it had done for countless years. Its head continued to emanate tremendous pressure even though it had been reduced to a mere skull, and its eye sockets were so dark and huge that they looked like two enigmatic voids.

But just then, there were small flickers of light in those two voids. They were minuscule, but they resembled eyes. These eyes were looking at Chu Feng and the others as they entered the teleportation formation.

But these flickers only lasted for an instant. No one in the ancestral dragon’s forbidden land noticed the anomaly.
