1883: The Dragon Dao Pond

The Dragon Dao Pond

"The Four Nine Immortal Sect?" Kun Gu's expression faltered upon hearing this before murmuring, "Was the name decided on based on the great number of derivation, forty-nine?"1

"That is indeed the case…" An Lin nodded with a smile.

Kun Gu's heart tremored upon receiving confirmation. "That's brilliant! The human race isn't one of the three main tribes of the Realm of Stars, but they certainly have their strong points. I've always thought that this was an extraordinary race, but I didn't think that they would be so powerful in another universe!"

An Lin knew that Kun Gu was trying to curry his favor with that backhanded compliment, and he gave a knowing smile.

All of a sudden, two powerful Dao Integration Stage True Dragons flew over from the distance.

One of the True Dragons was entirely crimson in color with clouds of fire around its body and claws of that were of a dazzling golden color.

The other was a snowy-white True Dragon with a lithe and elegant body. Its blue eyes gave one a sense of serenity, and an iridescent light shimmered along its body as it flew through the air.

"Kun Gu, this is the Senior you were referring to that defeated the Ancient Tribe Army?" The white dragon had a very pleasant and gentle female voice, causing the listener to instinctively drop their guard around her.

"That's right. This Senior also saved us by chance." Kun Gu bowed his head slightly as a gesture of respect toward the two dragons.

He then turned to An Lin and Xu Xiaolan before making an introduction. "These two True Dragons are two of the three guardian deities of the Dragon Origin Star, Chi Yu and Bai Xue."

An Lin could sense that both of these True Dragons were at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage with extremely pure bloodlines. Even though their cultivation base was quite similar to Kun Gu's, they were most likely much more powerful.

"Seeing as that is the case, then Mr. An Lin is a friend of our Azure Dragon Tribe. We will try to fulfill all of your needs," Bai Xue said in a gentle voice. Her voice was still very pleasant and enticing, but she was speaking to An Lin as an equal rather than mirroring Kun Gu's attitude.

"Thank you, Ms. Bai Xue." An Lin smiled.

"Our Azure Dragon Tribe possesses unimaginable resources to other tribes. In particular, we have an extensive amount of information on the geography of the Realm of Stars, so you do not need to worry." Chi Yu's voice was deeper, and it was tinged with warmth and enthusiasm.

They already knew why An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were here, but they weren't defensive at all. Instead, they treated An Lin and Xu Xiaolan like old friends from the get-go. Of course, this could be due to the fact that there were some hidden weapons on the Dragon Origin Star that made it unnecessary for them to be fearful or cautious toward the two of them.

The Dragon Origin Star presented a very harsh environment, but it was very big.

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and the three True Dragons had to travel tens of thousands of kilometers before arriving at a gargantuan basin. The basin had an altitude discrepancy of over ten kilometers compared to the plains around it, and it also stretched for over ten kilometers in width. Within the basin were all types of mountains, lush forests, picturesque lakes, and many other beautiful landmarks to behold.

Xu Xiaolan's eyes narrowed slightly in surprise. "There are so many Dragon Tribe living beings here. There are over a million of them in this basin. Is this a dragon nest…"

"That's right, and not only is this a dragon nest, it's also the core region of our Azure Dragon Tribe. All of the dragons here are the most powerful dragons among the Azure Dragon Tribe…" Bai Xue explained with a smile.

An Lin unleashed his divine sense to scan through the dragons down below, upon which his expression shifted slightly. There were over seven hundred thousand Spirit Nurturing Stage dragons, over fifty thousand Soul Formation Stage dragons, over three hundred Return to Void Stage dragons, and sixteen Dao Integration Stage True Dragons including Kun Gu, Bai Xue, and Chi Yu.

They were powerful enough to easily crush the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas!

Even the Western Dragon Tribe was completely no match for this Azure Dragon Tribe. There really was no comparison.

Furthermore, one had to realize that the dragons within the basin were only the core force on the Dragon Origin Star. What about the dragons distributed over the other seventeen subsidiary stars?

As such, the Azure Dragon Tribe probably had several dozen Dao Integration Stage True Dragons and over a thousand Return to Void Stage mighty figures. This was the most powerful force he had ever seen aside from the Heaven Crushing Sect.

An Lin could also sense some energy fluctuations emanating from the realm of colorful cloud and mist in the center of the basin that struck fear into even his heart. This was probably what Bai Xue and Chi Yu were relying on to combat An Lin and Xu Xiaolan if they were to do anything out of line, thereby giving them the confidence to lead them into even the core region of the Azure Dragon Tribe.

As they flew through the air, Xu Xiaolan suddenly let loose a gentle moan as her bloodline was stirred up by an invisible force. Her eyes gradually turned golden in color, and dragon scales as intricate and beautiful as golden jade involuntarily appeared on her snowy-white skin.

"Oh? Ms. Xu Xiaolan also possesses Dragon Tribe bloodline?" Bai Xue was quite surprised to see this.

"And this is an extremely pure bloodline! She has succeeded in her Dao Integration!" Chi Yu exclaimed as he waved his claws, "A mix between human and dragon bloodlines? This is the first time I've ever seen a human integrate the dao of dragons."

An Lin smiled but did not say anything. They were going to be even more surprised if they learned about how Xiaolan was the first human to successfully integrate the dao of the Vermilion Bird and the dao of the True Dragon at the same time.

Bai Xue smiled. "Seeing as Ms. Xu Xiaolan possesses the True Dragon bloodline, we can be considered to be relatives. As such, we can open up the Dragon Dao Pond to you."

"Dragon Dao Pond?" Xu Xiaolan was confused. "What's that?"

Chi Yu explained with a proud expression, "That is a holy land the entire Realm of Stars yearns for. The water in the pond contains the paramount dao intent of our Dragon Tribe. It is said that our Patriarch Azure Dragon attained dao in the Dragon Dao Pond and ascended to attain his Holy Berth…

"The Dragon Dao Pond only allows entry to Dao Integration Stage True Dragons, and there is only one slot available per century… This means that it will take a cycle of several thousand years for all of the True Dragons in the Azure Dragon Tribe to access the Dragon Dao Pond. As for how much enlightenment they can attain, that will be decided by their luck and aptitude.

"You two have saved countless ice and frost dragons and slain two of our tribe's most powerful enemies. As such, I can grant special entry for Ms. Xu Xiaolan into the Dragon Dao Pond."

"That's great! Thank you, Ms. Bai Xue, Mr. Chi Yu!" Xu Xiaolan was very elated to hear this.

She had been attracted to this place by her Vermilion Bird bloodline, but who would have thought that she would have a chance to attain enlightenment in her True Dragon dao first?

An Lin turned toward his sea of vital energy to discover that the little black dragon was in even more of a frenzied state, looking as if it wanted to crash its way out of his sea of vital energy.
