Chapter 811: Chapter 808: Talking about Dao

"A True Dragon with pure Dragon Blood, even as a young dragon, is immortal. Upon reaching adulthood, it can achieve Supremacy, and when it transforms into a true True Dragon, it can seal the title of Emperor."

"Do you still consider yourself a dragon now?"

Ye Xuan looked at the old Heavenly Dragon with a faint smile.

Given that this guy was still somewhat cooperative, helping him recognize himself early was a good thing.

The shock in the old Heavenly Dragon’s heart lingered long after hearing Ye Xuan’s words.

Rather than being discouraged, it saw the world more clearly.

Looking at Ye Xuan, the old Heavenly Dragon nervously asked, "I have a question. I wonder if you can give me an answer, young master."

"If, as you say, I break and then stand, is there a chance for me to become a True Dragon?"

After asking, the old Heavenly Dragon nervously watched Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "Let me put it this way, if you don’t break and then stand, you will never have a chance, but even after breaking and standing, there might not be a chance. It simply allows you to step into a stronger realm."

"Is that so..." The old Heavenly Dragon had somewhat anticipated this, but still couldn’t conceal a trace of disappointment.

"A word of advice for you." Ye Xuan said calmly.

The old Heavenly Dragon lifted its head, pricking up its ears to listen. It knew this young master’s origins were terrifying, and receiving guidance from such a person would undoubtedly be a great opportunity.

"Many things are not about seeing hope and then making effort, but by making effort, you can see hope." Ye Xuan slowly said, "Once you understand this principle, make your own plans."

After speaking, Ye Xuan turned and left.

He had said what needed to be said, and how much the old Heavenly Dragon could comprehend was up to it.

Throughout these ancient years, he had seen too many with great talent yet sloppy attitudes, and too many without talent but full of hard work and determination.

Some from the former still reached the peak due to their extraordinary talent.

Many from the latter lived ordinary lives, growing old with regret.

But...

This didn’t include everyone.

The vast majority of the former were mediocre, disappearing among the crowd.

Some of the latter shattered their chains of fate, soaring to the peak, dominating throughout the ages.

They used their own efforts to write their legends.

In essence, they had no hope of becoming strong because their talents were truly poor.

But why did a few of them eventually reach the peak?

Because after continuous effort, they saw hope.

After seeing hope, they worked even harder.

Heaven rewards diligence.

Many principles are in books, but very few truly understand them, and even fewer who understand them actually put them into practice.

Few doesn’t mean none.

This is the principle Ye Xuan imparted to the old Heavenly Dragon.

If the old Heavenly Dragon itself was content with the status quo, it could only ever be an Immortal, never becoming a True Dragon.

But if it breaks and then stands, surpassing immortality, it might see a different kind of hope.

Of course, it might not see any at all.

The road is right there, and how it should be traveled depends on each person’s choice.

"Young master, I have decided to take a gamble. If I die, you may come here to take the item from me. If I succeed, I will protect the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty for a hundred years, then follow you!"

The old Heavenly Dragon made up its mind in an instant and said to Ye Xuan’s back.

Ye Xuan did not turn back, waved his hand, and disappeared at the exit of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm.

After Ye Xuan left, the old Heavenly Dragon firmed up its thoughts.

Having lived this long was enough.

Years ago, when the Heavenly Dragon Emperor enlightened it, it was told to guard the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty for at least one million years, and it had already guarded it for over two million years.

But if it succeeds, it will guard another hundred years, repaying the enlightenment of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, and will then follow Ye Xuan.

Of course, if it fails, it will leave its treasures for Ye Xuan and the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

No one knew if it would succeed.

Not even Ye Xuan could decide.

Breaking and then standing, it sounds simple, but doing it is very hard.

You seek nine deaths to one life.

With any misstep, death might come.

At the Heavenly Dragon Well, Xia Wuji and others stood there waiting.

Xia Jiba and others had finished their matters and returned to wait silently.

They had no idea what transpired in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm, so they could only wait.

Buzz————

White light shone, drawing everyone’s attention.

Within the white light, a young man in a black robe appeared.

"Ye Xuan!"

Upon seeing this young man in black robes, everyone cried out, their faces paling drastically.

Ye Xuan had emerged, but the old ancestor hadn’t; did something happen?

No one dared to act rashly.

Ye Xuan casually glanced over everyone, set his sight on East Desolate Island, and rose into the sky.

Xia Wuji, Xia Jiba, and others didn’t dare to stop him, watching Ye Xuan leave.

After Ye Xuan left, they immediately returned to the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm to see what exactly had happened.

"Old Ancestor!"

Seeing the old Heavenly Dragon, Xia Wuji and the others were overjoyed, breathing a huge sigh of relief.

At the same time, they noticed a subtle change in the old Heavenly Dragon’s aura.

It seemed... much older?

The old Heavenly Dragon saw Xia Wuji and the others enter and nodded slightly, saying, "Notify everyone that from today on, no one should disturb me. After eighty-one days, come to my Dragon Pool to check the situation."

There was some confusion among the crowd.

The old Heavenly Dragon said softly, "If I die in the Dragon Pool, do not announce it, but you need to find Young Master Ye Xuan, let him retrieve my corpse, take what’s left, or don’t take if nothing’s left, and remember not to be enemies with Young Master Ye Xuan."

"Of course, if after eighty-one days I emerge from the Dragon Pool myself, disregard everything I said before."

"Do you all understand?"

The old Heavenly Dragon looked at the group.

Xia Wuji and Xia Jiba looked at each other.

They roughly understood what the old ancestor meant.

But why must Ye Xuan take over if the old ancestor dies?

Xia Jiba directly asked, "Old Ancestor, what is the origin of this Ye Xuan?"

Everyone looked at the old Heavenly Dragon, full of questions.

Even though they knew Ye Xuan was not to be provoked, they couldn’t trace his origins.

The old Heavenly Dragon’s aura became sharp, and it said solemnly, "Erase all information about Young Master Ye Xuan, do not investigate, otherwise the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty will face a catastrophic disaster."

"I can tell you clearly, in today’s world of East Desolate, whoever stands in Young Master Ye Xuan’s way will meet only death!"

"No one can stop him?" Xia Wuji and others turned pale with fright.

"No one can stop him!" The old Heavenly Dragon said solemnly, "Even the recently returned Sword Tomb, Sun Swallowing Sect, Dragon Burying Court, Southern Saber Mountain’s Zhu Family might not be able to stop him..."

Xia Wuji and others were immensely shocked, and could not forget it for a long time.
