Chapter 2896 Unsealing the Dragon Clan
"Junior Lu Ye greets the Third Ancestor!" Lu Ye bowed respectfully.
If you really count them, looking at the entire dragon clan, the person in front of him is probably the most senior besides Yang Qing.
Moreover, he should be the first dragon to seal himself within the ancestral abyss's forbidden barrier.
If dragons weren't inherently long-lived, they would never have survived to this day.
Yang Lie nodded slightly: "I can sense the purity of the dragon vein within you. It seems you have some affinity with my clan?"
Lu Ye replied, "A few years ago, I obtained a drop of my ancestor's true blood in the Dragon Pool, which is how I acquired the body of a dragon vein."
"I see..." Yang Lie understood. As he spoke, his divine sense swept across the entire Ancestral Abyss Restriction and he was slightly surprised: "There are already so many clansmen here? It seems I have been asleep for too long."
When he first came in, he was all alone, and he knew nothing about what happened afterward.
However, judging from the number of people gathered here, the length of his slumber is probably impossible to estimate.
Turning to Lu Ye, Yang Lie asked, "What's the situation outside now?"
The moment he saw Lu Ye, he knew that the person before him was the one his clan had been waiting for according to their ancestral teachings. Now, after countless years, the person they had been waiting for had appeared and helped him burn away some of the corrosive power and regain his intelligence. This meant that there must be a major change in the outside world.
"I was just about to explain to you, senior," Lu Ye began, "A few years ago, there were changes in Star Abyss, and the Inner Realm and the Outer Realm began to merge..."
As Lu Ye slowly explained, he briefly recounted the various changes that had taken place in Xingyuan in recent years, and then mentioned that the Origin Realm was about to merge and return, a half-saint powerhouse was coming to Xingyuan, and the consciousness of the Abyss was about to be fully awakened.
Yang Lie frowned deeply, his expression grave: "When the Three Realms unite, the Nine Evils will emerge, karmic fire will burn the heart, and all laws will return to nothingness... The ancestor's prophecy is about to come true."
Lu Ye's heart stirred upon hearing this.
The merging of the three realms undoubtedly refers to the fusion of the outer realm, the inner realm, and the source realm. The entire Star Abyss was originally one, but it was divided into three layers by that person's methods, and Lu Ye also contributed to this.
But no matter how amazing the method, it will eventually fail.
And those nine evil beings... should refer to the nine true saints.
As for the scene of karmic fire burning the heart and all laws returning to nothingness, that is undoubtedly the scene after Yuan completely controls the entire universe.
“I roughly understand the situation.” Yang Lie pondered for a moment. “So you have come here to help our clansmen break the seal and allow us to advance to the level of half-saint, so that we can cope with the great calamity to come.”
“Exactly!” Lu Ye nodded.
"I was wondering why I felt my own shackles loosening; it turns out the time for my tribulation had come."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye asked, "Should the Third Ancestor break through immediately?"
Yang Lie shook his head and said, "Within the Ancestral Abyss Restriction, my true form cannot break through; I must leave this place."
Lu Ye then remembered that the Ancestral Abyss Restriction had a great suppressive effect on the dragon vein. Although Yang Lie had regained his intelligence, he was having great difficulty moving around in this place. How could he possibly break through his own limits?
Unless Lu Ye continuously protects the other party with the power of the Talent Tree.
But Lu Ye still had to rescue other dragons, so he didn't have the spare energy.
Or, as before, he could open a gap in the Ancestral Abyss's restriction and let Yang Lie leave first. But if he did that, the suppressed mad dragons would definitely riot again, and he would have to repair the gap again.
That's far too much trouble.
"No rush!" As if seeing what Lu Ye was thinking, Yang Lie said, "We've waited for so many years, there's no need to rush. Let me help you rescue the other clansmen first."
Just as Lu Ye was about to agree, a thought suddenly struck him: "Third Ancestor, I may have a place where you can cultivate."
"What do you mean?" Yang Lie asked, puzzled.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then said, "Third Ancestor, please do not resist. I don't know if this method will work, but let's give it a try!"
As he said this, he reached out and grabbed at Yang Lie.
Yang Lie remained motionless and did not resist, which undoubtedly showed him absolute trust in Lu Ye.
With this grab, the void rippled, and Yang Lie vanished in an instant.
Lu Ye immediately raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of delight.
It really works! He had only tried it casually, but he never expected it to actually succeed.
At this moment, in a world devoid of any living creatures, only flowers and plants, Yang Lie suddenly appeared. He stood amidst a vibrant sea of flowers, looking around, but could not find Lu Ye anywhere.
A sense of doubt arose within him, and he softly called out, "Young man Lu Ye?"
The next moment, a phantom figure appeared in front of him. It was Lu Ye, but Yang Lie could tell at a glance that this was not Lu Ye's real body, but a projection of his divine sense.
"Where is this?" Yang Lie asked.
He was clearly in the cage of the Ancestral Abyss's restrictions just now, how did he end up here in the blink of an eye? Even he didn't notice anything amiss.
“Third Ancestor, this is my inner world,” Lu Ye explained.
"What is the inner world?" Yang Lie asked, puzzled. Even with his extensive knowledge, he had never heard of anything called the inner world.
Lu Ye said, "Our ancestors passed down a wonderful technique within the restrictions of the Ancestral Abyss. I gained some insights during my last visit and used this technique to cultivate the secret method of the Inner World, creating a world within my own body. This is the Inner World."
The original form of the Inner World was the Little Flower Realm, which was capable of containing living beings. Lu Ye had done this in his early years in Kyushu, but due to his limited cultivation, there were limitations on the number and cultivation level of the living beings he could contain.
After practicing the secret techniques of the small world, this characteristic is undoubtedly amplified.
The higher the level of the secret techniques of the small world, the more the inner world resembles a complete world. If that's the case, it's not surprising that Yang Lie could be taken in.
Yang Lie was astonished: "A secret technique passed down from our ancestors!" Upon closer inspection, his expression changed even more: "A Dao trace!"
He hadn't noticed much before, but now he clearly sensed that this so-called inner world contained an astonishing number of Dao traces.
It is important to know that Dao traces are the foundation of a cultivator's strength. Every cultivator who has their own Dao body will choose to continue advancing on the path of inscribing Dao traces.
The more Dao marks a Dao body has, the stronger it is.
There are even traces of the Dao within this inner world. Doesn't that mean that this is the foundation of Lu Ye's strength?
In his perception, the number of Dao traces here was far more than several thousand.
He vaguely recalled how he felt when Lu Ye casually struck him, and immediately realized that Lu Ye's strength was probably beyond his imagination.
"Third Ancestor, is it permissible to cultivate here?" Lu Ye asked.
If his inner world allows, Yang Lie can advance and break through immediately.
Yang Lie composed himself and sensed it briefly: "It is possible, but there is no Dao power within this inner world..."
“That’s easy.” As Lu Ye spoke, he took out a large number of Dao fish.
Thanks to Blood Abyss's contribution, this half-saint of the vampire clan brought all his wealth with him when he came from the Origin Realm. In the Origin Realm, the vampire clan already possessed the most abundant resources, and after countless years of accumulation, Blood Abyss's legacy was practically as rich as a country.
Now that they are all in Lu Ye's hands, taking out some to give to Yang Lie for his breakthrough is just a drop in the ocean.
"That's enough!" Yang Lie's spirits lifted. After countless years of slumber, he had finally awaited this day. With his foundation, advancing to the level of a half-saint in the current environment was a piece of cake.
"Then the third generation ancestor can cultivate here in peace. After I rescue the other clansmen, I will take you out." After Lu Ye finished speaking, he withdrew his divine sense.
Within the Ancestral Abyss Restriction, Lu Ye quickly arrived before the second dragon.
This dragon was in the same situation as Yang Lie before. Although it maintained its huge dragon body, it remained motionless like a sculpture, clearly in a state of suppression.
Instead of immediately unsealing it, Lu Ye first took out a jade slip, used his divine sense to inscribe a message into it, and then began to work.
Many dragons are sealed here and know nothing about the outside world. Lu Ye doesn't want to give them a long talk every time he rescues one.
Why not just record all the information and intelligence that needs to be told to them into a jade slip? That way, we can simply hand the jade slip to them and let them investigate on their own.
Driven by the power of the Talent Tree, several days later, the second dragon's intelligence awakened.
Like Yang Lie, after sleeping for many years, this dragon was a little slow to react upon awakening. However, after receiving the jade slip from Lu Ye and finding out the situation, he immediately knew what to do.
And so, another dragon joined Lu Ye's inner world.
In the days that followed, Lu Ye traveled to various places within the Ancestral Abyss's restrictions, unsealing one dragon after another and storing them in his inner world.
He did have some interactions with the various dragons; some of them were quite lively and would chat with Lu Ye for a while.
It was only then that Lu Ye realized that not all the dragons who had sealed themselves here were Dragon Lords. In fact, only a small portion of them were Dragon Lords, while the majority were elders from the past generations of the dragon race.
Although these elders do not have the title of Dragon Lord, their strength is extraordinary, and they are qualified to appoint themselves here.
The number of dragons in the inner world gradually increased, yet it remained peaceful.
For every dragon that is taken into the inner world, Lu Ye will give them a portion of the Dao Fish to help them cultivate and break through.
Several months passed in the blink of an eye, until one day, Lu Ye unsealed the last dragon in the cage and sent it into the inner world, thus bringing this matter to a close.
Standing within the Ancestral Abyss's restrictions, Lu Ye scanned the area with his divine sense. The cage, which had once been filled with traces of dragons, was now completely empty.
The profound methods left behind by the Dragon and Phoenix ancestors have finally come to an end.
However, Lu Ye had no intention of destroying it. After all, it was left behind by that person, and it would take some effort to destroy it.
Staying here might be useful in the future.
Just like when he entered, Lu Ye opened a gap in the Ancestral Abyss's restriction and calmly walked out.
Thus, he successfully achieved his second objective in entering the Tower of Time.
Having reached a bottleneck in his own cultivation, and with all the powerful dragons of the past generations having entered their inner worlds, it's time for him to depart.
Lu Ye took out the ancestral dragon scale he had brought in earlier and softly said, "Tower Spirit, I want to leave!" (End of Chapter)
