Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!-Chapter 459 - 350 Can You Knock Like This? _2
Who in the Dragon Clan wouldn't want the inheritance of the Devouring Ancient Dragon?
Obtaining it meant the possibility of becoming the second Devouring Ancient Dragon.
Li Cheng was fully aware that the First Elder also wanted it, the reason he agreed to the first two conditions was because he wanted to secure the inheritance for himself.
But since the inheritance had already been given to the Dragon Emperor, Li Cheng must ensure that the Dragon Emperor naturally became the successor recognized by the Dragon Clan.
Otherwise, even if the Dragon Emperor were to refine it, he'd likely be besieged by these Divine Emperor Realm powerhouses of the Dragon Clan.
Especially by the First Elder.
Once again, the First Elder fell silent, he certainly desired it and would definitely think of ways to make Li Cheng hand it over.
Suddenly, the First Elder glanced at Wushuan, could it be that Li Cheng intended to hand over the Devouring Ancient Dragon inheritance to Wushuan?
Contemplating this, the First Elder believed that with Wushuan's strength, he could easily take her down in secret, and even if she received the inheritance, he could refine it out of her.
By then, the inheritance would still be his!
With this thought, the First Elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're assessing candidates on Dragon Island, there must be a time limit, right?"
Li Cheng thought for a moment and nodded, "Within a thousand years!"
In a thousand years, the Dragon Emperor would surely have completed the fusion, becoming the Devouring Ancient Dragon and might even have stepped into the Divine Emperor's Realm.
"Good! I, on behalf of the Dragon Clan, accept this!"
The First Elder didn't hesitate and actually agreed readily.
"Since that's the case, I hope the First Elder will implement the first two conditions as soon as possible!" Li Cheng said.
"No, once you have chosen the candidate and handed over the inheritance, I will personally lead the Elders to the Divine Court, personally apologize to the Wan Race of the Divine Realm, and announce the opening of Dragon Island and so on," said the First Elder. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Before that, I can't be sure whether you really have the bloodline inheritance, so naturally, I can't fulfill the promises!" the First Elder stated.
Li Cheng looked at the First Elder and remained silent.
The First Elder continued, "Is it not so? What if my Dragon Clan fulfills the first two conditions, but you can't produce the bloodline inheritance? Wouldn't the Dragon Clan have been deceived?"
"If you want the Dragon Clan to fulfill the promises earlier, then choose a candidate sooner and hand over the bloodline inheritance. As for me, I will now go to persuade the Elders."
Having said that, the First Elder's figure disappeared, and the constrained space and time returned to normal.
Li Cheng wasn't in a rush to claim the thirteen Elders and the more than a hundred Divine Venerables he had captured.
Li Cheng's brows relaxed, well then, just wait until the Dragon Emperor has absorbed the bloodline inheritance, and then he could hold the First Elder to his promise!
As for now, he would certainly roam Dragon Island under the guise of an inspection!
"Is there really the bloodline inheritance of the Devouring Ancient Dragon?" As soon as the First Elder disappeared, Wushuan quickly asked.
Li Cheng slightly nodded, "Of course, there is, but I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't give it to you."
Wushuan shook her head, "The inheritance of the Devouring Ancient Dragon should be handed over to the future of the Dragon Clan, to a Divine Dragon who can lead the Dragon Clan. Obviously, I am not that kind of talent. I'm well aware of my own limitations."
Li Cheng smiled, "Then take me around Dragon Island, that would be good for selecting candidates."
Wushuan nodded, "I'd be delighted!"
Not long after the two left, the First Elder reappeared, frowning and saying, "Not giving it to Wushuan? Is he really planning to choose a candidate?"
Delaying time? Obviously not, after all, the sooner he handed over the bloodline inheritance, the sooner the Dragon Clan could keep their promises.
Could it be that he really intended to pick a suitable candidate to inherit the Devouring Ancient Dragon's inheritance?
The First Elder's frown deepened, and after a long while, it relaxed, "Well then, no matter who it ends up with, it will ultimately be mine!"
As Li Cheng followed Wushuan, he suddenly realized that his journey here might just be within his father's expectations!
His father likely knew that he could find the Devouring Ancient Dragon's inheritance and use it to influence the Dragon Clan.
And the reason he knew all this might be due to the Eight Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod.
The Eight Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod was handed over to me by my father, and it was quite possible that my father had used the Tripod to make calculations, which is why he had me come to Dragon Island.
I just don't know if my father would be satisfied with such a beating.
Glancing at the Divine World, I saw that the Dragon Emperor and Ao Qianchi were still refining those bloodline powers; they clearly wouldn't emerge from seclusion anytime soon.
"Li Cheng, shall we start the inspection with the Dragon Emperor Clan?" Wushuang asked.
Li Cheng cleared his throat and said, "Is there a place where the Gold, Wood, and Water Laws converge? Such places must attract a lot of talented members of the Dragon Clan who are cultivating. Why don't we start there?"
Looking for such places was, of course, for comprehending Laws. As for the inspection, that was just to bluff the First Elder and now it seemed I had to bluff Wushuang too.
Now, my grasp on Time, Space, Fire, Earth, and Confucianism Path Laws is Complete. I still lack Gold, Wood, Water, and Devouring to reach Complete mastery of nine kinds of Laws. The rule of Devouring is not urgent, since I can use it as a cover to wander Dragon Island and of course, look for treasures.
"There indeed is such a place. The closest one is the Water Dragon Clan. The Water Law is exceptionally intense at their Holy Land, and indeed, many Divine Dragons who mainly cultivate the Water Law have gathered there."
Although Wushuang was puzzled by Li Cheng's request, she didn't think much of it and took him towards the Water Dragon Clan.
Li Cheng, watching Wushuang leading the way, worried about how he would explain himself to her later.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a Dragon Palace deep under the sea. Li Cheng marveled at the sight before him; the Dragon Palace depicted on television couldn't compare at all.
"We've seen the Princess!"
The guards in front of the Dragon Palace were not shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but Divine Dragons. Seeing Wushuang, they all saluted in unison.
Wushuang waved her hand, "By the command of the First Elder, I've brought this Divine Venerable here for inspection. Immediately inform the Eighth Elder; he will know."
The Eighth Elder was the Clan Leader of the Water Dragon vein.
The two Divine Dragons did not dare to delay and acted at once.
It was not long before the Eighth Elder, looking to be over eighty years old, came personally to greet us. "The arrival of Divine Venerable Li is fortunate for our Water Dragon vein. Please, come in quickly!"
The Eighth Elder's face was full of smiles. The news of the inheritance of the Devouring Ancient Dragon had already been communicated to them by the First Elder; after all, such a matter could not be kept secret. The First Elder simply informed all the Elders about Li Cheng's request.
However, the Eighth Elder did not expect that Li Cheng's first stop would be his own vein!
If Li Cheng took a liking to a member of his vein, wouldn't it mean that the inheritance of the Devouring Ancient Dragon would fall into the hands of his own vein?
Thus, the Water Dragon vein would surely become the overlord of the entire Dragon Clan!
Therefore, the Eighth Elder personally came to greet them, having already decided in his heart that he would meet any request Li Cheng had!
The Eighth Elder welcomed both of us into the Dragon Palace with a smile that never faded, "Divine Venerable Li, I have already prepared a banquet for you. It's not every day we have the honor of your visit. You must try the unique delicacies of our Water Dragon vein!"
Li Cheng had anticipated this and smiled, "I've heard that there is a cultivation Holy Land here, with many talents practicing within. May I have a look?"
Banquets and such were trivial; going straight to the cultivation Holy Land was perfect.
The Eighth Elder's eyebrows twitched subtly. That was the Water Dragon vein's cultivation Holy Land, how could they let a member of the Human Tribe enter?
"Well... It's a rule passed down from our ancestors that outsiders are not allowed into the Holy Land," the Eighth Elder sighed.
However, the Eighth Elder's tone changed, and he smiled again, "But Divine Venerable Li is no outsider. Clearly part of our own, please, I will take you there myself!"
Naturally, the Eighth Elder could guess that Li Cheng was going to the cultivation Holy Land very likely for cultivation, and as for the inspection, perhaps that was just incidental.
The Holy Land of the Water Dragon vein appeared to be in a deep-sea trench, enveloped by a Formation that keeps the seawater out. The trench, spanning tens of thousands of miles within the Formation, was like an impregnable moat.
"Here we are. Any member of the Dragon Clan willing to comprehend the Water Law may enter. Currently, there are just over two hundred individuals cultivating inside. If Divine Venerable Li finds them disruptive, I can have them leave," the Eighth Elder said cheerfully.
Concerning the inheritance of the bloodline of the Devouring Ancient Dragon, a mere cultivation Holy Land was nothing—what couldn't they offer up for Li Cheng's use?
Li Cheng clasped his fists, "The Elder is jesting; I'll just take a look inside on my own. There's no need to call everyone out."
"I'll wait for you outside too!" Wushuang said.
Li Cheng smiled at Wushuang, her use of the word 'too' was timely. With this, the Eighth Elder wouldn't follow me into the Holy Land.
Indeed, the Eighth Elder cheerfully said, "Then please, Divine Venerable Li, proceed with your inspection. The Princess and I will wait for you here!"
Li Cheng clasped his fists, turned, and entered the Holy Land. "Settlement!"
