CHAPTER 74: CHAPTER 74: FIVE-COLORED DRAGON CARP, SNATCHING ANCESTORS?

THUMP!

A huge, multicolored figure suddenly fell in front of Big Black Horse, lay down on the ground, and spoke in human tones, "Thank you for your help, kind sir!"

"Don’t thank me; it’s what the Master ordered!"

Big Black Horse quickly shook his head, grinning with his big white teeth.

"Is that a carp?"

Everyone took a closer look and realized that the creature lying on the ground was a multicolored carp measuring twenty to thirty meters long.

This giant carp was golden yellow, enveloped in a shimmering, multicolored glow. Two golden whiskers, each about three to seven meters long, grew from its mouth, gleaming brightly.

"Is... is this a carp that’s reached the Sixth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm?"

Jun Moxiao stared wide-eyed, a look of disbelief plastered on his childish face.

"Which of you is the Master?"

The massive Five-Colored Dragon Carp rolled about on the ground, its big eyes darting back and forth between Luo Li, Jun Moxiao, and Su Wanyi.

These three humans... They must also possess the Dragon God Bloodline, giving it a feeling of particular closeness. But it didn’t dare get too close. Because the Dragon God Bloodlines of these three were even nobler than its own, instilling in it a sense of submission.

"Don’t look at me. The Ancestor is in the carriage!"

Seeing that the giant fish was staring at him, Jun Moxiao quickly gestured, his face somewhat embarrassed.

A fish measuring dozens of meters writhing on the ground... The scene was quite bizarre. It wouldn’t have seemed so out of place if it were swimming in water.

Carriage?

The Five-Colored Dragon Carp heard what Jun Moxiao said, twisted its body, and looked at the carriage.

It had scanned the black carriage with its Divine Sense earlier and found no one inside. Could there really be someone in there? Though skeptical, it contemplated for a few seconds before twisting its body and crawling towards the carriage.

The ever-ostentatious Big Black Cat finally couldn’t help but say, "Hey, big fish, you should be able to take on human form, right? Hurry up and transform! The ground is about to be rubbed bald by you!"

"HAHA, big fish, you better transform quickly! Otherwise, there won’t be any hair left on Lord Earth’s head!"

Big Black Horse snorted in agreement, perfectly in sync with Big Black Cat.

Truly a pair of living treasures... Ye Yun thought, watching them with a slight smile.

He lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out.

"This..."

The Five-Colored Dragon Carp was suddenly taken aback by the sight of Ye Yun, dressed in white like an ethereal immortal, and its mind erupted as if a volcano had awakened.

At that very instant, it felt an unparalleled suppression from his bloodline. It was as if... it wasn’t a human standing before it, but a true Divine Dragon. And not just any ordinary Divine Dragon, but one of the most formidable Super Divine Dragons of ancient times!

The Five-Colored Dragon Carp lineage was a collateral branch of the Divine Dragons. The Dragon God Bloodline within its body was exceedingly thin, and its inherited memories were scarce. Therefore, it truly couldn’t connect Ye Yun with the Ancestor Dragon. It could only guess he was one of the Ten Super Divine Dragons beneath the Ancestor Dragon.

WHOOSH!

With a sudden twist of its body and a flash of light, it transformed into a young man.

Dressed in a multicolored dragon robe, with refined features and an extraordinary bearing, he was remarkably imposing.

THUD. The young man knelt on the ground, his face filled with excitement, and began kowtowing repeatedly, "Greetings, Ancestor!"

Ancestor? Jun Moxiao, Luo Li, and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Has this big fish lost its mind? How dare it try to snatch away their Dragon God Sect’s Ancestor? This is simply too outrageous! The three of them fumed internally, their gazes towards the Five-Colored Dragon Carp turning unfriendly.

"Big fish! You can’t just claim anyone as your ancestor!"

The Big Black Cat also abruptly stood up, glaring at the youth with annoyance as it spoke.

Master— That’s a god! And this youth is merely a Five-Colored Dragon Carp, possessing only a diluted bloodline of the ancient Five-Colored Divine Dragon. With such mediocre aptitude, he wants to acknowledge Master, a divine being, as his ancestor? Where in the world could one find such a good deal? The Big Black Cat had always considered itself shameless, but even it felt its hide wasn’t nearly as thick as this Five-Colored Dragon Carp’s! Otherwise, it wouldn’t have clung to Uncle Ma’s sturdy leg back then; it should have aimed for Master’s leg. But how could it dare? The leg of a god wasn’t something one could simply embrace. It wasn’t qualified.

"Ancestors shouldn’t be carelessly acknowledged. I am a Human Cultivator, and you are of the Demon Clan..."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and waved his sleeve. A surge of mana promptly lifted the youth from the ground.

His body carried the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline. The concentration of the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline had reached more than 99% and was infinitely close to the Body of the Ancestral Dragon.

Any member of the Dragon Clan, or any lifeform possessing Dragon Clan Bloodline, would feel an intense bloodline suppression upon seeing him.

Under this bloodline suppression, they couldn’t harbor the slightest thought of resistance.

In ancient times, when the Ancestor Dragon appeared, it suppressed all eras and commanded the world. None of the scaled races dared to disobey.

"You must be our Ancestor; I feel I cannot be wrong..."

The youth stood on the ground, a miserable expression on his face, constantly wiping his tears with his sleeve.

He felt incredibly wronged at this moment. He, too, possessed a trace of the Five-Colored Divine Dragon’s bloodline; the bloodline resonance between Divine Dragons couldn’t be mistaken... For someone like him, who possessed the Five-Colored Divine Dragon bloodline, to feel such an urge to submit—aside from the legendary Ten Super Divine Dragons, the youth truly couldn’t imagine who else it could be. In his heart, the white-robed Master before him might be one of the Ten Super Divine Dragons. But in the ancient war, all Ten Super Divine Dragons had perished. Thus, he had no idea of the true identity of the white-robed Master before him.

...

Ye Yun looked at the youth and asked with a smile, "There shouldn’t be many Five-Colored Dragon Carp left on the Cangnan Continent now, should there?"

Upon hearing these words, the youth felt even more grief-stricken, and his tears flowed even faster.

"Master..."

Emulating the Big Black Cat’s address, the youth called out to Ye Yun and cried as he said, "Our lineage of Five-Colored Dragon Carp has dwindled from tens of thousands to just twenty or thirty..."

"You still have clan members?"

Ye Yun’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he asked casually.

"Yes, Master!"

The youth continued to lament, "We now all live at the bottom of the Canglan River. The remnants of an ancient formation, left behind by an ancient sect, afford us sanctuary there..."

Hearing this, Ye Yun nodded.

He had initially thought this was a lone Five-Colored Dragon Carp. He hadn’t expected it to have an entire clan living at the bottom of the Canglan River.

The Canglan River was not far from here, approximately twenty to thirty thousand miles away.

Ye Yun, looking at the distant lake, calmly said, "There is a Seven-Colored Golden Lotus at the bottom of this lake. Has someone from your Five-Colored Dragon Carp clan been injured?"

The youth was momentarily stunned.

However, he quickly came to his senses. This god-like, white-robed Master had an incredibly sharp gaze. He had seen at once that this Seven-Colored Golden Lotus was not something *he* lacked.

Thinking this, the youth quickly said, "Master, our Clan Leader has been seriously injured for many years and has always lacked the sacred medicine needed for healing. I searched for a hundred years and finally discovered a Seven-Colored Golden Lotus at the bottom of the lake on Cloud Dream Mountain. I didn’t expect that before it could even mature, I would encounter these members of the Yu Mo Sect..."

As he finished speaking, the youth looked at the corpses lying on the ground, a strong hatred showing in his eyes.
