As Ian removed the armor that covered his entire left arm and elbow, a pale cyan glow suddenly lit up, like a bright moon rising in the dim ashram, illuminating their faces.

The young man's left arm has crystallized, but it does not look hideous, but has a peculiar beauty, like an artist carved an arm out of crystal, and there is light flowing in those shining cyan crystal checkered lines, reflecting the muscle lines and blood vessels in the arm.

After showing this arm, even the Elder of the Cliff, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, couldn't help but tremble slightly, and almost gasped.

But he calmed down, shook his head, and said to Ian in a self-calming voice, "I can ...... Do you want to take a serious look? ”

"Please."

Ian happily agreed, and he handed the aether crystallized arm to the old man, and the cliff elder took a few deep breaths, then closed his eyes and opened them.

Crack-like silver vertical pupils lit up in his green eyes, and the old man carefully looked at the crystallized arm in front of him like a work of art.

"My awakened dragon blood is reflected in the dragon's horns and eyes, and they have extended my lifespan, increased my ability to manipulate essentia, and I can see many things that humans can't see."

While observing, the old man explained to Ian, "But I awakened too late, I am too old, if it were a young man like you, the power in the bloodline would be enough to make you go further." ”

"And your arm ......"

Staring earnestly, Elder Manya sighed, "It's perfect. It's a very strange structure, and I can't fully dissect it, but I sensed an aura similar to a crystalline dragon, but more powerful than a normal crystalline dragon...... It is rumored that the king of the crystalline dragon is also a genus of ancient dragons, and it seems that this rumor is indeed true. ”

"This arm must have caused you a lot of trouble in the past, right? But don't worry, there is an extremely powerful force inside it, the upper limit of this power cannot be detected by my eyes, it is as deep as the sea, and as magnificent as the canopy of heaven, it is undoubtedly the power of the ancient dragon! ”

Once this was confirmed, Ian could clearly notice that Elder Mancliff had a much better attitude towards him.

And what he said was indeed right - the ether crystals inherited to him by the Aether Crystal Dragon were indeed comparable to the power of the True Dragon Ancient Dragon, and ordinary people could not understand the upper limit of the Tinder Engine at all.

The old man could see this, and it was already the result of his dragon pupil observation power.

Ian holds the blood of the ancient dragon, which means that he and Anfa, Theo, and Elder Cliff are truly 'the same kind', they all awaken the existence of the bloodline for various reasons, or inherit the dragon's blood from their parents as soon as they are born.

And the core of the Dragon Worship Sect is such a group of awakened dragon-blooded people.

The entire Dragon Worship Cult is an organization for them to help each other, and those ordinary people who want to get the power of the ancient dragon are just peripheral members who seek power, most of them serve a powerful dragon blood awakener, and in this way, with a small group as the core, it has expanded into a 'sect' scattered throughout the land of Terra.

"Ian, the most important thing is to hide this power."

Elder Manya personally put on Ian's hand armor and covered the obviously crystallized arm, and his tone was serious: "Too many people, too many lessons. Those who do not hide their peculiarities will eventually meet a tragic end, they are lucky enough to have one of the most powerful inheritances in the world, but they are unable to use this power to protect their lives. ”

"Not to mention, the Gnostic Academy and the Truth Academy in the empire have been trying to crack the power of the ancient dragon's blood, and their research is indeed quite effective, but it is all based on the persecution of the dragon's blood...... It may be a bit alarmist, but you have to trust me, the empire is shiny on the surface, but dirt on the inside......"

The old man always habitually admonished, and Ian was willing to listen patiently...... Although he didn't need to be reminded by Elder Manya at all, he also knew what the Gnostic Academy was.

Alarmist? Ian felt that Elder Mancliff might have beautified the image of the Gnostic Academy.

After explaining the importance of hiding the dragon's blood, Elder Mancliff taught Ian the art of concealing his own 'dragon's blood'.

The essentia fluctuation of the dragon organ is very special, which is equivalent to a kind of essentia key, which can be easily discovered by relevant personnel, which is also the reason why the dragon worship sect can detect that he is the bearer of dragon blood.

The concealment method is a peculiar method of essentia operation.

To put it simply, it is to choose a bone or flesh and blood, or even condense a essentia crystal out of thin air in your own dragonization area, and then use it as the center to create a large vortex pressurized structure, and inject all the overflowing power of the dragonization area into it.

This is a restrained structure, and the anomaly of the essentia itself cannot be noticed from the outside world, and at most familiar people will feel that the user's essentia fluctuations will be a little weaker, and it is an excellent concealment technique in terms of concealing the breath.

After knowing this technique, Ian also knew what method Anfa used to hide his identity as a first-level sublimator in the first place - he directly hid all his body strength, and in a short period of time, it could indeed make him look like an ordinary person.

"But isn't that a waste of power?"

As he spoke, Ian controlled the essentia in his body, operating around the 'Ancient Dragon Heart Core' and the 'Aether Crystal' at the same time.

He was a little puzzled: "Although I don't know much about dragonization...... But it is the gradual transformation of our bodies in these dragon regions that allows us to have more power than ordinary sublimators, right? ”

"But such a convergence certainly hides our dragon blood, but the dragon blood strengthens us a lot slower."

Quietly, the young man changed his title to 'we', but Elder Manya didn't notice this detail, and after thinking for a while, he replied seriously, "That's true. ”

"But Ian, you have to understand that although we are all members of the 'Worship of the Dragons...... But the vast majority of people, in their lifetime, will not be able to reach the fourth energy level and reach the foundation of the 'True Dragon'. ”

"If we don't reach the fourth energy level, then the dragonized organs and body parts are essentially a 'benign' aberration for us. Yes, dragon blood will improve our physical fitness and essentia essence in all aspects, but as long as it is not contained, this benign aberration will continue to eat away at our body and transform us into 'dragons'. ”

"Leaving aside this aberration, will it have a negative impact on the 'bloodline true form' we hold."

Speaking of this, the old man raised his hand and touched the dragon horn above his head, and he smiled faintly: "When the conversion rate reaches one hundred percent, but the dragon blood holder has not reached the fourth energy level...... will be a complete failure. ”

"They will degenerate into pathetic and deformed alien dragons, lose their will, be devoured by the instincts of the ancient dragons in the blood, and completely turn into a kind of monster - some will accept this ending calmly, and pass on their dragon core to their children or disciples before they are completely distorted, so that they can become the acquired dragon blood holders."

"And some people will make a desperate bet and forcibly use the process of distortion to release the power of the ancient dragon and transform themselves into a real dragon."

"And the result is a catastrophe."

Elder Manya slowly got up, and he led Ian out of the sacrificial room: "For example, decades ago, the first earthquake that occurred on Ustaraf was a third-level earth dragon blood holder, after the conversion rate reached 100%, in order to successfully transform into a true dragon, he deliberately found a place where the bones of the ancient dragon were buried, and he wanted to use the corpse of the ancient dragon to resonate with his dragon blood. ”

"He failed, the power left by the ancient dragon resonated with his blood, and indeed reached the fourth energy level, but he couldn't bear this power and died, and the spiritual energy field shook before he died, creating a huge natural disaster in the mountain range......"

Ian followed the old man out of the sacrificial room, and he followed the old man's raised hand to look at a lake not far away, at the foot of Mount Avod.

A large lake with a diameter of more than five kilometers, a perfect circle, and a hemispherical depression that cannot be more standard.

Ian's pupils widened slightly, and he suddenly understood what the lake was for.

"For example, one hundred and twenty years ago, there was a 'natural disaster' in the Bison Mountains. 'Heavenly Fire Fall', which almost removed the names of three large mountain tribes at one time. ”

The old man stared at the huge lake of deep green that had been filled with rain and streams from among the mountains.

He said calmly, but with some sadness: "That's why we are called the 'Dragon Worship Cult'. ”

"Because they are."

"Rejoice in blood, die in blood, and if you don't succeed, you will drag those around you into destruction with you...... Evil life. ”
