Chapter 42: I am a descendant of the dragon family
Since the establishment of Panlong City, in order to cultivate the best descendants of the dragon clan, under the auspices of the dragon god, the ancestor of the first generation of city lords and all dragon people, a cruel trial system has been established.
It was a glorious era, and the entire Dragon Clan still existed as the ruler of the Dragon Soul Continent. In order to allow the rule of the dragon clan to last forever, in order to allow the best descendants of the dragon clan to become the lord of Panlong City, in that era of ups and downs, the trial system almost became the first level before becoming the lord of the city.
The dragon god has nine sons, and each of them has a special ability. They all have an outstanding side, and they can become a generation of heroes no matter where they are placed. But there is only one city lord in Panlong City, and it can't be done by all nine people, so the dragon god has opened up another space with great magical powers, called the trial space.
Including the generation of Emperor Long Qing, they have also experienced a cruel trial system. Only when the cultivation and character are much higher than those of the competitors can you become a qualified city lord.
No one knows what outsiders are in the trial space, and those who enter, whether they fail and are eliminated in the end, or successfully try to become the city lord, after coming out of that space, they all seem to have lost their memory, and they don't remember everything in the trial space.
The trial space has become the most mysterious existence, and only those who become the lord of the city have the ability to open the trial space. But if you are not a trialist, even the lord of the castle will not be able to enter. Moreover, a descendant of the dragon clan only has one chance to enter it once in his life, and there is no second possibility in his life to understand what is in the trial space.
For countless years, the competition among the dragons has been fierce. But this trial space is very weird, and there are many dragon wizards who have never come out after entering, which also makes the dragon people gradually say that this trial space is more and more weird and mysterious.
With the passage of time, the glory of the dragons is long gone. The dilution of the bloodline, the decline of cultivation, and the appearance of too few wizards, this trial space has not been opened for thousands of years.
It wasn't until Long Batian appeared that this trial space was opened again. It's just that Long Batian entered this trial space not because someone was competing with him for the position of city lord, but because he wanted to challenge himself.
When Long Batian came out of this trial space, his cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and once led the dragon clan to its former glory. If it weren't for Long Batian's early death in the Dark Mountain, I'm afraid his achievements today would be even more limitless.
Being able to enter the trial place is both a challenge and an opportunity. Those who come out, whether they succeed or fail, are equivalent to attaining a great transformation, and from then on, they will be unlimited on the path of cultivation.
But there is also a danger that those who go in may never come out again. Therefore, this trial gate has always been a place that the dragon clan loves and hates, and even Long Aotian has never entered it.
Long Yunzhou's bloodline is pure, and he is also the son of Long Batian, according to the rules of the Dragon Clan, he is qualified to be one of the candidates for the city lord, and he is also qualified to challenge Long Yunxin. Even if he was driven out of Panlong City, according to the rules handed down by his ancestors, he could challenge Long Yunxin according to the principle that the best dragon bloodline heirs must be guaranteed to ascend to the position of the city lord of Panlong City.
Long Aotian looked at Mo Li and Long Yunzhou coldly, and Long Yunxin's eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames. He really wanted to come out and stop it, but then he would look afraid in front of the monks of the world. I am afraid of the challenge of Long Yunzhou, and I am also afraid of entering the place of trial.
"Father............" Long Yunxin turned his head and looked at Long Aotian with a pleading look. He was reluctant to enter the trial ground, and all the rumors about it had been deeply imprinted into his heart like a curse.
Gaining the opportunity to become a more powerful monk, and even leading the dragon clan back into the glory of the past, and becoming a god admired by future generations like Long Batian, this is what all dragon people dream of, and the same is true for Long Yunxin.
But it's not worth risking your life. Long Yun was afraid, afraid that he really wouldn't be able to get out of that place of trial.
"Are you really that sure? Do you know that the trial ground hadn't been opened for thousands of years before your father entered. It's not that it can't be opened, it's that it's so dangerous that countless people have never come out after entering. Do you have the confidence and ability to come out?"
Long Aotian's eyes were looking at Long Yunzhou, and there was always a trace of contempt in them that made Long Yunzhou go crazy. Many monks in front of the Golden Palace Square were in an uproar when they heard what Long Aotian said, most of them had never heard of the name of the trial place, let alone heard that there would be a danger of life and death after entering. At this moment, even some old monsters who have been cultivating for many years can't help but look sideways to see how Long Yunzhou chooses.
Long Yunzhou also stared at Long Aotian's eyes tightly, in those lonely and helpless days, he had never dared to look at his uncle like today.
Not a fear, but an escape. He could always see a trace of hatred in his uncle's eyes, a kind of hatred that Long Yunzhou knew very well. It's the hatred that his relatives have been taken away, but he can't do anything about it.
Later, he knew from Mo Li's mouth that Long Aotian loved his brother very much. He blamed his nephew and sister-in-law for Long Batian's death, believing that these two had taken away his favorite brother.
Long Yunzhou had always been afraid of Long Aotian's murderous eyes, and his golden eyes were full of all kinds of complicated emotions. There is anger, hatred, sadness, sorrow, and all kinds of contempt for him.
But today, Long Yunzhou no longer hides from his uncle's gaze. When he returned to Panlong City again with a proud cultivation that could cross the world, he would never succumb to anyone's gaze again.
Xingyue is dead, Yutong is dead, Sanfat and Bailitian are missing, and Huangfu Ying is missing. He had lost so much, so many people had left him. Today's Long Yunzhou's heart is already as solid as a rock, and no force can destroy his will.
He understands a truth, only by making himself constantly stronger, the world will surrender to his feet. Only when he becomes the strongest in this world will all people look at him with fanaticism and reverence.
"What my father can do, I will definitely do. Panlong City was left to me by him, and I naturally won't leave everything here to anyone. What I lost, I will get it back with my own hands. If I can't even do this, then I am not worthy of being the son of Long Batian, and I am not worthy of being the city lord of this Dragon City. So, I decided to go to the Land of Trials. ”
Long Yunzhou said word by word, and the words fell in front of this golden palace like a thousand powers. Long Aotian's gaze sometimes contracted and sometimes magnified, sonorous but full of determination and self-confidence.
"Well, to be able to say such things, like an elder brother's son. To have a nephew like you, I am also happy in my life. Whether you succeed or not, based on what you just said, you are also worthy of being a proud descendant of the dragon family. ”
Long Aotian was moved in his heart, and for the first time he called Long Yunzhou his nephew. He had been hating Long Yunzhou in his heart before, and it was this nephew who took away his brother, who had been regarded as heaven since he was a child.
Later, he also heard some deeds about Long Yunzhou roaming on the Dragon Soul Continent, and all kinds of rumors came one after another. But no matter how much stronger Long Yunzhou became than before, Long Aotian never really regarded this back who had been driven out of Panlong City as a nephew.
But today, after hearing Long Yunzhou's words, he seemed to see his brother's shadow on Long Yunzhou's body again. The elder brother, who was not afraid of any danger and vowed to bring Panlong City back to glory, seemed to have returned in another way.
Long Aotian recognized Long Yunzhou from his heart, he had this qualification to become the city lord, and he was even more qualified to become the pride of the dragon clan. In today's decline of the dragon clan, who else is the descendant of the dragon clan who dares to challenge themselves to become stronger, like Long Yunzhou?
Long Aotian turned his head to look at Long Yunxin, who was already pale, and asked with a calm face, "Your cousin has already proved with his words that he is a qualified descendant of the Dragon Clan, what about you, will you disappoint me?"
"Father............" Long Yunxin's face turned even paler, and his lips even trembled a little. He glanced at Long Yunzhou standing proudly next to the Golden Temple in the distance with resentment, and there was a monstrous anger surging in his heart.
"Do you really want to disappoint me? Do I Long Aotian have cultivated such a son in my life?" Long Aotian's tone was gloomy, and he seemed to be extremely sad and sad.
"Father............ The child ............. willing to go!" Long Yun looked at Long Aotian fiercely, the expression on his face changed too quickly, and he seemed to have made up his mind with difficulty, and said fiercely.
A glimmer of light flashed in Long Aotian's eyes, and a look of relief flashed across his face. He patted Long Yunxin's shoulder and nodded vigorously: "Like a man, I believe you will be able to." You are also the orthodox descendant of the dragon bloodline, and you have a share of the future of Panlong City. ”
Long Yunxin looked at Long Aotian's eyes, and the initial timidity in his heart was swept away. Yes, he is also the descendant of the Dragon Clan, why does he dare not do what Long Yunzhou can do? He is Long Yunxin, a descendant of pure Dragon blood, and a man who will be the lord of the city in the future.
Long Aotian turned his head, wordlessly scanned the entire Golden Palace Square, and said in a thunderous voice: "Distinguished guests, the trial of the new city lord of Panlong City starts now. Please be a witness, if whoever is the last to walk out of it, then he is the future of the entire dragon clan. ”
Long Aotian didn't say anything anymore, and flew up to the sky, above the top of the Golden Palace. The sun shone on his body, making his eyes even brighter.
"The dragon flies for nine days, hiding in the sea. Swallowing clouds and spitting fog, creating thousands of things. All the gods and Buddhas have avoided it, and the eternal stars are my heart!" Long Aotian read silently in his mouth, and at the same time pinched the trick with both hands.
A golden light shot out from between his hands, and the sun in the sky seemed to be summoned, and a huge light shot out of the sun, and fell on the golden dome with a bang.
The entire Panlong City trembled, and countless golden rays of light suddenly shot out from all directions, converging on the golden dome.
"Open!" Long Aotian roared, his hands changed violently, and there was a loud bang. Where the golden light converged, a black hole slowly opened out of thin air.
