The process of taking away the five Dragon Pearls was actually very sacred. It was said to be a gift from the ancestors. Moreover, there was no need to worry about other factions coming back to stop them, because they could not see the existence of the Ancestral Dragon Cave.
This process was more like a ceremony of worship, called the Honorable Ceremony.
Every twenty to thirty thousand years, or even more than a hundred thousand years, there would be a Honorable Ceremony.
The Honorable Ceremony was very grand.
Li Shuangyu continued to introduce to Long Chen, "The Supreme Grand Ceremony is divided into three parts. The first part is to select the 'Dragon of Inheritance'. Generally speaking, from the five great Dragon Cities, ten of the most talented young dragon martial artists under the age of four thousand will be chosen to head to the Emperor Dragon City in the east of the Dragon God Domain, which is not far from the Purple Myrtle Divine City. The five great Dragon Cities will gather in the Emperor Dragon City, and the 'Black Jade Dragon Head' will select five Dragon of Inheritance's Dragon from among the fifty candidates.
The Windfire Wolf saw that Long Chen was confused and knew that Long Chen probably did not know about the so-called Emperor Dragon City and the Black Jade Dragon Head, so he interrupted and explained, "The Black Jade Dragon Head is actually a very strange thing. Like the Ancestral Dragon Cave, it has been passed down from the Divine Dragon Age until now. It is a piece of black jade embedded in the ground, carved into the shape of a lifelike dragon head. The dragon head looks to the east, its gaze deep, and can only look in the direction of the Ancestral Dragon Cave. The Black Jade Dragon Head holds a Dragon Pearl that looks like the five Dragon Pearls in its mouth. It is called the Black Jade Dragon Pearl.
Li Shuangyu said, "That's right. In fact, no one has been able to unravel the mystery of the black jade dragon head. Everyone in the world knows that the black jade dragon head is unimaginably strong. It has been weathering the elements for billions of years and looks a little old. It looks like it will collapse at any time. In fact, in the past millions of years, no one, including the immortals, has ever damaged the black jade dragon head. Of course, your father, the Eternal Dragon Emperor, tried it too. He attacked with all his might, but the black jade dragon head did not even leave a scratch. The Emperor Dragon City was built around the black jade dragon head because of its existence. The people from the five great dragon cities guard the Emperor Dragon City to prevent thieves from approaching the black jade dragon head and tarnishing this divine object. Basically, every year, there will be a large number of teams from the five great dragon cities to worship the black jade dragon head."
"Oh …"
Even Long Qinglan hadn't been able to damage it at all. It was truly a divine object born of heaven and earth. Long Chen's heart was filled with shock. Although he was trapped in the Slaughter Dragon City, he already had a strong desire to see the black jade dragon head and the Cave of Ancestral Dragons.
The Supreme Grand Ceremony was a huge opportunity for them.
What were the Five Great Dragon Balls? What were their effects?
What secrets did the origin of the Divine Dragons contain?
Did Long Qinglan investigate these places deeply?
So many secrets made Long Chen's heart itch unbearably.
Seeing him thinking, the Wind Fire Wolf continued, "The Black Jade Dragon Head holds the Black Jade Dragon Head in its mouth. Take our Slaughter Dragon City as an example. We will let ten candidates touch the Black Jade Dragon Bead one after another. The Black Jade Dragon Bead is filled with a kind of black mist, which is called the Ancestral Dragon Aura. Whoever can get the favor of the Black Jade Dragon Bead and touch the most Ancestral Dragon Aura among the ten candidates will be the Inheritance Young Dragon. They will be able to step onto the Inheritance Dragon Stairs of the Cave of the Ancestral Dragon and collect the Slaughter Dragon Bead."
This was the rule of the Supreme Ceremony.
Li Shuangyu said, "Yes, the amount of Ancestral Dragon Aura one can touch is actually very mysterious. It's not just about talent. I think if you go, Master, you will definitely be the Inheritance Young Dragon. The first stage of the Supreme Ceremony is to choose the Inheritance Young Dragon. The second stage is for the five Dragon Cities to go to the Cave of the Ancestral Dragon and let the five Inheritance Young Dragons step onto the Inheritance Dragon Stairs to collect the Five Great Dragon Balls."
Of course, Long Chen was tempted.
He had inherited the Blood Essence of three Ancestral Dragons, but all of this was deeply related. Even if he had a promise of ten years with the three Dragon Emperors, he had to ask them to give him a chance to go to the Cave of the Ancestral Dragon. This was naturally very important, and he had to put aside his current cultivation to complete it.
The Black Jade Dragon Head … The origin of the Divine Dragons. All of this was very tempting to Long Chen.
"Master, do you want to go?"
When Luo Yan saw his expression, she could roughly guess what was going on.
"Yes, I'll go meet them and see if I can get this chance."
The so-called 'them' referred to the three Dragon Emperors.
"Oh … But I think it'll be very dangerous because they don't approve of you. Moreover, people from the other four Dragon Cities will go as well. It's not easy to become a Inheritance Young Dragon."
Long Chen said, "I'll try my best. You guys go back first. I have to go out for a while."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded obediently. "Alright."
Long Chen did not hesitate. With a flash, he left the place.
After he left, Luo Yan pulled Li Shuangyu and Windfire Wolf's ears and said fiercely, "It's all your fault."
Li Shuangyu and Windfire Wolf grimaced in pain and quickly begged for mercy. "Madam, what did we do?"
Luo Yan let go of them and said angrily, "We finally met a responsible master and are trying our best to ask him to take us as disciples. Now that he's gone, who are we going to find to take us as disciples? Moreover, he'll probably be in great danger if he goes out. It'll be bad if something happens to him …"
"You're right …"
Li Shuangyu and Windfire Wolf looked at each other.
However, since they had already said it, there was nothing they could do. They could only hope that Long Chen could return safely.
"The Emperor Dragon City Selection, the Inheritance Dragon Stairs, and the Supreme Dragon Battle will be completed after the Supreme Dragon Ceremony. With the time spent on the road, it will take at least a month. By then, the Hidden Dragon Martial Battle in the Young Dragon Palace will begin …"
Luo Yan couldn't help but frown.
… …
With Long Chen's speed, he soon left the huge Young Dragon Palace without anyone noticing. Twenty-odd days passed in the blink of an eye. He didn't expect so many things to happen outside.
He found the direction of the three Dragon Emperors and headed in that direction.
He didn't summon them this time, so he wasn't sure if he could see the three Dragon Emperors.
"I have the Dragon Jade Seal and the three drops of Ancestral Dragon's Inheritance Blood. I might have great opportunities in places like the Black Jade Dragon Head and the Ancestral Dragon Cave. This time, five kinds of Dragon Pearls will be born. It's a great opportunity. If I don't go and take a look, I'm afraid I'll miss this great opportunity …"
Long Chen was very anxious. To be honest, he was worried that the three Dragon Emperors would refuse.
Because of Li Xuanji, he promised not to leave the Massacre Dragon City for ten years. At least, he kept his word and wouldn't leave without permission. This time, he could only listen to the three Dragon Emperors' arrangement. If they didn't agree, Long Chen couldn't do anything.
From the moment he killed Meng Qingqiu, more and more people in Slaughter Dragon City knew him, and more and more people respected him. No one dared to stand in front of him or point at him anymore.
When Xiao Chen reached the center, a Blood Dragon Army soldier, who was at least a Five Element Reincarnation Tribulation Realm cultivator, stopped him and said, "Stop. Without the Blood Dragon Emperor's orders, no one can enter the center."
Long Chen said, "Then help me find Xue Chi."
Of course, the other party knew Long Chen. After thinking for a while, he decided not to offend Long Chen, so he reported the matter to Xue Chi.
After a while, that man with scarlet hair and eyes appeared behind Long Chen, and the guards quickly knelt.
After Long Chen found him, he said, "Let's talk somewhere else."
The two moved to another place. Long Chen went straight to the point, saying, "I heard about the Supreme Ceremony. I want to know if I can be one of the ten candidates to represent the Massacre Dragon City and go to Emperor Dragon City."
Hearing this, Xue Chi shook his head and said, "It's already late. The ten candidates have been chosen a few days ago and are probably ready. They will set off for Emperor Dragon City in a dozen days. Moreover, don't you have a ten-year agreement with the three Dragon Emperors? You can't leave before the time is up."
Sure enough, this matter wasn't that easy to deal with …
Long Chen couldn't help feeling anxious. He said, "Can you tell the three Dragon Emperors? This is very important to me. As for the ten-year agreement, I won't leave. I will follow your team. After the matter is over, I will come back here. It doesn't count as leaving without permission."
Seeing Ye Chen's strong desire, Xue Chi remained expressionless. After a long silence, he finally said, "Alright, I will ask the three Dragon Emperors."
He closed his eyes and remained silent. However, Long Chen knew that he was actually communicating with the three Dragon Emperors. As time went by, he couldn't help feeling more and more nervous. In the end, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a scarlet light burst out, startling Long Chen.
"What's the result?"
Long Chen asked quickly.
Xue Chi smiled wickedly and said, "I really underestimated you. It seems that the three Dragon Emperors are becoming more and more optimistic about you. They actually eliminated a candidate for you and let you join our team. However, the three Dragon Emperors have a condition."
Long Chen was excited at first, but he became more cautious as he listened. He didn't know what attitude the three Dragon Emperors had toward him. He didn't know whether they were friend or foe, so he had to be careful when dealing with them.
"What's the condition?"
Long Chen asked.
Xue Chi said, "It's simple. This trip is against the rules. If you really want to go out, then the ten-year agreement will be changed to twenty years. How about that?"
Long Chen couldn't help frowning. He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not good to change the agreement so easily."
Xue Chi smiled and said, "Then forget it. Anyway, the three Dragon Emperors told me that. If you can't do it, I can't bring you to Emperor Dragon City."
Long Chen thought about it carefully.
Although twenty years was really long, who knew what would happen after that? For the Ancestral Dragon Cave, Ye Chen was willing to risk it all. He nodded and said, "Alright, then it's settled. Twenty years."
The deal was completed.
