1195 Dragon God

"Really? What do you know about him?" Yuan immediately asked.

"I don't know how much of this is true since it used to be a rumor back in the days, so take this with a grain of salt." Xi Shengmo said.

And he continued, "If you didn't know already, it is widely known throughout the entire Dragon Race that the Dragon Ancestor and the Great One are the first dragons to ever exist, so they have the highest quality in terms of our bloodline. However, there is a rumor that claims a third dragon existed— one with a supreme bloodline like the Dragon Ancestor and the Great One."

"They also say that both the Dragon Ancestor and the Great One revered this third dragon, who was apparently more powerful than the two combined, and they would address it as the Dragon God. However, for some reason, this Dragon God did the unthinkable and lowered its head to another entity— a human, at that."

"The Dragon God's decision caused a great disturbance throughout the Dragon Race and greatly angered the other two Supreme Dragons, especially since humans and dragons were at war during that time."

"I'm not sure what happened, but information about the Dragon God stopped there, almost as if its existence vanished into thin air."

Yuan digested all of this information with a pondering look on his face.

'The Dragon God lowered its head to a human… That human must be the Immortal Monarch, since he tamed many Divine Beasts. And if the Dragon God is related to the Nine Dragon Symbols…'

Yuan was finally starting to connect the dots, but there are still many unanswered questions.

Seeing Yuan's expression, Xi Shengmo couldn't help but ask, "Is the Dragon God related to your transformation?"

Yuan snapped out of his daze and nodded, "I think so. Also, this blood doesn't belong to the Dragon Ancestor, but the Dragon God."

"What!" Xi Shengmo exclaimed after hearing this information.

"I also believe that the human the Dragon God served was someone called the Immortal Monarch. Do you know of him?"

"Immortal Monarch! Of course, I know him! There's not a single competent dragon that doesn't know of His Excellency!" Xi Shengmo said in a loud voice.

"His Excellency?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"His Excellency was the one who stopped the war between dragons and humans, after all! He was also highly respected by many Divine Beasts during his era."

"Then do you know what happened to him?" Yuan asked.

"No, just like the Dragon God, he suddenly disappeared after one day. We still don't know what happened to him to this day." Xi Shengmo shook his head in a regretful manner. Clearly, he was a fan of the Immortal Monarch.

If he knew that he was standing before the Immortal Monarch's reincarnation, not even the Heavens would be able to predict his reaction.

"Anyways, do you have any more questions?"

"Um… Just one more… How long will I remain like this?" He asked.

"You can't revert to your original form?" Xi Shengmo raised an eyebrow.

"Unfortunately, no." Yuan sighed.

"I don't think there is anything to worry about. When we bathe in the blood, we also transform uncontrollably, but it will eventually go away by itself once the effects of the blood weakens." Xi Mingze said.

"I see… By the way… The blood…" Yuan looked at the pitiful state of the pool with a guilty look on his face. "I promise to refill it…"

Xi Mingze chuckled, "Don't sweat too much about it. What's done is done, and it's not like you did it on purpose, right?"

"Of course not!" He quickly shook his head.

Xi Shengmo rubbed his eyes and sighed, "While I don't expect you to refill this pool with the Dragon Ancestor's blood, if you really wish to try, please do so within 900 years since the last time we soaked in the blood was 100 years ago— fortunately. If we don't find a solution for this before then, our bloodline might weaken."

The only reason Xi Shengmo still has some hope that Yuan would fulfill his words is because of his connection with the Dragon Ancestor.

Although he doesn't know what kind of relationship Yuan has with the Dragon Ancestor, he knew there was something there.

Xi Mingze then said with a weird smile on her face, "If you can't fulfill your promise, then you will have to fill this place with your own blood, okay?"

"S-Sure…" Yuan nodded with a nervous smile.

"Here, you'll catch a cold at this rate." Xi Mingze suddenly handed him his robes.

"Thank you."

Of course, he was completely naked this entire time.

Yuan washed himself again after leaving the Ancestral Sanctuary before returning to his own room.

"How did the ceremony go?" Xi Meili, who had been waiting for her parents to return to their room this entire time, immediately approached them when she noticed their presence in the hallway.

"...You will find out when tomorrow comes." Xi Shengmo said in a tired voice.

"Sorry, but I do not have the energy right now…" Xi Mingze sighed.

This caused Xi Meili to become shocked, as she had never seen her parents this exhausted before.

'What happened during the ceremony?!' Xi Meili cried inwardly.

"Is Yuan okay?" She then asked with a worried face.

Xi Mingze showed a weak smile and said, "Why wouldn't he be okay? If you want to see it for yourself, he's returned to his room. However, I don't recommend seeing him now since he seemed to have a lot on his mind before he left."

"I understand…" As much as Xi Meili wanted to see Yuan right now, she decided to wait for tomorrow, just as her parents suggested.

Xi Mingze and Xi Shengmo retired to their rooms shortly after.

"So much has happened today…" Xi Mingze sighed as she laid on the bed.

"Are you sure he's 100 percent human? Give me some of his blood. I want to see for myself." Xi Shengmo suddenly said.

"If you want his blood, go ask him for some. Why are you asking me?" She looked at him with a slight frown.

Xi Shengmo's eyes twitched at her words.

"You… What the hell are you saying when you still have some of his blood?"

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"I literally watched you seal his blood in a container before putting it away in your spatial ring!" Xi Shengmo found her to be incredibly suspicious now, but not for the reasons he was thinking.

"And how did I obtain that blood? By asking him. If you want his blood, you need to do the same. I am not sharing mine." Xi Mingze remained adamant for some reason, greatly dumbfounding Xi Shengmo.

"I knew it! He definitely has dragon blood in his veins! Why would you lie about something like this?" Xi Shengmo sighed.

Xi Mingze frowned, "I wouldn't lie about that. He doesn't have any dragon blood and is purely human."

"Then what are you hiding from me?"

"Ask him for his blood and you will know."

"You are... Unbelievable!" Xi Shengmo gave up at this point and decided to ask Yuan for his blood tomorrow before he leaves for Azure Dragon City.
