On the way, Mr. Tao shook his head. “Our purpose for this journey remains unchanged. Don’t let the benefits blind your eyes.”
“This is a great opportunity. One that we might never encounter again,” Tang Ya said.
“For us, the Ancestral Dragon’s heart may not necessarily bring benefits.” Mr.
Tao’s pace was slow, but each step covered a great distance.
“The current troubles are nothing compared to what might come later. We don’t need to invite more trouble. Besides , do you really think we are the only ones who have come here? Some people hide in plain sight. They are far beyond your imagination.”
“Who are they?” Tang Ya asked in surprise.
Mr. Tao smiled but didn’t answer.
Tang Ya rolled her eyes and continued on.
After some time, they saw eighteen True Dragons spiraling in the sky. Among them, there was a golden heart still beating.
“Is the Ancestral Dragon still alive?” Tang Ya asked in confusion.
“There’s not much information about the True Dragon Clan. It’s hard to guess.” Mr. Tao shook his head.
When they arrived, many others had already reached. They were just a bit slower.
The aura of the True Dragons descended from the sky, and Mr. Tao looked up. He frowned slightly.
“It seems like they’re heading for the Abyssal Sea. They were summoned by something.”
“If we don’t intercept them, they’ll enter, and we’ll have nothing left,” Tang Ya said.
“They will take action.” Mr. Tao pointed to dozens of cultivators in midair.
“Can they stop them?” Tang Ya felt a bit anxious.
Although the eighteen True Dragons hadn’t done anything, trying to stop them seemed insane.
“They’re just phantoms and not as terrifying as you might think.” Mr. Tao thought for a moment. “But stopping them is indeed difficult.”
“Some people have already tried,” Tang Ya immediately said.
At that moment, an elderly cultivator soared into the sky and began using his techniques to create a barrier of spiritual energy to block the True Dragons.
Everyone below watched closely.
The eighteen True Dragons continued forward and ignored the barrier.
Then, with a resounding crash, the True Dragons collided with the barrier.
Crack!
The barrier of spiritual energy collapsed.
Seeing this, the elderly cultivator was rather delighted.
The True Dragons didn’t retaliate. They simply continued forward.
Below, many people were delighted as well. They thought maybe they could trap the True Dragons.
“It looks like we can wait for more powerful individuals to arrive,” Mr. Tao said.
“If we can stop them, why not just go and seize the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart?” Tang Ya asked.
Mr. Tao was taken aback for a moment and then smiled. “Well, I suppose someone will do just that.”
Indeed, a person went straight for the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart.
By the Abyssal Sea, Jiang Hao watched that person, who seemed joyous, as if he believed the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart would soon be his.
Others were shocked and tried to stop him, but it was too late.
“Can he succeed?” the elderly man asked Jiang Hao.
There was no reason. He only said it because Hong Yuye looked disdainful.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar sounded.
One of the eighteen True Dragons moved and swallowed the person who had approached.
This both surprised and delighted the onlookers.
They were surprised at the formidable power of the True Dragons’ phantom but delighted that no one had managed to take the Ancestral Dragon’s heart.
With the previous example, no one dared to approach recklessly and could only try to prevent others from advancing.
“Why don’t you give it a try?” the elderly man asked Jiang Hao curiously. He realized that even in the absence of stronger individuals, he had no chance.
Jiang Hao shook his head.
He didn’t want to throw his life away.
As for Hong Yuye, she had no intention of getting involved.
Boom!
The eighteen True Dragons moved in the sky. Ahead of them, dozens of powerful figures were laying down formations to block their progress and secure the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart.
“Notify the Heavenly Kings, ” someone said in a low voice.
The others also informed powerful individuals to come and fight.
The eighteen True Dragons gently collided with the barrier, and the ma.s.sive formation began to tremble, but it didn’t shatter.
The True Dragons didn’t launch an attack. They were just testing the strength of the formation.
Once they weathered the first wave, it became much easier. After several attempts, the formation finally stabilized.
“It seems they’re trapped now,” said Jiang Hao.
He could tell that the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart was drawn by the aura from the Abyssal Sea. It was an elusive presence that was hard to grasp.
But it definitely existed.
“Who do you think will obtain the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart?” the elderly man asked.
Jiang Hao didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the Abyssal
Sea.
The Abyssal Sea was still a vast pool of nothingness, but there seemed to be something trying to emerge from within.
He sensed it from the auras in it.
The elderly man turned to look as well. He was quite puzzled. “Senior, what’s happening with the Abyssal Sea?” Jiang Hao shook his head.
He couldn’t answer, nor did he need to.
As for this elderly man, he didn’t even know him. He had just called him “senior,” and now the man insisted on addressing him as “senior” too. It was somewhat uncomfortable.
However, there was one thing he didn’t understand. Senior Dan Yuan paid a lot of attention to the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart, so why hadn’t his people come here? They might have a chance to obtain it.
It wasn’t just Senior Dan Yuan. Liu should have been here by now. Why weren’t they taking action? Were they all like Hong Yuye? Maybe they weren’t interested in the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart but something else. Jiang Hao glanced at the woman beside him and didn’t say much.
On the other hand, Tang Ya was confused.
“Mr. Tao, are we just going to watch?” Tang Ya asked.
“Why not? Haven’t you noticed that these eighteen True Dragons are no
ordinary beings? It’s not easy to avoid them and get the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart,” Mr. Tao said.
“It feels like we’re handing over the treasure to others.” Tang Ya sighed.
“No need to worry… They’re here.” Mr. Tao turned to look into the distance.
At that moment, a teleportation formation activated underwater, and a dozen beams of light shot into the sky. Within a breath’s time, figures emerged from the light, and each of them made the entire sea area resonate with power.
They could communicate with the sea.
“Heavenly King Bu Dong is here!” Tang Ya exclaimed. “Did he already absorb the benefits he got from the South? He’s the first one to arrive.”
“His aura has become stronger.” Mr. Tao was also somewhat surprised.
Soon, Tang Ya spotted more figures. “Heavenly King Taomu is here too. Heavenly Kings Ku’er and Mu Longyu are here too. So many Heavenly Kings have already arrived. If they make a move, won’t this sea area suffer?”
“These Heavenly Kings are interested in the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart. If not now, then when would they come here?” Mr. Tao asked.
Tang Ya nodded. Indeed, the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart was quite extraordinary.
Soon, she noticed that these people were standing in the skies and showed no signs of making a move. “Why aren’t they fighting each other?”
“Because they’re not like you.”
