Chapter 1876: Emperor Emeritus

Inspiration struck Lu Yun. The Moran Clan was domineering and rivaled the dragon race. Both of them were absolute titans in the chief worlds. The rest of the other factions in the outside realm were the likes of Yun Yi—individually strong, but not their faction.

The two titanic factions, however, didn’t display corresponding dominance in the Land of Reincarnation. The dragons sought the azure dragon ancestral god, while the Spacetime King and Moran Dongning wanted… dirt from the chaos?

“There are chaos in other parts of the chief worlds, but they are so much more dangerous compared to the one in the Land of Reincarnation,” Ao Hong said with a smile as he read Lu Yun’s expression. He waved a hand and summoned two maids to place a pot of tea in front of Lu Yun. The young man remained unmoving.

“You seem really happy that I pissed off the Golden Dragon King?” Lu Yun let the subject of the Morans go and brought the conversation back to the dragons. Despite doing so, he still didn’t read any ill intent from the dragon in front of him.

“The Golden Dragon King is old-fashioned, willful, and exceedingly prideful to boot. He’s never suffered such a loss,” Ao Hong noted. “He should be reflecting hardily on his faults after this round of humiliation and will not be as obstinate or as headstrong as before.”

Lu Yun’s eyes widened to hear this line of talk from the dragon.

“The Golden Dragon King is my son,” Ao Hong chuckled.

“I thought he was the nine clawed golden dragon’s son.” Lu Yun fidgeted uncomfortably. He could tell that Ao Hong’s background was impressive, but hadn’t thought that he’d be the emperor emeritus of the golden dragons!

Ao Hong continued chuckling. Though he was only forty-four levels of sequence and not yet a supreme, his son caught up from behind and exceeded sequence to be the Golden Dragon King. This was an immense source of pride for him. The dragon territory in the World of Soul Dominion looked to Ao Hong as their ruler.

“Your Majesty Emeritus, what is your purpose in bringing me here? Surely not to just tell me you’re the Golden Dragon King’s father,” Lu Yun cut straight to the chase.

“Draconic disunity and the struggle between the golden dragons and azure dragons for legitimacy is just an act,” Ao Hong nodded. “The vast dragon race oversees half of the chief worlds and commands endless clans and factions beneath its banner. Would we fight to the death for mere legitimacy?

“What you’ve seen or the conclusions you’ve drawn are just hearsay. Have you ever seen golden dragons and azure dragons meet each other on the battlefield?” Ao Hong grinned. “Where there are golden dragons, there are no azure dragons. In the same vein, golden dragons are never seen where the azure dragons are.”

Lu Yun nodded and sniffed, “What does that have to do with me?”

“It has a lot to do with you!” Ao Hong declared. “Internal conflict is an act put on for outsiders, guiding them to perceive that the dragons are destined to decline because of our civil war. They do not think of us as threats given this!

“All of it starts with the disappearance of the azure dragon ancestral god and the death of the first patriarch—Leize! Losing those two heavyweights means that we cannot keep the world of sea dao sequence! A man\'s wealth is his own ruin when it causes another\'s greed!” He fixed his eyes on the young man.

Lu Yun’s heart pounded and he thought of a possibility. “What about the nine clawed golden dragon? He’s on par with the ancestral dragon!”

“There. is. no! nine! clawed! golden! dragon!” Ao Hong enunciated carefully.  “The jaws of devastation seek to close around the dragons and we sway in the midst of a raging storm. If it wasn’t for the legend of the nine clawed golden dragon intimidating outsiders, we would’ve been exterminated a long time ago!”

Lu Yun’s heart spasmed painfully. He’d always felt that it would be strange if the azure and golden dragons truly fought to the death in their struggle. Only now did he realize what was truly taking place.

“The core of dragon strength is here, on the World of Soul Dominion. This world is where all of our greatest geniuses train. Supremes and those above supreme cannot take action here, so our geniuses stand the greatest chance for survival and further growth,” Ao Hong’s tone relaxed.

“What are you telling me this—forget it, I see.” Lu Yun smacked his head.

“You are indeed the reason behind six hundred years of war between the golden dragons and other factions, and it is no falsehood that the Golden Dragon King is enraged beyond belief. He does wish to obtain that secret art to enhance our foundations.” Ao Hong spread out his hands and looked into Lu Yun’s eyes. “Do you have nothing to say to me?”

“What am I supposed to say?” Lu Yun blinked.

Ao Hong’s expression darkened. “Leize and the azure dragon ancestral god. I know they’re in the Land of Reincarnation!”

“What?? How is that possible??” Lu Yun answered blankly. “I’ll look into this when I return!”

“You still don’t trust me?!” Ao Hong demanded with irritation. He’d told this kid his race’s greatest secret, one that would affect their survival, but the kid continued to play dumb!

“Of course I trust the senior!” Lu Yun responded righteously. “Don’t worry, this junior will not breathe a word of the grave secrets that I have been told. They have to do with the survival of the dragon race!”

Ao Hong stared fixedly at Lu Yun. As the moment stretched on, the latter continued to be coolly composed.

“Forget it, I didn’t think I’d actually learn anything from you. Zhu Lingyan, you are here with the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme’s tacit approval. I thought you’d bring the Moran girls, but you came with Nightmare of the Ghost Sect instead.” Ao Hong waved the conversation off and changed how he addressed Lu Yun. That actually made the young man put just a little stock in the dragon’s words.

All of this had something to do with the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme.

But the supreme knew where Leize was since he was Leize’s disciple. He plainly hadn’t told the dragons to keep certain cards up his sleeves.

“The situation is complicated in the chief worlds and your fourth realm. Many powerhouses are pressuring the Land of Reincarnation to allow formula dao to secede from immortal dao and meld into the chief worlds,” Ao Hong mentioned.

“What?!” Lu Yun shot to his feet. It was no secret that many from the chief worlds desired formula dao—they had their disciples learn immortal dao so they could then learn formula dao.

Formula dao was part of immortal dao, so one had to learn immortal dao first to learn formula dao. Lu Yun hadn’t thought that the chief worlds would be so domineering to want to strip formula dao out of its great dao!

No wonder the supreme suddenly sent him to this world. While Qing Yu was the Dao Sovereign of immortal dao and the creator of formula dao, formula dao’s core essence was with Lu Yun.

The Tome of Life and Death!

Lu Yun had derived the most basic formula dao from the treasure, so that made him the key to separating formula dao from immortal dao.
