Passing through the cloud-like vortex, Yang Kai held Yang Xiao’s hand and stepped into Dragon Palace Temple.
Suddenly, Yang Kai’s hand relaxed and he turned his head to look, immediately feeling shocked.
Because Yang Xiao, who he was holding in his hand, had disappeared without a trace, this situation frightened him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. Just a moment ago, he had confidently promised Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun that he would take good care of Yang Xiao, but now he had lost him. How was he supposed to take care of him?
“Xiao’er! Xiao’er!” Yang Kai shouted loudly, his powerful voice echoing throughout the empty hall, but he did not receive any response. Releasing his Divine Sense, it was also suppressed ten meters away, unable to detect anything further.
This was not the first time he had entered the Dragon Palace Temple. The last time Wu Kuang had used the Dragon Temple’s power to shatter the void and infiltrate the Lower Planes Star Field, he had come here to investigate the situation. At that time, he had also used the tunnel Wu Kuang had opened to track him.
The last time he came here, such a strange thing had never happened, so how did it happen this time?
He vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with the previous generations of Dragon Souls in Dragon Temple. Although these Dragon Souls had been worshiped here for countless years, they still contained a great power.
Thinking so, Yang Kai roared, “Get out here!”
Under the stimulation of the Golden Holy Dragon’s Origin Energy, a loud dragon roar rang out.
In the next instant, a series of dragon roars rang out from the vast hall.
Brilliant light flashed, one, two, three… On the pillars that connected to the Heavens in all directions, a series of giant dragon shadows appeared, coiling around Yang Kai, forming a tight encirclement around him. Each of these dragon shadows was vivid and lifelike, retaining the majesty of their previous lives to the greatest extent. As the Dragon Pressure surged, the space around Yang Kai rippled, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Yang Kai turned his head and looked around, his eyes sweeping over the dragon shadows as he asked in a low voice, “Where’s the boy who came in with me? Where did you take him?”
The many dragon souls remained silent and did not respond, only staring at him quietly.
“Are you deaf?” Yang Kai’s expression became ugly.
He didn’t know if these Dragon Souls still had any consciousness, or if they had only retained some of their original instincts after being corroded for countless years, but he definitely couldn’t let anything happen to Yang Xiao.
“Answer me!” Yang Kai roared, his voice like a true dragon’s roar that filled the nine heavens.
This time, there was finally a response. The largest dragon soul suddenly raised its head slightly and looked towards a certain direction.
Yang Kai looked over, his eyes seemingly piercing through the void and seeing what was happening.
At this moment, Yang Xiao was sitting cross-legged on a stone platform with a calm expression on his face. There was nothing wrong with him at all, and his aura was long and drawn out. The colorful lights surrounding him were constantly entering and exiting his body, making him look extremely strange.
Yang Kai stared at it for a while before frowning at the First Elder’s Dragon Soul and asking, “Do you know why I brought him here?”
Although he didn’t know how they could know, he could tell from Yang Xiao’s situation that the Dragon Souls in Dragon Temple were currently examining the Origin in Yang Xiao’s body, so Yang Xiao had been taken away at the beginning. He was also in Dragon Temple, but without the help of these Dragon Souls, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to see him or even determine where he was.
Nodding, Yang Kai said, “His Origin is a bit strange, so I need your help to examine it. Since that’s the case, you may continue.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiao’s side became pitch black again and everything he had seen just now had disappeared.
Yang Kai also relaxed slightly. Since the many Dragon Souls in Dragon Temple were willing to do so, it meant that Yang Xiao’s Origin was not problematic to a large extent. Otherwise, these Dragon Souls would definitely expel him. Dragon Temple was a sacred place, so how could anyone casually step into it?
Pondering for a moment, Yang Kai continued, “In addition, I have another matter to ask everyone. I want to cultivate some Dragon Clan Secret Techniques, but I don’t know where to begin.”
Under normal circumstances, the Holy Spirit’s Origin would inherit all the inheritances, and as long as there was a suitable opportunity, each Holy Spirit would be able to obtain the memories of their Great Ancestor’s Inheritance. Naturally, many Secret Techniques could also be used.
Yang Kai had also comprehended many things, such as the complicated Dragon Language. He had never learned it from anyone before, but after cultivating the Dragon Transformation Art, everything seemed to be instinctual and natural.
The only thing Yang Kai wasn’t satisfied with was that he hadn’t been able to comprehend many Secret Techniques from the Origin, so he didn’t know what kind of situation his Golden Holy Dragon Origin was in.
The purpose of going into Dragon Temple was naturally to comprehend a practical Secret Technique.
This was an opportunity he couldn’t easily miss.
Hearing this, the first generation Elder suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a white ball of light towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai was startled, thinking that his words had angered this First Elder, but upon closer inspection, he found that this was not the case. The aura contained within the light sphere was extremely profound, and although it was extremely powerful, there was no killing intent.
This was…
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up as he thought of a possibility. Seeing the light sphere pressing down on him, he quickly sat down cross-legged and looked down.
The ball of light descended, releasing a dazzling light that enveloped Yang Kai.
In an instant, Yang Kai felt as if a massive amount of information was pouring into his mind, causing his Knowledge Sea to roar and his head to ache.
Enlightenment!
Joy filled his heart as he focused on absorbing the information contained within the light sphere.
Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the light that had enveloped Yang Kai gradually dissipated.
Before the light dissipated completely, the second dragon soul spat out another ball of light and enveloped Yang Kai again.
Yang Kai’s face twitched as he felt that the situation had developed somewhat differently from what he had imagined. Although he had wanted to comprehend some of the Dragon Clan’s Divine Abilities and Secret Arts from the Dragon Temple, he had never imagined that the Dragon Souls of the various Great Elders would be so enthusiastic as to directly pour these things into him.
If it was just two or three times, it would have been fine, but the key was that there were more than ten generations of Great Elders’ dragon souls here.
This was really… painful and joyful.
Sitting on the ground, Yang Kai’s expression was brilliant, but he was meticulously absorbing all kinds of essence. Slowly, the pain faded away and Yang Kai fell into a state of emptiness, no longer able to feel anything outside his body.
At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, a divine light overflowing from them. Obviously, he had gained quite a bit, he blinked and the light disappeared.
Looking up again, he saw that the dozen or so Dragon Soul phantoms around him had clearly dimmed significantly compared to when he first saw them. He knew that they must have consumed a lot of energy, so he cupped his fists respectfully and expressed his gratitude.
The Dragon Souls of more than ten generations of Great Elders all nodded before disappearing amidst a series of dragon roars.
A powerful repulsive force spread out and Yang Kai found himself outside the Dragon Palace Temple.
Turning his head to look around, he saw Yang Xiao standing next to him, his brow furrowed with an unhappy look on his face. Obviously, he had just been teleported out.
“Are you alright?” Yang Kai rubbed his head.
Yang Xiao shook his head, “I’m fine.”
Seeing these two appear, Zhu Yan and the others who had been waiting all this time also flew over.
Fu Zhun observed Yang Xiao’s expression and saw that there was something wrong with his expression, causing her heart to sink. Not daring to ask him, she turned to Yang Kai and asked, “How is it?”
Yang Kai smiled bitterly, “I don’t know.”
Zhu Yan frowned, “What do you mean?”
Yang Kai could only tell them that he had been separated from Yang Xiao the moment he entered, so he didn’t know anything about his situation until now.
Hearing this, Zhu Yan also understood that he couldn’t ask anything from Yang Kai, so he could only look at Yang Xiao and ask, “How are the results of the Ancestors’ examination?”
Yang Xiao lowered his head and remained silent. Although he did not answer, his appearance was the best answer.
Zhu Yan’s body swayed, wanting to say something, but he couldn’t. In the end, he could only sigh and pat Yang Xiao’s head.
Fu Zhun squatted down in front of Yang Xiao and smiled, “It’s alright, you’re Mother’s child, so what if your Origin is impure? Mother will take care of you in the future.”
“Mother! I’m sorry,” Yang Xiao’s mouth dropped as she rushed into Fu Zhun’s embrace and cried.
“How could this be?” Yang Kai stroked his chin, a look of confusion appearing on his face. He had thought that since the Dragon Soul in Dragon Palace was willing to examine Yang Xiao, there should be no problem, so how could it have ended up like this? Could it be that Yang Xiao really had some kind of innate deficiency or was affected by his incubation?
Yang Xiao’s every action was closely related to Fu Zhun’s body and mind. She was already forcing a smile on her face, so when the little fellow cried, it naturally caused her to cry.
The mother and son hugged each other and cried miserably. Zhu Yan was also quite upset, and even Zhu Qing’s attempts to comfort them were useless.
When the mother and son pair finally calmed down, Zhu Yan took them away.
Yang Kai followed Zhu Qing back to Cresent Moon Island.
Although he had previously consoled Yang Xiao that even if his Origin Source was impure, it was still a form of comfort. Only as a member of the Dragon Race could one understand the sorrow of having an impure Origin Source. It was absolutely impossible to integrate with the Dragon Race. Even if he was born by the Great Elder and Second Elder, he was still an outsider to the Dragon Race.
However, this way, Yang Xiao would really have to leave with him. He couldn’t stay on Dragon Island, forcing him to stay would only break the Dragon Race’s rules.
However, Yang Kai couldn’t figure out whether the reason for this was Yang Xiao’s inherent deficiencies or his own fault.
Zhu Qing had obviously noticed his uneasiness, so she spent the next few days gently serving him, allowing him to relax slightly.
