Chapter 47 (2/2)

After he later entered seclusion and activated the surrounding array formations, he would also place a few paper dolls in each room.

If someone came into contact with the array formations, the paper dolls’ restrictions would be activated right away and transform into his own figure, which would be enough to pa.s.s off as genuine!

That was simply a necessity to avoid being plotted against!

Unfortunately, such a design was still not perfect. He would still have a one-seventh chance of being stabbed to death.

“Ling’e, I’m going to start seclusion now.”

After receiving Li Changshou’s voice transmission, Li Changshou quickly walked to the door and waved her hand at him, who was standing on the tower s.h.i.+p.

When Li Changshou conjured a seal with both hands, layers of array formations on the wooden raft were activated, covering a huge area of the lake below. The little wooden raft became fuzzier under the layers of light.

In a short while, a lot of white mists emerged on the surface of the water. Lan Ling’e could no longer see where her senior brother was.

Li Changshou put paper dolls in each room and secretly went to a cabin room. He fumbled to set up an array formation in the corner and opened a secret compartment, where the clear lake water was underneath…

After conjuring a seal, he used his Illusion Spell to transform into a spiritual fish, entered the water without a sound, and swam towards the bottom of the water that had been shrouded by layers of array formations, leaving only seven paper dolls in each cabin room.

He had made such a huge wooden raft because he wanted to let these few layers of array formations cover the underwater.

It was Li Changshou’s third seclusion place at the bottom.

When his master had brought little Ling’e up the mountain in the past, he had also entered seclusion here and achieved initial success in condensing the Cold Nether Fire.

In the Five Elements, water was able to restrain fire. It was actually an exceptional technique to prevent self-explosion caused by the convergence of too much fire when cultivating a fire spell underwater.

However… a small part of the Little Qiong Peak, which used to be green and lush, was suddenly bare.

…

The East Ocean, Crystal Palace.

“How dare you, Ao Yi!

“How dare you spout nonsense and disrespect your elders! You have disgraced the prestige of the race, and defamed the honor of the race!

“Do… Do you know what kind of offense this is!”

In the s.p.a.cious, empty palace of the second prince, the young Ao Yi from the dragon race had been tied to an iron pillar by chains. He closed his eyes tightly and vaguely heard the scoldings at the side of his ear.

He sneered and endured the pain on his back, still looking very firm.

Ao Yi now felt that this Crystal Palace was very absurd and incomparably ridiculous.

When he had stood at the celebration feast on the other day, he faced his father and said, “I want to become a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect and cultivate like the Saint of the Three Schools!”

That shock, disbelief, and change in expression of the dragon’s head…

Those ridiculous scoldings due to his disgraceful behavior and disgrace brought upon the dragon race…

The aura rus.h.i.+ng forth from those dragon experts crushed his 10-year-old body on the spot!

The ones who had scolded him on that day were either his father’s brothers or the older dragons. They had the right to scold this nephew of theirs.

Those chancellors of those races of the ocean and those generals of the dragon race without the bloodline of the Dragon King had also not dared to utter a word. However, they shot him a contemptuous look.

When he had gone to pay respect to the Saints, he had been regarded as disgraceful.

When he had gone out to become a disciple and cultivate, he had been regarded as a rebel of the dragon race.

This was ridiculous, really ridiculous…

“This is extremely ridiculous!” Ao Yi could not help but berate with a painful look on his delicate face.

Ice-cold force appeared on the iron pillar behind his back, and icicles pierced through his fair, clear, and smooth back, causing Ao Yi to tremble from the pain.

However, he still had a sober gaze, and his determination did not vanish at all!

A few moments ago, his mother had just left and persuaded him to admit his mistakes early…

“My son, are the skills from our race not enough for you to learn? Are the treasures from our race not enough for you to play with?

“Why did you have to do such absurd things, and even say those absurd words before so many uncles of our race?

“You want to join the Saints, but did you know that they don’t take in disciples from the dragon race except for the Jie School?

“That Chan School’s master had taken in an illegitimate dragon as his disciple in the past. He had used his treasures to strip away the last destiny from the dragon race and placed them on his disciple.

“How can our race forget such a humiliation?

“My son, who has confused you?’

How could Ao Yi not understand these words from his mother and know the truth?

One of the 12 Golden Immortals of the Chan School, Perfected Yellow Dragon, was clearly a bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon. Back then, he had only been seriously injured and landed in the Kunlun Mountains. He had been cared for by the Three Pure Ones, who had yet to become Saints, and became an ornamental dragon of the Three Pure Ones.

Before the Ancient Saint had appeared, the dragon race had treated that as a disgrace. They had severed all ties with Perfected Yellow Dragon and even removed his name from the Dragon Registry.

Afterward, the Three Pure Ones had become Saints. The dragon race had not been able to put down their dignity to curry favor with Perfected Yellow Dragon. Instead, they had started to spread rumors within the race and called him an illegitimate dragon.

As for the so-called Saints did not take in disciples of the dragon race…

After the Three Pure Ones had become Saints, a group of experts from the dragon race had brought the young dragon forward to be a disciple at the Golden Turtle Island and were very respectful to the Saints.

However, they had heard that the Grandmaster of Heaven took in the least disciples. He had only allowed the most outstanding disciples of the dragon race to become disciples of the Saints. They had not become a disciple of the Saints directly. The experts of the dragon race had turned back and felt that the Saints were humiliating them…

What kind of absurdity was that?

This was absurd!

Ao Yi trembled lightly all over, and the light on the iron pillar on his back gradually weakened.

‘I, Ao Yi, have to endure this.’

Only he, the Second Prince of the Dragon King, could completely become humble and a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, which had a rank in the middle of the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools…

Even if he knelt before the Immortal Du Sect and became an in-name disciple… could he break through the pointless arrogance of the dragon race and tear apart their twisted self-esteem!

If these humiliations still could not awaken the dead-drunk dragon race, then he would stand on the peak of all spirits as a Saint!

At that time, he would ask these ancient elders… what was the way out for the dragon race!?

After taking a breath, Ao Yi opened his mouth and screamed, “Let me out! I want to see my father! I want to go to the Immortal Du Sect, and become a disciple and learn the Dao!”

A group of maidservants outside the hall felt sorry for him on their teary, delicate faces. However, they were stopped by the flood dragon troops and could not go near the Second Prince.
