The Realm of Blazing Sun!
Indeed, this was an existence transcending stars and the bright moon. It could be said that at this moment, Ao Yuanba's strength had increased by at least tenfold.
"My lifespan!"
As his realm advanced into the Blazing Sun Realm, Ao Yuanba was somewhat stunned. "Three thousand years!"
"Patriarch, I... I've actually gained three thousand years of lifespan~"
Clearly, Ao Yuanba was directly shocked by his increased lifespan. A thousand years of lifespan was already a distant hope for him, and now it had jumped by three thousand years. To be honest, he wouldn't have dreamed of such a thing.
What!
Upon hearing the strongest elder's words, Ao Guang and all the Dragon clan powerhouses in the ancestral shrine were dumbfounded. What had they heard?
Who am I? Where am I?
For a moment, the entire place was in a state of shock!
Their eyes were fixed on Ao Yuanba. Not only had he stepped into the Blazing Sun Realm, but his lifespan had also increased by three thousand years. If this were the case, would their Dragon clan dominate for at least three thousand years?
After all, even their previous patriarch had only reached the peak of the ninth heaven of the Bright Moon realm, while Ao Yuanba's current strength surpassed that of the previous patriarch.
Blazing Sun Realm, First Heaven!
This was precisely Ao Yuanba's current realm. The little black dragon's intervention was clearly aimed at solidifying his position and also laying the groundwork for the Dragon clan's future entry into the Xuan Alliance.
If the master knew of his contribution, he would surely be very pleased.
The little black dragon thought to himself.
"I remember the Patriarch's great kindness!"
Ao Yuanba took a deep breath, then bowed respectfully with his hands clasped. His expression was extremely solemn. Clearly, as the one involved, he understood the significance of this more than anyone.
"No need for such formality."
The little black dragon smiled slightly. "Since you are now the Dragon clan's patriarch, you naturally must consider the clan's interests."
"If Elder Yuanba wishes to express his gratitude, then protect the Dragon clan's ancestral land well," the little black dragon said after a moment of thought.
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Ao Yuanba nodded heavily. This condition was too easy for him, as his duty was precisely to protect the Dragon clan.
With a slight wave of his hand, the little black dragon continued his plan of infiltration.
"By the way."
"Before I came, my elder brother gave me some pills, saying they would be very beneficial to the current Dragon clan."
Speaking half-truths, the little black dragon then produced three porcelain bottles. "These three porcelain bottles contain: the Breaking Star Pill, the Breaking Moon Pill, and the Breaking Sun Pill. As for their effects..."
With practiced ease, the little black dragon explained the effects of the three pills. Ao Yuanba and the others, who had initially been confused, were transformed into utter astonishment as they listened to their patriarch's explanation.
The Breaking Star Pill: Enhances the strength of peak experts below the ninth heaven of the Star Realm by one level, with no side effects!
The Breaking Moon Pill: Enhances the strength of peak experts below the ninth heaven of the Bright Moon Realm by one level, with no side effects!
The Breaking Sun Pill: Enhances the strength of peak experts below the ninth heaven of the Blazing Sun Realm by one level, with no side effects!
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom~~
The successive thunderous impacts truly left Ao Yuanba and the others utterly stunned, their minds as if struck by a colossal lightning bolt. Oh my heavens, were they dreaming?
"This is..."
Ao Bing was completely dumbfounded, swallowing hard with his mouth agape. Clearly, the scene before him had impacted him too greatly.
Ao Bing was like this, and Ao Guang and the others were no less shocked than him.
Because, the effect of the three pills was one thing, but more importantly, there were ten Breaking Sun Pills alone, a hundred Breaking Moon Pills, and over a thousand Breaking Star Pills!
At this moment, everyone looked at the little black dragon. Their new patriarch's eyes were bulging, as if about to pop out. My heavens, this was going to send their Dragon clan soaring to the heavens!
"Patriarch, who exactly is this elder you speak of!?"
Ao Guang licked his lips, truly overwhelmed by the impact of the current events. With this question, many Dragon clan powerhouses in the ancestral shrine became even more attentive.
Clearly, they were extremely curious about this question.
After all, it was easy to imagine who could produce such resources.
Sensing everyone's attention, the little black dragon's lips curved into an arc, because this was exactly what he wanted.
After a moment of thought, he then chuckled, "You probably haven't heard of my elder brother, but Ao Bing should know. My elder brother is the current leader of the eighth-rank force, the Xuan Alliance."
"What!!"
Ao Bing's heart trembled upon hearing this. He suddenly recalled the scene of being saved by a purple-gold divine dragon avatar in the Xuan Alliance. So... the Patriarch and that great being both came from that force.
But... how was this possible!
After all, that purple-gold divine dragon was no weaker than the Patriarch.
In that case!
The leader of the Xuan Alliance must be too terrifying!
The more he thought about it, the more frightening it became!
Ao Bing was completely unsettled. Moreover, it was important to note that such heaven-defying resources could be so easily produced, which was not something an eighth-rank force could achieve. In fact, even ninth-rank and saint-tier forces couldn't do it.
"Hoo~"
After a long period of shock, Ao Yuanba let out a deep sigh, looking at the heaven-defying resources before him. "Patriarch, the great being who bestowed such an opportunity upon our Dragon clan is like a rebirth."
"From now on, if that great being issues any command, our Dragon clan will do its utmost to fulfill it!"
Having said that, Ao Yuanba's gaze fell on the little black dragon. "Patriarch, from now on, the Dragon clan will be an eternal ally of the Xuan Alliance. If the Xuan Alliance faces any difficulties, no matter who the enemy is, our Dragon clan will fight alongside them."
"Oh?"
The little black dragon was not surprised by Ao Yuanba's words, but a meaningful arc flickered in his eyes. Eternal allies?
This was not what he wanted. His goal was to absorb the entire Dragon clan under the Xuan Alliance. However, at present, he was clearly much closer to this goal.
"Then I will thank Elder Yuanba and the Dragon clan on behalf of my elder brother."
The little black dragon said 'politely'. However, if Ao Yuanba and the others knew that Ye Xuan was not the little black dragon's elder brother, but his master, would they still be so calm? They might as well have immediately gathered their forces and annihilated the Xuan Alliance if they were not already showing enough restraint.
"By the way."
Ao Yuanba seemed to recall something and continued, "Patriarch, now that you have returned with the Dragon clan's patriarch ring, I believe it is also time for the Dragon clan's secret realm to open."
"Perhaps the Patriarch does not know, but the Dragon clan's secret realm is crucial for our Dragon clan's development. Only our Dragon clan's descendants can enter it and gain opportunities from within."
"Furthermore, those who hold the patriarch's ring can enter the deepest part of the secret realm and obtain great opportunities."
Ao Yuanba explained patiently, because if the Dragon clan's secret realm opened, their so-called lack of successors would be fundamentally resolved. Coupled with the resources from the Patriarch's mysterious elder brother, their Dragon clan would undoubtedly become a power that even the four hegemonic forces would look up to in the near future. Just thinking about it now made them incredibly excited.
