"Master, do you still remember the small town where I was before joining the Cloud Sea Sect?"
Xuanyuan Changfeng nodded. Spirit Martial Town was quite a distance away, approximately tens of thousands of miles. At that time, Xuanyuan Changfeng personally led the disciples of Cloudscroll Pavilion to welcome Ye Tian, showing great sincerity.
"Near Spirit Martial Town, there is a vast mountain range, bordered by Spirit Martial River, which separates Spirit and Martial Duality," Ye Tian continued.
"Are you saying that there are High-Level Elixirs in that mountain range?" Xuanyuan Changfeng asked.
"That's right. Not only high-level ones; it's likely that in the deepest parts, Celestial Level elixirs could also be found," Ye Tian analyzed. This was not just empty talk; after all, the Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range was home to countless powerful beasts. It was rumored that deep within lived the Celestial Level ninth-grade Supreme Beast, the Crimson Feather Nine-Headed Phoenix. Such a formidable creature could be considered one of the strongest beings aside from Primeval beasts.
"Is that so?" Xuanyuan Changfeng was quite surprised. Although he never rejected and even practiced secret techniques from other sects, as a Martial Sovereign, he had always believed that there were no elixirs within the realm of Martial Sovereigns. Even if there were any, they would only be low-level ones.
"Yes, but the depths of Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range are extremely dangerous and not a place one can easily enter," Ye Tian said seriously. He did not doubt Xuanyuan Changfeng's abilities; rather, after witnessing the Guardian Beast of the Sect last night, he had gained a new understanding of beast power.
Perhaps even the Primeval Red Dragon could not be considered the strongest beast body.
"Well, but rewards and dangers are always proportional," Xuanyuan Changfeng slowly nodded and made his decision after a moment.
For his disciple Wine Kid, he had to take the risk.
"Master, can you tell me about Wine Kid…"
"His bloodline is of the same type as yours," Xuanyuan Changfeng knew what Ye Tian wanted to ask and answered without hesitation.
"Dragon Blood?" Ye Tian was quite surprised; he never expected that Wine Kid also possessed Primeval dragon blood within him.
"That's right, but..." Xuanyuan Changfeng paused, a look of worry and helplessness appearing in his eyes. After a moment, he sighed and said, "But it is the Nightmare Dragon..."
"The Nightmare Dragon?" Ye Tian was shocked again. Although he did not know what the Nightmare Dragon was, he could tell from the bloodthirsty gaze of the Wine Kid after his transformation that this creature was certainly not benign.
"The Nightmare Dragon, the most evil of dragon species," Xuanyuan Changfeng sighed again, then laughed self-deprecatingly, "I don't know if it's my luck or misfortune that among my disciples, there are actually two individuals with Dragon Blood."
"Master, is the Nightmare Dragon also a Primeval dragon?" Ye Tian asked again, sensing that the Nightmare Dragon might have some connection to the Crimson Dragon.
"Exactly. All dragon species are Primeval beasts," Xuanyuan Changfeng nodded.
"Then... if there isn't enough spiritual medicine to suppress the Wine Kid's true form as a Nightmare Dragon, what will happen to him?" Ye Tian asked tentatively, though he could already imagine that scenario.
Slaughtering the world, transforming into a demon dragon!
"I don't know. At least for now, it can still be suppressed. After all, the Nightmare Dragon blood within him is still dormant and only occasionally flares up..."
Xuanyuan Changfeng's words were clearly unfinished. Ye Tian knew what he was hesitating about but still asked, "What about in the future?"
Although reluctant to face it, Xuanyuan Changfeng was well aware that with his abilities, he could not completely suppress the awakening of the Nightmare Dragon's true form. Moreover, the Wine Kid was not like Ye Tian; he did not possess an extraordinarily resilient heart. When the Nightmare Dragon blood awakened, it would likely be when the Wine Kid completely lost control.
"From my analysis, within thirty years, the Nightmare Dragon blood in the Wine Kid should not awaken. During this time, I will do my best to find a way to break it. If that day truly comes... I will personally kill him before the Wine Kid completely transforms."
After saying this, Xuanyuan Changfeng turned and walked to the edge of the doorway, gazing at the rushing waterfall below, feeling a mix of emotions.
Ye Tian had long guessed this outcome. With Xuanyuan Changfeng's strength, it seemed he really could not completely suppress the Nightmare Dragon blood within the Wine Kid. In that case, killing his beloved disciple with his own hands—what kind of struggle and righteousness would that entail?
"Master, you don't need to worry too much. Thirty years is a long time, and we can accomplish many things," Ye Tian said as he walked over to offer comfort.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Changfeng gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "You think too simply. Thirty years is just a final deadline. During this time, the blood of the Nightmare Dragon will gradually awaken."
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Changfeng suddenly shook his arms, and dark green scales began to grow on him, shimmering with a cold light.
"This incomplete form of mine is actually the blood of the Nightmare Dragon."
"What?!" Ye Tianxin's head spun, and he instinctively took a step back.
"You don't need to panic. I never intended for this to happen, but once again, the Wine Kid went on a rampage. Coincidentally, while I was searching for spiritual herbs, I got into a fight with a beast and was injured. I accidentally got splashed with the blood of the Wine Kid on my wound, which led to my current incomplete form of the Nightmare Dragon," Xuanyuan Changfeng explained as he retracted his form.
"Master, this..." Ye Tian found it hard to understand. Could one drop of blood really allow someone to cultivate such a form?
Seemingly sensing Ye Tian's confusion, Xuanyuan Changfeng continued, "The Nightmare Dragon is different from others. Its most terrifying aspect is not just its overwhelming strength but also its strange ability to assimilate other beings. This is one of the reasons it is called a demon dragon."
"So that means you also..."
"That's right. I have already become part Nightmare Dragon, though it's incomplete for now. To fully develop it will likely take at least three hundred years, so rest assured, I won't bring disaster to the world," Xuanyuan Changfeng said with a smile.
Ye Tian was taken aback and quickly replied, "Master, that's not what I meant."
In truth, that wasn't his intention at all. He was thinking that if Xuanyuan Changfeng had already been infected by the Nightmare Dragon, then treating him should be the top priority. After all, the Nightmare Dragon blood within him was still in its nascent state; eliminating it shouldn't be too difficult.
At that moment, Xuanyuan Changfeng suddenly turned his head and fixed his gaze on Ye Tian. "Do you know why I chose you as my direct disciple?"
"Disciple does not know." Ye Tian, with only a partial understanding, simply claimed ignorance.
"After you entered the mountain, the blood of the Nightmare Dragon within me began to show abnormalities; it sensed the presence of the Crimson Dragon."
"The meaning of Master is that dragon blood can sense each other, but why can't I perceive your blood?" Ye Tian asked in confusion. Previously, Xuanyuan Changfeng had activated his Crimson Dragon Golden Blood once, which left him perplexed.
"Because your form suppresses the essence of the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood. Do you understand what I mean?" Xuanyuan Changfeng asked.
"The essence of the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood cannot overcome my will?" Ye Tian questioned in doubt.
Xuanyuan Changfeng nodded and said, "That's right. You are different from the Wine Kid. In the future, he will be occupied by the Nightmare Dragon, while you will harness the power of the Crimson Dragon. This is the difference between you two. Although you cannot control the power of the Crimson Dragon's Golden Blood now, when you fully master it, that will be the true body of the Crimson Dragon. As for us, we cannot be considered hosts of the Nightmare Dragon."
"Is there really such a thing?" Ye Tian was astonished. The idea that blood alone could control a person's mind was truly unfathomable, especially since that blood came from before the Primeval era.
"In fact, as long as one's will is strong enough, we could also suppress the essence of the Nightmare Dragon and harness its power for ourselves. But unfortunately, we do not possess such a formidable spiritual will," Xuanyuan Changfeng shook his head and added, "Child, I really want to know what you have experienced."
"I..." Ye Tian was momentarily at a loss for words. It wasn't that he didn't want to reveal his past; rather, he genuinely did not feel that his will was particularly strong. Furthermore, regarding his father, he vaguely sensed that it would involve significant matters.
"It's fine if you don't want to say; just know that I place my hopes on you," Xuanyuan Changfeng said as he patted Ye Tian's shoulder.
Ye Tian wanted to say something, but Xuanyuan Changfeng continued: "The hope I speak of is not limited to within Cloud Sea Sect; do you understand?"
"The people of the world?" Ye Tian seemed to vaguely understand. The Nightmare Dragon and Crimson Dragon were both pinnacle existences from before the Primeval era. If they were all awakened, they indeed could not be constrained by a sect like Cloud Sea Sect. Even though Cloud Sea Sect was a dominant force within tens of thousands of miles, in the grand scope of the Heavenly Choice Continent, it might just be a grain of sand in a vast ocean.
"Perhaps I am worrying too much; without that strength yet still thinking about carrying the hopes of all living beings..." Xuanyuan Changfeng's expression suddenly grew despondent as he gazed through the heavy and rushing waterfall towards the distant sky.
"Master, if possible, I will do my utmost," Ye Tian nodded heavily, then added, "I also don't want to hide it from you. My father is very likely an extraordinary person."
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Changfeng was intrigued. After all, Ye Tian possessed the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood at such a young age; his identity must be quite remarkable, similar to that of the Wine Kid.
"Do you recognize this?" Ye Tian asked as a flash of light appeared at his fingertips, revealing half of a dark red Martial Emblem in his hand.
"This!" Xuanyuan Changfeng was taken aback and quickly took the half Martial Emblem from Ye Tian's hand, examining it seriously.
Seeing this, Ye Tian was also shaken. Judging by his master's reaction, it was likely that he knew the origins of this half Martial Emblem.
After a long while, Xuanyuan Changfeng took a deep breath and said, "I don't know the specifics, but I do know that this type of Martial Emblem is recorded in the War God Codex."
"War God Codex?"
"That's right, it was personally written by the current War God." Xuanyuan Changfeng's tone carried a hint of excitement and reverence when he mentioned the War God.
"Where can I read the War God Codex?" Ye Tian asked eagerly.
"In the Martial Capital of the world, but there is one condition... you must have an understanding above Martial Emperor's Definition..."
"Martial Emperor's Definition..." Ye Tian fell into deep thought.
