NOVEL NEXT Chapter 359: The Silent Thunder Gorge
"Huh? Why does my blood work... I'm not a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family."
Looking at the newly revealed text, Xiao Yu spoke in confusion.
The Silver Dragon King remained silent for a while before explaining.
"Perhaps it's because of the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon within you. The Nine Crowns of the True Dragon have been passed down through the human family for so long, carrying the life essence of several clan leaders. You've completely fused with the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon.
Therefore, your bloodline has also been forced to assimilate some of the life essence of those past clan leaders. Additionally, since you've been close to Liu Erlong, a woman from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, since childhood, your energies have mingled over time. Gradually, you've also absorbed some of Liu Erlong's aura. Isn't there a saying among humans that the longer a couple is together, the more similar they become? That's roughly the idea."
Hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, Xiao Yu was stunned. So that's how it was?!
So that's what people meant when they said you become half of the family—through the exchange of energy between a man and a woman, their energies merge, allowing one to carry the other's aura.
"Alright, enough of that. Since there's nothing else, continue searching for the Dragon Valley. Don't bother me unless it's important. Remember to break through to the Title Douluo level and develop divine power soon so you can help heal my injuries."
After saying this, the Silver Dragon King went offline.
Xiao Yu chuckled helplessly and continued reading the rest of the text on the scroll.
"If a genius emerges within the clan who can perfectly inherit the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon, they can search for the location of the Dragon Valley after fusing with the Nine Crowns.
Seek out new opportunities for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. I have a premonition that if our family can uncover the secrets within the Dragon Valley, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family may become a top-tier existence that even the Spirit Hall can only look up to and never catch up to!
However, be warned: unless one's strength reaches the demigod level, they must never enter the Dragon Valley recklessly. At the time, I was already a 95th-rank Title Douluo, but I was still injured by the dragon aura within the valley!
As for the location of the Dragon Valley, I've engraved it on the map. Once the destined person unlocks this message, drip another drop of blood onto the map, and you'll see the true map."
At this point, the first clan leader's advice officially ended. It seemed that this was the true conclusion.
This passage might be the reason why the first clan leader sealed the latter part of the text.
Because just the mention of the Dragon Valley's opportunities, which could surpass the Spirit Hall, would drive any clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family to madness.
Even the current clan leader, Yu Yuanzhen, would stop at nothing to throw lives into the Dragon Valley for its secrets!
After all, this was an opportunity to surpass the Spirit Hall. Even if this wasn't the first clan leader's ancient text, but just a rumor circulating the continent, countless families would still send people to investigate!
The reason was simple: surpassing the Spirit Hall—these five words alone were enough to excite many people's nerves!
Including the Spirit Hall itself!
Having been to the Dragon Valley, Yu Leishen knew that anyone below the demigod level who entered would surely die. Therefore, he didn't want his advice to become a guide for future generations to throw their lives away in search of resources.
Thus, he chose to seal this passage and the true map, waiting for a descendant with sufficient strength to unlock it and then strengthen the family.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family never managed to unlock the complete version of this map, then it was simply their fate.
With this in mind, Xiao Yu flipped the scroll to the front and dripped another drop of blood onto the map.
Soon, the previously incomprehensible map began to reveal new lines that had been hidden before.
With these new lines, the map now looked somewhat complete.
The complete map wasn't very large.
It only provided a general direction.
The most prominent feature was a gorge filled with lightning, and beyond it, an arrow marking an unknown location.
Unfamiliar with some of the continent's hidden locations, Xiao Yu went to the clan leader's residence.
After briefly explaining his purpose, Yu Yuanzhen immediately recognized the location marked on the map.
"This should be the Silent Thunder Gorge, located in the far east of the continent. The gorge is filled with violent lightning year-round, hence its name. It's also home to lightning-attribute spirit beasts.
The environment there is so harsh that it's rarely visited by anyone. Aside from members of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, few people choose to set foot there. Tomorrow, I'm taking my brother there to obtain his spirit ring! After all, my ninth spirit ring was obtained there!"
"The far east? That's different from what the first clan leader said about the north... Perhaps it was to prevent clan members from taking unnecessary risks."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu understood and then said:
"In that case, I'll accompany you tomorrow and help Master obtain his spirit ring!"
"Xiao Yu, you're coming too? Aren't you supposed to be searching for the Dragon Valley?"
Yu Yuanzhen asked, puzzled.
He had thought Xiao Yu would be searching for the Dragon Valley, so he hadn't planned to ask for his help in obtaining the spirit ring. After all, it was just a ninth spirit ring, and he could handle it himself.
Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen had already sent someone to notify Liu Erlong. She was also a Title Douluo and the daughter of his brother. Since she had the strength, she had to go!
Two 95th-rank Title Douluos and a peak Soul Douluo hunting a 70,000 to 80,000-year lightning-attribute spirit beast—this lineup was already quite impressive!
"Yes, I am searching for the Dragon Valley, but according to the map, the Dragon Valley seems to be deep within this gorge, so it's on the way!"
Xiao Yu explained.
"Oh, I see. That works out perfectly. With your help tomorrow, maybe we can try to find a 100,000-year spirit beast for my brother!"
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up as he spoke.
"That's fine. If it's really a 100,000-year spirit beast, I'll help you deal with it. Consider it a second betrothal gift for Master."
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but smile wryly.
His brother had really found a good son-in-law.
Immortal herbs given without hesitation.
A 100,000-year spirit ring offered just like that.
After chatting with Yu Yuanzhen for a while, Xiao Yu returned to his courtyard.
As soon as he entered, he saw Liu Erlong sitting on the bed, wearing a red gauze dress.
After receiving the message from Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen, Liu Erlong had rushed back without hesitation.
After all, it was her father. If she could help, she would!
What she didn't expect was that Xiao Yu had also returned, which worked out perfectly.
After hearing that Xiao Yu had gone to see Yu Yuanzhen, Liu Erlong had bathed and was waiting on the bed.
Now, seeing Xiao Yu return, she patted the spot beside her and spoke in a sultry tone.
"No need for extra words. Let's get to it while we talk!"
