"The Dragon Gate?" Lin Fei was taken aback. In fact, the legend of the Dragon Gate has been handed down for ages. Rumors say that in ancient times, there was a Dragon Gate that appeared in rivers and lakes. Any creature that leaped over this gate would transform into a dragon. There was once a carp that succeeded, giving rise to the saying "carp leaping over the Dragon's Gate". Considering that the Green King's original form was a carp, could it be...?

"Where is this Dragon Gate?" Lin Fei's curiosity was piqued; he naturally wanted to see this mysterious gate for himself.

Shaking his head, the Green King responded, "The Dragon Gate has vanished. I'm not sure where it originally came from or where it disappeared. All I know is that after I fortuitously leaped over the Dragon Gate, I became sentient.

Moreover, I instinctively knew the methods of cultivation. Even though I still appear as a carp, I can clearly feel that I'm no longer just a carp but, perhaps, the legendary dragonfish!

Once I reached the peak of the king level, I felt that to progress further, I needed to transform into a real dragon, and that required journeying to the vast oceans. I didn't know how to undergo this transformation, so I followed my instincts and consumed exotic beasts that resonated with the real dragon bloodline within me, like the Azure Flood Dragons. Their blood seemed to greatly enhance my own. Perhaps, with more time and consumption, I might find the path to becoming a true dragon."

Lin Fei gazed at the Green King, thinking how incredibly fortunate he was to encounter something as legendary as the Dragon Gate.

Yet, from the Green King's description, Lin Fei believed that this Dragon Gate might be a powerful magic treasure. However, the capabilities of this treasure were beyond imagination.

To transform an ordinary carp into a creature with a true dragon's bloodline, with the potential of a full transformation into a dragon, was staggering. Such a magic treasure was unfathomable. Even a Dao Artifact, which Lin Fei possessed, couldn't compare to its celestial abilities. This had to be a magic treasure far surpassing Dao Artifacts.

"Wait, if you're to transform into a dragon, you have the bloodline of a true dragon inside you?" Lin Fei's gaze sharpened as he stared at the Green King.

"It should be the bloodline of a true dragon," the Green King replied hesitantly, feeling uneasy under Lin Fei's intense scrutiny.

Lin Fei did not press further. Instead, he released the Green King, taking him back to the ancestral land of the Azure Dragon clan.

"Master, that's..."

The Azure Flood Dragon King immediately noticed the Green King, eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Azure Flood Dragon King, from now on, Green King will be like you," Lin Fei said to the Azure Flood Dragon King.

The Azure Flood Dragon King was taken aback. He clearly understood Lin Fei's words. The Green King, like the Azure Flood Dragon King, would now be following Lin Fei. He was to put aside his past grievances.

Although the Azure Flood Dragon King was reluctant, he knew he couldn't defeat the Green King. Moreover, without Lin Fei's intervention, he would have been consumed by the Green King. Therefore, he could only reply respectfully, "Yes, Master."

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

The Green King didn't even glance at the Azure Flood Dragon King. Even though he was now under Lin Fei's control, he didn't think highly of him, considering him a mere defeated opponent.

However, despite the heavy losses the Azure Flood Dragon clan faced, with only a few hundred remaining, their lineage was not completely wiped out. With time, they could proliferate and their clan might see glorious days once again.

"Azure Flood Dragon King, open the ancestral land," Lin Fei commanded. He hadn't forgotten the purpose of this journey. He was searching for the true dragon bloodline to replenish the Azure Dragon blood within him and make his lineage complete. He hoped to find what he needed in the ancestral land of the Azure Flood Dragon clan.

Following the command, the Azure Flood Dragon King opened the ancestral land, and Lin Fei entered. It looked deserted as if there was nothing there. But deep within, there was a tomb.

"Is this the tomb of the Azure Dragon? The tomb of a true dragon?" Lin Fei thought with surprise. It was unexpected to find a tomb of a real dragon here. This meant there could be a dragon's body buried beneath. While Lin Fei wasn't interested in the corpse itself, he was keen on the true dragon bloodline inside it.

"Azure Flood Dragon King, I need the bloodline of the true dragon. Therefore, I need to check if there's an Azure Dragon's body inside this tomb. I need to excavate!" Lin Fei informed the Azure Flood Dragon King, out of respect. After all, this tomb, being the resting place of a true dragon, was the most sacred place for the Azure Flood Dragon clan. It was, in a sense, the origin of their lineage. The existence of the Azure Dragon was what led to the emergence of the Azure Flood Dragon clan.

"Master, please proceed," the Azure Flood Dragon King said with gritted teeth. He was in no position to deny Lin Fei's request. His fate was in Lin Fei's hands; what right did he have to refuse?

"Alright, let's begin." Lin Fei reached out his hand and struck the tomb of the true dragon. With a loud "bang", the tomb burst open. Lin Fei's consciousness extended, spreading throughout the entire island. Surprisingly, the tomb of the true dragon wasn't just in this location but spanned the entire island. The whole island was the tomb of the true dragon!

As Lin Fei attuned himself to the tomb, he immediately sensed the dragon's skeletal remains within. The passage of time had been long, leaving behind only a skeleton. Even true dragons decay. Either this dragon didn't die of natural causes or its body simply couldn't withstand the test of time, leading to its decay. All that remained was a mere skeleton. But even as just a set of bones, it emanated an awe-inspiring and terrifying aura. Both the Azure Flood Dragon King and the Green King felt an overwhelming pressure, a suppression originating from their bloodlines.

The Dragon! Superior to all beings.

The Azure Flood Dragon clan and the Green King, in their true forms, are akin to carp. By nature, they inherently feared dragons. Their bloodlines were suppressed. Unless they transform into dragons, no matter how powerful they become, they would tremble in the presence of a dragon, unable to fully exhibit their strengths. This was the suppression of life and bloodline.

Without a doubt, these were the remains of a true dragon.

"Ancestor!" The Azure Flood Dragon King immediately knelt, followed by the rest of his clan. While their bloodlines felt suppressed, there was also a sense of familiarity. These bones were likely the remains of the ancestor of the Azure Dragon clan, from whom the Azure Flood Dragon clan descended.

However, Lin Fei frowned. Indeed, a true dragon was buried in the tomb, but only its bones remained.

With only the bones left, there was no bloodline. Where would Lin Fei find the true dragon's blood now?

"Are there any other dragon tombs besides this one?" Lin Fei asked.

"No, only this one."

"Has your Azure Flood Dragon clan preserved anything like a drop of the Azure Dragon's essence or blood?"

"If we had something like that, would our clan be in this dire state? We would have used it long ago..."

Lin Fei fell silent. Indeed, if they possessed the dragon's blood, the Azure Flood Dragon clan would have used it. Why would they wait until now? But without the dragon's blood, what could he do?

"The blood of the true dragon..." Lin Fei's gaze shifted to the Green King, a glint of realization in his eyes.
