Wang Yuanxian sighed, "This goes back to the time of the First Generation Dragon Head. When he claimed to have obtained the Dragon Heritage, it inevitably led to conflicts with the human leaders of that time. The struggle between the two sides intensified and eventually erupted, resulting in the first large-scale split within the human race."
"I believe those who followed the original beliefs of humanity formed the ancestral line of today's various human tribes after the departure of the great leader; while those who believed in the Dragon Head's words and acknowledged his status became the ancestors of my Dragon City people."
"In that era, our lineage was prosperous and recognized as the legitimate human race by the Hundred Clans of Demons. However, as time passed, another lineage of humans rose and surpassed my Dragon City people. Yet... even they had to admit that when Spiritual Intelligence was awakened, it was largely inspired by the First Generation Dragon Head!"
Wang Long gazed at the half-human, half-dragon sculpture, and in his mind, a god-like figure appeared, smiling as he spread civilization and creation while roaring amidst the chaos of battle with the Hundred Clans of Demons. He was so powerful and so wise...
In an instant, an overwhelming sense of admiration welled up in his heart.
Wang Yuanxian suddenly chuckled bitterly, "It seems I really am getting old; I’ve become so chatty about these ancient matters from thousands of years ago. It's pointless to dwell on them. Did you come here today with something you wish to ask me?"
Wang Long came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, you know I have been sealed from the Dragon Vein since childhood and cannot simply rely on Martial Arts to absorb Dragon Qi to break through and enhance my cultivation. Therefore, I can only focus most of my energy on external Dragon Techniques. However, recently I have found that no matter how hard I think, I cannot create more powerful Martial Arts."
Wang Yuanxian smiled and said, "As a member of the Wang family, what you should be most proud of is your intellect—the ability to create Martial Arts that suit you best. It’s understandable that you are troubled by this... However, in my opinion, at your current level, being able to create killing moves like Free Thunder Blade and Thunderfire Sun is already your limit!"
"These two ultimate techniques derived from comprehending the Natural Way far exceed your own breakthrough into Four Dragon Veins in terms of perspective. To achieve further breakthroughs is indeed harder than reaching for the sky!"
Wang Long couldn't help but smile bitterly and muttered, "So you're saying that before this Dragon Martial Arts ends, it’s really going to be difficult for me to make any progress?"
Wang Yuanxian suddenly smiled slyly, "Just because you can't create on your own doesn't mean others can't teach you..."
"You mean... you can teach me?!" Wang Long exclaimed joyfully.
"Ahem, I didn't say that. You could always ask that kid Zhang Tailai to teach you higher-level Dragon Techniques!" Wang Yuanxian stroked his beard and shook his head.
Wang Long's expression darkened as he replied, "It's not that I haven't sought Elder Zhang; however, he said that the Thunder Dragon Technique he can master only reaches the peak level of six Dragon Veins. In terms of power, it certainly far exceeds my self-created Martial Arts; however, when it comes to its essence and techniques, it's actually not very profound. He would rather let me comprehend it myself."
"Oh? This kid from the Zhang Family actually has some brains; he won't mislead his students..." Wang Yuanxian nodded in approval of Zhang Tailai's actions and smiled.
"Then, senior, you..." Wang Long looked at Wang Yuanxian with anticipation.
"Me? I can't teach you..."
Wang Long was almost in tears from laughter: "Then what have you been talking about for so long..."
Wang Yuanxian chuckled, "I can't teach you Dragon Techniques, but I never said I couldn't help you unlock your Dragon Veins!"
"What?!" Wang Long was taken aback. His situation was well-known in Dragon City; he had been sealed with a Dragon Soul inside him since childhood, and all his Dragon Veins were simultaneously sealed, making it impossible for him to unlock them through his own efforts. But this Wang Yuanxian... actually said he could help him unlock his Dragon Veins?!
"What's wrong? Don't believe me? There are always other ways to cultivate in this world. Not to mention, you have already unlocked Four Dragon Veins; doesn't that contradict the fact that your Dragon Veins are completely sealed?!"
Wang Long's heart stirred. For a moment, he felt that there was a piercing brilliance in Wang Yuanxian's eyes, as if he could see right through him! Could it be that he knew the secret between him and the Dragon Soul?
"Do you recognize this?" Wang Yuanxian smiled as he took out a scroll from his robe and gently unfolded it for Wang Long.
With the dim light in the Dragon Burial Shrine, Wang Long leaned in to take a closer look. However, he saw that the large scroll was mostly blank, with only a few clouds drifting at the top; apart from that, it was vast and empty.
"This is..." Wang Long felt doubtful but couldn't be sure. Suddenly, a Dragon Shadow abruptly emerged from the scroll, swiftly darting across the Cloud Sea and disappearing in an instant.
"It really is! This is one of the three ancestral treasures of the Wang family, the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll! How did it end up in your hands?!" Wang Long exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Yuanxian smiled and rolled up the scroll again: "That's not important. What's important is that after our last trip to Lingzhi Island, I have recognized your character and quality, so... this scroll is yours now!"
Wang Long was stunned. He naturally knew the great name of the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll; it was one of the three ancestral treasures of the Wang family and had a formidable reputation throughout Dragon City. Countless people coveted it!
This scroll was a divine artifact passed down from the First Generation Dragon Head! It could capture all kinds of beings, whether physical or spiritual, sealing them within the scroll. Without the owner's command, they could not escape!
Back then, who knows how many unruly demon clans and even dragon enemies were subdued by the First Generation Dragon Head using this treasure!
"My own? Just like that, it's given to me?" Wang Long couldn't quite believe it.
Wang Yuanxian smiled and said, "Easily? You are the direct disciple of the Wang family, the legitimate successor of the next generation Dragon Head. Moreover, you have gained my personal recognition after careful observation. If any of these conditions were missing, even the Heavenly King himself wouldn't be able to obtain this scroll. Do you still think it's easy?!"
Wang Long trembled slightly as he took the scroll, slowly unrolling it. At that moment, he saw the Cloud Sea rolling, but there was no Dragon Shadow passing through, just an empty and vast scene.
"Is it true that countless Monsters or powerful human souls are sealed within?" Wang Long couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, it's naturally true. However, the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll is divided into nine layers. With your cultivation level, you can at most see through the fourth layer; with all your effort, you might catch a glimpse of the fifth layer. There are very few Monsters here. After all, as a First Generation Dragon Head, how could the enemies sealed with magical treasures be mere small fry?!" Wang Yuanxian said with a smile.
Wang Long nodded and quickly understood this principle.
"With this Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll, I believe you know what to do, right? The future of Dragon City and our Wang family's future rests on your shoulders. You must not be the slightest bit negligent..."
Wang Long closed the scroll and nodded heavily!
