The Quest for Immortality

It’s called a dragon, but it’s not entirely a dragon.

It has a dragon head, dragon eyes, dragon mouth, and dragon whiskers and claws, yet its body resembles a human, dressed in a blue-black dragon robe, wearing a crown of gold and jade, with beads and jewels hanging, sitting dignified on the throne of the high hall, with power to rule the world, exceedingly noble and imposing.

Mo Hua glanced around and found himself in a grand hall.

The hall was towering, with dragons carved around it, surrounded by mist.

On both sides were rows of ”nobles” in fine robes, including ministers, military generals, and priests.

They had human appearances, but their bodies had small parts that were ”Dragon Transformed,” some with dragon claws, some with dragon scales, or some with dragon whiskers.

All of these people bowed their heads and stooped their chests, respectfully kneeling on the ground, making grand gestures towards the person on the throne who was half-dragon, half-emperor.

In the vast Dragon Hall, the only one standing was Mo Hua.

At this moment, Mo Hua stood beneath the hall, looking up at the ”Dragon Emperor” residing on the throne above.

The Dragon Emperor, dressed in dragon-patterned ceremonial attire, looked down at Mo Hua with a deep and dignified voice:

”Since you see this emperor, why do you not kneel?”

Kneel?

Should I kneel immediately upon meeting?

Mo Hua frowned slightly, a bit displeased, retorting: ”What are you? Why should I kneel to you?”

”How audacious!” The Dragon Emperor became enraged.

This shout was like a clap of thunder, echoing through the Dragon Hall, stirring up dragon roars, shaking the four corners.

All the ministers turned pale with fear.

But under this tumultuous Divine Thought power and mighty dragon aura, Mo Hua’s expression remained calm, unmoved.

The Dragon Emperor squinted slightly, giving Mo Hua a long look, slowly saying:

”You... are not my Great Wilderness royal descendant?” .

Mo Hua shook his head, honestly saying: ”No.”

”Since you are not a child of my Great Wilderness royal family, how did you enter this Great Wilderness Dragon Hall?” The Dragon Emperor pondered for a moment, coldly asking, ”Where did you get the Dragon Vein? And who guided your way?”

Mo Hua was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, feeling a bit puzzled.

The Dragon Vein was indeed in his hand.

But... a guide?

Someone guided him, enabling him to enter this Dragon Hall, meeting this revered Dragon Emperor?

Who?

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

Possessing the Dragon Vein, having someone to guide, creating the dreamland Dragon Hall, that means...

Mo Hua pondered, looking up to ask the Dragon Emperor, ”Is this the Heritage Taoist Field of the Great Wilderness?”

”Indeed.” The Dragon Emperor said in a deep voice.

As expected...

Mo Hua raised his head and directly asked him: ”Will you pass the legacy of the Great Wilderness on to me?”

Without anger but imposing, a cold glint flowed in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes.

Under his command, a dragon general in dragon armor, with green eyes, vertical pupils, bushy brows, and long whiskers, stepped forward, pointing a spear at Mo Hua, rebuking:

”Ignorant child, what audacity! Without Great Wilderness bloodline, you dare covet the legacy of my Great Wilderness royal family? How dare you?”

Mo Hua snorted coldly, ”I’m talking to your master, what are you? A mere sentry, dare to interrupt?”

The dragon general was instantly furious, ”Impudent wretch, speaking without manners. I will kill you for His Majesty right now!”

It bowed to the Dragon Emperor, then revealed a murderous intent, gripping the spear tightly, leaping down from the hall, transforming into a dragon, with the spear tip shimmering coldly, aiming straight at Mo Hua’s face.

This spear strike was formidable.

The spear body was wrapped with the shadow of an Azure Dragon, complementing the burly, golden-armored dragon general, appearing momentarily as if a celestial being.

Mo Hua merely sneered, reaching out a small hand, gently gripping, firmly holding the formidable spear tip in his palm.

The spear tip’s dragon shadow flickered, exuding murderous aura.

Mo Hua’s hand, small and fair, seemed to possess the power to command the universe, effortlessly grasping the spear tip, rendering the dragon general incapable of movement despite its exertions.

The dragon general’s expression changed, it exerted Dragon Power, attempting to change its move.

But Mo Hua had already twisted his wrist, using his formidable Divine Thought Power, directly broke the spear, then stepped forward, giving a small kick.

This seemingly light kick contained immense power.

The dragon general, similar to a ”cannonball,” was directly blasted away, crashing into the Dragon Hall wall, not knowing how many bones shattered, falling into unconsciousness.

Just a twist and a kick, and the mighty dragon general was rendered useless by Mo Hua.

Inside the Dragon Hall, the ministers were shaken, their expressions frightened.

They anticipated that this youth, daring to be so audacious, must have some reliance.

Yet unexpectedly, he turned out to be this formidable.

The fierce general under the Dragon Emperor’s command was merely a single round opponent.

On the throne, the dragon-headed human with a dignified aura, the Dragon Emperor, also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Such courage and vigor at a young age, if recruited under this emperor, made a vassal, could surely enhance the prestige of my Great Wilderness...

The Dragon Emperor’s eyes showed contemplation.

But Mo Hua also looked up, addressing the Dragon Emperor, ”You don’t wish to pass the Great Wilderness legacy to me, then let me go back.”

He didn’t really want to cause trouble and certainly didn’t want to become an enemy of the Great Wilderness royal family.

The Great Wilderness royal family had a long history, and with the Karma Dragon protecting them, who knows how many secrets are hidden behind, best not to provoke them if possible.

Not to mention it was their first meeting, Mo Hua didn’t want to escalate the matter too intensely.

As for the dragon general, had it not been for appearing so arrogant and making a move on him first, he wouldn’t have kicked it flying with a foot.

Even then, he showed some mercy.

Otherwise, with his current Divine Thought in Core Formation, his pure golden Dao transformed body, just a bit more force would have smashed the dragon general into powder.

Thus, it was best for everyone to let it rest.

The Dragon Emperor looked at Mo Hua, contemplated for a while, then slowly said, ”You no longer desire my Great Wilderness’s legacy?”

Mo Hua paused, retorted, ”You can give it to me?”

The Dragon Emperor shook his head, ”To attain my Great Wilderness legacy requires the bloodline of an orthodox Great Wilderness royal descendant, which you do not have.”
