After a pause, Hong Long was the one that came forward to step in front of the podium with a smug look on his face.

He was the only dragon among them, so if one was to talk about pure dragon bloodline, he would be the only one.

The others looked at him with doubt, but they didn’t say anything as they waited to see what would happen.

Hong Long walked up in front of the podium and then waited for something to happen. However, when he saw that nothing was happening, he raised his hand and placed it on the podium as if he was trying to activate something.

Seeing that nothing was happening still, he gathered his life energy in his hand and started injecting the podium with life energy.

The podium did absorb the life energy that Hong Long injected, but nothing happened in the end.

Hong Long’s expression became more and more ugly when he saw this.

Finally, he couldn’t help saying in a frustrated voice, “This thing must be broken!”

The other four watching him couldn’t help revealing faint smiles when they heard this, but then Lin Fan suggested, “It’s asking for the purest bloodline, so wouldn’t it require blood to test that?”

Hong Long was surprised to hear this, but he nodded in agreement to this.

So he reached a finger out and a drop of blood fell from the tip of his finger.

When it landed on the podium, it was immediately absorbed by the stone.

Nothing happened at first, but then there was a faint red glow that appeared around the podium. This faint red glow only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing without a trace.

Then there was nothing that followed it.

Hong Long just stared at the podium, as if he was expecting something to happen.

However, there was nothing that happened no matter how long he waited…

Finally, Lin Fan said, “I think that it didn’t work.”

Hong Long revealed an ugly expression again before saying with an annoyed voice, “I told you already, this thing is broken! I’m one of the elders of the Dragon Race and it still says that I don’t have a pure enough bloodline!”

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this, but he didn’t say anything.

He knew that this was just Hong Long’s way of making himself feel better.

But there was still the fact that they needed to find a dragon with pure enough bloodline to open this place.

So after thinking about it, Lin Fan called out some more people.

When they appeared, they couldn’t help being surprised by the fact that they had been called.

It was Qing Ao, Feng Ling, Lei Ting, their kids, and Xiao Feng that were called out.

Feng Ling, Lei Ting, and the four kids were naturally the most confused since they had no idea why Lin Fan called them. 

Feng Ling and Lei Ting were after all a phoenix and a qilin, so they played no part here.

As for the three girls, they had been busy with attracting their respective partners, so they didn’t care about anything that happened outside. Xiao Feng was currently in the clutches of Qing Bao Lan, so of course he knew nothing.

Only Qing Ao understood why he was called, but he couldn’t help asking in a worried voice, “Is it alright to summon us like this here?”

Lin Fan said with a nod, “This is a hidden place, they won’t sense you.”

Qing Ao had a skeptical look, but seeing the nod from Hong Long, he didn’t say anything else.

Instead, he turned to the podium and walked over until he was in front of it. Then he reached out his hand and lifted a finger over the podium before a drop of blood fell onto it like Hong Long had done before.

When the drop of blood fell onto the podium, there was a faint azure glow that appeared around the podium.

However, just like with Hong Long, this faint azure glow didn’t last long before disappearing without a trace. At the same time, there was nothing that happened around them.

It was clear that Qing Ao’s bloodline concentration wasn’t enough either.

Qing Ao revealed a depressed look, but he didn’t say anything about this. Instead, he turned to look at Qing Bao Lan and Xiao Feng who were still standing there holding each other.

The two of them were completely in their own little world, so they didn’t have any idea of what was happening.

But when Qing Bao Lan saw her dad looking at her, she couldn’t help being pulled out of this world. She looked back at Qing Ao and asked, “Dad, what is it?”

Qing Ao waved his hand at the two of them and said, “Come over here for a moment.”

Qing Bao Lan obediently came over, but she didn’t let go of Xiao Feng, so he was dragged over as well.

Qing Ao then picked up Qing Bao Lan, but since she was still holding Xiao Feng, he had to pick him up as well. He carried Qing Bao Lan over to the podium and had her reach a hand out over it.

With his life energy, he took a drop of blood from her hand, but when he did, Qing Bao Lan couldn’t help saying, “Ouch, that hurts daddy.”

Qing Ao appeased her, but his eyes were on the podium, waiting for a reaction from it.

After the podium absorbed the drop of blood, there was a silence before a stronger azure glow came from it.

It was much brighter compared to the glow that Qing Ao had created when it absorbed his blood, but it still faded away after a few seconds. After it faded, nothing happened just like before.

Seeing this, both Qing Ao and Hong Long revealed bitter smiles.

Qing Ao knew that the purity of his daughter’s bloodline was much greater than his own since he had seen all the training that Lin Fan had given her along with Xiao Feng. With that kind of training, it was hard for her not to have a pure bloodline.

But it seemed that it wasn’t enough for the podium to consider it the purest bloodline.

It wasn’t as if they didn’t have another way, but this was what they had wanted to avoid the entire time.

Xiao Feng had the primordial bloodline, the ancestor bloodline of their Dragon Race. There couldn’t be any dragon that had a more pure bloodline compared to Xiao Feng right now.

So if Xiao Feng’s blood didn’t work, then there wouldn’t be any dragon that had blood that would open whatever this podium was supposed to open.

But they didn’t want to use Xiao Feng’s blood for this.

Every drop of Xiao Feng’s blood was precious since it contained the bloodline of the ancestor, so every drop lost was a drop that was gone forever.

This would certainly have an effect on Xiao Feng in the future, so they had wanted to keep this from happening.

It seemed like they had no choice though.

None of their bloodlines were considered pure enough to open whatever this place was, so they had to use a drop of blood from Xiao Feng to open it.

Of course, Qing Ao didn’t take a drop of blood from Xiao Feng himself.

Instead, he made Qing Bao Lan let go of Xiao Feng and then put Xiao Feng down in front of the podium before walking away. As he walked to the side, appeasing Qing Bao Lan as he went, he turned to look at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan gave a nod before walking over to where Xiao Feng was.

Lin Fan asked Xiao Feng in a gentle voice, “Can I get a drop of your blood?”

Xiao Feng just gave a strong nod before reaching his hand out for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan picked up Xiao Feng like Qing Ao had done earlier with Qing Bao Lan. The way that the two of them looked, it was almost as if they were parent and child.

Though that wouldn’t be wrong since Lin Fan had raised Xiao Feng since he was a child, so it could be said that he was something like a parent.

Lin Fan took Xiao Feng’s hand and brought it over the podium before picking his index finger out. Then with a thought, a drop of blood came from Xiao Feng’s finger that fell onto the podium.

The moment that it fell onto the podium, the same thing happened where there was no reaction at all. Then all of a sudden, there was a burst of strong azure light that came from the podium.

This burst of azure light was much stronger than any of the light that the podium had given off before. Even if all of the past glows were combined, this current burst would be considered much stronger.

But this burst of azure light didn’t stay the same for long.

It didn’t disappear, but the light suddenly started changing colours.

It didn’t just remain azure, but rather it changed to the different colours of the rainbow, as if it was representing many different attributes.

Finally, after changing colours several times, the light stopped changing colours and changed back to the same azure glow as before.

This light also became concentrated on the top part of the podium where the instructions were. The instructions disappeared and soon there were glowing words that were written on the podium.

“The successor has come…The vault will now open.”
