Chapter 719: Chapter 329: The Fastest Legend of Clearing the Tower (Part 2)

This host is too strange!

The speed of power growth even makes him, the “Golden Finger Grandpa,” feel uneasy.

In less than half a year, he climbed all the way from being an ordinary bishop to a position equivalent to a cardinal!

This is a seat only a Near-God Powerhouse can occupy, just a step below the Pope!

Near-God Powerhouse!

A powerful existence comparable to the Law God!

Even at the peak of my cultivation back in the day, I was only thus.

Can I truly control a host like this?

Besides all that, the Blood Demon also feels lost about his future.

In his previous life, the host he possessed never reached such a level of cultivation.

So next… what should I do?

Possession?

Or… just watch and wait?

What the Blood Demon is unclear about is, while he’s questioning his life, the continent is roiling with undercurrents.

Almost all religious sects have quietly started to move at the same time.

…

Dragon Island, Ancestral Dragon Nest.

Old Red Dragon Felix took Lu Wenwu on a tour of the entire structure of the Dragon Nest.

Apart from the Dragon God Divine Statue buried deep within the Dragon Nest and the Dragon Soaring Bridge leading to the statue, other constructions here are extraordinarily simple.

Unlike humans who consider all aspects when designing buildings, the Dragon Race, with both wisdom and immense strength, designs architecture only to the extent that it’s usable.

On the bottom floor, besides the crucial hatching and seclusion areas, there’s a repository of vast resources from Dragon Island, various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Magic Materials, and shiny objects cherished by the Dragons.

The middle layer houses the Dragon King, elderly dragons, and elders.

Typically, the elder dragons who have lost their adventurous spirit, preferring retirement and care, are in charge of instructing the younger dragons.

These elder dragons also manage the island’s livestock, providing both the young dragons’ food and snacks for themselves.

The top layer is for the young dragons to frolic freely, so there’s no need for arranging dormitories for newcomers like Lu Wenwu returning to Dragon Island.

See a place you like? Just move in!

What?

What if there’s already a dragon there?

Simple, take it down, and it’s yours!

If a dragon is dissatisfied with the current “room” layout, it can opt to blaze new trails on its own.

Besides those overly energetic teenage dragons, few others expend this effort.

During the Ten Thousand Dragons Conference, older couples and indifferent adult dragons will settle in the spacious middle of the Ancestral Dragon Nest, finding a cozy cave to rest.

The more particular ones might scatter some gold coins on the ground as bedding, though risk losing them to other dragons.

As for the young ones who fancy each other, they will venture to every corner of Dragon Island, sowing the seeds of love to help expand the Dragon Race.

“Alright, Xiaowu, that’s the entirety of the Ancestral Dragon Nest. Of course, the range of Dragon Island is far greater than the Ancestral Dragon Nest. If you’re interested, you can explore it by yourself.”

In human form, Felix appeared as an elderly, kind-looking man.

Despite his aged appearance and white hair, he maintained a robust physique and sturdy stature, radiating a healthy glow.

Thanks to the Red Dragon’s talent ability.

As a race renowned as the Dragons of Life, almost every Red Dragon is long-lived.

Among the elders on Dragon Island who teach young dragons, Red Dragons are the most numerous.

Felix stroked his beard, with a chuckle pointing at the giant “pillar” at the pinnacle of the Ancestral Dragon Nest:

“There, known also as the Dragon Bone Celestial Tower, is said to be formed from the spine of the Dragon God, and it’s a true divine artifact, the best place for us dragons to train.”

“The Heaven-Reaching Tower has its own space, with ninety-nine levels, each offering different trials. Moreover, the trials aren’t perpetual; after reaching two hundred years of age, officially becoming a young dragon, entry is no longer possible.”

“Ordinarily, our requirement is to pass through the first thirty levels before reaching two hundred years old, when they formally become young dragons. It’s not a difficult task; as long as one isn’t engrossed in play all day, they can achieve this.”

“Failure to reach this result strips them of dragon race status, barring them from ever returning to Dragon Island or claiming the name of pureblood Dragon Race.”

“Isn’t this somewhat ruthless?” Lu Wenwu hesitated, “What if someone becomes a late bloomer or gains a sudden boost in power from a miraculous adventure, won’t this make us needless enemies?”

“That’s impossible.” Felix shook his head, “Even those hybrids with mixed bloodlines possessed of sufficient tenacity in body and mind can complete this trial; if they can’t, these indolent types don’t deserve the name pureblood.”

“Seems this requirement is indeed low.” Lu Wenwu shrugged.

“So, if possible, strive to go higher before turning two hundred. No dragon has yet reached the highest ninety-ninth level, let alone surpassed it.”

Felix said with a laugh.

“The Dragon Bone Celestial Tower has similarities with the Ladder of Truth; the higher you climb, the easier it will be for you to advance in Truth in the future, and the more likely you will transform into an Ancient Dragon.”

“Little Moon told me you already possess blood comparable to an Ancient Dragon, which will greatly aid your growth.”

“You, as the Heavenly Son, even if the born Magic Heart shatters, rebuilding it is a straightforward task for you, not difficult.”

“If you advance in Truth before age two hundred, you’ll have a great chance to reach the highest ninety-ninth level, and perhaps receive guidance from the Dragon God, becoming the first Ancient Dragon since the Dragon God!”

“Reaching ninety-nine levels grants a meeting with the Dragon God?” Lu Wenwu asked, intrigued.

He didn’t mention his prior communication with the Dragon God’s will.

Whether it’s the Dragon God’s admonitions or the Dragon God’s will actually speaking, within the Dragon Race, this is absolutely shocking.

Felix affirmed, “The Dragon God once made a divine proclamation before the Golden Calendar commenced; those passing ninety-nine levels may enter the Divine Country for guidance.”

“That really piqued my interest!” Lu Wenwu said enthusiastically, “Can I try now? Or is there any ceremony, or something to register?”

“No need, our Dragon Race doesn’t have such human complexities, go if you want.” Felix patted his shoulder, “Integrate with the Dragon Race first, show your power. Um… it’s best to revert to dragon form, otherwise, you’ll be troubled; those peers of yours are quite mischievous.”

“Dragon form… maybe later, my dragon form doesn’t fit well here.” Lu Wenwu pondered the size of his second form and decisively shook his head, “Also, my dragon form is different, easily misunderstood, wait until I’m integrated into the group.”

“So be it, your case is indeed unique.” Felix mused, lightly sighing, “In that case, you’re at a disadvantage in battles.”

“At a disadvantage? Not necessarily…”

Lu Wenwu glanced at the young dragons already looking over, eager to challenge, and stretched his neck and arms.

The muscles contracted and expanded, with the sound of sinewy cords snapping, making “pop” sounds reminiscent of thunder.

Felix’s eyes abruptly sharpened.

Such astonishing Blood Evil Qi, nearly solidified!

Could Xiaowu’s true form be the more ferocious Fighting Dragon Species than the Black Dragon?

“In human form… I’m strong too!”

Lu Wenwu grinned viciously, drawing his Bath Fire Demon Dragon Staff from his robes, letting it thunder back into its three-meter length.

Blazing flames flickered upon the staff, with faint crimson light erupting from the designs of Taotie and fangs.

“Come now… let me see the purity of you!”
