Chapter 249: The Dragon King's Treasure and the Heart of the Sword Immortal Mountain

"Vibrant!"

As the ancient and majestic syllables resonated, the seemingly lifeless dragon egg on the jade table began to tremble violently.

Its weak vitality caused only slight movements, but they could clearly sense the incredibly excited intention within.

"It's alive!"

Su Zi'an, Erniu, and the others all showed looks of astonishment.

They understood that once this dragon egg hatched, it would possess unimaginable and terrifying value.

Unlike the others, at this moment, Su Moyan's gaze was entirely focused on Su Changqing, his expression filled with shock.

"Dragon Tongue Incantation!"

As a bearer of the Dragon Clan's legacy, he was well aware of the terrifying origins of the secret art Su Changqing was currently employing.

"What is that thing?" Su Zi'an asked in surprise.

It was rare for him to see such an expression on Su Moyan's face.

Erniu and Ye Xiaoyi, standing nearby, also turned their gazes towards him.

"The Dragon Clan has strict internal rules, and their bloodline hierarchy is extremely strict."

Su Moyan looked at Su Changqing with a serious expression and said, "Although they share a common Dragon language..."

"...the royal bloodline within them passes down a unique Dragon Tongue Incantation of their own!"

"That incantation can command all the demons in the world. Even an ordinary dragon would have to bow in submission!"

"The incantation Changqing is reciting is precisely a Dragon Tongue Incantation of a Dragon King level!"

Upon hearing this, Su Zi'an and the others couldn't help but gasp in shock, their faces revealing their astonishment as they looked at Su Changqing.

A Dragon King-level incantation could command all the demons in the world! This method was even more terrifying than the Great Emperor's divine abilities.

Could it be that Changqing had also obtained the Dragon Clan's legacy?

After a brief moment, Su Changqing seemed a bit tired as he stopped reciting the incantation.

The dragon egg on the jade table, though still unhatched, now emanated a much stronger aura.

"Why did the dragon egg seem to become stronger after Changqing recited the Dragon Tongue Incantation just once?" Erniu asked, puzzled.

"That incantation is passed down through the Dragon King's bloodline."

Recalling the records in the legacy, Su Moyan explained, "This Dragon Tongue Incantation creates an intense sense of oppression for other demon races."

"But for an unhatched dragon egg, it's equivalent to a blessing from a Dragon King."

"That unique incantation can cause changes in the bloodline within the dragon egg, and it might even lead to a leap in its class!"

As he spoke, Su Moyan looked at Su Changqing with a hint of seriousness, "Changqing, if you have time in the future, recite the Dragon Tongue Incantation for it more often."

"Perhaps this little guy will have a chance to advance to the Dragon King bloodline before hatching!"

Upon hearing this, Su Zi'an, Erniu, and the others couldn't help but look at Su Changqing with envy.

A partner of the Dragon King level! This was even more enviable than obtaining an Imperial Armament.

"So, the Dragon Tongue Incantation is for this purpose."

Hearing Su Moyan's explanation, Su Changqing also revealed a look of realization.

He now understood why he was able to control the fierce beasts in the Celestial Demon Pool.

Turns out, the Dragon Tongue Incantation had such an impressive background.

"Changqing, did you also obtain the Dragon Clan's legacy?"

Su Moyan couldn't help but ask at this point.

"It's not exactly a legacy."

As everyone present was close to him, Su Changqing didn't hide the truth, "When the Celestial Demon Pool opened, I discovered a massive dragon skull deep in the Xiong Shou Shan Mai."

"On its forehead, there was an inscription of the Dragon Tongue Incantation and a token with an unknown purpose."

As he spoke, Su Changqing took out the token that had been dormant in his dantian.

The token immediately caught the attention of everyone present.

It was about the size of a palm, neither gold nor wood, yet resembling both.

Numerous ancient patterns were engraved on its surface, resembling soaring dragons winding around.

The group carefully examined it but couldn't find anything special about the token.

At that moment, Su Moyan seemed to remember something. His eyes flickered slightly, and he lightly cut his finger.

A drop of blood with a strange dragon aura fell and spontaneously merged into the token.

Sizzle!

Suddenly, the dormant token emitted a faint glow, and a very blurry projection appeared in the void.

The projection showed a grand scene, as if it were an ancient battlefield.

In the center of that battlefield stood a massive palace spanning the heavens and earth, with the characters 'Dragon King' engraved upon it.

"This is the token to open the Dragon King's palace!"

Su Moyan's eyes lit up, "Changqing, you've found a treasure!"

The Dragon Clan was known for their wealth.

Most dragons had a hidden treasure trove known only to themselves.

According to the legacy's memories, when the Dragon Clan was still in existence, the treasure trove of every dragon after its death would drive countless people mad.

And that was just the treasure trove of an ordinary dragon.

But the token in Su Changqing's hand could open the treasure palace of a Dragon King!

This value was enough to make even a Great Emperor's heart flutter!

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He never imagined that the token he had casually obtained would be so precious.

"Where is this place? Why can't I see it clearly?"

Erniu anxiously scratched his head and stared at the projected map with wide eyes.

However, the vision was too blurry, and he could only make out a vague scene, unable to pinpoint the location.

"This token should only be fully activated by the bloodline of the Long Zu," he said.

Su Moyan shook his head, "Although I have the Long Zu legacy, my bloodline has not completely transformed yet."

"So, I can only activate a portion of the treasure map."

"However..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the dragon egg on the table and smiled, "This little guy's blood is extremely pure. Once it hatches, it will surely be able to fully activate the token!"

This news shocked everyone, and they looked at the dragon egg with delighted expressions.

Even before its birth, this little guy already possessed an incredibly terrifying value.

If one were to consider its rarity alone...

Su Moyan's gift was no less impressive than Su Zi'an's.

"This place seems like a battlefield. Does the Cangyan Continent have such a place?" Ye Xiaoyi asked curiously.

"Haha, of course not on the continent," Su Moyan laughed and pointed to the sky, "But the Emperor's Road is about to open, and the world beyond the Domain is far larger than the Cangyan Continent."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Long Wang's treasure trove is likely in an ancient battlefield beyond the Domain."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

The Emperor's Road, according to historical records, seemed to be a forbidden path that traversed the Domain.

There were countless opportunities and Creation Forces there, but the danger was probably even greater than in the continent's taboo zones.

"Changqing, make sure no one else sees this," Su Moyan said solemnly to Su Changqing.

"Whether it's the dragon egg or the Long Wang's treasure trove..."

"Once the news leaks out, even the powerful beings beyond the Domain might not be able to resist taking action."

"Without absolute certainty, don't even think about searching for the Long Wang's treasure trove."

Su Changqing nodded gravely and waved his hand, placing the dragon egg into his internal world.

In an instant, the Life Force swirling within his internal world continuously merged with the dragon egg.

The dragon egg, which had a faint vitality, gradually grew stronger under the nourishment of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Erniu and Su Zi'an, who had witnessed Changqing putting away the dragon egg, showed no signs of surprise.

If this dragon egg were in the hands of others, they would never let such an opportunity slip by.

But since it was Su Changqing, they felt nothing but joy and blessings in their hearts.

After all, the few people on the peak of the Sword Immortal Mountain were all closely related by blood.

"Thank you, Eldest Brother and Second Brother, for your kindness. Changqing will remember this!"

After putting away the dragon egg, Su Changqing swept his sleeves and bowed to the two of them.

The gifts from the two brothers were so grand that Su Changqing didn't even know how to repay them.

All he could do was keep this favor deep in his heart.

"There's no need for such formality between brothers," Su Moyan smiled and waved his hand, then said thoughtfully, "Now that you've achieved the position of Sword Immortal, the news of the Imperial Mausoleum will soon spread."

"As your brother, there's not much I can do to help, but this technique should buy you some time."

As he spoke, Su Moyan flipped his palm, and a jade book appeared in his palm, engraved with four Dao patterns, 'Tian Ganɡ Bian'.

"This technique originates from the Dao Jiao Xuan Qing ZoNG, allowing one to transform into the appearance of countless creatures, making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake."

"There are many transformation techniques in the world, but this one is quite extraordinary."

"Even a Near-Imperial at the High Sovereign Apex might not be able to see through it unless they are extremely familiar with you or have cultivated this technique themselves."

Su Moyan looked at Su Changqing and smiled, "With the Zhe Tian Di Zhen to obscure calculations and auras, and this technique to conceal your appearance, no one will be able to find you even if they search for you in the Imperial Mausoleum."

"Although the Imperial Mausoleum is filled with crises, if you don't want to reveal yourself, no one will be able to locate you."

At Sword Immortal Mountain, the progress of Sword Dao cultivation was significantly faster than anywhere else."

"But what reason do we have to stay here? This Sword Immortal Mountain belongs to Su Jian Shen."

The Sword Cultivators within the mountain were in an uproar, each with furrowed brows and long faces.

Previously, Sword Immortal Mountain was unclaimed, and cultivators came and went as they pleased.

But now, with the emergence of the Sword God, the mountain had an owner, and their continued presence without permission would be unacceptable.

Even though this place was a sacred site for Sword Dao cultivation, and their practice here could rapidly enhance their skills, they needed a valid reason to stay.

These cultivators were not few in number.

Among them were Godly Beings, Divine Seers, Divine Laws, Kings, and Saints, all from various realms.

They were an exceptionally powerful group, even surpassing ordinary top-tier sacred sites.

However, despite their strength, none dared to forcefully occupy the mountain.

This was Sword Immortal Mountain, and the power of the Sword God was nearly invincible here!

Many Sword Cultivators felt apprehensive, privately discussing and negotiating for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a good solution.

Suddenly, one after another, powerful Sword Cultivators rushed towards Sword Immortal Mountain.

Most of these cultivators were active on the back mountain's Sword Immortal Road, using it as a trial to hone their Sword Dao.

They had stayed on Sword Immortal Mountain for a long time, some for decades and others for centuries.

They had long considered this place their 'home.'

Now that the 'home' suddenly had an owner, they were both taken aback and somewhat apprehensive.

If possible, no one wanted to leave this place.

After much deliberation, they finally found a reasonable solution.

At the peak of Sword Immortal Mountain.

As Su Changqing and the others chatted leisurely, a group of powerful Sword Cultivators arrived one after another.

"I am Li Jin, paying my respects to Su Jian Shen," said an elderly man with white hair and a body enveloped in the aura of a Great Sage, as he slowly ascended the peak and bowed respectfully to Su Changqing.

"Senior, there's no need for such formality. Please, speak your mind," Su Changqing waved his wide sleeves, and endless Sword Intent flowed like a stream, gently lifting the old man.

Such a display left Li Jin and the other Sword Cultivators present in awe.

Meanwhile, Su Moyan and the others by his side looked at this group of powerful Sword Cultivators with surprise.

They hadn't understood the purpose of these people's visit.

"Since that's the case, I'll be straightforward," Li Jin sighed and said, "Su Jian Shen, I wonder how you plan to manage Sword Immortal Mountain?"

This question left Su Changqing momentarily stunned.

He had genuinely not considered this issue.

"Su Jian Shen, we are all old residents of Sword Immortal Mountain," Li Jin gestured to the more than a dozen powerful Sword Cultivators behind him and sighed, "To delve deeper into the Sword Dao, we have been here for many years, considering this mountain our own."

"But now that the true owner of the 'home' has returned, we are filled with apprehension."

"I have come here with a question. Can we continue to stay here?"

None of the Sword Cultivators present spoke, but their bright eyes all held a glimmer of hope.

"This..."

Su Changqing was momentarily speechless, lost in thought.

"Changqing," Erniu quietly approached and whispered, "The reason Sword Immortal Mountain never fell into chaos was because they secretly maintained a basic order."

"These people are mostly devoted to the Dao. If possible, consider accepting them."

Su Changqing's heart stirred, and he glanced at the more than ten Sword Cultivators before him.

"Su Jian Shen, there's something I must say," Li Jin said, his words flowing without hesitation.

"Of course," Su Changqing nodded.

At this moment, all the Sword Cultivators on Sword Immortal Mountain, regardless of their activities, quietly gathered at the foot of the mountain.

They looked up at the peak, their eyes filled with tension and apprehension as they observed the conversation between the two parties.

Whether they could continue cultivating on Sword Immortal Mountain depended on this moment.

"Su Jian Shen, you are young and talented, standing at the pinnacle of the Sword Dao," Li Jin's sincere voice rang out, "Though we may be a few years older, we are all in awe of your achievements."

"The Sword Emperor Legacy is something we've never heard of before."

"But what we've witnessed today is awe-inspiring, and it has kindled our aspirations."

"A legacy like this cannot be sustained by just one or two people."

"We dare to make a bold request."

Li Jin's tone became solemn, and despite his age, he knelt on one knee, holding a sword in both hands and lowering his head. He spoke loudly, "We beseech Su Jian Shen to establish a Dao Lineage and become the guiding light for the Sword Dao of the world!"

Following Li Jin's lead, over ten powerful Sword Cultivators bowed in the grandest Sword Cultivator's salute.

They knelt on one knee, holding a sword in both hands and lowering their heads, and in unison, they proclaimed, "We beseech Su Jian Shen to establish a Dao Lineage and become the guiding light for the Sword Dao of the world!"

The resounding voices echoed across the peak and reached the foot of the mountain, where the anxious Sword Cultivators waited.

Hearing these words, their eyes lit up, and without hesitation, the crowd of people knelt as one.

They knelt on one knee, holding a sword in both hands and lowering their heads, their united voices shook the heavens and stirred the winds for thousands of miles.

"We beseech Su Jian Shen to establish a Dao Lineage and become the guiding light for the Sword Dao of the world!"
