nAt this point, Illumination Dragon Elder Four could no longer persist.

nUsing an arm in exchange for the life of the young master of the Witch race and avoiding a war – that was the best solution.

n“Child, you’ll have to suffer,”

nIllumination Dragon Elder Four sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness and sighed helplessly.

nThe Blue Dragon elder said, “Long Zhu, sever your arm. Go back and recuperate well thereafter. If there’s nothing else, don’t come out for now.”

n“You want my arm?”

nSu Zimo smiled and said slowly, “No!”

n“Hmm?”

nThe expressions of the Blue Dragon elder and the others changed.

nThe current situation was already the best they could do for Long Zhu. It would be ungrateful of him if he was still unsatisfied!

nLong Zhong sneered, “This is not up to you. Don’t forget who you are!”

nThe Hornless Dragon elder shook his head gently and said in a gentle voice, “Child, don’t worry. Although losing an arm will affect your combat strength somewhat, you won’t encounter any life and death dangers in the Dragon Bone Valley.”

n“As long as you continue cultivating and advance to the Conjoint Body realm, you will naturally be able to regrow your arm.”

n“I understand that,”

nSu Zimo nodded and changed the topic. “However, it’s impossible if you want my arm.”

nThe Divine Phoenix Bone was in his right arm – how could he sever it and give it to the Witch race?!

n“Interesting,”

nElder Scorpion laughed. “In my opinion, that lad’s bloodline is impure and he can be considered as someone from a foreign race. He doesn’t care about the safety of the Dragon race at all.”

n“The reason why he did that was most likely because he wanted to sow grudges between our two races!”

nThose words were meant to kill.

nApart from Illumination Dragon Elder Four, the other elders of the Dragon race had odd expressions!

nEveryone had to be wary of anyone that wasn’t of the same race as them.

nEven if they did not believe it now, the seeds of doubt would be planted!

nFurthermore, Su Zimo’s background was unknown and was suspicious to begin with!

nThe methods of the Witch race were not limited to fighting.

nEven through words, they carried killing potential!

nLong Zhong said coldly, “I knew that something was off with you when you refused to hand over the secret skills previously! Now, you’re even trying to go against the orders of us elders!”

n“If you won’t sever your arm, I’ll do it personally!”

nLong Zhong strode forward and released the terrifying might of a Conjoint Body, grabbing towards Su Zimo’s right arm!

nBang!

nA figure darted in and punched Long Zhong’s palm.

nLong Zhong took two steps back.

nIllumination Dragon Elder Four was the one who interjected in time in front of Su Zimo.

n“Illumination Elder Four, what are you doing? How dare you protect this lad still?!” Long Zhong glared and hollered.

nThe Blue Dragon elder frowned slightly as well. “Illumination Elder Four, you’re too protective of him.”

nIllumination Dragon Elder Four knew very well that he could no longer deal with the current situation.

nAfter a long silence, he said, “I have to inform the Grand Elder of the Illumination Dragon lineage about this before I can make a decision.”

n“Is there a need to alarm the Grand Elder for such a small matter?”

nThe Winged Dragon elder shook his head in disappointment as well.

nThe Grand Elders of the five lineages were the most experienced existences of the Dragon race and had noble statuses – they would not appear easily!

n“Long Zhu, don’t make things difficult for others,”

nAt that moment, Long Cang stood out as well.

nSu Zimo smiled. “The Dragon race must not bow down! How can you forget what you just said in the blink of an eye?”

nLong Cang said in a deep voice, “This is not bowing down. This is merely a step back!”

n“Oh?”

nSu Zimo asked instead, “If it was you, would you agree to having your arm severed?”

n“Fufu.”

nLong Cang smiled. “Long Zhu, you’ve disappointed me. You have decent talent and immense potential, but you’re not qualified to compare to me!”

nPausing for a moment, he declared proudly, “I can tell you that I won’t sever my arm or even a single finger! Furthermore, there won’t be any dragon that’s qualified to have me sever my arm! That’s because I’m the young master of the Dragon race and will reign over the five lineages!”

n“I remember that you’re not one yet.”

nSu Zimo smiled gently.

n“Is there a difference?”

nLong Cang said indifferently, “I’m the only five-clawed divine dragon of the Dragon race, the number one of the Heavenly Dragon Ranking. Once the ceremony of the race is held, I will be conferred the title of young master. The difference is merely ceremonial.”

nThat was the truth.

nAlmost every dragon, including the elders, had already acknowledged Long Cang as the young master of the Dragon race.

nHowever, according to the rules, the conferment of the title would have to wait till the ceremony of the Dragon race took place where there would be a fight within the race to determine the young master.

nHowever, there was no one in this generation who could threaten Long Cang’s status.

nIn fact, no dragon would even bother to fight him at the Dragon race ceremony and cause trouble for themselves.

nTherefore, there was indeed merely a ceremonial difference before Long Cang was conferred the title of the young master.

nSu Zimo said, “In other words, if I’m the young master of the Dragon race, you guys won’t be qualified to have me sever my arm?”

nLong Cang roared in laughter. “Good, you want to challenge me! I admire your courage, but unfortunately, you’re not qualified!”

n“You can consider fighting for the position of the young master of the Dragon race after you cultivate to the Dharma Characteristic realm. You’re still far from that!”

nAccording to the rules of the Dragon race, fights could only be fought within the same cultivation realm.

nSu Zimo was at the Void Reversion realm while Long Cang was at the Dharma Characteristic realm.

n“Dharma Characteristic realm…”

nSu Zimo focused his gaze and said slowly, “It’s not completely impossible!”

nHe had already cultivated to the perfected Void Reversion realm and it was unlikely for him to advance to the Dharma Characteristic realm within a short period of time.

nHowever, there was a high chance of success in the Dragon Bone Valley with external help!

nA look of determination flashed through Su Zimo’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, “Elder Four, please take me to the Ancestral Dragon Divine Pillar. I want to be baptized by it!”

n“Ah!”

nA series of cries sounded from the dragons.

n“How is that possible?”

nIllumination Dragon Elder Four denied as well.

nThe Ancestral Dragon Divine Pillar was a mythical object that originated from the primordial era in the Dragon Bone Valley and contained a terrifyingly pure power!

nEvery dragon had a chance to receive the baptism of the Ancestral Dragon Divine Pillar and their physical and bloodline powers would increase tremendously, awakening their innate divine powers.

nHowever, there was a prerequisite – the Dragon race had to advance to the Dharma Characteristic realm first.

nIt did not mean that one could not accept it at the Void Reversion realm.

nIt was because the body of a Void Reversion could not withstand the baptism of the Ancestral Dragon Divine Pillar!

nThe baptism was extremely terrifying – even the physique of a Dragon would explode instantly!

nBack then, Long Cang only underwent the baptism after entering the Dharma Characteristic realm as well.

nMost importantly, there was no need for the Dragon race to take such a huge risk and undergo the Ancestral Dragon’s baptism in advance.

nHowever, the situation that Su Zimo was in right now did not give him much time.

nIf he wanted to advance to the Dharma Characteristic realm as soon as possible, he would have to take the risk!

nFurthermore, Su Zimo believed that although the other dragons could not do it, his body and bloodline that cultivated the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness could withstand the Ancestral Dragon Divine Pillar!

nHe had that thought long ago.

nHowever, at this point of the situation, he was even more convinced of that thought!

nThe reason why Su Zimo wanted to advance to the Dharma Characteristic realm was not only to challenge Long Cang and resolve the current crisis.

nMore importantly, he had a feeling that the Yang Spirit section of the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness was not the final section!

nDie Yue might have left something else behind.

nThe only way for him to find out was to advance to the Dharma Characteristic realm!
