Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1808: Who Is Chu Xingran

There were eighteen thousand Hongmeng worlds out there and all of them produced purple crystals in high quantities. The crystals were premium cultivation resources in the third realm, but just colorful glass in the fourth realm. Completely useless, no one wanted anything to do with them.

Now that Lu Yun had turned Dragon Butterfly and Long Batian into the ancestral veins of the Hongmeng, they would further affect the other Hongmeng worlds if they transformed into enigma stone veins.

They were situated in the Central Hongmeng—a locale derived from the core essence shard of the original Hongmeng. While the rest of the Hongmeng remained split apart, the pieces had reformed connections to the Central Hongmeng thanks to direction from the Hongmeng Tower. Thus, any changes that occurred to the great dragons of the Central Hongmeng would affect all of the other great dragons in the third realm.

No longer the ancestral dragon vein of only the Central Hongmeng, Dragon Butterfly and Long Batian were now the ancestral dragon vein of all eighteen thousand Hongmeng worlds.

……

Up on the ninth level of Dragonhollow Mountain, Lu Yun looked merrily at the azure dragon ancestral god in front of him. “Who is the Azure Dragon King?”

“Don’t you already know?” the ancestral god rolled his eyes at the young man.

The Dragonhollow dragon derived from the azure dragon ancestral god was the true ancestral dragon of the Hongmeng. Not only did he control creation, but he also ruled over the hundreds of millions of dragons in the Central Hongmeng.

But now, even he was restricted by Dragon Butterfly and Long Batian! He strongly suspected that Lu Yun had facilitated this because he hadn’t informed the young man of the Azure Dragon King’s identity back in the day.

“You should go, you don’t belong here,” Lu Yun suddenly said with a meaningful lilt. “I’d always thought you were the first dragon god to be born in this Land of Reincarnation, that you were the ancestor of all dragons. It wasn’t until I met Leize that I learned that no matter where, there is only one azure dragon ancestral god.”

His conversation partner suddenly had nothing to say.

“You never lost yourself in the reincarnation cycles—you willingly became part of this land. You let Chu Xingran’s replica, the Poison King, control you and offered yourself up as one of the sacrifices for his curses,” Lu Yun murmured.

The azure dragon ancestral god inclined his head. Leize shared a similar characteristic to him in that no matter whether they were in the Land of Reincarnation or the outside realm, in any level of world there was, they were the first specimens of their kind. As long as there were dragons, the first dragon god to appear would be the azure dragon ancestral god and the first dragon to appear would be Leize.

Leize was present in the chaos, worlds, and Hongmeng. He came from the chief worlds and all Leize in the Land of Reincarnation was the same one.

As was the azure dragon ancestral god.

The one in front of Lu Yun was the exact ancestral god in the chief worlds. The Azure Dragon King had taken Chu Xingran to be his foster son and given him the position of crown prince not because he’d saved Ao Qin, but because there was the power of the azure dragon ancestral god on him.

When Chu Xingran set up his curses using the azure dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, and black tortoise ancestral gods as his sacrifice, there very likely involved a transaction between him and the azure dragon ancestral god. After all, he’d cursed their lineages and almost wiped out their bloodlines from the Land of Reincarnation!

Chu Xingran had always been a very mysterious person. The first time that Lu Yun met Moran Dongning, he’d sensed a trace of respect for him in her emotions. It was one thing if she was only the little princess of the Moran Clan. After all, Chu Xingran was an extremely handsome man in the outside realm. Perhaps she was just bowled over at actually meeting him.

But after her identity as the fourth spacetime traveler was revealed, that made things complicated. A spacetime traveler respecting Chu Xingran? And according to Lu Yun’s calculations, the four ancestral gods willingly being his sacrifices?

At least, that was how everything had taken place in this reincarnation cycle.

“I know what you want to ask,” the azure dragon ancestral god chuckled ruefully when he read Lu Yun’s expression. The young man had worn the same one when he demanded to know who the Azure Dragon King was. “Why don’t you ask him yourself? I’m sure he’ll tell you.”

“It would seem like I don’t trust him if I asked him. And if it turns out that he’s not actually willing to tell me, that will start a rift between us. He’s already taken people to the ruins of the Firmament Prison to search out its core essence for me. Chu Xingran is undertaking that grave risk so that hell dao can be made whole,” Lu Yun responded matter-of-factly.

“So you came to ask me instead?” the azure dragon ancestral god set his jaw. “Aren’t you not trusting him if you ask me?”

“He doesn’t know that I’ve asked you.” Lu Yun spread out his hands.

The ancestral god glared at the young man for the longest time without knowing what to say.

“Actually, it’s not that important who he is. It would be nice to find out, but it doesn’t change much if I don’t,” Lu Yun continued. “Yet there’s real danger to the four of you if you continue to stay here. The corpse demon that’s turned into a corpse god and the god of Mount Tai have an eye on you at all times. They might devour you at any second.

“It doesn’t matter if the four of you die, but if those two monsters eat you and your core essence, they’ll control the four supreme orders of creation, truth, eternity, and origin. That’ll spell trouble for me too!” the young man harrumphed.

He hadn’t forgotten about the two formidable threats lurking in the land. There was also another Jiang Chen staring covetously at them all. Things would be over for Lu Yun if they obtained the strength of the four ancestral gods.

The four ancestral gods were incredibly weak. If he’d read the situation correctly, they all bore inordinately severe wounds on them. They hadn’t been injured in the Land of Reincarnation—they’d arrived with their injuries.

Had they wanted to borrow the endless loops to rest and recover?

“We’ll die all the same if we leave,” the azure dragon ancestral god murmured. “Many of the supremes in the land are also here for us. They want to kill us and claim our core essence. They’re restricted to the limits of their projections, but it will be their primary bodies the second we leave, or even stronger.

“Don’t worry, the god of Mount Tai and corpse god won’t do anything to us. They want hell dao, not our core essence.” The ancestral god paused before continuing, “A terrifying existence once personally entered the Land of Reincarnation in search of us. That was when Chu Xingran turned us into sacrifices for his curses so we could evade their search.

“That person hasn’t left, they’ve sunk into a deep slumber,” the ancestral god concluded weakly as he looked at the Treasurehunter Rat that’d begun to spin in circles and squeak loudly from Lu Yun’s feet.
