311: Chapter 311 First Encounter with the High-Quality Dragon! Gu Han: My Legacy is Above Yours

"Does that mean I can become the third Dragon Phoenix?" Zi Yan's face lit up with anticipation.

If she became a Dragon Phoenix by fusing the Bloodlines of the Void Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, her Bloodline talent would surely be even more powerful than a Divine Grade Dou Di Bloodline.

"Yes, when the time comes, we'll all need you to look out for us," Gu Han chuckled.

"It's a wrap! When the time comes, this Dragon Phoenix will let you live off her," Zi Yan said, patting her chest.

Gu Han: ...

Give her an inch and she really takes a mile.

Even with the dragon phoenix origin fruit, your growth rate might not keep up with me and my cheats.

"For something like the dragon phoenix origin fruit, the higher the grade of the fallen Void Ancient Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Bloodlines, the greater the chance of it appearing. Clearly, the Void Ancient Dragon that fell here possessed a Royal Bloodline."

"After opening the entrance, this Void Ancient Dragon used its own Bloodline to set up a Void Barrier."

"Only those whose strength is greater than his, or whose Bloodline is recognized by him, can open it."

In short, this Bone Mountain Range had now become territory controlled by Qing Lin with the help of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, allowing them to easily find the Dou Sheng Ruins and the 'Robber's Tunnels' around the ruins' barrier.

However, the standard of these 'Robber's Tunnels' was very high, with only two ways to open them: one was to be strong enough to force them open, and the other was to have one's identity recognized by the 'tomb raider.'

If they wanted to enter silently, they would definitely have to use the second method; Zi Yan, the only daughter of the Old Dragon Emperor, was the key.

Without either the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire or Zi Yan, they would have to wait for the Dou Sheng Ruins to fully emerge before they could enter.

Of course, it would also work if Gu Han were strong enough, but at that level of power, the Dou Sheng Ruins would only be the icing on the cake.

"Let's go."

Gu Han waved his hand to manifest a space portal, letting Colorful Glass, Cai Die, and Qing Lin enter the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm before taking Zi Yan's hand.

"Big sister will take you in," Zi Yan said, lifting her chin and walking forward boastfully.

But in the next moment, an energy barrier blocked her outside.

"What's going on?" Zi Yan was stunned.

"Your identity is sufficient, but your strength isn't enough; this is a Dou Sheng Ruins, after all," Gu Han chuckled. He controlled the Yin Yang Twin Flames to envelop himself and Zi Yan, forming a special bridge, and then funneled Soul Power and Qi into it.

Zi Yan's aura suddenly began to skyrocket, reaching the level of a One-star Dou Zun in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Dragon Seal on her hand emitted a blinding light, transforming into a dragon-shaped energy that flew out and vanished into the Void Realm.

Before long, a space vortex struggled to appear, surrounded by terrifying power attempting to suppress it.

"Is the Dou Sheng Ruins trying to erase this entrance formed by the Dragon Seal? It can only provide an opportunity to enter ahead of time."

Gu Han was well-prepared; he pulled Zi Yan into his arms and transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the space vortex.

A few breaths later, the space vortex disappeared as if it had never existed.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, a space crack suddenly appeared atop the peak. A burly middle-aged man in armor stepped out, his eyes sweeping the surroundings with terrifying pressure.

"Nothing?"

"The Elder definitely couldn't have sensed it wrong; the Bloodline aura of the Old Dragon Emperor's descendant appeared here."

"Hmm?"

The burly middle-aged man suddenly looked toward a patch of the Void Realm.

A black and white flame flew out from the void, transforming into an energy phantom before him.

This was a young man with an ethereal temperament who smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Junior Gu Han greets Senior Hei Qing."

"Gu Han?" Hei Qing frowned slightly, feeling like he had heard the name somewhere. He quickly recalled: "The Enshrined Elder of the Starfall Pavilion, the Snow Sword Young Master who is said to pierce heavenly secrets and be all-knowing?"

The Void Ancient Dragon Clan's Dragon Island was located within the Void Realm, and they were currently embroiled in a civil war, so they usually didn't pay much attention to matters on the Fighting Qi Continent.

However, this didn't include East Dragon Island. Because they were constantly searching for traces of the Old Dragon Emperor and his Bloodline descendants, East Dragon Island placed great importance on intelligence gathering, which wasn't difficult given the strength of the Void Ancient Dragons.

Hei Qing had indeed heard of Gu Han, who had recently become famous throughout the Central Plains and stirred up trouble single-handedly.

Because of his title as Young Master Tianji, Hei Qing had even planned to find him and test him out when he had the time.

Since he was all-knowing, did he know the whereabouts of the Old Dragon Emperor?

What if?

"Those titles are just things my friends hyped up."

A hint of speechlessness flashed in Gu Han's eyes.

It was all because of Fairy Qing's big mouth, combined with Wind Venerable's endorsement and Yao Chen's silent approval, that things had turned out this way.

Having such a title had its pros and cons; the downside was that it was easy to be targeted by those plotting in the shadows.

The upside was that people easily came to him for help, giving him a status not inferior to—and even exceeding—that of an Alchemist.

After all, if one couldn't get help from one Alchemist, there was always another, as long as a high enough price was paid.

But this kind of intelligence work and deducing heavenly secrets was unique in the Fighting Qi Continent.

"I don't think so," Hei Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. "You knew in advance that I would come and could even create such a Soul energy Clone to wait for me. It's clear you have real ability."

"If Zi Yan uses her power within the range of the Central Plains, she will definitely be sensed by the Dou Sheng experts of East Dragon Island. It wasn't difficult for me to deduce that you would come," Gu Han said with a slight smile.

"Zi Yan?" A light erupted in Hei Qing's eyes. "Is she the Bloodline of our clan's Old Dragon Emperor?"

"Indeed," Gu Han nodded.

"Where is she?" Hei Qing asked excitedly.

This was the Royal Bloodline of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, and the purest at that—the daughter of the Old Dragon Emperor.

"Senior, I certainly won't tell you that information," Gu Han replied calmly. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to take Zi Yan away. You would have seen her by now."

"What do you mean?" Hei Qing's eyes grew oppressive, and the space beneath his feet began to crack.

"Rest assured, Senior, I mean no harm," Gu Han cupped his hands. "I haven't hidden my identity, and since you know about me, you should know of the existence of the Starfall Pavilion, Flower Sect, and Cloud Mist Sect."

"Even all those forces combined are no match for your Void Ancient Dragon Clan's East Dragon Island. I cannot afford to offend you."

"Zi Yan and I are close friends, so naturally I wouldn't harm her. I simply know that it isn't appropriate for her to return to East Dragon Island right now."

"Once she returns, the conflict between your Four Great Dragon Islands, which has finally slowed down, will restart. The delicate balance between you will be broken, and East Dragon Island will become the target of all."

"I cannot allow Zi Yan to fall into such a situation."

Hearing this, Hei Qing's eyes flickered. He knew in his heart that Gu Han was right.

The return of the Dragon Emperor's only Bloodline to East Dragon Island would surely touch a nerve with the other three islands.

Looking at it this way, Gu Han was indeed considering Zi Yan's well-being.

"East Dragon Island possesses the Legacy to awaken the Princess's Bloodline Power and allow her strength to grow rapidly," Hei Qing's tone softened slightly, but he still wanted to take Zi Yan away. "Staying with you will only delay her. As for reuniting the Dragon Islands, that is the responsibility the Princess must bear. We will follow her to the death; the Void Ancient Dragons are not afraid."

Gu Han didn't want to argue with Hei Qing about the Void Ancient Dragons' mettle, so he smiled and said, "Senior, you are mistaken. Only by following me can Zi Yan grow stronger faster."

"The Void Ancient Dragon Legacy I can lead her to is superior to what you have on East Dragon Island."
