Chapter 1249: Activating the Sacred Dragon Token!

“The origins of the Four Clans?”

Ye Yuan’s expression turned serious, never expecting such an answer.

After the Heavenly Dao became incomplete, the demon domain in the Divine Realm declined very rapidly.

Following the battle fifty thousand years ago, the Four Symbols Families suffered severe losses.

Although there were now strong figures like Long Min, overall they were still much weaker than the human race.

In this process, many secrets were buried in history.

Ye Yuan truly did not know what the origins of the Four Symbols Families were.

Since the Four Symbols Families each had their own ancestors, where did those ancestors come from?

The old ancestor slowly said, “Azure Dragon of the East, White Tiger of the West, Vermilion Bird of the South, Black Tortoise of the North—the ancestors of the Four Symbols Families were once the guardian divine beasts of the Divine Realm. The four ancestors possessed heaven-defying strength, jointly suppressing the four directions, and none dared to disobey! Even experts of the Guixu Divine Realm, under the Four Symbols Formation they formed, would be reduced to ashes in an instant!”

Ye Yuan’s mind trembled as he listened.

What kind of existence the Guixu Divine Realm was, Ye Yuan could not even imagine.

Could it be that the four ancestors were existences even stronger than the Guixu Divine Realm?

“What kind of beings were the four ancestors?” Ye Yuan could not help asking.

But the old ancestor shook his head and said, “I don’t know either! I only know they were very, very strong! Their strength is simply beyond the comprehension of the likes of us. How strong exactly, only they themselves know.”

Ye Yuan drew a cold breath, instantly feeling somewhat disoriented.

The four ancestors must have been existences even more ancient than a million years.

What was the even more ancient Divine Realm like?

And why had the present Divine Realm declined to such a state?

Ye Yuan found that the more he knew, the more puzzled he became.

This Divine Realm was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.

“All the techniques and martial skills of the Four Symbols Families were passed down from the four ancestors, complementing each other and aligning with the Heavenly Dao. Once used simultaneously, they would produce resonance of the Dao, greatly increasing their power,” the old ancestor said.

“So that’s it!” Ye Yuan suddenly understood.

The strength of the four clan heads was merely at the bottom among the ten great divine kings.

But their combined strike was slightly superior to that of the Dark Divine King, Sikong Shang.

The amplification was by no means trivial.

“Heh, those four are too weak to fully unleash the power of the combined attack. If it were a combined strike by experts of the Dongxuan Divine Realm, they could even fight across a major realm!” the old ancestor said.

Ye Yuan’s pupils contracted, startled by the old ancestor’s words.

A divine path expert fighting across a major realm was simply unimaginable.

Even a peak Dongxuan Divine Realm expert could not be a match for a Kuitian Divine Realm expert.

Such amplification was utterly inconceivable.

Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked, “The Seven Mansions Grand Arrays of the Four Symbols Families can each summon their guardian spirits. I wonder if they can resonate when used together?”

Back then, Ji Canglan had tried to seize the White Tiger spirit but was thwarted by Ye Yuan.

His goal at the time was only the White Tiger spirit, not to destroy the Tiger Clan.

It seemed the demon race wanted to use the Four Symbols spirits for something.

Ye Yuan recalled this matter and thus asked.

The old ancestor nodded and said, “Those four Seven Mansions Grand Arrays were originally one, collectively called the Twenty-Eight Mansions Guardian Spirit Grand Array, jointly set up by the four holy ancestors, who also nurtured a trace of ancestral spirit within. Later, as the clans grew larger, powerful experts split the array into four, becoming the protective arrays of each clan. But now, with the Heavenly Dao incomplete, the power of the ancestral spirits is less than one ten-thousandth, far weaker than before. However, if the four spirits strike together, their power is absolutely not to be underestimated.”

Ye Yuan’s gaze darkened; he always felt that Kano’s goal was not merely to unify the Divine Realm.

Moreover, Kano had once mentioned something called the “Xianlin Domain,” which seemed to refer to the Divine Realm.

Ye Yuan had always found this strange, but such matters probably even Fang Tian could not answer.

But these were not important; the most important thing now was to kill Kano!

As long as he could break through to the divine realm, with the Dragon God’s Voice, he would surely be able to kill Kano.

Even if Kano’s strength fully recovered, as long as the Heavenly Dao suppression existed, the outcome would be the same.

“You’re leaving?” the old ancestor asked.

Snapping out of his reverie, Ye Yuan nodded and said, “I want to enter the Divine Forbidden Territory to seek the opportunity to become a god!”

The old ancestor’s gaze sharpened, and he said in surprise, “The Divine Forbidden Territory is a place even divine path experts dare not set foot in!”

Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Yet it is also the only place where one might become a god! Old ancestor, perhaps… you will have a day when you see the light again!”

The old ancestor trembled all over, his eyes filled with shock.

Connecting this with Ye Yuan’s possession of the atavistic dragon soul, he quickly understood what Ye Yuan intended to do.

In the current era of the incomplete Heavenly Dao, such a thought… was no different from a fool’s dream!

But why was he so excited?

“Alas, Jun’er is truly blessed to have a son like you! Yun’er, you possess the atavistic dragon soul; there is nothing more I can teach you. However, there is one thing that might help you somewhat,” the old ancestor said.

Ye Yuan’s eyes lit up as he waited for the old ancestor to continue.

The old ancestor said softly, “The Sacred Dragon Token—you probably cannot control it yet, can you?”

Ye Yuan asked in surprise, “How do you know?”

The old ancestor laughed and said, “With the Heavenly Dao incomplete and the divine path in decline, naturally no one outside can control the Sacred Dragon Token! The method to control the Sacred Dragon Token is known only to divine path experts of the dragon race!”

“This… I tried to resonate with the Sacred Dragon Token using divine-level dragon waves, and also tried to activate it with essence blood, but all failed without exception,” Ye Yuan said helplessly.

The Sacred Dragon Token was a heavenly divine artifact, its power certainly surpassing that of the Zhuxie Sword.

Over the years, Ye Yuan had thought of every possible method, but never succeeded.

Helpless, Ye Yuan had to give up.

Unexpectedly, today brought an unexpected joy—the old ancestor actually knew the method to activate the Sacred Dragon Token.

“Heh, the Sacred Dragon Token is a supreme treasure of our dragon race, personally forged by the holy ancestor and used as the clan leader’s token. If anyone who obtained it could activate it, wouldn’t our clan be vulnerable to control at any time?” the old ancestor said.

“That makes sense,” Ye Yuan nodded.

“The Sacred Dragon Token was forged by the holy ancestor with his essence blood, and he used his great divine power to integrate the method of activating it into the inherited memories. Only when a dragon clan expert breaks through to the divine realm can they learn how to use the Sacred Dragon Token. Of course, that is only knowing. Only by gaining the recognition of the Sacred Dragon Token and becoming the master of the dragon clan can one drive it. Otherwise, even if an expert of the Guixu Divine Realm obtained it, they could not unleash its true power!” the old ancestor said.

“So that’s it! Then you are the only one in this world who knows the method to activate the Sacred Dragon Token?” Ye Yuan asked in surprise.

No wonder he had exhausted all his skills and still could not activate the Sacred Dragon Token.

If he had not accidentally entered the Land of Exile, he would probably have had to wait until he broke through to the divine realm to activate it.
