The old man guarding the Panlong Immortal Steps mistook Ye Yun for an immortal and revealed that the Dragon Dao is almost extinct, with him being the last gatekeeper. He explained that his clan members ascended to immortality over millions of years, and the last batch left 30 million years ago. Dragon Sky also disappeared after failing to ascend. Ye Yun attempted to probe the old man's mind but was blocked by a formation. The old man then mentioned that many God Emperor powerhouses were invited to ascend the Panlong Immortal Steps and eagerly offered information about a powerful treasure, Mount Xumi, which flew away to the Divine Land.

“Went to the Divine Land?”

Ye Yun was quite surprised after hearing the words of the old man in a linen robe.

In the Divine Land, he hadn’t heard any news about Mount Xumi Demon.

“Yes, senior, my Dragon Dao has sent strong practitioners to the Divine Land many times, but they have found nothing, Mount Xumi Demon has vanished into thin air, unable to be found…”

The old man in linen robes chuckled bitterly.

“Hmm.”

Ye Yun nodded silently.

The strength of Dragon Dao is undeniably strong, capable of breaking through the barriers between realms, yet it found nothing upon entering the Divine Land.

“Honestly, your information is a bit useless…”

Ye Yun shook his head and smiled.

The old man in linen robes gave an awkward smile: “Senior, as an Immortal, perhaps when you get to the Divine Land you might find this treasure…”

“Alright, I’ll let this pass, but I still have a few questions I need to ask you, and you’d better answer them truthfully…”

Ye Yun thought for a moment and said.

“Senior, please rest assured, I will certainly speak without reservation and express myself fully.”

The old man in linen robes said solemnly.

Ye Yun looked at the Formless Tree, speaking with profound meaning: “This Formless Tree must not be the same one from before, right?”

“I didn’t expect that, senior, you would even know this!”

The old man was shocked, admiring this white-robed immortal senior even more.

He hurriedly explained: “Senior, the previous Formless Tree was chopped down by one of my Dragon Clan members. This new Formless Tree was cultivated by me, with painstaking efforts…”

Ye Yun smiled playfully: “Was it chopped down by a fellow named Ancestor Dragon?”

“Senior, you even know this!”

The old man widened his eyes, momentarily at a loss.

This white-robed immortal senior seemed extremely knowledgeable about matters of the Lower Realm.

“Don’t be surprised, it’s not my first time in the Ancient Realm, I’ve even been to the Divine Land before…”

Ye Yun said confidently.

“I see, understood then!”

The old man chuckled awkwardly.

Ye Yun blinked and said lightly: “The young fellow Ancestor Dragon briefly crossed paths with me in the Divine Land, then could not be found anymore, do you know his whereabouts?”

“Senior, I honestly don’t know, that fellow Ancestor Dragon was reckless and daring, after chopping down my Dragon Dao’s Formless Tree, he fled to the Divine Land and vanished…”

The old man chuckled bitterly.

“That’s strange, logically, Dragon Dao is so powerful, how could Ancestor Dragon manage to chop down the Formless Tree?”

Ye Yun asked curiously.

Having walked from the Ancient Realm, Ye Yun truly realized Dragon Dao’s strength, lauded by the Three Teachings Six Paths Nine Gates and various strong figures.

In his mind, Ancestor Dragon was at most at the God Emperor Realm Layer Ten Peak, likely not yet at the God-Emperor Realm, how then could he cut down the Formless Tree under Dragon Dao’s watch?

It defied logic.

Hearing Ye Yun’s inquiry, the old man showed a puzzled expression and chuckled bitterly: “Senior, although Ancestor Dragon was alone, he was indeed a strong figure at the tenth layer of the God-Emperor Realm, moreover his unique bloodline slightly suppressed my Nine-tailed Divine Dragon Clan, if he employed sneak attacks, we truly had no way to deal with him…”

“Tenth layer of the God-Emperor Realm?”

Ye Yun doubted he heard correctly, did Ancestor Dragon possess such a high cultivation base?

“Yes, senior.”

The old man replied honestly.

“Why then, is the Ancestor Dragon I saw in the Divine Land just at the God Emperor Realm?”

Ye Yun asked.

“Senior, the one in the Divine Land was Ancestor Dragon’s clone, in fact, his true form was imprisoned by our Dragon Dao for quite a long time…”

The old man said shockingly.

“So it was a clone, no wonder the strength was so weak.”

Ye Yun’s eyes deepened, nodding with furrowed brows.

Ancestor Dragon was indeed strong.

Operating in Dragon Hidden Continent was merely his clone.

“As Dragon Clan members, why would you imprison Ancestor Dragon?”

Ye Yun asked.

When saying this, his tone was very serious.

Ye Yun increasingly disliked the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon Clan.

“Senior, tens of millions of years ago, Dragon Dao invited Ancestor Dragon to the Ancient Realm, the then Nine-tailed Dragon Emperor wanted Ancestor Dragon to join Dragon Dao, but Ancestor Dragon refused on the spot, enraging the Dragon Emperor, who then allied with strong practitioners of Dragon Dao to suppress Ancestor Dragon and imprison him. Ancestor Dragon, before coming to the Ancient Realm, left a clone in Dragon Hidden Continent…”

The old man explained.

“I see…”

Ye Yun’s face turned somewhat indifferent, continuing to ask: “Since he was imprisoned, how did Ancestor Dragon manage to escape?”

“Senior, after our Dragon Dao first failed in crafting Mount Xumi Demon, we were unwilling, so we extracted Ancestor Dragon Essence Blood to craft Mount Xumi Demon a second time, unexpectedly the second attempt failed too, absorbing Ancestor Dragon Essence Blood made Mount Xumi Demon more powerful, killing more clan members, breaking through the barriers between realms and fleeing directly to the Divine Land…”

The old man spread his hands and chuckled bitterly again.

“So it was crafted twice.”

Ye Yun said thoughtfully.

“Yes, senior.”

The old man replied.

Ye Yun nodded, thinking Dragon Dao was indeed persistent, failing the first attempt and bringing Mount Xumi Demon back for a second crafting.

Unexpectedly, after adding Ancestor Dragon Blood, things went contrary to their wishes, causing further clan deaths and Mount Xumi Demon vanished completely.

Perhaps the old man wished desperately to enter Immortal Realm, not wanting to just be a lonely gatekeeper in the Ancient Realm, thus continued to explain: “During his imprisonment, Ancestor Dragon inadvertently created a supreme divine skill, burning essence blood to acquire multiple or even dozens of times more fearsome power, thus he broke free, injured and killed many clan members, reaching Panlong Immortal Steps, chopping down the Formless Tree and fleeing to the Divine Land…”

“Isn’t that his Self-contradictory Dragon Technique?”

Ye Yun frowned, inwardly thinking.

Not expecting it, the Self-contradictory Dragon Technique was actually created by Ancestor Dragon while being imprisoned in Dragon Dao of the Ancient Realm.

“Senior, you even know the name of this Cultivation Technique?”

The old man asked surprised.

“Hmm, I know a little.”

Ye Yun nodded seriously with a stern face.

The cultivation technique created by Ancestor Dragon, involving burning essence blood, was incomplete, later passed down to one of the Ten Super Divine Dragons, Dreamy Bewilded Dragon, who named it Reversible Dragon Decision.

The Reverse Dragon Technique of Dragon God Sect likely originated from the Self-contradictory Dragon Technique.

A lineage continuation.

“Senior, Ancestor Dragon got his essence blood extracted then burned, he was already exhausted, even if he fled to Divine Land, he probably wouldn’t survive long unless he gained other opportunities. Our Dragon Dao members did descend to find him, yet found nothing…”

The old man added.

“What about Ancestor Dragon’s clone, what did you do with it later?”

Ye Yun’s expression shifted slightly, asking.

“That clone was not very powerful, it was always under Dragon Sky’s surveillance, later mysteriously disappeared, in our clan there’s a rumor that Dragon Sky killed it, though no one knows if it’s true, since that fellow Dragon Sky is always elusive, rarely speaking truthfully to our clan members.”

The old man continued.
