Awakening the Ancestral Scale is the first step to success; only when the Ancestral Scale is awakened can there be a chance to resonate with it.
But most people need tremendous effort to awaken the ancestral scale, and many factions can't even do it, let alone resonate with it.
To awaken the ancestral scale, Bai Yingxue and other White Dragon clan experts prepared more than a dozen grand sacrificial ceremonies to awaken the ancestral scale.
But they never expected that as soon as they approached Zulin, he would automatically awaken without needing them to call for him.
At that moment, Bai Yingxue couldn't help but look at Long Chen. She vaguely sensed that Zu Lin's awakening was very likely related to Long Chen.
When she first saw Long Chen, she had a strange feeling that if she could travel together with him, good luck would surely come to her. She never expected it to come true so quickly.
Many people have already exhausted tremendous effort to awaken the ancestral scale, and by the time they try to resonate with it, they have no strength left to sustain it, leading to failure.
It should be understood that whether awakening the ancestral scale or resonating with it, one must burn their essence blood. Only in this state can the ancestral scale quickly assess the strength of the resonator and decide whether to continue the trial.
If resonance occurs and there is no succession, then subduing the ancestral scales is out of the question.
Now that the ancestral scale had been automatically awakened, Bai Yingxue had saved a lot of effort and gained a bit more confidence in subduing the ancestral scale.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
As everyone gradually approached the ancestral scale, the sacred radiance grew stronger and stronger, like surging waves, washing over everyone.
The force was not violent, but its strength was overwhelming. Soon, some White Dragon clan experts couldn't withstand it, their bodies trembling and chests tight, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on them, making it impossible to move an inch.
"Your Highness, we can only accompany you up to this point." Some of the White Dragon clan experts said shamefully.
This is the Ancestral Scale Domain. Limited by their bloodline aptitude, they can only come this far. If they charge forward any further, not only will their bodies fail, but their souls will also be wounded by the divine power of the Ancestral Scales.
"We're already doing very well, far surpassing previous records. You all stay here and receive the baptism of the Holy Light!" Bai Yingxue nodded.
She was truly gratified, because they had already traveled hundreds of miles more than the clan leaders had expected—hundreds of miles that could change their lives.
This was a good start for the White Dragon Clan, and more importantly, there were still thousands of White Dragon clan experts to hold on, meaning they could go further.
The closer one gets to the ancestral scale, the more blessings and stronger the baptism they receive. All the White Dragon clan's experts gritted their teeth and persevered.
Long Chen and Bai Yingxue continued forward. For Bai Yingxue, bathed in divine light at this moment, she was at sea, and that little resistance was nothing to her.
Bai Yingxue looked at Long Chen and was surprised to find that his steps were lighter and smoother than hers, seemingly without any resistance.
When they were less than a hundred li from Zulin, only Bai Yingxue and Long Chen remained. The other powerful figures were left behind in a few places, all at their limits.
Arriving here, Bai Yingxue began to feel a bit strained. The immense impact forced her to activate her dragon blood power to fight back, or else she would be swept away.
Long Chen's steps remained as light as ever, without any resistance. Bai Yingxue couldn't help but ask,
"Brother Long..."
"Don't speak." At that moment, an old, powerful voice echoed in her mind. In that instant, Bai Yingxue's delicate body trembled uncontrollably, Distracted, he was almost swept away.
"What?"
Long Chen was called out by Bai Yingxue. Seeing her unusual expression, Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"No... Nothing much? Bai Yingxue hurriedly said.
Although she tried hard to hide her shock, the look of disbelief in her eyes was impossible to hide, especially her body trembling uncontrollably, unsure if it was from excitement or nervousness.
Long Chen was also a smart man. He knew Bai Yingxue was hiding something from him, but he didn't press further, instead continuing to walk with her.
Until the two reached beneath the white dragon scales, at that moment, all the white dragon clan experts felt their hearts leapt into their throats, because the next step was to resonate with the ancestral scales.
Ancestral scale resonance requires Bai Yingxue to burn her essence blood to empower the ancestral scales, thereby building a bridge that can communicate with time and space and communicate with the will of the ancestral scales.
However, what they didn't expect was that Long Chen, an outsider, could actually reach the level of the ancestral scale.
However, the White Dragon clan's strong warriors held no hostility toward Long Chen. They were very confident in their perceptions and did not believe Long Chen would do anything harmful to the White Dragon Clan. On the contrary, they believed Long Chen would help them at a critical moment.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, another strange scene unfolded. Two divine lights simultaneously descended from the ancestral scales, enveloping Long Chen and Bai Yingxue.
At that moment, inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, whether it was the White Dragon clan experts or other dragon clan experts, everyone was shocked.
"What's going on? The other way around? People
looked utterly incredulous.
They were all powerful dragon clan members and knew that after awakening the ancestral scale, they should burn their essence blood, using their own essence blood power to condense into a pillar of blood soul, breaking through the ancestral scale to form a communication bridge.
But now, the ancestral scale had descended with divine radiance, enveloping the two of them. This scene overturned the understanding of all dragon clan experts, leaving them completely confused about what had happened.
Within the beam of light, the figures of Long Chen and Bai Yingxue gradually blurred, and soon, the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Resonance complete. Is this the beginning of the Ancestral Scale Trial?" Some exclaimed in shock, unable to believe their own eyes.
Not only them, but even the strong members of the White Dragon clan couldn't believe it. They had imagined countless possible difficulties along the way, but never imagined it would be so easy.
"God bless my White Dragon clan! Our clan is finally about to be revived!" A powerful member of the White Dragon Clan couldn't help but shout loudly, his voice trembling with excitement.
Other dragon clan experts also shouted 'Heaven blesses the White Dragon Clan.' Some were even moved to tears, kneeling on the ground and bowing before Zu Lin.
Inside the pillar of light, Long Chen couldn't see the outside world, not even Bai Yingxue beside him. The scene before him kept changing, as if entering a time-space tunnel, with space constantly twisting. When the scenery stopped shifting, he entered a world of stillness.
He arrived at an endless lake, smooth as a mirror, boundless and boundless, with a huge figure reflected on the water's surface.
When Long Chen looked up at the figure, he was startled—it was a giant white dragon, enormous and overwhelming, covering the entire sky and making it impossible to see its full form.
The white dragon's body is covered with huge white scales, which are enormous but covered with beautiful patterns, resembling natural jade, carved with landscapes, flowers, birds, sun, moon, and stars.
"Rumble... The
dragon's body began to turn, and then a huge dragon head appeared. It looked at Long Chen, and Long Chen looked back. Suddenly, the white dragon spoke:
"Welcome, heir of the great Dragon Emperor."
"Dragon Emperor?" Successor? "
When Long Chen heard this title, he was instantly stunned.
