Chapter 948: Chapter 949: Blending In
Listening to Zi Ningās words, Ye Mo knew that she had secretly brought him into the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, which was already considered a violation of clan rules. If anyone found out that he had no clan insignia, he would surely be punished.
"Moāer, once I become the next Clan Leader of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, Iāll be able to control most of the clanās power. Iāll bring you back by then. Please donāt blame me."
Zi Ning said.
"I wonāt. I know you have your reasons. Even if you donāt bring me back, I wonāt blame you."
Ye Mo said.
"Moāer, I also know that you came to the Lingwu Continent to find me. Now that the Hall Master of the Chaos Palace has been killed by me, Brother Qingās revenge is also avenged. But we still havenāt been able to reunite as a family. You must cultivate well, okay? In the future, if you take a liking to a girl, just take her."
With strength, no one will dare to stop you.
"Mother, donāt you find it strange? The Hall Master of the Chaos Palace had no grievances with Father. Why would he frame Father? I suspect there must be more to this than meets the eye."
Hearing Zi Ningās words, Ye Mo couldnāt help but speak, "Perhaps the true mastermind isnāt the Hall Master of the Chaos Palace."
"Could it be Big Brother?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Ning recalled that it was Zi Long who, under the Clan Leaderās orders, had instructed his subordinates to take her away from the Zone of Desolation.
She frowned and continued, "Alright, donāt think too much. Just focus on cultivating here these few days. After you enter the Dragon Transformation Pond, Iāll send you to a good place, just as good as the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan."
Zi Ning waved her hand.
Ye Mo responded and left, but in his heart, he was thinking, "So it turns out Mother may become the Clan Leader of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan. Iām afraid itās not that simple. There must be people plotting against her behind the scenes. Perhaps Ziyan God-Honor bringing me into the Dragon Transformation Pond isnāt that easy. If my presence is discovered, it could have a significant impact on Motherās chances of becoming the next Clan Leader. I canāt let anything affect her."
Ye Mo wasnāt an idiot. After going through so much, he was well aware that even ordinary families would fight to the death for the position of Clan Leader, let alone a super family like the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan.
Moreover, his mother had no choice but to bring him into the clan at such a sensitive time.
In a flash, three days passed, and the annual grand event of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan arrived.
The opening ceremony of the Dragon Transformation Pond, which could also be considered the coming-of-age ceremony held by the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, required all males over eighteen to participate, to undergo strength testing and enter the Dragon Transformation Pond to awaken their Bloodline Power.
Ziyan God-Honor also took Ye Mo early and ascended Azure Dragon Peak along the Dragon Path. At the peak were several experts of the Azure Dragon Clan and an elderly man with black hair. There were also many youths standing there, looking about the same age as Ye Mo, all experts of the Cosmos Realm.
Standing beside these young people were some middle-aged men and women, who seemed to be their parents.
The elder saw Ziyan God-Honor with Ye Mo and immediately bowed, saying, "Elder Ziyang!"
The young men and women, as well as the middle-aged men and women, also immediately bowed upon seeing Ziyan God-Honor arrive, their expressions very respectful.
"No need to stand on ceremony."
Ziyan God-Honor waved his hand and said to the elder, "Elder Zi Shan, this is my grandson. I recently found him and brought him here to see if he can condense the Six Paths Dragon Pattern."
"Grandson?"
Zi Shan was taken aback, looking at Ye Mo incredulously.
Zi Shan knew that Ziyan God-Honor had a son, a fifth-generation descendant, who had married a noble daughter from the clan and then went on a very dangerous mission. Both fell during the mission.
At that time, many in the clan lamented that he left no children, leading to a loss of the bloodline.
Ziyan God-Honorās son was extremely talented. As a fifth-generation descendant, he had even condensed the Seven Paths Dragon Pattern, inheriting perfect Bloodline Power, which was considered a bloodline mutation. So his descendants were likely to carry on his Bloodline Power, with strong bloodline talent.
For example, Zi Ning, who had condensed the Six Paths Dragon Pattern, and if she married a man from the clan, her children could very likely condense the Six Paths Dragon Pattern, or at worst, the Five Dragon Patterns.
This was why when Zi Ning married Ye Qing, the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan was furious.
"Thatās right."
Ziyan God-Honor nodded and didnāt say anything further.
"This guy is too weak, his aura is so faint. How could he possibly be Elder Ziyangās grandson?"
"Yeah, I think itās fake. If heād inherited the Ancient Azure Dragon Clanās bloodline, he should at least have the advantage to reach the Profound Heaven Realm."
All those young men and women, as well as their parents, began to doubt.
In the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, even with poor talent, one could use their bloodline to reach the Profound Heaven Realm, but Ye Moās current realm was only at the Transcendence Realm.
However, their voices were low, only murmured, but Ye Mo could hear them all.
After a while, several more young individuals joined, led by their parents. Among them was Little Mu, escorted by a woman who seemed to be her mother. Her attire was quite plain, indicating a low status within the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan.
"Thirty-one young individuals will undergo the coming-of-age ceremony this year, plus Elder Ziyangās grandson, making it thirty-two. Since everyone is here, follow me."
With that, the black-haired elder took the lead, entering the mountain peakās passageway. The passageway was ten meters wide, its walls engraved with relief carvings that appeared to be the martial techniques of the Azure Dragon Clan.
As they walked through the passageway, Little Mu tossed Ye Mo an encouraging look, making him smile and return the gesture.
The girl had taken care of him when he was unconscious, serving as Zi Ningās servant girl. Who knew how many dragon patterns she could condense?
"Weāre almost there, please remain quiet."
Said the black-haired elder, leading everyone into a spacious hall where another elder immediately approached to greet him.
Inside the hall, Ye Mo saw a large pool in the center, where energy churned like boiling water. It was blood-red, resembling a blood pool.
On one side of the hall sat four elders, aged and dignified, with closed eyes like corpses.
However, upon sensing the arrival of Elder Ziyang, they immediately opened their eyes, nodded to him, and resumed their meditative posture.
"Little Mu, youāre about to enter the Dragon Transformation Pond. If your dragon patterns arenāt more than mine, Iāll become Zi Ningās servant girl."
While waiting, another young woman slightly older than Little Mu approached her with a confident smile.
Zi Ning might become the next Clan Leader, so being her servant girl promised a boundless future.
"Zi Qingqing, donāt be so complacent. Maybe Iāll condense three dragon patterns."
Little Muās face flushed red.
"Haha, both your parents only have one dragon pattern. Do you think you can undergo bloodline mutation? My parents are three-path dragon pattern experts; even at the worst, I can get two."
Zi Qingqing laughed.
"Quiet down, all of you. Standstill where you are. Now, the elders of the Four Pavilions will test your strength. If you havenāt reached the Cosmos Realm, youāll be sent to the Prison Dragon Pagoda upon entering the Dragon Transformation Pond. However, if you manage to condense more than the Five Dragon Patterns, youāll be exempt from penalty."
