Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 224: Supremacy is Mine!

Naturally, the elders didn’t believe Lin Xuan’s words and quickly left. The Ninth Elder also departed with Lin Xuan, returning to the Heavenly Dao Tower.

Next, they sent messages to recall all the disciples.

"What’s going on?" The returning geniuses were also confused. It wasn’t time yet, so why were they being called back to the Heavenly Dao Tower?

The Grand Elder explained, "Something just happened. Two half-step Grandmaster-level Demon Beasts have inexplicably perished. We suspect there’s a hidden Exotic Beast in the area. It’s very dangerous, so stop cultivating here and leave immediately."

What? The crowd erupted into an uproar.

To think there were hidden Demon Beasts in this place... how terrifying! They were fortunate not to have encountered them; otherwise, they would have certainly died. A wave of delayed fear washed over everyone. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Chu Yue also clenched her fists. A half-step Grandmaster... I’ll be able to reach that realm soon, too. As long as I comprehend the Dragon Claw on that stone slab, my strength will increase. Then, no one will be my match.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingwu found Lin Xuan and said, "Junior Brother Lin, I must return this to you. It’s far too precious."

She then took out the stone and quietly handed it to him.

Lin Xuan shook his head. "I really don’t need it. You keep it. It’s of no help to me."

Ye Qingwu was stunned. No help at all? Is he kidding? This is the Dragon Claw Stone Slab! It possesses supreme power, and all the major families and sects are desperately vying for it. How could it possibly be useless? I only comprehended it for half a day and I can already feel that my combat power has surged. This is an unparalleled treasure!

"Junior Brother Lin, stop joking with me. Since you know this is the Dragon Claw Stone Slab, you must know how precious it is."

Lin Xuan said, "Qinglong Villa gave it to me, but I have no use for it. I felt bad refusing them, so I had to accept it. If you don’t want it, then just throw it away or smash it."

Ye Qingwu was dumbfounded. Smash it? Throw it away? She couldn’t bear the thought. Lin Xuan’s words were just too shocking. This is something from Qinglong Villa!

"How are you connected to Qinglong Villa?" Ye Qingwu exclaimed.

The surrounding disciples turned to look, their curiosity piqued.

Ye Qingwu quickly put the stone slab away, then lowered her voice and asked, "What is your relationship with Qinglong Villa?"

Lin Xuan said calmly, "Qinglong Villa holds me in the highest esteem."

"What?" Ye Qingwu exclaimed, and the surrounding disciples erupted in an uproar.

Someone commented, "This guy’s boasting again, isn’t he?"

"Qinglong Villa holds you in the highest esteem? Who do you think you are?"

Shangguan Hao and his group also frowned. They had been kicked out of Qinglong Villa before, and hearing its name again filled them with rage. One of them said, "Lin Xuan, stop bragging! Qinglong Villa is a supreme existence. Why would they possibly listen to you?"

"Exactly! Who do you think you are?"

Lin Xuan stated, "If I tell Qinglong Villa to go east, they wouldn’t dare go west. If I want to enter the Cyan Dragon Hall, they will obediently open it for me. In their eyes, I am like a god."

HAHAHA! The people around them laughed with disdain.

Someone mocked, "Enter the Cyan Dragon Hall? Are you dreaming?"

"Even the imperial family can’t get in, so what makes you think you can?"

Someone else added, "You can command Qinglong Villa? I heard they kicked out countless guests recently. Was that on your order?"

Hearing this, everyone’s gaze shifted to Chu Yue, as she was one of the people who had been kicked out.

"That’s right. It was indeed my order," Lin Xuan admitted directly.

HAHAHAHA! The entire crowd burst into laughter, and Chu Yue’s face turned livid.

She had been expelled by Qinglong Villa, and now Lin Xuan was bringing it up again, even claiming it was his order! Does that mean... I was driven out by Lin Xuan? Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible! That damned brat! At that moment, Chu Yue wanted nothing more than to rush over and rip his mouth apart.

Even some of the elders couldn’t stand it any longer. The Third Elder snorted coldly, "One more word of nonsense and I’ll kick you out!"

"Oh, please stop talking! Stop bragging!" Ye Qingwu stomped her foot anxiously. "Fine, I’ll accept it, alright?"

She no longer dared to mention returning the stone slab, fearing Lin Xuan would start bragging again and never stop.

"Alright then." Lin Xuan shrugged and said no more.

Afterwards, the four Grandmasters piloted the Heavenly Dao Tower away from the mountain range.

「Deep within the Celestial Valley Mountain Range, in Demon King Valley.」

The Demon King let out an enraged roar. "Damnation! Who was it? Who killed my subordinates?"

He had dispatched two half-step Grandmasters to eliminate Lin Xuan, but both of them had perished. How was this possible?

Could Lin Xuan have done it? No, impossible. The boy is a mere ant; he couldn’t possess such power. Was it another one of the geniuses? Could it have been Chu Yue?

One of the Demon Beasts spoke up, "This Chu Yue is Chu Zhongtian’s sister. Her strength is also extremely formidable."

The Demon King, however, snorted coldly. "No matter how formidable she is, she couldn’t possibly defeat two half-step Grandmasters at once. It must have been the Grandmasters from the Heavenly Dao Academy who intervened. Damn it! Killing this Lin Xuan is proving to be quite difficult."

"Keep an eye on that brat. I will not let him get away!" The Demon King’s voice thundered, shaking the heavens and the earth.

「In a region of the Great Xia Country」

A vast expanse of land was covered with endless mountains, all of which were volcanoes. Among them was an especially terrifying volcano known as Flame Mountain.

At the foot of Flame Mountain stood a group of people. Among them was a handsome young man—the Young Celestial King. He had come here to cultivate, and as he gazed at Flame Mountain, his expression was one of immense excitement.

It wasn’t just him; the experts from the Celestial King’s Mansion surrounding him were equally thrilled. An elder said, "Our senses shouldn’t be mistaken. There is a superior flame within this mountain, presumably the legendary Anomalous Fire."

Another elder added excitedly, "Judging by this aura, it must be the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire, one of the Anomalous Fires!"

This was an exceptionally terrifying flame, possessing dreadful destructive power. If word of such an Anomalous Fire were to get out, the entire Great Xia Country would descend into a frenzy. Even the surrounding dynasties would go mad and flock here to fight desperately for it.

The Young Celestial King said excitedly, "I must obtain the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire! With it, my power will soar. I’ll have a chance to break into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Chart, and maybe even take first place!"

The Young Celestial King’s current cultivation was already at the level of a nine-star Martial General. It had only taken him a few months to reach this stage. His training speed was astonishingly fast, which was partly due to his extraordinary talent but also because the Celestial King’s Mansion possessed extremely abundant resources. As a result, his cultivation speed far surpassed that of other geniuses. But it still wasn’t enough. To make it into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Chart, one had to be at the peak of the nine-star level. To win first place, one would need the power of a half-step Grandmaster.

If he could obtain the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire, the Young Celestial King could instantly gain the power of a half-step Grandmaster.

Thinking of this, the Young Celestial King prepared to venture deep into Flame Mountain to subjugate the fire. However, an elder beside him advised, "Young Prince, do not be reckless. If news of this gets out and attracts others, we might not succeed. The priority now is to quickly inform the Prince. Have him bring people from the Celestial King’s Mansion to claim this entire mountain for ourselves. Only when this place becomes our territory will others not dare to set foot here."

"You are right." The Young Celestial King immediately sent a message to his father, the Prince.

「Celestial King’s Mansion.」

Upon receiving the message, the Celestial King was utterly shocked. The legendary Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire had appeared! They had to obtain it. He led a group of experts and soared into the sky.
